    Notes: Summary Three cases of rhabdoid tumour of the central nervous system arising in a supratentorial location are reported. The patients were 18, 14, and 7 years old. All three tumours showed a common morphology. The neoplastic cells were usually globoid with round nuclei and prominent nucleoli and large acidophilic, cytoplasmic inclusions were present in many of them. These inclusions showed strong immunoreactivity for vimentin, weak immunoreactivity for epithelial membrane antigen and focal immunoreactivity for cytokeratins. Ultrastructurally they were made up of whorls of intermediate filaments, 8–10 nm in thickness. Rhabdoid tumours of the central nervous system, whatever the cell of origin, appear to be an independent entity with identifiable histology and aggressive behaviour.

    Notes: Abstract An ultrastructural study of amyloid deposits in four cases of squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix was performed. The amyloid deposits reacted with anti-keratin antiserum on frozen sections. Amyloid deposits showed nodular (4 cases) and star-like forms (3 cases). Nodular amyloid deposits were composed of slightly whorled fibrils, measuring 7–10 nm in width. Some of them contained cellular debris and thicker, more electron-dense filaments than amyloid fibrils. In three cases, filamentous tumour cells and filamentous masses were observed together with amyloid. Star-like amyloid deposits were composed of bundles of straight amyloid fibrils. Some of the tumour cells in contact with star-like amyloid deposits had deep cytoplasmic invaginations, where closely packed amyloid fibrils were arrayed in parallel fasion. In addition, a few tumour cells had membrane-bound amyloid fibrils in the cytoplasm. It is suggested that nodular amyloid deposits are derived from the tumour cells through filamentous degeneration. Amyloid fibrils in star-like amyloid deposits are thought to be formed within the cytoplasm or in the vicinity of invaginated cytoplasmic membranes of the tumour cells.

    Notes: Abstract Morphological and morphometric studies of glomeruli were carried out in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats using improved tissue processing and computerized morphometry. Increased mesangial matrix, occupying the enlarged diabetic mesangium, contained an abundance of dark granular material in addition to the microfibrils which were usually found in the control glomeruli. In the diabetic glomeruli, the lamina densa was thick and heterogeneous showing a dense layer both on its epithelial and endothelial aspects, and the lamina rara externa contained more fibrils than in control rats. Detailed estimation of the absolute values of the various compartments of the diabetic glomeruli by using perfusion-flxed materials and a computer-assisted digitizer revealed that the volume and surface area of the mesangium were increased more extensively than those of the capillary; the enlargement of the mesangial-capillary interface area was the most pronounced among the morphometric changes of the diabetic glomeruli; and that the moderate increase in capillary volume was associated with an increased radius. Our quantitative results showed that capillaries in the diabetic glomeruli had an extensively wider neck which may be the first sign of structural damage to the glomerular tuft.

    Notes: Abstract Experimental obstruction of the fetal small intestine resulted in massive hypertrophy of the segment proximal to the site of obstruction. Villus morphology was grossly abnormal. Enterocytes developed many irregular features, most notably cytoplasmic extensions (pseudopods, or blebs) from their apical surface. Distal to the site of obstruction, morphological anomalies which resembled those seen after experimental oesophageal ligation were found. These included delayed disappearance of the apical endocytic network, disrupted or absent microvilli, glycogen accumulation and inappropriate cell extrusion. Proximal to the obstruction, where stasis of swallowed fluid occurs, distension and abnormal intestinal development ensues. Distal to the obstruction where the intestine develops in the absence of swallowed fluid, development is also abnormal. The anomalies resemble those noted after oesophageal ligation in utero, and possibly are the results of reduced cellular nutrition. These results suggest that fetal ingestion provides the developing gastrointestinal tract with an important stimulus for normal growth.

    Notes: Abstract Yersinia enterocolitica is an invasive pathogen capable of causing a wide spectrum of gastrointestinal diseases in man. While there is a considerable body of data on the invasiveness ofY. enterocolitica in vitro, little is known about the events in vivo leading to the translocation of the bacteria from the intestinal lumen into the ileal tissue. There is no detailed ultrastructural information describing the course of infection of pathogenicY. enterocolitica in comparison with an avirulent strain. We compared a virulent plasmid-bearing strain and an isogenic avirulent plasmid-free derivative strain ofY. enterocolitica serotype O∶8 at the ultrastructural level, in the established model of murine yersiniosis. At 12 h postinoculation we found no indications of an active invasion of the intestinal epithelium, although microcolonies of the pathogenic strain were detectable closely under the follicle-associated epithelium of the Peyer's patches. The plasmid-bearing strain ofY. enterocolitica affected the gut-associated lymphoid tissue which was destroyed 36 h post-infection. Unlike the pathogenic strain ofY. enterocolitica, the nonpathogenic plasmid-free strain caused no detectable morphological alterations in the ileal tissue by this time. Morphological evidence is provided thatYersinia does not invade the ileal epithelium in an active manner, as has been observed in vitro, but appears to be transported across the epithelial barrier by M-cells.

    Notes: Summary We report a case of sarcoma botryoides of the uterine cervix occurring in a 19-year-old woman. By light microscopy the tumor showed round and spindle cells with hyperchromatic nuclei and, focally, a cambium layer subjacent to the surface epithelium and surrounding endocervical glands. Strap-shaped cells with and without cross-striations and small foci of immature cartilage were also present. Immunohistochemical studies showed positive staining within the tumor cells for myoglobin, desmin, vimentin, muscle-specific actin and CD56. By electron microscopy, tumor cells showed cytoplasmic filaments in an alternating pattern of thick and thin filaments. Chromosomal analysis demonstrated deletion of the short arm of chromosome 1, and trisomies 13 and 18. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of sarcoma botryoides of the endocervix with chromosomal analysis.

    Notes: Abstract The aim of the present work was to analyse, at the ultrastructural level, the action of heroin of 150 centrilobular sinusoids from liver biopsies of five intravenous drug abusers, who presented clinical and biological manifestations of hepatic impairment. A comparative study of 90 sinusoids from liver biopsies of three control patients was performed. Electron microscopic observations showed a thickening of the sinusoidal wall related to endothelial cell hypertrophy and to fibrosis of the space of Disse. This was generally associated with basement-membrane-like material and hepatocyte microvilli flattening. In addicts, hepatic vascular pole changes were a constant finding, accompanied by interhepatocyte space disjunction and perisinusoidal collagenization. Morphometric assessment confirmed a significant increase of sinusoidal wall surface, endothelial cell body and processes and Ito cell process surface was significantly different between the patient groups. This cellular hypertrophy may represent hyperactivation of the sinusoidal cell functional capacity, triggering the fibrogenesis in the space of Disse. While this mechanical barrier might hinder the free exchange through the space of Disse, it may equally well protect the liver against heroin toxicity.

    Notes: Abstract The three-dimensional ultrastructure ofCryptococcus neoformans was studied by quick-freezing and deep-etching (QF-DE) method.C. neoformans, strain CDC551, was cultured on agar. The viable yeast cells (107 cells) were inoculated into each mouse from the tail vein. Three weeks after the inoculation, the brains of the mice were perfused with fixatives, quickly frozen, freeze-fractured, deeply etched and rotary shadowed with platinum and carbon. In addition, the viable cells ofC. neoformans on agar were picked up and quickly frozen, and replica membranes were prepared as described above. The ultrastructure ofC. neoformans was three-dimensionally demonstrated by the QF-DE method. The capsule was composed of fine meshworks of microfibrils (10–13 nm in diameter), which were directly attached to the cell walls. The capsule of the in vivo yeasts (yeast cells in the brain lesion) was thicker than that of the in vitro yeasts (yeast cells on agar culture). At the outer part of the cell wall, a particle-accumulating layer was observed. This layer in vivo was thicker than that in vitro. Occasionally, the yeast cells were ingested by phagocytes in the mouse brain. Although the cytoplasm of such yeast cells was destroyed, the capsular meshworks were well preserved. The ultrastructure of the capsule was the same both in cultured and phagocytized yeasts in the cystic lesions of the brains. This lack of morphological changes of the capsular meshworks suggests that they are resistant to the digestion by phagocytes. This stability of capsular structures may provide one of the important pathogenic factors in cystic lesions byC. neoformans.

    Notes: Summary Foetal rat brain reaggregate cultures have been employed to investigate the morphological changes associated with the neurotoxic action of ethylcholine mustard aziridinium (ECMA). In a companion study we provided evidence for apparent selective cholinergic neurotoxicity. Exposure of 9-day-old cultures to 12.5 μM ECMA for 3 days produced dilatation of selected axon preterminals and terminals in the outer core tissue layer. Axoplasm in these dilated terminals was electron lucent and contained a flocculent, plasma-like material with remnants of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Their synaptic vesicle content was much reduced or, absent. Microglial cells were engaged in phagocytosis of these effete structures and a few necrotic neurons were enveloped by glial processes. Exposure to 50 μM ECMA produced widespread necrosis with some surviving neurons, surrounded by the still-persisting capsular layer. Treatment with 100 μM ECMA generated a greater extent of tissue necrosis, with only a few surviving neurons and glial cells being contained within the necrotic tissue mass. Reaggregates frequently disintegrated following capsule loss. Our results indicate that the initial morphological manifestation of ECMA-induced toxicity is dilatation of axon terminals, that are probably of cholinergic origin and are targeted due to their possession of the high-affinity choline transport system which is unique to these neurons.

    Notes: Summary The neuropathological findings in a Japanese male with nephrosialidosis are reported. Clinically, coarse face, psychomotor retardation, macular cherryred spot and proteinuria were noted at 1 year and 7 months. He was diagnosed to have nephrosialidosis on the basis of a deficiency of α-neuraminidase activity in both lymphocytes and cultured skin fibroblasts, and of severe glomerular and tubular involvement on renal biopsy. He died of multiple organ failure at 8 years and 6 months. There were numerous vacuoles and storage materials in visceral organs, particularly in the glomerular and tubular epithelial cells of the kidney and Kupffer cells as well as hepatocytes in the liver. Neuropathological examination revealed severe neuronal storage in the selected part of the central nervous system; lower motor neurons of the brain stem and spinal anterior horn cells, as well as neurons in the basal nucleus of Meynert. In the peripheral nervous system, sympathetic ganglia were severely affected. There was little or no neuronal storage in the basal ganglia, cerebral cortex or cerebellum, and demyelination was not found. Electron microscopic examination showed fine wavy multilamellar structures in the spinal anterior horn cells or Zebra body-like structures in the neurons of the Meynert's basal nucleus. Lectin histochemistry was positive for wheat germ agglutinin, Ricinus communis agglutinin-1 and peanut agglutinin within distended neurons. We conclude that the neuropathological feature in nephrosialidosis is not specific except for the selectiveness of the anatomical sites of involvement. It shares some aspects found in other types of sialidosis or galactosialidosis.

    Notes: Abstract A simple and reproducible method for cryo-preservation of brain tissue from patients with Alzheimer's disease is described. Fresh brain slices (1 cm thick) obtained less than 6 h postmortem are placed in sealed plastic bags, sandwiched between 0.3-cm-thick aluminium sheets, and frozen by placing the entire “sandwich” between layers of dry ice pellets. The frozen brain slices are stored at −85 °C. Specific anatomic areas can be retrieved at any time for light and electron microscopic, immunocytochemical, autoradiographic and neurochemical studies.

    Notes: Summary Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) has been used therapeutically in several types of mucopoly-saccharidoses (MPS) and other inherited metabolic disorders. Fibroblasts are severely affected in MPS due to the intralysosomal accumulation of glycosaminoglycans. We report a stereological and morphometric study at light and electron microscopy levels of dermal fibroblasts before and 21 months after BMT in a young girl with MPS I Scheie phenotype (MPS I-S). Dermal fibroblasts showed remarkable morphological changes although their density, expressed as number of fibroblasts per unit volume of dermis (number density), was not modified in the post-BMT samples as compared to pre-BMT ones. Stereological and morphometric parameters referring to cell characteristics of post-BMT fibroblasts (nuclear and cell surface densities, and both nucleus/cell and cell/nucleus volume densities) showed significant differences when compared with pre-BMT fibroblasts, and non-significant differences regarding control cells. On the other hand, quantitative parameters of the lysosomal compartment from post-BMT fibroblasts showed intermediate values between pre-BMT and control fibroblasts. These results, at cellular level, are in agreement with previous biochemical and clinical results, and clearly showed a progressive course to a non-pathological state. All parameters estimated may be considered useful tools in evaluating the success of BMT. These parameters provide quantitative data which can be statistically compared, showing the changes due to the reduction of storage material after BMT. Cell/nucleus volume density is especially interesting since not only is it easy to estimate, even by automatic procedures, but it could also constitute a numerical expression of skin anatomopathological analyses performed post-BMT.

    Notes: Summary In this report we describe a glioblastoma multiforme with focal granular cell change. In most astroglial tumors with granular cells, the granular appearance is due to the presence of periodic acid-Schiff-positive, membrane-bound cellular debris. In the present case the granular appearance was due to the presence of many small Rosenthal fibers, which were immunoreactive for glial fibrillary acidic protein, vimentin, ubiquitin, and heat-shock protein 27, but not for α-B crystallin. The ultrastructural characteristics are described. These findings demonstrate that granulofilamentous inclusions with the appearance of Rosenthal fibers in glial tumors are a structurally heterogeneous feature.

    Notes: Abstract An extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma in the pineal region was studied by light and electron microscopy. The immunohistochemical positivity for S-100 protein, vimentin and collagen type II favored a chondrocytic origin of the tumor. In addition to the well-described ultrastructural features suggestive of a cartilagenous nature, this tumor had unusual lamellar inclusions in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of these special inclusion bodies in a myxoid chondrosarcoma.

    Notes: Abstract The significance of the development of polyglucosan bodies (PBs) in the CNS is incompletely understood. We present the clinicopathological features of three autopsy cases with numerous PBs other than the common corpora amylacea or Lafora bodies. The first patient had pleomorphic PBs in the neuronal processes of pallidum and substantia nigra which, thus, are consistent with Bielschowsky bodies. Bielschowsky bodies involved also the hypothalamus and tegmentum of midbrain and medulla. The present case was the first not associated with any clinical symptoms. The second patient also had incidental Bielschowsky bodies in the external pallidum, substantia nigra, and pallidothalamic, pallidonigral and nigrostriatal tracts. Additionally, unique clusters of small PBs appeared in the cerebral cortex, putamen, pallidum, and caudate nucleus. Immunostaining suggested that these small clustered PBs were located in the cytoplasm and processes of astrocytes. Ultrastructurally, these clustered PBs were in agreement with previous descriptions of PBs. The third patient had adult polyglucosan body disease. Most PBs in the white matter were corpora amylacea situated in astrocytic processes or axons. In the gray matter, many pleomorphic PBs resembling Bielschowsky bodies occurred in neuronal processes. In the peripheral nervous system, a few PBs were seen in myelinated axons. The following conclusions may be drawn from this study: (1) each type of PBs develops in distinct cell types of the human brain in variable distribution; (2) Bielschowsky bodies may not manifest clinically; (3) PBs other than corpora amylacea or Lafora bodies may be distributed in localized or diffuse patterns; (4) in the localized pattern (patients 1 and 2), PBs occur as Bielschowsky bodies or clustered PBs, and tend to involve certain systems (pallidum, striatum, and substantia nigra); and (5) in the diffuse pattern (patient 3), PBs develop as corpora amylacea and Bielschowsky-like bodies of adult polyglucosan body disease.

    Notes: Summary The development of the intermediate lobe of the rabbit pituitary was investigated by light and electron microscopy and by using immunocytological techniques. The first immunoreactive melanotrophic cells were detected at the fetal day 17 in the dorsal zone of Rathke's pouch epithelium facing the neural lobe; this coincided ultrastructurally with the appearance in this area of a few cells exhibiting secretory vesicles and granular condensations in the Golgi saccules. The differentiation of the gland probably required an infundibular inductive effect. Secretory cells increased in number following a dorsoventral gradient during the next fetal and neonatal stages until postnatal day 20, the stage at which the intermediate lobe exhibited its definitive organization. The gland innervation occurred during the first days after birth. The advent of these oxytocin- and neurophysin-immunoreactive fibres coincided with an obvious stimulation of the synthetic activity of the melanotrophic cells. The possible neurotrophic effect of these cells on their innervating system remains to be established.

    Notes: Abstract The ciliary ganglia of eight healthy adult cats were studied by light and electron microscopy. The ganglion, measuring about 2 mm in length, was consistently found to be attached to the branch from the oculomotor nerve supplying the inferior oblique muscle. The number of neurons varied from 2773 to 3794 after applying Abercrombie's correction. The mean of average somal diameter of the neurons was 36.5 μm (SD = 5.0 μm) and the mean of somal cross-sectional area was 904.2 μm2 (SD = 262.8 μm2). The mean of average nuclear diameter was 13.9 urn (SD = 1.8 μm) and the mean of nuclear cross-sectional area was 142.2 μm2 (SD = 37.1 μm2). The mean of the aspect ratios of the soma and nucleus were 1.2 (SD = 0.1) and 1.1 (SD = 0.1) respectively. The frequency distributions of these parameters were all unimodal. Under the light microscope, the Nissl granules in the neurons were prominent and were distributed peripherally, perinuclearly or randomly in the cytoplasm. Under the electron microscope, the rough endoplasmic reticulum showed a similar pattern of distribution in the cytoplasm. In some neurons, glycogen-like granules were present; these were either distributed randomly throughout the cell, or aligned in single rows in relation to sub-surface cisterns and between the cisterns of smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Most of the dendrites were short protrusions from the cell body; some contained glycogen-like granules. Occasionally, the dendritic protrusions were electron-dense. All the synapses encountered were axodendritic. In most axon terminals, the synaptic vesicles were spherical and measured 30–50 nm in diameter; in some, they were flattened, measuring 50 nm by 20 nm. Some axon terminals containing either spherical or flattened synaptic vesicles also contained large dense-cored vesicles that measured 80–100 nm, while their dense core measured 40–60 nm.

    Notes: Abstract The histological and ultrastructural aspect of normal human hair follicles maintained ex vivo for 12 days was evaluated. Anagen hair follicles, dissected free of contaminating connective tissue, were maintained for up to 12 days in a serum-free medium. Macroscopic observations revealed continued viability for 12 days, at which time some follicles involuted in a manner morphologically similar to catagen. Increased growth of maintained follicles was measured from the abrupt ending of the connective tissue sheath (CTS), as no increase in this component was observed from initiation of culture. In general follicles maintained up to 8 days exhibited little divergence from normal in vivo morphologies including the persistence of functional hair bulb melanocytes — a marker of anagen. After this time melanin granules were present in dermal papilla cells, as occurs during impending involution in vivo. Heterotypic cell contact occurred in the middle to upper follicle between outer root sheath (ORS) keratinocytes and disorganized CTS. Herniation of some ORS cells away from the follicle and the occurrence of loose desmosomal junctions between ORS keratinocytes reflected loss of normal follicular cell interactions in upper follicles maintained after 8 days. Continued follicle growth correlated with the presence of mitotic matrix keratinocytes even at 12 days. After 12 days in culture most follicles involuted displaying apoptotic-like keratinocytes and hair bulb melanocytes and the presence of highly keratinized hair ‘club’ structures. While most follicles exhibited this orderly sequence of events, a few follicles involuted after 24 h with synchronous degeneration of all cells. Two follicles exhibited upregulated cortical cell differentiation at the level of the dermal papilla (DP). Normal cell cytoplasmic constituents were replaced with ribosomes and keratin bundles. This study reveals for the first time the histology and ultrastructure of normal hair follicles in culture for up to 12 days in serum-free medium. Although involuted hair follicles may exhibit some features of catagen, it is possible that the mechanisms involved are entirely different.

    Notes: Abstract Germ line cell cluster formation in ovarioles of three different stages, each from a different mayfly species, was studied using ultra-thin serial sectioning. In the analysed ovariole of Cloeön sp., only one linear, zigzag germ line cell cluster was found, consisting of sibling cells connected by intercellular bridges which represent remnants of preceding synchronized mitotic cycles followed by incomplete cytokinesis. A polyfusome stretched through all sibling cells. At the tip of the ovariole, cytokinesis occurred without preceding division of nuclei; thus, intercellular bridges were lined up but the remaining cytoplasm between the bridges had no nuclei. The analysed Siphlonurus armatus vitellarium contained five oocytes at different stages of development. Each oocyte in the vitellarium was connected via a nutritive cord to the linear cluster of its sibling cells in the terminal trophic chamber. Each cluster had the same architecture as was found in Cloëon. The 3-dimensional arrangement and distribution of closed intercellular bridges strongly suggest that all five clusters are derived from a single primary clone. The position of oocytes within each cluster is random. However, each oocyte is embraced by follicular or prefollicular cells whilst all other sibling cells are enclosed by somatic inner sheath cells, clearly distinguishable from prefollicular cells. In the analysed ovariole of Ephemerella ignita, two small linear clusters were found in the tropharium beside two single cells, two isolated cytoplasmic bags with intercellular bridges but no nuclei, and some degenerating aggregates. One cluster was still connected to a growing oocyte via a nutritive cord. In all species the nurse cells remained small and no indications of polyploidization were found. We suggest that this ancient and previously unknown telotrophic meroistic ovary has evolved directly from panoistic ancestors.

    Notes: Summary The development of microspore mother cells (MMC) and tapetum in male-fertile and male-sterile anthers of Beta vulgaris L. was compared at the electron microscope level. These studies were complemented by morphometric analyses of mitochondria in both tissues through successive stages of microsporogenesis. The earliest irregularities in the ultrastructure of male-sterile anthers were noted within the tapetum at the tetrad stage. These disturbances were initially expressed by a slight reduction in mitochondrial size and the appearance of concentric configurations of endoplasmic reticulum. As development proceeded, a further decrease in mitochondrial size become more conspicuous and was accompanied by a reduction in ribosome population and a failure of the tapetum to produce Ubisch bodies. This failure to produce Ubisch bodies is reflected in the underdevelopment of sterile microspore exine.

    Notes: Summary Structures have been found in the locular space between the tapetal cells and megaspores in Selaginella argentea and S. kraussiana that enter the megaspore wall and extend to the plasma membrane of the megaspore cytoplasm. We have called these structures “wicks”. Unless special fixation procedures are used wicks are either very poorly preserved or not apparent. Wicks appear to be routes for the transport of materials from the tapetum to developing megaspores. The entry of the wicks into the megaspore wall and their passage throughout the wall implies that the megaspore wall of Selaginella is a three-dimensional mesh-work of inter-connecting spaces. Wicks have several macromolecular-sized subunits, and the results of our histochemical reactions indicated the presence of glycoprotein and/or mucopolysaccharide. X-ray microanalysis of the S. convoluta exospore showed that silicon is present in rod-shaped structures between units of the exospore in mature megaspores. Because of the size and form of the structures between the exospore units we consider that they are remnants of wicks stabilized by silicon.

    Notes: Summary Phenylcinnoline carboxylate compounds SC-1058 and SC-1271 cause complete male sterility in wheat when applied at suitable dosages at the pre-meiotic stage of anther development. Anthers from treated and untreated plants were compared using light and electron microscopy from the pre-meiotic stage through the formation of nearly mature pollen. Overall anther development is gradually slowed in treated plants and pollen development is generally arrested in the late prevacuolate or early vacuolate microspore stage, although the first pollen mitosis does sometimes occur. The sporopollenin-containing exine walls are thinner, and show abnormally developed foot and tectum layers with sparse connecting baculi. Microspore cytoplasm degenerates and the cells eventually collapse. At the early, prevacuolate, free microspore stage treated tapetal cells hypertrophy, expanding into the locule. They contain abnormally large vacuoles that appear to form from the fusion of secretory vesicles, and some vacuoles contain electrondense deposits. The sporopollenin-containing orbicular wall and Ubisch bodies are retarded in their development and are structurally deformed. Acetolysis of whole anthers and of thick sections shows that the sporopollen-in-containing structures of treated materials are greatly reduced in thickness and are less rigid than in the control. We conclude that application of these compounds causes interference with the secretory function of tapetal cells which supplies sporopollenin cell-wall polymers to the exine of the microspores and to the tapetal orbicular wall and associated Ubisch bodies. Interference with the tapetal secretion of other nutrients required for microspore development is strongly suggested.

    Notes: Summary Several kinds of outgrowth from the grass ovule are known. Attention is focused here on one outgrowth that occurs within or around the micropyle and is of nucellar origin. Grass species in which it is currently known to occur are listed and examples of variants briefly described. Attention is concentrated upon Pennisetum, where the cell structure is described in detail with a series of electron photomicrographs. The tissue representing an aggregation of these transfer cells is newly named with the term ‘embellum’, and its significance for pollen tube growth is considered.

    Notes: Summary The ultrastructure of the epidermal and sub-epidermal cells of the appendix of the Sauromatum guttatum inflorescence reveals developmental changes during anthesis. These changes precede, and probably make possible, heat and odor production. Two days before D-day (the day of heat production and inflorescence-opening) the mitochondria of the epidermis divide; apparent division of the amyloplasts was observed at the same time. The presence of lipid bodies and peroxisomes in the epidermis was clearly evident. On D-day, the epidermis becomes a continuous layer in which the cell walls separating two adjacent cells disappear. At the same time, in the sub-epidermal cells, the mitochondria and the amyloplasts undergo division. The mitochondria become electron-dense, and their DNA is clearly visible. On that day, lipids as well as starch are being depleted. The peroxisomes change in structure every day, from D-2 to D-day. It has also been demonstrated by histochemical techniques that during anthesis the activity of cytochrome c oxidase (3,3-diaminobenzidine as a substrate) decreases whereas the activity of NADH dehydrogenase [tetrazolium salts: nitro-blue tetrazolium chloride (NBT) or neotetrazolium chloride (NT) in the presence of NADH], increases. Oxygen consumption of isolated mitochondria from the D-day appendix was inhibited in the presence of the two tetrazolium salts to a different degree: oxidation of NADH in the presence of NBT was the most sensitive to inhibition, more so than the oxidation of malate and succinate. NT was less effective as an inhibitor in the presence of those three respiratory substrates.

    Notes: Abstract 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is known for inducing cortical atrophy in the rat thymus. The present study was conducted to provide ultrastructural evidence for the cortical epithelium to be a target for TCDD in vivo. Juvenile male Wistar rats were orally intubated once with either 50 or 150 μg/kg TCDD and killed 4 or 10 days thereafter. Major changes were found in the cortical thymic epithelium. First, a relative shift occurred from “pale” to darker cortical epithelial cell types, as judged by their nuclear and cytoplasmic electron density. This effect was most prominent at 10 days after exposure to 150 μg/kg TCDD. The increased electron density of the cortical epithelium indicates an altered state of cellular differentiation. Secondly, at the 150 μg/kg dose level focal epithelial cell aggregates were seen both at day 4 and day 10 after administration. This aggregation may either be compound induced or represent a secondary event to the collapse of the thymic stroma. Thirdly, increased vacuolation of cortical epithelial cells was apparent. This effect is interpreted as a consequence rather than a cause of thymocyte depletion from the cortex. This study indicates that TCDD exposure affects the cortical epithelium of the rat thymus at a high dose level. Electron microscopy reveals that the differentiation of epithelial cells is altered. In addition, epithelial cell aggregates are formed.

    Notes: Abstract Cultural investigations revealed that Naemacyclus minor, Lophodermium seditiosum and Cenangium ferruginosum were the most frequent colonizers of asymptomatic and symptomatic Pinus sylvestris needles. Since ultrastructural observations showed that morphological features were not suitable to differentiate hyphae of N. minor from hyphae of other isolates, the on-section immunogold labelling technique was applied in combination with an anti-N. minor specific immunoserum. The specificity of this serum was tested against culture hyphae of all isolates. Anti-N. minor specific immunoserum was then used to identify N. minor hyphae in thin sections of green P. sylvestris needles. The infection loci identified were restricted to small tissue areas located in the vicinity of stomata. In the hypodermis, hyphae and endocell-containing hyphae were located within the lumina of host cells but outside the protoplast. The growth of hyphae from cell to cell occurred through pits. The hyphae spreat into the mesophyll intercellularly and continued with the intracellular colonization of moribund and dead mesophyll cells in a later stage of infection. The observed host-parasite interactions at cellular and ultrastructural level are discussed in connection with the still controversial interpretation of the pathogenicity of N. minor.

    Notes: Abstract The ultrastructure of vegetative cells and spores of Bacillus pulvifaciens was studied by CTEM and SEM methods. The vegetative cells are rods, 1.6–4.5 μm long and 0.4–0.6 μm wide, exhibiting typical ultrastructural features of Gram-positive bacteria. The spores are of ellipsoidal shape, 0.6×1.2 μm in size, with six longitudinal ribs reaching up to 130 nm in height. There are satelite ribs on both sides of the longitudinal ribs, reaching up to 20 nm in height. Between the longitudinal ribs, additional transversal ribs were observed in SEM. A special tubular layer, separating the outer and inner coat of the spores, was revealed in ultrathin sections. This layer seems to be a typical ultrastructural feature of Bacillus pulvifaciens spores.

    Notes: Abstract The formation of quasi-multicellular bodies of Treponema denticola was analysed using different electron microscopical methods. These bacteria could develop four different conformations: (i) normal helical forms; (ii) twisted spirochetes, forming plaits; (iii) twisted spirochetes, forming club-like structures; (iv) spherical bodies in different size. Treponemes within spherical bodies, plaits, and clubs proved to be enclosed in a common outer sheath in which the normal arrangement of their axial flagella was lost. The development of the quasi-multicellular bodies starting from the monoforme spirochetes was elucidated and this morphogenetic process is illustrated by a schematic drawing. Factors which might be involved in the induction of the structures are discussed and their possible pathogenetic importance is considered.

The existence of MHC class II antigen-(Ia) expressing, ATPase-positive dendritic cells, which are ultrastructurally similar to mammalian Langerhans cells except for the absence of Birbeck granules, was demonstrated. These cells may be a basic component of the immune system of birds.

    Notes: Summary The development of endocrine cells in the chicken proventriculus has been investigated using light-and electron-microscopy in conjunction with silver and immunocytochemical techniques. The first morphologically detectable endocrine cells were found in 5-day-old embryos by electron microscopy. From the 9th to the 13th day, endocrine cells in contact with the lumen of the organ could be detected both by electron and light (silver impregnation) microscopy. The number of open-type endocrine cells progressively decreased and the number of closed-type increased after this stage. Until the 16th day, endocrine cells were located exclusively in the luminal epithelium, but afterwards they appeared in progressively greater numbers in the compound glands. After hatching, long cytoplasmic processes could be seen in the endocrine cells. Immunoreactivities to regulatory substances appeared in the following order: serotonin (day-14), avian pancreatic polypeptide, glucagon and somatostatin (day-16), bombesin and neurotensin (day-18), and finally, met-enkephalin (day-21).

    Notes: Abstract The effects of dietary thyroxine on the immunoreactivity of cells in the pars distalis of the adenohypophysis in dwarf (dw/dw) mice were determined by ultrastructural immunocytochemistry. In nontreated dwarfs only adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) cells and luteinizing hormone (LH) cells showed positive reactions to their respective antibodies, whereas no cells showed immunoreactivity to antibodies to growth hormone (GH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), or prolactin (Prl). In dwarfs supplemented postnatally with dietary thyroxine for 9 wks, the treatment failed to produced immunoreactive GH, TSH or Prl cells. However, LH cells became more prominent and fully developed, with denser concentrations of immunoreactive particles overlying the secretory granules than occurred in nontreated dwarfs. In thyroxine-treated dwarfs, ACTH cells were similar in ultrastructural features and immunoreactivity to those in nontreated dwarfs.

    Notes: Summary The proliferation rate of differentiating fetal rat adrenocortical cells was studied in primary culture. In this system, stimulation with ACTH induces differentiation of zona glomerulosa-like cortical cells into zona fasciculata-like cells. Incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was studied immunocytochemically by use of anti-BrdU antibody, and the proliferation rate was counted from the monolayer colonies of adrenocortical cells. After 21 days of cultivation in the absence of ACTH, the proliferation rate of zona glomerulosa-like cells was 10%. The rate slowly declined to 1% at the age of 100 days during continuous cultivation in the absence of ACTH. Stimulation with ACTH induced a strong inhibition in the proliferation rate (down to 2% during the first 24 h). Treatment with ACTH during the following 48 h led to an extremely intense proliferation of adrenocortical cells at a proliferation rate of 25%. Continuous treatment with ACTH up to 100 days led to a persistent growth of adrenocortical cells, and a proliferation rate over 2-fold higher than in control cells cultivated in the absence of ACTH. Thus, ACTH is the principal growth-promoting factor also in vitro, as has been found in in vivo studies. This growth effect is mediated by a biphasic course; at the beginning of differentiation the effect is inhibitory and is followed by a persistent stimulation of the growth of adrenocortical cells.

    Notes: Abstract The ultrastructure of testicular interstitium in young and aged adult rats was analysed using morphometric methods, and the plasma testosterone concentration was measured. With increasing age there was an augumentation in the volume of collagen fibrils in the intercellular matrix and in blood vessels. During the aging process (approximately two years) the average volume of the Leydig cell decreased from 1364 μm3 to 637 μm3, but the number of Leydig cells in paired testes increased from 53x106 to 113x106. The absolute volume of smooth surfaced endoplasmic reticulum (SER) per Leydig cell amounted in aged rats to 78% of that in young adult rats. The total amount of SER in paired testes increased by 62% with aging. The present analysis suggests that the ability of SER to maintain peripheral testosterone concentration decreases with age. In young adult rats the absolute volume of peroxisomes per Leydig cell correlated significantly with the concentration of testosterone in blood and also with the absolute volume of SER per Leydig cell. These results combined with ultrastructural observations of close apposition of peroxisomes and SER suggest that peroxisomes have a role in testosterone secretion by Leydig cells.

    Notes: Abstract The histamine-producing enterochromaffinlike (ECL) cells in the acid-producing portion of the rat stomach responded to long-standing hypergastrinemia (omeprazole treatment daily for 8–10 weeks) with hypertrophy (and hyperplasia) and with a reduced number of granules and vesicles per unit cytoplasm. There was a reduction in the ratio of electron-dense granules versus vesicles and an increase in the profile diameter of the vesicles. Also, portacaval shunting (PCS) induced changes in the ECL cells, manifesting (i) as an increase in cell number and size, and (ii) as a reduced number of granules and vesicles per unit area. The cytoplasmic granules and vesicle profiles were enlarged, and the ratio of granules versus vesicles was reduced. The combination of PCS and long-standing hypergastrinemia (omeprazole treatment) produced a greatly enhanced ECL cell hypertrophy (and hyperplasia) and a marked reduction in the number of granules. The ratio of granules versus vesicles was markedly reduced while the profile diameters of both granules and vesicles were increased. The relative predominance of very large vesicles (vacuoles) was a prominent feature of the ECL cells in these rats.

    Notes: Abstract The distribution of nerve fibres in the mucosa of the nasal septum of the rat was investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy on transverse and tangential ultrathin sections. Near the basement membrane of respiratory and squamous epithelium, a rather dense network of unmyelinated nerve fibres occurs. Some fibres in the respiratory epithelium ascend between the epithelial cells to reach up to the tight junctions. These fibres appeared in transverse sections to end as hooks or boutons, sometimes with branches. These shapes resemble the free nerve endings that are considered to act as nociceptors. The small intraepithelial fibres, with diameters of about 0.5–1 μm, contain both dense granules and clear vesicles comparable to synaptic vesicles. Substance P was found in dense granules in basal fibres; vasoactive intestinal peptide was absent throughout the epithelium. Acetylcholinesterase activity was observed closely associated with the basal fibres; the apical fibres showed little if any activity. Membrane specializations pointing to an efferent function as well as structures usually associated with mechanoreceptive functions were lacking in both respiratory and squamous epithelium.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of gonadectomy and testosterone treatment on the fine structure of the Harderian gland in male and female green frogs were investigated in different periods of the year. Gonadectomy, carried out when the glands are in the lowest secretory phase (September), causes degenerative changes consisting of a reduction of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, the appearance of autolysosomes, and an increase of nuclear heterochromatin. These effects can be prevented by testosterone treatment. No castration effects are found during the recovery (November) and enhancement (April-May) phases of secretory activity. The results suggest that the frog Harderian gland's sensitivity to testosterone changes during the annual cycle. The androgen dependence of the Harderian gland is correlated with the presence of androgen receptors in both male and female forgs.

    Notes: Abstract To determine whether lipid-secreting cells have cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]c)-related secretory mechanisms, morphological changes and intracellular calcium dynamics of Harderian glands of guinea pigs stimulated by secretagogs were studied by electron microspy and Fura-2/AM digital image analysis. Control glandular cells contained large lipid vacuoles that were bordered by multi-layered membranes. Rough-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and smooth-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum may be involved in lipid vacuole formation. Myoepithelial cells surrounded alveoli. After carbamylcholine (CCh, 10−6, 10−5, and 10−3 M) stimulation, lipid materials within the membranous structures were frequently discharged by an exocytotic mechanism. Conspicuous deformation of glandular cells caused by vigorous contraction of myoepithelial cells was observed in isolated alveoli after 10−6M CCh stimulation, whereas the deformaties of glandular tissues perfused via vessels were small even after 10−3M CCh stimulation. Connective tissue between glandular alveoli inhibited unbridled myoepithelial-cell contraction. Fura-2/AM digital imaging analysis revealed that CCh stimulation caused an increase in [Ca2+]c in isolated alveoli. The morphological reactions and changes in [Ca2+]c were prevented by atropine. When extracellular calcium ions were absent, enhanced extrusion of lipid vacuoles, myoepithelial-cell contraction, and a rise in [Ca2+]c after CCh stimulation were not observed. Nicotine and catecholamines had no effect on the secretion or on the dynamics of [Ca2+]c. It can be concluded that acetylcholine elicits exocytosis in glandular cells and contraction of the myoepithelial cells of Harderian glands, accompanied by an increase in [Ca2+]c. The dynamics of [Ca2+]c of the gland alveoli are mostly dependent on extracellular Ca2+.

    Notes: Abstract Insulin (B)-, somatostatin 25 (SST-25) (D1)-, somatostatin 14 (SST-14) (D2)-, glucagon (A)-, and glucagon PP/PYY/NPY (PP-like)-immunoreactive cells in islets of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) were characterized according to their ultrastructure and immunogold labeling. Cells labeled with antisera to bonito and salmon insulin had numerous secretory granules with a small halo and round core, and a few with wide halo and round or crystalloid core. Gold particles were found throughout the granule in tissue labeled with the former but only in the core in tissue labeled with the latter. D1 cells had large granules with a medium electron-dense content and some with a darker core. D2 had smaller medium or high electron-dense secretory granules than D1 cells, located mainly in cell periphery. Glucagon-immunoreactive cells contained some granules with a polygonal core that was heavily labeled and other granules with a round core with no or hardly any labeling. Glucagon and PP-like immunoreactivity were co-localized in secretory granules, in which the gold particles showed no different distribution with the various antisera used. PYY-immunoreactive granules were also found in nerve endings. All the pancreatic endocrine cell types showing involutive characteristics are found.

    Notes: Abstract The integument of the hagfish Myxine glutinosa is described with respect to the topography and the fine structural organization of the dermal and hypodermal nerve fiber plexus. Both nerve fiber plexuses contain small ganglion cells with axodendritic and axosomatic synapscs. The six barbels of the head (4 nasal and 2 oral barbels) are supplied with about 5600 afferent trigeminal nerve fibers via the right and left ophthalmic nerve. With respect to the topography of the sensory nerve terminals in the barbels different types of receptors are termed the external cuff receptor, internal cuff receptor, and perichondrial receptor. Free nerve terminals occur within the epidermal layer, especially at the tip region of the barbels and in the glassy membrane of the dermis. The hypodermal edge receptor organ extends from the ventral nasal barbel to the oral barbel. A mechanoreceptive function of the different receptor types is discussed. The innervation pattern of the barbel is similar to the innervation of the mammalian sinus hair. In this context, the barbel is a highly differentiated receptor organ able to explore the nearest surroundings with high stereognostic perception. The ganglion cells of the skin seem to represent a part of the peripheral autonomic nervous system, which is involved in the control of secretion mechanisms.

    Notes: Abstract We have previously shown that an antibody against neuron-specific enolase (NSE) selectively labels Müller cells (MCs) in the anuran retina (Wilhelm et al. 1992). In the present study the light- and electron-microscopic morphology of MCs and their distribution were described in the retina of the toad, Bufo marinus, using the above antibody. The somata of MCs were located in the proximal part of the inner nuclear layer and were interconnected with each other by their processes. The MCs were uniformly distributed across the retina with an average density of 1500 cells/mm2. Processes of MCs encircled the somata of photoreceptor cells isolating them from each other by glial sheath, except for those of the double cones. Some of the photoreceptor pedicles remained free of glial sheath. Electron-microscopic observations confirmed that MC processes provide an extensive scaffolding across the neural retina. At the outer border of the ganglion cell layer these processes formed a non-continuous sheath. The MC processes traversed through the ganglion cell layer and spread beneath it between the neuronal somata and the underlying optic axons. These processes formed a continuous inner limiting membrane separating the optic fibre layer from the vitreous tissue. Neither astrocytic nor oligodendrocytic elements were found in the optic fibre layer. The significance of the uniform MC distribution and the functional implications of the observed pattern of MC scaffolding are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The tertiary component of the myenteric plexus consists of interlacing fine nerve fibre bundles that run between its principal ganglia and connecting nerve strands. It was revealed by zinc iodide-osmium impregnation and substance P immunohistochemistry at the light-microscope level. The plexus was situated against the inner face of the longitudinal muscle and was present along the length of the small intestine at a density that did not vary markedly from proximal to distal. Nerve bundles did not appear to be present in the longitudinal muscle as judged by light microscopy, although numberous fibre bundles were encountered within the circular muscle layer. At the ultrastructural level, nerve fibre bundles of the tertiary plexus were found in grooves formed by the innermost layer of longitudinal smooth muscle cells. In the distal parts of the small intestine, some of these nerve fibre bundles occasionally penetrated the longitudinal muscle coat. Vesiculated profiles in nerve fibre bundles of the tertiary plexus contained variable proportions of small clear and large granular vesicles; they often approached to within 50–200 nm of the longitudinal smooth muscle cells. Fibroblast-like cells lay between strands of the tertiary plexus and the circular muscle but were never intercalated between nerve fibre varicosities and the longitudinal muscle. These anatomical relationships are consistent with the tertiary plexus being the major site of neurotransmission to the longitudinal muscle of the guinea-pig small intestine.

    Notes: Summary Elastase (ELA) is an enzyme catalyzing the digestion of elastin, an essential constituent of elastic fibers. Using isolated guinea pig papillary muscles, we examined the effect of ELA (3 × 10−7 −3 × 10−4 g/ml) on resting tension (RT) and twitch tension (TT). The effects of ELA on elastic fibers located in the subendocardium were examined histologically. A relatively high concentration of ELA (3 × 10−4 g/ml) increased TT transiently, with progressive decreases in RT. In contrast, a relatively low concentration (3 × 10−5 g/ml) decreased both TT and RT straightforwardly. Much lower concentrations (3 × 10−6 −3 × 10−7 g/ml) did not reveal significant effects. The ELA-induced increases in TT were unaffected in the presence of atenolol (10−5 g/ml), ouabain (10−7M) or ryanodine (10−6M). ELA did not increase the maximum rate of rise of slow action potentials recorded using standard microelectrodes.ELA (3 × 10−5 g/ml) decreased the maximum TT obtained at optimal RT or Lmax, and decreased the slope of the ascending and descending limbs of the TT-RT relation curve (Frank-Starling's). Electronmicroscopic findings revealed that subendocardial elastin was mostly digested at ELA concentrations of 3 × 10−5 −3 × 10−4 g/ml. These findings suggest that the decrease of RT by ELA may be, at least in part, caused by a decomposition of the elastic fibers. On the other hand, the increase of TT by ELA could not be attributed to a release of endogenous catecholamine, an inhibition of Na+, K+-pump, a release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum, or an increase of slow inward current.

    Notes: Summary The sub-cellular localization of some nitrogen compounds within the leaf cavities ofAzolla filiculoides Lam. was obtained by means of electron spectroscopic imaging (ESI) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). The analyses were performed on ultrathin unstained sections of differentAzolla leaf cavities which contain epidermal hairs,Anabaena azollae Strasb. and bacteria. Net nitrogen distributions were visualized by image analysis, and nitrogen peaks were evidenced in spectra recorded in the same areas. Different distributions of nitrogen compounds were observed within the leaf cavities along the stem, in particular inside the epidermal hairs ofAzolla and the vegetative cells and heterocysts ofA. azollae.

    Notes: Summary Actin distribution and ultrastructure of the fission yeastSchizosaccharomyces pombe treated with cytochalasin A (CA) were investigated by fluorescence microscopy using rhodamine-conjugated phalloidin (rh-ph) and freeze substitution electron microscopy. Among the cytochalasins tested, CA was most effective and at 5 μg/ ml inhibited the appearance of the actin ring at the cell equator at the stage prior to septum formation and the accumulation of actin dots at the septum-forming site both in wild-type cells and the mutantcdc 11, which is defective in septum formation at restrictive temperature. Freeze substitution electron microscopy of CA-treated cells revealed the displacement and morphological alteration of cytoplasmic vesicles and dictyosomes within 30 min and the appearance of dense bodies in the cytoplasm. A sub-population of cytoplasmic vesicles and dictyosomes were insensitive to CA and maintained their original structure. An electron less dense layer containing filamentous material was noted beneath the plasma membrane and thought to be the area of heavy actin patches stained with rh-ph at the cells ends. These results suggest that CA disrupted an actin network that normally maintains the organization of the secretory pathway involving dictyosomes and vesicles.

    Notes: Summary High-pressure freezing/freeze-substitution/TEM were employed for studying plasma membrane coatings in mature pollen grains. Data are presented on 6 species belonging to 4 not closely related orders. Two sorts of coatings were observed at the cytoplasmic face of the vegetative plasma membrane bordering the generative cell: (i) A dense, uniform layer with an average thickness of 10 nm (“fluffy coating”). (ii) “Strip-shaped projections” protruding rectangularly into the vegetative cytoplasm. They are 25 to 35 nm in height and set at a constant distance of about 30 nm from each other. Their maximum length, estimated from grazing sections, is about 400 nm. This is the first description of periodically arranged plasma membrane protrusions in freeze-substituted plant cells. Both kinds of membrane coatings are species-and age-dependent features. Especially “strip-shaped projections” are frequently intimately associated with polymorphic endoplasmic reticulum surrounding the generative cell, a hitherto unreported pattern. It is presumed that “strip-shaped projections” are similar to, or even identical with, “ordered ridges” observed in freeze-fracturedPhoenix dactylifera pollen.

    Notes: Summary The development of the generative cell (GC) was examined in the bicellular pollen ofCyrtandra pendula. The essential stages are: (1) GC attached to the inline, (2) GC detached and spheroidal in shape, (3) GC mature and elongated. Cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the vegetative cell are in close contact with the GC at all stages of development. In stages (1) and (2) the entire, slightly undulated surface of the GC is surrounded by tightly appressed, single ER tubules or short stacks. In mature pollen grains (stage 3) the shape of the GC as well as the arrangement of the surrounding ER changes conspicuously. The GC is now spindleshaped and its surface is wrinkled. An ER tubule is present in each invagination. These ER tubules form a cage-like framework around the GC. In the cytoplasm of the generative cell, 6 to 7 microtubular bundles with longitudinal orientation can be observed. They seem to be responsible for maintaining the elongate shape of the GC. During all stages of development vegetative ER cisternae are the only elements intimately associated with the GC wall. This feature indicates that the ER may contribute to the formation of the undulated outer shape of the GC. Also discussed is the possibility that energy-carrying substances are conveyed into the GC through the channels of ER.

    Notes: Summary Brassica napus cv. Topas microspores isolated and cultured near the first pollen mitosis and subjected to a heat treatment develop into haploid embryos at a frequency of about 20%. In order to obtain a greater understanding of the induction process and embryogenesis, transmission electron microscopy was used to study the development of pollen from the mid-uninucleate to the bicellular microspore stage. The effect of 24 h of high temperature (32.5 °C) on microspore development was examined by heat treating microspore cultures or entire plants. Mid-uninucleate microspores contained small vacuoles. Late-uninucleate vacuolate microspores contained a large vacuole. The large vacuole of the vacuolate stage was fragmented into numerous small vacuoles in the late-uninucleate stage. The late-uninucleate stage contained an increased number of ribosomes, a pollen coat covering the exine and a laterally positioned nucleus. Prior to the first pollen mitosis the nucleus of the lateuninucleate microspore appeared to be appressed to the plasma membrane; numerous perinuclear microtubules were observed. Microspores developing into pollen divided asymmetrically to form a large vegetative cell with amyloplasts and a small generative cell without plastids. The cells were separated by a lens-shaped cell wall which later diminished. At the late-bicellular stage the generative cell was observed within the vegetative cell. Starch and lipid reserves were present in the vegetative cell and the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi were abundant. The microspore isolation procedure removed the pollen coat, but did not redistribute or alter the morphology of the organelles. Microspores cultured at 25 °C for 24 h resembled late-bicellular microspores except more starch and a thicker intine were present. A more equal division of microspores occurred during the 24 h heat treatment (32.5 °C) of the entire plant or of cultures. A planar wall separated the cells of the bicellular microspores. Both daughter cells contained plastids and the nuclei were of similar size. Cultured embryogenie microspores contained electron-dense deposits at the plasma membrane/cell wall interface, vesicle-like structures in the cell walls and organelle-free regions in the cytoplasm. The results are related to embryogenesis and a possible mechanism of induction is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Ornithogalum virens is a bicellular pollen species. In mature pollen, the generative nucleus is at advanced prophase. Mitosis of the generative cell is resumed just after pollen rehydration and prometaphase occurs within 10 min of germination. Prometaphase is manifested by nuclear envelope breakdown and the appearance of spindle microtubules in the nucleoplasm region. At this stage the number of cytoplasmic microtubules located in the generative cell periphery appears to decrease. Endoplasmic reticulum-like cisternae originating from the nuclear envelope tend to be spaced around the chromosomes, outside the area of the forming mitotic spindle. Some also begin to penetrate the spindle area. The results are discussed in terms of the generative cell cycle in bicellular pollen.

    Notes: Summary Spontaneous nodules were formed on the primary roots of alfalfa plants in the absence ofRhizobium. Histologically, these white single-to-multilobed structures showed nodule meristems, cortex, endodermis, central zone, and vascular strands. Nodules were devoid of bacteria and infection threads. Instead, the larger cells were completely filled with many starch grains while smaller cells had very few or none. Xylem parenchyma and phloem companion cells exhibited long, filiform and branched wall ingrowths. The characteristic features of both types of transfer cells were polarity of wall ingrowths, high cytoplasmic density, numerous mitochondria, abundant ribosomes, well-developed nucleus and nucleolus, and vesicles originated from rough endoplasmic reticulum. These results were compared with normal nodules induced byRhizobium. Our results suggest that xylem parenchyma and phloem companion transfer cells are active and probably involved in the short distance transport of solutes in and out of spontaneous nodules. Since younger nodules showed short, papillate, and unbranched wall ingrowths, and older tissue showed elongated, filiform and branched wall ingrowths, the development of wall ingrowths seemed to be gradual rather then abrupt. The occurrence of both type-A and -B wall ingrowths suggests that phloem companion transfer cells may be active in loading and unloading of sieve elements. Since there were no symbiotic bacteria and thus no fixed nitrogen, it is tempting to speculate that xylem parenchyma transfer cells may be re-transporting accumulated carbon from starch grains to the rest of the plant body by loading xylem vessels. Fusion of ER-originated vesicles with wall ingrowth membrane indicated the involvement of ER in the membrane formation for elongating wall ingrowths. Since transfer cells were a characteristic feature of both spontaneous andRhizobium-induced nodules, their occurrence and development is controlled by the genetic make-up of alfalfa plant and not by a physiological source or sink emanating from symbiotic bacteria.

    Notes: Summary A comparison of embryos, cultured for increasing periods of time with and without abscisic acid (ABA), was undertaken to investigate, at the ultrastructural level, the influence of this growth regulator on the maturation of rapeseed (Brassica napus) somatic embryos. In the absence of ABA, the embryos germinated precociously while lipid bodies (LB), which were not numerous, soon degraded, as revealed by a depletion process associated with the appearance of morphologically mature glyoxysomes and an increase in the number of mitochondria. Moreover, a lack of protein bodies indicated that storage protein accumulation was not initiated under these conditions. On the contrary, the addition of ABA (10 μM) induced marked modification of embryo metabolism. Indeed, ABA completely prevented precocious embryo germination and inhibited lipid reserve catabolism. Moreover, the formation of small vacuoles and proliferation of rough endoplasmic reticulum in their vicinity suggested the onset of storage protein accumulation. After 15 days in the presence of ABA, the embryos contained abundant lipid and protein bodies. Nevertheless, these somatic embryos were not exactly the same as their mature zygotic counterparts since differences were found in chloroplasts, amyloplasts, and nuclear structures. These observations suggest that additional factors might be required to obtain fully mature somatic embryos.

    Notes: Summary Muscle biopsies from the vastus lateralis muscle of patients who had undergone anterior cruciate ligament surgery under conditions of tourniquet-induced ischaemia were examined under the electron microscope at different periods of time up to 90 min of ischaemia. The severity of the alterations in ultrastructure appeared to depend on the period of ischaemia. The pathological changes consisted of accumulation of lysosomes, persistent intrafibre oedema, and some extracellular oedema. Signs of fibre necrosis were found after 90 min of ischaemia. Capillary ultrastructure was only altered with regard to some swelling of the endothelium and marked thickening of the basement membrane. It was concluded that skeletal muscle could be severely affected even during relatively short periods of ischaemia, which might facilitate the development of muscle atrophy during immobilization after orthopaedic surgery.

    Notes: Summary We have compared four different sialagogues and their degranulating effect on serous and mucous cells, and their long-term effects. From this and earlier experiments, even within the groups of α- and β-adrenergic agents used, the effects varied on the serous and mucous cells. Previous studies have shown that cyclocytidine effectively degranulates serous cells without signs of cellular damage, while carbachol predominantly affects mucous acinar cells but gives early rise to permanent gland damage. Noradrenaline affects both serous and mucous cells, predominantly affecting serous cells with initial mitochondrial damage. Clonidine partially depletes both serous and mucous cells of their granules, producing permanent cellular damage. One month after a single injection of cyclocytidine the early findings described had disappeared. Carbachol showed permanent damage to salivary gland parenchyma, and both noradrenaline and clonidine demonstrated a long-term effect on acinar mucinous cells.

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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    Description / Table of Contents: Makroporöse Membranen aus Terpolymeren von 2,3-Epoxypropylmethacrylat, N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidon und Ethylendimethacrylat, wurden durch radikalische Suspensionscopolymerisation hergestellt und danach mit Ammoniak modifiziert. 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.

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.

    Description / Table of Contents: Aktiviertes Aluminiumoxid wurde mit den Produkten der Reaktionen von chlormethyliertem Polystyrol mit Diethylamin, von Poly(styro1-co-chlormethylstyrol) mit Diethanolamin und von Poly(styro1-co-glycidylmethacrylat) mit Diethanolamin belegt und zur Adsorption von Escherichia-coli-Bakterien aus Wasser eingesetzt. 100 mg belegtes Trägermaterial wurden mit einer E.-coli-Suspension (20 ml, 107-8 Zellen/ml) gerührt, wobei die Zahl der lebensfähigen Zellen durch Adsorption abnahm; das Adsorptionsgleichgewicht wurde nach etwa 2 h erreicht. Der Abnahme-Koeffizient D (entspricht der Adsorptionsgeschwindigkeitskonstante) wurde aus der Abnahme der Zahl der lebensfähigen Zellen nach 2 h Adsorption gemessen.
    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.
