    Notes: The complex formation behaviors of an α-helical polypeptide containing pyridyl ligands in the side chains, poly (Nω-2-pyridylmethyl L-glutamine) (P2PG), were investigated by absorption and CD spectroscopy using Cu2+ ion as a guest molecule in 2,2,2-trifiuoroethanol solution. In the low Cu2+ ion concentration, P2PG exhibited the predominant formation of Cu2+ and two pyridyl side-chain complexes, involving a regular arrangement of the pyridyl side chains. On the other hand, the complexes were converted to Cu2+ and one pyridyl side-chain species with increasing Cu2+ ion concentration. The conversion was accompanied by the disappearance of the side-chain ordered structure without any changes in the backbone conformation. Moreover, the still remaining coordination sites of Cu2+ were capable of complexing monomer pyridine (Py) added as a second guest to form ternary complexes, P2PG-Cu2+-Py, following the reconstitution of the ordered structure on the periphery of the α-helix backbone. The unique characteristics of P2PG can be explained in terms of the restriction of the pyridyl side chains to form intramolecular chelate complexes, depending on the rigid α-helix conformation. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Sorption of carbon dioxide gas by a film of the racemic form of poly(γ-benzyl glutamate) was observed over the temperature range from 10 to 40°C and the permeability coefficient of carbon dioxide gas through the film was measured over the temperature range from 30 to 120°C. Different sorption isotherms were obtained in the ranges above and below the glass-like transition temperature, respectively. The result indicates that the sorption behavior is influenced by the side chain mobility. The amount of sorption by the racemic form of poly(γ-benzyl glutamate) does not vary with the intermolecular benzene ring stacking, but is similar to that of the form C of poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) which contains no stacking. The breakdown of the intermolecular benzene ring stacking, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, results in an abrupt increase of the permeability and the diffusion coefficients, and conversely the formation of the stacking leads to an abrupt decrease in the permeability and the diffusion coefficients. Below the transition temperature, the permeability coefficient of the racemic form of poly(γ-benzyl glutamate) is smaller than that of the forms A, B, and C of poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate), related to the benzene ring stacking. The diffusion coefficient was estimated from the free volume theory, and the calculated value was compared with the value obtained from the permeability and the solubility coefficients. The fractional free volume was estimated to be about 0,068, when the best fit between the experimental and the calculated diffusion coefficients was obtained by a trial and error method.

    Notes: The sorption and permeation of oxygen and nitrogen in and through alternating copoly(vinylidene cyanide-vinyl acetate) [copoly(VDCN-VAc)] (Tg = 176°C) membranes annealed for different periods just below Tg, 160°C, were investigated over the pressure range from 100 to 1000 cmHg. The dual-mode sorption and mobility models were used to analyze the results. A sub-Tg annealing of copoly(VDCN-VAc) caused a slight decrease in the amount of sorption in the membranes. This decrease in the amount of oxygen and nitrogen sorption can be attributed to a decrease in the Langmuir sorption capacity term, C′H, with increasing sub-Tg annealing period. The densification of copoly(VDCN-VAc) membranes caused simultaneously by the annealing remarkably reduced diffusion coefficients for both gases. The reduction in diffusion coefficients of Langmuir mode, DH, for both gases was found to be larger than that of Henry's law mode, DD. Furthermore, permselectivity of oxygen to nitrogen, the ratio of permeability coefficient of oxygen to nitrogen (PO2/PN2), reached to 11.8 for the copoly(VDCN-VAc) annealed for 30 h. Evidently the reduction of DH and DD for nitrogen with increasing annealing period was much larger than that for oxygen.

    Notes: Copoly(γ-stearly-L-glutamate-γ-methyl-L-glutamate)s with various compositions were synthesized by the ester exchange reaction of poly(γ-methyl-L-glutamate). Circular dichroism studies were carried out for solution and solid film as a function of the degree of stearylation and temperature. The slight and gradual temperature dependence of molecular ellipticity was observed for solution of all the copolyglutamates studied here and for the solid film of the copolyglutamate with the degree of stearylation of 16%, indicative of no reversal in the helix sense. However the remarkable change in negative molecular ellipticity with temperature was detected for the solid film of the copolyglutamate with a low degree of stearylation, e.g., 52%, whereas the drastic change in molecular ellipticity from a negative to positive value appeared for that with a higher degree of stearylation. This is discussed in terms of the reversal in the helix sense from a right- to left-handed α helix with the increase of temperature occurring at the melting temperature of the ordered side chain region.

    Notes: Copoly(γ-stearyl L-glutamate-γ-methyl L-glutamate)s with various compositions were synthesized by ester exchange of poly(γ-methyl L-glutamate) with stearyl alcohol. The temperature dependence of the volume and helical spacing of the copolyglutamates thus prepared was examined from 0 to 100°C, observing the melting and crystallization of the long alkyl side chain attached to the polypeptide backbone. The melting temperature of the long side chain increased with increasing stearyl L-glutamate content. With increasing temperature, the α helical spacing decreased, especially with the melting of the side chain. On the other hand, the volume increased with increasing temperature and a marked increase was observed on melting. The above two phenomena were elucidated according to the structural model of the long side chain of the copolyglutamates proposed here. The transport properties, permeability coefficients were found to be considerably affected by the side-chain structure of the copolyglutamate and by the melting or crystallization of the side chain. The permeability coefficient of the copolyglutamate with 67% degree of stearylation, varied as much as two orders of magnitude before and after melting or crystallization. It was also confirmed that the permeability coefficient is controllable by the side-chain structural change of polypeptides.

    Notes: The ionic interaction of poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) ionomer neutralized with Mn2+ or Cu2+ was studied by ESR spectroscopy to explore the local structure in the ionic aggregate. ESR spectra of the ethylene ionomer were obtained as functions of degree of neutralization and temperature. The existence of both isolated and aggregated cations in the ionomer was confirmed by ESR. In addition, the formation of a Cu2+-Cu2+ dimer structure similar to the crystal structure of copper acetate monohydrate was found in ethylene ionomer containing the Cu2+. Cation-cation interactions changed markedly around 70°C with increasing temperature, representing the onset of the motion of cations in the aggregated ionic structure.

    Notes: The specific volume-temperature relationships of polystyrene, poly(2-chlorostyrene), and their polymer blends as well as the volume change of mixing Δvm of the blends were obtained in the liquid state by dilatometry. The equation of state parameter and the molecular parameter of each homopolymer and blends were determined according to the lattice fluid theory of Sanchez and Lacombe. The experimental Δvm obtained agreed quite well with that predicted from theory, and the enthalpy of mixing ΔHm was also predicted using the pair molecular parameter. These two values were negative, indicative of miscibility of polystyrene and poly(2-chlorostyrene) in the liquid state. The absolute values of Δvm and ΔHm were about twice those for polystyrene and poly(phenylene oxide) blend, suggesting a specific interaction between the two polymers.

    Notes: To elucidate the permeation mechanism in polypeptide membranes, permeation of water vapor and carbon dioxide gas through a series of poly(n-alkyl L-glutamate) (polymers of methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, hexyl, and octyl glutamate) were studied. It was confirmed that diffusion of small molecular substances in polypeptides takes place through the side chain region between helices. The diffusion coefficient of carbon dioxide gas increases with increase in side chain length. As for water vapor, the diffusion coefficient is highest with poly(n-butyl glutamate), and the clustering effect of water may contribute to the diffusion coefficient with increase in the hydrophobic nature of the polymer.

    Notes: The effect of the physical aging of ethylene ionomers was studied for the samples with the acid content of 5.4 mol%, and the degree of neutralization, 0%, 60% Na, 60% Zn, and 90% Zn. The information about the crystal and the cluster part of the physically aged ionomers was obtained by differential scanning calorimetry and by dynamic viscoelastic measurements, respectively. The degree of crystallinity and the dynamic modulus for the ionomers of the degree of neutralization 0%, 60% Na and 60% Zn increased gradually with the aging time; on the other hand, the crystallinity of 90% Zn remained constant and the modulus at 100°C increased to a certain value up to a period of 100 h, but thereafter the crystallinity increased remarkably and the modulus remained. These facts indicate that the crystallization of neutralized ethylene ionomer starts after clustering and the clustering would finish at early stage of the physical aging for intermediately neutralized ethylene ionomer. The physical aging effect of the ethylene ionomers was, thus, found to be important to material design.

    Notes: The influence of side chain structure on sorption of xenon and carbon dioxide gas by polypeptides is examined in two ways: chemical structure of side chain and higher order structure of the side chain region. Sorption of xenon gas increases progressively with increase in side chain length of poly(n-alkyl L-glutamates). The sorption isotherms of a polymer at various temperatures are reduced to one curve when the data are arranged in the form of sorption per residue versus fugacity ratio (as activity). The sorption of carbon dioxide gas shows a minimum at an intermediate length of side chains, corresponding to poly(n-propyl or n-butyl glutamate). The behavior is considered the result of overlapping influences of looseness of the side chain region and density of polar groups. The Langmuir constants and the enthalpy and entropy of sorption explain this quantitatively. Sorption of carbon dioxide gas is influenced by the higher-order structure of poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate). In this polymer, the benzyl ester part is the main sorption site, and it was confirmed that the stacking between side-chain benzene rings significantly reduces the extent of sorption.
