The synthesis and some properties of nylon 4,T

The synthesis of nylon 4,T from tetramethylenediamine and a terephthalic acid derivative was studied in a two step-process: prepolymerization, followed by postcondensation in the solid state (4 h, 290°C). The prepolymers were prepared by the nylon salt method, ester polymerization method, interfacial method, and a low temperature solution method. A maximum η_inh of 1.52 was obtained. From a solution in trifluoroacetic acid, films were cast and on these films we studied its IR spectrum, WAXS, and melting behavior with DSC. A boiled up sample had a double melting transition at 434 and 475°C and a ΔH₀ of 130 J/g.     

Preparation and properties of some cardopolyamides

Several polyamides that contained cardo units were prepared. Thus 9,9-bis(4-aminophenyl)fluorene and 9,9-bis(4-aminophenyl)anthrone were condensed with 2,5-dimethyl-1,4-benzenediacetyl chloride, 2,4-dimethyl-1,4-benzendiacetyl chloride, and 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-benzediacetyl chloride. Lowtemperature solution polycondensation in dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) was used throughout. The polymers were obtained in 80–90% yield and possessed intrinisic viscosities in the range of 0.6–1.2. The polymers were characterized by infrared (IR) spectra and elemental analysis. The solubility, crystallinity, and thermal stability of the polyamides were also determined.

Preparation and some properties of nylon-4,2

An attempt was made to produce a new short-chain alphatic polyamide nylon-4,2. This polyoxamide can be prepared by polycondensation of tetramethylene diamine and diethyl oxalate. A high molecular weight polymer (η_inh = 1.9 from 0.5% solutions in 96% sulphuric acid) has been obtained by employing a two-step polycondensation method; the precondensation was carried out in solution at low temperatures (20–140°C) and the postcondensation in the solid state at high temperatures (250–300°C). The effect of solvent composition and reaction temperature on the prepolymerization and the effect of reaction time and temperature on the postcondensation was studied. We also investigated the influence of moisture during washing, storing, and the solid-state reaction on the polymerizability by the postcondensation. Nylon-4,2 is soluble only in highly polar solvents such as trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), dichloroacetic acid, and 96% sulphuric acid. Films were cast from TFA. With these films we studied the IR spectrum, WAXS pattern, water absorption, and melting behavior. Nylon-4,2 was found to melt at 388–392°C, has a crystallinity of 70%, and a low water absorption (3.1% at 50% RH). The glass transition temperature of the dry sample was found to be at ～120°C and for the wet sample at ?15°C.     

Application of the high-tension multiannealing to nylon 46 fibers

Nylon 46 fibers produced by the high-temperature zone-drawing treatment were treated by repeating high-tension annealing treatments, that is, a high-tension multiannealing (HTMA) treatment to improve their tensile properties. The HTMA treatment was carried out at a repetition time of 10 times and treating temperature of 110°C under high tension (538.2 MPa) close to the tensile strength at break. Although the HTMA treatment was carried out at 110°C, which is much lower than the crystallization temperature of 265°C for nylon 46, the degree of crystallinity increased up to 59%. The orientation factor of crystallites increased dramatically up to 0.949 by the first high-temperature zone-drawing treatment and slightly during the subsequent treatments. This observation indicated that the orientation of crystallites due to slippage among molecular chains did not occur during the HTMA treatment. The treatments shifted the melting peak to slightly higher temperatures, and the HTMA fiber has a melting endotherm peaking at 285°C. The fiber obtained finally had a storage modulus of 12.5 GPa at 25°C. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 36: 2737–2743, 1998     

Preparation and properties of some stable arsonium ylides

Stable crystalline arsonium ylides have been prepared by thermal decomposition of diazo compounds in the presence of triphenylarsine, and by condensation reactions of reactive methylene compounds with triphenylarsine oxide. The spectra of these ylides, and their reactions with benzaldehydes are discussed. Like other stabilised arsonium ylides they give alkenes rather than epoxides in Wittig reactions. They are generally more polar than their phosphonium analogues and also are more reactive in the Wittig reaction. With diphenylcyclopropenone some more reactive arsonium ylides form α-pyrones.     

Preparation and some properties of pyrimidine 1,3-dioxides

Oxidation of 1-hydroxy-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine 3-oxides with active manganese dioxide leads to pyrimidine 1,3-dioxides.

Synthesis and some structural data of nylon 18

The new polyamide nylon 18 was synthesized, mainly to investigate whether a rather large number of methylene groups in the monomeric unit might change the chain packing in comparison with that of lower even nylons. By X-ray diffraction measurements on a mono-oriented fibre, the following crystallographic parameters were found: $\text{a = 4.76}\text{A}\text{?}$; $\text{b = 9.52}\text{A}\text{?}$; $\text{c = 46.9}\text{A}\text{?}$ (fibre axis); γ = 120°. A γ-type packing for the chains was found, similar to that shown by other polyamides of the series.     

Preparation and some properties of a polyethyleneimine-agarose metal adsorbent

An adsorbent for metal ions has been prepared by reacting high molecular weight polyethyleneimine (PEI) with a crosslinked and activated agarose gel, Novarose. The synthesis variables, i.e. time, temperature, pH, PEI concentration and PEI/Novarose ratio, were optimized in order to obtain a high metal binding capacity of the adsorbent. The binding capacity for Cu(2+) is 500 micromol/ml packed adsorbent. A number of properties of the adsorbent relevant for metal ion accumulation has been investigated for Cu(2+), Ni(2+), Cd(2+) and Zn(2+). Adsorption capacities, adsorption isotherms, distribution coefficients, recoveries and relative rates of accumulation were determined. The adsorbent can be used for preconcentration and for separation of interfering alkali and alkaline earth metals in analytical applications.
