    Description / Table of Contents: Summary An immunohistochemical and morphometric study was performed on bone marrow biopsies in 604 patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) to compare morphological and clinical features and to evaluate effects of interferon (IFN) and chemotherapy. Following morphometry significant correlations were calculated between number of CD61+ megakaryocytes, including their precursors with fiber density. This finding is in line with the close functional relationship between megakaryopoiesis and fibroblasts regarding the complex pathomechanism of myelofibrosis. The latter was observed in about 28% of patients already at diagnosis. In a similar way, the frequency of CD68+ macrophages was correlated with the amount of Ret40f+ nucleated erythroid precursors, implicating an involvement of this cell lineage in iron turnover, hemoglobin synthesis, and degradation of the expelled nuclei from normoblasts. The (α-D-galactosyl residue-expressing) Pseudo-Gaucher cells were detectable in 30% of pretreatment specimens. Moreover, significant associations were calculable between reduction in erythropoiesis or increase in fibers with clinical features such as hemoglobin level, percentages of myelo- and erythroblasts in the peripheral blood, and spleen size. These variables are in keeping with more advanced stages of CML. Based on our morphometric evaluations, a classification into three different histological subgroups: granulocytic, megakaryocytic, and myelofibrotic was carried out. This simplified staging system was correlated with corresponding sets of hematological data. Sequential biopsies in 173 patients with monotherapy by IFN, hydroxyurea (HU), or busulfan (BU) revealed a fibrogenic effect of IFN in contrast to a fiber-reducing property of HU. The dynamics of myelofibrosis and changes of major cell lineages during treatment were readily demonstrable by calculating corresponding indices. These included the ratios between quantitative differences of corresponding variables at repeated examinations and time. Thus, in patients with complete hematological remission following IFN administration, regeneration of erythropoiesis was found to be accompanied by an increase in the total number of CD68+ macrophages, including activated subpopulations. Histological subgroups showed a transition from a (nonfibrotic) granulocytic and megakaryocyte pattern to the myelofibrotic subtype in about 40% of patients. This change was opposed to a numerical reduction in the myelofibrotic subtype which occurred in 17 patients (36%), but predominantly in those under HU therapy. In conclusion, the striking heterogeneity of bone marrow features in CML warrants a careful morphological evaluation of trephine biopsies and appropriate means of processing to achieve relevant correlations with clinical data and, thus, allows a more elaborate insight into the dynamics of the disease process.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei 604 Patienten mit einer chronischen myeloischen Leukämie (CML) wurde anhand von Beckenkammbiopsien eine immunhistochemische und morphometrische Studie durchgeführt, um morphologische und klinische Befunde miteinander zu vergleichen und die Auswirkungen der Interferon- (IFN) und Chemotherapie abzuklären. Anhand der morphometrischen Analyse konnten signifikante Korrelationen zwischen der Anzahl CD61+-Megakaryozyten einschließlich ihrer Vorläuferzellen mit der Faserdichte berechnet werden. Dieser Befund spiegelt die enge funktionelle Beziehung zwischen der Megakaryopoese und den Fibroblasten im Hinblick auf den komplexen Pathomechanismus der Myelofibroseentstehung wider. Diese war bei etwa 28% der Patienten bereits zum Diagnosezeitpunkt zu beobachten. In ähnlicher Weise war die Anzahl der CD68+-Makrophagen mit der Menge an Ret40f+-kernhaltigen erythropoetischen Vorläuferzellen korreliert, was durch die Einbindung dieser Zellinie in den Eisenstoffwechsel, die Hämoglobinsynthese sowie den Abbau der ausgestoßenen Normoblastenkerne in Zusammenhang gebracht werden kann. Die (α-D-Galaktosylreste-expremierende) Pseudo-Gaucherzellen ließen sich in 30% der Biopsien vor Behandlung nachweisen. Weiterhin konnten signifikante Beziehungen zwischen einer Reduktion der Erythropoese oder einer Zunahme der Verfaserung mit klinischen Parametern wie dem Hämoglobinspiegel, dem Anteil an Myelo- und Erythro-Normoblasten im peripheren Blut und der Milzgröße berechnet werden. Diese Variablen kennzeichnen offensichtlich mehr fortgeschrittene Stadien der CML. Entsprechend unserer morphometrischen Auswertung wurde eine Klassifikation in drei unterschiedliche histologische Subgruppen vorgenommen: granulozytisch, megakaryozytisch und myelofibrotisch. Dieser vereinfachten histologischen Einteilung waren entsprechende hämatologische Daten zuzuordnen. Sequenzbiopsien an 173 Patienten, die eine Monotherapie mit IFN, Hydroxyurea (HU) oder Busulfan (BU) erhielten, zeigten einen fibrogenetischen Effekt von IFN im Gegensatz zu einer eher faserreduzierenden Eigenschaft von HU. Die Dynamik der Myelofibroseentwicklung und die entsprechende Veränderungen der hauptsächlichen Zellinien während der Behandlung ließen sich am besten durch eine Kalkulation von Indizes verdeutlichen. Diese beinhalteten das Verhältnis aus quantitativen Unterschieden der einzelnen Variablen in den wiederholt durchgeführten Entnahmen und den zugeordneten zeitlichen Differenzen. So war bei Patienten mit einer kompletten hämatologischen Remission nach IFN-Gabe die Regeneration der Erythropoese zusammen mit einem Anstieg in der Anzahl CD68+-Makrophagen einschließlich ihrer aktivierten Subpopulation auszumachen. Die histologischen Subgruppen ließen bei fortlaufenden Untersuchungen einen Übergang sowohl von einem (nicht verfaserten) granulozytären wie auch megakaryozytären Subtyp in eine myelofibrotische Gruppe bei etwa 40% der Patienten erkennen. Dieses Phänomen stand im Gegensatz zu einer anzahlmäßigen Reduzierung des myelofibrotischen Typs vor allem bei Patienten unter HU-Therapie in 17 Fällen (36%). Zusammengefaßt erfordert die auffallende Heterogenität der Knochenmarkbefunde bei der CML eine sorgfältige morphologische Auswertung von Biopsien mit geeigneten Methoden, um relevante Korrelationen zwischen klinischen Daten zu berechnen und somit einen besseren Einblick in die Dynamik der Krankheitsentwicklung zu gewinnen.

    Notes: Abstract  Objectives: Natural organic fibers are used in large quantities in the production of paper products and textiles. They are also constituents of food and added to food to promote health. The objective of this review is to evaluate the health effects of natural organic fibers. The health effects of dietary fibers are excluded from the review. Methods: This is a literature review. Results: Exposure to these fibers in industry is usually not characterized as fibers but as dust. Rather dusty conditions have been reported in both paper and textile industries with concentrations up to and above 30 mg/m3. Both in the paper and textile industry inorganic fibers may occur making it hard to evaluate health effects of natural organic fibers from studies of workers in the paper and textile industry. There seems to be no increased risk of mesothelioma, lung cancer or lung fibrosis in workers exposed to natural organic fibers in contrast to workers exposed to inorganic crystalline fibers as asbestos. However, workers with a heavy exposure to paper dust or textile dust seem to have an increased risk of obstructive lung disease and bronchitis. These effects have not been causally linked to the fibrous shape of the particles but rather to the dust, chemicals absorbed on the dust or microorganisms occurring together with the dust. There is some indication that work in the textile industry may increase the risk of sinonasal cancer, but the etiological agents are unknown. Conclusion: Natural organic fibers are not causally linked with the well-known effects of some inorganic fibers, i.e. mesothelioma, lung cancer, lung fibrosis or some pleural diseases. The health effects of natural organic fibers, e.g. irritative effects, seem not to be linked to their fibrous shape.

    Notes: Summary Motivated by recent observations of bent, collapsed and twisted carbon nanotubes, we investigate their behavior at large deformations. These hollow molecules behave remarkably similar to their macroscopic homologs. They reversibly switch into different morphological patterns, and each shape change corresponds to an abrupt release of energy and a singularity in the stress-strain curve. These transformations, simulated using a realistic many-body potential, are accurately described by a continuum-shell model. In contrast, a response to axial tension proceeds smoothly up to a fracture threshold, beyond which a monoatomic carbon chain unravels between the tube fragments.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung An hyperlipämischen Ratten wurde der Einfluß von 7 üblichen ägyptischen Kostformen geprüft. Die Ernährung bestand aus weißen Bohnen und Weizenvollkornbrot (Diät 1), Kohl und Erbsen (2), Spinat und Karotten (3), Weizenvollkornbrot und Bohnensprossen (4), Weizenvollkornbrot, weißen Bohnen und Erbsen (5), weißen Bohnen und Karotten (6) und schließlich Erbsen und Karotten (7). Die Versuche dauerten 5 Wochen, danach wurden verschiedene Plasmalipide und biologische Parameter mit hyperlipämischen Kontrolltieren verglichen. Das Gesamtplasmacholesterol war in allen Versuchsgruppen erniedrigt; eine Ausnahme machte Diät 6, hier gab es keine Senkung. Erniedrigt waren die Gesamtplasmalipide in Gruppe 5. Plasmaphospholipide stiegen an in den Gruppen 3 und 7. In Gruppe 3 war das HDL-Cholesterol erniedrigt. Die Gewichtszunahmen in den Gruppen 1, 2 und 3 waren reduziert. Ein verminderter Futterverzehr wurde in den Gruppen 1 und 6 beobachtet. Die Futterverwertung sank in den Gruppen 1, 5 und 6. In allen 7 Gruppen war das Gewicht der Faeces erhöht.
    Notes: Summary Seven types of diets commonly consumed in Egypt were studied in hyperlipemic rats. Each of the seven diets were fed to a group of hyperlipemic rats. The diets contain white beans and whole wheat bread (Diet 1); cabbage and peas (2); spinach and carrots (3); whole wheat bread and bean sprouts (4); whole wheat bread, white beans and peas (5); white beans and carrots (6) and the last diet contains peas and carrots (7). The experiment continued for 5 weeks, at the the of which different plasma lipids and biological parameters were compared to hyperlipemic rats fed the control diet for 5 weeks. Results showed that plasma total cholesterol of rats of all groups showed significant decrease, except in rats fed diet 6 in which no significant change was noticed. Plasma total lipids of rats fed diet 5 decreased significantly. Plasma phospholipids of rats fed diets 3 and 7 increased significantly. Rats fed diet 3 showed decreased levels of plasma high density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Body weight gain of rats fed diets 1, 2 and 3 decreased significantly. Total food intake was noticed to decrease on feeding diets 1 and 6. Significant decrease was produced in food efficiency ratio of rats fed diets 1, 5 and 6. Feeding any type of the previous seven diets produced significant increase of feces weight.

    Notes: Abstract A fresh ligamentous occipito-atlanto-axial (C0-C1-C2) complex was appropriately prepared and serially sectioned into thin slices along the transverse planes. The bony outlines from these slices were digitized and assembled in the proper manner to obtain a three-dimensional model of the complex using the AutoCAD® system. Various ligaments were identified on the model and strains in individual fibers of a ligament were predicted based on the principles of rigid body mechanics. The ligament behaviors in axial rotation, flexion, and extension modes were analyzed. The capsular ligament fibers were predicted to undergo strains in all modes. Furthermore, these ligaments experienced the largest strain among the ligaments analyzed. Fibers within a ligament were found to respond differently; some were more active than the others and some did not experience any strain at all. A differential behavior in the right and left side alar ligament fibers was also found in axial rotation. The transverse ligament was predicted to wrap around the dens during axial rotation. The strain within a fiber was found to be a function of the initial length (ligament laxity) and its distance from the center of rotation.

    Notes: Polyethyleneimine (PEIM) samples crosslinked by a commercial epoxy resin (Epon 828) were prepared, and their adsorption capacity for acidic gases was studied. The swelling and deswelling characteristics of the crosslinked samples were also examined as part of this program. Reactivation of these adsorbents could be carried out by heat, or by a combination of heat and treatment in dilute alkalies.

    Notes: Abstract The properties of gel-spun polyethylene fibers hot-drawn to the maximum draw ratio depend on the spinning conditions. Different spinning conditions result in two types of structure in the paraffin oil containing fibers: an isotropic lamellar structure or a shish-kebab structure. Meridional SAXS experiments can identify the structure present. After extraction, these structures are still present but can be detected only in a more indirect way by SAXS experiments because of an excessive contribution of void scattering. During hot-drawing both structures are transformed into a more fibrillar structure. The shish-kebab structures can be drawn only to relatively low hot-draw ratios with an incomplete transformation of the lamellar overgrowth into the fibrils, as demonstrated by the presence of a meridional SAXS maximum/shoulder. This leads to relatively weak fibers. Lamellar structures can be drawn to high draw ratios by chain unfolding. A nearly complete transformation of the lamellae into fibrils is obtained and the fibers have excellent properties. The information about the morphology obtained by SAXS, DSC, WAXS, and SEM can be used to establish a relation between morphology and properties.

    Notes: Summary The presence and distribution of bombesin-like material were investigated in the brain of the cartilaginous fishScyliorhinus canicula using conventional immunocytochemical techniques. Perikarya containing bombesin-like immunoreactivity were identified in the hypothalamus, within the magnocellular component of the preoptic nucleus. Some immunopositive elements appeared to be of cerebrospinal fluid-contacting type. Beaded immunoreactive fibers were seen crossing the ventral telencephalon and the whole hypothalamus. An important tract of fibers was found in the infundibular floor and in the median eminence, in close contact with the vascular system of the pituitary portal plexus. A moderate number of positive fibers innervated the habenular complex and the dorsal wall of the posterior tuberculum. These findings indicate that a neuropeptide strictly related to amphibian bombesin is located in specific hypothalamic neurons ofS. canicula. The distribution of the immunoreactive fibers and terminals suggests that, in fish, this peptide, may be involved in neuroendocrine and neuromodulator functions.

    Notes: Abstract An apparatus for the determination of zetapotential is described, which allows measurement of both streaming potential and streaming current as well as electroosmosis with one and the same fiber diaphragm with various electrodes (calomel, Ag/AgCl, palladium). Measurements with glass fibers, fibers of polyacrylonitrile and of polyester, and with cellulose pulp show that identical values for the electrokinetic parameters are obtained independent of voltage applied during electroosmosis resp. pressure difference during streaming measurements. This allows the conclusion that the zetapotential in dilute electrolyte solution is here an unequivocally determinable figure.

    Notes: Abstract Conditions which induce a transmembrane electrical potential, positive with respect to the inside of membrane vesicles, result in a substantial (4–12-fold) stimulation of the activity of membrane-associated β-glucan synthetases in a membrane preparation derived from the developing cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fiber. Induction of electrical potentials which are negative with respect to the inside of the membrane vesicle results in little or no stimulation of β-glucan synthesis. Those products whose synthesis is stimulated are mainly β-1,3-glucan, but there is also a considerable increase in β-1,4-glucan. No α-1,4-glucan (starch) was detected in the reaction products. A transmembrane pH gradient was found to have no effect on β-glucan synthesis. The results indicate that a transmembrane electrical potential can influence, either directly or indirectly, the activity of membrane-associated polysaccharide synthetases.

    Notes: Oligomers belong to the gray area between low molecular weight chemistry and macromolecular chemistry. Although they represent an undesirable “natural impurity” in fiber-forming polycondensates, they serve as useful model compounds for the corresponding polymers in fundamental research. Whereas for many years new classes of oligomers were being made preparatively accessible and the isolation of higher oligomers in pure form was being pursued, at the present time the emphasis is on analysis. By a combination of classical chemical and instrumental methods of analysis from polymer and organic chemistry, the identification of oligomers of unknown structure, the analytical control of their synthesis and the determination of their content in technical polymers has meanwhile become a routine task.

    Notes: Abstract Several compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit the in-vivo synthesis of cellulose and other cell-wall polysaccharides in fibers of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) developing on in-vitro cultured ovules. Inhibitory effects were measured by the ability of the compounds to inhibit the incorporation of radioactivity from [U-14C]glucose into these cell-wall polymers. Of the compounds surveyed, 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (DCB) was the most effective and specific one for its effects on cellulose synthesis when compared to its effect on the synthesis of other cell-wall components. At 10 μM DCB caused 80% inhibition of cellulose synthesis, and the effect was reversed upon removal of the DCB, with recovery to 90% of the control rate. Two analogs of DCB, 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzonitrile and 2,6-dichlorobenzene carbothiamide, were as specific and nearly as effective as DCB with respect to their effects on cellulose synthesis. Coumarin, generally regarded as an inhibitor of cellulose synthesis in other plant systems, was effective in cotton fibers in millimolar concentrations and, like DCB, was relatively specific with regard to its effect on cellulose synthesis. DCB and coumarin inhibited the synthesis of both primary and secondary wall cellulose. Bacitracin, an inhibitor of the cycling of phosphorylated polyprenols involved in cell-wall synthesis in bacteria, and ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) and ethyleneglycol-bis-(β-amino-ethylether)-N,N′-tetracetic acid (EGTA), chelators of civalent cations, were also effective, although only at relatively high concentrations, in inhibiting incorporation of radioactivity into cellulose.

    Notes: Abstract A rather precise combination of the three phytohormones, gibberellic acid, auxin, and abscisic acid, is necessary for the considerable growth of fiber nucleoli in Gossypium hirsutum L. for about 8 days after anthesis and for nucleolar “vacuolation” in the second half of that period. Nucleolar growth and vacuolation must occur in a precise sequence for the fiber to reach a good final length. Nucleolar vacuolation indicates simultaneous output and neosynthesis of nucleolar material.

    Notes: The analytical characterization of synthetic fibers has not kept pace with their development and production. Whereas the “second-generation” fibers have already conquered the market, the chemical investigation methods used until now for the three classical fiber polymers of the polyester, polyamide, and polyacrylonitrile types are still frequently unsatisfactory. Though they satisfy the requirements of production supervision and quality control, they do not supply enough information to enable us to understand and to explain the degradation of and damage to the polymers under hydrolytic, thermal, or thermooxidative influences. This report presents methods of chemical analysis that open up new possibilities for investigations of this nature on synthetic fibers. The results reported for commercial products must not be taken as an assessment of quality. They are simply intended to show the diversity to be expected in the chemical properties and to emphasize the practical basis of the chemical analysis of synthetic fibers.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La croissance de la carapace deStrongylocentrotus intermedius est étudiée à l'aide de la tétracycline. Des specimens de l'été ne présentent pas de fluorescence dans les plaques, sauf dans le système apical et les régions voisines. Un faisceau d'éléments fibreux, présentant une autofluorescence blanche laiteuse, est orienté perpendiculairement à chaque ligne de suture. Les spécimens de l'hiver ne présentent ces éléments qu'après décalcification des coupes. La croissance de chaque plaque, chez ces derniers s'effectue de la façon suivante: suture longitudinale » surface interne = mamelon et bosse du tubercule 〉 suture transversale 〉 surface externe de la base de l'épine dorsale 〉 surface externe de la plaque. La carapace adulte augmente de taille selon deux mécanismes de croissance: d'une part, par adjonction de nouvelles plaques au système apical et, d'autre part, par apposition sur des régions données de chaque plaque. Il apparait que des éléments fibreux sont intéressés par la croissance de la carapace et qu'un mécanisme différent de croissance s'observe dans les carapaces de l'été et de l'hiver. Le système apical semble se calcifier selon un mécanisme spécifique qui permet une formation active de plaques nouvelles pendant toute l'année.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Das Wachstum des Skeletes vonStrongylocentrotus intermedius wurde mit Hilfe von Tetracyclin untersucht. Bei Sommerexemplaren konnte die Tetracyclinfluorescenz in den Platten nicht beobachtet werden, außer im apicalen System und seiner anliegenden Umgebung. Eine Menge von fibrösen Elementen mit einer milchig-weißen Autofluorescenz war senkrecht zu jeder Nahtlinie angeordnet. Bei Winterexemplaren waren diese Elemente nur in demineralisierten Schnitten deutlich sichtbar. Der Wachstumsgradient jeder Platte war bei Winterexemplaren der folgende: Longitudinalnaht » innere Oberfläche = Terminalknopf und Hals der Tuberkel 〉 Latitudinalnaht 〉 Oberfläche der Basis des Stachels 〉 äußere Oberfläche der Platte selbst. Das ausgewachsene Skelet als Ganzes vergrößert seinen Umfang auf zwei Wachstumsarten, einerseits durch Zusatz von neuen Platten zum apikalen System, anderseits durch Zuwachs an bestimmten Stellen von jeder Platte. Die Resultate lassen vermuten, daß fibröse Elemente am Skeletwachstum beteiligt sind und daß der Mechanismus dieses Wachstums bei Sommer- und bei Winterexemplaren verschieden ist. Es wäre denkbar, daß das apikale System auf einen spezifischen Mechanismus der Verkalkung ansprechen würde, welcher eine aktive Bildung neuer Platten während des ganzen Jahres erlaubt.
    Notes: Abstract Growth of the test ofStrongylocentrotus intermedius was examined with the aid of tetracycline. In summer specimens, tetracycline fluorescence was not observable in the plates, except in the apical system and its adjacent area. An array of fibrous elements with a milky white autofluorescence was oriented perpendicularly to each suture line. In winter specimens the elements were evident only in demineralized sections. The growth gradient of each plate estimated on winter specimens was as follows: longitudinal sture » inner surface = mammelon and part of boss in tubercle 〉 latitudinal suture 〉 outer surface of base of spine shaft 〉 outer surface of plate itself. The mature test as a whole increases in size by two modes of growth, an addition of new plates to the apical system and an accretion on fixed sites of each plate. The results suggest that fibrous elements are involved in the test growth, and that there is a different mechanism of the test growth between summer and winter specimens. The apical system may be equipped with a specific mechanism of calcification which permits an active formation of new plates throughout the year.

    Notes: Summary The vitreous body of the rat eye was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The freeze-dried specimens were either unfixed, freshly frozen or fixed and rinsed before being frozen. The vitreous body is surrounded by a coat of intercellular material covering a thin sheath of chiefly parallel fibers. The latter forms the base for a regularly organized three-dimensional network of fibers. The interfibrillar spaces are filled with ground substance and also contain a few cells. The shape of the cells varies from bipolar to polyhedronal. Their interconnected processes are usually undivided. The functional importance of this complex regular organization of the fibers and cells in the vitreous body is stressed.

    Notes: High molecular weight poly-β-amides with fiber-forming properties (repeating unit—NH—CR2—CR2—CO—) differ from the polyamides of the nylon series in that the amide groups are much more closely spaced. These polymers are thus the nearest of the synthetic polyamides to natural silk. The production of poly-β-amides was made possible by a recent synthesis of β-lactams from olefins and chlorosulfonyl isocyanate. The anionic polymerization of the β-lactams gives poly-β-amides containing up to 10 000 monomer units in the chain. The molecular weight can be controlled as desired by means of initiators and chain terminators, and the properties can be varied within wide limits by the choice of the β-lactam or by copolymerization of several β-lactams. Remarkable differences are observed between polymers containing structural units in the threo form and those containing erythro structural units. The poly-β-amides can be spun into fibers having valuable textile properties.

    Notes: The formation of free radicals during the process of drawing of spun fibers was observed for the first time with two polyoxamides. The fibers turn red, and an ESR signal can be detected. Both, color and ESR absorption are not permanent. The decrease in the intensity of the ESR absorption and the change in the optical reflectance with time, as well as the dependence of the decoloration on temperature were investigated. The action of high-energy radiation on the polyoxamides also leads to a red coloration and gives rise to ESR signals. It is concluded that the red color is due to free radicals associated with the oxamido group.

    Notes: The term “oligomer” is defined, and a survey of methods for the isolation and synthesis of cyclic and linear oligoesters, oligourethanes, oligo(acrylonitriles), and oligoamides is presented. The oligomers serve a valuable function as model substances for the investigation of many properties of the corresponding high polymers. This is shown using several examples (infrared spectroscopy, X-ray spectroscopy, viscosity).

    Notes: Vinyldendicarbonitrile (Vinylidene cyanide) on free redical catalyzed copolymerization shows a much stronger tendency to form 1:1 alternating copolymers than acrylonitrile. While bulk poly(vinylidene cyanide) fails to crystallize, despite its molecular symmetry, several alternating copolymers are readily crystallizable, notably those containing butadiene, isoprene, isobutylene, or vinylidene chloride. Fibers have been prepared from a number of the higher melting copolymers and examined for physical properties. Fibers from the vinyl acetate and vinyl chloride copolymers show expectional elastic behavior both when dry and wet. The fiber from the vinylidene cyanide |vinyl acetate alternating copolymer (Darvan® nytril fiber) is only moderately oriented and is characterized by exceptional softness and excellent elastic recovery and resilience, both when dry and wet.

    Notes: The industrial production of capryllactam (1-azacyclononan-2-one) and of laurolactam (1-azacyclotridecan-2-one) starts with cyclization of acetylene or butadeine to give cyclooctatetraene or cyclooctadiene, or cyclization of butadiene to give cyclododecatriene. Further steps are: oxidation of the cyclic hydrocarbon to the ketone, formation of the oxime, and rearrangement of the latter with sulfuric acid. Pyrrolidone can be prepared from acetylene and formaldehyde by way of butyrolactone. The behavior of the lactams during polycondensation is described and the properties of the resulting fibers are compared with those of the known polyamide fibers.

    Notes: Meridional reflections appearing in small-angle X-ray diffraction diagrams of drawn polyethylene are caused by a nearly periodic arrangement of crystalline and disordered regions. The long period, which is determined by the average distance between two consecutive crystallites, depends on the method of preparing the sample. The time and temperature dependences of the positions of the small-angle reflections have been investigated. The growth of the long period of unoriented bulk polyethlene and polyethylene single crystal follows the same time dependence as that of stretched films. However, characteristic differences were obseved in the relationship between density and long period; they are attributed to the fact that in single crystals and in material crystallized from the melt, the chains are folded at the boundaries of the crystallites, whereas this in not the case in stretched polyethylene.

    Notes: Highly elastic polyurethanes suitable for fiber production can be obtained by various synthetic routes based on diisocyanate polyaddition processes. Macrodiisocyanates obtained from long chain diols and diisocyanates are allowed to react with polyamines during fiber formation (chemical spinning process) or the macrodiisocyanates are treated in solvents (e.g. dimethylformamide) with polyamines to give highly viscous, spinnable solutions of polymer. Both methods yield highly elastic polymers with wide-mesh network structures. The production of polyurethane fibers and their structures and physical properties are described.

    Notes: β-Lactams can be prepared by cyclization of β-aimno acid esters. Recently they have become available also from olefins by addition of N-carbonysulfamyl chloride (isocyanatosulfonyl chloride) and from aldehydes by reaction with N-carbonylsulfamyl chloride and ketene. Condensative or anionic polymerization results in polyamides the chains of which contain many more amide groups than the chains of polyamides of the nylon-6 type. Hence the new polymers resemble silk moreclosely. Fibers and films can be prepared from solution.

    Notes: Like all basic dyes, azatrimethinecyanines possess a good dyeing affinity for acrylic fibers. Compounds with isolated nitrogen atoms in the trimethine chain show insufficient light fastness, whereas good to excellent fastness to light is displayed by compounds having neighboring nitrogen atoms in the chain. Thus, a working hypothesis stating that the light fastness of trimethinecyanines on acrylic fibers is improved by progressive replacement of methine groups by nitrogen atoms has been partially confirmed.
