    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous avons examiné au microscope électronique les îlots de Langerhans de 15 hamsters chinois dont 7 étaient diabétiques et 8 étaient non-diabétiques, provenant soit des mêmes nichées, soit sans lien de parenté, mais concordant quant au sexe et à l'âge. Chez les animaux de contrôle, les cellulesβ prédominent et sont riches en granules, formés de vésicules de différentes tailles avec un contenu légèrement granulaire ou homogène. Dans de rares vésicules, on observe un noyau dense ou une barre centrale irrégulière et dense. Les granulations des cellulesα sont uniformément rondes, très denses et limitées par des membranes; elles sont assez clairsemées à l'exception de la périphérie des îlots. Au début du diabète, les cellulesβ sont abondantes mais, soit dégranulées, soit en voie d'infiltration glycogénique. Plus tardivement dans la maladie, les îlots ne contiennent presque que des cellulesα, les cellulesβ ayant graduellement disparu.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Langerhans'schen Inseln von 15 chinesischen Hamstern (7 diabetischen und 8 entweder verwandten oder nicht verwandten Kontrolltieren gleichen Geschlechts und Alters) wurden elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. In den Kontrolltieren überwiegen dieβ-Zellen die reich an Granula sind. Die meisten davon sind Bläschen verschiedener Größe mit einem blassen, körnigen oder homogenen Inhalt. Nur einige weisen einen dichten zentralen Kern auf oder einen unregelmäßigen dichten zentralgelegenen Stab. Dieα-Zellen haben einheitlich runde und dichte, durch eine Membrane begrenzte Granula und sind spärlich verteilt, außer an der Peripherie der Inseln. Im frühen Diabetes mellitus sind dieβ-Zellen in großer Zahl vorhanden aber erscheinen entweder degranuliert oder in verschiedenen Phasen der Glykogenablagerung. In späteren Stadien der Krankheit, als Folge des allmählichen Verschwindens derβ-Zellen, bestehen die Inseln fast nur noch ausα-Zellen.
    Notes: Summary Islets of Langerhans of 15 Chinese hamsters (7 diabetic and 8 either related or unrelated controls of the same sex and age) have been examined by electron microscopy. Beta cells of control animals predominate and have abundant granules most of which are vesicles of varying sizes with a pale granular or homogeneous content. Only a few have a dense central core or irregular dense central bar. Alpha cells have uniformly round, dense, membrane-limited granules and are sparse except at the periphery of the islet. Early in diabetes mellitus beta cells are abundant but either agranular or in various stages of glycogen storage. Late in the disease the islets are reduced to almost all alpha cells, the beta cells having gradually disappeared.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous avons étudié 3 groupes de hamsters chinois de la colonie des laboratoires Upjohn, soit (1) des animaux diabétiques ayant présenté des symptômes pendant 18 mois; (2) des animaux non-diabétiques des mêmes nichées; et (3) des animaux non-diabétiques et non-apparentés mais concordant par l'âge et le sexe. Le diabète spontané de ces animaux est caractérisé par une hyperglycémie, une glucosurie, une diminution du volume des îlots de Langerhans, une diminution du volume total des cellulesβ, une dégranulation des cellulesβ et l'infiltration en glycogène des îlots de Langerhans. Des anomalies de même type, mais moins marquées ont été observées chez les frères et soeurs des animaux diabétiques. A notre connaissance, c'est là la première description de la diminution de la masse des cellulesβ et de leur dégranulation avant l'apparition clinique d'un diabète spontané chez l'homme ou l'animal. Il en ressortirait que cette altération des cellulesβ pourrait bien être un mécanisme étiologique primaire de la pathogénèse du diabète spontané du hamster chinois.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Drei Gruppen von chinesischen Hamstern aus der Upjohn-Zucht wurden untersucht. Dazu gehörten: diabetische Tiere, die seit 18 Monaten Symptome aufwiesen, nichtdiabetische Tiere aus gleichem Wurf und nichtverwandte nichtdiabetische Tiere, die in Alter und Geschlecht den anderen entsprachen. Der Spontandiabetes zeichnet sich aus durch Hyperglykämie, Glykosurie, Abnahme des Inselvolumens, Verminderung derβ-Zellmasse, Degranulierung derβ-Zellen und Glykogeninfiltration der Inseln. In den nichtdiabetischen Geschwistertieren wurden ähnliche aber weniger markante Veränderungen festgestellt. Unseres Wissens ist dies der erste Bericht einer Verringerung derβ-Zellmasse mit Degranulierung noch ehe sich ein Spontandiabetes bei Mensch oder Tier manifestiert. Dies deutet darauf daß diese Veränderungen derβ-Zellen einen primären etiologischen Faktor bei der Entstehung des Spontandiabetes beim chinesischen Hamster darstellen könnten.
    Notes: Summary Three groups of Chinese hamsters bred at the Upjohn Laboratory were studied: these included diabetic animals in which symptoms were present for 18 months, non-diabetic siblings and non-related, non-diabetic animals of the corresponding age and sex. The spontaneous diabetes is characterized by hyperglycemia, glycosuria, decreased islet volume, decreased beta cell mass, beta cell degranulation and glycogen infiltration in the islets. In the non-diabetic siblings, similar but less marked changes were noted. To our knowledge this is the first reported observation of decreased beta cell mass and beta cell degranulation occurring prior to clinical onset of spontaneous diabetes in man or animal. It suggests that the observed alteration of beta cells is a primary etiologic mechanism in the production of spontaneous diabetes in the Chinese hamster.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Plusieurs chercheurs ont utilisé les hamsters chinois de notre colonie pour leurs observations expérimentales et nous rapportons ici les résultats de plusieurs études. — Le groupe du Dr. H.R.Hautsler, initiateur de la colonie à Toronto, a étudié les altérations de la rétine chez les animaux présentant un diabète spontané ou un diabète de type métahypophysaire résultant de l'injection d'hormone de croissance et de cortisone. Des anévrismes artériolaires et capillaires sont observés chez quelque 30% des animaux avec diabète métahypophysaire, mais sporadiquement seulement chez les hamsters avec diabète spontané. — Le groupe du Dr. K.Schöffling a étudié les biopsies du tissu testiculaire. Proportionnellement à la gravité du diabète, on trouve chez les hamsters présentant un diabète spontané une inhibition de la spermatogénèse, avec réduction de lépaisseur de l'epithélium germmal et élargissement de la lumière des tubules séminifères. Les cellules de Leydig sont également réduites en nombre. L'apparence histologique ressemble à celle du tissu testiculaire de diabétiques humains. — Le groupe du Dr. J.Campbell a mesuré les taux d'acides gras libres (AGL) du sérum de hamsters chinois non-diabétiques. Ceux-ci dépassant de 4 à 9 fois (3 à 5 mEq/l) les taux observés chez le chien, le rat ou l'homme, des taux semblables ayant pourtant été mesurés chez le hamster doré. Le tissu adipeux épididymaire de hamsters chinois ne diffère pas de celui du rat par son contenu en lipides, mais il libère davantage de AGL dans le milieu d'incubation. Les hamsters chinois non-glucosuriques sont sensibles à l'action diabétogène de la cortisone, mais non pas à celle de l'hormone de croissance de mouton. La cortisone s'est montrée très active quant à son action hyperglycémique, accompagnée d'une élévation des taux d'insuline sérique et des taux d'AGL. — Dans notre propre laboratoire, nous avons mesuré les concentrations en glycoprotéines du plasma et le contenu en mucopolysaccharides de la peau de hamsters non-diabétiques, avec glycosurie intermittente, ou franchement diabétiques. Nous n'avons pas observé, de différences entre ces trois groupes d'animaux quant au profil immuno-électrophorétique, ou la concentration en composantes hydrocarbonées des protéines plasmatiques. La substance basale de la peau de hamster diabétique contient davantage de mucopolysaccharides que celle des animaux non-diabétiques du même âge. C'est ainsi que le contenu en acides uroniques de la peau d'un groupe de hamsters, avec un sucre sanguin à jeun de 60 mg% en moyenne, était de 579 μg par g de tissu sec, alors qu'il était de de 882μg pour un groupe d'animaux avec un sucre sanguin à jeun de 107 mg% en moyenne.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Mehrere Forscher haben mit Tieren aus unserer Kolonie gearbeitet, und dieser Bericht betrifft eine Reihe von verschiedenen Resultaten. — Dr. H.R.Hausler und Mitarbeiter haben die Kolonie in Toronto begonnen und sich hauptsächlich mit Veränderungen in der Retina von spontandiabetischen Tieren befaßt. Sie haben ebenfalls Beobachtungen gemacht bei Tieren mit Diabetes von metahypophysärem Typ, also nach Injektion von Somatotropin und Cortison. Aneurysmata der Arteriolen und Kapillaren wurden in etwa 30% der Tiere mit metahypophysärem Diabetes beobachtet, nur vereinzelt aber bei spontandiabetischen Hamstern. — Dr. K.Schöffling und Mitarbeiter haben die Veränderungen in Hodenbiopsien geprüft. In direktem Zusammenhang mit der Schwere des Diabetes findet man bei spontandiabetischen Hamstern verschieden ausgeprägte Hinweise auf inhibierte Spermatogenese, mit Verminderung der Zellzahl des germinalen Epitheliums und Erweiterung der Lumina der Tubuli seminiferi. Auch die Zahl der Leydig-Zellen ist vermindert, und das histologische Bild ist allgemein demjenigen beim Diabetiker ähnlich. — Dr. J.Campbell und Mitarbeiter haben bei nicht-diabetischen chinesischen Hamstern freie Fettsäuren (FFS) gemessen und haben beobachtet, daß deren Konzentration im Serum 4 bis 9 mal höher liegt (3 bis 5 mVa/l) als beim Hund, bei der Ratte und beim Menschen. Ähnlich erhöhte Werte findet man aber auch beim Goldhamster. Epididymales Fettgewebe von Ratten und chinesischen Hamstern enthielt etwa gleich viel Fett, aber das Fettgewebe chinesischer Hamster mobilisiertein vitro mehr FFS. Bei nichtdiabetischen Hamstern war Cortison diabetogen, nicht aber Somatotropin vom Schaf. Die Verabreichung von Cortison führte zu erhöhten Zuckerwerten, zu erhöhtem Seruminsulin und zu sehr hohen FFS-Konzentrationen. — In unserem eigenen Laboratorium haben wir den Gehalt an Glucoproteinen im Plasma und an Mucopolysacchariden in der Haut bestimmt, und zwar in nicht-diabetischen, in nur zeitweise glucosurischen, und in klinisch deutlich diabetischen Hamstern. Zwischen diesen drei Gruppen von Tieren ließen sich keine Unterschiede bezüglich auf immunoelektrophoretische Verteilung oder auf Zuckergehalt einzelner Komponenten der Plasmabestandteile nachweisen. Die Haut diabetischer Hamster enthielt aber mehr Mucopolysaccharide als diejenige nicht-diabetischer Hamster gleichen Alters. Hamster, deren Nüchternblutzuckerwerte bei 60mg% lagen, wiesen einen Uronsäuregehalt von 579 μg per g Trockengewebe auf, während der entsprechende Wert bei Tieren mit durchschnittlich 107 mg% Blutzuckernüchternwert 822μg war.
    Notes: Summary Several investigators have used Chinese hamsters from our colony for experimental work, and results of various studies are reported. — The group of Dr. H.R.Hausler, who initiated the colony in Toronto, studied retinal changes in spontaneously diabetic animals and also in hamsters with the metahypophyseal type of diabetes, following serial injections of growth hormone and cortisone. Arteriolar and capillary aneurysms were found in about 30% of the animals with metahypophyseal diabetes, but only sporadically in spontaneously diabetic hamsters. — The group of Dr. K.Schöffling studied alterations of testicular tissue in biopsy material. Corresponding to the severity of the disease, spontaneously diabetic hamsters showed various degrees of inhibited spermatogenesis, resulting in a reduction of the thickness of the germinal epithelium and widening of the lumina of the seminiferous tubules. There was also a reduction in the number of Leydig cells. The overall histological picture resembled that of the testes of the diabetic human patient. — The group of Dr. J.Campbell measured concentrations of serum free fatty acids (FFA) in nondiabetic Chinese hamsters and found the levels 4 to 9 times higher (3 to 5mEq/l) than in dogs, rats and man, but similar to FFA levels of Syrian hamsters.Epididymal fat pads of rats and Chinese hamsters showed similar lipid contents, but the latter released more FFA into the incubation medium. Nonglycosuric hamsters were susceptible to the diabetogenic effect of cortisone, but not to ovine growth hormone. Cortisone was most effective in producing a high blood sugar and elevated serum insulin and FFA concentrations. — In our own laboratory, the concentration of glycoproteins in plasma and the mucopolysaccharide content of the skin were determined in nondiabetic, occasionally glycosuric and frankly diabetic hamsters. There was no difference amongst the three groups of animals with regard to either the immunoelectrophoretic pattern or the concentration of individual carbohydrate components of plasma proteins. Skins of diabetic hamsters contained more mucopolysaccharide in their ground substance than skins of nondiabetic animals of comparable age. Hamsters with a mean fasting blood sugar value of 60 mg% showed a uronic acid content of 579μg per g of dry tissue, whereas animals with a mean fasting blood sugar of 107 mg% had 822μg.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé 1. Nous avons analysé les pedigrees et les estimations de glucosurie (Tes-Tape) de plus de 6000 hamsters chinois de la colonie du Best Institute à Toronto et de celle de la maison Upjohn à Kalamazoo. A Toronto, la distribution des estimations au Tes-Tape était de 23%+, de 6%++, 3%+++, et de 5%++++. L'incidence du diabète a augmenté durant les 11 premières générations de consanguinité, elle a légèrement diminué par la suite L'incidence du diabète est plus grande dans la colonie Upjohn, les nichées étant plus petites et le nombre des morts avant sevrage plus grand. Lorsqu'un ou deux parents sont diabétiques, 40% des rejetons ne survivent pas; 14% seulement, lorsque les deux parents ne sont pas diabétiques. Par rapport à tout autre type d'accouplement, les parents non-diabétiques donnent naissance à un nombre légèrement moindre de diabétiques et nettement moindre d'animaux à faible glucosurie. — 2. Nous concluons de ces données que le diabète du hamster chinois est héréditaire mais qu'aucun système simple de transmission n'est à même de cadrer avec elles. C'est pourquoi nous proposons un système composé d'un minimum de 4 gènes dont la coïncidence de deux en homozygocité récessive mène à un diabète patent. Le nombre des possibilités données par un système récessif quadruple associé à la moindre capacité de survie des diabétiques permet de prévoir que le croisement diabétique x diabétique ne produira des diabétiques qu'une fois sur 6. — 3. Les polygènes agissent sur divers systèmes physiologiques et non pas sur un gène diabétique »caché«. Le syndrome diabétique est le résultat de l'action de ces gènes sur la production d'enzymes, la prolifération des cellules, la perméabilité des membranes et le métabolisme de différents tissus. Aussi nous ne devrions pas nous attendre à ce que tous les hamsters diabétiques se ressemblent et soient caractérisés, par exemple, par une rétinopathie ou une hydronéphrose, mais une plus grande fréquence de manifestations semblables est probable pour chaque lignée.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung 1. Von über 6000 Hamstern der Kolonie des Best Instituts in Toronto und der Upjohn-Kolonie in Kalamazoo wurden die Stammbäume und Tes-Tape-Ergebnisse geprüft. Dabei ergab sich, daß in der Best'schen Kolonie mit Tes-Tape 23%+, 6%++, 3%+++ und 5%++++ reagierten. Während der ersten 11 Generationen Inzucht stieg das Vorkommen von Diabetes an und fiel danach leicht ab. In der Upjohn-Kolonie, wo das Auftreten von Diabetes häufiger war, waren die Würfe kleiner und die Sterbeziffer unter den noch nicht entwöhnten Jungen höher. Wenn einer oder beide Elternteile diabetisch waren, starben 40% der Jungen im Gegenteil zu 14% bei anderen Paaren. Normale Eltern hatten im allgemeinen weniger diabetische Junge, und die Zahl der Tiere, die nur Spuren Glucose im Urin aufwiesen, war wesentlich geringer als bei anderen Paarungstypen. — 2. Daraus wurde geschlossen, daß Diabetes beim chinesischen Hamster zwar erblich ist, daß die Ergebnisse aber nicht in ein einfaches Vererbungsschema einzugliedern sind. Es wird ein polygenetisches System vorgeschlagen, mit mindestens 4 Genen, von denen jeweils die Homozygotie von zwei Diabetes hervorruft. Wegen der Möglichkeiten, die sich aus den 4 rezessiven Genen ergeben, sowie wegen der geringeren Überlebenskraft der zu Diabetes Prädisponierten, erzeugt eine Paarung von 2 Diabetikern nur in einem Fall von sechs ebenfalls einen Diabetes. — 3. Die Polygene wirken auf verschiedene physiologische Systeme und nicht auf ein „ruhendes“ diabetisches Gen. Das diabetische Syndrom ist das Ergebnis der Wirkung dieser Gene auf Enzymproduktion. Zellwachstum, Membrandurchlässigkeit und allgemeinen Stoffwechsel in den verschiedenen Geweben. Daher ist nicht zu erwarten, daß alle diabetische Hamster Retinopathie oder Hydronephrose aufweisen, jedoch ist zu erwarten, daß die gleichen Erscheinungsmerkmale innerhalb eines Zuchtstammes gehäuft auftreten.
    Notes: Summary 1. The pedigrees and Tes-tape scores of over 6000 hamsters in the Best colony in Toronto and the Upjohn Colony in Kalamazoo were examined. It was found that the distribution of Tes-tape scores in the Best colony was 23%+, 6%++, 3%+++, and 5%++++. The incidence of diabetes rose for the first eleven generations of inbreeding then fell off slightly. In the Upjohn colony, which had a higher incidence of diabetes, the litter sizes were smaller and the pre-weaning deaths greater. When one or both of the parents were diabetic 40% of the young died as opposed to 14% for other matings. Non-diabetic parents produced slightly less diabetics and significantly less trace animals than did any other type of mating. — 2. It was concluded that diabetes is inherited but that no simple system of inheritance will fit the data. A polygenic system is postulated with a minimum of four genes any two of which when homozygus recessive will cause diabetes. Because of the variety of the quadruple recessive and the lower viability of diabetics, the mating diabetic x diabetic will breed true one mating in six. — 3. The polygenes act on various physiological systems and not on a “dormant” diabetic gene. The diabetic syndrome is the result of the action of these genes on enzyme production, cell proliferation, membrane permeability, and general metabolism, in various parts of the body. Thus one would not expect all diabetic hamsters to exhibit retinopathy or hydronephrosis, but one would expect predominantly the same manifestations within the same subline.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous avons étudié cliniquement le diabète héréditaire du hamster chinois, et, en particulier, nous avons pu suivre 79 animaux pendant des périodes prolongées. Le diabète chez ce hamster est variable quant à sa sévérité et quant à son évolution clinique. Par plusieurs aspects il ressemble au diabète humain, mais il s'en différencie par l'énorme volume urinaire, la fréquence du diabète léger même chez les animaux jeunes, une résistance relative à l'insuline, et une capacité extraordinaire de compensation pour les pertes de liquide et de glucose dans l'urine. Ces différences sont si marquées qu'elles suggèrent l'existence de différences fondamentales entre le métabolisme du hamster chinois et celui de l'homme. Bien que certaines différences aient pu être démontrées dans le métabolisme du glucose et de la leucine entre l'animal diabétique et l'animal normal, la signification statistique de ces différences reste à établir.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Eine klinische Untersuchung des hereditären Diabetes im chinesischen Hamster hat ergeben, daß große Schwankungen in bezug auf die Schwere und den Verlauf der Stoffwechselstörung bestehen. Verschiedene Merkmale der Krankheit in diesem Tier ähneln dem menschlichen Diabetes, während andere Aspekte, wie z.B. Urinmenge und Glykosurie, oder die beträchtliche Anzahl der Tiere mit leichtem jugendlichen Diabetes, der hohe Insulinbedarf und die Fähigkeit größere Urinund Glucoseverluste auszugleichen, darauf hinweisen, daß diese Widersprüche artbedingt sein könnten.In vivo undin vitro durchgeführte Stoffwechselstudien mit Glucose und Leuzin scheinen im normalen und diabetischen Tier leicht zu differieren, obgleich dies statistisch nicht zu beweisen war.
    Notes: Summary A clinical study of hereditary diabetes in the Chinese hamster has revealed a great variety in severity and course of the disease. Several aspects of the disease in this animal resemble human diabetes, whereas other parameters, such as gross urine volumes and glycosuria, a considerable number of mild juvenile-onset diabetics, high insulin requirement, and ability to compensate for urine losses of fluids and glucose would indicate that species differences in metabolism may be the cause of these discrepancies. — Metabolismin vivo andin vitro of glucose and leucine appears to be slightly different in the normal and diabetic animal, although statistically this has not been proven.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous avons dépisté le diabète chez le hamster chinois par des dosages qualitatifs de la glucosurie. Nous avons ensuite caractérisé chaque cas par la mesure quantitative du glucose urinaire, par des surcharges au glucose et par le dosage de la glycémie à jeun et non à jeun, des corps cétoniques, des acides gras libres (AGL) plasmatiques, de l'insuline plasmatique et pancréatique, et des taux hépatiques de glycogène. En outre, nous avons mesuré l'utilisation du glucose par le diaphragme et le tissu adipeux épididymaire, avec et sans stimulation par l'insuline. Les animaux nécessitant l'administration d'insuline ont reçu leur dernière injection au moins 24 heures avant chaque étude. Les taux de glucose dans l'urine ont varié entre 51 et 1600 mg par 24 heures. Le test de surcharge au glucose s'est révélé nettement anormal chez les animaux diabétiques, la surcharge étant de 250 mg de glucose par kg de poids. Chez les diabétiques, la glycémie après surcharge est fortement variable, contrairement à l'uniformité de la réponse observée chez les non-diabétiques. Le glycogène hépatique à jeun est de 3, 1±1,0% pour les diabétiques, et de 0,4±0,7% de poids frais d'organes pour les non-diabétiques. Les taux plasmatiques des AGL et des corps cétoniques sont manifestement élevés chez les hamsters chinois diabétiques et cétosiques alors que le contenu en insuline du plasma et du pancréas est abaissé de façon marquée. Ceci n'a pas été observé chez les diabétiques moins sévères qui se rapprochent des non-diabétiques. Les AGL plasmatiques sont élevés chez tous les hamsters chinois (moyenne pour les non-diabétiques 1800μE/l, pour les diabétiques sévères 2800μE/l) Les taux d'AGL sont les mêmes à jeun et non à jeun chez les animaux non-diabétiques ou souffrant d'un diabète léger. L'utilisation du glucose par le muscle et le tissu adipeux du hamster diabétique ne diffère pas significativement de celle des tissus non-diabétiques et leur stimulation par l'insuline est semblable. L'insuline immunoréactive des hamsters traités à l'insuline reste élevée dans le plasma pendant plus de 26 jours après la dernière injection. — Ces observations semblent indiquer que le pancréas des hamsters chinois diabétiques sécrète plus difficilement de l'insuline en réponse à une stimulation par le glucose. Les taux normaux d'insuline plasmatique chez les hamsters avec un diabète léger, mais présentant pourtant une nette glucosurie, une hyperglycémie et une réponse anormale à la surcharge en glucose, suggèrent l'existence d'une interférence avec l'action normale de l'insuline et peut-être une augmentation de la production de glucose par le foie.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Beim chinesischen Hamster wurde der Diabetes durch qualitative Urinuntersuchungen auf Glucose aufgespürt. Es wurde dann jeder Fall näher charakterisiert durch quantitative Uringlucosebestimmungen, Glucosebelastungsproben und Messungen von Nüchtern- und Nichtnüchternwerten für Blutzucker, Blutketonkörper, freie Fettsäuren (FFS) und Insulin im Plasma, von Insulin im Pankreas, und von Nüchternwerten für Leberglykogen. Außerdem wurde der Glucoseverbrauch des Zwerchfells und des epididymalen Fettgewebes sowie mit, als auch ohne Insulin gemessen. Diejenigen Tiere, die Insulin erforderten, erhielten ihre letzte Injektion 24 Stunden vor dem Versuch. Glucosurie schwankte zwischen 51 und 1600 mg/24 Std. Bei einer Belastung von 250 mg/kg wiesen die diabetischen Tiere eine wesentlich verminderte Glucosetoleranz auf. Sie sprachen sehr unterschiedlich auf die Glucosebelastung an, während die nichtdiabetischen Tiere in ihrer Reaktion einheitlich waren. — Im Vergleich zu den nichtdiabetischen Hamstern, wo die Mittelwerte für Nüchternleberglykogen bei 0.4±0.7 Prozent des Frischlebergewichtes lagen, hatten die diabetischen Tiere einen Glykogengehalt der Leber von 3.1±1.0 Prozent. — Chinesische Hamster mit schwerem Diabetes haben deutlich erhöhte FFS-Werte und Ketonkörper, sowie einen wesentlich niedrigeren Plasma- und Pankreasinsulinspiegel. Bei Tieren mit leichter Diabetes hingegen sind diese Untersuchungen, im Vergleich zu den Kontrolltieren, unverändert. Alle chinesischen Hamster haben hohe Plasma-FFS-Werte (nichtdiabetische 1800μE/L, schwer diabetische 2800μE/L). Nüchtern- und Nichtnüchternwerte für FSS sind beim leicht diabetischen oder gesunden Tier etwa gleich hoch. Der Glucoseabbau durch Muskel- und Fettgewebe des diabetischen und nichtdiabetischen Hamsters unterscheidet sich nicht sehr, und beide Gruppen sprechen ungefähr gleich stark auf Insulinstimulierung an. Das im Plasma der insulinbehandelten Tiere vorkommende immunreaktive Insulin ist noch 26 Tage nach der letzten Injektion nachweisbar. — Diese Ergebnisse lassen vermuten, daß der Pankreas des diabetischen Hamsters nur schwerlich in der Lage ist, nach einer Glucosestimulierung Insulin auszuschütten. Die Beobachtung, daß der Plasma-Insulinspiegel im leichten Diabetes normal ist, diese Tiere jedoch Glucosurie, Hyperglykämie und abnormale Glucosetoleranz aufweisen, führt zu der Annahme, daß ein leichter Diabetes beim chinesischen Hamster eine Beeinträchtigung der Insulinwirkung mit sich bringen, und Ursache einer vermehrten Glucoseproduktion durch die Leber sein kann.
    Notes: Summary Diabetes in Chinese hamster was initially detected by qualitative tests for urine glucose. The disease was characterized by quantitating urine glucose, glucose tolerance tests and measurement of fasting and nonfasting blood sugar, blood ketones, plasma free fatty acids (FFA), plasma insulin, pancreatic insulin and fasting levels of liver glycogen. In addition, basal levels of glucose utilization by diaphragms and epididymal adipose tissue and the response of these tissues to insulin was measured. Those animals requiring insulin received their last injection 24 hours prior to study. Glucosuria varied from 51 to 1600 mg/24 hours. Diabetics had significantly decreased tolerance to a 250 mg/kg glucose load. The response varied considerably in diabetics but was uniform in the nondiabetics. Diabetics had mean fasting liver glycogen levels of 3.1±1.0 compared with 0.4± 0.7 percent of fresh liver weight for nondiabetics. Severely ketotic, diabetic Chinese hamsters had significantly elevated FFA and ketone levels and significantly lower plasma and pancreatic insulin levels but mild diabetics did not differ from controls with respect to these parameters. All Chinese hamsters had high plasma FFA levels (nondiabetics 1800μE/l, severe diabetics 2800μE/l. Fasting and nonfasting FFA levels did not differ in mild diabetic and nondiabetic animals. Muscle and adipose tissues from diabetic hamsters had basal rates similar to nondiabetics and had similar responses to insulin. Hamsters maintained on insulin had greatly elevated immunoreactive insulin levels in their plasma, which persisted for 26 days. — The data suggest that severely diabetic hamsters may have a decreased ability of the pancreas to secrete insulin in response to a glucose stimulus. The observations that plasma insulin levels are normal in mild diabetics but that these animals have glucosuria, hyperglycemia and abnormal glucose tolerance suggest that mild diabetes in the Chinese hamster may involve interference with insulin action and/or increased hepatic glucose output.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous avons mesuré la sécrétion d'insuline du tissu pancréatiquein vitro en présence de glucose chez 22 hamsters chinois normaux, 6 diabétiques et 8 ayant montré une glucosurie intermittente. Les valeurs obtenues ont été comparées avec l'hyperglycémie et l'insulinémie de ces mêmes animaux avant leur mort. Nous avons observé que la sécrétion insuliniquein vitro était proportionnelle au contenu en insuline du pancréas et au quotient de l'insulinémie divisée par le glucose plasmatique indépendamment de l'état métabolique de l'animal. Pourtant, la sécrétion insuliniquein vitro la plus basse a été observée chez les animaux diabétiques, et la plus élevée chez ceux qui avaient présenté une glucosurie intermittente. La relation possible de ces observations avec les théories actuelles du »pré-diabète« est discutée.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die durch Glucose stimulierte Insulinsekretion wurdein vitro am Pankreasgewebe chinesischer Hamster gemessen und mit den Glucose- und Insulin-Plasmaspiegeln derselben Tierein vivo, sowie mit der Granulierung derer Inselzellen (22 normale, 6 diabetische und 8 zeitweise glykosurischer chinesischer Hamster) verglichen. Es bestand eine direkte Korrelation zwischen Insulinsekretion und Insulingehalt des Pankreas, sowie mit dem Verhältnis Insulin/Glucose im Plasma, ohne Rücksicht auf den Stoffwechsel-Zustand der Tiere. Die niedrigsten Werte wurden allerdings bei den diabetischen Tieren, und die höchstens bei denjenigen mit zeitweiser Glykosurie beobachtet. Die Bedeutung dieser Resultate in bezug auf bestehende Theorien des „Pre Diabetes“ wird diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary Insulin secretion by pancreatic tissuein vitro in response to glucose was related to plasma glucose and plasma insulin levels during life, and to the degree of granulation of the islets of Langerhans in 22 normal, 6 diabetic and 8 intermittently glycosuric Chinese Hamsters. Secretion was directly related to the insulin content of the pancreas and to the ratio of insulin to glucose in plasma, irrespective of the metabolic state of the animal, but was lowest in diabetic animals and highest in those with intermittent glycosuria. The relevance of these findings to current theories concerning “prediabetes” is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous avons étudié le foie, le diaphragme, le coeur, le rein et le tissu adipeux de 5 hamsters chinois avec diabète plus ou moins sévère, en incubant ce tissuin vitro avec du glucose uniformément marqué au14C, ou marqué en positions 1-, 2-, ou 6-, avec du pyruvate-2-14C, ou avec du bicarbonate-14C, diversement combinés. Nous avons également examiné au microscope électronique le pancréas et le rein de ces animaux. Nous n'avons pas trouvé d'indication histologique d'hypertrophie des îlots pancréatiques, le contenu en insuline du pancréas étant diminué et l'insuline plasmatique relativement diminuée également. Nous n'avons pas non plus trouvé régulièrement une microangiopathie des capillaires des îlots. Lefoie de hamsters diabétiques de type sévère ou léger incorpore moins les carbones du glucose et du pyruvate dans le CO2, le glycogène et les acides gras. De même, lemuscle des animaux avec un diabète sévère oxyde moins de glucose en CO2. Par contre, letissu adipeux des animaux diabétiques ne se distingue pas de celui d'animaux normaux, peut-être à l'exception d'une diminution d'activité du cycle des pentoses. Letissu rénal des hamsters diabétiques incorpore moins de carbbone-2 du pyruvate dans le CO2, mais son comportement est par ailleurs normal. Une réponse à l'insuline a été observéein vitro tant pour le muscle que pour le tissu adipeux, alors que les concentrations d'insuline employées étaient élevées. Malgré le petit nombre de hamsters étudiés, il est permis de conclure que ces altérations sont comparables à celles déjà observées chez des rats souffrant d'une carence insulinique chronique expérimentale. Bien qu'il ne soit pas possible d'exclure qu'il y ait eu une première phase transitoire et non détectée, caractérisée par une hypersécrétion insulinique, nous pensons plutôt que nos observations dans ce petit groupe d'animaux diabétiques sont apparentées à celles faites préalablement chez des rats avec déficience chronique en insuline induite expérimentalement.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Leber, Zwerchfell, Herz, Niere und Fettgewebe von 5 chinesischen Hamstern mit Diabetes verschiedenen Schweregrades wurdenin vitro inkubiert. Glucose-U, 1-, 2-, oder 6-14C, Pyruvat-2-14C und Bicarbonat-14C wurden in verschiedenen Kombinationen als Substrat verwandt. Pankreas und Niere wurden elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Eine Hypertrohpie der Pankreasinseln war histologisch nicht nachweisbar. Extrahierbares Insulin war vermindert und Plasma-Insulinwerte verhältnismäßig niedrig. Eine regelmäßige Mikroangiopathie der Inselkapillaren konnte nicht beobachtet werden. Sowohl die leicht- als auch die schwer-diabetischen Hamster zeigten einen verminderten Einbau von Glucose- sowie von Pyruvat-Kohlenstoff in CO2, Glykogen und Fettsäuren durch dieLeber. Eine herabgesetzte Oxydation von Glucose zu CO2 durch denMuskel war zumindest in schwer-diabetischen Tieren nachweisbar. Der Stoffwechsel desFettgewebes war durch den Diabetes nicht beeinflußt; die Aktivität des Pentosezyklus war möglicherweise herabgesetzt. DasNierengewebe des diabetischen Hamsters zeigte einen geringeren Einbau vom C-2 des Pyruvats in CO2, jedoch konnten sonst keine biochemischen Veränderungen festgestellt werden. Muskel- und Fettegewebe sprachen imin vitro Versuch auf relativ hohe Insulinkonzentrationen gut an. Die Resultate, die wir aus den Untersuchungen einer begrenzten Anzahl von Hamstern erhielten, entsprechen somit früheren Beobachtungen bei Ratten mit experimentell bedingtem chronischen Insulinmangel. Es besteht allerdings die Möglickeit, daß uns eine vorübergehende frühere Phase mit Hypersekretion von Insulin unbemerkt entging.
    Notes: Summary Liver, diaphragm, heart, kidney, and adipose tissue of five Chinese hamsters with diabetes of varying severity have been studied by incubationin vitro with glucose-U-, 1-, 2-, or 6-14C, pyruvate-2-14C, and bicarbonate-14C in various combinations. The pancreas and kidney were examined by electron microscopy. There was no histologic evidence of hypertrophy of the pancreatic islets; extractable insulin was reduced, and plasma insulin was relatively reduced. There was no consistent microangiopathy of insular capillaries. Both the mild and severely diabetic hamsters had a reduction in the incorporation of the carbons of glucose and of pyruvate into CO2, glycogen, and fatty acids in theliver, and, at least in severely diabetic animals, of oxidation of glucose to CO2 in muscle. There was no change consequent to diabetes in the metabolism ofadipose tissue, except for a possible decrease in pentose cycle activity. Thekidneys of the diabetic hamsters had less incorporation of carbon-2 of pyruvate into CO2, but otherwise no biochemical changes were evident. Both muscle and adipose tissue were responsivein vitro to insulin when tested with greater physiologic amounts. While the possibility cannot be excluded that a transient earlier phase with hypersecretion of insulin escaped detection, the changes in this limited number of diabetic hamsters parallel those previously found in rats with experimental chronic deficiency of insulin.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous avons étudié aux microscopes optique et électronique les glomérules rénaux de 11 hamsters chinois non-diabétiques, de 4 hamsters non-diabétiques mais provenant de nichées comportant des animaux diabétiques, et de 6 animaux ayant souffert d'un diabète de durée et de sévérité variables. Le vieillissement en soi est associé à une augmentation du mésangium et à une dilatation des capillaires avec léger épaississement de la membrane basale. Chez les diabétiques sévères de type juvénile, nous avons observé des altérations profondes des cellules mésangiales, avec la formation de vésicules, de corps multivésiculaires, de vacuoles et une apparence lavée du cytoplasme avec désorganisation mitochondriale. Ce n'est qu'aux stades les plus avancés qu'on observe une augmentation de la matrice mésangiale. Aux premiers stades, les membranes basales sont minces, particulièrement pour les capillaires dilatés. A des stades plus avancés, on trouve des régions épaisses et des régions minces de la membrane basale; certainement pas d'épaississement généralisé. Bien que des altérations semblables eussent été observées avec le vieillissement simple, les altérations des cellules mésangiales, la coalescence, la dilatation cystique et la fusion des anses capillaires des glomérules sont caractéristiques d'une glomérulopathie diabétique chez les animaux jeunes. Les altérations sont beaucoup plus marquées à des stades plus avancés de l'état diabétique. La diminution du nombre des anses capillaires est probablement le résultat de la coalescence des capillaires. Les cellules épithéliales sont bien préservées dans tous les glomérules et il n'y a pas de lésions nodulaires. Nous n'avons pas observé de lésions glomérulaires semblables chez les frères et soeurs des animaux diabétiques ne souffrant pas eux-mêmes d'un diabète patent. Il semblerait y avoir une analogie entre la dilatation et la coalescence des capillaires du glomérule en présence d'altérations des cellules mésangiales et la dilatation des capillaires rétiniens associée à la dégénérescence des cellules murales, ou péricytes, chez l'homme.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Wir haben im Licht- und im Elektronen-Mikroskop die renalen Glomeruli von 11 Kontrolltieren, von 4 nicht-diabetischen Tieren aus gleichem Wurf wie diabetische Hamster, und von 6 Tieren mit Spontan-Diabetes verschiedenen Alters, sowie mit unterschiedlicher Dauer und Schwere des Krankheitsbildes, untersucht. Zunehmendes Alter führte zur Zunahme der mesangialen Matrix mit einiger Erweiterung der Kapillaren und Verdickung der Basalmembran. Bei früh einsetzendem schweren Diabetes wurden schwere Veränderungen der Mesangialzellen beobachtet, bestehend aus Vermehrung der vesikulären Bläschen, Entstehung von multi-vesikulären Strukturen, Vacuolen, und einem verwaschenen Aussehen des Zytoplasmas, sowie mitochondrialer Desorganisation. Bei vorgerücktem Krankheitsbild bestand eine deutliche Zunahme der mesangialen Matrix. Anfänglich war die Basalmembran dünn, besonders in den erweiterten Kapillaren. Später, wies die Basalmembran sowohl verdickte wie verdünnte Stellen auf. Obwohl ähnliche Veränderungen auch mit zunehmendem Alter zu sehen waren, ließ die Beobachtung von Veränderungen der mesangialen Zellen, von zystischer Erweiterung und Verschmelzen von Kapillarschlingen beijungen Hamstern sicher auf diabetische Glomerulopathie schließen. Diese Veränderungen waren denn auch verhältnismäßig noch deutlicher und besonders charakteristisch in späteren Stadien der Krankheit. Die Fusion von Kapillaren erklärt vielleicht die Abnahme der Zahl der Kapillarschlingen. Die Ausläufer der Epithelialzellen blieben in allen Glomeruli wohl erhalten und es waren keine noduläre Läsionen zu sehen. In den von uns beobachteten Tieren waren solche Veränderungen der Glomeruli bei nicht-diabetischen Tieren nicht zu sehen. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, daß zwischen der Erweiterung und der Fusion von Kapillarschlingen, im Zusammenhang mit Veränderung der mesangialen Zellen, und der Erweiterung von Kapillaren der Netzhaut, im Zusammenhang mit Degeneration deren Perizyten beim Menschen, eine Analogie besteht.
    Notes: Summary Light and electron microscopic studies were made of the renal glomeruli of 11 control Chinese hamsters, 4 siblings of diabetic hamsters, and 6 with spontaneous diabetes of varying age of onset, duration, and severity. Aging alone was associated with an increase in mesangial matrix and some degree of capillary dilatation and thickening of the basement membrane. In severe diabetes of early-onset, there was a marked change in mesangial cells, consisting of an increase in vesicles, multivesicular bodies, vacuoles, ghost-like appearance of the cytoplasm, and mitochondrial disorganization. Only in the more advanced stages was there an increase in the mesangial matrix. Initially, the basement membrane was thin, particularly in dilated capillaries. Measurements of the basement membrane in the later stages indicated that there were both thick and thin areas; increased thickness alone was not characteristic. Although similar findings developed progressively with age, mesangial cell alterations, coalescence and cystic dilatation and fusion of capillary loops in the glomeruli of young hamsters were characteristic findings of diabetic glomerulopathy. These findings were characteristic and disproportionately marked in any later stage of the disease. Coalescence of capillaries may have explained the decrease in the number of loops. The foot processes of the epithelial cells were well-preserved in all glomeruli and nodular lesions were not seen. There was no evidence in this series that litter-mates of diabetic animals developed such glomerular lesions in the absence of overt diabetes. An analogy was suggested between the dilatation and coalescence of glomerular capillaries associated with mesangial cell changes and the dilatation of retinal capillaries associated with degeneration of the supporting mural cells in man.

    Notes: Complexes of aluminum alkyls with Lewis bases catalyze the polymerization of vinyl chloride. Triethylaluminum is most effective, but other compounds of type R3Al, R2AlCl, R2AlH, and LiAIR4 are operable. Dialkylmagnesiums are active, but Grignard reagents, as well as a number of other metal alkyls are inactive. Among Lewis bases, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and tetrahydropyran give the best yields of poly(vinyl chloride). Oxygen bases, such as ethers and esters, are more effective than nitrogen bases, e.g., tertiary amines. Cyclic compounds are better than acyclic ones. The polymerization occurs in a variety of hydrocarbon, chlorinated hydrocarbon, or ether solvents, but especially well in CCl4. Radical polymerization is probably initiated through the reaction R3Al:Base + CCl4 → R2AlCl: Base + R + Cl3C., to form trichloromethyl radical.

    Notes: Copolymerization of unsaturated polyester with styrene in water-in-oil (W/O) type emulsion was carried out with the use of various basic compounds as emulsifiers. It was found that a stable, gellike W/O type emulsion of unsaturated polyester resin is formed only when pKa's of the bases are above 6 and their concentrations are higher than some critical value. In these conditions, water can be dispersed in emulsion up to 900% to the resin. By polymerization, the stable W/O type emulsion is transformed to a white solid copolymer which is dry to the touch and which contains 90-95% of initially added water. It was confirmed that the basic compounds react with the carboxylic group of the polyester to form at the water-resin interface polyester salts, which act as true emulsifying agents. The stabilization mechanism of the emulsion at various concentrations of the polyester salt was investigated, mainly by microscopic observations, and an interpretation of the critical value of emulsifier concentration is proposed.

    Notes: Certain homopolymer-polyol mixtures, after treatment with a free-radical generating agent or ionizing radiation, will produce polyurethane elastomers of nearly twice the stiffness and tensile properties compared to control elastomers made with untreated mixtures. Specific examples of these mixtures include the homopolymers of acrylonitrile and vinyl chloride with a poly(oxypropyl) triol of about 3000 molecular weight as the polyol in each case. The marked improvement in the stiffness and tensile properties of elastomers made with the treated mixtures over those of the untreated controls indicates a grafting process occurring between the polyol and homopolymer upon the generation of free radicals. In the present work, grafting could occur by a chain-transfer hydrogen-abstraction mechanism, whereby a free-radical site is generated on both the homopolymer and polyol chains. Coupling of these two free-radical sites would thus result in the establishment of a polymer-polyol graft bond.

    Notes: Graft copolymerization of vinyl monomers, mainly methyl methacrylate, in reduced, successively alkylated, or KCN-Treated wool fibers was performed in the redox LiBr-persulfate system without homopolymer. The reduction gives a striking effect in promoting the graft copolymerization. Methylation or ethylene recrosslinking of the reduced wool, especially the former, decreases the graft-on remarkably. By the KCN treatment in which the conversion of disulfide to lanthionine bonds occurs, the grafting is decreased in the bromide-persulfate system but promoted in the system with persulfate alone. Methylation or KCN treatment of wool as well as reduction brings about a great increase in the absorption of persulfate. The grafting of the lanthionine-containing wool in the redox system accompanied by the liberation of bromine might be retarded by the pronounced bromination of monomers over the inhibiting of homopolymerization, because the lanthionine bonds are more stable to bromine than the disulfide bonds. In general, disulfide bonds and the other easily oxidized components of wool may perhaps play an important role in regulating the bromination of monomers and in the graft copolymerization without homopolymer. The molecular weight of graft polymer is decreased distinctly with increasing extent of reduction of wool. From these results, the thiol groups on wool are considered to give predominantly graft centers by the radicalotropy from SO4-·, OH·, and/or Br·.

    Notes: Previous studies by Black and Blomquist on the degradative failure of polymer-metal adhesive bonds have shown that composite failure depends largely on the type of metal substrate employed. In the work reported herein, metal powders of high surface area have been employed to maximize the metal-polymer interface. The composite systems studied consisted for aluminum and iron with polycondensates of bisphenol A-diglycidyl ether, phenol-formaldehyde and poly-2,2′-(m-phenylene)-5,5′-bibenimidazole. The composites were prepared in the absence of air and thermally degraded in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer while the degradation products were continuously monitored from mass 1 to 200. In the polymer and polymer-metal systems investigated, iron accelerated the decomposition of all polymers studied. This was determined by plotting m/e against degradation temperature for the more common mass peaks such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide for the carbon-hydrogen-oxygen-containing polymer and hydrogen cyanide and ammonia for the carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen-containing polymer. This technique offers promise in determining the nature of the interface as well as the effect of the interface on polymer degradation.

    Notes: A study was made of the influence of selected chain modifiers on both the molecular weight of grafted polyacrylonitrile and the grafting frequency of the starch-polyacrylo-nitrile graft copolymer. Gelatinized wheat starch was used with ceric ammonium nitrate as the initiator. The organic chain modifiers investigated were ethyl mercaptan, 1-dodecanethiol, methyl ethyl ketone, acetaldehyde, and chloroform. Sodium chromate, cupric bromide, cupric nitrate, cupric acetate, and cupric chloride were also tested as chain modifiers. In the presence of cupric chloride, there was a tenfold reduction in the molecular weight of grafted polyacrylonitrile; however, fewer chains were grafted to the starch backbone than were observed without cupric chloride.

    Notes: The supermolecular structure of mixtures of crystalline polymers (low pressure and high pressure polyethylene, isotactic polypropylene) with an amorphous polymer (atactic polypropylene) from the point of view of the influence of the amorphous component on the morphology of the crystalline component has been investigated. The criterion of changes in the morphological state of larger supermolecular formations was the microscopic image of the samples obtained with an optical microscope, both between crossed nicols and in phase contrast. It has been established that the formation of typical spherulites depends on the amount of admixture of the amorphous polymer and also on the treatment of the samples. Upon crystallization in presence of a small amount of solvent (p-xylene), formation of typical spherulites of the crystalline component of the mixture can be observed while the same mixture in case of evaporation of the solvent presents a granulated refractive structure without typical spherulites, regardless of the rate of cooling. The probable role of the solvent is to facilitate mutual segregation of the microphases of both polymers in consequence of decrease in viscosity of the mixture. It has been further shown that even after briefly heating the mixture to a temperature of 220°C., before crystallization, spherulites do not form; on the contrary, spherulites originally present disappear and a structure consisting of smaller refractive formations of crystalline polymer is obtained. The formation of this structure, emerging after destruction of spherulites, might be attributed to an increase of interpenetration of both polymers and to an increase of the contact surfaces between components of the mixture.

    Notes: An experimental assembly incorporating a capacitance-type, differential pressure transducer, which provides resolutions of 3 × 10-4 torr at pressures extending to 30 torr, has been employed to monitor the effect of hydrogen environmental pressure on the hydrogen yield from x-irradiated polyethylenes. Contrary to the observations of previous investigators, the hydrogen yield is found to be independent of hydrogen environmental pressures extending over the critical range up to at least 30 torr. It is demonstrated that neglecting the temperature and density gradients inherent in closed-volume irradiation assemblies employing cryogenic traps to separate liberated gases into condensable and noncondensable fractions may lead to erroneous conclusions with respect to gas yields arising from the irradiation of materials. A homogeneous, variable-plate separation ion chamber consisting of a polyethylene body and utilizing flowing ethylene as the cavity gas was employed to obtain total volatile G values of 3.6 ± 0.4, 3.8 ± 0.4, and 4.0 ± 0.4 molecules/100 e.v., for Marlex 6002, Dow Ziegler (Q 917.5), and DuPont A-1410 polyethylenes, respectively. A hydrogen contribution of approximately 98 mole-% was obtained with this experimental method.

    Notes: We have shown by two separate measurements that polypropylene when melted after irradiation undergoes crosslinking from the inception of irradiation. The first proof was an immediate increase in the solution viscosity of a narrow molecular weight fraction of polypropylene. The second proof was the marked change in melt-flow properties on irradiation of a broad molecular weight distribution polypropylene. These findings tend to support one of the two currently held views on the action of radiation on polypropylene. In addition we have confirmed previous reports that melting after irradiation contributes to the overall crosslinking reaction.

    Notes: Dry mixtures of starch with various bases were roasted in air. The effects of roasting were determined by a viscosity method. The results suggest that roasting at alkaline pH's produces covalent crosslinks. The author speculates that the crosslinks result from a combination of autoxidation and aldolization.

    Notes: Five examples are discussed showing how gel permeation chromatography was applied to studies of polymer systems. The calculation of molecular weights from the curves was not pertinent to the studies. The only requirement was that the seperation be a size separation and the results be reproducible.

    Notes: A heterogeneous cellulose reaction was studied by reacting cotton fiber in pyridine medium with propionyl chloride at different initial molar concentrations and at different temperatures. It has been observed that the kinetics of reaction does not follow Sakurada's diffusion equation closely, and the deviation is more noticeable at lower initial concentrations of the reagent and at lower temperatures. A non-uniform reaction rate is also evident from the time-substitution curve. The rate of substitution changes twice during the reaction, the latter change being associated with the loss of cellulose I crystal structure. In an attempt to treat the data according to simple chemical kinetics, the order has been found to decrease continuously from the beginning, suggesting thereby an autocatalytic type of behavior. However, at the finàl stages of the reaction, when the cellulose I structure was completely lost, the reaction behaved as a pseudo first-order type. The x-ray diffractograms of the reacted samples indicate that cellulose I crystallinity decreases from the beginning of the reaction and that a new crystalline lattice develops gradually. The formation of this new crystal lattice is hindered in the cellulose crystalline region due to the lack of freedom of the chains. The diffusion equation has been modified by substituting a crystallinity index for the rate of diffusion of solvent in a solvent-gel system and thus extending Sakurada's equation. A new mechanism has been proposed considering the simultaneous reactions in the amorphous and crystalline regions. This mechanism can explain the deviation of Sakurada's equation. The kinetics expressions are derived, based on the proposed mechanism. The kinetics of decrystallization of cellulose I is also presented. A satisfactory theoretical explanation is given for the fact that the fall of reaction rate occurs at the conclusion of decrystallization of the cellulose I structure.

    Notes: It is shown that the glass temperature (Tg) for homopolymers of the type —CH2—CXY—can be expressed by a simple additive equation involving two terms: (1) a parameter E which is directly related to the molar cohesion energy and (2) a parameter Es* which is a measure of restricted rotation about valence bonds. Es*, at least for a large number of polymers, is related to the Mark-Houwink Kθ value (as measured in θ solvents at Tθ) via anti-log Es* ∝ 1/Kθ2/3. It is also shown that for homologous series [e.g., poly(n-alkyl methacrylates)], there is a constant relationship between E and antilog Es*. The Tg values for copolymers may be estimated by a simple weighted (via mole fraction) summation of the E and Es* values of the components. When used in this form, a linear variation between Tg and composition is assumed, which may not be strictly correct but still yields useful approximations.

    Notes: Lattice spacings perpendicular to the molecular chain axes and crystallite orientation of dried and moist (boiled in water) bulk nylon 6 were determined by x-ray diffraction under tension of 30-300 kg./cm.2. The deformation of the specimen was also measured. The lattice spacings are changed reversibly by the presence of water in nylon 6, but the elastic moduli of the lattice are not affected. The lattice elastic modulus in the direction of the hydrogen bonds is approximately double its value in the direction normal to the hydrogen bonds. The elastic modulus of the dried nylon 6 approaches the value of the lattice elastic modulus in the direction normal to the molecular axes, while the modulus of the moist nylon 6 is several times lower. From these facts, and especially from the relations between the lattice deformation, crystallite orientation, and specimen deformation, the principal differences in the deformation mechanism of dried and moist nylon 6 were deduced. The results obtained have also made possible some general conclusions about the crystalline structure of nylon 6 and the deformation mechanism of linear polymers.

    Notes: Graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and acrylamide onto ovalbumin was carried out with redox system with ceric ion. Initiation of grafting occurred very rapidly, and the number of grafting sites reached a maximum after about 2 min. regardless of initial ceric ion concentration. The grafted polymer chains were separated by selective hydrolysis of the protein backbone with hydrochloric acid or protease in order to characterize the graft copolymers. The grafted polyacrylamide separated by the proteolytic digestion contained a carbohydrate residue at the end of the polymer molecule. The problem of grafting sites on ovalbumin is discussed.

    Notes: A process for adhering polyethylene to aluminum was developed which involves treating the aluminium substrate successively with chromic acid and then a selected organic acid. Certain organic acids utilized in this process appeared to produce a synergistic effect on the adhesion. This process, which required no modification or treatment of the polymer, resulted in peel strengths forty times greater than that obtained on untreated aluminum. Tensile shear values for the polyethylene-aluminum bond were greater than 2800 psi. The materials used for treating the metal in this system produced a maximum in the obtainable peel strength. Furthermore, minor changes in the etching acids resulted in drastic changes in the adhesion values.

    Notes: The effect of monomer sequence on physical properties was investigated for butadienestyrene solution copolymers made by organolithium initiation. The polymers varied from random copolymers of uniform composition along the polymer chain to ideal block polymers of specific block sequence arrangement and included rubbers of intermediate degrees of randomness. Uniform composition random copolymers exhibit a single glass transition temperature and a very narrow dynamic loss peak corresponding to this transition. The glass transition can be predicted from the styrene content and the microstructure of the butadiene portion of the rubber. Random copolymers in which composition varies along the polymer chain, and to some extent between molecules, exhibit a single glass transition, but the dynamic loss peak is broadened. The extent of this broadening is shown to be compatible with the sequence distribution, polymer segments of various compositions losing mobility at different temperatures. This indicates a tendency for association between segments of different temperatures. This indicates a tendency for association between segments of different chains which are similar in composition. Block copolymers display two transitions, corresponding to Tg for each type of block. The position and width of the dynamic loss peaks are related to block length and compositional purity of the blocks.

    Notes: The applicability of Miner's law of cumulative damage to predict lifetimes in experiments involving complex load histories is examined. Lifetimes estimated by Σ ti/(tb)i = 1 are compared with those calculated by the expression for the time to rupture derived by Prevorsek and Lyons assuming that the time to rupture can be approximated by the time to form an unstable crack. For experiments in which the loading conditions became increasingly severe with time, lifetimes predicted by Miner's law are longer than those calculated from the rate of crack propagation, the opposite being found for experiments in which the loading conditions become decreasingly severe with time. Experimental data on hand are in agreement with these findings. Effects of changes in the structural parameters ρ, E, and ΔF* and of variations in the experimental conditions on the accuracy of the lifetime estimates are discussed.

    Notes: The adduct of Kaolin and 2,2′-azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride has been used to initiate the polymerization of methyl methacrylate, styrene, styrene-butadiene, vinyl acetate, chloroprene, acrylamide, and acrylonitrile. Both extractable and nonextractable polymers are obtained. The adduct of bentonite and 2,2′-azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride will initiate the polymerization of methyl methacrylate, acrylamide, vinyl acetate, 4-vinylpridine, and styrene. Both extractable and nonextractable polymers are formed. When the bentonite or the hectorite adducts are more than 99% decomposed prior to the addition of methyl methacrylate, essentially no extractable polymer is formed, but an increased quantity of nonextractable polymer is produced. This is probably due to an increased accessibility of the monomer to the clay's interior surface and a decrease in the rate of chain termination. As is the case of the kaolin adduct, the clay surface of bentonite appears to accelerate the chain growth considerably.

    Notes: A quantitative characterization of natural rubber, both as the raw polymer, and unaccelerated vulcanized samples containing different proportions of sulfur and ranging from soft to hard rubber, is reported. A value of 86% of the chains of natural rubber could be accounted for against 37% as reported by Harries assuming that levulinic acid is the sole degradation product. About 5% of the chain is present as a 3,4 structure which gives rise to formic acid in the degraded product. A small amount of sulfuric acid is present in the degradation product from the vulcanized samples, which decreases with the increases in the percentage of sulfur in the stock as well as the cure time. A chromatographic technique for the separation of levulinic, acetic, and formic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid is reported. It is observed that the total amount of carbon main chain escaping sulfuration decreases and the amount of insoluble fraction increases with increasing proportion of sulfur in the stock.

    Notes: Polyacrylonitrile-β-propiolactone (βPL) graft copolymer was synthesized by means of ionic polymerization, in which polymerization of βPL was initiated by polyacrylonitrile containing a small amount of some reactive groups such as —COOK, —COONa, —COOLi, and —COOH. Lower electronegativity of the countercation favored higher total conversion and higher grafting percentage. The grafting percentage increased with the reaction time and concentration of reactive groups in the trunk polymer, but grafting efficiency varied very little under these conditions. In the bulk polymerization at 60°C., grafting efficiency was about 60%, but in the solution polymerization in toluene or dioxane, grafting efficiency was higher than in bulk or nitrobenzene.

    Notes: Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-β-propiolactone (βPL) graft copolymer was synthesized by means of the ionic polymerization of βPL in the presence of polyacrylonitrile containing diketene units by using basic catalysts. A graft copolymer was produced by the copolymerization of βPL with the lactone ring in the trunk polymer. In this graft copolymerization method, the grafting efficiency was low. However, grafting efficiency increased with the mole ratio of polymeric lactone to βPL; also higher molecular weight of PβPL favored higher grafting efficiency. The reactivity ratio of polymeric lactone to βPL was estimated to be in the range of 0.1-0.3.

    Notes: The radiation-induced grafting to cellulose of styrene, methyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate, 2-vinylpyridine, and 4-vinylpyridine in methanol has been studied. All monomers exhibit appreciable grafting at room temperature in either vacuum or air for total doses up to 10 Mrad and at dose rates as high as 1.4 Mrad/hr. in a spent fuel or 60Co facility. The magnitude of the grafting depends upon both the total dose and dose rate. Under certain experimental conditions, the grafting experiences a maximum which has been attributed to the Trommsdorff effect. A novel mechanism involving charge-transfer bond formation is proposed to account for the observed data in the grafting reactions.

    Notes: Polyacrylamide having a fluorescent residue at the chain end was prepared by polymerization of acrylamide in the presence of a fluorescent dye. The segmental motion of the chain end in dilute solution was studied by the fluorescence polarization method on the fluorescent polyacrylamide conjugates thus obtained. The linear relation between 1/p and T/η0 held for every sample studied in aqueous media, where p is the degree of polarization of the fluorescence, T is the absolute temperature, and η0 is the viscosity of the medium. The mean relaxation time 〈ρ〉 of the conjugate was evaluated from these data as a function of the molecular weight of the conjugate. The value of 〈ρ〉 increased slightly with molecular weight, varying from 3.3 × 10-9 to 7 × 10-9 sec. The absolute values of 〈ρ〉 and its molecular weight dependence suggest that 〈ρ〉 represents the mean rotational relaxation time for the cooperative motion of about ten monomeric units at the chain end. The effect of the mean extension of polymer chain on the segmental motion was found to be negligible.

    Notes: The fluorescence polarization method has been used to study the micro-Brownian motion of a terminal segement of a polymer chain in concentrated solutions. A new apparatus for determining the fluorescence intensity and its polarization degree was designed. By using this apparatus, the rotational relaxation time 〈ρ〉 of the terminal segment of the fluorescent conjugates of polyacrylamide in aqueous polyacrylamide solutions was obtained as a function of polymer concentration from 0 to 65%, molecular weight of the conjugate from 3.5 × 104 to 3 × 105, and temperature from 10 to 30°C. The logarithm of 〈ρ〉 increased approximately linearly with increasing polymer concentration. This increase in 〈ρ〉, amounting to a factor of 20 times, was less marked than that in macroscopic viscosity. At concentrations less than 30%, 〈ρ〉 depended appreciably on the molecular weight of the conjugate.

    Notes: Polyethylene networks were prepared by γ-irradiation of linear polyethylene, both molten and crystalline. The elastic and photoelastic properties of the networks were studied at high temperatures, i.e., in the molten state. The equilibrium swelling was also measured in several solvents. Values of the crosslinking efficiency G of γ-radiation, the molecular, weight Me between entanglements, the optical anisotropy α of the equivalent random link, and the polymer-solvent interaction parameter μ are deduced. Samples prepared by irradiation in the amorphous state showed markedly non-Gaussian elastic behavior. The presence of a large non-Gaussian term in the optical anisotropy is also deduced. The value of α obtained for swollen samples, which showed substantially Gaussian elastic behavior, was 3.9 × 10-24 cm.3, about one-half of that obtained for dry samples. It corresponds to an equivalent random link of only about 5 CH2 units, on the basis of Denbigh's values for bond polarizabilities. The samples prepared by irradiation in the crystalline state showed lower values for α, which also depended upon the degree of crosslinking. This is attributed to the nonrandom chain configurations prevailing at the time of crosslinking. The same samples were found to show more nearly Gaussian elastic behavior, which is attributed to the same cause.

    Notes: Detailed structure analysis of the polyoxymethylene molecule was carried out by the method of three-dimensional Fourier synthesis. The diffraction data were measured on a highly ordered polyoxymethylene sample prepared from a single crystal of tetraoxane by solid-state radiation polymerization. By assuming the anisotropic thermal factors for the oxygen and carbon atoms and taking into account the contribution of the hydrogen atoms, good agreement between the observed and calculated structure factors was obtained; the R factor is 8.8%. The distance between the oxygen atom and the helix axis r(O) = 0.671 A. is slightly shorter than r(C) = 0.691 A. The bond distance C—O = 1.421 A., the angle ∠COC = 112°24′, and ∠OCO = 110°49′. All the internal rotation angles of the skeletal bonds are 78°13′. It is deduced from the experimental results that each crystallite of polyoxymethylene is composed of only one type of helix, right-handed or left-handed.

    Notes: The relation of the high-frequency elastic moduli of semicrystalline polymers to volume fraction crystallinity is correctly described by the Hashin-Shtrikman theory, without any disposable constants, as a function of the ratio of the modulus of the amorphous to that of the crystalline phase. Hence the (high-frequency) reduced modulus of semicrystalline polymers is largely a function of the temperature T/Tg. The importance of T/Tm for the modulus of the crystalline phase precludes the existence of a single universal reduced modulus versus temperature curve.

    Notes: The infrared absorption spectra of selected crystalline and noncrystalline bands were studied in bulk-crystallized specimens of linear polyethylene which encompassed the extremely wide density range of 0.92-0.99 g./cm.3. The analysis of the data obtained at room temperature yield degrees of crystallinity by infrared methods which are in very good accord with the values deduced from the density measurements. Studies of the infrared spectra as a function of temperature give fusion curves which are in agreement with those obtained by thermodynamic methods. However, in order to obtain these latter results cognizance must be taken of the large negative temperature coefficient of the specific extinction coefficients of the crystalline bands from room temperature to the melting point. The necessary data to account for this phenomena were obtained from studies of the spectra of the n-paraffin, C94H190, where molecular crystals are formed. Analysis of the two gauche bands, at 1352 and 1303 cm.-1, which are assigned to the noncrystalline regions demonstrate that for bulk-crystallized samples of lowest densities the intensity ratio at room temperature is identical to that expected from the pure melt at this temperature. The conclusion is thus reached that the noncrystalline regions in these cases and the pure melt are structurally very similar. For samples of higher density, where the crystallite size is comparable to the extended chain length, the intensity ratio of the two gauche bands is altered. This change could reflect a change in the sequential distribution of gauche bonds. This intensity ratio for crystals formed from dilute solution is very similar to that for the high-density bulk-crystallized material and indicates a similarity in structure of the noncrystalline regions in the two cases.

    Notes: To investigate the solution properties of polyethylene, which has the simplest structure of the vinyl polymers, experiments were made with a magnetically suspended equilibrium ultracentrifuge. Preliminary studies were carried out with a polystyrene-chloroform system at 25°C. and a polystyrene-methylcyclohexane system at 68°C. (which is close to the theta temperature) in order to check the difficulties involved in the flotation equilibrium in the former case and the high temperature measurement in the latter. However, no trouble was encountered in either system, and the results were discussed and compared with earlier results for polystyrene solutions. It was found that chloroform is a good solvent for polystyrene, and the measured weight-average molecular weight is somewhat smaller than the value obtained in a theta solvent. After overcoming some technical difficulties involved in studies at higher temperatures, we carried out experiments on polyethylene in α-chloronaphthalene at 130°C. The results are considered reasonable by comparison with results obtained by other methods. The sample employed, Marlex 50 of melt index 0.7, has a wide molecular weight distribution: i.e., Mz/Mw = 5.2 and Mz+1/Mz = 2.4.

    Notes: Accurate measurements of stress relaxation after steady-state flow have been carried out, in the Newtonian flow region, for a polystyrene and a poly(methyl methacrylate) melt, with a cone-and-plate rotational rheometer. From the stress relaxation σ(t) versus t curves the relaxation spectra H were calculated by means of the first approximation equation: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ H = - ({1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {\dot \gamma t)d\sigma {{(t)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{(t)} d}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} d}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\dot \gamma t)d\sigma {{(t)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{(t)} d}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} d}}}\ln t $\end{document}. The shear stress-shear rate curves, σ versus \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ {\dot \gamma } $\end{document} were also measured, in large ranges of shear rates, for the same melts, and from these data the relaxation spectra H were obtained by means of equations given by Faucher and Ferry. The Faucher equation, \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ H = - \dot \gamma ^2 d{\sigma \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {\sigma d}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} d}\dot \gamma ^2 $\end{document}, has been found to give results which compare satisfactorily with those obtained from the first approximation equation. It has been found that the Ferry equation has to be modified for comparable agreement.

    Notes: The effect of polydispersity on liquid-liquid phase equilibrium in systems containing polymer, solvent, and nonsolvent is investigated numerically in the Flory-Huggins approximation for several special cases. The resulting phase diagrams indicate that, except in the immediate vicinity of the critical region, the degree of swelling of a polymer precipitate phase with a given number-average molecular weight is essentially independent of polydispersity.

    Notes: The statistical mechanical treatment of polymeric chains in terms of the largest eigenvalue of the product of statistical weight matrices for the rotational interactions of skeletal bonds of the repeat unit becomes excessively complicated if the repeat unit spans more than three or four skeletal bonds. Moreover, such treatment is necessarily limited to chains in which the number of repeat units is indefinitely large. Newer methods are readily applicable to chains of any degree of polymerization comprising repeat units of any realizable length. If interdependence of neighboring bond rotations is confined to bond pairs within a given unit, rotations about a pair of bonds belonging to neighboring units being mutually independent, further simplifications may be introduced without sacrifice of rigor. Polyamides, in which rotation about bonds on opposite sides of the amide group are independent, are polymers of this type. Adherence of the amide group to the planar trans conformation favors a more extended configuration of the chain, but this effect is dominated by the smaller steric repulsions affecting rotations about bonds which are first, second, and third neighbors of the amide group. It is for this reason that the characteristic ratio 〈r2〉0〉/nl2 for poly(hexamethylene adipamide), ca. 6.0 according to experimental results of Saunders, is less than the value, 8.0, for polymethylene at 25°C. The characteristic ratios and molecular dipole moments are computed as functions of the degree of polymerization. The poly(εaminocaproamide) chain also is treated.

    Notes: Proceeding from the work of Zimm and Stockmayer and of Benoit, a general formula is derived for the calculation of the radius of gyration of block and graft copolymers. It appears that with linear block copolymers the ratio of the mean-square radius of gyration and the mean-square end-to-end distance is usually not far from 1/6. With a great number of blocks the difference from 1/6 can entirely be neglected. Also the influence of the composition of the molecules on the scattered light intensity has been considered.

    Notes: The primary reaction of oxygen with irradiated polyethylene has been followed by observing the rapid disappearance of the ultraviolet absorption bands at 258 and 285 mμ, bands attributed to the allyl and dienyl free radicals. A mathematical theory based on diffusion equations has been developed by means of which a quantitative estimate of the total initial free-radical concentration can be made. From the shape of the free-radical decay curve it can be concluded that the initial oxygen-free-radical reactions occur about three times as frequently in the amorphous regions as in the crystalline.

    Notes: Aromatic poly(amic acids) derived from pyromellitic dianhydride and 4,4′,-diaminodiphenyl ether were characterized by dilute solution techniques. Number-average molecular weights M̄n of 13 samples ranged from 13,000 to 55,000 (DP 31-131). Weight-average molecular weights M̄w of 21 samples ranged from 9,900 to 266,000. The ratio M̄w/M̄n was between 2.2 and 4.8. Heterogeneous polymerization yielded higher molecular weight polymer than homogeneous polymerization. The molecular weight could be varied systematically by control of stoichiometric imbalance. Use of very pure monomers and solvent gave polymers of relatively high number-average molecular weight (∼50, 000) and the most probable molecular weight distribution M̄w/M̄n = 2. Impure monomers and/or solvent resulted in lower number-average molecular weight (M̄n ≅ 20,000-30,000) and wider distributions (M̄w/M̄n = 3-5). The Mark-Houwink relation obtained was [η] = 1.85 × 10-4M̄w0.80 The exponent is characteristic of moderately extended solvated coils. The unperturbed chain dimensions (r02/M)1/2 were 0.848 A., and the steric factor σ was 1.24 which is close to the limiting value of unity for an equivalent chain with free internal rotations. The sedimentation constant-molecular weight relation was S0 = 2.70 × 10-2M̄w0.39. This exponent is consistent with the Mark-Houwink exponent.

    Notes: Recent precision measurements of the heats of combustion of atactic and isotactic polystyrene permit an unequivocal calculation of the enthalpy difference in the bulk amorphous forms of the two isomers of this polymer. Contributions to this quantity arise mainly from the differences in nonbonded interactions in the two configurations but may also contain terms relating to higher energy conformations and to intermolecular interactions. The thermochemical and NMR data of specific polymers and of simple molecules are discussed in a comparison with model compound calculations. The thermochemical method has potentially important applications in studying molecular interactions in stereoregular polymers.

    Notes: The α, β, and γ transitions at temperatures between -200 and +100°C. of crosslinked aromatic and aliphatic epoxy polymers were determined from damping and shear modulus data, and compared with their fluorine containing analogs. Loci of segmental relaxation are suggested at various temperatures, and similarities between aliphatic and fluorocarbon segments, and polyethylene and polytetrafluoroethylene are discussed. Two systems of structurally similar monomers 2,2,3,3,4,4-hexafluoropentane diglycidyl ether-1,5 and 1,4-butane diglycidyl ether, and 2,2-bis(4-glycidyl phenyl ether)hexafluoropropane and 2,2-bis(4-glycidyl phenyl ether) propane were polymerized with the aid of two diamine curing agents, namely, ethylenediamine and m-xylylenediamine. Polymers of the aromatic diepoxides showed transitions with peaks at -56°C. and above +70°C. Three main peaks were registered for the aliphatic and fluorocarbon diepoxides: at -125 and at -100°C., at -56°C., and at 0°C. It is suggested that the Tg is affected by an interdependence of relaxation of all components of the polymer main chain.

    Notes: Heterogeneous olefin polymerization catalysts generally consist of a transition metal compound from groups IVB or VB in combination with an organometallic compound from groups I, II, and III of the periodic table of the elements, but in some instances may contain a third component possessing at least one strongly complexing ligand atom. The composition of a coordination catalyst of this type determines both the rate of polymerization of the α-olefin and the stereoregularity of the polymer produced. In order to predict activity and stereospecificity of catalysts for the polymerization of α-olefins, data from the polymerization of propylene using catalysts of the following types were correlated: (1) titanium(III) chloride catalysts in which the organometallic component was varied, (2) coordination catalysts containinig a ligand third component in which the ligand was varied, and (3) coordination catalysts in which the transition metal component was varied.The electronegativity of an orgariometallic compound is known to be important in determining its reactivity with ethers, hydrogen, and other reagents. Both the ionic size and the electronegativity of the central atom appear to be important in determining the utility of both the organometallic and the transition metal compounds as components for coordination catalysts. In general, organometallic and transition metal compounds having small central atoms with similar electronegativities favor the formation of stereospecific catalysts.The present correlation has made it possible to predict the activity and stereospecificity of coordination catalysts for olefin polymerization.

    Notes: Light-scattering, viscometric and osmometric studies have been carried out on dilute solutions of polycarbonate fractions both in a good solvent and in theta solvents. The data span the molecular weight interval 5 〈 10-3M 〈 760. It has been concluded that: (1) the overall behavior in dilute solution is consistent with a flexible chain conformation; (2) the ratio of the unperturbed mean-square radius to the molecular weight, or to the number of chain elements, is larger than commonly observed for vinyl polymers; (3) the ratio of the unperturbed radius to the radius calculated for a chain with free rotation about valence bonds has the unusually small value 1.3; and (4) the hydrodynamic behavior of the chain may reflect partical draining affects.

    Notes: Degradation of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) by violent stirring was studied in various solvents. The chain scission or the limit of the degradation was measured, and the effects of solvents, polymer concentration, stirring speed and degree of polymerization (DP) were investigated. It was found that the number of bonds broken per polymer chain was independent of the concentration but increased with the stirring speed and with decrease in the DP. The rate was much affected by the solvent used, being larger in a poor solvent. It was also found that the rate could be represented either by Jellinek's or Ovenall's rate equations, which have been applied to the ultrasonic degradation of polymers in solution.

    Notes: Thermal expansion and dielectric relaxation of polyacrylonitrile were measured in the temperature range from -75 to 152°C. at frequencies from 30 cps to 3 Mc./sec. The thermal expansion curve and the temperature dependence of logarithmic relaxation time both show an inflection at 85°C. An x-ray study by Bohn reveals that this inflection comes from the thermal expansion of the paracrystalline phase of this polymer, and consequently the transition at 85°C. and the associated relaxation are ascribed to molecular motion in the paracrystalline phase. The relaxation strength increases with increasing temperature above this point. The transition is caused by freezing of the bending vibration of chains whereas the relaxation results from rotational vibration. The length of segments in this phase is roughly estimated to be ca. 100 A. by comparing the observed relaxation strength with the theory developed on the basis of the above considerations.

    Notes: In order to explain the observed nonvanishing limiting value of dynamic intrinsic viscosity of polymer solutions at ω = ∞ one has considered the necklace model with finite resistance to the rate of coil deformation introduced long ago by Cerf for the study of gradient dependence of intrinsic viscosity and streaming birefringence. The calculation need not take into account change of hydrodynamic interaction as a consequence of coil deformation because the experimental data are always either obtained at very low gradient or extrapolated to zero gradient so that in the experiment the macromolecule has the same conformation as in the solution at rest. The model indeed yields a finite [η]′ω = ∞ in good agreement with experiments on polystyrene in Aroclor. According to the theory [η]′ω = ∞/[η]0 decreases with increasing molecular weight as M-1 and M-1/2 for the free-draining and impermeable coil, respectively. The absolute limiting value [η]∞′, therefore turns out to be nearly independent of M, at least for small values of internal viscosity. From the observed value [η]∞′/[η0] one can obtain the coefficient of internal viscosity of the macromolecule. The value for polystyrene in Aroclor calculated from dynamic experiments on rather concentrated solutions is close to that derived by Cerf from streaming birefringence observations of polystyrene in a series of solvents of widely differing viscosity.

    Notes: Polarized infrared measurements were made on polymer samples to obtain the structural changes occurring during the orientation process. The absorbances of the infrared bands were measured by determining the three components of the absorbance. Two components were obtained directly with plane-polarized light while the third is obtained by tilting the sample and extrapolating. Corrections were made for machine optics polarization, sample birefringence, polarizer inefficiency, anisotropy of the index of refraction, and scattering from the film surface. Data are reported for polyethylene obtained from cold-drawn specimens as a function of draw temperature. Polyethylene exhibits no strain-induced crystallization as a result of the chain-alignment process. Annealing of the drawn samples reperfects the distorted crystals.

    Notes: The diffusion coefficient of 1,1,2-trichlorotrifluoroethane (TTE) in a liquid polybutene was determined at 25°C. as a function of concentration over the range 1.0-19.5 g. TTE/100 cc. The diffusion coefficient increase with increasing TTE concentration, rising continuously from 3 × 10-8 cm.2/sec. at the lowest concentration to 15 × 10-8 cm.2/sec. at the highest. The magnitudes of the diffusion coefficients indicate that the diffusion mechanism for small molecules in polymeric media must afford vastly greater opportunities for diffusion than the Stokes-Einstein relation allows. Similarly, self-diffusion coefficients for the liquid polymer are much lower than the observed mutual diffusion coefficients. An explanation for this behavior is presented.

    Notes: The effect of long-chain branching must be considered in gel permeation chromatography to evaluate the molecular weight polydispersity of branched polyethylenes. Osmotic molecular weights of fractions of branched polyethylene were correlated with elution volumes; weight-average and number-average molecular weights of a branched polyethylene were determined. Molecular weight changes on crosslinking polyethylene by ionizing radiation are accompanied by branching and cannot be simply interpreted by gel permeation chromatography.

    Notes: A simple differential, isothermal calorimeter has been built to study the thermodynamics of interactions associated with a variety of polymer solution processes. The calorimeter is readily operated at temperatures ranging from ambient to about 200°C., temperature adjustments are rapid, and the apparatus is rugged enough to permit application to commercial process studies. Though less sensitive than microcalorimeters, it represents an attractive combination of satisfactory accuracy, speed, and flexibility of operation. The operation of the calorimeter is demonstrated by measurements of the heat of solution of sodium chloride in water and the heats of solution of various polyolefins in Tetralin and α-chloronaphthalene. The latter tend to confirm the presence of polymer aggregates in chloronaphthalene solutions below the thermodynamic melting temperature of the polymer.

    Notes: The optical and mechanical properties of poly(vinyl chloride) film were examined by observing both the stress and birefringence during stretching at constant rate, during relaxation at constant length and during a dynamic birefringence experiment. Experiments were also done by varying the temperature at constant length. The changes in birefringence are interpreted in terms of changes in negative distortional birefringence, changes in positive orientation birefringence, and possible reversible changes in birefringence with temperature arising from conformational changes in the polymer chain and changes in the contribution of birefringent crystals.

    Notes: The dependence of crystalline morphology of isotactic polypropylene crystallized from dilute solutions on its molecular weight and growing conditions and the mechanism of crystal growth were studied by electron microscopy and electron diffraction. Lathshaped lamellar crystals 150-300 A. in thickness are obtained from fractionated polypropylene powders of Mw (average molecular weight) = 600,000 and 240,000, but not from the samples of Mw = 82,000 and 44,000, by means of isothermal crystallization at 130°C. for 20 hr. in dilute α-chloronaphthalene solution (0.005 wt.-%). Precipitation of the fractionated polypropylene sample of Mw = 82,000 from a dilute solution of carbitol gives typical dendritic crystals under the same isothermal crystallizing conditions as mentioned above. The mode of chain folding in these crystals based on the orientation and the crystal structure of the lamellar crystals agrees with that proposed by Sauer, Morrow, and Richardson. From the morphological observations, the mechanism of growth pertinent to polypropylene lamellar crystals is presumed to be as follows: fibrils at first aggregate, then the molecular chains are folded to form small lamellae, and then these small lamellae accumulate compactly to grow to large, lath-shaped, lamellar crystals.

    Notes: The concentration of solvent in the gel phase of a swelling polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer bead has been measured as a function of the radius by optical interference techniques. It is found that an appreciable gradient exists even shortly after the core disappears. Results are presented for two cases: a very lightly crosslinked bead that exhibits negligible birefringence while swelling, and a more tightly crosslinked network in which the birefringence must be considered. It is also found that the refractive index of the unswollen bead is considerably less than that found by extrapolation from the swollen state; this effect is reasonable when the “free volume” in the bulk polymer is considered.

    Notes: The dispersion of birefringence in oriented amorphous polymers is discussed. It is shown that for polystyrene, the birefringence can be considered as the product of an orientation function and a function of the wavelength of the light. This leads to a method for expressing the birefringence dispersion as a function that is characteristic of the polymer. This function is determined for polystyrene, and from it the birefringence at infinite wavelength is found to be 11% lower than that measured with the mercury green line (5461 A.).

    Notes: The molecular dimensions of polydipropylsiloxamer were studied by intrinsic viscosity measurements in toluene and in 2-pentanone. The relationships between the molecualr weight and the intrinsic viscosity were found to be: [η]25°C., toluene = 4.35 × 10-4 M0.58; [η]θ(10°C.), toluene = 1.09 × 10-3 M0.5; [η]θ(76°C.), 2-pentanone = 8.71 × 10-4 M0.5. This held reasonably well for molecular weights from 25,000 to 3000,000. The root-mean-square end-to-end length ratio, (r02/M)1/2 as calculated from the constant K, exceeds the free rotation value by approximately 100%. The disparity is greater than that found with polydimethylsiloxamer, indicating a lower degree of flexibility for the polydipropylsiloxamer. This is largely due to the short range steric interaction between near neighboring units of the chain. Gel permeation chromatography was also employed to demonstrate the lower degree of flexibility for polydipropylsiloxamer as compared with polydimethylsiloxamer.

    Notes: The present study is concerned with some network properties of polyurethane elastomers in which stability is acheived via physical crosslinkages such as microcrystallites or secondary bonding. The techniques of isothermal, thermo-, and photoelasticity have been used to gain better insight into the mechanisms which occur during the deformation of these materials. It was found that stable networks are obtained only after mechanical and thermal conditioning. The well-known stress lowering which is observed during the second deformation is manifested primarily in the entropy component of the retractive force. This implies that the stress lowering results from a reduction in the number of effective network chains and not from time-dependent effects or crystallinity changes. Depending upon the chemical structure of the material, both positive and negative energy components of the force have been found.

    Notes: An extension of the results of a previous to higher molecular weights is made. The viscoelastic parameters ηt, Je, τm, and Em are found experimentally through stress relaxation tests. The predictions of the Rouse-Bueche (RB) theory and its modified Ferry, Landel, Williams (FLW) form concerning the molecular weight dependencies of these perameters are compared with the data. It is found that the RB and FLW predictions are not rigorously obeyed.

    Notes: Living polystyrene was grafted on fractions of poly(methyl methacrylate) by an anionic grafting reaction. Unreacted polystyrene was separated by fractional precipitation. The composition of copolymer, i.e., the molecular weight of main chains and side chains, was determined. The influence of molecular weight and structure of graft copolymers on the intrinsic viscosity of solutions was examined. This may be expressed in the form [η] = KMagn. The dependence between a and n in this equation was established.

    Notes: In earlier work we have indicated a superposition principle for moderately concentrated mixtures (c ≲ 2/[η]) in good and poor solvents. By an examination of data on a number of vinyl polymers and cellulose derivatives in good as well as poor solvents, the validity of this principle is extended to concentrated solutions (c ≲ 50%). The characteristic concentration factor γ is proportional to M-a1 over the whole concentration range, with 0.47 ≤ a1 ≤ 1.10 being larger for good than for poor solvents, the result obtained earlier. Significant deviations from this relationship are noted in good solvents for those low molecular weights at which deviations from the usual intrinsic viscosity relationship occur. This may be related to the expansion factor of the polymer coil. On the basis of these results, the concentration and molecular weight dependence of the viscosity in the concentrated solution can be related to each other in terms of the parameter a1 and thus to thermodynamic characteristics. In this manner a bridge between the relatively dilute and concentrated regions is established. Currently used semiempirical expressions are analyzed in terms of these results. For the polystyrene-cyclohexane systems and θ - 9 ≦ T ≦ θ + 3, γ can be identified with the critical concentration for phase separation. Provided an “entanglement” concentration ce exists, in the neighbourhood of which the concentration dependence of the viscosity changes reapidly, γ can alternatively be shown to be proportional to ce, or ce ∝ M-a1. The temperature reduction scheme suggested earlier remains to be investigated.

    Notes: Molecular weight M and concentration c dependencies of the zero-shear viscosity (η) were measured over wide ranges of M and c for concentrated solutions of linear and branched poly(vinyl acetate) as well as of polystyrene under θ conditions. The log η versus log M and log η versus log c curves for a given system can be superposed by the horizontal shift along the abscissa, giving smooth master curves. From the shift factors the ratio of two exponents β and α, which appear in the following equation, can be evaluated: η = K′(cρ)αMβ, where ρ is the density of the solution and K′ is a constant at constant temperature. The evaluated values of β/α for the systems under θ conditions are equal to or very close to 0.50 as was anticipated from the previous work. The above superposition method was also applied to available viscosity data, and it was found that β/α had a good correlation with a in [η] = KMa. This indicates that the individual molecules in concentrated solutions maintain the same individuality as in dilute solutions, and might be a positive support to the packed sphere model proposed previously by the authors. The effect of solvent on the molecular weight and the concentration dependencies of viscosity was also discussed.

    Notes: The homopolymer and many of the copolymers of N-acrylylglycinamide yield thermally reversible gels in water. These systems are uniquely suitable for studying synthetic photographic gelatin substitutes and for understanding the mechanism of the gelation process. Polymerization of N-acrylylglycinamide has been studied under a variety of conditions. The homopolymer is aggregated in dilute aqueous solution and probably molecularly dispersed in 2M thiocyanate solution. At concentrations of several per cent, in water, thermally reversible gels are formed whose melting points rise with increasing concentration and increasing molecular weight. The heat of gelation crosslinking has been calculated to be -8.8 kcal./mole of crosslinks. Introduction of small amounts of carboxyl groups into the polymer raises the melting points of the aqueous gels. The effect of various organic and inorganic reagents on gelation is presented. The ability to prepare copolymers which can be flocculated has been demonstrated as well as the usefulness of the monomer in certain types of photoresist systems. Copolymerization with acrylic acid and β-aminoethyl vinyl ether has been studied, and the r1 and r2 values for these systems have been calculated as well as Q and e values for N-acrylylglycinamide.

    Notes: The influence of the species of counterion on the polyelectrolyte behavior and the conformation of poly-L-methionine S-methylsulfonium salts in aqueous solution was studied by viscometric, electrochemical, and optical measurements. The degree of binding of small counterions to charged polyions increases in the sequence: chloride ≲ bromide 〈 iodide 〈 thiocyanate. The conformations of chloride and bromide salts are independent of polymer concentration. On the contrary, iodide and thiocyanate salts indicate a conformational transition, probably from a random-coil conformation to an intermolecularly stabilized β-form, with the increase of polymer concentration. The results suggest the existence of a strong specific interaction between counterion and macroion in iodide and thiocyanate salt solutions at high polymer concentration.

    Notes: Single-crystal preparations of polyethylene were treated with the selective oxidizing agent, fuming nitric acid. The degraded products were examined as regards layer thickness (by low-angle x-ray studies), chemical and weight changes, recrystallization and annealing treatments, and by broadline NMR, as part of a systematic investigation aimed at clarifying the nature of disordered material in single crystals. It emerges that there is a disordered-mobile region along the fold surface of the crystals in agreement with other parallel works along similar lines. In a more detailed analysis we can now decompose the nitric acid attack into components affecting the basal and side surfaces, respectively. Taking into account the recrystallization-annealing observations, we infer that the fold surface is heterogeneous with folds of more than one kind. These results were combined with a preliminary molecular weight distribution study by gel permeation chromatography. Taking into account all the available evidence, we are led to suggest a composite structure where surface looseness, coresponding to long loops and hairs, is superimposed on the more regular folded surface. This model is in the process of being tested. The problems concerning the assignment of a value to the amount of surface looseness are being discussed. In addition, a discontinuity in the thermal behavior of the crystals between 75 and 80°C. has been detected.

    Notes: This paper is devoted to the determination of the number of intermolecular bonds in a polymer crosslinked according to the following process: (1) crosslinking in the usual isotropic state, (2) additional crosslinking of the strained primary network. The Flory equation for swelling in solvents has been modified in order to take into account the oriented state of the initial network at the time of secondary crosslinking. The combination of this equation with those relating the modulus of elasticity and the dimensions of the relaxed sample to the deformation of the primary network at the time of secondary crosslinking leads to different possible evaluations of the number of intermolecular bonds. Their significance is discussed. The equations thus established are tested with natural rubber samples vulcanized according to the above-mentioned process. The validity of the number of crosslinks thus calculated is discussed; a partial degradation of the primary network occurs during the second crosslinking. Its influence is taken into account by using the approximated equations proposed by Flory. The efficiency of the vulcanizing agent (TMTD) is consequently shown to be practically independent of the deformation of the primary network at the time of secondary crosslinking.

Near the sol-gel boundary, diffraction patterns were obtained which indicated organized structures with repeating units of 1100, 250, and 12.5 μ. Microscopic investigations confirmed that at this gel boundary capillaries run parallel to each other and perpendicular to the direction of diffusion. The diameter of capillaries was 12 μ while their length was in the 1000 μ range. Short interconnecting capillaries were about 200-300 μ in length. Inside the gel, in the more highly crosslinked parts, a disorientation occurs during the aging process with the partial disappearance of capillaries. However, at the gel-sol and gel-semipermeable membrane boundaries, the highly organized structures remain even during prolonged aging. The kinetics of the gel formation was also investigated.

    Notes: Osmotic pressures of aqueous solutions of poly(diethylaminoethyl methacrylate) hydrochloride, in equilibrium with a precipitate of the un-ionized polybase, at various concentrations of polymer and NaCl in solution and at different values of pH are derived from emf measurements and the “cell” theory for polyelectrolytes. Single-ion activities are evaluated according to two procedures. The first is based on measurements with ion-specific electrodes versus a calomel electrode. The second makes use of a salt bridge, but assumes that the co-ions have activity coefficients equal to the mean activity coefficient of the salt in a polyelectrolyte-free solution of the same concentration. The results show that the calculated values of the osmotic pressures are consistent with those obtained by the exact integration of the Gibbs-Duhem relationship, when the first procedure is employed. If, however, the single-ion activities are evaluated by the second procedure, the osmotic pressures obtained are consistently lower by about 10%. These differences arise because the two methods yield different values of the activity coefficients of the single ions.

    Notes: The dynamic strain-optical coefficient of low-density polyethylene is found to decrease with increasing frequency and increase with increasing temperature (at temperatures up to 60°C.). It is found that a series of curves representing the real, K′, and imaginary, K″, parts of the frequency variation of the strain-optical coefficient obtained at various temperatures up to 60°C. may be superposed by translation along the frequency axis. The temperature dependence of the shift factor corresponds to an Arrhenius type equation with an activation energy of the order of 25 kcal./mole. This may be compared with the similar value obtained by Takayanagi for the αc′ mechanical loss and with the dynamic x-ray diffraction values reported by Kawaguchi et al., but is somewhat lower than the value of 34 kcal./mole reported by Onogi et al. from birefringence relaxation studies. Takayanagi has ascribed the αc′ peak to cooperative motion of crystalline and amorphous regions of the sort that might be involved in the suggested sliding of lamellae over each other. At temperatures higher than 80°C., horizontal superposition is not possible.

    Notes: The time-dependent birefringence has been measured simultaneously with the stress relaxation on quenched and annealed low-density polyethylene at various temperatures from 10 to 70°C. The strain-optical coefficient increases generally with increasing time, and approaches the equilibrium value, which depends upon the temperature. When the strain-optical coefficient at a fixed time is plotted against temperature, it first increases and then decreases after passing through a maximum at Tmax with increasing temperature. The higher the degree of crystallinity, the higher are the equilibrium values of the strain-optical coefficient and Tmax. The curves for strain-optical coefficient versus time and relaxation modulus versus time below Tmax can be superposed well by a horizontal shift along the abscissa. The optical shift factor obeys the original WLF equation, while the mechanical shift factor is much larger than the optical one. The molecular mechanisms corresponding to this dispersion of the strain-optical coefficient and viscoelastic αc absorption peak near Tmax are discussed.

    Notes: The theory of rate processes has been applied by Eyring to the plastic flow of solids, but he considers only the case of simple shear. Some assumptions concerning a generalization of this theory for an arbitrary strain tensor are here proposed and discussed. The components of the deformation and the work done by the deviator of the stress during the elementary flow process are evaluated. According to these results, it can be proved that the yield condition of Huber, Hencky, and von Mises is valid when there is no hydrostatic stress. The discrepancy between the yield stresses corresponding to tensile and compressive tests is explained by the influence of the hydrostatic component and evaluated by taking account of the amount of free volume required for an elementary jump. The calculated value agrees with the experimental data. Measurements of the inclination of Lüder's bands and deformation components on poly(vinyl chloride) flat bars strained by tensile tests are in good agreement with the proposed theory.

    Notes: Equations are developed for predicting the distributions of degree of substitution and block length in substitution copolymers which result when homopolymers are subjected to substitution reactions. Several different cases are treated differing in complexity from entirely random substitution to substitution affected by substituents already present on the same and on the neighboring repeat units. The equations are then applied to chlorinated polyethylene as an example of their use.

    Notes: The mechanism of carbon black reinforcement was studied by examining stress-strain properties of preswollen (i.e., cured in the swollen state then deswollen) SBR-1500 vulcanizates and the effect of heat treatment on such samples. It was found that the supercoiling of molecular chains leads to a purely viscous response at low elongations. On heating of preswollen samples, molecular rearrangement at the carbon black surface occurs, leading to a considerable increase in modulus. The activation energy of that process was determined by using the superposition principle.
