    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La températureT m et l'enthalpie de fusion ont été mesurées sur des cristaux à chaines repliées de fractions de polyoxyéthyléne, de masse moléculaire variant entre 3000 et 10000. Ces cristaux sont constitués par des molécules repliées un nombren entier de fois et ils ont une stabilité thermique inhabituelle. La vitesse de dépliement des chaines a été mesurée lots de la croissance isotherme des cristaux et du chauffage consécutif et l'on a pu définir un critère de stabilité pour des cristaux à chaines repliées. En étendant la théorie deFlory etVrij aux cristaux à chaines repliées et en utilisant les valeurs deT m on a pu estimer les contributions respectives des bouts de chaine et des repliements à l'énergie libre superficielle. Les résultats suggèrent un couplage important, par liaison hydrogène entre les groupes terminaux OH lorsque la surface des cristaux est constituée entièrement de bouts de chaine, l'énergie de couplage étant de 3,1 Kcal/mole. Ce couplage disparait pratiquement par le rephement des chaines. L'analyse des résultats permet aussi d'estimer la longueur des bouts de chaines et celle des repliements qui émergent du réseau cristallin: ils sont formés, respectivement de 2,8 et 3,5 unités de monomère, en moyenne. Les repliements sont serrés et relient des positions adjacentes du réseau. On déduit finalement une expression deT m en fonction de la longueur des chaines et den, paramètres qui déterminent l'épaisseurL du cristal. La comparaison critique de cette relation avec celle généralement utilisée pour déterminer l'énergie libre superficielle, impliquant une variation linéaire deT m avec 1/L, montre que cette dernière ne s'applique en toute rigueur qu'aux chaines de longueur infinie et aux cristaux d'épaisseur supérieure à une valeur critiqueL*.
    Notes: Summary Melting temperatureT m and enthalpy of fusion have been measured, by DSC, for folded chain crystals of low molecular weight poly(ethylene-oxide) fractions ranging from 3000 to 10000. These crystals are formed by molecules folded a small integer number,n, of times and show unusual thermal stability on heating. The rates of chain unfolding during isothermal crystal growth and subsequent heating were measured and a reliable stability criterion could be defined for folded chain polymer crystals. Extending the theoretical treatment ofFlory andVrij to folded chain crystals and usingT m data, a reasonable estimate was derived for the respective surface free energy contributions of chain ends and chain folds. The results suggest considerable hydrogen bonding between OH end groups, with a bonding energy of 3.1 Kcal/mole, when the crystal surface contains only chain ends. Hydrogen bonding is essentially destroyed by chain folding. Further analysis leads to an estimate of the contour length of cilia, associated with chain ends and to that of chain folds containing, on average, 2.8 and 3.5 monomer units respectively. Chain folds must thus be sharp involving adjacent re-entry. Finally, an analytical expression is derived showing the separate dependence ofT m on chain length andn, parameters which determine the crystal thicknessL. Critical comparison of this relationship to that commonly used for determining surface free energies from linearT m vs 1/L plots shows that the latter only applies accurately to chains of infinite length and to crystals of thickness larger than a critical valueL*.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Pflanzengesellschaften charakterisiert durch Sippen einer nach Geranium sanguineum benennten soziologisch-ökologischen Artengruppe, sind im Sommer 1975 in Siebenbürgen (Rumänien) untersucht worden. Konzepten und Methoden der Braun-Blanquet Lehre sind angewendet worden. Falls die Braun-Blanquet Lehre verschicdene Verfahren zulässt, haben wir versucht die Wahl zu erläutern. Die numerische Klassifikation unseren Aufnahmen mittels des polythetischen, agglomerativen TABORD Programm wird erläutert, Die Untersuchungshypothese, dass die Geranium Arten'gruppe ihr Optimum in Staudengesellschaften des Geranion Typus hat, zeigt ihre Validität. Das Geranion enthält entweder natürliche, intrazonale Gesellschaften oder halbnatürliche, ephemere Geselischaften, beide auf Kalziumreichen Böden über Kalkstein, Konglomerat oder Mergel im Bereich der zonalen Vegetation relativ mesophytischer Querceteapubescenti-petraeae und Carpinion dacicum Wälder und des Fagion der niedrigen Höhenlagen. Die ausgesprochene Stenotopie und Kleinflächigkeit des Geranion ist weiter durch Geniessbarkeit für Weidetiere, Verbreitungsanlagen und niedrige Konkurrenzkraft gegenüber Horstgräser der gesellschaftaufbaunden Arten bedingt. Vier Geranion-Assoziationen mit ihren diagnostischen Arten und Differentialkombination ökologischer Komponenten sind beschrieben worden. Der Betonung verschiedener floristischen merkmalen des Geranion oder verschiedene Klassekonzepte können zur Klassifizierung in verschiedenen höheren syntaxonomischen Einheiten führen. The first author thanks Prof. Dr. P. Jakucs (Debrecen) and Dr. Z. Debreczy (Budapest) for excursions and discussions in relation to the theme of the study. The investigatons wre supported, as far as the first author is concerned, by the Foundation for Fundamental Biological Research (BION), which is subsidized by the Netherlands Organization for the Advancement of Pure Research (ZWO).
    Notes: Summary Four Transsylvanian Geranion associations with their differentiating combination of ecological components are described. Emphasis on different floristic characteristics. of the Geranion or different class concepts may lead to classification into different higher syntaxonomical units. The hypothesis that the Geranium group species have their optimum in Transsylvania in forb communities of the Geranion type could be validated. The Geranion in Transsylvania is either a natural intrazonal community or a semi-natural, ephemeral community. Both are typical of calcareous soils on limestone, conglomerate or marl in the reach of a zonal vegetation of relatively mesophytic Quercetea pubescenti-petraeae, of Carpinion dacicum and of Fagion forests of the lower montane zone. The restricted habitat and/or time niche of Geranion communities is further explained by the palatability, the dissemination mechanism and the lack of competitive vigour against tuftgrassers of its constructive species.

    Notes: The characteristic fetures of isobaric volume and enthalpy recovery of glasses are briefly recalled and analysed in terms of a multiparameter model involving a distribution of retardation times, τi. The latter are assumed to depend both on temperature and on the instantaneous state (structure) of the glass, whereas the shape of the retardation spectrum is invariant and merely shifts, as τi, along the logarithmic time scale. Qualitative comparison of the theoretical predictions with various types of experiment reveals an excellent agreement. Some effects of structural recovery on the mechanical, or electrical properties of polymer glasses are also recalled and discussed in terms of the theoretical model The text which follows is merely an extended abstract of the work published elsewhere (see Refs 5 & 10)..

    Notes: Isobaric variations of the characteristic temperatures Tg and Tmax, obtained on uniform cooling and heating of glasses, are investigated in terms of their dependence on the relevant experimental variables, using a single retardation time model. The corresponding partial derivatives of Tg and Tmax are derived as functions of the partition parameter x (ranging between zero and unity), which determines the relative contributions of temperature and structure to the retardation time. It is shown that the variation of Tg with the cooling rate is independent of x. In contrast, Tmax critically depends on x, and its value as well as those of its three partial derivatives are linear functions of x-1. The variations of Tmax are analyzed in terms of a set of reduced variables, leading to simple reduction rules between any two of the experimental variables when the third is kept invariant. The reduction rules are further substantiated by investigating the behavior of glasses in two-step thermal cycles, which result in a unique set of inter-relationships between any pair of the partial derivatives of Tmax, whatever the value of x. The results are discussed in terms of their relevance to the behavior of real glasses.

    Notes: A multiordering parameter model for glass-transition phenomena has been developed on the basis of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. In this treatment the state of the glass is determined by the values of N ordering parameters in addition to T and P; the departure from equilibrium is partitioned among the various ordering parameters, each of which is associated with a unique retardation time. These times are assumed to depend on T, P, and on the instantaneous state of the system characterized by its overall departure from equilibrium, giving rise to the well-known nonlinear effects observed in volume and enthalpy recovery. The contribution of each ordering parameter to the departure and the associated retardation times define the fundamental distribution function (the structural retardation spectrum) of the system or, equivalently, its fundamental material response function. These, together with a few experimentally measurable material constants, completely define the recovery behavior of the system when subjected to any thermal treatment. The behavior of the model is explored for various classes of thermal histories of increasing complexity, in order to simulate real experimental situations. The relevant calculations are based on a discrete retardation spectrum, extending over four time decades, and on reasonable values of the relevant material constants in order to imitate the behavior of polymer glasses. The model clearly separates the contribution of the retardation spectrum from the temperature-structure dependence of the retardation times which controls its shifts along the experimental time scale. This is achieved by using the natural time scale of the system which eliminates all the nonlinear effects, thus reducing the response function to the Boltzmann superposition equation, similar to that encountered in the linear viscoelasticity. As a consequence, the system obeys a rate (time) -temperature reduction rule which provides for generalization within each class of thermal treatment. Thus the model establishes a rational basis for comparing theory with experiment, and also various kinds of experiments between themselves. The analysis further predicts interesting features, some of which have often been overlooked. Among these are the impossibility of extraction of the spectrum (or response function) from experiments involving cooling from high temperatures at finite rate; and the appearance of two peaks in the expansion coefficient, or heat capacity, during the heating stage of three-step thermal cycles starting at high temperatures. Finally, the theory also provides a rationale for interpreting the time dependence of mechanical or other structure-sensitive properties of glasses as well as for predicting their long-range behavior.

    Notes: Tridimensional associations of lamellar polymer single crystals, grown from dilute solutions, are described as derived from their sedimentation patterns. These associations include interlocked crystals and decorating crystal halves. The origin of these crystals and their mutual orientation are discussed and tentatively interpreted by specific interactions between the fold surface and the crystallizing chains.

    Notes: Thermal behavior of glasses, as observed from the isobaric variations of volume, v, and enthalpy, H, is analyzed in terms of retardation kinetics. A phenomenological theory involving a single retardation time, τ, is developed, assuming that molecular mobility is controlled essentially by the actual free volume, or configurational entropy of the glassy specimen. The characteristic features of the v and H isobars, as derived from the theory, are examined as a function of the thermal history of a typical glassy specimen. The respective contributions of temperature and structural parameters to τ, are also discussed in terms of the characteristic parameters of the isobars. The theoretical predictions are compared with some dilatometric data obtained with an atactic polystyrene. The comparison reveals the limitations of the theoretical treatment and suggests that glass-transition phenomena involve more than one retardation mechanism.

    Notes: A series of low-molecular-weight linear polyesters were epitaxially crystallized from dilute solution and the melt on a variety of organic and inorganic substrates. The rod-like polyester crystals which were formed assumed general orientations in alignment with substrate geometry. This yielded monodirectional orientation of these crystals on one of the organic substrates, and bidirectional orientation on the other surfaces. Heterogeneous nucleation on the organic substrates, trioxane and naphthalene, induced the growth of much larger epitaxial crystals than have previously been observed on inorganic substrates. Those polyesters, with a high percentage of methylene units per chain repeat, crystallized in an unusual polymorphic form when in contact with the organic substrates. Polymorphic transformation to the normal form was not possible under thermal treatment or with increased crystal thickness. The expected relationship between dipolar alignment in the polymer crystal and this polymorphism was established.
