Mass spectra of linear and branched methyl(vinyl)siloxanes

The mass spectra of some linear and branched methyl(vinyl)siloxanes Me₃SiOSi(Me)(R)(OSiMeVin) _n Y (R=Vin, OSiMe₃; Y=OSiMe₃, Cl;n=0–2) were studied. The regularities of their fragmentation and an anomalously high probability of elimination of the ethylene molecule to form the stable 1,3-dioxa-2,4,6-trisilacyclohexane skeleton were revealed.

Generation and capture of alkylchlorosilanones

Alkyltrichlorosilanes react with DMSO (molar ratio 1 : 1 0 °C) to give cyclic oligoalkylchlorosiloxanes of the general formula [R(Cl)SiO] _n (where R=Me or Et;n=3–6). With an excess of alkyltrichlorosilane (2: 1), linear oligoalkylchlorosiloxanes Cl[R(Cl)SiO] _m SiCl₂R (where R=Me or Et;m=1–5) are also formed. In the presence of hexamethyldisiloxane (molar ratio Cl₃SiR : DMSO: (Me₃Si)₂O=1:1:2, 20 °C), the reaction products are both cyclic and linear oligoalkyl(trimethylsilyloxy)siloxanes [R(Me₃SiO)SiO] _n (n=3–5) and Me₃Si[OSi(OSiMe₃)R] _m OSiMe₃ (m=1–3), respectively. The reaction of DMSO with trichloro(vinyl)silane and hexamethyldisiloxane occurs in a similar manner. A plausible scheme of formation of the final products via intermediate alkylchlorosilanones RClSi=O and alkyl(trimethylsilyloxy)silanones is discussed. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Thermal and photochemical stability of poly(methyl methacrylate) and its blends with poly(vinyl acetate)

An investigation of the thermal stability of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends with poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) revealed that PVAc acts as a stabilizer as concerns thermal and photochemical degradation when the processes take place in air. The temperatures of decomposition of these blends are higher than that of pure PMMA. The efficiency of photodegradation and photooxidation in the blends is lower than that of pure PMMA.     

Radiation crosslinking and scission of poly(vinyl methyl ether) in aqueous solution

For a wide range of poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PMVE) concentrations (1–16 g dm⁻³), in anoxic conditions, polymer-derived radicals recombine in two major pathways: (i) crosslinking and (ii) disproportionation. Both these processes proceed inter- and intramolecularly. The radiation-chemical yields and kinetics of crosslinking have been studied by pulse radiolysis with light scattering intensity detection (LSI). In the absence of oxygen, G-values of intermolecular crosslinking were determined on the basis of LSI changes versus applied dose and compared with the results obtained previously for γ-irradiated samples. It has been found that the first half-life time of intermolecular crosslinking decreases with increasing dose per pulse. Addition of small amounts of macroradical scavenger (cysteamine hydrochloride) decreases, drastically, the increase of LSI signal. On increasing the PVME concentration, intermolecular crosslinking becomes more efficient.

In the presence of oxygen, for diluted PVME solution (0.1 g dm⁻³), decrease of LSI signal consisting of the kinetic of a first-order reaction was observed. The rate constant of LSI decrease was found to be 1.1×10³ s⁻¹ and it was attributed to the main-chain scission.     

Aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction of ethyl (arylimino)acetate with methyl vinyl ketone and ethyl vinyl ketone

Aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman (aza-MBH) reaction of ethyl (arylimino)acetate with methyl vinyl ketone and ethyl vinyl ketone has been investigated. We found that aza-MBH adducts 1 could be formed in the presence of DABCO (30 mol %) and the corresponding adducts 2 could be obtained in the presence of PPh₃ (30 mol %) in moderate to good yields in acetonitrile under mild conditions, respectively.     

Synthesis of bulky tris[(dimethyl(alkyl/aryl)silyl)methyl]stannanes as radical based reducing agents

The synthesis of novel bulky tris[dimethyl(ethyl/benzyl/p-tolyl/α-naphthyl)silylmethyl]stannanes (1-4) is described. Alkylation of SnCl₄ with Me₂(ethyl/p-tolyl)SiCH₂MgBr (10-11) gave mainly the triorganotin chlorides [(Me₂(ethyl/p-tolyl)SiCH₂)]₃SnCl 14 and 15, which were isolated by silica gel chromatography. Reduction of 14 and 15 with LiAlH₄ in THF gave the corresponding triorganotin hydrides 1 and 2, respectively. [Me₂(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH₂]₃SnCl 16 and 17, generated by the alkylation of SnCl₄ with Me₂(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH₂MgBr 12 and 13, were inseparable from the minor product [Me₂(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH₂]₂SnCl₂18 and 19, respectively. Treatment of the mixtures of 16/18 and 17/19 with NaOH furnished the corresponding mixtures of stannoxanes, from which the hexakisdistannoxanes [Me₂(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH₂]₆Sn₂O 20 and 22 were isolated from the minor dialkyltin oxide derivatives [Me₂(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH₂]₂SnO in good yields. Reduction of 20 and 22 with BH₃ in THF gave [Me₂(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH₂]₃SnH (3 and 4), respectively in good yields. ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn, ²⁹Si NMR characteristics of the newly synthesized compounds are included.     

Synthetic, spectroscopic and structural studies of two novel phosphanyl(organyl)borane compounds

The titanium (II) complex, Cp₂Ti(HBcat)₂, catalyzes the hydroboration of diphenylvinylphosphine by catecholborane and pinacolborane to afford exclusive anti-Markovnikov phosphanyl(organyl)boranes cleanly, rapidly and in good yields. Spectroscopic and X-ray studies of the phosphanyl(organyl)borane products show no evidence of boron-phosphorus interaction, indicating that the compounds preclude formation of Lewis pairs.

Miscibility of poly(vinyl methyl ether) and poly(styrene-co-2-vinylnaphthalene) blends by FT-IR spectroscopy and Tg measurements

Miscibility of blends consisting of poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) and poly(styreneco-2-vinylnaphthalene) [P(S-co-2VN)] was investigated by means of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and thermal analysis. Copolymers containing 21, 51, and 84 wt % of styrene were synthesized by radical polymerization. Based on optical clarity and glass transition temperatures, it was shown that the miscibility in P(S-co-2VN)/PVME blends is largely affected by compositions of the copolymers as well as concentrations of the blend. From the FT-IR results, the relative intensity at 1100 cm^?1 peak of COCH₃ band of PVME and the position of naphthyl ring of 2VN were sensitive to the miscibility of the blends. It was observed that blends of PVME with P(S-co-2VN) of 84 wt % styrene or P(S-co-2VN) of 51 wt % styrene are miscible over the entire concentration ranges of the blends. Blends of PVME with P(S-co-2VN) containing 21 wt % of styrene are immiscible below 65 wt % PVME. In the miscible P(S-co-2VN)/PVME blends, there was observed a large shift in the naphthyl frequency at a characteristic wavelength of 748 cm^?1. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Temperature-sensitive poly(vinyl methyl ether) hydrogel beads

Temperature-sensitive hydrogel beads were prepared by radiation crosslinking of poly(vinyl methyl ether) PVME spheres wrapped in Ca-alginate. The obtained gel beads have diameters in the sub-millimeter or millimeter range (depending on the PVME concentration). They were characterized by sol-gel analysis, swelling measurements, and differential scanning calorimetry. The gel content g increases with increasing radiation dose D. The swelling degree Q_v decreases with increasing PVME concentration c_p and increasing D. In comparison to PVME bulkgels the phase-transition temperature of the synthesized PVME gel beads is a little decreased.     

Conversion of solid poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleimide) to poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic anhydride)

Solid poly(methyl vinyl-alt-maleimide), when subjected to heating at 100°C while being vacuum pumped at 0.1 mm Hg pressure, was converted to a copolymer in which a substantial portion of the imide groups were converted to anhydride groups. Similarly, heating at 100°C at atmospheric pressure in a circulating air oven brought about the same reaction but at a faster rate. This confirms the hypothesis that the formation of maleic anhydride comonomer units from poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-ammonium maleamate) not only proceeds directly by ring closure of amic acid formed by loss of ammonia but probably also includes, as a parallel pathway, hydrolysis by atmospheric moisture of maleimide comonomer units.

Dynamic modification of poly(methyl methacrylate) chips using poly(vinyl alcohol) for glycosaminoglycan disaccharide isomer separation

We describe a microchip electrophoresis (MCE) method for the assay of unsaturated disaccharides of chondroitin sulfates, dermatan sulfates, and hyaluronic acid (HA). Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) could be irreversibly adsorbed onto poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrates and this approach was applicable for dynamic coating. The characteristics of the PMMA surface with PVA coating were evaluated in terms of the wettability, EOF, and adsorption of 2-aminoacridone (AMAC)-labeled disaccharide. The water contact angle decreased from 73 degrees on a pristine PMMA surface to 37.5 degrees on a PVA-coated surface, indicating that the PVA coating increased hydrophilicity. EOF was reduced approximately twofold and was relatively stable. Scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence microscopy images showed that adsorption of AMAC-labeled disaccharides was dramatically suppressed. Using the PVA coating, baseline separation of two pairs of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) disaccharide isomers, DeltaDi-diS(B)/DeltaDi-diS(D) and DeltaDi-0S/DeltaDi-HA, was achieved in Tris-borate buffer within 130 s by MCE.     

Heat capacity of poly(vinyl methyl ether)

The heat capacity of poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) has been measured using adiabatic calorimetry and temperature‐modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC). The heat capacity of the solid and liquid states of amorphous PVME is reported from 5 to 360 K. The amorphous PVME has a glass transition at 248 K (?25 °C). Below the glass transition, the low‐temperature, experimental heat capacity of solid PVME is linked to the vibrational molecular motion. It can be approximated by a group vibration spectrum and a skeletal vibration spectrum. The skeletal vibrations were described by a general Tarasov equation with three Debye temperatures Θ₁ = 647 K, Θ₂ = Θ₃ = 70 K, and nine skeletal modes. The calculated and experimental heat capacities agree to better than ±1.8% in the temperature range from 5 to 200 K. The experimental heat capacity of the liquid rubbery state of PVME is represented by C_p(liquid) = 72.36 + 0.136 T in J K^?1 mol^?1 and compared to estimated results from contributions of the same constituent groups of other polymers using the Advanced Thermal AnalysiS (ATHAS) Data Bank. The calculated solid and liquid heat capacities serve as baselines for the quantitative thermal analysis of amorphous PVME with different thermal histories. Also, knowing C_p of the solid and liquid, the integral thermodynamic functions of enthalpy, entropy, and free enthalpy of glassy and amorphous PVME are calculated with help of estimated parameters for the crystal. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Exfoliated poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene nanocomposites occur when the clay cation contains a vinyl monomer

The bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate and styrene in the presence of an organically modified clay containing a vinyl group that can be involved in the polymerization produces exfoliated nanocomposites. These nanocomposites have been characterized by X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, mechanical properties, and cone calorimetry. The onset temperature of thermal degradation increases with the mechanical properties. The peak heat release rate is significantly reduced for nanocomposites containing 3 or 5% clay. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 41: 1124–1135, 2003     

Investigation at the chain segmental level of the miscibility of poly(vinyl chloride)/atactic poly(methyl methacrylate) blends

We employed high‐resolution ¹³C cross‐polarization/magic‐angle‐spinning/dipolar‐decoupling NMR spectroscopy to investigate the miscibility and phase behavior of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends. The spin–lattice relaxation times of protons in both the laboratory and rotating frames [T₁(H) and T_1ρ(H), respectively] were indirectly measured through ¹³C resonances. The T₁(H) results indicate that the blends are homogeneous, at least on a scale of 200–300 Å, confirming the miscibility of the system from a differential scanning calorimetry study in terms of the replacement of the glass‐transition‐temperature feature. The single decay and composition‐dependent T_1ρ(H) values for each blend further demonstrate that the spin diffusion among all protons in the blends averages out the whole relaxation process; therefore, the blends are homogeneous on a scale of 18–20 Å. The microcrystallinity of PVC disappears upon blending with PMMA, indicating intimate mixing of the two polymers. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Separation and kinetic study of chromium(III) chloro complexes by capillary electrophoresis

Summary Three Cr(III) species (dichlorotetraaquachromium (III), [CrCl₂(H₂O)₄]⁺; monochloropentaaquachromium(III), [CrCl(H₂O)₅]²⁺; and hexaaquachromium(III), [Cr(H₂O)₆]³⁺) have been separated and determined by capillary electrophoresis. The first two complexes could be detected in direct mode in phosphate buffer, but because the absorption of complex [Cr(H₂O)₆]³⁺ is poor in the UV range, indirect UV detection had to be used. For indirect detection 5 mM imidazole was added to the buffer solution. The formation and decomposition of the different Cr(III) complexes were monitored in time after the preparation of solutions of CrCl₃.6H₂O. The slowest process was the decomposition of [CrCl(H₂O)₅]²⁺; 300 h after preparation of a solution of CrCl₃.6H₂O of pH 1 the solution contained only [Cr(H₂O)₆]³⁺. The effects of pH and the content of some matrix ions on the rates of conversion of the complexes were studied. The kinetic characteristics of this complex system could be investigated adequately by means of capillary electrophoresis.

Radiation effects on the thermal degradation of poly(vinyl chloride) and poly(vinyl alcohol)

Radiation effects on the formation of conjugated double bonds in the thermal degradation of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were investigated. Thin films of PVC and PVA were either irradiated with γ-rays at ambient temperature (pre-irradiation) and then subjected to thermal treatment, or irradiated at elevated temperatures (in situ irradiation). An extensive enhancement of the thermal degradation was observed for the pre-irradiation of the PVC films, which was more effective than the effect of the in situ irradiation at the same absorption dose. For the PVA degradation, however, the effect of the in situ irradiation was larger than that of the pre-irradiation. The results were explained and related mechanisms were discussed based on radiation-induced chemical reactions and their individual contributions to the thermal degradation behaviors of the two polymers. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
