Effect of the solvent nature on the rheological properties of concentrated solutions of various polymers

The paper compares the viscous, high-elastic and viscoelastic properties of solutions in various solvents of four polymers (polyisobutylene, polystyrene, polymethyl methacrylate and acetyl cellulose) differing in chain rigidity and the intensity of molecular interaction, over a wide range of compositions for the linear region of the mechanical behaviour of these systems. For solutions of polyisobutylene and polystyrene, the effect of the nature of the solvent on the viscosity is determined by the inherent viscosity of the solvent and by the fact that solutions under isothermal conditions are not in corresponding states with respect to their glass transition temperatures. The high-elasticity modulus of polyisobutylene and polystyrene solutions is independent of the nature of the solvent and of temperature. This indicates that the fluctuating network of entanglements is insensitive to the nature of the solvent and that the free volume plays the determining role in the behaviour of these solutions. Solutions of acetyl cellulose and polymethyl methacrylate are characterized by a very strong dependence of the viscosity on the nature of the solvent (which cannot be explained by notions valid for solutions of the first two polymers) and also by a change in the high-elasticity modulus with variation in the nature of the solvent and temperature. This proves that the properties of solutions of polar polymers are determined both by the free volume and the density of the fluctuating network, which changes with the solvent and temperature. The shape of the relaxation spectra of solutions of various polydisperse polymers in solvents of different natures is the same, while the specific properties of the solutions are associated with the position of the spectra on the time scale, which determines the fundamental constants of the solutions, viz. the zero shear viscosity and the initial high-elasticity modulus.

The analysis of some lipids of four forms of the common sea buckthorn has shown that they all differ with respect to the composition of the fatty acids of the triacylglycerols of the leaves. One of the forms is characterized by an infringement of the specificity of the composition of the fatty acids in positions 2 of the triacylglycerols of the oils of the seeds and the leaves.     

Electrothermal atomization—the way toward absolute methods of atomic absorption analysis

Considering the currently prevailing opinion that electrothermal atomizers are very susceptible to matrix interferences, an opinion which is contradictory to the optimistic forecasts of the first publications, the general status of the problem to date has been investigated.The first part of the paper deals with the ideal models of the two basic types of electrothermal atomizers, viz., those of the semi-enclosed and those of open type. The graphite cuvette and the Massmann furnace have been selected for discussion in their two commercial versions—the HGA and the CRA—of the first type of atomizers; the West filament and the combined atomizers—rod-in-flame and capsule-in-flame—of the second type. The models describing the distribution of atoms in the absorbing zone have been compared and the data obtained have been used to interpret the experimentally observed differences in the sensitivity of real atomizers.The second section of the paper discusses the conformity of real atomizers relative to ideal models and to the requirement of correctly recording the absorption by means of integrating the pulses. A marked time and space non-isothermality of the commercial atomizers has been established which makes it impossible to measure the integral absorption correctly. The graphite cuvette and the combined atomizers best meet the requirements of the ideal models. On the basis of the data obtained, the possible ways of bringing the semi-enclosed atomizers closer to ideal models have been explored. In this connection, the possibility of using a graphite platform for vaporizing samples in tube furnaces as well as using the temperature-controlled furnace and the pulse heated graphite furnace with a capacitance power supply has been examined. The application of the last method ensures time and space isothermality of the absorbing layer and reduces by 10–100 times the electric power input.The third section of the paper examines the thermochemical laws governing the possible chemical effects arising from the interaction between the analytes, on the one hand, and the furnace walls, the gaseous atmosphere and the matrix, on the other. A critical review has been carried out of the results of some recent publications on investigation of sample vaporization in graphite furnaces, which reveals the fact that the temperature of absorption appearance is rarely connected with the heat of vaporization of the free element. In most instances it is determined by the sum of the heat of decomposition of the non-volatile carbide and the heat of vaporization of the free element. Thermochemical examination of the stability of the compounds formed in the gaseous phase revealed the fact that besides forming monoxides, there is the possibility of forming monocyanides. In addition, the presence of large quantities of halogens causes partial binding of the analyte as gaseous monohalides, mainly monochlorides. In order to eliminate the latter effect, it has been suggested to employ higher atomization temperatures or to bind chlorine in a stable lithium monochloride. The efficiency of the proposed methods has been tested by experiment.Our research has shown that the main reasons for the unsatisfactory status of the problem concerning the matrix effects, are connected with the use of the amplitude (peak) method of recording the absorption, with the time and space non-isothermality of the absorbing layer of the commercial atomizers, and with the formation of gaseous monohalides. All these problems may be eliminated on the basis of theoretically proved and tested methods, some of which are discussed in this paper.     

Analysis of metastable defocusing spectra of lycoctonine bases having 7,8-methylenedioxy groups

The parameters of the MD spectra of the fragmentary ions of 21 lycoctonine alkaloids with 7,8-MDOGs have been investigated. On this basis, the monotypicity of the main fragmentation processes characteristic for the individual groups of compounds have been confirmed. A decrease in the number of common group characteristics of the MD spectra of the ions arising as the result of multistage breakdown processes is caused by alternative methods for their formation. This is not shown only by the doublet nature of the fragmentary ions. The results of a comparison of the MD spectra with the structures of the molecules have confirmed the hypothesis expressed previously concerning the 7,8-MDOG as the center of localization of the charge, competing with the nitrogen atom and facilitating the elimination of various substituents from the diterpene skeleton. A comparison has been made of two methods of evaluating the common nature of the fragmentation reaction: from the energies of the metastable transitions and from the relative intensities of the metastable peaks. The two methods give mutually supplementary information concerning the nature of the fragmentation processes.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Reasons for the effect of the amount of electrolyte on the performance of lithium–sulfur cells

As is known, the depth of the electrochemical reduction of sulfur and lithium polysulfides, the reduction rate, and the cycle life of lithium–sulfur cells decrease with the electrolyte content. The present paper studies the reasons for the effect of the amount of electrolyte on the depth of sulfur reduction and the cycle life of lithium–sulfur cells. The main reason for the effect of the amount of electrolyte on the depth of the electrochemical reduction of sulfur was shown to be the generation of solvate complexes of lithium polysulfides. The minimum amount of electrolyte required for complete reduction of sulfur during the discharge of lithium–sulfur cells is determined by the composition of the generated solvate complexes of lithium polysulfides. The solvate numbers of the lithium ion in the solvate complexes of lithium polysulfides generted in sulfolane electrolyte systems were evaluated from the experimental data. An analysis of the results shows that the minimum solvate number of lithium ions in the solvate complexes of lithium polysulfides with sulfolane is 1.     

Coupling between lysozyme and glycerol dynamics: microscopic insights from molecular-dynamics simulations

We explore possible molecular mechanisms behind the coupling of protein and solvent dynamics using atomistic molecular-dynamics simulations. For this purpose, we analyze the model protein lysozyme in glycerol, a well-known protein-preserving agent. We find that the dynamics of the hydrogen bond network between the solvent molecules in the first shell and the surface residues of the protein controls the structural relaxation (dynamics) of the whole protein. Specifically, we find a power-law relationship between the relaxation time of the aforementioned hydrogen bond network and the structural relaxation time of the protein obtained from the incoherent intermediate scattering function. We demonstrate that the relationship between the dynamics of the hydrogen bonds and the dynamics of the protein appears also in the dynamic transition temperature of the protein. A study of the dynamics of glycerol as a function of the distance from the surface of the protein indicates that the viscosity seen by the protein is not the one of the bulk solvent. The presence of the protein suppresses the dynamics of the surrounding solvent. This implies that the protein sees an effective viscosity higher than the one of the bulk solvent. We also found significant differences in the dynamics of surface and core residues of the protein. The former is found to follow the dynamics of the solvent more closely than the latter. These results allowed us to propose a molecular mechanism for the coupling of the solvent-protein dynamics.     

Properties of free surface of water-methanol mixtures. Analysis of the truly interfacial molecular layer in computer simulation

Molecular dynamics simulations of the vapor-liquid interface of water-methanol mixtures of five different compositions were performed on the canonical (N,V,T) ensemble at 298 K. In addition, the vapor-liquid interface of the two neat systems was simulated, as well. The obtained configurations were analyzed by means of the novel identification of truly interfacial molecules method, which provides a full list of the molecules that are right at the surface (i.e., at the boundary of the two phases). The molecular level roughness of the surface, the adsorption of the methanol molecules at the surface layer, the orientation of the surface molecules, the residence time of the molecules at the surface layer, as well as the surface aggregation of the molecules were analyzed in detail. Both the frequency and the amplitude of the surface roughness were found to become larger with an increasing methanol content. This effect was found to be stronger for the amplitude, which falls in the range of 2-4 A, depending on the composition of the system. Methanol was found to be adsorbed at the surface layer, being preferentially at the humps of the molecularly rough surface. Surface methanol prefers to orient in such a way that the O-CH(3) bond remains perpendicular to the macroscopic plane of the surface, pointing the methyl group to the vapor phase. The main orientational preference of the water molecules is to lie parallel to the surface. Methanol was found to remain considerably longer at the surface layer of the mixed systems than water. Thus, contrary to the fact that the residence times of the two molecules were found to be rather similar to each other at the surface of their neat liquids, the residence time of the methanol molecules was an order of magnitude larger than that of water molecules at the surface of their mixtures. A strong lateral microscopic segregation of the molecules was observed at the surface layer; the minor component of the system (irrespective of whether it was water or methanol) was found to form two-dimensional aggregates, leaving the rest of the surface empty for the major component. The effect of the vicinity of the vapor phase on the properties of the molecules was found to vanish very quickly: the composition of the second layer as well as the properties of the molecules of this layer (e.g., dynamics and orientation) did not differ considerably from those in the bulk liquid phase.

1H CIDNP study of the kinetics and mechanism of the reversible photoinduced oxidation of tryptophyl-tryptophan dipeptide in aqueous solutions

The pulsed method of chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) with the microsecond time resolution was used to study the nuclear polarization kinetics of Trp-Trp (tryptophyl-tryptophan) dipeptide protons in the photoreaction between the dipeptide and 2,2??-dipyridyl in aqueous solutions at pH from 2 to 10. The dependence of the selectivity of the reversible photoinduced oxidation of the dipeptide by 2,2??-dipyridyl in the triplet-excited state was found. When the pH of the solutions was below pK _a of the terminal amino group, polarization was observed only for the protons of the C-terminal residue. The threshold effect of protonation of the terminal amino group of the dipeptide on the selectivity of both the deactivation of the 2,2??-dipyridyl triplet state and the degenerate intermolecular electron exchange was revealed. No intramolecular electron migration in the oxidized dipeptide was detected. At the pH exceeding pK _a of the terminal amino group of the dipeptide, the quenching of the triplet excited state of 2,2??-dipyridyl is not selective. This is manifested as equal intensities of the nuclear polarization signals of the both residues of tryptophan in the 1H NMR spectrum of the dipeptide containing the CIDNP signals of the geminate reaction products. The rate constant of the degenerate electron exchange and nuclear paramagnetic relaxation times of the protons of the neutral radical and radical cation of the dipeptide were determined by the numerical simulation of the nuclear polarization kinetics.     

Influence of interfacial adhesion and the nonequilibrium glassy structure of a polymer on the enthalpy of mixing of polystyrene-based filled composites

For composites based on polystyrene, the styrene-butadiene copolymer, and polybutadiene filled with various kinds of zinc oxide powder, the enthalpy of mixing is calculated in the entire range of filler contents on the basis of calorimetric measurements with the use of the thermochemical cycle. It is shown that, when the polymer is in excess in the composites based on polystyrene and its copolymer, the enthalpy of mixing is negative, whereas at a high content of the filler, this value is positive. The alternating-sign pattern of the concentration dependence of the enthalpy of mixing is interpreted in terms of the superposition of the negative contribution of the enthalpy of the interfacial-adhesion interaction of a polymer matrix with the filler and the positive contribution due to a gain in the level of nonequilibrium of the glassy matrix near the surface. A thermodynamic model that makes it possible to separate these contributions and to describe the experimental curves of the enthalpy of mixing for the composites is advanced.     

Capillary osmosis through porous partitions and properties of boundary layers of solutions

According to the theory of one of the authors, when the adsorption layer on a solid surface in contact with a solution is mobile, the gradient of concentration of the solution along the solid surface causes capillary-osmotic slip in addition to diffusional flow of the liquid. In the case of porous partitions separating solutions of different concentrations, slip along the pore walls causes convective transfer of the solution, i.e., capillary osmosis. A special unit has been constructed to study this phenomenon and the velocity of capillary-osmotic flow is measured with the aid of radioactive indicators. Formulas are derived for the arising capillary-osmotic flow of substance, making it possible, by introducing a correction for the diffusional flow, to calculate the velocity of capillary-osmotic slip.

There is usually on the surface of glass both a double layer due to the dissociated part of the solution, and an adsorption layer of the undissociated part of the solution. Thus, under real conditions there are flows due both to the double layer on the glass surface and to the mobile part of the adsorption layer of the undissociated part of the solution. Knowing the values of the capillary-osmotic slip and the zeta-potential, one can calculate which of these processes predominates. For this purpose capillary-osmotic flows through Shott filters of certain aqueous solutions and nonaqueous mixtures are measured simultaneously with their zeta-potentials, on the surface of Shott glass. It is shown that for these solutions the flows caused by the double layer at the glass surface are small compared to those due to the mobile part of the adsorption layer of the undissociated part of the solution.

Expressions are obtained for positive and negative adsorption of the undissociated part of the solution, relating the capillary-osmotic velocity to the constant of effective molecular attraction between the dissolved molecules and the glass.

Hence, the constants of molecular attraction between the molecules and the glass, and the average distance between the solute molecules and the plane of slip are calculated from experimental results for the solutions studied.

Thus, the experimental method and calculations proposed may be used for analyzing the structure of adsorption layers at solid-solution interfaces.     

Adsorption of gases,vapors and liquids in zeolites at high pressures

The linearity of adsorption isotherms, which is well preserved independently of the state of aggregation of the equilibrium phase, the absence of discontinuities on adsorption isotherms on passing into the region of the liquid state, and the considerable differences in the behavior of the temperature dependence of the densities of the adsorbate and of the substance adsorbed along the saturation line; all these facts indicate that the adsorbate in the micropores of zeolites is in a special state of aggregation. The linearity of the isosteres and the maxima on the curves for the specific heat of the adsorbate at constant pressure when its concentration in the cavities is high probably indicate the presence of phase transitions of the second kind of the adsorbed substance.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 507–511, March, 1990.     

On the contact conditions for the charge profile in the theory of the electrical double layer for nonsymmetrical electrolytes

In this paper, we generalize a recently derived expression of the contact value of the charge profile for the case of nonsymmetrical electrolytes. For the electrolytes with a single type of cation and anion, this relation can be presented as the sum of three contributions. One of them is the normal component of the Maxwell electrostatic stress tensor. The second one is the surface electrostatic property, which is defined as the integral of the product of the gradient of the electrical potential and the density distribution function of coions. The third term is the bulk contribution, which is defined by the sum for anions and for cations of the product of their charge and their partial pressure. For noncharged surfaces, only the last two terms are present and have the same sign in the case of size asymmetry. In the case of charge asymmetry, the contact value of the charge profile is the result of the competitions of bulk and surface terms in which the bulk term is dominant. Using both the contact theorems for the density and the charge profiles, the exact expressions for the contact values of the profiles of coions and counterions are obtained and some related properties are discussed. A semiempirical expression of the contact value of the charge profile is discussed in relation to our exact result.     

Adequacy and Inadequacy in the Metrology of Chemical Analysis

The adequacy (inadequacy) of samples to each other and reference materials to test samples is an important notion in the metrology of chemical analysis. However, the literature gives no strict definition for this notion. In this paper, it was proposed to determine adequacy based on the measure of inadequacy. For the case of two samples, the measure of inadequacy is the absolute value of the difference between the systematic errors of the results of analyses of the samples; it depends on the difference in the composition and properties of the samples. The measure of inadequacy of a standard reference material to a series of test samples is the maximum distance between the systematic error of the reference material and one of the quantiles of the systematic error distribution of the test samples Q(0.025); Q(0.975); the errors in this case are due to the composition and the properties of the test samples. The samples are considered adequate if the measure of inadequacy can be neglected compared to the normalized error of the analysis. Using the determination of total cholesterol in the blood serum of humans as an example, it was shown that the standard reference material in the analysis of samples of complex composition is often inadequate to test samples.     

Precautions a prendre dans l'emploi des thermobalances

Based on 25 years of experience of the pyrolysis of several thousands of inorganic and organic substances with. reference to gravimetric analysis, studies of volumetric standards and studies of solid-state reactions, the author attempts to explain the disagreements in results obtained by users of various models of thermobalances. These differences are traced to 10 main causes: the type of apparatus, the thermocouple, the nature of the substance involved, the weight of this substance, the rate of heating, the nature of the atmosphere around the crucible, the gas flow-rate in the furnace, the nature and shape of the crucible, the sensitivity of the recorder trace, and the nature and weight of the residue.     

Kinetics and mechanism of quaternization of tertiary phosphines with unsaturated carboxylic acids. Kinetic studies of the reactions in aprotic solvents

Data obtained while studying the kinetics of quaternization of tertiary phosphines with the unsaturated carboxylic acids in the series of aprotic solvents indicate the participation of a second molecule of acid playing the part of the external proton donor in this process. Quantitative analysis of the effect of solvent within the frames of the Koppel-Palm equation showed that the main contribution in the reaction rate belongs to the nucleophilicity of medium while the effects of polarity and electrophilicity are smaller. The results obtained suggest the step-by-step mechanism of interaction including the formation of the zwitterionic intermediate on the reaction pathway common for the solvents with different proton activity.     

Statistical Approach to the Description of Homogeneous Nucleation in the Vapor-Gas Medium: Effects of the Heat of Phase Transition

The effect of the heat release of phase transition is included in the formalism of the statistical approach in order to allow for the depletion of a substance comprising the metastable phase in the kinetics of the homogeneous nucleation of supersaturated vapor. The diffusion regime of the exchange of molecules between the vapor and the growing droplets is considered on the assumption of instantaneous creation of the initial vapor supersaturation. The time-dependent boundary condition on the surface of a sphere with a fixed radius and a center coinciding with the center of a growing droplet is used in the problem of heat conductivity that allowed us to provide the heat balance of phase transition. The main characteristics of the nucleation stage are calculated for the representative vapor-gas systems. It is shown that the allowance for the effects of the heat release of phase transition resulted in a rather notable change in the kinetics of nucleation even at a sufficiently high concentration of the passive gas.     

Electrophoresis of a spherical particle along the axis of a cylindrical pore filled with a Carreau fluid

The electrophoresis of a spherical particle along the axis of a cylindrical pore filled with a Carreau fluid is investigated theoretically. In addition to the boundary effect due to the presence of the pore, the influences of the thickness of double layer surrounding a particle and the properties of the fluid on the electrophoretic behavior of the particle are also examined. We show that, in general, the presence of the pore has the effect of retarding the movement of a particle. On the other hand, the shear-thinning nature of the liquid phase is advantageous to its movement. For both Newtonian and Carreau fluids, the mobility of a particle increases monotonically with the decrease in the thickness of double layer, but the mobility is more sensitive to the variation of the thickness of double layer in the latter. The mobility of a particle in a Carreau fluid is larger than that in the corresponding Newtonian fluid, and the difference between the two increases with the decrease in double-layer thickness; in addition, depending upon the values of the parameters assumed, the percentage difference can be in the order of 50%.     

The effect of synthesis conditions on the microheterogeneity of the butadiene-isoprene copolymer

The dependence of the microheterogeneity of butadiene-isoprene copolymers synthesized in the presence of a titanium-based catalytic system on the hydrodynamic regime used at the initial moment of formation of the reaction mixture of copolymerization is studied. When copolymers are synthesized with the direct addition of the catalyst to the solution of the comonomers, copolymers featuring a statistical distribution of units are formed, regardless of the composition of the initial comonomer mixture. In this case, the growth of copolymer chains obeys the Bernoulli statistics. Depending of the composition of the initial comonomer mixture, hydrodynamic factors promote different extents of deviation from the statistical growth of copolymer chains.
