    Notes: Abstract A Danish genetic study showed increased risk of cluster headache (CH) among relatives of CH patients. We studied the families of 191 CH patients (118 males, 73 females; mean age 45.9 years) attending the Milan Headache Center. Information on 3589 relatives was collected by direct interview of the probands (n = 118) or by mailed questionnaire (n = 73). The diagnostic criteria of the IHS were used. A positive family history was found in 19% (37 of 191) of the families. A total of 32 first-degree (32 of 1036, 3.1%) and 15 second-degree (15 of 2553, 0.6%) relatives were affected. The relative risk of CH was 26.89 (95% CI, 17.57–36.21) in the first-degree relatives and 4.35 (95% CI, 2.13–5.21) in second-degree relatives. This study shows increased familial risk of cluster headache in an Italian population and confirms that cluster headache is, in some families, and inherited disorder.

    Notes: Abstract Migraine carries a significant hereditary determination. Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) has been recently linked to mutations in the CACNA1A gene on chromosome 19. CACNA1A codes for a subunit of a neural calcium channel. Other linkage loci on chromosome 1q21-23 and 1q31 have been reported. Several linkage and association studies have been performed to determine the role of the CACNA1A gene, and of other candidate genes implicated in the metabolism of serotonin and dopamine, in the more common types of migraine. Co-morbidity of migraine with vascular events has been analysed versus genetic prothrombotic factors and mitochondrial DNA, and genes involved in the inflammatory cascade have been explored. Though no definite conclusions have emerged from these studies as yet, molecular genetics of migraine can be expected to unravel the complex aetiologies of these fascinating diseases.

    Notes: Abstract Molecular genetics offers a novel approach to the understanding and management of migraine since the disorder is known to have a strong genetic component. In recent studies, polymorphisms in the genes for dopamine receptors have been evaluated. Both positive and negative association studies have been reported. In particular, these data suggest that activation of the DRD2 receptor plays a modifying role in the pathophysiology of migraine. As a result, existing data provide a molecular rationale for the documented efficacy of dopamine D2 receptor antagonists in the treatment of migraine. Therefore, at the present time, molecular genetic data provide support for the hypothesis that susceptibility to migraine may be modified, in part, by variations in dopamine DRD2 receptor function.

    Notes: Abstract Pathophysiological studies have dominated migraine research for several years. However, these studies are difficult to interpret because it is difficult to decide whether the observed phenomena are primary or secondary to the migraine attack. For that reason it is important that future migraine research focus on studies that concern migrain etiology. Migraine is a paroxysmal disorder. It is most likely and ion-channel disorder like familial hemiplegic migraine. The present paper focuses on genetic factors in migraine and chronic tension-type headache.

    Notes: Abstract  Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is a hereditary cancer syndrome caused by germline mutations of the VHL tumor suppressor gene. Major progress has been made in the last decade in both clinical and fundamental aspects of VHL. The VHL gene product, pVHL, has major and multiple functions: pVHL regulates not only first angiogenesis but also extracellular matrix formation and the cell cycle. A molecular diagnosis of VHL is now available, leading to a transformation in clinical management of patients and their families. Diagnosis of VHL has to be suspected in patients with a VHL-related tumor without familial history and especially in case of hemangioblastoma or endolymphatic sac tumors. Such patients should be systematically investigated for clinical and molecular evidence of VHL disease. Treatment of symptomatic hemangioblastomas remains mainly neurosurgical, often in emergency, but stereotactic radiosurgery is emerging as an alternative therapeutic procedure. In the future, antiangiogenic drugs could represent a potential medical treatment of CNS hemangioblastomas in view of their highly vascular structure. Lastly, visceral manifestations of VHL disease are also of critical importance and require early detection for effective treatment.

    Notes: Abstract Migraine is a common chronic disorder with an etiology still mostly unknown. Several neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin are considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease and the study of their systems is crucial in the understanding of migraine. Dopaminergic receptors are variously represented in human CNS and periphery. The hypothesis that a hypersensitivity of the dopaminergic system may have a role in migraine is based on clinical and genetic data. Genetic data are represented by association studies using dopaminergic genes as candidate genes which show that the D2 receptor gene appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of migraine.

    Notes: Abstract Human leukocyte Antigens (HLA) are encoded by genes located on chromosome 6p21. Genes important in migraine are being recognized in two basic ways: association studies and linkage analysis. One of the strongest associations is with the HLA region. Actually, genome scan studies suggest that multiple genes are involved in both migraine without aura (MWoA) and migraine with aura (MWA). However, both MWoA and MWA are disorders in which multiple factors, including environmental and genetic factors, confer disease susceptibility. Linkage analysis is identifying new candidate genes that will help to explain the etiology of migraine. In this review previous studies regarding genetic susceptibility to migraine are analyzed, particularly those related to the HLA region. I discuss evidence that HLA shared-hyplotypes in MWoA-affected pairs in different than that expected, that HLA-DR2 antigen provides additional basis for the proposed genetic heterogeneity between MWoA and MWA, and lastly that TNFB gene studies seem to play an important role in the susceptibility to MWoA. In the past years, major advances hae been made in understanding the genetic foundation of MWoA and MWA. Our reported genome-scan studies support the concept that MWoA/MWA are coinherited with a particular HLA region. However, the examination of candidate genes (Ca2+ channel, vascular, CNS, etc.) in a large migraine population seems to be the correct direction in which we have to move. More MWoA/MWa gene studies are needed to test this developing hypothesis and to further establish the complete genetic scenario of migraine.

    Notes: ABSTRACT¶Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with clinical features resulting from deficiency of dopamine in the nigrostriatal system. Most PD cases are sporadic and the primary cause of the disease is still unknown. Recently, familial PD and parkinsonism have received much attention because these forms of the disease might provide clues to the genetic risk factors involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic PD. To date, two causative genes, α-synuclein and the parkin gene, have been identified. α-Synuclein is involved in the pathogenesis of an autosomal dominant form of PD and constitutes a major component of the Lewy body, which is a pathological hallmark of idiopathic PD. In addition, mutations in the parkin gene have been identified as the cause of autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (AR-JP). AR-JP manifests itself as a highly selective degeneration of the substantia nigra and the locus coeruleus, but without Lewy body formation. In addition to these two genes, four chromosomal loci have been linked to other forms of familial PD. Furthermore, there are a number of other pedigrees of familial PD in which linkage to known genetic loci has been excluded. Molecular cloning of these disease genes and elucidation of the function of their gene products will greatly contribute to our understanding of the pathogenesis of idiopathic PD.

    Notes: Abstract  Mechanisms underlying susceptibility to skin irritants are not clearly understood. Cytokines play a key role in inflammation, and functional polymorphisms in cytokine genes may affect responses to irritants. We investigated the relationship between polymorphism in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α-chain gene and responses to irritants. Volunteers (n=221) tested with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and benzalkonium chloride (BKC) were divided into responders and nonresponders and high and low irritant-threshold groups. DNA was assayed for the TNF-308 polymorphism by a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. There was a significant increase in the A allele (P=0.030) and AA genotype (P=0.023) in both the SDS low irritant-threshold group and in SDS responders (A allele P=0.022, AA genotype P=0.048). In the BKC low irritant-threshold group, we found a significant increase in the A allele (P=0.002) and AA genotype (P=0.016). Individuals with a low threshold to both irritants demonstrated a significant increase (P=0.002) in the A allele. This is the first description of a nonatopic genetic marker for irritant susceptibility in normal individuals. Genotyping for theTNF-308 polymorphism may thus contribute to screening of individuals deemed at risk of developing irritant contact dermatitis.

    Notes: Abstract Risk of critical illness is determined both by genetic and environmental influences, particularly those relating to infectious and cardiovascular diseases. Physiologically-based scoring systems cannot measure prior risk because they do not quantify physiological reserve independently of the acute illness. Genetic profiling could be useful for risk assessment. Early detection of critical illness involves identifying physiological ’triggers' for referral; this requires the education of nursing and medical staff in their significance. Analysis of the relationship between risk factors and interventions may need complex modelling techniques. Therapeutic strategies depend on the nature of the underlying problem: the most useful are likely to be those which enhance tissue oxygen delivery and resistance to infection.

They had a similar perinatal course and associated clinical manifestations. No associated congenital or inherited malformation syndrome could be defined. Both infants’ parents were first degree cousins and belonged to the same small Bedouin tribe, and neither they nor the infants’ siblings had polycystic kidneys or renal insufficiency, pointing to either a possible genetic etiology or a common external toxic exposure.

    Notes: Abstract Thanks to the World Wide Web, most results of research in genetics are made available in public databases. At the present time there are resources on genetic diseases, genes and their location, mutations of already cloned genes and on laboratories performing the mutation analysis. The main resources on phenotypes are On-line Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), Pedbase, GeneClinics, London Dysmorphology Database (LDDB) and Orphanet. The main resources on human genes are, in addition to OMIM, the Genome Database, Genatlas and Genecard. There are also two major sequence databases. All of them can be queried using the OMIM number of the disease. Central databases of mutations, as well as locus specific databases have been created. Their list is maintained at the Human Genome Organisation mutation database initiative website. Several initiative have been taken to integrate all these data and help the clinician to find out quickly what he/she needs. The website of the National Center for Biotechnology Information is the best example of such an effort with sections on diseases, a genome guide, and locus links. Several databases of genetic testing resources have been established. GeneTests is an on-line genetics resource that contains a directory of North American laboratories providing testing for heritable disorders. Orphanet is a similar database on French services which is in the process of becoming a European database. Conclusion Even if clinicians do not have as many services at their disposal as the molecular geneticists, various useful databases already exist and should no longer be ignored in practice.

    Notes: Abstract Over the last decade mild hyperhomocysteinaemia has widely been recognised as a new risk factor for arteriosclerosis and thrombosis. Main regulating enzymes of homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism are cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), methionine synthase and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). Early studies on patients with vascular disease described elevated Hcy concentrations after methionine loading and decreased CBS activity, resembling heterozygotes for CBS deficiency. Therefore, heterozygosity for CBS deficiency was proposed as the main cause of mild hyperhomocysteinaemia. However, more recent enzymatic and molecular genetic studies have demonstrated that heterozygosity for CBS deficiency is not or only a very minor cause of mild hyperhomocysteinaemia in vascular disease. We discovered two common genetic causes of mild hyperhomocysteinaemia, the 677C 〉 T and the 1298A 〉 C mutations in the coding region of MTHFR. The 677C 〉 T mutation causes reduced enzyme activity with thermolabile protein properties, elevated Hcy and low-normal or decreased plasma folate levels. The 1298A 〉 C mutation relates also to decreased enzyme activity, but not to thermolabile protein, and Hcy and folate levels are not influenced. However, compound heterozygosity for these two mutations, i.e. individuals with the 677CT/1298AC genotype, have elevated Hcy and decreased plasma folate levels. Gene-enviroment interactions between 677C 〉 T and folate is demonstrated in individuals with the 677TT genotype. Those with low-normal folate have elevated Hcy, whereas those with high-normal folate have normal Hcy concentrations. The elevated Hcy levels due to these mutations can be normalised by administration of folate, but whether folate reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease remains to be established. Conclusion Heterozygosity for cystathionine β-synthase deficiency is a minor cause of hyperhomocysteinaemia. The current data on mutations in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene do not tell us whether elevated plasma homocysteine plays a causal role in vascular disease. Low cellular vitamin status may be a possible cause and homocysteine may just be a marker for this situation.

    Notes: Abstract The epidemic diffusion of obesity in industrialised countries has promoted research on the aetiopathogenesis of this disorder. The purpose of this review is to focus mainly on the contribution that European research has made to this field. Available evidence suggests that obesity results from multiple interactions between genes and environment. Parents obesity is the most important risk factor for childhood obesity. Twin, adoption, and family studies indicated that inheritance is able to account for 25% to 40% of inter-individual difference in adiposity. Single gene defects leading to obesity have been discovered in animals and, in some cases, confirmed in humans as congenital leptin deficiency or congenital leptin receptor deficiency. However, in most cases, genes involved in weight gain do not directly cause obesity but they increase the susceptibility to fat gain in subjects exposed to a specific environment. Both genetic and environmental factors promote a positive energy balance which cause obesity. The relative inefficiency of self-adapting energy intake to energy requirements is responsible for fat gain in predisposed individuals. The role of the environment in the development of obesity is suggested by the rapid increase of the prevalence of obesity accompanying the rapid changes in the lifestyle of the population in the second half of this century. Early experiences with food, feeding practices and family food choices affect children's nutritional habits. In particular, the parents are responsible for food availability and accessibility in the home and they affect food preferences of their children. Diet composition, in particular fat intake, influences the development of obesity. The high energy density and palatability of fatty foods as well as their less satiating properties promotes food consumption. TV viewing, an inactivity and food intake promoter, was identified as a relevant risk factor for obesity in children. Sedentarity, i.e. a low physical activity level, is accompanied by a low fat oxidation rate in muscle and a low fat oxidation rate is a risk factor of fat gain or fat re-gain after weight loss. Conclusion Further research is needed to identify new risk factors of childhood obesity, both in the genetic and environmental areas, which may help to develop more effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of obesity.

    Notes: Abstract The mechanisms underlying motor neuron degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are not fully understood. Recent studies suggest that apoptosis is involved in the abnormal neural death that occurs in this devastating disease. Presenilin-1, a transmembrane protein, seems to be implicated in apoptosis. To determine whether presenilin-1 intron 8 polymorphism has an influence in the course of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, we examined this polymorphism genotypes in a large group of patients (n=72) with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and in a random sample of 213 healthy individuals. The results showed a significant difference in genotype (P 〈 0.04) and allele (P 〈 0.03) distribution between patients and controls. These results suggest a possible intervention of presenilin-1 in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

    Notes: Abstract This review describes differing profiles of vascular risk factors in different types of dementia. Although vascular risk factors are related to various types of strokes, their independent effect on the occurrence of poststroke dementia appears to be small. Various risk factors have been identified for microangiopathy-related cerebral abnormalities, such as white matter changes and lacunae, which are the core lesions for the development of a vascular dementia syndrome without stroke symptoms. Most consistently, arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus have been found to be associated with such brain abnormalities. Diastolic blood pressure seems to be of particular importance as recent investigations demonstrate that this factor is related to the course of multiple lacunar strokes and the progression of white matter disease. Epidemiological studies report that various vascular risk factors including arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and atrial fibrillation may also be associated with Alzheimer’s disease. There is also evidence of a direct relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and general atherosclerosis. Further investigations are needed to determine whether these associations are due to the weakness of diagnostic criteria, or whether vascular risk factors indeed modulate the clinical expression of primary degenerative dementia. Common susceptibility genes leading to shared risk factors may be one of the reasons for a higher coincidence of Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia than can be expected by chance. A modulatory effect of vascular risk factors in the development of primary degenerative dementia may extend treatment options.

    Notes: Abstract Monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) metabolises dopamine and activates neurotoxins known to induce parkinsonism in humans and primates. Therefore the MAOB gene (MAOB; Xp15.21–4) is a candidate gene for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Longer length dinucleotide repeat sequences in a highly polymorphic GT repeat region of intron 2 of this gene showed an association with PD in an Australian cohort. We repeated this allele-association study in a population of 176 Chinese PD patients ¶(90 men, 86 women) and 203 age-matched controls (99 men, 104 women). Genomic DNA was extracted from venous blood and the polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify the appropriate regions of the MAOB gene. The length of each (GT) repeat sequence was determined by 5% polyacrylamide denaturing gel electrophoresis. There was no significant difference in allele frequencies of the (GT) repeat allelic variation between patients and controls (χ2 = 2.48; df = 5, P 〈 0.75). Therefore the longer length GT repeat alleles are not associated with PD in this Chinese population. Possible reasons for the discrepancy between Chinese and Australian populations include a different interaction between this genetic factor and environmental factors in the two populations and the possibility that the long length GT repeat alleles may represent a marker mutation, genetically linked to another susceptibility allele in whites but not in Chinese. Methodological differences in the ascertainment of cases and controls in this cohort could also explain the observed differences. Further study is required to determine whether the longer length GT repeat alleles are true susceptibility alleles in PD.

    Notes: Abstract Genetic studies have detected an association between the presence of the τ gene A0 allele and patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). This study examined whether patients with this polymorphism exhibit distinct demographic or clinical characteristics. We studied 26 patients who fulfilled clinical criteria for the diagnosis of PSP, 20 who had the A0/A0 genotype and 6 who had other genotypes. A questionnaire on demographic data, past medical history, familial history, and initial symptoms was completed as part of the consultation. A complete neurological examination was performed and PSP symptoms were quantified following Golbe’s PSP disability scale. We found a significant difference in the age at onset of PSP symptoms, which was 65.9 ± 5.3 years in the A0/A0 group and 71.2 ± 5.6 in the non-A0/A0 group (P = 0.016). There were no significant differences in the years from disease onset between the two groups. Symptom severity did not differ significantly in patients with the different A0/A0 genotypes. The detection of significantly lower age at onset with the A0/A0 alleles is consistent with the known association of this genotype as a risk factor for PSP. No significant differences were detected in symptom severity between the two groups of patients.

    Notes: Abstract We found that 19% (9/47) of healthy siblings of patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis had an intrathecal immunological reaction with two or more 2 CSF-enriched oligoclonal bands (OCBs), in contrast to (4%) (2/50) unrelated healthy controls. Furthermore, in this group of nine healthy sibs the measles CSF IgG antibody titers were higher than that of the other sibs and that of controls. There were also differences in the serum titers for measles IgG antibody, which were higher in the group of all healthy sibs than in healthy volunteers, and (as with CSF titers) higher in the subgroup of healthy sibs with two or more 2 CSF-enriched OCBs than the other sibs. Thus a significant proportion of healthy siblings to MS patients have a partially hyperimmune condition similar to that occurring in MS, which in 19% manifested itself as an OCB reaction, in 9% as increased CSF measles IgG antibody titers, and in 21% as increased serum measles IgG antibody titers, these phenomena tending to occur in the same individuals. This condition is characterized by CSF-enriched OCBs with undefined specificity, although some increased antiviral reactivity is found both in the serum and CSF. While it needs further characterization, a genetic trait interacting with common infections is suggested. The recurrence risk of this condition is approximately five times higher than the 3–4% recurrence risk for manifest MS reported for sibs.

    Notes: Abstract  The new millennium beckons for novel advances in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric neurosurgical conditions. Almost every aspect of pediatric neurosurgery has changed over the last decade. Undoubtedly with the application of knowledge in molecular biology to human disease many aspects of neurosurgery, especially neuro-oncology and the field of neuro-developmental anomalies, will change appreciably over the next decade. Overall, the trend in surgery in general and neurosurgery in particular is toward less invasive procedures and possibly non-surgical interventions. This review will briefly cover many of the important areas of pediatric neurosurgery. We will describe the state-of-the-art of our subspecialty and discuss possible future directions.

    Notes: Abstract  The (in)compatibility genotypes of two self-compatible sweet cherry selections, JI 2420 and JI 2434, originating from the John Innes Institute were re-examined. The selections and seedlings derived from them were analysed for stylar ribonucleases, which are known to correlate with S alleles, and the outcome of test crosses was recorded. JI 2420, which had been reported previously as S 3 S 4 ", where " indicates loss of pollen activity, was deduced to have the genotype S 4 S 4 ’. For JI 2434, which had been reported previously as S 3 S 4 0 , S 3 S 3 0 or S 3 S 3 ", where 0 indicates loss of pollen and stylar activity, two different clones were identified. One, at East Malling, was deduced to be S 3 "S 4 ; the other, at Ahrensburg, appeared to be S 3 S 3 " or S 3 S 3 0 .

    Notes: Abstract  An enriched microsatellite library of the mangrove species Avicennia marina was constructed, in which 85.8% of the clones contained microsatellite sequences. Of the microsatellite repeat sequences isolated, 55.0% were di-nucleotides, 34.2% were tri-nucleotides, 50.0% were perfect, 24.2% were imperfect, and 15.0% were compound. Four different di-nucleotide repeats were isolated with repeat lengths ranging from 5 to 33; ten different tri-nucleotide repeats were isolated with repeat lengths ranging from 3 to 25. The most common di-nucleotide was the AC/TG repeat; the most common tri-nucleotide was the CCG/GGC repeat. Sixteen microsatellite sequences were selected for primer design, and 6 primers were selected to investigate the polymorphism detected among 15 individuals of A. marina from three natural populations in Australia. A total of 40 alleles were detected at 6 microsatellite loci. The number of alleles per microsatellite locus ranged from 5 to 13. On average, 7 alleles were detected per locus. All microsatellite loci showed high levels of gene diversity (heterozygosity), with values ranging from 0.53 to 0.88; the mean value of gene diversity was 0.70. Microsatellite loci were also tested for conservation across Avicennia species. There was a decline in amplification success with increasing divergence between Avicennia species. The results indicate that microsatellites are abundant in the Avicennia genome and can be valuable genetic markers for assessing the effects of deforestation and forest fragmentation in mangrove communities, which is an important issue for mangrove conservation and afforestation schemes.

    Notes: Abstract In the search for genetic factors contributing to tardive dyskinesia, dopamine receptor genes are considered major candidates. The dopamine D3 receptor is of primary interest as dopamine D3 receptor knock-out mice show locomotor hyperactivation resembling extrapyramidal side-effects of neuroleptic treatment. Furthermore, Steen and colleagues (1997) recently reported an association between tardive dyskinesia and a dopamine D3 receptor gene variant. In the present study we tried to replicate this finding. We investigated 157 patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder receiving long-term neuroleptic medication who never or persistently displayed tardive dyskinesia. As advanced age is a main risk factor for tardive dyskinesia, we also compared older patients with a long duration of schizophrenia not displaying tardive dyskinesia to younger patients with a shorter duration of the illness displaying tardive dyskinesia. However, we found no evidence that the dopamine D3 receptor gene is likely to confer susceptibility to the development of tardive dyskinesia.

    Notes: Abstract An association between long alleles of a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the dopamine receptor D4 gene and the extraversion related personality traits Excitement and Novelty Seeking has been reported in healthy subjects. In an attempt to replicate the previous findings, 256 healthy Caucasian volunteers were analysed for a potential relationship between the dopamine receptor D4 exon III VNTR polymorphism and Extraversion as assessed by the Revised Neo Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R). The present study did not yield evidence for an association between Extraversion and the dopamine receptor D4 polymorphism.

    Notes: Abstract An increased amount of the intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) 1 molecule has been found in the blood of actively relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, but is unclear whether this enhanced expression is partially causative of the MS process, or whether it is merely an epiphenomenon of the inflammatory-immunological reaction. Using the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT), we studied exon 4 and exon 6 polymorphism of the ICAM-1 gene from 157 families with both parents, one affected and one healthy sib coming from Sardinia, an Italian island having a high incidence and prevalence of MS. TDT did not show variation in the expected 50:50 frequency in transmission in either healthy or affected sibs, using phenotypic or genotypic analysis. Moreover, independence from the predisposing HLA-DRB1-DQA1-DQB1 haplotype was confirmed by TDT analysis performed on the patients stratified according to the presence or absence of the HLA-DRB1, DQA1, DQB1 Sardinian predisposing haplotypes. Our data suggest that the increased expression of the ICAM-1 molecule observed in both blood and periplaque microvessels may be considered a consequence of the inflammatory process rather than the result of a genetic variation.

    Notes: Abstract  The potato cultivar ’Shepody’ is susceptible to a number of potato viruses including potato virus Y (PVY, potyvirus) but was found to possess extreme resistance to another potyvirus, potato virus A (PVA). ’Shepody’ plants were resistant to PVA infection in manual and graft inoculations. PVA replication was not detected in any of the inoculated plants by ELISA, an infectivity assay and RT-PCR. However, ’Shepody’ plants grafted with shoots containing PVA developed a novel symptomology which resembled a virus infection in appearance and in rate of translocation to the entire plant. Efforts to transmit the symptom-inducing agent manually failed. Graft-inoculation to potato virus indicator plants and PVA-susceptible potato plants showed that the symptom inducer was PVA at an extremely low concentration, detected using RT-PCR followed by Southern blot assay. Tubers from grafted but resistant ’Shepody’ plants had necrotic surfaces and internal spots. PVA was detected from necrotic areas but not from the non-necrotic ones. However, plants resulting from necrotic tubers were free from aerial leaf symptoms observed in grafted plants and produced non-necrotic normal tubers. A trace-back of the parental lineage of ’Shepody’ indicated that the resistance had been introgressed from the cultivar ’Bake King’. Analysis of progeny of a cross of resistant ’Shepody’ to the susceptible ’Goldrus’ indicated that this resistance is controlled by two independent dominant complementary genes in contrast to monogenic resistance reported for other potato viruses.

    Notes: Abstract The importance of visual evoked potential (VEPs) and electroencephalography for diagnosing and distinghishing the infantile (INCL), late-infantile (LINCL) and juvenile (JNCL) forms of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) is well established. Variant forms with protracted clinical courses and atypical symptoms have been described recently, whose neurophysiological characteristics sometimes overlap those of LINCL and JNCL. It is unclear whether these variant forms are due to phenotypic variability of known genetic defects, or represent new mutations. Twenty-eight NCL patients have been diagnosed at our institute; a proportion of them were investigated genetically. In 17 we performed neurophysiological investigations including VEPs, brainstem auditory (BAEP) and upper limb somatosensory (SEP) evoked potentials. We found typical and diagnostic electrophysiological involvement of the visual system in 8 patients with classic forms of NCL. Furthermore, the distinctive features of the multimodal evoked potentials in most of the six patients with variant NCL suggest that these are distinct genetic entities.

    Notes: Abstract We performed a clinical and genetic study of patients affected by cavernous angiomas (CA) of the nervous system. We examined initial signs and symptoms in sporadic and familial cases. We obtained clinical, neuroimaging and genetic data on 15 Italian patients with CA of the nervous system with positive, doubtful or apparently negative family history. Genetic markers surrounding three different gene regions (7q, 3q and 7p) were analysed. In one small family, genetic linkage was consistent with all chromosome loci. In another family with the unusual association of cerebral and spinal CA, linkage with chromosome 7q and, likely, 7p was excluded, while linkage with locus 3q was possible. Our results indicate that Italian families with CA may show genetic heterogeneity. Non-specific and subtle onset symptoms hide the presence of CA within families. Patients with multiple CA may have silent cerebral lesions confirming the low penetrance of clinical signs in spite of radiological ones.

    Notes: Abstract We present the clinical profile of a group of patients with myoclonus and dystonia sensitive to alcohol and address these cases in the context of essential myoclonus. Six patients from 4 families were selected: 4 men and 2 women with myoclonus affecting predominantly the arms. Active movements of these segments elicited the dystonic and myoclonic movements. A marked improvement with alcohol intake was seen. Laboratory findings including EEG, SSEP, and cranial CT and MRI were normal. Surface EMG recording showed bursts with duration of 30–112 ms in 3 patients. One patient showed a triphasic recording pattern (agonist-antagonist-agonist) of ballistic type. Our findings suggest that the myoclonus-dystonia disorder is present in Brazilian patients.

    Notes: Summary We investigated the association of HLA-DPB1 alleles with the occurrence of autoantibodies against Ro (SS-A) or La (SS-B) using recombinant 52kD-Ro, 60 kD-Ro and La proteins in 177 German patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A significant increase in the frequency of DPB1 *0101 is observed in SLE patients compared to healthy controls (P corr.〈0.004). Antibodies against 52 kD-Ro, 60 kD-Ro and La are tested by ELISA and are found with a frequency of 25.4%, 33.9% and 17.5% in the patients, respectively. An association with HLA-DPB1 *0101 is observed for antibodies against La (P〈0.01) and 52 kD-Ro (P〈0.01), but not for 60 kD-Ro in the absence of La/52 kD-Ro. Since there is a strong linkage disequilibrium between DPB1 *0101 and DR3 in the normal population and in SLE patients, and since there is an association between DR3 and SLE, as well as between DR3 and the occurrence of recombinant Ro/La antibodies in SLE patients, we investigated whether DPB1 *0101 is associated per se or via linkage disequilibrium with DR3. DPB1 *0101 in the absence of DR3 is not more common in patients than in controls and not in patients with autoantibodies to Ro and La than without antoantibodies. We conclude that there is no evidence for a direct involvement of DPB1 *0101 in the production of Ro/La autoantibodies in SLE patients.

    Notes: Summary The clinical features of Friedreich's ataxia are described and reevaluated in a group of 14 German patients from 9 independent families. In contrast to previous studies, demonstration of linkage to the Friedreich's ataxia locus (FRDA) on chromosome 9p allowed confirmation of the genetic homogeneity of the disease in the patients under study. Marked variability within families was observed for age of onset of the disease (4–24 years) and for age of becoming wheelchair bound (17–37 years). Electrocardiographic changes were present in all and echocardiographic changes in 50% of the patients. Pathological changes of visual evoked potentials were detected in only 50% of the patients while brainstem auditory evoked potentials and somatosensory evoked potentials were always abnormal.

More EA was recorded in female siblings (28% :18%) and in siblings of female patients (56% :20%). All EA was seen in the age range 5–14 years. Siblings with occipital theta-delta activity with a generalization tendency showed more EA (59%) than those without this pattern (8%). Of the siblings of patients with generalized EA 50% showed EA, but only 25% of those of patients with localized EEG patterns.

    Notes: Summary Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is characterized by decreased levels of glucose 6-phosphate in skeletal muscle. It has been suggested that the lower concentrations of glucose 6-phosphate contribute to the defect in glucose metabolism noted in muscle tissue of subjects with Type 2 diabetes or subjects at increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Lower levels of glucose 6-phosphate could be due to a defect in glucose uptake, or phosphorylation, or both. Hexokinase II is the isozyme of hexokinase that is expressed in skeletal muscle and is responsible for catalysing the phosphorylation of glucose in this tissue. The recent demonstration that mutations in another member of this family of glucose phosphorylating enzymes, glucokinase, can lead to the development of Type 2 diabetes prompted us to begin to examine the possible role of hexokinase II in the development of this genetically heterogeneous disorder. As a first step, we have cloned the human hexokinase II gene (HK2) and mapped it to human chromosome 2, band p13.1, by fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes. In addition, we have identified and characterized a simple tandem repeat DNA polymorphism in HK2 and used this DNA polymorphism to localize this gene within the genetic linkage map of chromosome 2.

    Notes: Summary Epidemiologic data suggest that a parental history of Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus increases the risk of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes in siblings of a Type 1 diabetes proband. This increase in risk is consistent with a shared genetic susceptibility between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. We have previously reported evidence that HLA-DR4-linked factors may represent a homogeneous subset of diabetes susceptibility. First, HLA-DR4 frequency was higher in Type 1 diabetic study subjects with a Type 2 diabetic parent than in Type 1 diabetic subjects whose parents were not diabetic. Second, a DR4-haplotype was transmitted from the Type 2 diabetic parent to the Type 1 offspring more often than expected. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that families with a Type 2 diabetic parent and Type 1 diabetic child, heavily determined by HLA-DR4 linked factors, may represent a homogeneous subset of diabetes susceptibility. In this report, we further explore the relationship between the high-risk HLA antigen (HLA-DR4) in study subjects with differing glycaemic status (National Diabetes Data Group criteria). In this community-based study, we find evidence that HLA-DR4 is increased in study subjects with Type 2 diabetes and may be a marker for Type 2 diabetes susceptibility.

We describe the transmission of histotopochemically proven HD from a father with long aganglionic segment disease to a son with ultrashort segment disease. This observation suggests that the length of involvement in HD is related to the variable expression of the gene defect. It also suggests autosomal dominant inheritance of HD.

    Notes: Abstract Androgen insensitivity syndromes represent one cause of human male pseudohermaphroditism related to defects in the androgen receptor. The formation of a biologically active androgen receptor complex with testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone is required for normal androgen action during fetal development and fifferentiation of the internal accessory sex glands and external genitalia. Cloning of the human androgen receptor complementary DNA and genetic screening of human subjects with the clinical and biochemical features of androgen insensitivity using the polymerase chain reaction, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and nucleotide sequencing techniques have led to the identification of molecular defects in the androgen receptor. The complexity of phenotypic presentation by affected subjects with the complete or partial forms of androgen insensitivity is represented by the heterogeneity of androgen receptor gene mutations which include deletions and point mutations, with the latter causing, inappropriate splicing of RNA, premature termination of transcription and amino acid substitutions. The naturally occurring mutations in the androgen receptor of subjects with androgen insensitivity represent a base upon which we can increase our understanding of the structure and function of the androgen receptor in normal physiology, and disease.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of the current study was to investigate genetic differences between two inbred strains of rats, Fisher-344 (F344/N) and Wistar Albino Glaxo (WAG/GSto), in a number of drug-naive and drug-related behaviors, including oral and intravenous morphine self-administration. F344/N and WAG/GSto rats differed in drug-naive behaviors such as nociception, rearing and sensitivity to lick suppression tests but did not differ in locomotor activity, ambulation or grooming behavior. F344/N rats were less sensitive to thermal stimuli as measured via tail-flick response, and more sensitive to the suppressive effects of intermittent shock in a lick suppression test. The F344/N rats demonstrated a significantly greater amount of rearing in open field tests but did not differ from WAG/GSto rats in locomotor activity, ambulation or grooming behavior. In addition to the behavioral results, naive F344/N and WAG/GSto rats were found to differ in μ and α2 receptor concentrations (F344/N〉WAG/GSto) and in 5HT2 and D2 affinity constants (WAG/GSto〉F344/N). These two inbred rat strains also differed in drug-related behaviors. F344/N rats showed significantly greater depression of locomotor activity at morphine 3 mg/kg than WAG/GSto rats. In addition, F344/N rats consumed significantly greater amounts of morphine in a two-bottle choice procedure and morphine maintained significantly greater amounts of behavior during intravenous self-administration sessions. Importantly, drug maintained behavior was significantly greater than with vehicle only in the F344/N rats during operant self-administration sessions.

    Notes: Summary Linkage analysis has been successful in identifying the genetic basis of numerous Mendelian diseases. These successes were due in part to the rapid developments in molecular biology, which have yielded a plethora of informative genetic markers. Although there is strong evidence that the manifestation of schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorders is controlled by genes, no evidence for linkage has been established. For psychiatric disorders, the most important limiting factor is likely to be the lack of single loci with very large effects that occur with any relevant frequency. The difficulties of linkage studies in psychiatric disorders are discussed with reference to non-psychiatric genetic diseases for which linkage to genetic markers has been successful. Recommendations for collecting information to clarify the patterns of transmission of the psychiatric disorders are described.

    Notes: Summary Statistical procedures and molecular genetic techniques have attained a fine degree of resolution. Their ability to find disease genes has revolutionized medicine and raised hopes for breakthroughs in psychiatry. However, such breakthroughs may require an equally discriminating nosology. A psychiatric genetic nosology seeks to classify patients into categories that correspond to distinct genetic entities by addressing the problem of diagnostic accuracy: the degree to which a diagnosis correctly classifies people with and without a putative genetic illness. We review methods that deal with misclassification in genetic studies. These are clinical and epidemiological approaches that deal directly with how to define the observable manifestation of a putative genotype. We discuss two groups of methods: those that use known phenotypes and those that design new phenotypes.

    Notes: Summary The genetics of salinity tolerance in rice was investigated by a nine-parent complete diallel including reciprocals. Test materials involved susceptible (IR28, IR29, and MI-48), moderately tolerant (IR4595-4-1-13, IR9884-54-3-1E-P1, and IR10206-29-2-1), and tolerant (“Nona Bokra”, “Pokkali”, and SR26B) parents. Twoweek-old seedlings were grown in a salinized (EC = 12 dS/m) culture solution for 19 days under controlled conditions in the IRRI phytotron. Typical characteristics of salinity tolerance in rice were found to be Na+ exclusion and an increased absorption of K+ to maintain a good Na-K balance in the shoot. Genetic component analysis (GCA) revealed that a low Na-K ratio is governed by both additive and dominance gene effects. The trait exhibited overdominance, and two groups of genes were detected. Environmental effects were large, and the heritability of the trait was low. Our findings suggest that when breeding for salt tolerance, selection must be done in a later generation and under controlled conditions in order to minimize environmental effects. Modified bulk and single-seed descent would be the suitable breeding methods. Combining ability analysis revealed that both GCA and specific combining ability (SCA) effects were important in the genetics of salt tolerance. Moderately tolerant parents — e.g., IR4595-4-1-13 and IR9884-54-3-1E-P1 — were the best general combiners. Most of the best combinations had susceptible parents crossed either to moderate or tolerant parents. The presence of reciprocal effects among crosses necessitates the use of susceptible parents as males in hybridization programs. Large heterotic effects suggest the potential of hybrid rice for salt-affected lands.

    Notes: Abstract Molecular markers at 103 loci were used to identify the location of quantitative sources of resistance to Exserohilum turcicum in 150 F2∶3 lines of a B52/Mo17 maize population. Host-plant response was measured in terms of the average number of lesions per leaf, the average percent leaf tissue diseased (severity), and the average size of lesions. The location of quantitative trait loci were compared with three loci having known qualitative effects, namely Ht1, Ht2 and bx1. Chromosomal regions containing the Ht1 and Ht2 loci showed a small contribution in determining lesion size, even though alleles with dominant, qualitative effects at these loci have never been reported in either inbred parent. Similar effects were not observed for the number of lesions or for disease severity. Likewise, some contribution was observed for chromosomal regions encompassing the bx1 locus in determining lesion size but not the number of lesions or disease severity. Overall the contribution of loci in the vicinity of Ht1, Ht2 and bx1 was small relative to variation attributable to loci with quantitative effects identified in this study. Molecular-marker-facilitated mapping concurred with previous reciprocal translocation mapping studies on the importance of chromosomes 3, 5 and 7, despite the fact that these studies utilized diverse sources of resistant germplasm.

    Notes: Summary We have improved zygote recovery 11–1,000 fold by optimizing the physiology of gamete release and mating inAcetabularia acetabulum. Gamete release was affected by agar purity, concentration, and volume/gametangial pair. Cold pre-treatment of gametangia (14–30 d at 10°C in the dark) synchronized subsequent gamete release at 21°C in the light. Cold pre-treatment was nearly twice as effective in synchronizing subsequent gamete release when intact, gametangia-bearing caps rather than isolated gametangia were pretreated. Synchronizing gamete release doubled mating efficiency. In a wild-type laboratory strain ofA. acetabulum, there were 1,561±207 gametes/gametangium which had half-lives of 14.5 d in 0.1% seawater-agar. We recovered 48–93% of the expected numbers of zygotes from a mass mating of 8 to 1,226 gametangia and 11–128% of the expected numbers of zygotes from mating single gametangial pairs: the large range in the calculated mating efficiency may be attributable to the variation in the numbers of gametes made per gametangium. Zygote recovery from single gametangial pairs was highly dependent on the volume of mating matrix. In addition, most zygotes recovered were unattached to any other zygotes in the subsequent generation (〉 95% single cells from matings of 1–500 gametangial pairs). Our improvements in mating conditions and zygote recovery (1) have facilitated cell manipulation and culture ofA. acetabulum in the laboratory; and (2) have made controlled crosses for selection and genetic analysis of mutants feasible. These advances have removed a major barrier to genetic analysis of development inAcetabularia.

    Description / Table of Contents: Dielektrizitätskonstante (ε′) nd dielektrischer Verlust (ε″) von drei Carboxymethylcellulose-Proben mit verschiedenem Substitutions- und Polymerisationsgrad wurden im Frequenzbereich 0,1 - 10000kHz bei Temperaturen zwischen 10 und 60oC gemessen. Im Gegensatz zu nativer Baumwollecellulose, die zwei Relaxztionsprozesse (β und γ) zeigt, wurde nur jeweils ein Relaxationsprozeß zwischen 0,1 und 1kHz gefundern. Die dielektrischen Eigenschaften hängen dabei nicht nur vo Substritutionsgrad, sondern auch vom gewichtsmittleren Polymerisationsgrad und der Homogenität der Substitution ab.
    Notes: The dielectric constant, ε′, and dielectric loss, ε″, were determined for three solid carboxymethyl cellulose samples having different levels of substitution and different degrees of polymerization over a frequency range of 0.1 - 10 000 kHz at temperatures from 10-60°C. In contrast to the two relaxation processes, γ and β, previously observed in native cotton cellulose, only one relaxation process within a frequency range of 0.1 - 1 kHz was identified. It was found that the dielectric properties do not only depend on the degree of substitution, but also on the weight-average degree of polymerization and uniformity of distribution.

    Description / Table of Contents: Naphthochinonderivate wurden als Elektronen- und Protonenüberträger in Polymermembranen für Redoxreaktionen eingesetzt. Eine solche, Vitamin K1 enthaltende Membran, läßt den Oxidations-Reduktions-Prozeß zwischen zwei wäßrigen Lösungen von Eisen(III) cyanid bzw. Natriumdithionit nur ziemlich langsam ablaufen. Ein effektiverer Überträger war Vitamin K3; die Reaktion verlief zunächst rasch, jedoch beiweideerholten Anwendungen immer langsamer, da ein Teil dieses, in senier reduzierten Form wasserlöslichen Überträgers während der Reaktion aus der Membran herausgelöst wurde. 2-Alkyloxy-1,4-naphthochinone wie z.B. das Hexyloxyderivat erwiesen sich als wirksame, die Reaktion unterstützende Elektronen- und Protonenüberträger, und in diesen Fällen führten wiederholte Anwendungen nicht zu Verzögerungen.
    Notes: A redox reaction was mediated by polymeric membranes which contain naphthoquinone derivatives as electron and proton carriers. When such a membrane containing vitamin K1 was placed between two aqueous solutions of potassium ferricyanide and sodium dithionite, the oxidation-reduction of them took place, but the reaction was rather slow. Although vitamin K3 was a more effective carrier and the reaction proceeded fast, the reaction rate decreased in the repeated runs. Since the reduced form of this carrier is slightly soluble in water, a part of the carrier got dissolved in the aqueous phase from the membrane during the reaction. 2-Alkyloxy-1,4-naphthoquinones such as 2-hexyloxy-1,4-naphthoquinone effectively transported electrons and protons through the polymeric membranes, promoting the membrane-mediated reaction; in these cases no retardation was observed in the repeated runs.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Kinetik der isothermen Kristallisation des anionisch hergestellten Copolyamids PA 8/12 aus ω-Octanlactam (OL) und ω-Laurinlactam (12-Dodecanlactam) (LL) wurde nach der Avrami-Gleichung über den gesamten Zusammensetzungsbereich mittels DSC untersucht. Die Kristallisationsparameter Halbwertszeit (t1/2), Avrami-Index (n), Geschwindigkeitskonstante (k) und Kristallinitätsgrad wurden für verschiedene Kristallisationstemperaturen bestimmt. Eine Beziehung dieser Parameter zur Copolyamidzusammensetzung sowie zu Kristallisations- und Unterkühlungstemperaturen wurde untersucht und die Ergebnisse diskutiert. Desweiteren wurden die Werte de hier behandelten mit denen der in der Literaturgeschriebenen Homopolymeren verglichen.
    Notes: The isothermal crystallization kinetics of the anionic copolyamides of ω-octanelactam (OL) with ω-laurolactam (LL) (nylon-8/nylon-12), covering a wide composition range (0/100 - 100/0 OL/LL, mol/mol), was established according to the Avrami equation by the use of differential scanning calorimetry. The crystallization parameters half-time crystallization (t1/2), Avrami index (n), rate constant (k), and reduced crystallinity were determined for various crystallization temperatures. These parameter values are correlated to the composition of the copolyamides, the crystallization and supercooling temperature, and the results are discussed.Differences in kinetic parameter values between the homopolymers of this paper and those for the hydrolytic nylon-8 and nylon-12 reported in literature were observed and discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abhängig von den Fällbedingungen tritt Poly(p-phenylen-1,3,4-oxadiazole) in zwei Modifikationen auf. Dies kann sowohl durch FTIR-Spektroskopie als auch mit Röntgenweitwinkelstreuung nachgewiesen werden. In beiden Fällen zeigt jede Modifikation charakteristische Peaks. Bei der Verarbeitung zu Fäden oder Filmen aus Lösungen in konzentrierter Schwefeläure durch Fällen in Wasser wird die im thermodynamischen Ungleichgweicht stehende β-Modifikation erhalten. Unter speziellen Bedingungen ist es möglich, die dreidimensional geordnete Gleichgewichtsstruktur direkt herzustellen. Verarbeitungsprodukte aus dieser α-Modifikation weisen merklich höhere Festigkeiten auf.
    Notes: Depending on the coagulation conditions, poly(p-phenylene-1,3,4-oxadiazole) in the solid state forms two modifications, as can be evidenced by FTIR spectroscopy and by wide-angle X-ray scattering curves (WAXS). In both cases each modification is detectable by characteristic peaks. Processing of fibers or films from solutions in concentrated sulfuric acid by coagulation in water results in the formation of a thermodynamically non-equilibrium form, defined as β-modification. Under special conditions it is possible to obtain the three-dimensionally ordered equilibrium α-structure that leads to processing products with markedly higher tenacities.

    Description / Table of Contents: By a new technique for the addition of monomers it is possible to increase the reproducibility of the synthesis of poly(1,4-phenylene-1,3,4-oxadiazoles) by one order of magnitude in relation to the known method, measured by the standard deviation of the relative viscosity of polymer solutions in concentrated sulfuric acid. This method leads to polymers with very high molecular weights under markedly milder reaction conditions and in shorter reaction times than by the classic method.The influence of the most important reaction parameters on the reaction rate and equilibrium of the polycondensation was investigated. An [η]/Mw-relation was established based on light-scattering and viscometric investigations of polymer solutions in concentrated sulfuric acid.
    Notes: Die Reproduzierbarkeit der Synthese von Poly(p-phenylen-1,3,4-oxadiazolen) in Oleum Kann durch eine veränderte Monomerzugabetechnik, gemessen an der Standardabweichung der relativen Lösungsviskosität, um eine Größenordunung verbessert werden. Die Polykondensation verläft unter deutlich milderen Bedingungen in kürzeren Reaktionszeiten zu Polymeren mit höheren Molmassen als nach der bekannten Methode.Der Einfluß verschiedener Parameter auf die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit und das Polykondensationsgleichgewicht wurde eingehend untersucht. Auf der Basis streulicht photometrischer und viskosimetrischer Messungen an Polymerlösungen in konzentrierter Schwefelsäure wurde eine [η]/Mw-Bezeihung ermittelt.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein hochvernetztes duroplastisches Epoxidharz wurde durch “reactive blending” in Gegenwart von Bisphenol A-Polycarbonat (PC) modifiziert. FTIR-Untersuchungen zeigten, daß der Umsatz nach dem Härtungs- und Nachhärtungsprozeß durch den PC-Anteil im Blend erniedrigt wird. Darüber hinaus wurde beobachtet, daß Bruch festigkeit des Blendsystems mit wachsendem PC-Gehalt merklich steigt. Für die Phasentrennung der Unterschußkomponente während der Vernetzung wurden keine Beweise gefunden.
    Notes: A highly crosslinked thermosetting epoxy resin was modified by a reactive blending process carried out in the presence of bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC). FTIR spectroscopy investigations demonstrated that the presence of PC in the blend decreases the reactants conversion after the curing and postcuring processes. Moreover, it was found that the fracture toughness of this blend system increases markedly by increasing the PC content in the blend. No evidence of phase separation of the minor component during the crosslinking reaction steps was observed.

    Description / Table of Contents: The permeability of gases in films and membranes of thermoplastic starch (TPS) was investigated. The permeability- and diffusion coefficients were measured with the time-lag method on films on TPS with different plasticizer contents and at different temperatures. The experimentally determined low permeabilities were comparable to those of synthetic polymers available on the market. TPS shows at low water activities permeabilities similar to good gasbarrier materials. With increasing water content - as it is already shown for other hydrophilic polymers - the gasbarrier property of TPS gets lost. Together with earlier works on the structure and the thermodynamical behaviour of the starch, the molecular parameters and their influence on the permeability were discussed.
    Notes: Als Alternative zu den heutigen Massenkunststoffen wurde die Möglichkeit eines Einsatzes von thermoplastischer Stärke (TPS) als Barrierewerkstoff in Filmen und Membranen untersucht. Die Permeations- und Diffusionskoeffizienten wurden mitels der Induktionszeit-Methode an Filmen aus TPS in Abhängigkeit von Temperatur und Weichmachergehalt ermitelt. Die expermentell gefundence gute Gasbarriereeigen schaft der Stärke gegenüber Sauerstoff und Stickstoff wurde durch vergleichende Messungen an Handelsprodukten ergänzt. Die TPS zeigt bei nieedrigen Wassergehalten denhandelsüblichen Barrierepolymeren vergleichbare Gaspermeationsraten. Mit steigen dem Wassergehalt verliert sie- wie die meisten hydrophilen Polymere - ihre Gasbarrierewirkung.Gemeinsam mit früheren Arbeiten über die Struktur und die Eigenschaften von thermoplastischer Stärke wurden die molekularen Parameter und ihr Einfluß auf die Gasdurchlässigkeit diskutiert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Phasengrenzflächenpolykondensation von 4,4'-Bis(mercaptomethyl)biphenyl mit ausgewählten aliphatischen und isomeren Phthalsäuredichloriden wurden neue Polythioester erhalten.Um die optimalen Bedingungen der Phasengrenzflächenploykondensation zu bestimmen, wurde der Einfluß folgender Faktoren auf die reduzierte Viskosität and die Ausbeute der Polythioester ermittelt: Art der organischen Phase, Konzentration der Reagenzien. Verhältnis der wässeigen zur organischen Phase, Art und Konzentration des HCI-Akzeptors, Reaktionstemperatur und -zeit. Die Polykondensation von Dithiol mit Adipinisäuredichlorid und Isophthalsäuredichlorid wurde als Modellsystem genauer untersucht. Die Polythioesterstrukturen wurden mittels Elementaranalyse, IR-Spektroskopie und Röntgenstrukturanalyse bestätigt. Aus der thermogravimetrischen Analyse wurde die Zersetzungstemperatur, der Gewichtsverlust bei dieser Temperatur und das Maximum der Zersetzungsgeschwindigkeit erhalten. Es wurden weiterhin einige physikalisch-chemische, mechanische und dielektrische Eigenschaften ermittelt. Aufgrund der schlechten Löslichkeit der Polythioester konnten die mittleren Molekulargewichte nicht bestimmt werden.
    Notes: New polythioesters were synthesized by interfacial polycondensation of 4,4'-bis(mercaptomethyl)biphenyl with selected aliphatic and isomeric phthaloyl dichlorides.To determine optimum polycondensation conditions, the influence of the following factors on reduced viscosity and yield were studied: type of organic phase, concentration of reagents, aqueous/organic phase ratio, type and concentration of hydrogen chloride acceptor, rate of acid chloride addition, reaction temperature and reaction time.A thorough examination was carried out only for the polycondensation of dithiol with adipoyl and isophthaloyl dichlorides chosen as a model system. The structures of polythioesters were confirmed by elemental analysis, X-ray analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The temperature of initial decomposition, the percentage of its mass loss, and temperature of the fastest decomposition process from curves of differential and thermogravimetric analysis were determined. Some physicochemical, mechanical and electrical properties were determined. The molecular weights were not measured because of the low solubility of the obtained polythioesters.

    Description / Table of Contents: Investigations on chemical coupling of heterogeneous polystyrene-polybutadiene blends were carried out using an organic sulfonylazide. The coupling process was realized in the melt mixing process on a laboratory melt kneader. The efficiency of the coupling agent was evaluated by IR-spectroscopical, microscopical, and dynamic-mechanical analysis and by mechanical properties of the blends. The graft copolymers forming in the melt cause an increase of the stress-strain properties and the impact strength of the blends.

Die Wirksamkeit des Kopplungsagens wurde anhand infrarotspektroskopischer, mikroskopischer und dynamisch-mechanischer Analysen sowie anhand des merchanischen Eigenschaftsbildes der Belends beurteilt. Die sich in der Schmelze bildenden Pfropfcopolymeren führen zu einer Erhöhung der Phasenwechselwirkungen un dami zu einer Verbesserung der Festigkeits- und Zähigkeits-eigenschaften der Blends.

    Description / Table of Contents: Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) were obtained by the simultaneous crosslinking of unsaturated polyester resins and Bisphenol A dicyanate. The copolymerization of the unsaturated polyester with styrene occurred according to the radical mechanism, whereas Bisphenol A dicyanate underwent a cyclotrimerization, thus forming a polytriazine (polycyanurate) network. The IPNs are characterized by elevated glass transition temperature and increased mechanical strength in comparison with corresponding unsaturated polyester resin without Bisphenol A dicyanate.
    Notes: Interpenetrierende Polymernetzwerke (IPN) wurden durch die gleichzeitige Vernetzung ungesättigter Polyesterharze und Dian-Dicyanat erhalten. Die Copolymerisation von ungesättigtem Polyester mit Styrol erfolgte nach dem radikalischen Mechanismus, während das Dian-Dicyanat cyclotrimerisierte, wodurch sich ein Polytriazin(Polycyanurant)- Netzwerk bildete. Die IPN zeichnen sich durch erhöhte Glastemperatur und mechanische Festigkeit im Vergleich zum entsprechenden ungesättigten Polyesterharz ohne Dian-Dicyanat-Zusatz aus.

    Description / Table of Contents: Simultaneous TG/DTA analysis has been used for determination of surface coating of CaCO3-filler with stearic acid (STS) or isopropyl triisostearoyl titanate (titanate). The method has been used for several model samples as well as for commercial fillers with surface coating concentrations of 0-2.7% for stearic acid and 0-4.0% for titanate. A reliable agreement of surface coating concentration of STS determined by simultaneous TG/DTA analysis and C-analysis was achieved if the temperature range of decomposition of the surface-modifying agent was taken into account. This was found for stearic acid between 180 and 450°C (〉1% STS at 500°C) and for titanate between 120 and 450°C (〉 1% titanate at 500°C) from the slopes of the TG- and DTA curves. The mass loss in the range of decomposition is equal to the concentration of surface coating in the case of STS. For titanate-modified fillers an amount of 10% of the mass loss must be added. For determination of surface coating of CaCO3-fillers having higher contents of humidity (〉 0.2%) it is necessary to know this amount, otherwise the STS determination has to be performed by oxidation heat.
    Notes: Zur Bestimmung des Modifikatorgehaltes von Stearinsäure(STS)-bzw. Isopropyltriisostearyltitanat(Titanat)-modifizierten CaCO3-Füllstoffen wurde die simultane TG/DTA-Analyse genutzt. die Methode wurde für Modellproben sowie für verschiedene kommerzielle Füllstoffe mit einem Konzentrationsbereich von 0 - 2,7% STS bzw. 0 - 4% Titanat angewendet. Eine ausreichende Übereinstimmung der Modifikatorkonzentrationen für STS, bestimmt durch simultane TG/DTA-Analyse sowie eine C-Analyse, wird erreicht, wenn der Zersetzungsbereich des Modifikators berücksichtigt wird. Dieser liegt für Stearinsäurezwischen180°C und 450°C (bei STS 〉 1% bei 500°C) und für Isopropyltriisostearyltitanat zwischen 120 und 450°C (Titanat 〉 1% bei 500°C) und wird aus dem Anstieg der TG-bzw. DTA-Kurve erhalten. Der diesem Zersetzungsbereich zuzuordnende Masseverlust entspricht bei STS-modifizierten Füllstoffen dem Stearinsäuregehalt. Bei Titanat-modifizierten CaCo3-Füllstoffen ist ein Betrag von 10% des Masseverlustes hinzuzufügen. Für die Modifikatorgehaltsbestimmung von CaCo3-Füllstoffen, die einen höheren Feuchtigkeitsgehalt (〈 0,2%) aufweisen, ist die Kenntnis dieser Größe notwendig, anderenfalls ist die STS-Bestimmung über die Oxidationswärme zu realisieren.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Entfernung von Methylorgane (MO) aus Wasser oder einer Pufferlösung (pH7) durch Adsorption and Reaktionsprodukten von Poly(gylcidylmethacrylat) (PGMA) mit Tetraethylenpentamin oder mit einem Polyethylenimin mit einem Molekulargewicht von 600 (PE1600) wurde untersucht. Das Adsorptionsverhalten läßt sich besser mit der Freundlich-Gleichung als mit der Klotz-Gleichung beschreiben. Adsorptionsgeschwindigkeit und adsorbierte Menge waren in Wasser größer als in der Pufferlösung, in der durch Salzbildung die Adsorption vermindert wird. Die adsorbierte Menge hängt nicht immer von der Menge der an PGMA gebundenen PE1600-Gruppen ab.
    Notes: A study was made of the removal of methyl orange (MO) solutes in water and in a pH 7 buffer solution by the reaction products of insoluble poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) with tetraethylenepentamine (TEP) or polyethylenimine (PEI) having molecular weight of about 600 (PEI600). An examination was made of the adaptability of the Freundlich adsorption formula and the Klotz equation to removal behaviour of these polymers, which was noted to conform better to the Klotz equation than to the Freundlich adsorption formula. The removal rate and the amount removed were greater in water than in a pH 7 buffer solution, and decreased due to coexisting salts. The amount removed does not always depend on the amount of PEI600 groups bound to PGMA.

    Description / Table of Contents: Das Zug-Dehnungs-Verhalten von verschiedenen Blends aus Poly(ethylen-co-vinylacetat) (EVA, 28 wt.-% VA-Anteil) und Polyethylen (LDPE) wurde bei unterschiedlichen Dehnungsgeschwindigkeiten und Temperaturen untersucht. Die Zug-Dehungs-Kurven solcher semikristalliner Polymerblends bestehen aus drei Teilen - elastischer oder Hookescher Bereich, Bereich des Aneinanderabgleitens der Ketten sowie Dehnungshärtungsbereich. Eine Verminderung der Dehnungsgeschwindigkeit bewirkt eine Vergrößerung des Dehnungshärtungsbereiches. Die Erhöhung der Meßtemperatur beeinflußt der Dehnungshärtung bei erhöhten Temperaturen vom Kristallschmelzpunkt der Hauptkomponente des Blends abhängt. Röntgen- und DSC-Untersuchun-gen zeigen, daß die Dehnungshärtung von einer Veränderung der Kristallistruktur in LDPE und LDPE-reichen Blends ausgeht, während sie in EVA und EVA-reichen Blends auf eine induzierte Kristallisation in der amorphen Phase zurückzuführen ist.
    Notes: Stress-strain behaviour of different blends of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) (28 wt.-% VA content) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) is studied under various strain rates and temperatures. It is found that stress-strain plots of such semicrystalline polymer blends consist of three parts, namely, elastic or Hookeian region, region of chain slippage and region of strain hardening. Decrease in strain rate has an increasing effect on the strain hardening region. Increase in measurement temperature adversely affects the whole stress-strain plot. It is apparent from the study that at an elevated temperature the process of strain hardening is dependent on the crystalline melting point of the major component in the blend. The X-ray and DSC studies reveal that the process of strain hardening is mainly due to a change in internal order of crystallites in LDPE and LDPE-rich blends, whereas in EVA and EVA-rich blends it is due to induced crystallization in the amorphous phase.

    Description / Table of Contents: Methylmethacrylat (MMA) mit einem Prepolymergehalt von 6-8% wurde mit unterschiedlichen Anteilen (1-20%) 2-Ethylhexylmethacrylat (EMMA), n-Hexylmethacrylat (HMA), 2-Ethylhexylacrylat (EHA) oder n-Hexylacrylat (HA) copolymerisiert. Aus den erhaltenen Copolymeren wurden Folien hergestellt, an denen der Einfluß der Copolymerstruktur auf Lichtdurchlässigkeit, Dichte und mechanische Eigenschaften ermittelt wurde. zugsfestigkeit and Speichermodul nahmen mit zunehmendem Comonomergehalt ab. Die Dehnung stieg im Fall von MMA/EHA- und MMA/HA-Copolymerfolien mit 15 und 20 Gew.-% Comonomeranteil merklich an. Mittels DMTA wurde die Erweichungstemperatur der Copolymeren bestimmt. Die HDT und die Erweichungstemperatur nahmen unter Biegebelastung mit steigendem Comonomergehalt de Copolymeren ab.
    Notes: The paper describes the fabrication of cast acrylic sheets by copolymerizing a prepolymer syrup of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with varying amounts (1-20 wt.-%) of 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate (EHMA), n-hexyl methacrylate (HMA), 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA) and n-hexyl acrylate (HA). The effect of structure of copolymer on light transmittance, density and mechanical properties was evaluated. Tensile strength and storage modulus decreased with increasing comonomer content. Strain increased significantly in the case of MMA/EHA and MMA/HA copolymer sheets having 15 and 20 wt.-% of comonomer. Softening temperature of copolymer samples was determined using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. Heat deflection temperature under flexural load and softening temperature decreased with increasing comonomer content in copolymer.

Daraus hergestellte lithographische Biler widerstanden noch bei 250°C thermischer Verformung. Die hergestellten siliciumhaltigen Resists wurden auch als oberste Schicht in zweischichtigen Materialien für die Anwendung in der Mikrolithographie untersucht.
    Notes: Poly[(N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)maleimide)-alt-(p-trimethylsilyl-α-methylstyrene)] (α-PHTMMS) and several N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)maleimide -alt-p-α-methylstyrene related copolymers were synthesized for novel positive near-UV resists containing diazonaphthoquinone sulfonate (DNS). The chain-stiffening effect of the maleimide group was responsible for high thermal resistance. Thus, a high glass transition temperature of 240°C and thermal decomposition temperature of 425°C were obtained. Lithographic positive images were obtained which resisted thermal deformation at 250°C. The prepared silicon-containing resists were also used as the top imaging layer of a bilayer resist for microlithographic application.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Polymerisation von Styrol in Anwesenheit von Fluoreszenzfarbstoffen, Derivaten des Benzanthrons, wurde untersucht. Die Abhängigkeit der Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit des Styrols vom Charakter des Farbstoffs wurde ermittelt. Spektrophotometrisch wurde festgestellt, daß 70-80% des Farbstoffs in das Polymere eingebaut werden, ohne daß dies zu einer bedeutenden Veränderung des Molekulargewichts und der Molekulargewichtsverteilung führt.
    Notes: The polymerization of styrene in the presence of some fluorescent dyes, benzanthrone derivatives, has been investigated. The dependence of the polymerization rate of styrene on the character of the dye was determined. It was found spectrophotometrically that 70 - 80% of the dye reacted in the polymerization, thus the coloured fluorescent polymers were obtained. They are resistant to wet treatment and decolouration by solvent. The incorporation of the dye into the polymer chain does not significantly affect the molecular weight and polydispersity of the coloured polymers.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Strahlungsvulkanisation von Naturgummilatex (NRL) mit n-Butylacrylat führt bei daraus hergestellten Filmen zu höheren Zugfestigkeiten. Die Alterungseigenschaften von strahlungsvulkanisiertem Naturgummi (RVNRL) wurden in Gegenwart unterschiedlicher Antioxidantien untersucht. Um für die Filme aus RVNRL geeignete Antioxidantien zu finden, wurde die Gelfraktion mit Xylol in Gegenwart von 1-Gew.-% Antioxidans unter einem Luftstrom extrahiert. Antioxidantien, die während der Extraktion einer durch oxidativen Abbau bedingten Verringerung des Gelanteils entgegenwirken, sind für die Alterungssuntersuchungen mit RVNRL geeignet. Es zeigte sich, daß Tris(nonylphenyl)phosphit (Nonflex TNP) und 2,5-Di-tert-amylhydrochinon (Antage DAH) unter 12 getesteten Antioxidantien am effektivsten waren.
    Notes: Radiation-vulcanization of natural rubber latex (NRL) with n-butyl acrylate gives a higher tensile strength for films obtained after casting. The ageing properties of radiation-vulcanized natural rubber in the presence of various antioxidants have been investigated. In order to find out suitable antioxidants for radiation-vulcanized natural rubber latex (RVNRL) films, extraction of the gel fraction was carried out in xylene with 1 wt.-% antioxidant and air bubbling. Antioxidants which give less reduction in gel fraction due to oxidative degradation during extraction are effective for ageing tests of RVNRL films. It was found that tris(nonylated phenyl) phosphite (Nonflex TNP) and 2,5-di-tert-amylhydroquinone (Antage DAH), among 12 different antioxidants tested, were the most effective antioxidants for RVNRL films.

    Description / Table of Contents: Stearinsäure bzw. Dibutylphthalat wurden als Adhäsionsverbesserer zu mit Calciumcarbonat gefüllten ternären Blends, bestehend aus einem Polyethylen/Poly(strol-co-divinylbenzol)-Interpolymeren und Polypropylen, zugegeben. Daraus wurden nach einem bereits beschriebenen Verfahren poröse Ionenaustauschermembranen (PIEM) hergestelt. Die Adhäsionsverbesserer führen dabei zu einer beträchtlichen Erhöhung des Porendurchmessers, da die Diffusion von Chlorsulfonsäure zu den Calciumcarbonatkörnern und damit die Bildung großer Mengen Kohlendioxid erleichtert wird. Andere PIEM-Eigenschaften werden nicht sigifikant beeinflußt.
    Notes: The previously described preparation of porous ion-exchange membranes (PIEM's) from the ternary blends of polyethylene interpolymer with poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) and polypropylene and calcium carbonate filler has been supplemented with the use of stearic acid and dibutyl phthalate as adhesion promoters. It was noted that both promoters govern the huge increase of pore diameter without any significant disturbances in the other PIEM's properties. The facilitating effect of chlorosulfonic acid diffusion toward calcium carbonate grains and large amounts of carbon dioxide volatilization was concluded. This is the basic point of pore creation to be discussed in this paper.

Charakteristische Eigenschaften der Membranen wei Porosität, spezifische Oberfläche, Porengröße, Wasserdurchlässigkeit und mechanische Eigenschaften wurden bestimmt. Ein niedriger Gehalt an N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidon verbessert die mechanischen Eigenschaften der Membranen. Der Mechanismus der Bildung der makroporösen Struktur und der Heterogenitäten wird diskutiert.
    Notes: Macroporous membranes based on terpolymers of 2,3-epoxypropylmethacrylate, N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, and ethylenedimethacrylate were prepared by radical suspension copolymerization and subsequently modified with ammonia. The membranes were characterized by their porosity, specific surface area, pore size, water permeability and mechanical properties. The low content of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone improves the mechanical properties of the membranes. The mechanism of formation of the macroporous structure and heterogeneities is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: The aim of the studies was to characterize the ultrafiltration properties of a variety of photochemically modified membranes, made by a new approach starting with two types of PAN-UF membranes and using nine aromatic azides bearing different more or less hydrophilic or hydrophobic substituents. The influence of the surface functionalization (hydrophilization, introduction of charges/hydrophobization) realized by this means onto the water permeability, the dextrane selectivity, and the permeabilities during and after UF, resp., after simple contact with solutions of ovalbumine and lysozyme was the major subject. Modified membranes made using the aryl azides with hydrophilic groups, 4-azidobenzoic acid, Ib, (4-azidophenyl)trimethylammonium iodide, If, sodium (4-azido)-benzene sulfonate, Id, showed enhanced water fluxes and reduced dextrane retention. All the other azides caused reduced water permeability, enhanced dextrane selectivity, and significant flux reductions as a consequence of contact with ovalbumin solutions (pH = 5.0). The strongest effects were achieved with the two expecially hydrophobic compounds, 2-naphthyl azide, Ih, and 2-naphthoyl azide, IX. On the other hand, a pronounced positive effect of photo-modification on the protein fouling behaviour became evident in the UF of lysozyme (0.05%, pH = 10.5). Using the membranes modified with Id a much higher filtrate flux (Jv = 48.1 l/m2h) was observed as compared with the original PAN membrane (Jv = 13.1 I/m2h). The perspectives and the limitations of the developed modification strategy are discussed.
    Notes: Nach einem neuartigen Verfahren mit Hilfe von neun, mit verschieden hydrophilen bzw. hydrophoben Substituenten synthetisierten aromatischen Aziden unterschiedlich photochemisch modifizierten Polyacrylnitril-Ultrafiltrations-Membranen wurden in UF-Versuchen charakterisiert. Dabei sollte der Einfluß der so erzielten Oberflächenfunktionalisierungen (Hydrophilierung, Einführung von Ladungen oder Hydrophobierung) auf das Trennverhalten (Wasserdurchläassigkeit und Selektivitäat für Dextrane, Permeabilität während und nach der UF bzw. nach einfachem Kontakt mit Ovalbuminund mit Lysozym-Lösungen) studiert werden. Die Modifizierung mit den Arylaziden, die hydrophile Gruppen enthalten (4-Azidobenzoäure, Ib, (4-Azidophenyl)-tri-methylammoniumiodid, If, Natrium-4-azidobenzolsuflfonat, Id), führt zu einer erhöhten Durchlässigkeit der Membranen für Wasser und Dextrane. Alle anderen Azide, darunter besonders stark die deutlich hydrophoben 2-Naphthoylazid, Ih, und 2-Naphthoylazid, IX, verringern die Wasserpermeabilität, erhöhen das Rückhaltevermögen für Dextrane und verstärken die Effekte der Wechselwirkungen mit Ovalbumin (pH = 5,0). Das wird in Flußreduzierungen verglichen mit der unmodifizierten PAN-UF-Membran sichtbar. Ein positiver Effekt der Photomodifizierung wird besonders deutlich bei der UF von Lyasozym (0,05%, pH = 10,5) mit der mit Id modifizierten Membran (Jv = 48,1 l/m2h) im Vergleich zur Ausgangs-Membran (Jv = 13,1 1/m2h). Die Perspektiven und die Grenzen des Modifizierungsverfahrens werden abschließend diskutiert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wurden Untersuchungen durchgeführt, um ein auf experimentellen Ergebnissen basierendes mathematisches Modell zu entwickeln, welches die Durchmischung und andere Polymerisationsparameter mit der Partikelgröße von PVC korreliert und die Grenzen der Rührgeschwindigkeit in einem definierten Rührersystem festlegt.Dazu wurde eine Computer-Regressionsanalyse von etwa 30 in Reaktoren von 10L bis 27 m3 Volomen durchgeführten Vinylchlorid-Polymerisationen berechnet. Die Partikelgröße (d50) hängt dabei ab von den Polymerisationsparametern Rührerdurchmesser (D), Rührergeschwindigkeit (N), Durchmesser des Reaktorbehälters (T), Flüssigkeitsstand (H1) und Volumen des Reaktorbehälters (V) (NWe = Weber-Zahl): d50 = 4346.8 (N)-0.905 (D)-0.901 (T)-0.514 (H1)-0.131d50/D = 273292.1 NWe-0.51 undNmin = 3049.1 D-1.1 (T/D)-0.113In diesen Gleichungen sind nur die Werte 3049, 1, -0,113, 4346, 8 und 273 292, 1 abhängig von der Zusammensetzung des Polymerisationsgemisches. Wird dieses geändert, müssen diese Variablen anhand von einer oder zweier Polymerisationen im Pilotmaßstab ermittelt werden, um die Beziehungen an die neue Zusammensetzung anzupassen und so eine Übertragung auf einen größeren Reaktor zu ermöglichen.
    Notes: Studies were carried out to develop a mathematical model based on experimental results to correlate agitation and other polymerization parameters with the particle size of PVC and to specify the limits of agitation speed within the defined agitation system. Computer regression analysis of about 30 vinyl chloride polymerizations in reactors with 10 L to 27 m3 tank volume are carried out. The particle size of PVC (d50) is correlated to various polymerization parameters such as impeller diameter (D), impeller speed (N), reactor tank diameter (T), liquid height (H1) and tank volume (V) (NWe = Weber number): d50 = 4346.8 (N)-0.905 (D)-0.901 (T)-0.514 (H1)-0.131d50/D = 273292.1 NWe-0.51Nmin = 3049.1 D-1.1 (T/D)-0.113In these equations only the values 3049.1, -0.113, 4346.8 and 273 292.1 depend on the recipe. When the recipe is changed these variables must be determined by one or two bench-scale polymerizations to adjust the correlations to the new recipe conditions so that they can be also used for scale-up purposes with the new recipe.

    Description / Table of Contents: 4-Phenyl-4-(2,3-expoxypropyl)benzoate (I) can be cured to thermoset networks with a different degree of order by using isomeric aminophenyl aminobenzoates II to V as curing agents. The formation of intermediates during the curing reaction was studied by means of model compounds. From the reaction of the monoamino-substituted phenylbenzoates VI to IX the reactivities for the primary and the secondary aminoprotons towards epoxide was determined. The kinetic data were used for a stepwise simulation of the curing reaction. Arguments were found that in case of diamines with 4-aminobenzoate structure well ordered intermediates are formed, which crosslink in an early stage of the reaction.
    Notes: Die Härtung von 4-Phenyl-4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)benzoat (I) mit den isomeren Aminophenylaminobenzoaten II bis V führt zu unterschiedlich geordneten Epoxidnetzwerken. Die Bildung verschiedener Intemediate während der Härtungsreaktion wurde anhand von Modellverbindungen studiert. Aus der Reaktion der monoamino-substituierten Phenylbenzoate VI bis IX mit Epoxid wurden die Reaktionskostanten für die Addition an das primäre und das sekundäre Wasserstoffatom der Aminogruppen bestimmt. Die kinetischen Daten lassen sich für eine schrittweise Simulation des Härtungsverlaufs verwenden. Es wurden Argumente dafür gefunden, daß sich bei Verwendung der Amine mit 4-Aminobenzoat-Strukturen gut geordnete, schnell vernetzende Intermediate bilden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die diskontinuierliche Polymerisation von Butadien in Hexan bei 45°C mit einem in-situ-aktivierten Ziegler-Katalysator aus Neodymversatat, Ethylaluminiumsesquichlorid und Triisobutylauminium wurde untersucht. Die Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit wurde durch Dichtemessungen verfolgt. Zur Beschreibung der Polymerisationskinetik bei verschiedenen Katalysatorzusammensetzungen wurde ein mathematisches Modell entwickelt. Bei einem molaren Aluminium/Neodym-Verhältnis über 40 kann mittels Gelpermeationschromatographie eine bimodale Molmassenverteilung beobachtet werden, was zu der Annahme führt, daß im Polymerisationssystem mehr als eine aktive Spezies anwesend ist.
    Notes: The batch polymerization of butadiene in hexane with an in-situ-activated Ziegler-Catalyst containing neodymium versatate, ethylaluminium sesquichloride and triisobutylaluminium was studied at 45°C. The rate of polymerization was determined by online density measurements. A mathematical model has been developed which is able to describe the kinetics of polymerization at different catalyst ratios. At molar ratios of aluminium/neodymium above 40 a bimodal molar mass distribution can be observed by gel permeation chromatography which leads to the assumption of more than one active species being present in the polymerization system.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Fähigkeit von zwei Polymeren zur Adsorption von Escherichia coli (E. coli) in sterilisierter physiologischer Kochsalzlösung wurde untersucht. Als Polymere wurden die Reaktionsprodukte von unlöslichen Poly(glycidylmethacrylat)-Kügelchen (PGMA) mit Tetraethylenpentamin (TEP) bzw. Polyethylenimin mit einem Molekulargewicht von 60 (PEI600) verwendet. Die Zahl der vermehrungsfähigen Zellen nahm in Gegenwart dieser Polymeren ab. Elektronenmikroskopisch konnte nachgewiesen werden, daß diese Abnahme durch Adsorption der Bakterien auf der Polymeroberfläche verursacht wird. Die Koeffizienten (D) der Abnahme der vermehrungsfähigen Zellen (E. coli) betragen 53 und 62 ml g-1 h-1 für PGMA-TEP bzw. PGMA-PEI600. Sie werden mit den Koeffizienten bereits untersuchter Polymerer verglichen.
    Notes: A study was made of the removal of Escherichia coli (E. coli) from water by systems based on insoluble poly(glycidyl methacrylate)-g-tetraethylenepentamine and -g-polyethylenimine, i.e., the reaction products of insoluble poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) beads with tetraethylenepentamine (TEP) or polyethylenimine having molecular weights of about 600 (PEI600). The polymers (PGMA-TEP and PGMA-PEI600) were brought into contact with E. coli in sterilized physiological saline. These polymers made the viable cell numbers decrease in this medium. It was confirmed by observation of polymer surfaces with a scanning electron microscope that this decrease was caused by adsorption of the bacterial cells onto these polymers. The decrease coefficients of viable cell numbers (D) for E. coli by these polymers were 53 ml g-1 h-1 for PGMA-TEP and 62 ml g-1h-1 for PGMA-PEI600, being compared with D by other polymers studied previously.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Dehydrochlorierungsgeschwindigkeit von PVC in Gegenwart von Gummisamenöl (RSO), epoxydiertem Gummisamenöl (ERSO) sowie Metallseifen der daraus hergestellten Fettsäuren wurde unter Stickstoff gemessen. Die Anfangsgeschwindigkeiten der Dehydrochlorierung und die Zeit bis zu einem Abbauumsatz von 1% zeigen einen stabilisierenden Effekt der RSO-Derivate mit der Reihenfolge ERSO-Metalseifen 〈 RSO-Metalliseifen 〈 ERSO 〈 RSO.
    Notes: Dehydrochlorination rates of PVC in nitrogen atmosphere were determined in the presence of rubber seed oil (RSO), epoxidized rubber seed oil (ERSO), barium soap of rubber seed oil fatty acids and barium soap of epoxidized fatty acid of rubber seed oil. The initial rates of dehydrochlorination and the time required for the degradation to attain 1% conversion showed that the rubber seed oil derivatives exert a stabilizing effect on the degradation of PVC. The order of the stabilizing effect was found to be metal soaps of ERSO 〈 metal soaps of RSO 〈 ERSO 〈 RSO.

    Description / Table of Contents: To improve materials performance like the temperature of deformation under flexural load of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) blending with thermoplastics is sensible. A good compatibilization and phase adhesion of thermodynamical incompatible blend-components can be achieved by the use of the right coupling agents. In the case of blends with TPU and PA6 diisocyanate is given into the melt during the extrusion. Through the chemical reactions effects of compatibilization are achieved in the cases of blends with polyesterpolyurethanes and PA6 produced by extrusion and injection moulding and by reactions in solution, too. These could be perceived as consequence of MDI-initiated reactions within the phase boundary layer. The possible reactions with the PA6-phase will be discussed by the use of a model-system made in solution. No effects of compatibilization by MDI could be proved in the polyetherpolyurethan/PA6-system. The chemical characterization of the blends was realized by GPC and FTIR whereas the properties of the morphology are proved with the help of DSC, DMA and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
    Notes: Zur Verbesserung der Werkstoffeigenschaften von thermoplastischen Polyurethanen (TPU), wie etwa der Wärmeformbeständigkeit, ist es sinnvoll, ein Blending mit Thermoplasten vorzunehmen. Eine gute Phasenverträglichkeit und Phasenhaftung bei thermodynamisch unverträglichen Blendkomponenten kann durch geeignete reaktive Koppler erreicht werden. Bei den Blends aus TPU and PA6 wird Diisocyanat während der Extrusion in der Schmelze eingebracht. Durch die ablaufenden chemischen Reaktionen werden bei extrudierten und verspritzten Blends und bei aus der Lösung erzeugten Systemen aus Polyesterpolyurethan und PA6 verträglichkeitsverbessernde Wirkungen erreicht. Diese wurden als Folge von mit 4,4′-Diphenylmethandiisocyanat (MDI) initiierten Reaktionen in der Grenzschicht erkannt, wobei die möglichen Reaktionen mit der PA6-Phase anhand eines Modellsystems aus der Lösung diskutiert werden. Bei Blends aus Polyetherpolyurethan und PA6 wurde keine Verträglichkeitsvermittlung durch MDI nachgewiesen. Die chemische Charakterisierung der Blends erfolgte durch GPC und FTIR, während die morphologischen Eigenschaften mittels DSC, DMA und Elektronenmikroskopie dokumentiert wurden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Reaktion von 4,9-Dioxa-1,12-dodecandiamin (DDDD) mit dem Diglycidylether von Bisphenol A (DGEBA) wurde mittels isothermer und dynamischer Differentialkalorimetrie untersucht. Die Enthalpie der Reaktion einer Epoxygruppe mit einem Amin-Wasserstoff wurde zu 112 ± 5 kJ/mol bestimmt.Die Gültigkeit eines kinetischen Modells wurde bestätigt. Es beinhaltet zwei konkurrierende Mechanismen: zum einen die Katalyse durch Hydroxy-Gruppen, die entweder an die Epoxykette gebunden sind oder während der Reaktion gebildet werden (Aktivierungsenergie 77 ± 5 kJ/mol), zum anderen eine nicht katalysierte Reaktion mit einer höheren Aktivierungsenergie (103 ± 3 kJ/mol).Eine Gelierung beeinflußt die Kinetik der isothermen Härtung nicht. Aus den Gelzeiten wurde die Bruttoaktivierungsenergie ermittelt (62 ± 2 kJ/mol).
    Notes: The reaction between the diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and 4,9-dioxa-1,12-dodecanediamine (DDDD) has been studied by means of isothermal and dynamic differential scanning calorimetry. The enthalpy of the reaction of an epoxy group with an amino-hydrogen has been determined to be 112 ± 5 kJ/mol. A kinetic model has been validated. It involves two competitive mechanisms: one is catalysed by the hydroxy groups initially present on the epoxy chain or generated during the reaction (activation energy 77 ± 5 kJ/mol), the other is not catalysed with a higher activation energy (103 ± 3 kJ/mol).For each isothermal curing, the kinetics are not modified by gelation. Evaluated from the gel times, the overall activation energy of the reaction is equal to 62 ± 2 kJ/mol.

    Description / Table of Contents: Magnetische Zellulosepartikel wurden aus Viskose und Eisenpulver mit einer den thermischen Sol-Gel-Übergang nutzenden Suspensionsmethode hergestellt. Die so erhaltenen Teilchen konnen mit einem von außen angelegten, rotierenden Magnetfeld eines üblichen Permanentmagneten durchmischt werden. Die Abtrennung der Partikel von der Reaktionssuspension sollte in einer dünnen Schicht des Materials durch ein starkes Magnetfeld erfolgen. Magnetische Zellulosepartikel, die mit einer SmCoFe-Legierung anstelle des Ferrits hergestellt wurden, besitzen bessere magnetische Eigenschaften.
    Notes: Mangetic bead cellulose was prepared from viscose and ferrite powder by employing the suspension procedure using the thermal sol-gel transition. The particles thus obtained can be stirred if acted upon by an external rotary magnetic field of a common permanent magnet. Isolation of the particles from reaction suspensions should proceed in a thin layer using a strong magnetic field. Magnetic bead cellulose prepared from supermagnetic powder of the SmCoFe alloy shows a better behaviour in the magnetic field than ferrite materials.

    Description / Table of Contents: Unterschiedliche Methoden zur Messung der thermo-oxidativen Stabilität von Polypropylen wurden verglichen. Die Induktionszeiten des oxidativen Abbaus wurden mittels Differentialkalorimetrie (DSC) zwischen 160 und 240°C bis zu 10000 min gemessen. Die gleichen Proben wurden bei 130 bis 160°C 13000 h einer Alterung im Heizofen ausgesetzt.Unterschiedlich stabilisierte Proben ergaben bei dynamischen DSC-Messungen unterschiedliche Ergebnisse. Die Übereinstimmung zwischen dynamischen und statischen Experimenten waren bei kleinen Heizraten am besten.Die Arrhenius-Diagramme der isothermen DSC-Messungen unterscheiden sich von denen der Alterungsversuche; die erhaltenen Geraden schneiden sich entweder in der Nähe der Polypropylen-Schmelzpunkte oder verschieben sich bei den durch Temperung gealterten Proben zu längeren Zeiten. Die scheinbaren Aktivierungsenergien aus den Ofen-Temperungsmessungen sind sehr vie1 niedriger als die aus den DSC-Messungen berechneten und liegen bei allen Proben in einem einheitlichen Bereich, während bei den DSC-Experimenten ein Einfluß des Stabilisators zu erkennen ist.Die thermische Stabilität von Polypropylen wird auch von Antistatika und Farbpigmenten beeinflufßt. Besonders Rot-Pigment wirkt als Stabilisator für Polypropylen, was aus den Ofen-Alterungsversuchen hervorgeht; es verliert diesen Effekt aber bei höheren Temperaturen.
    Notes: The correlation between different methods of measuring thermo-oxidative stability of polypropylene has been studied. The oxidation induction times were measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in the temperature range from 160°C to 240°C up to 10000 min. The same samples were oven-aged in the temperature range from 130°C to 160°C up to 13000 h.The dynamic experiments performed by DSC show different results for differently stabilized samples. At slow heating rates the results of the dynamic experiments corresponded best to the results of the isothermal experiments.The straight-line Arrhenius plots of the isothermal DSC measurements do not correlate with the straight-line Arrhenius plots of the oven-aging tests. The Arrhenius plots obtained by these two methods either intersect close to the melting temperature of polypropylene or show jumps towards longer times when switching from DSC to oven-aging. It was found that the apparent activation energies obtained from the oven-aging tests are much lower than these obtained by DSC measurements. Almost the same activation energies were obtained for all the samples in oven-aging, while for the differently stabilized samples the activation energies from DSC measurements showed different results.Antistatic additives and colour pigments influence the thermal stability of polypropylene. Especially red pigment acts like a stabilizer for polypropylene, which is noticed at oven-aging testing, but at higher temperatures it loses this stabilizing effect.

    Notes: Reaction products of soluble chloromethylated polystyrene with diethylamine, poly(styrene-co-chloromethylstyrene) with diethanolamine, and poly(styrene-co-glycidyl methacrylate) with diethanolamine were prepared and supported on activated alumina granules. A study was made of removal of Escherichia coli cells from water by these supported alumina granules. When these granules (0.100 g) were stirred in a viable cell suspension (107-8 cells/ml, 20 ml), the viable cell number decreased by the adsorption of the cells to the granules. The adsorption attained approximately to the equilibrium (saturated adsorption) after about 2 h from the start of the adsorption. The decrease coefficient (D, which corresponds to the adsorption rate constant) was determined from the decrease in the viable cell number in the adsorption for about 2 h from the start.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die radikalische Polymerisation von Bisphenol-S enthaltenden Mono- und Dimethacrylsaureestern (BPS-M und BPS-DM) wurde bezüglich Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit, Läsungsmitteleinfluß, Copolymerisation und Kinetik der Photovernetzung untersucht. Es zeigte sich, daß das Lösungsmittel die Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit signifikant beeinflußt; polare Lösungsmittel wie DMSO und Acetonitril verlangsamen die Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit. Die Copolymerisation von BPS-M (M1) mit MMA (M1) wurde in Aceton bei 60°C untersucht. Die Copolymerisationsparameter wurden nach der Fineman-Ross-Methode zu r1 = 3,72 ± 0,0l und r2 = 0,80 ± 0,0l berechnet. Die hohe Reaktivität von BPS-M in diesem Copolymerisationssystem kann vermutlich dem „Matrix-Effekt“ zugeschrieben werden. Funktionelle Polymere mit Methacrylat- Seitengruppen wurden erfolgreich modifiziert und durch Bestrahlung in Gegenwart von Benzoinisopropylether photovernetzt. Die Kinetik der Photovernetzung ist zweiter Ordnung.
    Notes: Radical polymerizations of mono- and di-methacrylic esters containing bisphenol-S (BPS-M and BPS-DM) were studied in terms of polymerization rate, solvent effect, copolymerization and kinetic measurements of photocrosslinking. The solvents were found to affect significantly the polymerization rate. Polar solvents such as DMSO and acetonitrile were found to slow down the polymerization rate. Copolymerization of BPS-M(M1) with MMA(M2) was studied in acetone at 60°C. The monomer reactivity ratios were calculated to be r1 = 3.72 ± 0.01 and r2 = 0.80 ± 0.01 by the Fineman-Ross method. The high reactivity of BPS-M observed in this copolymerization system may be due to the “matrix effect”. Functional polymers containing methacrylate side-groups were successfully modified and photocrosslinked by irradiation in the presence of benzoin isopropyl ether. The photocrosslinking process is found to be of second order kinetics.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Reaktion von Chlorsilanen (Me3SiCl, R2SiCl2, SiCl4; R=Me, Ph) mit MgCl2 · 6 H2O wurde bezüglich der Entfernung des Kristallwassers untersucht. Die Dehydratisierungsgeschwindigkeit hängt von der Art des Chlorsilans ab. Bei der Reaktion mit Dichlordiphenylsilan entsteht in hoher Ausbeute ungelöstes, wasserfreies Magnesiumchlorid, das als Trägermaterial für die Herstellung eines Titan-Katalysators verwendet wurde. Dieser zeigt mit Et3Al und Ph2Si(OMe), als Cokatalysatoren eine hohe Aktivität für die Propylenpolymerisation.
    Notes: Reaction of chlorosilanes (Me3SiCl, R2SiCl2, SiCl4; R=Me, Ph) with MgCl2 · 6 H2O were investigated for the efficiency of removal of water. The nature of chlorosilane is found to govern the rate of dehydration. The treatment of hydrated magnesium chloride with dichlorodiphenylsilane gives unsolvated anhydrous magnesium chloride in high yields. Anhydrous MgCl2 is used as support for the preparation of titanium catalyst. The catalyst in conjunction with Et3Al and Ph2Si(OMe)2 as cocatalyst system shows high activity for propylene polymerization.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Phasengrenzflächenpolykondensation von 4,4′-Dimercaptobiphenyl mit ausgewählten aliphatischen und isomeren Phthalsäuredichloriden wurden neue Polythioester erhalten. Um die optimalen Bedingungen der Phasengrenzflachenpolykondensation zu bestimmen, wurde der Einfluß folgender Faktoren auf die reduzierte Viskosität und Ausbeute der Polythioester ermittelt: Art der organischen Phase, Konzentration der Reagenzien, Verhältnis der wässrigen zur organischen Phase, Art und Konzentration des HC1-Akzeptors, Reaktionstemperatur und -zeit. Die Polykondensation von Dithiol mit Isophthalsäuredichlorid wurde als Modellsystem speziell untersucht. Die Polythioesterstrukturen wurden mittels Elementaranalyse, IR-Spektroskopie und Riöntgenspektroskopie bestimmt. Aus der thermogravimetrischen Analyse wurden die Anfangszersetzungstemperatur, die Gewichtsabnahme bei dieser Temperatur und das Maximum der Zersetzungsgeschwindigkeit erhalten. Es wurden weiterhin einige physikalisch-chemische, mechanische und dielektrische Eigenschaften ermittelt. Aufgrund der geringen Löjslichkeit der Polythioester konnten die mittleren Molekulargewichte nicht bestimmt werden.
    Notes: New polythioesters were obtained by interfacial polycondensation of 4,4′-dimercaptobiphenyl with selected aliphatic and isomeric phthaloyl dichlorides.To determine the optimum polycondensation conditions, the influence of the following factors on reduced viscosity and yield were studied: type of organic phase, concentration of hydrogen chloride acceptor, type of catalyst, reaction temperature and rate of acid dichloride addition.A thorough examination was carried out only for the polycondensation of dithiol with isophthaloyl dichloride chosen as a model system. The structures of polythioesters were determined by elemental analysis, X-ray and infrared spectra. The temperature of initial decomposition, the percentage of its mass loss, and temperature of the fastest decomposition process were determined from curves of differential and thermogravimetric analysis.Some physicochemical, mechanical and electrical properties were determined. The molecular weights were not measured because of the low solubility of the obtained polythioesters.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die negativ geladene Oberfläche von feindispersen anorganischen Materialien wie Kieselgur, Perlit, Kaolin oder Glas kann durch die Adsorption von kationischen Polyelektrolyten umgeladen werden. Bei hohen Mengen an adsorbiertem Polykation besitzen die Oberflächen der unterschiedlichen Materialien dann gleiche elektrokinetische Eigenschaften. An den derart modifizierten Grenzflächen können anionische Farbstoffe adsorbiert werden. Bei Zugabe eines Polyanions, resultierend in der Bildung eines Polyelektrolytkomplexes, kann die Zahl der kationischen Zentren in der Grenzfläche und damit die Adsorptionskapazität für den Farbstoff erhöht werden. Die experimentellen Resultate deuten darauf hin, daß das Zetapotential bestimmt wird durch die außeren Bereiche der PEC-Schicht, wahrend die Farbstoffadsorption auch durch die inneren Regionen der Oberfläche mitbestimmt wird. Unmittelbar nach der Modifizierung mit Poly(diallyldimethylammoniumchlorid) und Poly(maeinsäure-co-α-methylstyrol) besitzen die modifizierten Materialien bei einem hohen Überschuß des Poly-anions ein negatives Zetapotential, aber ein positives nach der Abtrennung der überstehenden Lösung. Dieses Verhalten steht in Übereinstimmung mit der Bildung eines nichtstochiometrischen PEC mit Polykation im Überschuß und einer reversiblen Wechselwirkung mit überschüssigem Polyanion in der Lüsung. Die Ergebnisse deuten an, daß die Oberflache als fest-analoger Polyelektrolyt in Konkurrenz zu dem Polyanion an der Reaktion beteiligt ist.
    Notes: The surface charge of inorganic finely dispersed materials like diatom earth, perlite, glass or clay may be changed from negative to positive by the adsorption of cationic polyelectrolytes. Different materials exhibit equivalent electrokinetic surface properties with high amounts of the polycation adsorbed. Interfaces modified this way are able to adsorb anionic dye stuffs. Their adsorption capability for the dye stuff may be enhanced by addition of polyanions due to the formation of a nonstoichiometric polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) and therefore an increased number of cationic centres in the interface. Experimental results indicate that the zeta potential is correlated to the outer PEC layer whereby dye stuff adsorption measurements are sensitive for the more inner surface regions, too. Immediately after modification, materials modified with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and poly(maleic acid-co-α-methylstyrene) have negative zeta potentials at high excess of added polyanion and a positive one after separation of the solid. This behaviour is attributed to the formation of a nonstoichiometric PEC with polycation in excess and reversible interaction with polyanion in the surrounding solution. Experimental results indicate that the surface may act as “solid-like” polyelectrolyte in competition to the polyanion.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die dielektrischen Relaxationsprozesse in Sulfobetain-Polyurethanionomeren mit Polyethersegmenten (Co2+ -komplexierte und H,S-behandelte Formen) wurden mit der TSDC-Methode untersucht und mit denen nichtionischer Polyurethane und verwandter Verbindungen verglichen. Vier mit c, βs, β′ und βh bezeichnete Relaxationsprozesse wurden in Polyurethanionomeren im Temperaturbereich von 110 bis 370 K beobachtet und mit möglichen molekularen Bewegungsprozessen korreliert. Die Einflüsse des Gehalts an Hartsegmenten, der Komplexierung sowie der H2S-Behandlung auf die Relaxationsprozesse wurden unter Berücksichtigung der strukturellen Modifikationen der harten und der weichen Mikrophasen erklärt.
    Notes: Dielectric relaxation processes in sulfobetaine polyurethane ionomers based on polyether, were studied comparatively to nonionic polyurethane and related compounds with Co2+ (complexed and H2S-treated forms) by using thermally stimulated depolarization currents (TSDC).Four relaxation processes denoted as γ, βs, β′ and βh in polyurethane ionomers over the 110-370 K range were observed. Molecular origin of these processes was suggested. The effects of the hard segments content, complexation and H2S treatment on the relaxation processes were explained in terms of the structural modifications of the hard and soft microphases.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Komplexierung von Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) und Hg(II) in Amin-funktionalisierten, mit N-(Acrylamidomethyl)acrylamid (NNMBA) vernetzten Polyacrylamiden wurde untersucht. Die Metallionenaufnahme hängt vom Vernetzungsgrad ab und nimmt in der Reihenfolge Hg(II) ≫ Cu(II) 〉 Zn(II) 〉 Ni(II) 〉 Co(II) ab. Die Kinetik der Komplexierung ist erster Ordnung. Die Metallkomplexe wurden mittels IR- und EPR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Die Harze können ohne Kapazitätsverlust nach Dekomplexierung mehrmals verwendet werden; die desorbierten Harze komplexieren bevorzugt das vorher gebundene Metallion. Das Quellvermögen der komplexierten ist geringer als das der nichtkomplexierten Harze und hängt vom Vernetzungsgrad ab.
    Notes: The complexation of amino functions supported on poly(acrylamides) with 2-20 mol-% of N-(acrylamidomethyl)acrylamide (NNMBA) crosslinks towards Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Hg(II) ions was investigated. The metal ion uptake was found to be dependent on the extent of the NNMBA crosslinking. The observed trend in complexation is Hg(II) ≫ Cu(II) 〉 Zn(II) 〉 Ni(II) 〉 Co(II). The kinetics of complexation was found to be of first order. The derived metal complexes were characterised by IR and EPR. The complexed resins can be recycled several times without capacity loss. The metal-desorbed resins showed specificity to the metal ion which was initially present. The extent of swelling of the complexed resins is lower than that of the uncomplexed resins and it varies with the extent of crosslinking.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Wirkung von Lichtstabilisatoren im ersten Stadium der Alterung von Polyethylen niedriger Dichte (LDPE) wurde mit elektrischen Methoden untersucht. Drei verschiedene UV-Stabilisatoren wurden verwendet: ein Phosphit-Derivat (3,9-Bis[(2,4-di-tert-butyl)phenoxy]-2,4,8,l0-tetraoxa-3,9-diphosphaspiro[5.5]undecane), ein Benzophenon-Derivat (2-Hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenon) und ein Chelat [2,2′-Thiobis(4-tert-octylphenolato)(n-butylamino)nickel(II)]. Diese Stabilisatoren, speziell das Chelat, verbesserten die UV-Stabilität von LDPE für elektrische Anwendungen.
    Notes: The efficiency of light stabilizers is investigated by electric methods in the initial stage of photooxidative ageing of low density polyethylene (LDPE). Three types of UV light stabilizers are tried to improve the UV stability of LDPE: a phosphite type (3,9-bis-[(2,4-di-tert-butyl)phenoxy]-2,4,8,10-tetraoxa-3,9-diphosphaspiro[5.5]undecane) a benzophenone type [2-hydroxy-4-octyloxy-benzophenone] and a stabilizer based on chelate salt [2,2′-thiobis(4-tert-octyl phenolato) (n-butylamine) nickel (II)]. LDPE is very susceptible to ultraviolet light. UV light stabilizers improve the stability of low density polyethylene for electrical applications, especially the UV stabilizer based on chelate salt.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein Poly(vinylalkohol)-Film (PVA) wurde nach Erhitzen in siedendem Wasser gequollen und durch Bestrahlen mit Elektronen vernetzt. Das so erhaltene PVA-Hydrogel weist eine höhere Elastizität und bessere mechanische Eigenschaften auf, obwohl es noch quellbar ist. Das Volumen des vernetzten Hydrogels reagiert sehr empfindlich auf einen Wechsel des Quellungsmittels und eine Temperaturänderung. Nach Kontraktion durch Eintauchen in Aceton nimmt die Zugfestigkeit zu. Durch wiederholtes Erhitzen des Hydrogels in siedendem Wasser und anschließendes Abkühlen wurden Kontraktions-Quellungs-Zyklen durchlaufen. Bei Temperaturen oberhalb 40°C nimmt das Quellungsverhältnis stark ab.
    Notes: Responsive poly(vinyl alcohol) PVA hydrogels obtained by electron irradiation after heating of a water-swollen film show higher elasticity and tougher properties even after boiling in water, although some swelling did occur. The volume of the hydrogel after boiling was very sensitive to solvent (acetone) and temperature. The crosslinked hydrogels show higher tensile strength after rapid contraction by immersion in acetone. The crosslinked PVA was boiled and cooled to induce contraction and swelling cycles. The swelling ratio of hydrogel decreased remarkably at temperatures higher than 40°C.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Umsetzung von 2,2′,6,6′-Tetrabrombisphenol A (TBBPA) mit Phosgen in einer mit Trialkylamin katalysierten Grenzflächenpolykondensation liefert nur Polymere mit niedrigem Molekulargewicht. Die geringe Reaktivität von TBBPA wird auf dessen sterisch anspruchsvolle Struktur und den elektronenziehenden Charakter der o-Bromsubstituenten zurückgeführt. Aus der Bildung von Carbamaten bei der Reaktion einer Modellverbindung (2,4,6-Tribromophenylchlorformat, TBPC) mit Trialkylaminen geht hervor, daß durch Zerfall des Katalysator-TBPC-Komplexes die Polymerisation abgebrochen wird. Das Carbamat wird durch Zersetzung des Acylammoniumsalzes gebildet, wobei eine nucleophile Substitution durch das Chloridion an dem an das positiv geladene Stickstoffatom gebundenen Kohlenstoffatom stattfindet.
    Notes: 2,2′,6,6′-Tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBBPA), a sterically hindered bisphenol, is known to give only low-molecular-weight polymers using the interfacial phosgenation process. The low reactivity is attributed to the bulkiness and electron-withdrawing character of bromine substituents at the ortho positions. From the formation of carbamate products in model compound (2,4,6-tribromophenyl chloroformate, TBPC) reactions with trialkylamines, the trialkylamine catalyst was found to act as a terminator by the degradation of the chloroformate-trialkylamine complex. The generation of carbamate occurs through the decomposition of the acyl ammonium salt proceeding via nucleophilic displacement by Cl- at the carbon attached to the positive nitrogen center. The relative catalytic abilities of trialkylamines and pyridine derivatives were determined in the homogeneous (dichloromethane) and interfacial (dichloromethane/water) systems. From the results of model reactions with TBPC and sodium tribromophenolate, 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) was found to be the best catalyst.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die thermische Alterung von extrudierten Proben von mit Elektronenstrahlen vernetztem linearem Polyethylen wurde im Temperaturbereich von 110-170°C untersucht. Kurz- und langfristige Veränderungen der mechanischen (Dehnungs-)Eigenschaften wurden beobachtet; die entsprechenden Alterungsmechanismen werden auf der Basis ergänzender Sol-Gel-, Dichte-, FTIR- sowie gravimetrischer Messungen und Zugversuche an Mikrotomschnitten diskutiert.Zwei Mechanismen führen zu kurzfristigen Eigenschaftsänderungen: eine Nachvernetzung und eine Änderung der Kristallstruktur (bei Proben oberhalb ihrer Schmelztemperatur). Im vorliegenden Fall wurden die Polymeren im festen Zustand vernetzt, so daß die Änderung der Kristallstruktur zu einer erkennbaren Abnahme der Streckspannung (ca. 5 MPa) führte.Die langfristigen Veränderungen treten nach dem Ende der Oxidationsinduktionsperiode auf. Sie können als Übergang vom zähen in den spröden Zustand interpretiert werden, der durch Strukturänderungen sowohl auf molekularer (durch Kettenspaltung) als auch makroskopischer Ebene (durch diffusionskontrollierte Kinetik der Oxidation verursachte Kern-Schale-Struktur) hervorgerufen wird. Durch IR- und DSC-Analysen wurde festgestellt, daß wahrnehmbare Änderungen in der Dehnung erst kurz vor dem Ende der Induktionsperiode auftreten.
    Notes: The thermal aging of extruded samples of electron beam-crosslinked linear polyethylene has been studied in the 110-170°C temperature range. Short and long term changes of mechanical (tensile) properties were observed, and the corresponding mechanisms are discussed on the basis of complementary sol-gel and gravimetric measurements on whole samples, and density, FTIR and tensile testing on microtome sections.Two mechanisms are involved in short term changes: a post-crosslinking and a change of the crystalline morphology (for samples exposed above the melting point). The latter effect is especially important in the case under study where the polymer was crosslinked in the solid state and leads to a noticeable decrease (∼5 MPa) of the yield stress.The long term changes take place after the end of the induction period of oxidation. They can be interpreted in terms of ductile-brittle transition induced by structural changes occurring on the macromolecular level (chain scission) as well as macroscopically (core-shell structure resulting of the diffusion control of oxidation kinetics). It appears that noticeable changes of ultimate elongation occur just before the end of the induction period as detected by IR or DSC method.

    Description / Table of Contents: Poly(epichlorhydrin) wurde durch nukleophile Substitution mit aliphatischen Kaliumcarboxylaten mit endstandigen Doppelbindungen (10-Undecenoat, 4-Pentenoat und 3-Butenoat) modifiziert. Die Reaktionsbedingungen wurden variiert, um ihren Einfluß auf den erreichten Substitutionsgrad zu untersuchen. Die hergestellten Polyether wurden mittels Elementaranalyse, spektroskopischen und thermischen Methoden sowie Viskositäts- und osmometrischen Messungen charakterisiert. Es wurde sowohl eine geringe Vernetzung als auch die bereits bekannte Hauptkettenspaltung beobachtet. Während der Substitutionsreaktion isomerisierte das Vinylacetat zum Crotonsäureester.
    Notes: Poly(epichlorohydrin) was modified by nucleophilic substitution with some aliphatic potassium carboxylates containing terminal double bonds (10-undecenoate, 4-pentenoate and 3-butenoate). In order to monitor the degree of substitution achieved, different reaction conditions were tested. The polyethers obtained were characterized by spectroscopic techniques, elemental analysis, thermal methods, viscosity determinations and osmometric measurements. A slight crosslinking and the reported main chain cleavage were both detected. Finally, it must be pointed out that, during the substitution reaction with the vinylacetate, isomerization to crotonic ester took place.

    Description / Table of Contents: Polypropylen wurde mittels Gasentladung unter niedrigem Druck behandelt. Die Oberflaäachenmodifizierung wurde durch ESCA-Analysen, Messungen der Benetzbarkeit und Adhäasionsunterschungen in Abhäangigkeit von der Behandlungszeit und der Art des verwendeten Gases (Luft oder Argon) charakterisiert. Die Ergebnisse von “advancing”- und “receding” -Kontaktwinkelmessungen mit Wasser (sehr polar) und Diiodmethan (unpoler) in einem automatischen dynamischen Tensiometer ziegen eine Zunahme der Benetzbarkeit nach der Oberfläachenbehandlung. Dier wird auf die entstehung hochenergetisch polarer Stellen auf der Oberfläache zuräuckgefäuhrt. Die ESCA-Analyse belegt, daß die modifizierte Oberfläahe aud niedermolekularem Material besteht; sie ist in Methanol läolich.Die Adhäsion von Aluminium an der Polypropylen-Oberfläche wird bereits durch eine wenige Sekunden dauernde Gasentladungsbehandlung verbessert. Sie hängt von der polaren Komponente der Oberflächenenergie des Polymeren ab.
    Notes: Low-pressure discharge treatments were applied to the surface of polypropylene. ESCA analyses, wettability measurements and adhesion tests were carried out to characterize surface modifications as a function of treatment time and nature of gas (air or argon). Advancing and receding contact angles were measured with an automatic dynamical tensiometer. The liquids used were water (very polar liquid) and methylene iodide (apolar liquid). The results show an increase in wettability by the surface treatment. This is due to the creation of high-energy polar sites. ESCA analysis also shows that the modified surface layer is soluble in methanol and is made up of low-molecular-weight material.Adhesion of polypropylene/aluminium is also increased by the low pressure discharge treatment from the few first seconds of the treatment. This adhesion increase is a function of the polar component of the polymer surface energy.
