Preparation of poly(methyl methacrylate) and copolymers having enhanced thermal stabilities using sucrose-based comonomers and additives

A series of methyl methacrylate polymers have been prepared containing sucrose-based crosslinkers and additives. Thermogravimetry and long-term aging studies at 200°C show that sucrose-based alkyl and allyl ethers provide unprecedented thermal stability to linear, as well as crosslinked, poly (methyl methacrylate) or PMMA. Linear PMMA and PMMA crosslinked with trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) both degrade at 284°C. PMMA containing octa-O-crotylsucrose (1 mol %) degraded at 322°C. Depending on concentration, PMMA containing octa-O-allylsucrose (0.1-1.0 mol % and higher) degraded between 334 and 354°C, and PMMA containing 1′,6,6′-trimethacryloyl-2,3,3′,4,4′-penta-O-methylsucrose (0.1-1.0 mol %) degraded between 309 and 320°C. PMMA containing (1 mol % each) sucrose-based esters, ester-ether derivatives, all degraded at or below the degradation temperature of pure PMMA. Long-term air aging studies revealed that PMMA containing penta-O-methylsucrose trimethacrylate, octa-O-allylsucrose, and octa-O-crotylsucrose did not flow or sag after heating for 24 h at 200°C, but the polymers did show yellowing. While linear and crosslinked samples of PMMA containing compounds other than sucrose ethers lost more than 50% of their original weight within 15 h at 200°C, PMMA containing sucrose-based ethers lost about 8 and 20% of their original weight after 1 and 8.5 days, respectively. Herein we propose a unique mechanism by which saccharide ethers may be imparting this unprecedented thermal stabilization to PMMA. While tertiary hydrogens alpha to oxygens in saccharide ethers are stable to chain transfer during normal polymerization temperatures, they readily chain transfer at 200°C where PMMA is unstable. Chain transfer of these hydrogens is followed by fragmentation to produce alkyl, allyl or crotyl radicals, which combine with the macroradicals and terminate depropagation. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and properties of novel polyurethanes containing 3,4‐dioxybenzylidenecyanoacetate group as a nonlinear optical chromophore

Methyl 3,4‐di‐(2′‐hydroxyethoxy)benzylidenecyanoacetate ( 3 ) was prepared by hydrolysis of methyl 3,4‐di‐(2′‐vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenecyanoacetate ( 2 ). Diol 3 was condensed with 2,4‐toluenediisocyanate, 3,3′‐dimethoxy‐4,4′‐biphenylenediisocyanate, and 1,6‐hexamethylenediisocyanate to yield polyurethanes 4 – 6 containing the nonlinear optical chromophore 3,4‐dioxybenzylidenecyanoacetate. The resulting polyurethanes 4 – 6 were soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone and dimethylformamide. Polymers 4 – 6 indicated thermal stability up to 300 °C in thermogravimetric thermograms with glass‐transition temperature values obtained from differential scanning calorimetric thermograms in the range of 78–102 °C. The second‐harmonic generation coefficients (d₃₃) of the poled polymer films were around 6.9 × 10^?9 esu. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 40: 1742–1748, 2002     

High levels of soluble herpes virus entry mediator in sera of patients with allergic and autoimmune diseases

Herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM) is a newly discovered member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily that has a role in herpes simplex virus entry, in T cell activation and in tumor immunity. We generated mAb against HVEM and detected soluble HVEM (SHVEM) in the sera of patients with various autoimmune diseases. HVEM was constitutively expressed on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, CD19(+) B cells, CD14(+) monocytes, neutrophils and dendritic cells. In three-way MLR, mAb 122 and 139 were agonists and mAb 108 had blocking activity. An ELISA was developed to detect sHVEM in patient sera. sHVEM levels were elevated in sera of patients with allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis and rheumatoid arthritis. The mAbs discussed here may be useful for studies of the role of HVEM in immune responses. Detection of soluble HVEM might have diagnostic and prognostic value in certain immunological disorders.     

A Novel Carbon Nanotube-Supported NiP Amorphous Alloy Catalyst and Its Hydrogenation Activity

A carbon nanotube-supported NiP amorphous catalyst (NiP/CNT) was prepared by induced reduction. Benzene hydrogenation was used as a probe reaction for the study of catalytic activity. The effects of the support on the activity and thermal stability of the supported catalyst were discussed based on various characterizations, including XRD, TEM, ICP, XPS, H2-TPD, and DTA. In comparison with the NiP amorphous alloy, the benzene conversion on NiP/CNT catalyst was lower, but the specific activity of NiP/CNT was higher, which is attributed to the dispersion produced by the support, an electron-donating effect, and the hydrogen-storage ability of CNT. The NiP/CNT thermal stability was improved because of the dispersion and electronic effects and the good heat-conduction ability of the CNT support.

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of azides with electron-deficient alkynes under mild condition in water

We report a simple synthetic protocol for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides with electron-deficient alkynes. Alkyne with at least one neighboring electron-withdrawing group proceeds with the cycloaddition successfully without any catalysts at room temperature in water. Under this simple condition, we evaluated a series of small molecule model reactions and then coupled an azido-DNA molecule with electron-deficient alkynes for the formation of [1,2,3]-triazole heterocycle, providing a potential method for introducing functional groups to DNA under biological conditions.
