    Notes: A series of poly(tert-butyl acetylene) (PTBA) polymers was prepared with cis contents, as characterized by 13C NMR spectroscopy, ranging from 44% to 100%. The sorption and transport properties of propane in this systematically varied series were determined by a sensitive gravimetric sorption technique. As the cis content of the polymer increased, propane solubility and diffusivity decreased markedly and the d-spacing, determined by wide angle x-ray diffraction spectroscopy, decreased monotonically with increasing cis content, suggesting that higher order molecular structure, related explicitly to configurational variations, may strongly influence chain packing in these rigid, glassy materials and, in turn, sorption and transport properties of small molecules in this polymer series. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The ability of the Sanchez-Lacombe equation of state to predict the solubility of small penetrants in rubbery polymer matrices, over a wide range of ambient pressures, is examined critically. The solute chemical potential and, in turn, the resulting predicted isotherms are found to depend strongly on solute equation of state parameter values and on the mixing parameter for polymer-penetrant interactions. The isotherms are less sensitive to polymer equation of state parameters. In the sorption of organic vapors into polymers, the model does not describe well the sorption isotherms at high values of penetrant activity. The model appears to describe sorption isotherms most accurately when both polymer and penetrant equation of state parameters are determined from pure component properties, in the same temperature and pressure range as the sorption data, and when a mixing parameter is used to adjust the fit of the model to the data. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Maximum extraction stress and integrated extraction work were measured for sutures implanted for 3, 7, and 14 day periods. Six common non-absorbable sutures, representative of braided and monofilamentary forms, were implanted subdermally and were used for cutaneous incision closure with purebred pointer dogs. The data show: (1) Braided sutures, polyester/Teflon, silk-type B, and silk-silicone interacted with peripheral tissue to a significantly greater degree than the monofilamentary types, nylon, polypropylene, and polyethylene; (2) polyester-Teflon braided suture interacted to a lesser degree than the other braided sutures; (3) the relatively intense interaction of plain silk and silicone-treated silk appears to reflect the combined effects of mechanical aspects of braiding and of biochemical response; and (4) all braided sutures swelled over the implantation periods with as much as a 70% increase in diameter after 14 days for silk.

    Notes: In this study tissue-suture interaction was evaluated in terms of instantaneous stress and total work at withdrawal, histological response, and photomicrographic suture appearance. Porcine subjects and subcuticular incision closures identical to those of clinical plastic surgery were used; implant periods were 1, 2, and 3 weeks. Monofilamentary sutures (4-0) of nylon, linear polyethylene, polypropylene, and Teflon FEP were used; stainless steel and braided siliconized silk were included for comparison. Perisutural sleeves, formed by ingrowth of epithelium up to 1 cm from the loci of emergence of the suture through epidermis, were found to account for 70-85% of withdrawal work. The subcutaneous closure is superior to interrupted or running stitches in minimizing these “end effects” and attendant exacerbation of tissue-suture interaction. The degree of the latter combined with consideration of suture strength, suppleness, and knot durability indicate that nylon and Teflon FEP monofilaments are sutures of choice for cutaneous closure.

    Notes: An aromatic copolyester composed of 25 mol % phenyl hydroquinone, 10 mol % isophthalic acid, 40 mol % chloroterephthalic acid, and 25 mol % t-butyl hydroquinone (PICT) has been synthesized. This amorphous, glassy polymer is soluble in common organic solvents such as methylene chloride. Thin, solution-cast films may be prepared which are in a metastable, vitrified, optically isotropic state. On first heating of an isotropic film at 20°C/min in a calorimeter, one glass transition is observed at low temperature (approximately 49°C) and is ascribed to the glass/rubber transition of the metastable, isotropic polymer. This thermal event is followed by a small exotherm due to the development of order during the scan, which results in a second Tg at approximately 125°C. This Tg is associated with the glass/rubber transition of the ordered polymer. Nematic order can be developed by thermal annealing. The lower Tg increases toward the upper Tg as annealing time is increased. For an initially isotropic film annealed at 90°C, the increase of the lower Tg with annealing time and the increase in birefringence observed by optical microscopy are governed by similar kinetics. Isotropization occurs in the temperature range of 250-300°C. The nematic polymer is slightly more dense than its isotropic analog. No detectable differences between isotropic and nematic samples were observed in rotating frame proton spin lattice relaxation times. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Propane and n-butane sorption in blends of poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP) and poly(1-phenyl-1-propyne) (PPP) have been determined. Solubilities of propane and n-butane increased as the PTMSP content in the blends increased. This result is consistent with the higher free volume of PTMSP-rich blends and the better thermodynamic compatibility between PTMSP and these hydrocarbons. Propane and n-butane sorption isotherms were well described by the dual-mode model for sorption in glassy polymers. PTMSP/PPP blends are strongly phase-separated, heterogeneous materials. A noninteracting domain model developed for sorption in phase-separated glassy polymer blends suggests that sorption in the Henry's law regions (i.e., the equilibrium, dense phase of the blends) is consistent with the model. However, Langmuir capacity parameters in the blends are lower than predicted from the domain model, suggesting that the amount of nonequilibrium excess free volume associated with the Langmuir sites depends on blend composition. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP), a high free-volume glassy di-substituted polyacetylene, has the highest gas permeabilities of all known polymers. The high gas permeabilities in PTMSP result from its very high excess free volume and connectivity of free volume elements. Permeability coefficients of permanent gases in PTMSP decrease dramatically over time due to loss of excess free volume. The effects of aging on gas permeability and selectivity of PTMSP membranes continuously exposed to a 2 mol % n-butane/98 mol % hydrogen mixture over a period of 47 days are reported. The permeation properties of PTMSP membranes are quite stable when the polymer is continuously exposed to a gas mixture containing a highly sorbing organic vapor such af n-butane. The n-butane/hydrogen selectivity was essentially constant for the 47-day test period at a value of 29, or 88% of the initial value of the as-cast film of 33. Condensable gases such as n-butane may serve as a “filler” in the nonequilibrium free volume of the polymer, thereby preserving the high level of excess free volume. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The gas permeation properties of poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP), poly(1-phenyl-1-propyne) (PPP), and blends of PTMSP and PPP have been determined with hydrocarbon/hydrogen mixtures. For a glassy polymer, PTMSP has unusual gas permeation properties which result from its very high free volume. Transport in PPP is similar to that observed in conventional, low-free-volume glassy polymers. In experiments with n-butane/hydrogen gas mixtures, PTMSP and PTMSP/PPP blend membranes were more permeable to n-butane than to hydrogen. PPP, on the other hand, was more permeable to hydrogen than to n-butane. As the PTMSP composition in the blend increased from 0 to 100%, n-butane permeability increased by a factor of 2600, and n-butane/hydrogen selectivity increased from 0.4 to 24. Thus, both hydrocarbon permeability and hydrocarbon/hydrogen selectivity increase with the PTMSP content in the blend. The selectivities measured with gas mixtures were markedly higher than selectivities calculated from the corresponding ratio of pure gas permeabilities. The difference between mixed gas and pure gas selectivity becomes more pronounced as the PTMSP content in the blend increases. The mixed gas selectivities are higher than pure gas selectivities because the hydrogen permeability in the mixture is much lower than the pure hydrogen permeability. For example, the hydrogen permeability in PTMSP decreased by a factor of 20 as the relative propane pressure (p/psat) in propane/hydrogen mixtures increased from 0 to 0.8. This marked reduction in permanent gas permeability in the presence of a more condensable hydrocarbon component is reminiscent of blocking of permanent gas transport in microporous materials by preferential sorption of the condensable component in the pores. The permeability of PTMSP to a five-component hydrocarbon/hydrogen mixture, similar to that found in refinery waste gas, was determined and compared with published permeation results for a 6-Å microporous carbon membrane. PTMSP exhibited lower selectivities than those of the carbon membrane, but permeability coefficients in PTMSP were nearly three orders of magnitude higher. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Pure gas and hydrocarbon vapor transport properties of blends of two glassy, polyacetylene-based polymers, poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) [PTMSP] and poly(1-phenyl-1-propyne) [PPP], have been determined. Solid-state CP/MAS NMR proton rotating frame relaxation times were determined in the pure polymers and the blends. NMR studies show that PTMSP and PPP form strongly phase-separated blends. The permeabilities of the pure polymers and each blend were determined with hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and n-butane. PTMSP exhibits unusual gas and vapor transport properties which result from its extremely high free volume. PTMSP is more permeable to large organic vapors, such as n-butane, than to small, permanent gases, such as hydrogen. PPP exhibits gas permeation characteristics of conventional low free volume glassy polymers; PPP is more permeable to hydrogen than to n-butane. In PTMSP/PPP blends, both n-butane permeability and n-butane/hydrogen selectivity increase as the PTMSP content of the blends increases. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
