    Notes: The potential of using indigenous microorganisms in beach sediments to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons emanating from marine oil spillages in the Straits of Singapore was investigated. A field trial was conducted using oil contaminated beach sediments from Pulau Semakau - a small island 15 km south of Singapore. The results clearly show that the addition of inorganic nutrients to beach sediments significantly enhanced the activity of indigenous microorganisms (measured using the dehydrogenase enzyme assay and viable cell count techniques), as well as the removal of total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPH) over a 50-day study period (with up to 44% in the case of nutrient addition). The potential of exploiting in-situ bioremediation techniques for oil spill clean-up operations in tropical marine environments is discussed.

    Notes: The biosynthesis of bacterial cellulose by Acetobacter xylinum was optimized by numerically finding the maximum of an arbitrarily chosen second order polynomial model function of several variables (describing the dependence of the cellulose production on the concentrations of the medium components), using multivariable linear regression analysis. The chosen function appeared to describe the analyzed correlation sufficiently well. Consequently, three to six stages of optimization made the determination of the optimum medium compositions possible for 16 days of fermentation at 30°C in a medium based on fructose (wt%: fructose, 3.68; yeast extract, 5.02; (NH4)2NO3, 0.001; KH2PO4, 0.3; MgSO4 × 7 H2O, 0.05; resulting in a cellulose production equal to 0.505 wt.% - namely 5.6 times higher than before the optimization) and for 7 days fermentations at 30°C in a medium based on sucrose and ethanol (wt.%: sucrose, 5.0; ethanol, 1.36; yeast extract, 1.27; (NH4)2SO4, 0.5; KH2PO4, 0.3; MgSO4 × 7 H2O, 0.05; resulting in a cellulose production equal to 0.251 wt.% - namely 1.5 times higher than before the optimization).

    Notes: The stability of a polyphenol oxidase (PPO) preparation from the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor during a process for the enzymatic decrease of the phenolic content of commercial canola meal (CM) was investigated. The effects of temperature, pH, protein origin and concentration, and meal particles were considered. The results showed that the thermal stability of the enzyme preparation was significantly increased in the presence of CM. The half-life times for the enzyme preparation, pre-incubated with CM at 50, 60, 70 and 75°C, were 45, 10.5, 3.5 and 1.5 hours, respectively; this represents an increase in the thermal stability of the enzyme preparation of up to four times in the presence of CM compared to the stability in the absence of CM. This effect was caused by the protective actions of both the CM particles and CM proteins, with the former responsible for 90% of the observed effect. The thermal stability of the enzyme in the presence of CM, from which 20% of the extractable proteins was extracted, was 5% lower compared to the stability in the presence of untreated CM. Changes in pH level from 5.0 to 3.2 resulted in a loss of stability comparable to that observed when the pre-incubation temperature was increased from 50 to 70°C.A semi-empirical model describing the changes in the concentration of the active enzyme pre-incubated in the presence and absence of CM at various incubation temperatures was proposed. A very good agreement between the model and experimental data was obtained. The proposed model, together with a general set of model parameters, can be used as a tool for the optimization of a process for the upgrade of CM by enzymatically decreasing the meal's phenolic content.

    Notes: A non-comprehensive review of several technical developments in the field of aerobic biological waste-water treatment engineering is carried out, considering the active role the engineers have to play in this field. This paper brings together conventional and advanced problems in the field of aerobic biological waste-water treatment.Such an overview of biological waste-water treatment also precedes comments on some important aspects concerning the microorganisms responsible for waste-water treatment as well as considerations of the application of fundamentals and kinetics to the analysis of the biological processes used most commonly for aerobic biological waste-water treatment.A survey of the development of the biological activated-sludge process and some modifications are given. Some problems implied in the conventional activated-sludge waste-water treatment are analyzed, considering conventional processes and bioreactor models (the continuous stirred-tank reactor model and the plug-flow reactor models of the activated-sludge process) as well as aerated lagoons.Further, modifications of the activated-sludge process are presented. These include additional details on the bioreactor progress and applications, with emphasis on aspects concerning airlift bioreactors and their variants, deep-shaft bioreactors and reciprocating jet bioreactors which are considered as the third generation of bioreactors owing to their important advantages in design, operation and performance in waste-water treatment. Sequencing-batch reactors and aerobic digestion processes, including conventional aerobic digestion, high-purity oxygen digestion, thermophilic aerobic digestion and cryophylic aerobic digestion are also reviewed.Finally, some aspects regarding the operational factors that are involved in the selection of the reactor type are included.

    Notes: In the first part of the experiments, the mechanical properties of 1%, 2% and 3% carrageenan and 1%, 2% and 3% carrageenan/locust bean gum (LBG) gels stored in various concentrations of propionic and acetic acids and their mixtures were examined. The stability of these materials was measured by uniaxial compression between two parallel plates using the Instron Universal Testing Machine. A mathematical model explaining the dependence of the destroying force on the storage time was chosen for data analysis. Using this model, the average rate of gel deterioration was calculated. The structural properties of the examined gels were most influenced by the highest concentration of propionic and acetic acids and their mixtures (1% acetic acid and 2% propionic acid). The addition of LBG to carrageenan decreased the gel destroying force and increased its resistance to acids.In the second part of the experiments, the Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii NCFB 1081 and NCFB 566 were immobilized in a living state in 1%, 2% and 3% carrageenan and 1%, 2% and 3% carrageenan/LBG gels. The ammonia consumption, glucose utilization, production of propionic and acetic acids and the biosynthesis of vitamin B12 were examined. An increase in the productivity of propionic acid and a significant decrease in the vitamin B12 produced in the biosynthesis were observed when immobilized cells were used. The immobilization of cells enhanced the productivity of propionic acid by up to 40% compared to free cells. The best results were obtained for the second and third applications of immobilized cells in all concentrations of carrageenan gels and 2% and 3% carrageenan/LBG gels The results showed that carrageenan/LBG is a better support material for the immobilization of propionic acid bacteria than the pure carrageenan.

    Notes: The bioaccumulation of cadmium by the white rot fungus Pleurotus sajor-caju onto dry biomass was investigated using aqueous media with concentrations in the range of 0.125 mM-1.0 mM The highest cadmium uptake (between 88.9 and 91.8%) was observed with aerobic fungal biomass from the exponential growth phase. Up to 1.0 mM cadmium gradually inhibited mycelium development, but never blocked it completely. Freeze-dried, oven-dried and non-metabolizing live Pleurotus sajor-caju biomass types were tested for their capacity to adsorb the test ion Cd2+ within the pH range of 4.5 to 6.0. Freeze-dried biomass proved to be the most efficient biomass type for Cd2+ metal adsorption. Therefore, Pleurotus sajor-caju may be used for heavy metal removal and bioremediation.

    Notes: The kinetics of cellobiose hydrolysis was studied using β-glucosidase from Penicillium funiculosum, both free and immobilized on nylon powder, at different temperatures, pH values, enzymatic activities and initial cellobiose and glucose concentrations.The experimental results were fitted to a kinetic model by considering the substrate and product inhibitions as well as the thermal deactivation of β-glucosidase with a mean deviation of less than 10%. The immobilization of β-glucosidase led to an increase in the stability of the enzyme against changes in the pH value.

    Notes: Ethanol has been reported to be a gaseous pollutant, originating from the agricultural industry. Interest in its biodegradation has increased over the last two decades. Most of the current studies have focused on its elimination by mixed cultures. This study is part of a broader project intended to utilize Candida utilis strains for gaseous ethanol elimination and to eventually bioconvert them into biomass and/or volatile metabolites. We present here the study of six strains (one from the ATCC and five from the ICIDCA collection) cultivated in a liquid medium, with initial ethanol concentrations of 16 g/l and 32 g/l. At 16 g/l, a maximum ethanol elimination rate of 0.13 g/l × h was obtained in four of the six strains (ATCC 9950, L/375-1, L/375-5 and L/375-10). This rate increased to 0.21 g/l × h with an initial ethanol concentration of 32 g/l. The L/375-5 strain was the best biomass producer (3.3 g/l) at 32 g/l, while the highest ethyl acetate production (0.80 g/l) was obtained with the L/375-1 strain. The L/375-25 and L/375-26 strains which showed very low ethyl acetate production were, by way of contrast, efficient acetaldehyde producers, with 0.54 g/l and 0.66 g/l measured in the broth. While biomass production reached its maximum after two days of culture, the production of acetic acid and ethyl acetate continued during the third day. The results for biomass and metabolite production obtained with the ICIDCA collection strains (L/375-1, L/375-5 and L/375-10) were better than those obtained with the ATCC 9950 strain, although the latter often has been reported to be particularly suitable for metabolite production.

    Notes: The ability of the Rhizobium sp., isolated from the root nodules of the leguminous pulse yielding shrub Cajanus cajan, to produce extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) was checked. A large amount of EPS (1, 128 μg/ml) was produced by the bacteria in yeast extract mannitol medium. Growth and EPS production started simultaneously, but the production reached its maximum level in the stationary phase of growth at 28 h. The EPS production by this Rhizobium sp. was much higher than by many other strains from nodules of Cajanus cajan which took a much longer time to reach maximum EPS production than this strain. The maximum EPS production (2,561 μg/ml) was obtained when the medium was supplemented with mannitol (1%), cetyl pyridinium chloride (2 μg/ml) and KNO3 (0.2%), in which the production was increased by 276% compared to the control. The EPS production rose in the period up to 65 h with increased mannitol concentration. The EPS contained arabinose, xylose and rhamnose monomers. The possible role of rhizobial EPS production in root nodule symbiosis is discussed.

    Notes: The Rhizobium sp., isolated from the root nodules of the leguminous fodder herb Melilotus alba, produced large amounts of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) (963.5 μg/ml) in a yeast extract mannitol medium. Growth and EPS production started simultaneously, but EPS production reached its maximum during the stationary phase of growth of the bacteria, at 20 hours. EPS production was increased with all of the thirteen sugars tested. Different nitrogen sources, such as nitrates, glutamic acid, casamino acid and L-asparagine, increased the EPS production although it was inhibited by glycine, nitrite and ammonium salts. Among the vitamins and metal ions, only pyridoxal phosphate and ZnSO4 promoted EPS production. Attempts were made to optimize the cultural requirements for growth and maximum EPS production. Maximum EPS production (1457.0 μg/ml) was obtained when the medium was supplemented with glucose (1%), pyridoxal phosphate (2 μ g/ml), ZnSO4 × 7 H2O (10 μg/ml) and glutamic acid (0.1%). Under these conditions, the production was increased by 254.3% compared to the control. The EPS contained arabinose, xylose and rhamnose monomers. The presence of arabinose and xylose in the EPS produced by a Rhizobium sp. was uncommon.

    Notes: In the present work, the use of flame-burned WS as carriers of Z. mobilis and extracellular levansucrase and the effect of the cell fixation method by dehydration on system productivity were investigated. Lyophilization and convective drying of Z. mobilis biomass at 30°C to a moisture content of 10-14% gave the best results for the repeated batch fermentations of a sucrose medium to obtain levan and ethanol. Significant correlation between the product formation and the concentration of free cells in the fermentation medium was established. Clearly, the cells were weakly bound to the newly generated WS and were washed out into the medium during fermentation. Here the hypothesis is presented that components excreted from damaged cells during dehydration can intensify the reactivation of damaged living cells and influence the interactions between the cells and the wire surface.The passive immobilization of extracellular levansucrase in oxidized WS was also observed. The superiority of oxidized WS in comparison with non-treated WS is related to an increase in the number of OH groups. The potential regeneration of WS by burning after the termination of fermentation cycles was also considered.

    Notes: A xylanase was removed from crude extract of the fungus Penicillium janthinellum under optimized conditions: 0.10M phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, 0.2 M BDBAC (N-benzyl-N-dodeceyl-N-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) ammonium chloride), 7.5% hexanole, 30°C and an agitation time of 1 minute. At 1.42 mg per ml protein concentration, 73% of the xylanase activity was recovered and a 7-fold enrichment factor was obtained. The enzyme had a molecular weight (MW) of 20.1 kDa and the isoelectric point (PI) revealed the presence of two protein bands with a PI of 6.0 and 6.5. The optimum pH and optimum temperature were 4.2 and 50°C, respectively. The low pH differential between the aqueous medium and the protein PI seemed to influence the xylanase transportation into the reversed micelles.

    Notes: The morphogenetic response of Hypericum perforatum seedlings to different auxin and cytokinin concentrations was studied. A stimulation of the concentration-dependent rooting ability was observed under the influence of indole-3-acetic acid and indole-3-butyric acid. Rooting was not enhanced by the effects of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 1-naphtaleneacetic acid. Differentiated roots were isolated and cultured in liquid media with the same combination of growth-promoting auxins. Chromosome counts in root tip cells after long-term cultivation indicated a high degree of chromosomal instability. Multiple shoot formation occurred under the influence of 6-benzylaminopurine and kinetin. Adenine and 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino)-purine did not stimulate shoot differentiation. No differences in the morphogenetic response to auxins and cytokinis were detected between diploid and tetrapoloid plants.

    Notes: Spores of Aspergillus niger were exposed to a pulsed electric field. After treatment by the electric field, the viability of the conidia of A. niger varied depending on the field strength, pulse width and frequency. In all cases, these parameters reduced the viability rate of the conidia from 2.0 × 107 to a range from 6.2 × 106 to 8.5 × 106 spores/ml (3.1 to 42.6%). After pulse treatment, the conidia were used as the inoculum for citric acid fermentation in shake flasks. The highest increase in citric acid yield (about 1.4-fold) was reached at a field strength of 2.85 kV/cm, a frequency of 1 Hz and a pulse width of 1 ms. When the parameters of the electric field increased there were important changes in the respiration rate of the Aspergillus niger mycelium (48-h-old) after electric shock treatment. The highest consumption of dissolved oxygen (22.9%) in the medium by Aspergillus niger mycelium was observed at an electric field strength of 2.85 kV/cm, a 1 Hz frequency, a pulse width of 1 ms and a 1-min exposure period. It seems that an electric-field stimulation of the conidia prior to inoculation may offer an important method of improving the efficiency of citric acid. The treatment of the conidia is both simple from the technical point of view and extremely rapid.

    Notes: The effects of adding some inducers of lignolytic activity to semi-solid-state cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKM-F-1767 (ATCC 24725) were investigated. The inducers assayed were veratryl alcohol and solid manganese (IV) oxide. The microorganism was cultured on corncob, which functioned both as physical support and source of nutrients.Supplementing the cultures with veratryl alcohol created the situation where manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP) and lignin peroxidase (LiP) activities of approximately 1,500 U/l and 200 U/l, respectively, could be attained. These activities were considerably higher than those obtained in the reference cultures (about 5 and 4-fold).In the same way, the addition of manganese (IV) oxide led to MnP and LiP activity levels of about 2,000 U/l and 300 U/l, respectively. These activities were also notably above (about 6 and 5-fold, respectively) those achieved in the reference cultures.Moreover, laccase activity (around 200 U/l) was only detected in veratryl alcohol or manganese (IV) oxide supplemented cultures.

    Notes: The culture behaviour of Thermus aquaticus was characterized. The response of the bacterium to various carbon (tryptone, glucose, glycerol) and nitrogen sources (yeast extract, NaNO3, (NH4)2SO4, leucine, thymine, thiamine, glutamic acid) was studied. Amino acids did not support growth, but CASTENHOLZ salt medium supplemented with yeast extract and glucose or tryptone resulted in good growth and production. A suitable medium composition giving the highest biomass concentration and enzyme yield was developed. The simple medium containing TYE-NaCl resulted in the highest biomass concentration, whereas CASTENHOLZ mineral medium supplemented with tryptone and yeast extract gave the highest specific activity and enzyme yield. The effect of inoculum age and size on growth was also investigated in order to improve the yield and process consistency. The use of shake flasks inoculated with precultures at their early or late stationary phase resulted in the same biomass concentration (0.56 ± 0.015 g/l) and similar maximum specific growth rates (0.258 ± 0.003 h-1). Inoculum sizes between 1 and 2.5 per cent were optimal for cell growth. As the other papers on thermophilic microorganisms, including the T. aquaticus YT-1 strain, gave qualitative information on growth, the results presented here cannot be compared with others on a quantitative basis. TaqI endonuclease was purified using a 5 step protocol including cell disruption, adsorption, precipitation, column chromatography and final dialysis. The enriched fraction had a specific activity of 33,600 U TaqI endonuclease per mg protein.

    Notes: Methylobacterium rhodesianum MB 126, a pink-pigmented facultatively methylotrophic bacterium that uses that serine pathway for the assimilation of reduced C1 compounds, is able to produce poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) under certain limitation conditions. Mutants of this bacterium, which were isolated after the treatment with sodium nitrite, are impaired in their ability to synthesize PHB, but produce another polymer in addition to PHB, namely an exopolysaccharide (EPS). This paper attempts to explain this surprising behaviour.

    Notes: Agar-agar, agarose, carrageenan and calcium alginate were used for the immobilization of Dunaliella salina cells. Out of the four, agar-agar was found to be the most effective and therefore the study was carried out on it using different pH values ranging from 6 to 10 and cell densities from 0.1 to 0.8 μg chlorophyll (chl, a) per bead to find which are is best suited for glycerol production. The maximum glycerol production of 9.2 μM/mg chl a was recorded in agar-agar immobilized algae and this was followed by 8.4 μM/mg chl a in calcium alginate. The maximum cell number 6.2 × 109/ml and the specific growth rate (μ) of 0.80 l/day were reached at pH 8 in agar-agar immobilized algae. It was shown that the maximum amount of glycerol was produced when the cell density was 0.8 μg chl a/ block. Changing the medium after 24 hours affected the rate of glycerol production at different pH values. Using a cell density of 0.8 μg chl a/block at 16 W/m2 light intensity increased the glycerol production in comparison with the use of free living cells.

    Notes: A new low-cost β-galactosidase (lactase) preparation for whey permeate saccharification was developed and characterized. A biocatalyst with a lactase activity of 10 U/mg, a low transgalactosylase activity and a protein content of 0.22 mg protein/mg was obtained from a fermenter culture of the fungus Penicillium notatum. Factors influencing the enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose, such as reaction time, pH, temperature and enzyme and substrate concentration were standardized to maximize sugar yield from whey permeate. Thus, a 98.1% conversion of 5% lactose in whey permeate to sweet (glucose-galactose) syrup was reached in 48 h using 650 β-galactosidase units/g hydrolyzed substrate. After the immobilization of the acid β-galactosidase from Penicillium notatum on silanized porous glass modified by glutaraldehyde binding, more than 90% of the activity was retained. The marked shifts in the pH value (from 4.0 to 5.0) and optimum temperatures (from 50°C to 60°C) of the solid-phase enzyme were observed and discussed. The immobilized preparation showed high catalytic activity and stability at wider pH and temperature ranges than those of the free enzyme, and under the best operating conditions (lactose, 5%; β-galactosidase, 610-650 U/g lactose; pH 5.0; temperature 55°C), a high efficiency of lactose saccharification (84-88%) in whey permeate was achieved when lactolysis was performed both in a batch process and in a recycling packed-bed bioreactor. It seems that the promising results obtained during the assays performed on a laboratory scale make this immobilizate a new and very viable preparation of β-galactosidase for application in the processing of whey and whey permeates.

    Notes: An acid α-amylase hyperproducing strain, designated as MIR-61, was isolated in a screening procedure from South American soil samples. MIR-61, a 60°C thermoresistant strain, was identified using 98 biochemical and morphological tests and characterized as Bacillus licheniformis by numerical taxonomy. Batch cultures of B. licheniformis MIR-61 showed extracellular α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities during the exponential growth phase.The production of α-amylase was studied at free and constant pH values at 37 and 45°C. Maximum α-amylase activity (4,767 kU/dm3 in a liquid medium) was detected at 45°C at a constant pH (7.0) in the late exponential phase. The α-amylase production by B. licheniformis MIR-61 is 10 to 300 times higher than the enzyme production reported in strains of the same species.Optimum α-amylase activity was found at 50 to 67°C in an acid pH range from 5.5 to 6.0. These properties would allow its use in starch industry processes.

    Notes: The continuous aerobic degradation of phenoxyalkanoate herbicides by Sphingomonas herbicidovorans MH was investigated in a bubble reactor filled with modified polyurethane-foam (PU 90/51) as a carrier for the adsorptive immobilization of the bacterial cells. The PU-foam was applied in the form of plates (5 × 10 × 10 mm) and the amount added was equivalent to a PU-load of 1.25% [w/v]. Strain MH is capable of detoxifying the dichloro-substituted phenoxyalkanoates 2,4-DP, 2,4-D and 2,4-DB and the methylchloro-substituted phenoxyalkanoates MCPA, MCPP and MCPB. Degradation of the respective substrate was followed by HPLC analyses and by determination of the chloride release. No intermediates of the degradation pathways or “dead end” products were detected by HPLC analyses. The PU-bubble reactor with immobilized 2,4-DP-pre-grown cells was run continuously at 30°C at the high dilution rate of D = 0.5h-1 with 2,4-DP (0.2 g/l), and with subsequent changes to each of the other phenoxyalkanoates as a single substrate in the feed and with an intermittent return to 2,4-DP. Finally, after an intermediate substrate accumulation, 2,4-D, 2,4-DP, MCPA and MCPP could be degraded under the aforementioned conditions corresponding to a maximum degradation rate of Qphen = 100 mg/l × h. In the case of 2,4-DB, a slightly reduced conversion rate of about 94% could be calculated. In contrast to these results, 0.2 g/l of the more recalcitrant MCPB could not be metabolized at this high dilution rate of D = 0.5 h-1 by the biofilm of Sphingomonas herbicidovorans MH, but it was degradable at a reduced dilution rate of D = 0.25 h-1. Complete detoxification of a stoichiometric mixture of the dichloro- and the methylchloro-substituted phenoxyalkanoates including MCPB, respectively, at a total concentration of 0.2 g/l was achieved at D = 0.25 h-1, corresponding to a degradation rate of Qtot = 50 mg/l × h. Finally, the efficiency of the PU-immobilized cells of Sphingomonas herbicidovorans MH in detoxifying mixtures of all six herbicides could be increased to Qtot = 75 mg/l × h by the further addition of PU-foam particles corresponding to a final PU-load of 2.5% [w/v]. This PU-bubble reactor was successfully operated for more than 12 months to clean up synthetically concocted waste waters with fluctuations in phenoxyalkanoate concentration and composition.

    Notes: The biodesulphurization of Mengen lignite by a mesophilic bacterium, Rhodococcus rhodochrus ATCC 53968, was investigated in a batch stirred and aerated reactor. The experiments were carried out at 28°C with an inoculum percentage, initial pH, initial sodium acetate and lignite concentration of the biodesulphurization medium of 8% [v/v], 6.5 mM, 20 mM and 20 g/l, respectively. Variations in the sulphur contents of the lignite relative to the biodesulphurization period were monitored. The effects of the stirring and aeration rates on the removal of different sulphur forms from coal were investigated in the ranges 450-1,200 rpm and 0.1-0.53 vvm and the optimum values were found to be 500 rpm and 0.18 vvm, respectively. An increase in the total sulphur reduction with increasing biodesulphurization time was observed. The maximum total sulphur removal percentage was found to be 15.2% at 1,200 rpm after four days of incubation. The highest total sulphur removal rate was calculated on the second day of microbial desulphurization for each run. The total and organic sulphur contents of the coal after biodesulphurization were correlated with the stirring and aeration rates by using the non-linear least squares regression method. In the experimental runs lasting 8 days, the highest organic sulphur reducing percentage of 10.1% was obtained at a stirring rate of 500 rpm and an aeration rate of 0.40 vvm.

    Notes: Selected strains of basidiomycetes (Abortiporus biennis, Trametes versicolor and Cerrena unicolor) were shown to produce enhanced extracellular peroxidase (EP), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and laccase activities following the exposure of 10-day-old fungal cultures to separate high and low temperature stress. The stressful conditions also caused an increase in the concentrations of phenol compounds and superoxide anion radicals in these cultures. At first, peroxidase activity was observed at 12 hours from the moment of temperature stress application. Laccase activity appeared at 96 hours after the maximum levels of superoxide anion radicals (48 h) and SOD activity (36-72 h). The concentration of phenolic substances grew steadily during the period of cultivation. These relations between laccase, SOD and EP as well as superoxide radicals and phenol levels in the environment of ligninolytic fungi seems to be important in the course of the biosynthesis or biodegradation of lignin, as the consequence of adaptation of these basidiomycetes to environmental temperature conditions.

    Notes: Comamonas acidovorans MC1, which is capable of degrading the chiral phenoxypropionate herbicides 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionate [dichlorprop, (RS)-2,4-DP] and 2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionate [mecoprop, (RS)-MCPP] and of degrading the phenoxyacetate herbicides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) and 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetate (MCPA), was investigated with respect to the enzymatic basis of this broad substrate specificity. The initial steps of the degradation pathway of (RS)-2,4-DP and 2,4-D were studied. By applying either ion exchange chromatography or hydrophobic interaction chromatography it was possible to separate two enzyme fractions with etherolytic activity, which exhibited pronounced substrate specificity. One enzyme fraction was highly specific for the degradation of the R-enantiomer of 2,4-DP and did not essentially attack the S-configuration. The other enzyme fraction showed pronounced activity toward the cleavage of the S-enantiomer and additionally utilized 2,4-D with almost equal velocity; (R)-2,4-DP was even cleaved at a low rate by this enzyme. These results confirm the existence of phenoxyalkanoatedegrading enzymes with enantiospecific properties in strain MC1.

    Notes: The population of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate-degrading microorganisms and the biodegradation of PHB in local landfill soils were examined in vitro and in vivo. Forty-two PHB-degraders consisting of 12 bacteria, 25 actinomycetes and 5 moulds were isolated. The total PHB-degraders averaged 4.7 × 107 and 20 × 104 colony forming units (cfu)/g for San Mateo wet and dry soils, respectively, and 2.3 × 107 and 8.5 × 104 cfu/g for Carmona wet and dry samples, respectively. The PHB-degraders formed 0-59% of the total microbial population in San Mateo and 8-42% in Carmona. Complete (100%) degradation of PHB powder was observed for Chryseomonas-27 and Aspergillus-39 on day 5 in shake flask culture and for Streptomyces-4 on day 7. Burial test in landfill soils showed a 90-91% weight loss of PHB film strips within four weeks; the weight loss of polypropylene film strips was up to 0.12% only. Scanning electron micrographs of degraded films revealed the attachment of microbial cells and fungal mycelium and spores on the surfaces. Holes and cavities were also noted due to the microbial degradation processes.

    Notes: The Acinetobacter sp. E11, isolated from Port Dickson Beach, Malaysia, was able to grow in media containing crude oil as the sole carbon and energy source. Substrate specificity studies showed that the bacterium exhibited substrate preference as growth was observed only in media containing aliphatic hydrocarbons, while aromatic and cyclic hydrocarbons inhibited growth. With the aliphatic hydrocarbons, growth was seen only in the long-chain alkanes tested (pentadecane, dodecane and hexadecane). No growth was recorded in the short-chain alkanes (pentane, hexane and heptane) tested. With complex hydrocarbons, only crude oil and 4T SHELL engine oil supported growth. No growth was observed in kerosene and PETRONAS gasoline. The isolate could grow in up to 10% and 20% [v/v] of the crude oil and alkanes tested, respectively. Among the long-chain alkanes tested, hexadecane was the most preferred, followed by pentadecane and dodecane. Nitrogen and phosphorous supplements were essential for growth and the best growth was achieved with 3% nitrogen/phosphorous additions. Microscopic observation revealed that the bacterium adhered to the hexadecane and crude oil droplets. GC analysis showed that the bacterium was able to degrade more than 60% of the hydrocarbons in the crude oil in 15 days at 37°C compared to the uninoculated media.

    Notes: The mineralization of a non-ionic alcohol ethoxylate (AEO) surfactant was investigated over the concentration range occurring in rinsing water from surfactant production processes. For this, an experimental set-up for respirometric batch experiments was developed. The set-up and the method were validated by experiments with glucose as the single carbon source. It was possible to calculate substrate decay from the time course of exogenously consumed oxygen during respirometric batch experiments. The kinetic coefficients calculated by respirometry showed a lower standard deviation than those calculated from emasured glucose concentrations.The degradation mechanism of AEO was investigated by identification of metabolities, occurring during the mineralization process of AEO, using Flow Injection Mass spectrometry (FI-MS). It was concluded that the degradation of AEO occurs in two main steps. First, the enzymatic hydrolysis of AEO into alcohol and polythylene glycol (PEG) is performed. Second, the mineralization of both substances takes place, while the mineralization of the alcohol is faster than that of the PEG. The mineralization kinetics were investigated in respirometric batch experiments. The model used is based on double MONOD kinetics for the substrates being produced by hydrolysis (μmax1 = 0.047 h-1, Ks1 = 15 mg/l DOC for alcohol; μmax2 = 0.027 h-1, KS2 = 4 mg/l DOC for PEG). The validation of the model by calculating the results obtained from measurements in a continuously operated lab scale CSTR with bacteria recycle was successful.

    Notes: An increase in the molar growth yield (YX/S = 14.3-20.3 g/mol) on glucose (25 mM) was achieved after the transition of Zymomonas mobilis ATCC 29191 from anaerobic to aerobic steady state growth at dilution rates of D = 0.31-0.40 1/h and under oxygen-unlimited conditions. The transfer of anaerobically or aerobically grown steady state cells into a fresh medium resulted in the higher values of YX/S. A positive correlation was established between biomass and acetaldehyde yield within the range of 5-9 mM acetaldehyde in the medium. An inhibitory effect of the exogenously added acetaldehyde (Ki = 16.7 ± 2.8 mM) on the ATPase activity was observed in vitro, using cell-free extracts of anaerobically grown Z. mobilis. The results obtained provide evidence that the increased values of biomass yield could be explained by the redirection of ATP usage during aerobic growth of Z. mobilis.

    Notes: Pleurotus sajor-caju (FR.) SINGER was cultivated on different organic wastes, namely sericulture waste, Populus deltoides MARSH, and Eupatorium adenophorum SPRENG. Paddy straw was taken as the control and all the data were compared with it. The mineral contents of the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus sajor-caju and the substrates on which the mushroom was grown were analyzed. Among the eight minerals determined (calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sodium, iron, manganese and zinc), the potassium content was highest followed by phosphorus, magnesium and sodium. Analysis of the mineral contents of the substrates before cultivation had also been carried out. The mineral contents of the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus sajor-caju were found to be different on different substrates. It was also observed that the mineral contents of the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus sajor-caju increase when cultivated on substrates with higher mineral contents. The maximum mineral contents per 100 g of the substrates before cultivation were Ca - 347 mg; P - 151 mg; K - 1,805 mg; Na - 127 mg; Mg - 227 mg; Fe - 53 mg; Mn - 10 mg and zn - 3.1 mg. The mineral contents of the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus sajor-caju per 100 g ranged as follows: Ca - 25.1 mg to 35.3 mg; P - 448 mg to 602 mg; K - 2,146 mg to 2350 mg; Na - 139 mg to 229 mg; Mg - 153 mg to 224 mg; Fe - 9.74 mg to 20.75 mg; Mn - 2.5 mg to 4.0 mg and Zn - 2.2 mg to 3.1 mg.

    Notes: An alternative microbiological method for the production of malate from fumarate is presented. The yeast Dipodascus magnusii was used for this bioconversion.The optimum cell growth temperature was 28°C and the working volume 120 ml. The highest level of fumarase activity during bioconversion was achieved at a pH of 7.5 and a temperature of 37°C. These conditions were determined as optimal. Using sodium fumarate (1M), the maximum specific productivity of malic acid obtained was 1.72 g/(gDCW × h) for intact cells. In the case of ammonium fumarate, it was 2.25 g/(gDCW × h).

    Description / Table of Contents: Positive und negative Photostrukturen wurden in einem Polyimid (PI) aus 4,4′-Biphthalsäureanhydrid (BPA) und 4,4′-Diamino-3,3′-dimethyldiphenylmethan (DADMDPM), PI(BPA/DADMDPM) erzeugt, nachdem dieses mit Michlers Keton (MK) bzw. Benzophenon (BP) dotiert und einer ultravioletten Strahlung von 400 ± 50 nm ausgesetzt und naß entwickelt wurde. Das Prinzip der positiven Abbildung basiert auf dem Photokupplungseffekt von MK mit PI, der die Löslichkeit des Polyimids erhöht und so die Entwicklung eines Positivmusters ermöglicht. Die Erzeugung negativer Muster wird durch intermakromolekulare Wasserstoffbrücken zwischen der Carbonylgruppe des Imid-Rings und der Hydroxygruppe, die bei der photoinduzierten Kupplung von Benzophenon mit dem Polyimid gebildet wird, bewirkt. Die lithographische Auswertung zeigt, daß der mit MK dotierte, positive Polyimidfilm nicht in der Lage ist, brauchbare Muster zu erzeugen, da die UV-Wellenlängen von MK absorbiert werden, wodurch die Photokupplung in den tieferen Schichten des Films verhindert wird. Andererseits können in dem 0,6 μm dicken, mit Benzophenon dotierten Polyimidfilm sogar 2 μm schmale Linien aufgelöst werden.
    Notes: Positive and negative photostructures are formed after the polyimide (PI) of 4,4′-biphthalic anhydride (BPA) and 4,4′-diamino-3,3′-dimethyldiphenylmethane (DADMDPM), PI(BPA/DADMDPM) is doped with Michler′s ketone (MK) and benzophenone (BP), respectively, and is subjected to UV light (400 ± 50 nm) irradiation and solvent development. The principle of positive feature formation is based on the photocoupling of MK with PI, which increases PI solubility and thus enables a positive pattern to be developed. The phenomenon of negative photopatterning results from intermacromolecular H-bonding between the carbonyl group of the imide ring and the hydroxy group which is formed in the photoinduced coupling reaction between BP and PI. Lithographic evaluation shows that the MK-doped positive-acting PI film cannot form useful patterns because UV wavelengths are strongly absorbed by MK, which limits the depth of photocoupling in the film. On the other hand, 2-μm-wide lines can be resolved in the BP-doped negative-acting 0.6-μm-thick PI film.

    Description / Table of Contents: Polyhydrazid/Polyamid-Blends (PEHZ12/PA6) wurden durch Niedrigtemperatur-Polykondensation von 4,4′-Dichlorformyl-α,ω-diphenoxydodecan und Terephthaloyldihydrazid (TDH) zu Poly(etheraroylhydrazid) in Gegenwart von Polyamid 6 synthetisiert. Die DSC-Analysen lassen vermuten, daß die zwei Polymerkomponenten nicht wechselwirken. Bei der Extraktion des PA6-Anteils der Blends mit Ameisensäure zeigt die Charakterisierung des PEHZ12-Extraktionsrückstands aber, daß zumindest bei bestimmten Zusammensetzungen Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Komponenten auftreten. Modellreaktionen erlauben die Annahme, daß die PEHZ12-Polymerisation zwischen den Amino-Endgruppen des PA6 und den wachsenden PEHZ12-Polymerketten abläuft.
    Notes: Poly(etheraroylhydrazide) is synthesized in the presence of PA6 by means of low-temperature condensation polymerization of 4,4′-dichloroformyl-α,ω-diphenoxydodecane with terephthaloyl dihydrazide (TDH) in order to prepare polyhydrazide/poly-amide 6 (PEHZ12/PA6) blends. The thermal analysis of the blends by DSC seems to indicate that the two polymers are not interacting. Nevertheless, when the blends are subjected to an extraction process with formic acid in order to remove the PA6, the characterization of the residual PEHZ12 reveales that some interactions do occur between the constituent polymers, at least for selected compositions. Model experiments permit to hypothesize that the polymerization of PEHZ12 proceeds with a chemical interaction between amino end groups of PA6 and growing PEHZ12 chains.

    Description / Table of Contents: The crystallization behavior of PBT as well as PC is changed in the controlled-processed blend due to intermolecular interactions between the different macromolecules in molten state.If the kinetics of the crystallization process prevents a crystallization-induced separation, the partial miscibility of the amorphous phases, measured by the glass transition temperatures, will lead to a decrease of the crystallinity of PBT. The crystallinity, normalized to the concentration of PBT in the blend, is independent from the concentration of PC at low coolling rates.At high cooling rates, PBT is crystallizing stepwise in the blend PBT/PC 40/60 wt.-%. The crystallization temperature in the anisothermic crystallization process is increased at low contents of PC due to a changed nucleation mechanism. The half-time of crystallization is increasing in blends with an increasing PC-content in isothermic crystallization experiments.The normally amorphous PC crystallizes considerably fast in presence of PBT in PC-rich blends. The crystallization or change in the state of order of PC was measured in situ by X-ray diffraction. Calorimetric experiments confirm this result and allow a quantitative estimation of the PC-crystallinity, which amounts to some 20% in the blend PBT/PC 5/95 wt.-%.
    Notes: Das Kristallisationsverhalten sowohl von PBT als auch von PC ist im definiert verarbeiteten Blend infolge intermolekularer Wechselwirkungen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Molekülen in der Schmelze verändert.Die über die Glasübergangstemperaturen gemessene teilweise Mischbarkeit der amorphen Phasen führt bei PBT zu einer Erniedrigung des Kristallinitätsgrades, wenn die kinetischen Bedingungen des Kristallisationsprozesses keine kristallisationsbedingte Entmischung zulassen. Der auf den PBT-Anteil normierte Kristallinitätsgrad ist bei kleinen Abkühlgeschwindigkeiten vom PC-Anteil unabhängüg.In der Mischung PBT/PC 40/60 Gew.-% kommt es bei hohen Kühlraten zu einer fraktionierten Kristallisation. Die Kristallisationstemperatur bei anisothermer Kristallisation ist bei geringen PC-Gehalten durch Änderung des Keimbildungsmechanismus erhöht. Bei isothermer Kristallisation steigt mit zunehmendem PC-Anteil die Kristallisationshalbwertszeit des PBT an.Das normalerweise amorphe PC kann in Gegenwart von PBT in den PC-reichen Mischungen besonders schnell kristallisieren, wobei der Kristallisations- bzw. Ordnungsprozeß des PC in situ mittels der Röntgenbeugung gemessen wurde. Kalorimetrische Untersuchungen bestätigen dieses Ergebnis und erlauben eine quantitative Abschätzung des PC-Kristallinitätsgrades zu ca. 20% im Blend PBT/PC 5/95 Gew.-%.

    Description / Table of Contents: Elementaranalytische sowie NMR-, IR- und UV-spektroskopische Untersuchungen zeigen, daß die Photolyse von Halogenphenolnovolaken zur Substitution der Halogenatome durch Wasserstoff, der Bildung chinoider Gruppen und intermolekularen Vernetzung führt. Die Geschwindigkeit der Halogeneliminierung hängt von der Art des Halogens ab. Sie steigt in der Reihenfolge F 〈 Cl 〈 Br 〈 I. Die Chloreliminierung aus der 4-Position ist gegenüber der aus der 2- und 3-Position begünstigt. Außerdem verläuft die Abspaltung para-ständiger Chloratome aus Dimeren schneller als aus Trioder Tetrameren. ESR-Messungen bei 77 K sowie die Laserblitzphotolyse bei 296 K deuten auf die intermediäre Bildung von Phenoxyl- und Arylradikalen. Lithographische Tests belegen die hohe UV-Empfindlichkeit von Resisten auf der Basis von Halogenphenolnovolaken. Im Vergleich zu nichthalogenhaltigen Novolakresisten wird eine 6 - 10fache (System: 4-Chlorphenolnovolak/4,4′-Bisazidobiphenyl (5%)) bzw. eine ca. 25fache (System: 4-Chlorphenol-/m-Cresolnovolak/Hexamethoxymethylmelamin (5%)) Steigerung der Empfindlichkeit erreicht. Zur Interpretation wird ein Mechanismus postuliert, demzufolge die durch Halogenabspaltung hervorgerufene Sekundärradikalbildung zu einer zusätzlichen Vernetzung beiträgt. In den melaminhaltigen Resisten katalysiert der gebildete Halogenwasserstoff (Hal· + RH → H-Hal + R·) außerdem die Reaktion der Melaminverbindung mit der Novolakmatrix.
    Notes: The photolysis of halogenophenol novolacs is determined by the substitution of halogens by hydrogen and the formation of quinoid groups and intermolecular crosslinks. This is concluded from elemental analysis, NMR, IR and optical absorption measurements. The rate of halogen release depends on the chemical nature of the halogen. It increases in the order F 〈 Cl 〈 Br 〈 I. Chlorine elimination from 4-position is favored over that from 2- and 3-position. Moreover, dimers release chlorine from 4-position much more readily than trimers and tetramers. ESR measurements at 77 K and flash photolysis studies at 296 K yielded evidence for the intermediate existence of phenoxyl and aryl radicals. Lithographic tests demonstrated the high UV-sensitivity of resist formulations based on halogen-containing novolacs. The increase in sensitivity relative to that of formulations based on nonhalogenated novolacs is 6 to 10fold system: 4-chlorophenol novolac/4,4′-bisazidobiphenyl (5%) and ca. 25fold system: 4-chlorophenol/m-cresol novolac/hexamethoxymethylmelamine (5%). A postulated reactions mechanism concerning the sensitivity increase takes into account that halogen elimination results in the formation of additional radicals that accelerate the rate of crosslinking. Moreover, hydrogen halide generated by hydrogen abstraction of halogen radicals (Hal· + RH → H-Hal + R·) provides for the acid required to catalyze the reaction of the melamine compound with the novolac matrix.

    Description / Table of Contents: Calciumcarbonate unterschiedlicher Teilchenform (sphäarisch, kubisch und nadelfäormig) wurden mit Polypropylen (PP) in einer Zwei-Walzen-Mäuhle gemischt und anschließend zu Platten gepreßt. Der Einflußder Teilchenform auf das Kristallisationsverhalten der PP/CaCO3-Composite, d.h. Kristallisationspeaktemperatur (Tmax), Kristallisationsverlauf usw., wurde mittels Differentialkalorimetrie untersucht. Der Wert von Tmax häangt von der Größe der Gesamtoberfläache der CaCO3-Teilchen ab; Tmax ist bei nadelfäormigen Teilchen gräoßer als bei kubischen oder sphäarischen und hauangt in allen Fäallen der nicht-isothermen Kristallisation von der Abkäuhlgeschwindigkeit und der vorher erreichten maximalen Temperatur ab.
    Notes: Calcium carbonate of various particle shape (spheric, cubic, needle-shaped type) and polypropylene (PP) were mixed on a two roll mill and the mixture was pressed into plates. The effect of particle shape on the crystallization behavior of PP/CaCO3 composites, such as crystallization peak temperature (TMAX), crystallized pattern, etc., was investigated with differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The value of TMAX is explained by the total surface area of added CaCO3 particles; TMAX of needle-shaped series is larger than that of cubic or spheric ones. TMAX of various shaped CaCO3-filled PP totally depends on the cooling rate and maximum temperature in the non-isothermal crystallization, respectively.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Polyaddition von Polyethylenglykol (PEG) Oligoglycidylethern (Mn (PEG): 396,587, 1437 und 3554) mit asymmetrischen Diaminen, wie N,N-Dimethylund N,N-Diethyl-1,3-diaminopropan, wurden wasserläosliche kationische Polymere erhalten. Die Eigenschaften der kationischen Polymeren sind vom urspräunglichen PEG-Molekulargewicht und der Diaminreaktivitäat abhäangig. PEG mit Mn = 396 zeigt das beste Verhalten. In verdäunnten wäassrigen Läosungen und in wäassrigen 2M NaCl-Läosungen der Polymeren wurde das Polyelektrolytverhalten veranschaulicht. Die Gegenwart der PEG Kette bestimmt das Polyelektrolytverhalten in den 2M NaCl Läosungen.
    Notes: Water-soluble cationic polymers were obtained by polyaddition of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) diglycidylethers (M̄n of PEG were 396, 587, 1437 and 3554, resp.) with asymmetrical diamines such as N,N-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane and N,N-diethyl-1,3-diaminopropane. The cationic polymer properties depend on the PEG initial molecular weight and on the diamine reactivity too. PEG with M̄n = 396 had the best behaviour in these reactions. The polyelectrolyte feature of cationic polymers was emphasized both in dilute aqueous solutions and in 2M aqueous NaCl solutions. The polyelectrolyte behaviour in 2M aqueous NaCl solution is determined by the PEG chain presence.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Scherviskositäat fläussigkristalliner Ethylcellulose, die mit Cellulosepulver unterschiedlicher Partikelgräoße gefäullt war, wurde bei konstantem Schergefäalle mit einem Kegel-Platte-Viskosimeter bestimmt. Der Einfluß des Cellulosepulvergehalts, des Läange/Breite-Verhäaltnisses der Pulverteilchen und der Temperatur auf das viskose Verhalten und die Phasenäubergäange wird diskutiert. Der Zusatz von Cellulosepulver erhäoht die Viskositäat und verringert die Aktivierungsenergie des Fließens(Ea), ohne jedoch die Phasenäubergäange zu beeinflussen. Die Viskositäat und die Aktivierungsenergie sind abhäangig vom Läange/Breite-Verhäaltnis der Pulverteilchen; mit zunehmender Gräoße dieses Verhäaltnisses wird die Viskositäatszunahme beschleunigt und die Aktivierungsenergie des Fließens erhäoht, wäahrend die Aktivierungsenergie mit steigendem Pulvergehalt abnimmt. Die Phasenumwandlungen sind unabhäangig von der Partikelform. Der Einfluß des Pulvergehalts auf Viskositäat und Aktivierungsenergie ist abhäangig von der Art der fläussigen Phase; in der anisotropen Phase ist der Einfluß geringer als in der isotropen Phase. Dies scheint von der Ausrichtung der Pulverteilchen und der stäabchenfäormigen Molekäule herzuräuhren.
    Notes: Steady-state shear viscosity for the liquid crystalline ethyl cellulose solution filled with cellulose powders was determined using a cone-plate-type viscometer and the effects of cellulose powder content, powder aspect ratio and temperature on the viscometric behavior and phase transformation were discussed. The addition of powder increased the viscosity and decreased the activation energy (Ea) for flow, but did not affect the phase transformation. The viscosity and Ea depended on the aspect ratio; with greater aspect ratio, the viscosity enhancement was accelerated and Ea as well as the decrease in Ea with powder content increased. The phase transformation did not depend on the aspect ratio, the dependences of viscosity and of Ea on powder content depended on the solution phase; the dependences for the anisotropic phase were smaller than those for the isotropic one. The findings appeared to originate from the alignments of powders and rod-like molecules.

    Notes: The UV-degradation of an unstabilized and two HALS stabilized polyethylene (PE) films is described. The degradations are characterized by measuring the oxygen uptake, the formation of CO and CO2, the FT-IR spectra, the mechanical properties, the stabilizer concentration and the oxygen content of the film.The oxygen uptake of the unstabilized PE film led to the expected changes in the IR spectra and embrittlement of the film, while the oxygen uptake by the HALS stabilized films caused only minor changes. The differences between the results for the unstabilized and the HALS stabilized polymers are explained assuming that the initiation of the photodegradation of PE is due to charge transfer complexes.

    Notes: Irradiations (λ≥300 nm) of poly(butyleneterphtalate) films were carried out in both vacum and air. Photoproducts were investigated by FTIR spectroscopy, chemical derivatization reactions and physical treatments. The repartition of photoproducts in the polymer was shown to be heterogeneous. A scheme accounting for the main routes of PBT photolysis was found on the basis of photoproducts identification. Most of oxidation products were analogous to vacum photolysis species; the mechanism of photooxidation proposed implied both pure photolytical processes and a photo-induced oxidation route.

    Notes: The effect of polymer density, processing conditions (quenching of annealing), degree of crystallinity, size of crystallite and mobility of polymer chains on the photo-and radiation-induced degradation and the polymer stability have been studied by UV, FTIR spectroscopic, viscosity and mechanical property measurements. Four kinds of annealed or quenched polyethylene (PE) films varying densities were used to the studies. Polystyrene (PSt) films were used to investigate the effect of chain mobility on polymer degradation. The following results were obtained. 1.In linear low density (LLD) PE, greater amounts of crosslinking (irradiated in vacuum) and chain scission (irradiated in air) were noticed than in mediun density (MD) PE and high density (HD) PE samples.2.Polyene formation is favored in the case of the irradiation in vacuum for LLDPE.3.Polymer stability evaluated by mechanical property such as elongation at break (%) is superior in LLDPE to MDPE and HDPE for annealed and quenched samples.4.Segmental motion of polymer chain also affects the polymer stability

    Description / Table of Contents: The study is on two component blends of high density polyethylenes, having normal and ultra-high molecular weight. The polyethylenes were homogenized by two routes: in powder state or by rolling in melt, then pressed at temperatures in the range from 140°C to 220°C. Comparative studies showed that the way of homogenizing of the components does practically not affect the main mechanical properties of the blends when pressed at temperatures ≥ 160°C. Of special interest are the characteristics of those systems where ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is the matrix component.
    Notes: Untersucht wurden binäre Mischungen von Polyethylenen hoher Dichte rnit normaler und ultrahochmolekularer Molmasse, die auf zweierlei Weise - in Pulverform oder durch Walzen im Schmelzezustand - homogenisiert und bei Temperaturen zwischen 140 und 220°C gepreßt waren.Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Art der Homogenisierung der Komponenten praktisch keinen Einfluß auf die Eigenschaften bei Preßtemperaturen ≥ 160°C hat. Von besonderem Interesse sind die Eigenschaften der Systeme, in welchen das ultrahochmolekulare Polyethylen die Rolle der Matrixkomponente spielt.

    Description / Table of Contents: Das Verhalten eines neuartigen photoinitiierenden Systems, das die Polymerisation von pigmenthaltigen Schichten großer Dicke in einem Reaktionsschritt gestattet, wird dargestellt. Die verschiedenen Wechselwirkungen, die in einem pigmenthaltigen System auftreten, werden qualitativ beschrieben, und der Anteil der von einem Photoinitiator absorbierten Lichtintensität wird berechnet. Neben dem Absorptions- und Reflexionsverhalten von verschiedenen Pigmentklassen werden die optischen Eigenschaften verschiedener Strahlungsquellen untersucht, um die Strahlungsbereiche zu finden, die am besten mit den optischen Parametern der Pigmente korrespondieren. Weiterhin wird die Beschleunigung von Polymerisationen durch die photokatalytische Wirkung einiger Pigmente behandelt.
    Notes: Ce travail sur le rôe des pigments définit le comportement d'un nouveau systeme photosensible qui permet de polymériser des milieux épais et pigmentés selon un procédé en une seule étape. Les différentes interactions présentes en milieu pigmenté sont décrites de façon qualitative, et la part de l'intensité lumineuse absorbée par un photo-amorceur dans un systéme pigmenté est evaluée. Les propriétés optiques telles que l'absorption et la réflectance des différentes familles chimiques de pigments sont déterminées, et, en paralléle, les propriétés optiques des différentes sources d'irradiation sont étudiées de manière à répondre au mieux aux fenêtres de transmission des pigments. L'effet photocatalytique de certains pigments est mentionné, ceci afin d'amkliorer la réaction de polymérisation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Herstellung von cis-1,4-Polybutadien erfolgte mittels Polymerisation von 1,3-Butadien mit einem Katalysatorsystem, das in einer zweistufigen Reaktion gebildet wird: (1) BF3 · O(C2H5)2 und Al(C2H5)3, (2) Ni(OOC8H15)2 und Al(C2H5)3, genannt in-situ-Katalysatorsystem.Die Molmassenverteilungen (MMD) der erhaltenen Polymeren sind mit der Größenausschlußchromatographie (SEC) untersucht worden. Sie lassen sich mit Summen aus Schulz-Flory-Funktionen (SFF) beschreiben. Veränderte Katalysatorformierungs- und Polymerisationsbedingungen beeinflussen die Parameter der SFF. Veränderte Peakflächen und Molmassenmittelwerte der Einzelpeaks zeigen, daß die Polymerisation über mehrere Arten aktiver Zentren verläuft.
    Notes: Cis-1,4-polybutadiene was produced by polymerization of 1,3-butadiene using a catalyst system formed by a two-step formation, Namely (1) BF3 . O(C2H5)2 and Al(C2H5)3, (2) Ni(OOC8H15)2 and Al(C2H5)3 named in-situ-catalyst.The molar mass distributions (MMD) of the polybutadienes are investigated by means of size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The MMD's were fitted by a sum of Schulz-Flory-Functions (SFF). Changed catalyst formation and polymerization conditions influenced the parameters of the SFF. Changed areas and changed molar mass averages indicate a polymerization with more than one peak maximum and kind of active species and lead to a better understanding of the polymerization.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Umsetzung von Chromacrylat mit Bisphenol A und einem Überschuß Epichlorhydrin wurden neuartige Epoxid-Harze hergestellt. Epoxy-Äquivalentgewicht, Gehalt an Hydroxygruppen und hydrolysierbarem Chlor sowie die Viskosität wurden bestimmt, und die Harze wurden mittels IR- und 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Die thermischen Eigenschaften der bei 30°C für 24 h mit Ciba Geigy HY 850 (aliphatisches Amin) gehärteten Harze wurden gemessen. Die Harze besitzen eine gute thermische und chemische Stabilität und eine gute elektrische Leitfähigkeit. Die Reaktion verläuft nach erster Ordnung; die Aktivierungsenergie beträgt 47 kJ mol-1 bzw. 34 kJ mol-1 mit bzw. ohne Chromacrylat. Aus spektroskopischen Untersuchungen wird geschlossen, daß das Chrom mit Bisphenol A einen Komplex bildet, der die Epoxidierung beschleunigt.
    Notes: Novel epoxy resins containing chromium acrylate have been synthesized by reacting chromium acrylate with bisphenol-A and excess epichlorohydrin. The quantities such as epoxy equivalent weight, hydroxy content, hydrolyzable chlorine content and viscosity have been determined. The resins have been characterized by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The cured resins were evaluated for thermal properties. The curing of resins was carried out with Ciba Geigy HY 850 (aliphatic amine adduct) at 30°C for 24 h. The cured resins have excellent thermal and chemical resistance, in addition to an excellent electrical conductivity. The reaction follows first order kinetics with an activation energy of 47 kJ mol-1 and 34 kJ mol-1 in the presence and absence of chromium acrylate, respectively. The chromium forms a complex with bisphenol-A, as indicated by spectroscopic studies, which increases epoxidation.

Die IPNs wurden durch ihre physikalischen, mechanischen und morphologischen Eigenschaften wie Dichte, Shore-A-Härte, Vernetzungsdichte, Zugfestigkeit und Reißdehnung charakterisiert. Mit steigendem Polystyrolgehalt erhöhen sich auch Dichte, Shore-A-Härte und Zugfestigkeit, während die Reißdehnung abnimmt. Die Untersuchungen der Vernetzungsdichte lassen eine Phasenumkehr vermuten.
    Notes: Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) of polyurethane based on hydroxyterminated natural rubber with varying NCO/OH ratios and polystyrene were synthesized under different experimental conditions. These IPNs were found to make tough films. The IPNs were characterized by their physical, mechanical and morphological properties like density, Shore-A hardness, crosslink density, tensile strength and elongation at break. The IPNs exhibited an increasing trend in density, Shore-A hardness and tensile strength with increasing polystyrene content, while elongation at break decreased with similar variation in polystyrene content. The crosslink density measurements indicated a possible phase inversion process.

Bei 2,45 GHz erzeugtes Luft-Plasma steigert die Hydrophilie der Membranoberfläche von 0 auf 60%. Der Durchfluß bleibt bei 90 bis 99%. Mit Plasma behandelte Membranen sind leichter zu reinigen als unbehandelte; dennoch sind sie anfälliger für die Ablagerung von Rinderserumalbumin.
    Notes: The effect of plasma treatment of polyethylene ultrafiltration membranes on fouling and cleaning phenomena during filtration of bovine serum albumin solutions is discussed. Air-plasma of 2.45 GHz raises the membrane surface hydrophilicity from 0 up to 60%. The flux is maintained at 90-99%. Plasma-treated membranes are easier to clean than untreated polyethylene membranes. Despite that, the plasma-modified membranes are susceptible to more intensive deposition of albumin.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Immobilisierung von Glucose-Oxidase in einer Poly(vinylalkohol) (PVAL)-Membran in Gegenwart von UV-Photoinitiatoren wurde untersucht. Enzym-Membranen wurden aus PVAL-Diazoharz- und PVAL-Photoinitiator-Systemen durch Vernetzung mit UV-Licht hergestellt. Mit diesen immobilisierten Glucose-Oxidase-Membranen wurde eine wirkungsvolle Enzymelektrode entwickelt, deren Eigenschaften untersucht wurden. Der Einfluß der Photoinitiatorkonzentration in Poly(vinylalkohol) und der UV-Bestrahlungsdauer auf den Grad der Unlöslichkeit sowie die Aktivitätsausbeute der Membran wurden mit Glucose als Substrat untersucht. Temperatur- und pH-Abhängigkeit der relativen Aktivität, Stabilität bei mehrmaligem Gebrauch, Lagerstabilität und Kalibrierungsdiagramme der Enzym-Membranen wurden ermittelt. Eine beim Erstgebrauch auftretende Instabilitätserscheinung der Membranen wurde ebenfalls untersucht.
    Notes: A study of the immobilization of glucose oxidase on a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAL) membrane in the presence of UV sensitizers was carried out. Enzyme membranes were prepared from PVAL-diazoresin and PVAL-sensitizer systems, crosslinked by means of UV irradiation. An effective enzyme electrode was developed by using the immobilized glucose oxidase membrane, and its characteristics were investigated. The effects of the concentration of sensitizers in poly(vinyl alcohol) and UV irradiation time on the degree of insolubility as well as the activity yield of the membrane were examined for the immobilized glucose oxidase using glucose as a substrate. Temperature and pH dependences of the relative activity, stability in repeated use, storage stability and calibration plots of the enzyme membranes were evaluated. The unstability phenomenon, found in the initial use of the immobilized glucose oxidase membrane, which was prepared from PVAL-sensitizer system, was also investigated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Biopol, Biocellat and Mater-Bi, three biologically decomposable plastics have been tested for their use in medical industries. Biopol did not loose its stress and stiffness under sterilisation, and was also resistant against temperature and alcohol. Mater-Bi and Biocellat, the two other materials, did not satisfy the test applications. Water vapor sterilisation, temperature up to 60°C, at higher temperatures this material will embrittle.
    Notes: Für den Einsatz biologisch abbaubarer Kunststoffe in der pharmazeutischen Industrie und Medizintechnik wurden Produkte verschiedener Hersteller, wie Biopol, Biocellat und Mater-Bi untersucht. Dabei zeigte vor allem Biopol das notwendige Anforderungsprofil, d.h. die Anwendbarkeit aller Sterilisationsverfahren ohne Festigkeitsbzw. Steifigkeitsverluste sowie Temperatur- und Alkoholbeständigkeit. Dagegen wiesen die Werkstoffe Mater-Bi und Biocellat einige Schwachstellen auf. Bei Mater-Bi lagen diese bei der Wasserdampfsterilisation sowie bei der geringen thermischen und Medienbeständigkeit. Biocellat versprödet dagegen durch die erhöhte Temperatur bei der Dampfsterilisation, d.h. daß ein Einsatz über 60°C nicht möglich wäre.

Die vergleichenden Untersuchungen über die isomere Zusammensetzung und die spektroskopischen Daten von Poly(N-alkyl-5-vinyltetrazol)en, die durch die Alkylierung von Poly(5-vinyltetrazol) sowie durch die Copolymerisation der entsprechenden Monomeren hergestellt wurden, wurden mit IR-, 1H-NMR- und 13C-NMR-Spektroskopie durchgeführt. Der Alkylierungsumsatz beträgt bis zu 99,8%; dadurch können polymere Produkte erhalten werden, deren Zusammensetzung, Struktur und Eigenschaften denen der Homo- und Copolymeren sehr ähnlich sind.
    Notes: Alkylation of poly(5-vinyl tetrazole) with dimethyl sulfate and tert-butyl alcohol as well as with alkyl halides RHal (R=CH3, C2H5, CH2—CH=CH2, n-C4H9, t-C4H9) has been studied under various conditions in order to develop a new method of synthesis of tetrazole-containing polymers having a complex of valuable properties. The kinetic study of the process and comparison of isomeric compositions and spectroscopic characteristics (IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR) of poly(N-alkyl-5-vinyl tetrazole)s synthesized by alkylation of poly(5-vinyl tetrazole) and of those prepared by (co)polymerization of the corresponding vinyl tetrazoles have been carried out. The alkylation is found to proceed to high conversion extents (up to 99.8%) and enables to obtain a wide variety of polymeric products having the composition, structure and properties very similar to those of homo- and copolymers.

Die Farbstoffe (aromatische Iminester von HEMA) wurden mit Styrol copolymerisiert, die erhaltenen Copolymere wurden mit DSC sowie IR-, 1H NMR- und UV-VIS-Spektroskopie charakterisiert, und ihre nichtlinearen Eigenschaften wurden untersucht. Es zeigte sich, daß die nichtlinearen Koeffizienten d31 und d33 vom Farbstoffgehalt der Copolymeren und der Art der elektronenspendenden Gruppen abhängig sind.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß von Ca2+-bzw. Al3+-Ionen auf das Viskositätsverhalten (Salzverträglichkeit) wäßriger Lösungen von Natriumcarboxymethylcellulose (CMC) sowohl mit unterschiedlichem Polymerisationsgrad (DP) als auch mit unterschiedlichem Substitutionsgrad (DS) und verschiedenartiger Substitutentenverteilung wurde untersucht. Aus Viskositätsmessungen mit einem Rotationsviskosimeter bei einer Scherrate von 500 s-1 geht hervor, daß die relative Abnahme der Viskosität im Ergebnis des Zusatzes der mehrwertigen Metallkationen unabhängig vom DP (im Bereich von 160 bis 900) der CMC ist. Homogen hergestellte CMC-Proben 2 mit einem größeren Gehalt an 2,3,6-Tri-O-carboxymethylglucose-Einheiten in der Polymerkette weisen im Vergleich zu heterogen hergestellten CMCs 1 bei gleichem Gesamt-DS eine höhere Salzverträglichkeit auf.
    Notes: The influence of Ca2+-and Al3+-ions, respectively, upon the viscosity behaviour (so-called salt tolerance) of aqueous solutions of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with different degree of polymerization (DP) and, on the other hand, with both different degree of substitution (DS) and distribution of substituents, was investigated. Viscosimetry by means of a rotational rheometer at a shear rate of 500 s-1 shows that the relative drop in viscosity as a result of addition of the multivalent metal cations is independent of DP (ranging from 160 to 900) of the CMC samples. Homogeneously synthesized CMCs (2) with a higher content of 2,3,6-tri-O-carboxymethyl glucose units in the polymer chain possess a significantly higher salt tolerance than those (1) prepared under heterogeneous reaction conditions at comparable total DS values.

    Description / Table of Contents: Melamin-Formaldehyd-Harz-Formmassen (MF) wurden durch mechanisches Mischen mit Ethylen-Vinylacetat-Copolymeren (EVA) und teilverseiftem EVA modifiziert, wobei Etherbindungen zwischen dem hydrolysierten EVA und dem MF-Harz nachgewiesen werden konnten, die die mechanischen Eigenschaften von spritzgepreßten Formteilen im Vergleich zur Modifizierung mit EVA verbessern. Der Zusatz solcher Modifikatoren erhöht die Duktilität und verringert im Falle von EVA die Nachschwindung der überaus steifen MF-Matrix, solange der Modifikatoranteil gering bleibt. Dagegen werden die Steifigkeit und die Wärmeformbeständigkeit verschlechtert. Die durch solche unvernetzten Polymeren erreichbare Steigerung der Schlagzähigkeit bleibt allerdings unzureichend.
    Notes: Melamine-formaldehyde moulding compounds (MF) were modified by mechanical mixing with ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA) and with partially hydrolysed EVA. Ether linkages between the hydrolysed material and the MF resin improve the mechanical properties of the transfer moulded parts containing the hydrolysed material compared to those made with EVA. The use of both modifying polymers improves the ductility and, in case of the partially hydrolysed material, the postshrinkage of the extremely rigid MF matrix, as long as the modification polymer content is kept low. On the contrary, Young's modulus and the heat deflection temperature are deteriorated. The improvement in impact strength by use of those uncrosslinked polymers is still insufficient.

Die thermischen Eigenschaften der synthetisierten Polymeren (Glasübergangs-, Schmelz-, und Zersetzungstemperaturen, Schmelzenthalpien) wurden durch DSC- und TGA-Messungen bestimmt und in Bezug auf das Comonomerverhältnis in der Ausgangsmischung diskutiert. Die Übereinstimmung der Copolymerzusammensetzung mit dem Ausgangscomonomerverhältnis wurde mit FT-IR- und NMR-Spektroskopie untersucht.

    Notes: A series of copolyesteramides based on adipic acid/1,6-hexane diamine/∊-caprolactone and Nylon 6,6 salt/∊-caprolactone were synthesized. Their molecular weights, determined by gel permeation chromatography and NMR spectroscopy, were found to lie within the range from 1000 up to 7000. Their thermal properties (glass transitions, melting points and heats of melting, and decomposition temperatures) were recorded with diferential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry, respectively, and correlated to the comonomer feed composition. The FT-IR and NMR spectra were also recorded in order to confirm the composition of the copolyesteramides and to compare them with that of the comonomer feed. The biodegradability of the synthesized copolymers was tested by enzymatic hydrolysis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch sulfonsäurekatalysierte Umsetzung von Abietinsäure und Paraformaldehyd bei hohen Temperaturen wurden neuartige Kondensationsprodukte erhalten. Als Nebenprodukte der Polykondensation werden eine Ketoverbindung sowie Wasser und Kohlendioxid gebildet. Die Carboxygruppen der Abietinsäure sind an der Kondensationsreaktion beteiligt. In Abwesenheit von Paraformaldehyd wurde das Abietinsäure/Sulfonsäurekatalysator-System untersucht, um zusätzliche Informationen über die Reaktion zu erhalten. Der Reaktionsverlauf hängt von der Temperatur und der chemischen Struktur des Katalysators ab. Ein möglicher Reaktionsmechanismus der Kondensation wird diskutiert.
    Notes: New condensation products have been synthesized by heating abietic acid and formaldehyde at high temperatures in the presence of sulfonic-type acid catalysts. The main polycondensation reaction is associated with a secondary one which leads to a ketonic compound, carbon dioxide and water. The carboxylic groups of abietic acid participate in this condensation reaction. The behaviour of the abietic acid-sulfonic acid catalyst system was studied in absence of formaldehyde to acquire additional information about the reaction. The process is defined by the reaction temperature and chemical nature of the catalyst. A possible mechanism of the condensation reaction is discussed on the basis of the obtained results.

    Notes: Alkanes with highly substituted carbon-carbon bonds can be cleaved in free radicals by homolytic dissociation under the influence of thermal energy. The energy of dissociation is mainly determined by the type and size of the respective substituents. For tetraarylbutane dinitriles the temperatures of decomposition are in the range of other technically used initiators. But nevertheless, these compounds are up to now rather seldom used to initiate free radical polymerizations. This is connected with the special mechanism of initiation: the formed highly substituted alkyl radicals are relatively stable and show only a rather low reactivity against the usually used monomers. Therefore, in the beginning of the polymerization the radical concentration is rather high which leads not only to addition to monomers but also to a pronounced primary radical termination. In some cases this termination process is reversible which results in an unusual polymerization kinetics. Depending on the type of monomer and the degree of reversibility of the primary radical termination, either a period of “dead-end” polymerization follows or the cleavage of the oligomers at the chain end results in a re-initiation process with a “normal” polymerization with increased rate. The reaction mechanism, kinetics and some possible applications of such initiating alkanes are reported.

    Description / Table of Contents: Untersuchungen wesentlicher Aspekte der Polymerisation und der Eigenschaftsmodifikation auf Metallocen-Katalyse basierender Cycloolefin-Copolymere (COC) zeigen, daß mit dieser Monomer-Katalysator-Kombination eine neue Klasse transparenter Thermoplasten zugänglich gemacht wird. COC können mit Metallocenen in beliebiger zusammensetzung und mit kontrollierter Mikrostruktur hergestellt werden. Die somit erreichte und durch zusätzliche Modifikationen noch erweiterbare Breite des Eigenschaftsspektrums ermöglicht vielfältige Anwendungen dieser neuen Polymerklasse. Die wichtigsten Schlüsselfaktoren im rohstofflich-technologischen Bereich, die diese Struktur- und Eigenschaftsvielfalt ergeben, werden beispielhaft beschrieben.
    Notes: Investigation of the polymerization process and property modification of metallocene-based cycloolefin copolymers (COC) shows that this monomer-catalyst combination enables synthesis of a new class of transparent thermoplastic polymers. Metallocene catalysis offers much opportunity to vary the composition and microstructure of the copolymers. The breadth of the polymer spectrum which can be further widened by polymer modification enables many applications for this new class of thermoplastics. The key parameters that control structure and properties in the COC family are discussed in this paper.

    Notes: The present paper deals with the synthesis and modification of functionalized polymers characterized by a special molecular architecture. The reactivity of a functionalized polymer with comb-like structure can be controlled in a significant manner by the crystalline order of the side chains. In contrast, photocrosslinking of comblike polymers containing cinnamic components in the side chains influences the crystallization process. The air drying process of a modified polybutadiene system with comb-like structure was shown to depend sensitively on the side chain order. Enzymatic synthesis of new monomers and polymers is briefly reviewed. The complexing capability of cyclodextrines were used to synthesize polyrotaxanes. Finally, the synthesis of a chiral polymerizable dendrimer containing eight estergroups in the monomer unit is presented.

    Notes: Intramolecularly crosslinked poly(organosiloxane) particles are prepared by means of emulsion polycondensation or emulsion polymerization of alkoxysilanes or cyclic organic siloxanes. Starting from these intramolecularly crosslinked poly(organosiloxane) particles, graft copolymers are obtained by free-radical emulsion polymerization of unsaturated olefinic monomers (e.g. acrylates, styrene) in the presence of (functionalized) organosiloxanes. Intramolecularly crosslinked poly(siloxane) particles and their graft copolymers are characterized by means of light scattering (in dispersion), electron microscopy and thermal analyses (DSC, DMTA).

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Zusammenhang zwischen der Mischbarkeit und den physikalischen Eigenschaften von Polymerblends aus Poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylenoxid) (PPO), die in unterschiedlichen Zusammensetzungen in einem Doppelschneckenextruder mit Polystyrol, schlagzähem Polystyrol oder Styrol-Butadien-Copolymeren hergestellt wurden, wird diskutiert. Die Verträglichkeit der Komponenten wurde mittels DSC und DMA, die Morphologie der Blends mittels SEM untersucht. Mit abnehmendem Polystyrolanteil wurde eine schlechtere Mischbarkeit bei den Blends beobachtet, deren Kerbschlagempfindlichkeit sich erhöhte. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse werden mit dem Micellmodell interpretiert.
    Notes: The relationship between the miscibility and the physical properties of polymer blends of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) and polystyrene (PS), high-impact polystyrene (IPS) and poly(styrene-block-butadiene-block-styrene) (SBS), which are blended in different compositions by a twin-screw extruder is discussed. The three types of SBS that were used are SBS1, SBS2 and SBS3 having different styrene/butadiene ratios. Dynamic mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry were used to study the miscibility. The morphology was examined by SEM. The miscibility of the blends decreases with decreasing PS content. The notch sensitivity is improved by blending. Finally, the micelle model was used to explain the testing phenomena.

    Description / Table of Contents: Aliphatische Polyamide mit Poly(ethylenoxid)-Kettensegmenten unterschiedlicher Länge wurden durch Grenzflächenpolymerisation aus Succinylchlorid und Jeffamine ED-900 (O,O'-Bis(2-aminopropyl)poly(ethylenglykol) 800) bzw. Jeffamine ED-2001 (O,O'-Bis(2-aminopropyl)poly(ethylenglykol) 1900) zur Verwendung als Trägersubstanzen für Medikamente synthetisiert. Copolyamide mit kurzkettigen Diamin- und Jeffamine-Segmenten sowie Polyamide aus Cystin und Diamineinheiten wurden auf die gleiche Weise hergestellt. Die Polymerisationen wurden im zweiphasigen System Dichlormethan/Wasser bei Temperaturen um 0°C durchgeführt. Die Polymerprodukte wurden durch stufenweise Dialyse in wäßriger Phase bis zu einem Molekulargewicht von 25000 fraktioniert, nach Gefriertrocknung als wasserlösliche Harze oder Feststoffe erhalten und durch Mikroanalyse sowie 1H NMR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Die inhärenten Viskositäten liegen im Bereich von 10-20 ml/g. Die Eignung eines repräsentativen Zielmoleküls zur Bindung von Medikamenten wurde durch eine kovalente Verankerung einer als Medikamentmodell fungierenden Ferrocen-Verbindung untersucht. Dabei wurde ein wasserlösliches Polymer-Ferrocen-Konjugat erhalten.
    Notes: Aliphatic polyamides comprising poly(ethylene oxide) chain segments of various lengths, designed for use as drug carriers, are synthesized by interfacial polymerization of succinyl chloride with the two Jeffamine types ED-900 and ED-2001, formally described by the supplier as O,O'-bis(2-aminopropyl)poly(ethylene glycol) 800 and O,O'-bis(2-aminopropyl)poly(ethylene glycol) 1900. Copolyamides comprising both short-chain diamine and Jeffamine segments are similarly prepared, as are polyamides made up of cystine and diamine segments. The polymerizations are performed in a two-phase methylene chloride-water system at temperatures near or below 0°C. The product polymers, crudely fractionated by staged aqueous-phase dialysis at an ultimate molecular-mass cut-off of 25000, are collected after freeze-drying as water-soluble resins or solids and are characterized microanalytically and by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Inherent viscosities are in the range of 10-20 ml g-1. The drug-binding potential of a representative target polymer is probed by the covalent anchoring of a ferrocene compound used as a drug model, giving a water-soluble polymer-ferrocene conjugate.

    Description / Table of Contents: Das Katalysatorsystem Zirkonocendichlorid/Methylalumoxan wurde auf Siliciumdioxid aufgebracht, um Katalysatoren fur die Suspensions- order Gasphasenpolymerisation von Ethylen herzustellen. Die häochste Aktivitäat wurde für eine sandwichartige, dreilagige Verankerung von Zirkonzentren auf der Träageroberfläache gefunden. Dieneuen Katalysatorsysteme besitzen eine im Vergleich zu den entsprechenden homogenen Katalysatoren geringere Aktivitäat. Die Immobilisierung der aktiven Katalysatorzentren führt zu einer deutlichen Erhäohung der Polymermolmassen. Dabei bleibt die enge Molekulargewichtsverteilung der Polymerprodukte nahezu erhalten. Solche auf Träager aufgebrachte Metallocen-Katalysatoren käonnten für die Herstellung von Polyethylenen mit kontrollierter Rheologie Anwendung finden.
    Notes: The system zirconocene dichloride/methylalumoxane was supported on silica in order to provide ethylene polymerization catalysts for suspension or gas phase processes. Highest activity was found for a sandwich-like, three layer anchoring of the zirconium centers on the support surface. The new catalyst systems show a decrease of activity compared to polymerization experiments in homogeneous phase. However, the molecular weights are increased and the weight distributions remain narrow by immobilization of the active catalyst sites. Those supported metallocene catalysts could find application for the synthesis of polyethylene materials with controlled rheology.

    Description / Table of Contents: Vernetzte Copolmere aus Butylacrylat (BA) und Ethylenglycol-dimethacrylat (EGDMA) wurden auf ihre Eignung als stationäare Phase für die Chromatographie untersucht. Es wurde festgestellt, daß gering vernetzte Copolymere (〈 30 Gew.-% EGDMA) nicht poräos sind, wäahrend Matrices mit mehr als 40 Gew.-% EGDMA eine konstante Porositäat aufweisen. Eine Erhäohung des Vernetzergehaltes beeinflußt hauptsäachlich die Hydrophobie der Oberfläache. Zwei Meßmethoden für diese Eigenschaft werden diskutiert: Die Absorption von Alkylalkoholen und von Aminosäauren. Für letztere wurde aus der Steigung der Beziehung zwischen der Sälenkapazitäat und dem Hydrophobie-Parameter der Aminosäauren ein Matrix-Hydrophobie-Index berechnet und dieser mit den bekannten Energien der Wechselwirkung von Alkylalkohol—CH2 Gruppen mit der Polymermatrix verglichen. Die Vorteile der Verwendung des Hydrophobie-Indexes bei der Bewertung von polymeren Sorbentien werden aufgezeigt.
    Notes: Copolymers of butyl acrylate (BA) crosslinked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) were evaluated as potential chromatographic packings. It was found that slightly crosslinked copolymers (up to 30 wt.-% EGDMA) did not provide porous material, while for matrices which exceeded 40 wt.-% of EGDMA the porous structure remained unchangeable. The increase of crosslinker content mostly affected the surface hydrophobicity. Two methods of measurement of this property were discussed: Sorption of alkyl alcohols and amino acids. Taking the latter for testing, a polymer matrix hydrophobicity index was calculated as the slope of dependence of column capacity vs. amino acid hydrophobicity parameter. The indices were verified against well-established interaction energies of —CH2— groups of alkyl alcohols and polymer surfaces. Some benefits of the use of the hydrophobicity index in evaluation of polymer sorbents were demonstrated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Kondensation von 3-Glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilan I mit Diphenylsilandiol II wurde untersucht. Abhängig von Lösungsmittel, Temperatur und Katalysator werden unterschiedliche Primärprodukte erhalten. Die Reaktion in Masse bei 120°C mit Titan(IV)-isopropylat als Katalysator liefert ein transparentes Harz A. Das eduktfreie Produkt wurde IR-, 1H- und 13C-NMR-spektroskopisch charakterisiert und chromatographisch mit GPC und HPLC untersucht. Die trimeren und tetrameren Siloxane bestehen aus Diphenylsilan- und 3-Glycidyloxypropylmethoxysilaneinheiten. Das Verhältnis von cyclischen zu linearen Molekülen beträgt 2:1. Höhermolekulare Verbindungen entstehen nur in geringen Mengen. Das Epoxysiloxangemisch löst sich in unterschiedlichen organischen Lösungsmitteln und ist mit kommerziell verfügbaren Epoxiden mischbar. Die Zeitabhs̈ngigkeit von Viskosität und Epoxidwert bei der Lagerung unter Normalbedingungen wurden gemessen und mit HPLC verfolgt . Die Lagerstabilität wurde durch eine zusätzliche thermische Behandlung verbessert.
    Notes: Condensation of 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane I with diphenylsilanediol II was investigated. Depending on solvent, temperature and catalyst, different products were obtained. Bulk reaction at 120°C using titanium(IV)-isopropylate as a catalyst provided the transparent resin A. A was characterised by IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and contained no reactants. GPC and HPLC studies revealed that A consists of trimer and tetramer siloxanes of pertinent diphenylsilane and 3-glycidyloxypropylmethoxysilane moieties. The proportion of cyclic to linear molecules was evaluated 2:1. Only small amounts of high-molecular-weight compounds were observed. The epoxysiloxane product proved to be miscible with various organic solvents and with commercial epoxy resins. Time dependence of viscosity and epoxy content were recorded during ambient storage and monitored by HPLC. Pot-life was improved by a subsequent thermal procedure.

    Description / Table of Contents: Cis-1,4-Polybutadien wurde durch Polymerisation von 1,3-Butadien mit Katalysatorsystemen hergestellt, die Ni(OOC8H15)2 und Al(C2H5)3 sowie die Lewissäuren BF3 · O(C2H5)2 oder TiCl4 enthalten. Die Molmassenverteilungen (MMD) der erhaltenen Polybutadiene wurden mit der Größenausschlußchromatographie (SEC) untersucht. Sie lassen sich mit Summen aus Schulz-Flory-Funktionen (SFF) beschreiben. Da eine Art aktiver Zentren eine SFF ergibt, die durch Molmassenmittelwerte definiert ist, lassen sich verschiedene Molmassenverteilungen nach Bandentrennung auf gleiche und verschiedene Arten aktiver Zentren untersuchen. In den untersuchten Systemen lassen sich zwei vergleichbare und eine unterscheidbare Art aktiver Zentren zuordnen. Auf diese Weise wurde das Kettenwachstum in Abhängigkeit von den Komponenten und Katalysatorformierungsbedingungen untersucht.
    Notes: Cis-1,4-polybutadiene was produced by polymerization of 1,3-butadiene using a catalyst system containing Ni(OOC8H15)2 and Al(C2H5)3 and the Lewis acids BF3 · O(C2H5)2 or TiCl4. The molar mass distributions (MMD) of the polybutadienes are investigated by means of size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The MMD's were fitted by a sum of Schulz-Flory-Functions (SFF). Taking into account that one kind of active species gives one SFF defined by molar mass averages, one comparable active species in both systems and one different were found. This way it was tried to find a relationship between the grown up of the active species depending on components and reactions conditions.

    Notes: αD-N-acetyl neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac, sialic acid) is a commonly occurring carbohydrate residue in various cell surface glycolipids and glycoproteins. This residue is linked terminally or internally to Gal residues via an α(2 → 3) or α(2 → 6) linkage. In the cell surface receptor, sialyl-LewisX, a terminal α(2 → 3) linkage is present. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that in solution LewisX adopts a relatively rigid structure. In order to model the Neu5Ac residue, vacuum molecular dynamics of this monosaccharide were compared with simulations that explicitly include solvent water. The dynamical average of the monosaccharide conformation obtained from the two simulations was similar. Vacuum calculations for the disaccharide Neu5Ac α(2 → 3) Gal β-O-methyl show that a number of low energy minima are accessible to this disaccharide. Molecular dynamics simulations starting from the low energy minima show conformational transitions with a time scale of 10-50 ps among several of the minima while large barriers between other minima prevent transitions on the time scale studied. Simulations of this disaccharide in the presence of solvent show fewer conformational transitions, illustrating a dampening effect of the solvent that has been observed in some other studies. Our results are most consistent with an equilibrium among multiple conformations for the Neu5Ac α(2 → 3) Gal β linkage. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
