    Notes: Abstract During the last two and a half years 60 patients with orbital space occupying neoplasms were treated surgically at the Department of Maxillo-facial Surgery of the University Clinic of Essen. With modern imaging techniques exact information on the location and extent of space occupation was available before the operation. Therefore the surgical approach could be optimized. Despite the various and sometimes inaccessible tumor locations, transcranial operation was only necessary in six patients. In the remaining 54 patients anterior orbitotomy allowed either a definitive tumor therapy or histological verification of the diagnosis.

    Notes: Summary One hundred patients with CT-proven intracranial disease have been studied by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before and after intravenous injection with Gadolinium-DTPA (Gd-DTPA), in order to assess the role and clinical efficacy of Gd-DTPA. T2-weighted spin echo sequences, although sensitive to the detection of intracranial disease, in general fail to differentiate macroscopic tumour from oedema. Following Gd-DTPA, T1-weighted spin echo sequences in primary tumours demonstrated a variable degree of contrast enhancement unrelated to histological type. Small tumours, especially acoustic neuromas and meningiomas in the posterior fossa, were rendered more conspicuous. Optimum time for scanning was between five and 25 min following injection for all lesions except those adjacent to normal enhancing structures such as nasal/sinus mucosa and pituitary gland when delayed scans up to 45 min were necessary. No differences were observed between the 0.1 and 0.2 mmol/kg Gd-DTPA concentrations used and no complications attributable to Gd-DTPA were detected. Clinical advantages of Gd-DTPA include shorter scan times, macroscopic tumour/oedema separation and improved detection of certain tumours, particularly acoustic neuromas.

    Notes: Summary Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of 20 patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis (MS) are presented. The studies were performed on a 0.5 Tesla magnet using spin-echo technique. Analysis of the MRI findings included detailed linear measurements of the ventricular and the subarachnoid spaces and reading of the intensity of the grey and white matter and intensity of the MS plaques. The plaques were sorted according to their number and size. The younger patients (20–40 years) had overall more plaques than the older ones (over 40 years). The small plaques were the most numerous and the large ones were the least common. Statistically significant association was found between the number of plaques and the cella media width. The intensity ratios between the nonplaque white matter/grey matter showed a significant correlation with the ventricular score. A significant negative correlation was found between the antero-posterior diameter of the spinal cord and the number of MS plaques in the brain. The plaque/white matter ratio had a significantly negative correlation with the cervical cord's width.

    Notes: Summary Four patients with dural arteriovenous malformation (AVMs) draining into the cavernous sinus, who presented ophthalmic manifestations, were studied by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In all patients signal decrease in the involved cavernous sinus was demonstrated in coronal spinecho (SE) imaging. It is attributable to rapid venous flow in the sinus, and this “high velocity signal loss” is a fairly pathognomonic finding in this condition. We stress the validity of MR imaging in the primary diagnosis of dural AVMs with ophthalmic symptoms.

    Notes: Summary In six young patients presenting with raised intracranial pressure during the period of a year, CT revealed the presence of hydrocephalus, but not the cause. Magnetic Resonance Imaging not only shwed the site and nature of the obstructing lesion, but also detected additional clinically silent spinal cord tumors in five of the patients. The place of MRI in the diagnosis of diseases involving the region of the cranio-cervical junction and in the elucidation of “unexplained hydrocephalus” is considered.

    Notes: Summary A case of thoracic myelopathy due to ossification of the ligamentum flavum is presented. A fifty-five year old female complained of sensory and motor disturbance of lower limbs. Neuroradiologically, in addition to ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament throughout the spines, ossified ligamenta flava were found at the Th10–11 level and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) clearly showed the spinal cord compressed at the same level by a low-intensity-signal lesion. Laminectomy and removal of the ossfied ligamenta flava improved her neurological dysfunction. The usefulness of the MRI in the neuroradiological diagnosis was confirmed.

    Notes: Summary Among 110 patients (45 men, 65 women), aged 15 to 66, with clinical and/or biological diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), severe to moderate corpus callosum (CC) atrophy was observed in 67 (60%) patients. Correlation between CC atrophy, brain atrophy, duration and severity of clinical symptoms, and high signal white matter areas, was carried out in 90 patients. Mean age was 46 years for those with severe CC atrophy, and 33 years for those without atrophy. Mean duration of the disease was 14 years in patients with severe atrophy, and 5 years in patients without atrophy. Severity of clinical symptoms is more pronounced in patients with severe CC atrophy. Numerous or large white matter high signal areas are observed in patients with severe CC atrophy on T2-weighted images. CC atrophy appears earlier than brain atrophy in the course of MS.

    Notes: Summary Hypothalamic hamartoma is the most common detectable cerebral lesion causing precocious puberty. Two histologically confirmed cases were studied by computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. T2 weighted, sagittal MR images were superior to CT in delineating the tumor from surrounding grey matter. The lesion was isointense to grey matter on T1 weighted images allowing exclusion of other hypothalamic tumors. MR will undoubtedly become the imaging modality of choice in the detection of hypothalamic hamartoma.

    Notes: Summary A 25-year-old woman presented with a four-year history of progressive right-lower-extremity weakness and atrophy and a left hemisensory deficit was found. Metrizamide-enhanced spinal CT scan showed an intramedullary lesion at the level of T1-T2; this had expanded the cord in fusiform fashion but showed no evidence of a cystic component. Surgical resection was performed and the pathological diagnosis was cavernous hemangioma. Two and one-half years later, her left hemisensory deficit was worsening and a spinal MRI showed high signal intensity mass in the region of the previous surgery consistent with chronic hematoma which was re-evacuated with some improvement in the patient's neurological condition.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary Magnetic resonance (MR) images of 29 consecutive patients with intraspinal neoplasms (9 intramedullary tumors, 20 extramedullary tumors) were reviewed to evaluated the utility of MR imaging in distinguishing the intraspinal compartmental localisation and signal characteristics of each lesion. Compartment and histology of all neoplasms were surgically proven. MR correctly assigned one of three compartments to all lesions, 9 intramedullary, 14 intradural extramedullary (6 schwannomas, 3 neurofibromas, 5 meningiomas), and 6 extradural (3 schwannomas, 1 meningioma, 1 cavernous hemangioma, 1 metastatic renal cell carcinoma). All intramedullary tumors showed swelling of the spinal cord itself. In all five extradural tumors a low intensity band was visualized between the spinal cord and tumor. On the other hand, a low intensity band was demonstrated in no cases with intradural tumors. Visualization of this low intensity band is important in differentiating extradural from intradural-extramedullary lesions. We call this low intensity band, “the extradural sign”. Signal intensity of intradural tumors varied with histology. In extramedullary tumors, signal intensity of schwannomas was similar to that of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) both on T1 weighted (inversion recovery) and T2 weighted spin echo (SE) images. On the other hand, meningiomas tended to be isointense to the spinal cord on both T1 and T2 weighted SE images. We found relatively reliable signal characteristics to discriminate meningioma from schwannoma.

    Notes: Summary Magnetic resonance scans of 74 patients with multiple sclerosis participating in a controlled trial were compared 6 months before and at the end of a 24–32 months-treatment period with either Cyclosporin A (n=31) or Azathioprine (n=43). Both qualitative rating and computation of lesion volume showed deterioration in more than 40% of the patients, while by clinical criteria only 10–30% were worse. No significant difference was noted when the two treatment groups were compared. If careful repositioning and standardized image parameters are used, MRI is an indispensable tool for the objective determination of disease progression in MS although it cannot replace clinical examination.

    Notes: Summary Twelve patients with different diseases of the brain were examined with sodium and proton MRI at 1.5 Tesla and the results of both studies compared. Due to the 1500-fold lower concentration in the body, the decreased sensitivity and the shorter relaxation times of sodium compared with hydrogen a sequence with gradient reversal and a volume imaging method was applied to achieve a short echo time (4.5 ms). As a result of the mainly extracellular distribution of sodium the CSF spaces are depicted by their high signal intensity while the normal parenchyma is not visible. Changes induced by encephalitis, ischemic infarction and tumors can also be detected by their increased sodium content. Different tumors provided different signal intensities, not always permitting a distinction between tumor, surrounding edema and CSF. The diagnostic impact of these findings is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Results of MRI at 0.15T in twelve successive patients with intracerebral haematoma are reviewed. Using T2 weighted spin echo (SE) and partial saturation (PS without a refocussing 180° pulse) sequences, low intensity areas were seen in eleven of the twelve cases. These included central regions (three cases), a peripheral rim (seven cases) and more diffuse patterns involving the brainstem and cerebral hemispheres (two cases). One case initially displayed a peripheral rim and later a central low intensity region. Central low intensity regions were seen in acute, subacute, and chronic cases. Follow up in five cases displayed an increase in signal within the haematoma in three cases and a decrease in signal intensity in two cases. Low signal intensity areas can be seen within and around intracerebral haematomas imaged with T2 weighted sequences at low field strength.

    Notes: Summary Magnetic resonance imaging of the intracranial CSF volume was compared before and after 5 weeks of confirmed abstinence in 9 alcohol-dependent patients. All patients showed a highly significant reduction in CSF volume in accordance with reexpansion of the brain after alcohol abstinence. T2 values for white matter, estimated by linear regression from 16 echoes of a CPGM sequence, however, showed no significant increase such as occurs in rehydration. This indicates, that alcohol-induced reversible brain atrophy cannot be attributed to fluctuation of free water in the brain only.

    Notes: Abstract Acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) occurs in adult patients undergoing long-term dialysis. Early detection is important because clinically significant hematuria and malignancies are associated with ACKD. We evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (US) the incidence of ACKD in 15 patients aged 7.3–21.6 years (mean 15.9 years) with non-cystic primary renal disease. Nine patients had been treated with peritoneal dialysis only, and 6 with both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis for 24–73 months (mean 37 months). Three patients (20%) had no cysts. In 5 patients (33%) with bilateral multiple cysts, the diagnosis of ACKD was made by MRI and US. In another 5 patients, solitary cysts were localized to one kidney by MRI, and in 2 patients solitary cysts were seen in both kidneys. This study documents that ACKD is not limited to older patients with end-stage renal disease. Early detection of these cysts can be accomplished by MRI and is warranted since 1 patient developed neoplastic tubular changes which can precede tumor formation.

The tumors were identified by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The incidence of synchronous multicentric aggressive fibromatosis is not known. It is anticipated that increased use of coronal MR imaging will reveal more tumors of this type, both synchronous and metachronous. In a patient with known or suspected aggressive fibromatosis, every other soft tissue nodule or mass in the same limb has to be regarded as an additional tumor of the same histology.

    Notes: Abstract Diagnosis of chondromalacia of the patellofemoral joint using three-dimensional gradient-echo sequences was investigated in 41 patients, with arthroscopic verification in 25 patients. In vitro examinations in human caderveric patellae were performed in order to determine optimal imaging parameters. FLASH (TR=40 ms, TE=10 ms, flip angle=30°) and FISP (TR=40 ms, TE=10 ms, flip angle=40°) were used in clinical studies. Advanced stages of chrondromalacia could be visualized with high sensitivity. The therapeutically relevant differentiation of major and minor degrees of chondromalacia seems to be possible. 30° FLASH-images in the axial plane proved to be the most efficacious technique for the diagnosis of chondromalacia.

    Notes: Abstract In a neonate with tuberous sclerosis, cardiac tumours were diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography and evaluated by electrocardiogram-gated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The tumour size, shape and mobility in the ventricular cavities were more precisely determined by two-dimensional echocardiography than electrocardiogramgated MRI, while the extent of tumour mass at the apex was more clearly delineated by MRI. As two-dimensional echocardiography provides real-time imaging of cardiac anatomy without sedation, it is useful for initial evaluation of cardiac masses in neonates with genetic predisposition to tuberous sclerosis.

    Notes: Summary Progressive decline of anterograde memory functions has been increasingly recognized as a frequent symptom in chronic multiple sclerosis. In order to investigate the brain structures involved, magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 20 patients. Neuropsychological assessment included the WAIS and WMS subtests information, picture completion, similarities, digit span, logical memory, and paired associate learning. All patients with severely impaired memory functions (n=5) showed bilateral lesions in the medial temporal lobe, whereas in those patients with moderate (n=10) or no measurable impairment of memory testing (n=5) either no lesions were seen in the medial temporal lobes or these lesions were restricted to one side. A post hoc cluster analysis strikingly confirmed these results. The differences could not be related to the age of the patients, the disease duration, or the level of education. Extensive lesions in the white matter of the frontal lobes, thinning and lining of the corpus callosum, and bilateral involvement of the anterior cingulate gyrus had no bearing on the neuropsychological results. These findings indicate that bilateral demyelination in the hippocampal regions is the most likely explanation for the impairment of anterograde memory in such patients.

    Notes: Abstract Chronic patellar tendinitis can be a frustrating diagnostic and therapeutic problem. This report evaluates seven tendons in five patients with chronic patellar tendinitis. The etiologies included “jumper's knee” and Osgood-Schlatter disease. In all cases magnetic resonance images (MRI) showed thickening of the tendon. Some of the tendons had focal areas of thickening which helped establish the etiology. All cases had intratendinous areas of increased signal which, in four cases, proved to be chronic tendon tears. MRI is useful in evaluating chronic patellar tendinitis because it establishes the diagnosis, detects associated chronic tears, and may help determine appropriate rehabilitation.

    Notes: Abstract From 1984 to 1987 magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed on 100 patients suffering acute spinal trauma. MR demonstrated one or more injuries to the cervicothoracic region in 31 patients. It displayed a spectrum of spinal cord injury ranging from mild compression and swelling to complete transection. MR was also useful in evaluating alignment at the cervicothoracic junction, in depicting ligamentous injury, in establishing the presence of disc herniation, and in identifying unsuspected levels of injury. We present a diagnostic algorithm that incorporates the role of MR in evaluating acute cervicothoracic spinal trauma and emphasizes the replacement of myelography by MR in the initial assessment of neurologic deficit.

    Notes: Summary A 29-year-old chemistry student took 50 ml of a 1% potassium cyanide solution (500 mg) in an attempted suicide. He became comatose, mydriatic, and was admitted to hospital in an apneic state. He woke up after 7 h and developed Parkinsonism in the following weeks. This regressed slowly during the 2 months after the poisoning apart from dysarthria, bradykinesia of the upper limbs, and very brisk monosynaptic reflexes. At 3 weeks after the intoxication, computerized tomography was largely normal, and there was CSF-dense hypodensity in both putamina after 5 months. Sharply delimited signal elevation in T2 corresponding to the two putamina was detected by magnetic resonance imaging 8 weeks and 5 months after ingestion of the poison.

    Notes: Summary Development of severe ataxia and mild pyramidal signs without mental deterioration, tetraparesis or pseudobulbar palsy during recovery from withdrawal delirium and initial hyponatraemia are unusual clinical features consistent with central pontine myelinolysis. This diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in an alcoholic man. Clinical and electrodiagnostic improvement occurred, whereas the MRI findings remained unchanged in a follow-up study.

    Notes: Summary Two patients are reported with Mycoplasma pneumoniae-related cervical myelitis. Magnetic resonance imaging in each case demonstrated clinically silent lesions suggesting more extensive neurological involvement. This supports the concept of widespread immunologically mediated disease occurring as a remote effect of initial M. pneumoniae respiratory infection. Differences from the MRI appearances of a patient with mycoplasma-related Guillian-Barré syndrome imply that more than one antigenic determinant is involved.

    Notes: Summary There is still a need to prove that even static magnetic fields up to 1.5 T used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are biologically safe and harmless for humans. Recordings of median and ulnar nerves and brain-stem auditory evoked potentials in 20 patients were completed prior to and after MRI investigation of the central nervous system. Neither the somatosensory nor the auditory evoked potentials exhibited any significant change of latencies, interpeak latencies or amplitudes. Since these electrophysiological parameters are highly dependent on the quality of nerve conduction and integrity of information processing in various nuclei, it may be assumed that MRI causes no lasting changes in either respect.

    Notes: Summary The efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of diseases of the central nervous system is reviewed. MRI, computed tomography (CT) and certain radionuclide studies are compared in the evaluation of intracranial tumours, cerebral vascular disease, multiple sclerosis and other white matter diseases, dementia, head injury, infection, epilepsy, spinal lesions and in paediatric central nervous system disorders. The measurement of cerebrospinal fluid volumes and dynamics by MRI is discussed. MRI most clearly has advantages where CT is degraded by bone hardening and streak artefacts (spine, skull base, posterior and temporal fossa, sella and parasellar regions) and in diseases in which the X-ray attenuation of the suspected lesion differs little from normal parenchyma (paediatric brain disorders, demyelination and dysmyelination, early oedema associated with infarction, infection or low-grade infiltrating neoplasm, subacute and chronic haemorrhage and lesions in the spinal subarachnoid space and cord). Elsewhere MRI and CT should be seen as complementary rather than competitive methods of imaging. In spite of an absence of information about the contribution of MRI to management decisions and a lack of rigorous, prospective controlled trials, MRI will play an increasing role in the diagnosis of diseases of the central nervous system.

    Notes: Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies were obtained in 49 cases of various diseases in the maxillo-facial region and the results compared with X-ray computed tomography (CT). Bot MRI and CT scans were performed in 44 cases. In 31 cases (70%), MRI provided similar or superior information to that of CT in the evaluation of various diseases. In 10 cases, MRI was superior to CT in defining the images of diseases, 7 cases of these were carcinomas. CT was superior to MRI in 5 cases, especially in demonstrating calcifications and bony changes. Artifacts caused by prosthetic metals and patient motion disturbed MR images. Our experience with MRI lead us the conclusion that it holds great potential and that it already had some advantages over CT in the maxillo-facial region.

    Notes: Abstract Gradient-field-echo technique was employed to evaluate the movement of the temporomandibular joint meniscus and the related structures combined with the opening of the mouth for asymptomatic TM joints in the use of a 0.5 T super-conductive MR system. The examination for the mouth opening phase took less than one minute. The movement of the meniscus was clearly presented especially by using a cine-mode display. The signal intensity in the retro-meniscus and the lateral pterygoid muscle was increased by the opening. These findings indicate that the MR dynamic imaging may be promising in diagnosing not only the shape of the meniscus but also the function of the TM joint.

    Notes: Abstract NMR imaging is a noninvasive technique that has been shown to provide high-quality images of the heart. Due to the signal characteristics of flowing blood, inherent contrast between blood pool and myocardium is achieved without the use of contrast media. This paper briefly describes technical aspects of NMR imaging of the heart, normal cardiovascular anatomy, applications of the technique in patients with ischemic heart disease, and the potential of NMR imaging for functional studies in various forms of heart disease.

    Notes: The effects of the nature of the polyols used in polyurethane (PUR) synthesis on the structural transformations after ageing by UV irradiation has been studied. The investigations were performed on PUR prepared from polyester and polyether diol oligomers.The characterization of the samples before and after ageing in view of the structural changes, which influence the course of the photooxidative degradation and photocrosslinking as well as in view of changes of mechanical properties has been done. Comparative investigations were performed by spectroscopic and viscometric measurements.The results show pronounced heterogeneity of the degradative reactions, including the existence of crosslinking processes and producing thus very inhomogeneous polymeric material. The course and the intensity of photooxidative degradation of PUR differ together with changes of mechanical properties depending whether polyester or polyether polyol have been used. The processes of photooxidative degradation is less expressed in polyesterurethane then in polyurethane based on polyether, under the same conditions of experiments. Different structures of polyester diols caused the various ageing behaviour of PUR too.

    Notes: QUALIFICATION OF HALS COMPOUNDSA complex method of examination has been developed suitable for the qualification of light stabilizers; by this method, according to experience, the efficacy of HALS compounds can be extensively and expediently characterized.Several light stabilizers of the HALS-type were examined and qualified, used alone or together with a UV-absorber.It has been found that, when selecting the appropriate structure for a given polymer, the weatherability of polyolefine foils is effectively increase to six-eightfold; the increase is even tenfold when the stabilizer is combined with a benzophenone-type compound.As a utilization of these experiences, a contract with the industry, led to the production of an LDPE based agricultural foil with a life-time of several years.

    Notes: Natural hail impact tests are scarcely available because hailstorms are limited to a small area and cannot be predicted regarding time, place and intensity. Therefore we relied on laboratory tests simulating natural hailstones by polyamide balls (5-50 mm dia.) whose final velocity could be varied according to meteorological data. So the influence of diameter (weight) and velocity of the artificial hailstones could be taken into consideration independently.The energy of damage or equivalent natural hailstone diameter were determined for 16 mm double skin sheet from PMMA as 0.2 J (14 mm dia.) for star shaped cracks and 2 J (26 mm dia.) for holes. These values do not significantly decrease after 10 years weathering. 10 mm double skin sheets from PC show an extremly high energy of damage of abt. 10 J (38 mm dia.) which decreases to a medium level of 2 J (26 mm dia.) after several years weathering. This decrease is remarkably reduced by weather resistant protective coating.As hailstorms consist to more than 80% of hailstones below 10 mm dia. (0.04 J) the mentioned sheet materials are quite hail resistant also after long weathering periods, but they cannot withstand an extreme hail catastrophe as in Munich July 12, 1984.

Dabei zeigt sich, daß aus Messunqen mit der ILDTA bereits vor Einsetzen der autokatalytischen Zersetzunq sreaktion Ruckschlüsse auf die thermische Vorqeschichte der Proben und Aussagen auf das rnit einem Abfall der mechanischen Eigenschaften verbundene Ende der thermo-oxidativen Stabilität des Polymeren getroffen werden können.Weiters bietet die ILDTA die Moglichkeit, durch den direkten Zusamenhang zwischen Oxidationszeit und Antioxidansögehalt die örtliche Stabilisatorverteilung in Platten und in Folien zu bestimmen und damit Diffusionsvorqange zu verfolgen.
    Notes: Thermo-oxidative ageing processes were investigated in films (100 μm thick) made from isotactic polypropylene with different antioxidant concentrations between 0% and 0.1% using isothermal long-term differential thermal analysis (ILDTA). The end of the oven life of polypropylene coincided with the loss of mechanical properties which was confirmed by tensile tests at temperatures far below the crystallite melting range. Already prior to the beginning of autocatalytic decomposition, ILDTA experiments permits conclusions to be drawn on the thermal history of the specimens and statements made regarding the end of thermo-oxidative stability of the polymer, which is accompanied by a deterioration in the mechanical properties.In consequence of the correlation between oxidation time and antioxidant concentration the local antioxidant concentration in sheets or films can be measured by ILDTA. Thus, investigating the diffusion of an antioxidant in polypropylene using ILDTA is possible.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Größenverteilungsfunktion von Dispersionen mit extrem breiter Verteilung (Durchmesserbereich 20 〈 D 〈 2000 nm) kann in der analytischen Ultrazentrifuge (AUC) nicht durch eine Standardmethode, z. B. durch Messung der Trübung τ bei einer einzigen Konzentration, bestimmt werden, weil sich die spezifische Trübung τ/c von sehr kleinen und sehr großen Teilchen zu stark unterscheidet. Um dieses Problem zu lösen, haben wir eine neue AUC-Technik, die sogenannte Coupling-PSD-Technik entwickelt. Dabei werden zwei unterschiedliche Konzentrationen derselben Dispersion gleichzeitig in einem einzigen AUC-Lauf vermessen und zwei korrespondierende Lichtintensitiit-Zeit-Kurven aufgezeichnet. Bei einer niedrigen Standardkonzentration cs werden hauptsachlich die größeren Teilchen erfaßt während bei einer 5 bis 30 mal heheren Konzentration ch vor allem die kleineren Teilchen registriert werden. Die beiden I(t)-Kurven werden mathematisch verkniipft und unter Verwendung des Stokeschen Gesetzes und der Streutheorie von Mie für homogene isotrope Kugeln in die gesuchte breite Verteilungsfunktion umgerechnet. Wir benutzen eine mit einem 8-Zellen-Rotor und einem Multiplexer ausgestattete AUC. Da sehr groBe und sehr kleine Teilchen gleichzeitig in einem einzigen Zentrifugenlauf bestimmt werden, kennen wir nicht mehr wie zuvor eine konstante Rotorgeschwindigkeit N anwenden, sondern miissen diese mit Hilfe eines Geschwindigkeitsprogramms N(t) innerhalb einer Stunde von 0 auf 40000 U/min erhehen.
    Notes: The particle size distribution (PSD) of extremely broad distributed dispersions (diameter range 20 〈 D 〈 2000 nm) is not possible to be measured by analytical ultracentrifuge (AUC) using the standard technique, i.e. measuring turbidity τ at a single concentration c, because the specific turbidity τ/c varies too much between very small and very large particles. To solve this problem we have developed a new AUC technique, the so-called Coupling-PSD-Technique. Here two different concentrations of the same dispersion are measured simultaneously by one single AUC run with two corresponding curves of light intensity I vs. time t being registered. At a low standard concentration cs, mainly the larger particles are detected, while at a concentration ch 5 to 30 times higher mainly the smaller particles are registered. Both I(t)-curves are coupled mathematically and transformed into the requested broad distribution curve employing Stokes' law and Mie's light scattering theory for homogeneous isotropic spheres.We use an AUC together with an 8-cells-rotor and a multiplexer. Because very large and very small particles are to be measured simultaneously in one single run, we can no more apply a constant rotor speed N as before, but by means of a time program N(t) we always have to increase the rotor speed from 0 to 40000 rpm within one hour.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die chemische Modifizierung von Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) durch ein Amin verleiht dem Polymeren höhere Reaktivität gegenüber der Pfropfcopolymerisation mit einem Vinylmonomeren. Die Pfropfcopolymerisation von Methylmethacrylat auf mit n-Butylamin modifiziertes PVC wurde thermisch mit Benzoylperoxid (Bz2O2) als Initiator oder photoaktiviert mit Benzophenon (BP) als Photosensibilisator gestartet. Das aus bestimmten Experimenten erhaltene rohe Polymerprodukt wurde durch fraktionierte Fällung in die verschiedenen Bestandteile wie Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA, Homopolymeres), PVC-g-PMMA (Pfropfcopolymeres) und unverändertes (aminiertes) PVC aufgespalten. Die getrennten Fraktionen wurden mit Hilfe der IR-Spektroskopie und der Thermogravimetrie charakterisiert. Der Mechanismus der Pfropfcopolymerisation von den beiden verschiedenen Systemen wurde erörtert. In beiden Fällen wurden Pfropfausbeuten um 30 - 70%* und Pfropfcopolymerzusammensetzungen, PMMA/PVC (w/w) zwischen 2 und 3 erhalten.
    Notes: Chemical modification of poly(vinyl chloride), PVC, by an amine renders the polymer more reactive towards graft copolymerization with a vinyl monomer. The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) on PVC modified by treatment with n-butylamine (n-BA) was started thermally at 30° using benzoyl peroxide (Bz2O2) as initiator and under photoactivation at 40° using benzophenone (BP) as photo sensitizer. The gross polymer products from selected experiments were fractionally separated into the constituent polymeric entities viz., poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA (homopolymer), PVC-g-PMMA (graft copolymer), and unreacted (aminated) PVC following a method of fractional precipitation. The separated fractions were characterized by IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. The mechanisms of graft copolymerization for the two different systems have been discussed. In each case, grafting efficiencies of the order of 30-70% and graft copolymers having compositions given as PMMA/PVC (w/w) equal to 2-3 were readily obtained.

The effect of gamma-ray irradiation on the SPPO/PS thin film composite membranes was also evaluated when the membrane samples were in the wet and dry conditions. The composite membranes were also subjected to a chemical treatment combined with gamma-ray irradiation in both wet and dry conditions in the hope of obtaining the maximum possible enhancement under each treatment. However, the experimental data of this combined treatment indicated the possibility of some degradation of the SPPO/PS composite membranes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Verwendung von Phenol-Formaldehyd-Harz mit gepreßten Olivenkenen im Gewichtsverháltnis 20/80 wurden kleine zylindrische Formkörper durch Härtung hergestellt. Diese wurden pyrolysiert und einige Proben mit Wasserdampf aktiviert. Für diese Formkörper und für zwei kommerzielle Aktivkohlen für Laboratoriumsbzw. Industrie-Anwendungen wurden folgende Eigenschaften bestimmt: die spezifische Oberfláche, die Struktur, die Adsorptionseigenschaften sowie die Adsorptionskapazität. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die hergestellten kohlenstoffhaltigen Materialien durch Aktivierung höhere Werte für die untersuchten Eigenschaften ergeben als die nur pyrolysierten Proben und die zwei kommerziellen Aktivkohlen. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Adsorption des 4-Nitrophenols für alle untersuchten kohlenstoffhaltigen Materialien gemäß der Freundlich-Gleichung stattfindet. Die Raster-Elektronenmikroskopie zeigt, daß die hergestellten kohlenstoffhaltigen Materialien andere Porenarten aufweisen als die kommerziellen Aktivkohlen. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse werden durch die molekularen Dimensionen der zur Adsorption verwendeten Substanzen und den Polarisationseffekt der Substituenten am Benzolring erklärt.
    Notes: Mixtures of phenol-formaldehyde-resin and pressed olive stones in a weight ratio of 20/80 were cured as small cylinders and then pyrolyzed. Some samples were also activated by steam. For these specimens and for two commercial activated carbons of laboratory or industrial uses the specific surface area, the structure, the adsorption properties, and the adsorption capacity were determined. The results indicate that the carbonaceous material produced by activation has greater values for the examined properties in comparison to the only pyrolyzed and the two commercial activated carbons, respectively. It was found that the Freundlich-equation is valid for the adsorption of 4-nitrophenol on all carbonaceous materials examined. The produced carbonaceous materials have different kinds of pores than the commercial activated carbons. The experimental results are explained with regard to the molecular dimensions of the adsorptive substances and the polarization effect of the substituents of the benzene ring.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Anwendung der nichtlinearen Programmiermethode basierend auf der mittleren harmonischen Näherung wurden aus den Kontaktwinkeldaten die freie Dispersions- und polare, freie Oberflächenenergie, γSVd und γSVp, sowie die kritische, freie Oberflächenenergie, γc, von Polymeren bestimmt. Die Komponenten der freien Oberflächenergie der zu untersuchenden Flüssigkeiten, γLVd und γLVp, die die Bedingungen für den maximalen Wechselwirkungsparameter, Φ, wiedergeben, wurden ebenfalls mit Hilfe dieser Methode bestimmt.
    Notes: The dispersion and polar surface free energy components, γSVd and γSVp, and the critical surface free energy, γc, of polymers were determined from contact angle data by the application of a nonlinear programming method using harmonic mean approximation.The surface free energy components of the probe liquids, γLVd and γLVp, which reflect the conditions of the maximized interaction parameter, Φ, were also simultaneously determined by this method.

    Description / Table of Contents: The condensation reaction of bisphenol A, melamine, and formaldehyde was investigated by gel permeation chromatography, 13C-NMR-spectroscopy, IR-spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Because of the high reaction rates the condensation could be investigated only in the range of pH 6-10. At pH 6 and 7 the reaction of melamine with formaldehyde is dominating.With increasing pH-value the condensation of bisphenol A with formaldehyde is observed preferably. At pH 10 the condensation results in high molecular products. Cocondensation of melamine and bisphenol A through methylene bridges does not take place. But as a separation of the bisphenol A-formaldehyde condensates from the other condensation products was not possible, the three components may be connected through methylene-ether groups and/or intermolecular hydrogen bridges.
    Notes: Die gemeinsame Kondensation von Bisphenol A, Melamin und Formaldehyd wurde mit Hilfe der Gelpermeationschromatographie, der 13C-NMR-Spektroskopie, IR-Spektroskopie und Elementaranalyse untersucht. Wegen der hohen Kondensationsgeschwindigkeit verläuft die Reaktion in Gegenwart der drei Komponenten nur im Bereich von pH 6-10 kontrollierbar. Bei pH 6 und 7 überwigt die Kondensation zwischen Melamin und Formaldehyd. Mit steigendem pH-Wert tritt die Reaktion von Bisphenol A mit Formaldehyd in den Vordergrund und führt bei pH 10 zu hochmolekularen Kondensationsprodukten.Auf direkte Cokondensation hinweisende Methylenverknüpfungen zwischen der phenolischen Komponente und Melamin konnten nicht nachgewiesen werden. Die Kondensationsprodukte des Melamins bzw. des Bisphenol A mit Formaldehyd lassen sich aber nicht mehr vollständig aus den Reaktionsgemischen der Vorkondensation abtrennen, was dafür spricht, daß die Komponenten über Methylenetherbrücken und/oder intermolekularen Wasserstoffbrücken miteinander verknüpft sind.

    Notes: Cyclodextrin membrane-modified electrodes as sensor materials have been prepared by dipping platinum electrodes in the water suspensions of an oriented cyclodextrin polymer, followed by drying the polymer layers on the electrodes. The polymer is obtained by the solid-liquid reaction between the crystal of cyclodextrin inclusion complex and hexamethylene diisocyanate in anisole. The thickness (2 - 80 μm) of the cyclodextrin membrane is satisfactorily controlled by changing the concentration of the water suspension of the polymer. The cyclodextrin membranemodified electrodes show a significant response to p-nitrophenolate in water which is highly in contrast with no measurable response to o- and m-nitrophenolates.

    Description / Table of Contents: Im Zusammenhang mit dem Studium des Wirkungsmechanismus von industriell hergestellten Antidegradantien vom Typus der N-Phenyl-N′-sek-alkyl-1,Cphenylendiamine wurde die Reaktion von N-Phenyl-1,4-benzochinonimin (I) und 4-Hydroxydiphenylamin (II) mit dem Kohlenstoff-Radikal 1-Cyano-l-methylethyl (R·) studiert. Das Gemisch von I und II reagiert mit R· sehr leicht unter Bildung der Verbindungen III, VI und VIII. I allein reagiert wesentlich langsamer, und das Reaktionsgemisch enthält mehrere Produkte. Neben der Verbindung III wurden auch die Verbindungen IV und VII identifiziert. II allein reagiert bei denselben Bedingungen nicht. Die Verbindung IV bildet die zwei isomeren Strukturen syn und anti. Die Verbindung VIII ist ziemlich unbeständig; aus ihren Umwandlungsprodukten wurde XI isoliert. Bei der Reduktion von IV entsteht die Verbindung V, die ähnlich wie VIII unbeständig ist.
    Notes: The reaction of N-phenyl-1,4-benzoquinoneimine (I)Decoding of abbreviations see p. 103/104. and 4-hydroxydiphenylamine (II) with the carbon centred 1-cyano-1-methylethyl radical (R·) was studied in connection with an investigation of the action mechanism of industrial antidegradants, such as N-phenyl-N′-sec-alkyl-1,4-phenylenediamines. The mixture of I and II reacts very readily with R·, giving rise to III, VI, and VIII. I alone reacts much slowlier, and the reaction mixture contains more products. IV and VII were identified along with III. Under the conditions used, II alone does not react at all. IV exists in two isomeric forms, syn and anti. VIII is very labile; XI was isolated from its transformation products. Reduction of IV gives V, which is labile, similarly to VIII.

    Description / Table of Contents: Samples of polyoxymethylene (unstabilized and stabilized with the antiozonants N-isopropyl-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamin (IPPD) and bis-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydrobenzaldehyd)pentaerithritylacetal (Vulkazon AFS)) were ozonized under mechanical load in a special climate chamber. Surface damages were determined by IR-spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. During the ozonolysis a damaged layer is formed, the thickness of which increases with increasing time of ozonization. During this damaging reaction acetal groups are attacked and oligomers are formed.
    Notes: Proben von unstabilisiertem und mit den Antiozonantien N-Isopropyl-N′-phenyl-p-phenylendiamin (IPPD) und Bis-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydrobenzaldehyd)-pentaerithrityl-acetal (Vulkazon AFS) stabilisiertem Polyoxymethylen wurden unter mechanischer Belastung in einer Klimakammer ozonisiert. Die Schädigungen auf der Oberfläche wurden IR-spektroskopisch und rasterelektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Während der Ozonisierung von POM bildet sich eine geschädigte Schicht, deren Dicke mit zunehmender Ozonisierungszeit wächst. Hierbei wird das Polymere an den Acetalbindungen angegriffen, wodurch Ketten gespalten werden und Oligomere entstehen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Mit Hilfe verschiedener Methoden wurde der Einfluß der Entfernung unterschiedlicher porenbildender Verdünner aus porösen Styrol-Ethylstyrol-Acrylnitril-Divinylbenzol-Copolymeren auf die Netzwerkstruktur untersucht. Der günstigste Weg, den ursprünglichen strukturellen Bau des porösen Netzwerkes zu bewahren, welches in Gegenwart von solvatisierenden Verdünnern erhalten wurde, ist das Entfernen des inerten Mediums mit Methanol. Wenn die Wasserdampfmethode angewendet wird, fin det der sog. Kollapseffekt statt, und die aus solchen Harzen hergestellten Anionenaustauscher adsorbieren weniger Farbstoff im Vergleich zu jenen, die aus Perlen hergestellt worden sind, die mit Methanol behandelt wurden; Grund hierfür ist die durch den Kollaps veränderte Porengröße. Es wurde ebenfalls festgestellt, daß die in Anwesenheit von solvatisierenden Verdünnern (Mischungen aus Quellungs- und Fällmitteln) hergestellten Copolymeren in Methanol sehr gut quellen, obwohl dieses ein Fällungsmittel für Polystyrol ist.
    Notes: The influence of the removal of various diluents, pore forming agents from the porous styrene-ethylstyrene-acrylonitrile-divinylbenzene copolymers on the structure of the matrix was investigated by several methods. The most advantageous pathway to preserve the initial structural edifice of the porous networks performed in the presence of solvating diluents consisted in the removal of the inert media with methanol as it was noticed from the experimental data. If the steam treatment is applied, the collapse effect takes place and the anion exchangers prepared from such matrices exchange/adsorb less dye stuff by comparison with ones formed from beads treated with methanol, because the pore size was changed. It was also noticed that the porous copolymers performed in the presence of the solvating diluents (mixtures of solvatings and precipitants) swell very well in methanol though it is a precipitating medium for the polystyrenic macromolecular chains.

    Description / Table of Contents: An Styrol-Zinkacrylat-Copolymeren wurde die Abhängigkeit der Glasübergangstemperatur von der Aufheizgeschwindigkeit und der Zusammensetzung mit Hilfe der Differential-Scanning-Calorimetrie untersucht. Die Thermogravimetrie wurde benutzt, um die Pyrolyse dieser Copolymeren an Luft bei drei verschiedenen Aufheizge-schwindigkeiten zu untersuchen. Die thermische Zersetzung von Ionomeren ist ein 3-Stufen-Prozeß. Die Reaktionsordnung und Aktivierungsenergie wurde für jede Stufe der Zersetzung bestimmt unter Verwendung eines Computerprogramms, das auf den Methoden von Kissinger, Freeman-Carrol und Ozawa basiert. Es zeigte sich, daß die thermische Stabilität durch die ionischen Gruppen abnimmt.
    Notes: The dependence of glass temperature on the heating rate and the composition for styrene-zinc acrylate copolymers has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Thermogravimetry was used in order to examine these copolymers undergoing pyrolysis in an atmosphere of air at three different heating rates. Thermal decomposition of ionomers is a three-stage process. The orders and activation energies have been determined for each stage of decomposition using the computer programs based on the methods of Kissinger, Freeman-Carrol, and Ozawa. It was found that the heat stability is lowered by the ionic groups.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Pfropfung der hydrophilen Monomeren N-Vinylpyrrolidon, 2-Hydroxyethyl-methacrylat und Acrylamid auf ungesättigte segmentierte Polyurethane in N,N-Dimethylformamid mit 2,2′-Azobisisobutyronitril als Initiator wurde untersucht. Die Pfropfcopolymeren wurden von den Homopolymeren durch selektive Extraktion in Soxhlet-Apparaturen abgetrennt. Die kinetische Untersuchung der Pfropfcopolymerisation zeigte, daß die Reaktionen dem gewöhnlichen kinetischen Verhalten radikalischer Polymerisationen folgen. Die Abhängigkeiten der Pfropfungsgeschwindigkeit von der Initiator- und N-Vinylpyrrolidonkonzentration waren von 0,5 bzw. 1,0 Ordnung. Für 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylat wurden sie zu jeweils 0,5 und 2,0 gefunden. Die Gesamtaktivierungsenergie der Pfropfcopolymerisation des 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylats und des N-Vinylpyrrolidons betragen jeweilig 21,81 und 16,28 kJ/mol.
    Notes: Grafting of unsaturated segmented polyurethanes with some hydrophilic monomers such as N-vinyl pyrrolidone, 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate and acrylamide in N,N-dimethylformamide have been studied using 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. Graft copolymers were isolated from homopolymers by selected solvent extraction using a Soxhlet apparatus. A kinetic study of graft copolymerization reactions showed that the reactions follow the conventional kinetic behaviour of free radical polymerization. The dependencies of the grafting rate on initiator and N-vinyl pyrrolidone concentrations were of 0.5 and 1.00 order, respectively. However, for the 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate, the dependencies of the grafting rate on initiator and monomer concentrations were found to be of 0.5 and 2.00 order, respectively. The overall activation energy for the graft copolymerization of the 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate and N-vinyl pyrrolidone were 21.81 kJ/mol and 16.28 kJ/mol, respectively.

    Notes: Ultra fine particles were impregnated by using a finely porous cellulose gel membrane. The impregnated gel membrane is a green transparent one and looks like a solid solution. Highly dispersed Ni catalysts on carbon were obtained from thermal decomposition of these gel membranes. The particle size is in the range of several nm to a few ten nm. They show interesting catalytic properties for hydrogenation of olefins such as cyclooctadiene.

    Description / Table of Contents: An Proben aus Polypropylen, die bei sehr unterschiedlichen Einstellungen von Spritzgußmaschinen und Extrudern hergestellt wurden, stellten sich deutliche Abhängigkeiten des Alterungsverhaltens von den thermischen und mechanischen Produktionsparametern ein, die nicht durch unterschiedliche Schmelzetemperaturen bedingt sind. Insbesondere kann ausgesagt werden, daß bei Spritzguß eine hähere Scherbelastung und damit stärkere Orientierungen -eine stärkere Veränderung der Eigenspannungen hervorrufen-einen früheren Glanzabfall und-eine geringere Initialzeit bis zur Rißbildung bewirken.Bei Extrusion fiihrt eine geringere Abkühlgeschwindigkeit und damit ein gröberes Gefüge zu -einer stärkeren Veränderung der Eigenspannungen-einem friiheren und ausgeprägteren Glanzverlust-sowie zu einem früheren Abfall der Reißdehnungen.Unbekannt ist, -ob diese Wirkungen auch bei anderen Thermoplasten als PP auftreten-ob sie auch bei stabilisierten Systemen in relativ gleichem Umfange auftreten-und ob es sich lohnt, die beobachteten Effekte ggf. durch ge zielte Maschineneinstellungen auszunutzen.Auf jeden Fall sollten auf diesem Gebiet weitere Arbeiten durchge-führt werden.
    Notes: Specimens of unmodified polypropylene have been manufactured using extreme adjustings of injection moulding machines and extruders. After artificial weathering, distinct relations of ageing processes to thermal and mechanical production parameters were found, which are not influenced by different melting temperatures. It can be started in particular, that during injection moulding a larger shear stress (resulting in more distinct orientation) results in -a greater change in residual stresses-an earlier gloss reduction-a shorter initial period before cracking.During extrusion a lower cooling rate (resulting in a coarser structure) leads to -a greater change in residual stresses-an earlier and more distinct gloss reduction-an earlier loss of ultimate strain.It remains unknown, whether -these relationships will be similar with other thermoplastic materials than PP-these relationships appear to the same relative extend with stabilized systems-it may be advantageous, to use the observed effects by adjusting the injection moulding and extrusion machines in a special way.It seems to be significant to do more research work in this field.

    Description / Table of Contents: Poly(tetramethylenadipat)diol mit einer Molmasse von 2000 wurde bei Temperaturen von 60 und 80°C in Gegenwart von Wasser bzw. 1,4-Butandiol sowie den gebräuchlichsten PUR-Katalysatoren (Dabco und Dibutylzinndilaurat) gelagert und die Solvolyse untersucht. Die Geschwindigkeit der Solvolyse nimmt mit steigender Temperatur deutlich zu. Die Alkoholyse wird durch Dibutylzinndilaurat weitaus stärker katalysiert als durch 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oktan. Die Hydrolyse verläuft langsamer, da vermutlich die Katalysatoren bei diesem Prozeß desaktiviert werden. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften von Polyurethanen, die mit den partiell abgebauten Diolen hergestellt wurden, korrelieren gut mit der Abnahme der Molmasse.
    Notes: Poly(tetramethylene adipate)diol having a molar mass of 2000 was stored at temperatures of 60 and 80°C in the presence of water or 1,4-butanediol and a common PUR-catalyst like 1,4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octane (DABCO) or dibutyltindilaurate (DBTL) and the solvolysis was investigated. The rate of solvolysis is low at 60°C except for DBTL and shows a drastic increase at 80°C. In the alcoholysis reaction DBTL is a much more active catalyst than DABCO. The rate of hydrolysis is slower probably because the catalysts are deactivated by the acidic products formed in this process. The mechanical properties of polyurethanes made from the degraded polyols are in good correlation with the decrease in molar mass.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß der Zugabe von Bis(allylphenyl) Typ (TM 120)-Monomeren auf die Eigenschaften von unidirektional mit Carbonfasern verstärkten 4,4′-Bismaleimidodiphenylmethan (BM) - 2,4-Tolylendiamin (A) (1:0,3 Molverhältnis) (BM-A)-Verbundkörpern wird vorgestellt. Das Aushärteverhalten sowie das thermische Verhalten in Luft wurde mit Hilfe der Differentialkalorimetrie (DSC) und der Thermogravimetrie (TGA) untersucht. Die thermische Stabilität nimmt mit ansteigenden Konzentrationen von TM 120 deutlich zu. Demgegenüber steht ein Anstieg der Biegefesigkeit, der interlaminaren Scherfestigkeit sowie der Schlagzähigkeit mit zunehmender Monomerkonzentration. Optimale mechanische Eigenschaften wurden bei etwa 20 Tle./100 Tle. TM 120 erreicht.
    Notes: The paper deals with the effect of addition of bis(allylphenyl) type (TM 120) monomer on the properties of unidirectionally carbon fibre reinforced 4,4′ bismaleimidodi-phenyl methane (BM) - 2,4-tolylene diamine (A) (1:0.3 molar ratio) (BM-A) composites. The curing and thermal behaviour of the blends was investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in air atmosphere. A marginal decrease in thermal stability was observed with increasing concentration of TM 120. Flexural, interlaminar, and impact strength of the laminates increased in the presence of this monomer. Optimum mechanical properties were observed at ∼ 20 phr of TM 120.

    Description / Table of Contents: In dieser Arbeit wurden Veränderungen des verschweisßten Rohr- und Fittingmaterials (isotaktisches Polypropylen Homo- bzw. Copolymer PP-R grau pigmentiert) wührend der für die Praxis relevanten Innendruckversuche untersucht.Bei der technischen Verschweißung von Polyolefinen entstehen charakteristische Gefüigezonen im Schweißnahtbereich, welche vom Fßgematerial und den Fngebedingungen beeinflußt werden. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurden sowohl die Materialcbergange im Fiigebereich (mit den Methoden - schichtenweise Differentialkalorimetrie, Polarisations- bzw. Elektronenmikroskopie sowie Fluoreszenzspektroskopie mit extrem hoher Ortsauflösung) als auch die Eigenspannungen hinsichtlich ihrer Verlnderung bei Langzeitpriifung im Innendruckzeitstandversuch bei 95°C bis zu einer Prüfzeit von 18.100h untersucht.Die Abbauvorgänge der Makromoleküle bei der Langzeitprüfung der 364 untersuchten Schweißmuster werden in einer gesonderten Arbeit behandelt (1).Durch die Innendruckversuche bei 950 C findet eine Nachkristallisation und eine Gefügevergrijberung sowohl in der Schweißnaht als auch im Gefüge der Schweißpartner statt. Dabei werden die beim Schweißvorgang eingebrachten Orientierungen und Eigenspannungen unter dem Einfluß von Wärme beim Innendruckversuch weitgehend abgebaut. Durch die unter Druckeinwirkung einsetzenden Flieävorgange jedoch werden neue Eigenspannungen eingebracht.Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß bei guter Verschweißung von PP mit PPCO ein kontinuierlicher Übergang (Mischungsbereich) vom Homopolymeren zum Copolymeren auftritt, der auch beim Langzeiteinsatz im Innendruckversuch erhalten bleibt.
    Notes: The present study deals with changes of welded material of pipes and fittings (isotactic polypropylene homo and copolymer PP-R grey pigmented) during the standardized internal pressure tests, which are commonly used for these products.Technical welding of polyolefines causes characteristic structures, which depend on the natural of the welded material and the welding conditions.In this investigation both the transition of material in the welding seam and the changes of internal stresses during internal pressure tests at 95°C until 18.100h test time were examined. The methods we used were Differential calorimetry of think layers, Polarization- and Electron microscopy, Fluorescence spectroscopy with extreme high local resolution.The effects of decomposition of the macromolecules in the welded samples during the internal pressure tests will be described in a separate paper (1).The internal pressure tests at 95O C cause a recrystallization and an increase of the particle size in the structure of the welding seam and in the structure of the welded parts themselves. Under the above described testing conditions the orientations and internal stresses initiated by the welding procedure will relaxe influenced by heat. However the creep effects that occur in the material when exposed to pressure introduce new internal stresses. It could be shown that in perfectly welded parts a continuous transition from PP to PPCO occurs, which did not change after long time application of internal pressure tests.

Die erhaltenen Coordinationspolymeren wurden durch Elementaranalyse, magnetische Suszeptibilität, elektronische und IR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Die durch Thermogravimetrie bestimmte thermische Stabilität der Coordinationspolymeren nahm in der folgenden Reihenfolge ab: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}${\rm Zn} \simeq {\rm Fe} 〉 {\rm Co} 〉 {\rm Ni} 〉 {\rm Min} \simeq {\rm Cu}$\end{document} Mn(II)-, Fe(II)-, Co(II)- und Ni(II)-Coordinationspolymere haben eine Oktaederstruktur mit der Koordinationszahl6, während bei den Cu(II)- und Zn(II)-Coordinationspolymeren eine 4-fach koordinierte quadratisch-planare bzw. eine tetraedrische Struktur gefunden wurde. Ligandenfeld- und nephelawetische Parameter wurden aus den Spektren errechnet. Dam wurde die Ligandenfeldtheorie spin-erlaubter Übergänge angewandt, die sich als konsistent mit einer 6-fach koordinierten Struktur für Mn(II)-, Fe(II)-, Co(II)- und Ni(II)-Coordinationspolymere erwies. Die Elementaranalysen ergaben bei allen Coordinationspolymeren ein Ligand: Metall-Verhältnis von 1 : 1 und deuteten bei den Mn(II)-, Fe(II)-, Co(II)- und Ni(II)-Coordinationspolymeren auf am Zentralatom assoziierte Wassermoleküle hin.
    Notes: New Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) coordination polymers of Schiff base ligand derived from terephthalaldehyde and S-benzyldithiocarbazate have been synthesized in DMF media. The coordination polymers have been characterized by their elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, and by electronic and infrared spectral measurements.The thermal stability of each polymer was found out by thermogravimetric analysis. The thermal stability of coordination polymers obtained from thermograms has the following order: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ {\rm Zn} \simeq {\rm Fe} 〉 {\rm Co} 〉 {\rm Ni} 〉 {\rm Min} \simeq {\rm Cu}$\end{document} Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) coordination polymers are of a six-coordinated octahedral structure while Cu(II) and Zn(II) coordination polymers are found to be four-coordinated square planar and tetrahedral structure, respectively. The ligand-field and nephelauxetic parameters have been determined from the spectra, using ligand-field theory of spin-allowed transitions which are found consistent with six-coordinate structure for Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) coordination polymers. Elemental analyses indicates a ligand: metal ratio of 1 : 1 in all the coordination polymers and the association of water molecules with central metal atom in case of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) coordination polymers.

    Description / Table of Contents: Emulsionen von aromatischen Polyamidsären (PMPE and PBPPM) in DMF und Methanol wurden benutzt, um gleichmäßige Filme auf Leiteroberflächen durch Elektrophorese abzuscheiden. Die Ausbeute und Qualität der abgeschiedenen Filme hängen von der Art der Polyamidsäre, dem Lösemittel, dem Fällungsmittel, dem oberflächenaktiven Mittel, dem pH-Wert und dem Polymergehalt ab. Die Bedingungen zum Erreichen der höchsten Abscheidungsausbeuten wurden bestimmt.
    Notes: The emulsions of aromatic polyamic acids (PMPE and PBPPM) in DMF and methanol were used to coat uniform films on conductor surfaces by electrodeposition. The deposition yield and quality of the deposited films are dependent on sort of polyamic acid, solvent (DMF), precipitant (MeOH), surfactant (TEA), pH value and solid content. To get maximum deposition yields from PMPE and PBPPM, the best conditions of electrodeposition were required as follows: pH value 5.7 and 5.58, MeOH/DMF weight ratio 3.0 and 2.8, solid content 3.5 and 2.4 wt.-%. Deposition yield was found to obey Faraday's law of electrolysis, and the higher the equivalent weight of the polyamic acid, the higher the coulombic yield.

    Description / Table of Contents: Für eine anionische Polymerisation mit langsamer Start- und schneller Wachstumsreaktion wurde ein analytischer Ausdruck entwickelt, der es erlaubt, mittlere Molekulargewichte und Molekulargewichtsverteilungen von Polymeren vorauszuberechnen, die in einem halbkontinuierlichen Polymerisationsverfahren bei Zulauf einer verunreinigten Monomerlösung zu einer vorgelegten Initiatolösung entstehen. Die Gültig keit des Modells wurde an der Polymerisation von Isopren mit n-Butyllithium in n-Heptan überprüft. Die beobachteten Unterschiede zwischen theoretischen und experimentellen Werten werden auf die Änderungen in den Geschwindigkeitskonstanten von Start- und Wachstumsreaktion zurückgeführt, die dadurch hervorgerufen werden, daß sich die Polarität der Lösung durch die Anreicherung mit polaren Verbindungen ändert. Weiterhin wird gezeigt, daß bimodale Molekulargewichtsverteilungen entstehen, wenn sich an die halbkontinuierliche Verfahrensweise eine diskontinuierliche zur Erhöhung des Monomerumsatzes anschließt.
    Notes: For anionic polymerization with slow initiation and rapid propagation step analytical expressions are presented to calculate average molecular weights and molecular weight distributions for a semi-batch process, in which a monomer solution contaminated by impurities is fed to an initiator solution in the reactor. The validity of the model was checked for the case of the polymerization of isoprene by n-butyllithium in n-heptane. The differences observed between theoretical and experimental values are explained by the changes in the rate constants of the initiation and the propagation step caused by the change in the polarity of the reaction solution by the continuously fed impurities. Furthermore it is shown that polymers with bimodal molecular weight distributions are formed if the semi-batch procedure is followed by a batch one to increase the monomer conversion.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Copolymerisation von Butylacrylat (BA) mit Vinylbenzylglycidylether (VBGE) wurden neue Acrylkautschuke mit Epoxyseitengruppen hergestellt. Um die Zähigkeit eines gehärteten Epoxidharzes (Bisphenol A/Diglycidylether/p,p′-Diaminodiphenylsulfon) zu erhöhen, wurde dieses mit den erhaltenen Acrylkautschuken modifiziert. Eine Zugabe von 20 Gew.-% eines Copolymeren mit 74% BA und 26% VBGE-Einheiten führte zu einer 30proz. Zunahme der Bruchzähigkeit (KIC) des gehärteten Harzes bei einer minimalen Einbuße an Festigkeit und Steifigkeit. Die modifizierten Harze wiesen eine Zwei-Phasen-Morphologie auf, bei der Kautschukteilchen mit einer mittleren Größe von 2 μm in eine Epoxymatrix eingebettet sind. Das Copolymere ohne Epoxyseitengruppen, das aus BA und Vinylbenzylmethoxyethylether hergestellt wurde, war als Modifier unwirksam, was darauf hindeutet, daß die seitenstándigen Epoxidgruppen zu einer guten Zwischenphasenadhäsion zwischen Kautschukteilchen und Matrix, und damit zu erhöhter Zähigkeit führen. Kautschuke, die 55 oder 86% BA-Einheiten enthielten, waren ebenfalls ungenügende Modifier. Zugabe des ersteren ergab Harze mit einer homogenen Phasenstruktur, während die Zugabe des letzteren zu einer Phasentrennung zwischen Kautschuk und Epoxidharz führte.
    Notes: New acrylic rubbers with a pendant epoxy group were prepared by copolymerization of butyl acrylate (BA) with vinylbenzyl glycidyl ether (VBGE). The modification of an epoxy system (bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether/p,p′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone) with the acrylic rubbers was carried out in order to increase the toughness of the cured epoxy resin. The addition of 20 wt.-% of the copolymer containing 74% of BA and 26% of VBGE units resulted in a 30% increase in the fracture toughness (KIC) of the cured resin at minimal expenses of strength and modulus of the resin. The modified epoxy resin had two-phase morphology in which the rubber particles with average diameter of 2 μm are dispersed in the epoxy matrix. The copolymer without the pendant epoxy group, prepared from BA and vinylbenzyl methoxyethyl ether, was ineffective as a modifier, indicating that the reaction of the pendant epoxide with the epoxy matrix resulted in good interfacial adhesion between the rubber particles and the matrix, and in the increased toughness. The epoxide-containing copolymers with 55 or 86% of BA units were also insufficient modifiers. The addition of the former yielded cured resins with homogeneous structure, whereas that of the latter resulted in macroscopic phase separation between the rubber and the epoxy resin.

    Description / Table of Contents: Lösungen von Polyether/Polyurethan-Kationomeren, die auf Toluoldiisocyanaten basieren, wurden hergestellt und durch Zugabe von Wasser emulgiert. Die Eigenschaften von aus diesen Lösungen und Emulsionen gegossenen Filmen werden mit Hilfe der Infrarot-Spektroskopie, dynamisch-mechanischer Messungen, der Differentialkalorimetrie, der Weitwinkel-Röntgendiffraktometrie und von Zug-Dehnungsmessungen untersucht. Der Einbau eines asymmetrischen, kettenverlängernden Bausteins, wie N-Methyldiethanolamin, führt zu einem Polyurethan (PU), das, ßhnlich wie das mit symmetrischem, kettenverlängerndem 1,4-Butandiol aufgebaute Polyurethan, eine meßbare Ordnung innerhalb der Hartsegmente aufweist. Nach der Quarternisierung mit Glykolsaure haben die PU-Kationomeren erhöhte Werte für Reißdehnung, Zugmodul und -festigkeit. Dies kann auf die Coulomb-Wechselwirkung zwischen benachbarten Hartsegmenten zurückgefiihrt werden. Das Emulgieren der PU-Ionomer-Lösung führt zu einer verstärkten Mischung der Weich-und Hartsegmente, wodurch die ursprünglichen Hartsegmentbereiche mit asymmetrischen 2,4-Urethanisomeren eine höhere Konzentration an 2,6-Isomeren enthalten. Die Hartsegmentbereiche erreichen dadurch höhere Ordnung. Diese erhähte Ordnung und Phasenmischung führt zu einer Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften. Die Veränderung der Leitfähigkeit und Viskosität wahrend dem Emulgieren zeigt, daß das Wasser zuerst auf der Oberfäche des Mikroionengitters der Hartsegmente adsorbiert wird und dann in die ungeordneten und geordneten Hartsegmentbereiche eindringt.
    Notes: Toluene diisocyanate based polyether polyurethane cationomer solutions are prepared and then emulsified by adding water. Properties of films cast from the solutions and emulsions are studied using infrared spectroscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and tensileelongation testing. It is found that the use of the asymmetric chain extender, N-methyl-diethanolamine, also leads to a polyurethane (PU) with detectable order in the hard domains as in the PU with symmetric chain extender such as 1,4-butandiol. After quaternization with glycolic acid, the PU cationomers have increased elongation and tensile strength and modulus. These can be attributed to the proper Coulomb interaction between two neighboring hard segments. The emulsification of the PU ionomer solution results in an increased mixing between the soft segments and the hard segments with asymmetric 2,4-urethane isomers originally located in the hard domains, and therefore make the hard domains containing a higher concentration of symmetric 2,6-isomer. The hard domains then become more ordered. Such increased order and phase mixing leads to an increase of the three tensile properties. During the emulsification conductivity and viscosity variations show that water is firstly adsorbed on the surface of the hard segment microionic lattices and then enters into the disordered and ordered hard domains successively.

    Notes: The conformational energetics of the tetranucleoside triphosphates d(ApApApA), d(GpGpGpG), d(CpCpCpC), d(TpTpTpT), ApApApA, GpGpGpG, CpCpCpC, and UpUpUpU are thoroughly examined using a classical potential energy function. The sugar modeling method and multiple correlation functions derived in previous papers of this series are utilized in these examinations. The data are analyzed and compared in terms of the energy profiles for rotation about the conformation-determining torsion angles in the tetramers. Overall, the predictions are in reasonable qualitative agreement with the existing experimental data. It is found that the base type does not greatly affect the locations of the important minima in these profiles, but rather exerts a large influence on the relative depths of the minima and the barriers to conversion between them. Conformational sequence dependence is manifest to a greater extent by the DNA tetramers than the RNA tetramers. Of the DNA tetramers, d(CpCpCpC) appears, from the results presented herein, to have the greatest potential for polymorphism. This and other findings are analyzed in terms of the preferences of particular DNA sequences for either the A-, B-, or Z-conformation.

    Notes: A simple graphical method for calculating stoichiometric and site binding constants for systems with two initially equivalent interacting sites is derived from a modified Scatchard equation. The binding constants can be calculated from Scatchard plots (r/[A] as a function of r) using the values of r/[A] (r is the molar ratio of bound ligands to total protein and [A] is the equilibrium concentration of free ligand) when r = 0 and r = 1 (half-saturation). The applicability of the method to the adsorption of bilirubin by peptide pendants immobilized on a polyacrylamide support is demonstrated.

    Notes: The statistical mechanical theory for the helix-to-random-coil transition in two-chain coiled coils is applied to extant data for two synthetic coiled-coil polypeptides. These peptides have the primary structure K(LEALEGK)n, in which n = 4, 5. This repeating heptet sequence mimics the pattern of hydrophobic, acidic, and basic residues characteristic of the 284-residue tropomyosin molecule, the prototypical coiled-coil protein. Theoretical calculations for single chains show that such model peptides cannot be directly compared to proteins like tropomyosin because of differences in chain length (29 and 36 residues vs 284) and in intrachain interactions, the latter caused by the differences in amino acid composition and seqeunce between protein and model. Application of the theory to extant data on the two synthetic peptides provides a semiquantitative fit and results in an assessment of the interhelix interaction in the model peptides. The value obtained, ∼ 2000 cal · (mol of turn pairs)-1, is four to five times larger than has been obtained for tropomyosin. This probably is a result of greater regularity in the structure of the synthetics and of the exclusive presence of leucine in the hydrophobic interface. The theory employed here insists that this powerful interhelix interaction in the synthetic is the principal reason that such short chains can be so highly helical at moderate and low temperatures. Theory predicts, indeed, that a tropomyosin-length chain with a sequence homologous to these synthetics would be completely thermally stable in the entire temperature range accessible in aqueous solutions. Theory also predicts a much more pronounced effect of concentration on the 29- and 36-residue synthetic polymers than is predicted or observed in the case of tropomyosin, and it also predicts a pronounced stabilizing effect of pH-reduction on the thermal curves. On the last two points, sufficient data are not yet available with which to test the theory.

    Notes: A cyclic peptide analogue of somatostatin, including the o-aminomethylphenylacetic acid spacer, was studied by the combined use of two-dimensional nmr spectroscopy, distance geometry, and restrained molecular dynamics. Analysis of distances determined from nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) buildup rates revealed that these were inconsistent with a unique backbone conformation near the spacer. Assuming that the conformational heterogeneity is localized to the spacer, the NOE distances measured for the remaining part of the molecule were used to generate a large number of structures with the distance geometry algorithm, which were then refined by restrained energy minimization. Four classes of structures emerged, which together account for all observed NOEs. A representative structure of each class was further refined with the restrained molecular dynamics technique, and shown to be stable on a 20-ps time scale. The flexibility of the spacer was examined by simulating interconversions induced by an appropriate restraining potential. As a result, the explanation for the lack of somatostatin activity of the analogue studied was reconsidered.

    Notes: A semiempirical theory of saccharide optical activity indicates that the dominant source of NaD rotation is a vacuum-uv CD band near 150 nm, a band observed experimentally in polysaccharide film CD spectra. The model is a modification of polarizability theory in which high-energy electronic excitations are coupled by degenerate perturbation theory, giving rise to “molecular excitons.” The existence of an excitation mode well separated in energy from even higher energy modes arises from the local symmetry of tetrahedral carbon atoms in a puckered ring structure. Calculated NaD rotations correlate well with experimental values.

    Notes: It is demonstrated that protein α-helix content can be predicted from an autocorrelation analysis of the protein hydrophobicity sequence. The Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function yields the spectral densities or weights of the various frequencies contributing to the autocorrelation function. Using sequence and secondary structure data from more than 160 proteins and domains, a linear relationship was found between spectral density at periodicity 3.7 and protein α-helix content (r = 0.83). This relation permits prediction of the helix content (x) of proteins of known sequence to within ± 15%, i.e., as (x ± 15)%. Predictions based on the autocorrelation procedure are compared with values obtained by other methods.

    Notes: Evidence for a helical contribution to the conformation of methylcellulose in dilute solution is given by CD measurements. Congo red binds to methylcellulose in dilute aqueous solution and becomes optically active. The shape of the induced CD spectra is as predicted by exciton coupling for a helical arrangement of chromophores. The magnitude of the induced CD changes reversibly with temperature, decreasing upon heating. The dimer analogue of the polymer, prepared by acid methanolysis, does not show this effect. These observations suggest that the induced optical activity reflects the conformational dissymmetry of the polymer. Analogous experiments with the cellulose oligomers (cellotriose through cellohexaose) show that five anhydroglucose units are necessary before asymmetry is induced upon dye binding.

    Notes: Polarized Raman spectra have been obtained from single microcrystals of the duplex of the decamer d(A5T5)2 using a Raman microscope. This is the first report of Raman spectra from a crystal of a deoxyoligomer that contains only long, nonalternating sequences of adenine and thymine. Sequences containing d(A)n and d(T)n are of interest in view of recent suggestions that they induce bends in DNA and that they might exist in a nonstandard B-conformation. Polarized Raman spectra of a crystal of d(pTpT) have also been obtained. Both crystals display Raman bands whose intensities are very sensitive to the orientation of the crystal with respect to the direction of polarization of the incident laser beam. These spectra indicate that the helical axes of the oligonucleotides are parallel to the long axes of the crystals and that the d(A5T5)2 is not appreciably bent in the crystal. The Raman spectrum from the d(pTpT) crystal indicates that all of the furanose ring puckers are in a C2′-endo configuration since only the C2′-endo marker band at 835 ± 5 cm-1 is present. Crystals of d(A5T5)2 show measurable Raman intensities in both the 838- and 816-cm-1 bands. This indicates the presence of both the C2′-endo and C3′-endo, or possibly other non-C2′-endo, furanose conformations. The 816-cm-1 band is weak so that only a small fraction of the residues are estimated to be in the non-C2′-endo conformation. In both the d(pTpT) and d(A5T5)2 crystals the intensity of the bands due to vibrations of the backbone show only a small dependence on orientation of the crystals. This result is explained by the low symmetry of the puckered sugar rings. It is concluded that Raman spectra obtained from oligonucleotide crystals in which the orientation of the crystal axes to the laser polarization is not carefully controlled may contain intensity artifacts that are due to polarization effects.

    Notes: On the basis of a harmonic dynamics calculation, it is shown that in the 800-500-cm-1 spectral region of DNA vibrational spectra, the characteristic Raman peaks and ir bands do not arise from the same nucleosidic motions. The Raman spectra involve mainly the ring-breathing modes of nucleic bases while the ir spectra reveal essentially their out-of-plane vibrations. Moreover, the calculated results show the splitting of the guanine- and adenine-residue breathing modes upon their coupling with the sugar-pucker motions. This fact is in agreement with the poly[d(G-C)] and poly[d(A-T)] Raman spectra.

    Notes: Two-dimensional 1H-nmr spectra of the α-mating factor [in dimethyl sulfoxide-d6 (DMSO) and in water] and several dodecapeptide analogues (in DMSO) were obtained. Homonuclear correlated spectroscopy resulted in the complete and unequivocal assignment of all backbone and side-chain resonances of the peptides. The solution conformation of the pheromones was probed using two-dimensional (2D) nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) and rotating frame nuclear Overhauer effect spectroscopy (ROESY). The 2D NOE results, and results of complementary one-dimensional experiments, suggest that a type II β-turn is assumed by the central portion of active pheromones in both DMSO and water. Inactive analogues of the α-factor do not exhibit this structural feature. Except for this one β-turn, the nmr parameters for α-factor are indicative of a conformationally flexible molecule in both solvents. This conclusion is in contrast to that of other researchers who have proposed a highly structured conformation of α-factor in aqueous solution.

    Notes: An extensive series of experiments has been performed to study the mobility of DNA fragments ranging in size from 2.0 to 48.5 kilobose pairs. By varying the agarose concentration in the gels and the electric field strength, three DNA electrophoresis regimes were clearly identified: the Ogston regime (small DNA fragments in large pores of agarose), the reptation regime without DNA chain stretching (small pores of agarose and weak electric fields), and the reptation regime with DNA chain stretching (small pores of agarose, strong electric fields, and large DNA fragments). Here we report on the experimental identification of these regimes and on the conditions governing the transition between each of them. The onset of reptation and of stretching of DNA chains in gel electrophoresis are described quantitatively for the first time, and a phase diagram for the dynamics of DNA during electrophoresis is presented.

    Notes: Several amino terminal fragments of the emerimicins (Ac-Phe1-Aib2-Aib3-Aib4-Val5-Gly6-Leu7-Aib8-Aib9-Hyp10-Gln11-D-Iva12-Hyp13-Ala/Aib14-Phol15) ranging in length from five to ten residues have been synthesized. Nuclear magnetic resonance studies have been carried out on the 1-5, 6-10, 1-6, 1-7, 1-8, 1-9, and 1-10 fragments. The number of solvent-shielded NH groups in CDCl3 solutions for 1-5, 1-6, 1-7, 1-8, 1-9, and 1-10 indicate that 310-helical structures are favored in this solvent. In (CD3)2SO, an additional NH group, assigned to Aib(3) NH is solvent exposed in the fragments longer than six residues, suggesting partial unfolding of the N-terminal β-turn or transition to an α-helical conformation. The data for fragment 6-10 are consistent with a conformation having a single Leu-Aib β-turn. Infrared studies suggest an increase in the number of intramolecular hydrogen bonds with increasing peptide chain length. Appreciable mitochondrial uncoupling activity is observed for peptides with a chain length of at least seven residues. The order of efficiencies of the fragments is 1-7 〈 1-8 ∼ 1-10 〈 1-9, with the decapeptide exhibiting anomalously low uncoupling activity.

    Notes: The molecular and crystal structures of three monothiated analogues of the blocked L-Ala-Aib-L-Ala sequence of peptaibol antibiotics, t-Boc-L-Ala-Aib-ψ(CSNH)-L-Ala-OMe, Ac-L-Ala-Aib-ψ(CSNH)-L-Ala-OMe, and Ac-ψ(CSNH)-L-Ala-Aib-L-Ala-OMe, determined by x-ray diffraction analyses, are reported. In all cases the peptide chain is folded with ϕ,ψ angles close to or slightly distorted from those expected for a type II β-bend conformation. However, the 4 → 1 H-bond distance falls within the accepted limits only for Ac-L-Ala-Aib-ψ(CSNH)-L-Ala-OMe. The structures are compared with those already published for their two oxygenated analogues.

    Notes: The folded nature of an intramolecular antiparallel β-sheet suggests that the introduction of this structure into a statistical coil might be accompanied by a contraction of the chain. The magnitude of the contraction, and the conditions that produce the maximum contraction, have been assessed by the combination of generator matrices with an earlier formulation for the configuration partition function. The results show that the mean square dimensions do indeed pass through a minimum upon the transition from a statistical coil to an antiparallel β-sheet. The depth of the minimum is relatively insensitive to the values of δ and τ, provided the assignments are within the physically sensible range. (The borders of the ordered region are assumed to be of higher energy than the interior.) In contrast with the depth of the minimum, the β-sheet content that produces the minimum is quite sensitive to plausible variation in δ and τ. A much greater collapse of the chain can be produced by antiparallel β-sheet formation than that found in the course of the helix-coil transition. The collapse may cause the volume pervaded by the chain to come within an order of magnitude of the volume characteristic of the globular state.

    Notes: The crystal structure of the antitumor antibiotic actinomycin D has been determined by the methods of x-ray crystallography. There are three independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Two of the molecules form a hydrogen-bonded dimer. The peptides within all three molecules have very similar conformations. The greatest conformational variability in the drug molecules occurs in the torsion angles of the bonds connecting the phenoxazone ring to the peptide rings. The results of this analysis has allowed us to explain the unusual physical properties of ActD as well as to provide an explanation for the thermodynamics of its interactions with DNA.

    Notes: The sedimentation coefficient sN of the DNA topoisomer with the linking number N is evaluated as a function of N and chain length on the basis of a (circular) twisted wormlike chain, i.e., a special case of the helical wormlike chain. Evaluation is carried out by an application of the Oseen-Burgers procedure of hydrodynamics to the cylinder model with the preaveraged Oseen tensor. The necessary mean reciprocal distance between two contour points is obtained by a Monte Carlo method. It is shown that sN increases as |ΔN| is increased from 0 in the range of small |ΔN|, where ΔN = N - N, with N the number of helix turns in the linear DNA chain in the undeformed state. It is found that there is semiquantitative agreement between the Monte Carlo values and the experimental data obtained by Wang for sN.

    Notes: High-resolution 2H-nmr is employed to monitor the D2O in hydrated solids of Li-DNA prepared from solution by three different methods: lyophilization, slow evaporation of the water, and wet spinning in alcohol. From the spectral shapes and spin-spin relaxation measurements, the DNA in the lyophilized samples is found to be locally ordered with a domain size of ∼ 0.4 μm. Much longer range macrosopic ordering is found in samples prepared by slow evaporation of the water. Here the DNA spontaneously assembles into a structure that is probably cholesteric, in which the pitch axis is perpendicular to the plane on which the DNA dried. The wet-spinning method produces macroscopically, uniaxially oriented DNA molecules with a maximum helix axis disorder of 12°. To aid in the comparison between calculated and experimental line shapes, a two-dimensional technique is employed to separate the contributions to the line width arising from DNA static disorder, magnetic inhomogeneities, and spin-spin relaxation.

    Notes: The cation sensitivity of linear and lateral assembly processes of thrombin- and reptilase-activated fibrinogen was examined. Analytic ultracentrifugation shows that the linear assembly of fibrin oligomers (protofibrils) is neither cation dependent nor sensitive to chelating agents. Protofibrils generated with thrombin-hirudin gelate with either 1-2 mM Ca(II) or 15-100 μM Zn(II). By contrast, protofibril B, generated with reptilase-diisopropylfluorophosphonate, gelates only with Ca(II) but is insensitive to Zn(II). These results indicate that the release of fibrinopeptides A and B (FPA and FPB) expose two types of lateral binding sites that are sensitive to Ca(II) and Zn(II) respectively. Transmission electron (TEM) micrographs of negatively stained gels indicate that the linear packing of the monomers within the fibrin- and cation-induced protofibrin fibers is essentially identical. Scanning electron (SEM) micrographs show that the Ca(II)-induced protofibrin B gel is similar to fibrin. In all, it seems that branching and gelation derive from two types of cation-sensitive, lateral associative processes. Based on these findings, a new paradigm for fibrin coagulation is proposed.
