    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A new flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser with 1,5 ms pulse length and tunable wavelengths between 585 and 600 nm (Candela ScleroPLUS) is now available for the treatment of ectatic leg veins. We evaluated 232 single test treatments using 595 and 600 nm wavelength in 75 test persons. For smaller vessels up to a diameter of 0,5 mm, treatments at 16 and 18 J/cm2 showed good results in 60 and 82% respectively; for vessels up to 1 mm in 27 and 33%. Treatment at 595 nm was a little more effective than at 600 nm. Larger vessels could not be treated effectively. The main side effects consisted in hyper- (34%) or hypopigmentation (30%). Thus, in addition to the usual sclerotherapy, this laser is a useful device for the treatment of leg vein ectasia.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Zur Behandlung kosmetisch störender Besenreiser steht ein neuer blitzlampengepumpter gepulster Farstofflaser mit 1,5 ms Impulsdauer und verschiedenen Wellenlängen zwischen 585 und 600 nm zur Verfügung (Candela ScleroPLUS). Wir evaluierten 232 einmalige Probebehandlungen mit 595 und 600 nm Wellenlänge bei 75 Probanden. Bei kleineren Gefäßen bis 0,5 mm Durchmesser konnte bei Behandlung mit 16 bzw. 18 J/cm2 unter Zusammenfassung beider Wellenlängen in 60 bzw. 82% der Fälle ein zufriedenstellendes Ergebnis erzielt werden, bei Gefäßen bis 1 mm noch in knapp 27 bzw. 33%, wobei bei 595 nm tendenziell bessere Ergebnisse als bei 600 nm beobachtet werden konnten. Bei größeren Gefäßen zeigte sich kein deutlicher Erfolg. Die Nebenwirkungen beschränkten sich im wesentlichen auf Hyper- (34%) und Hypopigmentierungen (30%). Dieser Laser stellt somit eine sinnvolle Ergänzung zur herkömmlichen Sklerosierungstherapie dar.

    Notes: Abstract The nasal cavity is the main passage for air flow between the ambient atmosphere and the lungs. A preliminary requisite for any investigation of the mechanisms of each of its main physiological functions, such as filtration, air-conditioning and olfaction, is a basic knowledge of the air-flow pattern in this cavity. However, its complex three-dimensional structure and inaccessibility has traditionally prevented a detailed examination of internalin vivo orin vitro airflow patterns. To gain more insight into the flow pattern in inaccessible regions of the nasal cavity we have conducted a mathematical simulation of asymmetric airflow patterns through the nose. Development of a nose-like model, which resembles the complex structure of the nasal cavity, has allowed for a detailed analysis of various boundary conditions and structural parameters. The coronal and sagittal cross-sections of the cavity were modeled as trapezoids. The inferior and middle turbinates were represented by curved plates that emerge from the lateral walls. The airflow was considered to be incompressible, steady and laminar. Numerical computations show that the main air flux is along the cavity floor, while the turbinate structures direct the flow in an anterior-posterior direction. The presence of the turbinates and the trapezoidal shape of the cavity force more air flux towards the olfactory organs at the top of the cavity.

    Notes: The skin-core morphology of injection-molded polypropylene bars has been investigated employing X-ray small-and wide-angle scattering. The small-angle scattering has been evaluated by means of interface distribution functions. It is found that skin and core exhibit different morphologies. In the skin, the crystal lamellae are oriented primarily around the c axis, but a (small) fraction of a*-axis-oriented lamellae also exists. The lamellar thickness in the skin layer measured from the meridional small-angle X-ray scattering shows higher values than in the core. The composition of the monoclinic α1, α2 crystal modifications show dependencies that are typical for the cooling conditions in the mold during injection. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The crystallization behavior of an isotactic polypropylene/linear low-density polyethylene blend (PP/LLDPE) that is modified with styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene triblock copolymer (SEBS) has been investigated using differential thermoanalysis and polarization microscopy. SEBS, which enhances the impact resistance of the blend, has an effect on both the nucleation and crystallization kinetics of the polypropylene component. Nucleation half times, nucleation densities, and spherulite growth rates are influenced by the presence of the copolymer. It is found that SEBS, depending on its concentration in the blend, increases the adhesion between matrix and PE domains and acts simultaneously as the matrix reinforcer. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Description / Table of Contents: The phase-structure of high impact polypropylene (HIPP) has been investigated using X-ray wide-angle and small-angle techniques. The results are compared with structural data obtained by measuring the correspondent homopolymers. The WAXS-curves show that the polyethylene and polypropylene building up the HIPP are built in separate crystals. The SAXS-curves make clear, that the PE- as well as PP-crystals stack together in separated superstructural regions. Theoretical calculations of the SAXS-curves employing the “stapel”-model yield structure parameters characterising the superstructures of both phases. The temperature dependence of the superstructure parameters of both phases shows clearly, that the crystals melt according to a model proposed by Kilian. A comparison of the superstructure data of the HIPP with those of the investigated homopolymers shows, that the phases of the HIPP are separated to an extent allowing both the PE and PP phase to crystallize undisturbed like in the homopolymer.
    Notes: Die Phasenstruktur einer schlagzähen Polypropylenprobe (HIPP) wird mit Hilfe von Röntgenweit-und Kleinwinkelstreuung untersucht. Die Ergebnisse werden mit Strukturdaten verglichen, die an parallel untersuchten Polyethylen-und Polypropylen-Homopolymeren erhalten werden. Die Röntgenweitwinkelstreukurven zeigen, daß das Polyethylen und Polypropylen im HIPP in getrennte Kristalle eingebaut wird. Aus den Röntgenkleinwinkelstreukurven wird deutlich, daß sich die PE-und PP-Kristalle in getrennten Überstrukturbereichen zusammenlagern. Berechnungen der Röntgenkleinwinkelstreukurven mit dem Stapelmodell ergeben Strukturparameter, mit denen die Üerstrukturen der beiden Komponenten charakterisiert werden können. Die Temperaturabhängigkeiten der Überstrukturparameter zeigen, daß die Kristalle sowohl in der PF-wie auch in der PP-Komponente größensekutiv entsprechend einem Modell von Kilian aufschmelzen. Der Vergleich der Überstrukturdaten des HIPP mit denen der Homopolymeren zeigt, daß die beiden Komponenten des HIPP so weitgehend entmischt sind, daß sie wie im Homopolymeren kristallisieren können. Bei gleicher Vorbehandlung der Proben entstehen daher sowohl im HIPP als auch in den Homopolymeren nahezu identische Überstrukturen.

    Notes: Blends of isotactic poly(propylene) (iPP) and trans-polyoctenylene (TOR), prepared from solution, exhibit unexpected mechanical properties at specific mass fractions of TOR: While generally the elastic modulus E decreases continuously with increasing TOR content, it surpasses a maximum for mass fractions of TOR around 0,10. The reason for this behaviour is investigated. It turns out that the crystallinity as well as the crystal morphology (which is investigated by evaluating small-angle X-ray scattering by interface distribution functions) does not explain the mechanical behaviour. The order of the lamellar stacks (number of orientation-correlated crystals) proves to be well correlated with the course of the elastic modulus. This order is a consequence of the increasing dispersion of TOR at mass fractions between 0,075 and 0,20 creating interfaces and infecting subsequently the crystallization conditions in the sample.

    Notes: The crystallization kinetics of thin films of isotactic poly(propylene) (iPP) and transpolyoctenylene rubber (TOR) was investigated by optical microscopy. Nucleation densities, Avrami exponents and spherulitic growth rates show specific dependencies on the concentration of TOR in the blend. From the results it is concluded, that at a mass fraction of TOR wTOR = 0,10 the TOR is more finely dispersed in the blend than for other compositions. Due to the subsequent formation of interfaces, the nucleation is found to be predominantly heterogeneous at wTOR = 0,10, while it is preferentially homogeneous at all other compositions.

    Description / Table of Contents: Aus der Röntgenkleinwinkelstreuung an Legierungen von isotaktischem Polystyrol (iPS) und Poly(2,6-dimethylphenylenoxid) (PPO) wurden Strukturparameter durch Berechnung von Grenzflächenverteilungsfunktionen bestimmt. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß eine Reihe von Parametern wie die mittlere Dicke von Lamellen und interlamellaren Abständen sowie die Langperiode trotz z. T. großer Unsicherheiten bei der Korrektur der experimentellen Streukurve mit großer Genauigkeit bestimmt werden können. Die aus Grenzflächenverteilungsfunktionen bestimmten Werte wurden mit Ergebnissen aus Modellstreukurvenberechnungen verglichen. Dabei stellte sich heraus, daß theoretische Berechnungen mit einem Modell, das zusätzlich zur kristallinen und amorphen Dichte die mittlere Dichte der Probe berücksichtigt, im wesentlichen dieselben Parameter liefern wie die aus den Grenzflächenverteilungsfunktionen bestimmten.
    Notes: Morphological parameters of isotactic polystyrene (iPS) · poly(2,6-dimethylphenylene oxide) (PPO) blends have been determined from measurements of the small angle X-ray scattering by calculating interface distribution functions. Applied to the compatible system iPS/PPO this method yields a number of reliable parameters such as the long period and mean thicknesses of crystal lamellae and interlamellar spacings. A comparison of the results obtained from the calculation of the interface distribution functions with those derived from model calculations show that theoretical calculations using the density model yield essentially the same results.

    Description / Table of Contents: The lateral thickness of the polypropylene core crystals in oriented polypropylene (PP)/poly-1-butene (PB-1), blends has been determined by an analysis of the x-ray wide angle scattering. The core crystal thickness decreases with decreasing polypropylene weight fraction from ca. 300 Å (weight average) or 400 Å (number average) to approximately 100 Å. Mixed crystals, where PP and PB-1 chains are solidified, cannot be found. The change of needle thickness with PP-concentration explains the melting point depression that had been measured on the same set of samples. The lattice distortions increase slightly with decreasing PP content. They appear concentrated primarily within a lateral boundary layer, whose thickness is only slightly depended on the core crystal thickness.
    Notes: Die laterale Dicke der Polypropylen-Nadelkristalle in orientierten Blends aus Poly-propylen (PP) und Poly-I-buten (PB-1) wurde durch eine Analyse der Röntgenweitwinkelstreuung bestimmt. Die Nadeldicke nimmt von ca. 300 Å (Gewichtsmittel) bzw. 400 Å (Zahlenmittel) mit abnehmendem Polypropylenanteil auf ca. 100 Å ab. Mischkristalle, in denen sowohl PP- als auch PB-1-Ketten kristallisieren, werden nicht gefunden. Die Änderung der Nadeldicken mit der PP-Konzentration erklärt die an den gleichen Proben gemessene Schmelzpunktsdepression. Die Gitterstörungen nehmen mit abnehmendem PP-Anteil leicht zu. Sie sind im wesentlichen innerhalb einer lateralen Grenzschicht, deren Dicke nur wenig von der Nadeldicke abhängt, konzentriert.
