Conformation of poly(methacrylic acid) in alcohol–water mixtures. III. Dependence on molecular weight

Poly(methacrylic acid) has been studied in 0.002N HCl–ethanol mixtures as a function of molecular weight. A different dependence on molecular weight is noted at different alcohol concentrations. Since the intrinsic viscosity passes through a series of extrema with changes in alcohol concentration, the dependence on molecular weight has been considered in two regions of alcohol concentration in particular. The region of the first minimum and the region of the second minimum (or overall maximum). In the region of the first minimum, intrinsic viscosity is proportional to M^½, just as in 0.002N HCl. The Huggins coefficient k′ is large (ca. 60) but drops to about 10 when the molecular weight exceeds 320,000. In the region of the second minimum the dependence on molecular weight is complex. Intrinsic viscosity is proportional to molecular weight both at low and at high molecular weight and thus indicates freely draining structures. There is a conformational contraction, however, at molecular weight about 320,000 leading from one type of structure to the other. The structure at higher molecular weight may involve a specially strong bond between specifically grouped segments in the chain. The positions of the extrema along the alcohol concentration axis are not molecular weight dependent, particularly above 320,000. Results available for molecular weight dependence in methanol agree well with this picture. The present results confirm prediction inherent in the model of Silberberg and Priel and Silberberg.     

Effect of Molecular Weight on the Properties of Poly（butylene succinate）

Poly（butylene succinate） （PBS） with different molecular weight was synthesized from 1, 4-butanediol and succinic acid by direct melt condensation. The synthesized PBS was identified by IH-NMR and FTIR spectrometry. The molecular weight was calculated from the intrinsic viscosity, and its value was between 20000 and 70000. The crystallization behavior and crystal morphology as function of molecular weight were investigated by DSC and PLM, respectively. The mechanical properties and hydrolytic degradation behaviors related with change of molecular weight were also studied in this work. The results demonstrated that the properties of PBS were determined by both molecular weight and crystallization properties （crystallinity as well as crystal morphology）. Our work is important for the design and preparation of PBS with proper molecular weight for its practical application.     

Protamine neutralisation of low molecular weight heparins and their oligosaccharide components

Protamine sulphate is an effective inhibitor of heparin and is used clinically to neutralise both low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) and unfractionated heparin (UFH). However, protamine sulphate does not fully counter the anti-Xa effect of LMWH, even in excess (>40 μg to 1 IU/ml). To investigate the molecular basis for this observation, the residual potencies in the presence and absence of plasma as well as the molecular weight profiles of commercial LMWH neutralised with increasing amounts of protamine were measured. Materials over 5000 Da are preferentially neutralised by protamine. To further investigate this molecular weight dependence, monodisperse oligosaccharides were prepared from three commercial LMWHs. The specific anti-Xa activity for the fractions increased with molecular weight, and was found to vary between the three preparations for oligosaccharides of the same molecular weight. Our results indicate that protamine sulphate neutralisation is largely dependent on molecular weight, leading to the implication that LMWHs containing a larger proportion of small oligosaccharides will not be as effectively neutralised. Protamine sulphate neutralisation of any given LMWH is also affected by the specific anticoagulant activities of its low molecular weight components, which varies between LMWH products, presumably with the method of manufacture.     

Influence of molecular weight and polydispersity on phase behaviour of polyesters with laterally fixed or cross-shaped mesogens

To supplement previous studies of polyesters with laterally attached and cross-shaped mesogens the influence of molecular weight and molecular weight distribution on the phase behaviour has been investigated. For that purpose two polyesters have been fractionated by preparative gel permeation chromatography under high pressure and observed by polarizing microscopy and DSC measurements. A monotropic nematic polyester with laterally attached mesogens shows changing phase transitions up to a molecular weight of 10 000 (M_w); at higher molecular weight only the clearing transition is still slightly influenced. The molecular weight distribution at an average molecular weight of 15 000 (M_w) has no influence on the melting and clearing temperatures, but does effect recrystallization. The tendency to recrystallize decreases with increasing polydispersity, with increasing aberration from a monomodal molecular weight distribution. The recrystallization and the melting enthalpy are most distinguished at molecular weights around 12 000 (M_w) and crystallization disappears at molecular weights under about 5000 (M_w). In this way, fractions with stable nematic phases are obtained. Additionally, the broadness of the biphasic region shows a distinct dependence on molecular weight. Clearing temperatures show the most significant dependence on the molecular weight of an enantiotropic polyester with crossshaped mesogens dropping significantly below a molecular weight of about 20 000 (M_w). Oligomers with molecular weights below 10 000 (M_w) do not exhibit a mesophase. Polyesters with laterally attached mesogens as well as with crossshaped mesogens show no new liquid-crystalline phases by varying the molecular weight or the molecular weight distribution.     

Viscoelastic properties of blends of “entangled” polymers

The effect of molecular weight distribution on the viscoelastic properties of “entangled” polymers has been examined with blends of narrowly distributed polystyrene and broadly distributed polydimethylsiloxane. It is shown that blending laws established for nonentangled polymers do not apply to high molecular weight systems. The steady-state shear compliance of a blend is examined as a function of its molecular weight and the molecular weight of its components, and an approximation is given for the longtime viscoelastic response of entangled blends.

Organometallic polymers. XXV. Preparation of polyvinylferrocene

The synthetic details of solution polymerization in benzene and bulk polymerization of vinylferrocene are reported. In benzene solutions, with azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator, small yields of low-polydispersity low molecular weight (M?_n ? 5000) polyvinylferrocene is obtained. However, high yields can be obtained by continuous or multiple AIBN addition. Higher molecular weight polymers and binodal polymers can be obtained as the monomer concentration is increased. In bulk polymerizations, yields of 80% can be obtained. The molecular weight increases as temperature decreases from 80 to 60°C in bulk polymerizations, and an increasing amount of insoluble polymer results. The soluble portion is often binodal, the higher molecular weight node consisting of an increasingly branched structure. Lower molecular weight polymer was readily fractionated into narrow fractions from benzene–methanol systems, but higher molecular weight polymer proved impossible to fractionate into narrow fractions due to branching.

Gel permeation chromatography: On the shape of the calibration plot and molecular size separability

Data obtained from the calibration of GPC columns of different permeabilities with standard polystyrenes are reported. For single columns the logarithm molecular weight–elution volume plot is linear for approximately one and one-half decades in molecular weight. GPC separations are such that the separability of two samples of similar molecular weight improves as their mean molecular weight decreases. Because of this the analysis of high molecular weight polymers can best be accomplished on a series of columns in which each column has a high permeability limit. The elution volume for columns in series is shown to be the sum of the elution volumes of the individual columns. As higher molecular weights are eluted a pronounced tailing effect is observed.

Evaluation of field desorption mass spectrometry for the analysis of polyethylene

Field desorption mass spectrometry (FD-MS) has been evaluated for the analysis of low molecular weight polyethylene by using samples in the molecular weight range 600–2000 u as determined by gel permeation chromatography. The repeat units and end groups were characterized by FD-MS, but it was demonstrated that accurate molecular weight distribution data cannot be obtained for polyethylene by FD-MS because there is mass discrimination against the higher molecular weight polymers.     

Characterization of high molecular weight polyethylenes using high temperature asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation with on-line infrared, light scattering, and viscometry detection

High temperature asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (HTAF4) coupled to infrared (IR), multi-angle light scattering (MALS), and viscometry (Visc) detection is introduced as a tool for the characterization of high molecular weight polyethylenes. The high molecular weight fraction strongly affects the rheological behaviour and processability of polyethylene materials and can often not be accurately resolved by current technology such as high temperature size-exclusion chromatography (HTSEC). Molecular weight (M), radius of gyration (Rg), and intrinsic viscosity [eta] of linear high density polyethylene (HDPE) and branched low density polyethylene (LDPE) samples are studied in detail by HTAF4 and are compared to HTSEC. HTAF4 showed a better separation and mass recovery than HTSEC for very high molecular weight fractions in HDPE and LDPE samples. As no stationary phase is present in an HTAF4 channel, the technique does not show the typical drawbacks associated with HTSEC analysis of high molecular weight polyethylenes, such as, exclusion effects, shear degradation, and anomalous late elution of highly branched material. HTAF4 is applied to study the relation between the molecular weight and the zero shear viscosity eta0 for high molecular weight HDPE. It was found that the zero shear viscosity values predicted from HTAF4 results are in good qualitative agreement with measured values obtained from dynamic mechanical spectroscopy (DMS) experiments, whereas eta0 values predicted from HTSEC do not show a strong correlation. The low molecular weight cutoff of HTAF4 is approximately 5x10(4) as a result of relatively large pores in the HTAF4 channel membrane. HTAF4 is, therefore, currently not suited to analyze low molecular weight materials.     

Concentration effects in gel-permeation chromatography

Peak elution volume in gel-permeation analysis of polymers depends on sample concentration as well as molecular weight. Elution volume is related to the logarithm of the hydrodynamic volume of the solvated polymer species. The hydrodynamic volume of a given species is, in turn, inversely related to the concentration. Since molecular weight and concentration are interacting variables, the elution volume–molecular weight relation is not uniquely determined. A model is presented which accounts quantitatively for concentration effects, using parameters which are available a priori. The data required are polymer molecular weight, concentration, and density and the Mark-Houwink relation for the particular polymer-solvent combination.     

Partitioning of polystyrene between incompatible phases and distributional effects in the system polystyrene–polybutadiene–toluene

The average molecular weights and the molecular weight distributions of polystyrene (PS) in the conjugate incompatible phases of the ternary system of PS and polybutadiene with toluene as solvent were studied at 23°C. Gelpermeation chromatography, with ultraviolet and differential refractive index detectors, was used for analyzing the compositions of the conjugate phases and for obtaining the molecular weight averages of PS in the phases. Both narrow and broad molecular weight distribution (MWD) polymer samples were used. The effect of broad MWD polymers is seen as one of narrowing the shape of the binodal, thus effectively increasing the compatible region. The molecular weight averages of PS in the two conjugate phases do not vary significantly in the case of the narrow MWD PS sample while for broad MWD samples the average molecular weight of PS is found to be higher in the PS-rich phase than in the polybutadiene-rich phase for tie lines closer to the plait point indicating a partitioning or redistribution of the molecular weight species of PS between the incompatible phases.     

Low-density polyethylene: Variation of branching frequency with molecular weight and its influence on molecular weight as determined by gel-permeation chromatography

A method for determining long-chain branching frequency and molecular weight averages for unfractionated low-density polyethylene (LDPE) by the combined use of gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) and intrinsic viscosity data has been reported (GPC–IV method). The method assumes that the number of long branches λ per unit molecular weight is a constant independent of molecular weight. Recent data reported on λ as a function of molecular weight M in commercial LDPE indicate that this assumption is not generally valid, and concern has been expressed as to the size of the errors in molecular weights calculated using this assumption. The errors associated with assuming that λ is constant were evaluated in this study by first determining the way in which λ varies with M for two typical commerical LDPE resins by fractionation and application of the GPC–IV method to representative fractions. The experimentally determined relations between λ and M were then employed in the calculation of molecular weight and molecular size averages from GPC–IV data on the original unfractonated samples. Although it was found that λ increases with molecular weight for both samples, the results indicate that the error involved in assuming that λ is a constant is no greater than the precision with which molecular weight averages can be evaluated by GPC.     

Proton magnetic resonance studies of the phase structure of bulk-crystallized linear polyethylene

The broad-line proton NMR spectra of melt-crystallized samples of polyethylene covering a very wide range in molecular weight have been analyzed in terms of contributions from three components: (1) a crystalline region with crystals of orthorhombic form; (2) a noncrystalline region with liquid-like character which produces a Lorentzian contribution to the spectrum; and (3) an intermediate region in which the rotation of methylene groups about C—C bonds is partly hindered. The relative mass fractions as well as the character of these components depend greatly on the molecular weight. Samples of low molecular weight (e.g., ?30,000) are predominantly composed of lamellar crystalline regions with a minor amount of interfacial regions and no liquid-like interzonal regions. As the molecular weight increases beyond 45,000, an interzonal region with a liquid-like character associated with a higher molecular mobility is produced. Above a molecular weight of 100,000, this liquid-like character becomes pronounced with an increase in molecular mobility in the interfacial region.     

Microemulsion Polymerization: An Undergraduate Experiment in the Synthesis of Nanosized Polystyrene Particles

The synthesis of polystyrene nanoparticles through microemulsion polymerization is presented as an undergraduate advanced organic laboratory exercise. The resultant polymers molecular weight and particle size are studied as a function of monomer and initiator concentration. A comparison of cationic vs. anionic surfactants, and their effects on the polymer produced through microemulsion polymerization are also investigated. A direct relationship is observed between molecular weight and monomer concentration. A direct relationship is also found for the particle size of the latex produced. An inverse relationship is observed for molecular weight and particle size as the initiator concentration was raised. Comparison of molecular weight and latex size for cationic and anionic surfactants demonstrates that the anionic surfactant produces both a higher molecular weight and a larger latex size over the entire monomer and initiator concentration ranges.     

Tailoring MWD of Bimodal Polyethylene in the Presence of Ziegler-Natta Catalyst

Summary: Linear poly (ethylene-co-1-butene) was produced through two-step polymerization in one reactor using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst, where in the first step, low molecular weight homopolymer of ethylene in the presence of hydrogen and in the next step, high molecular weight copolymer of ethylene with 1-butene in the absence of hydrogen were produced. Molecular weight distribution of bimodal polyethylene was tailored through adjustment of polymerization time of each stage and hydrogen concentration of the first stage. Increasing hydrogen concentration shifted the molecular weight distribution curve to the lower molecular weights and broadened molecular weight distribution while interestingly increased high molecular weight incorporation of copolymer produced in the second stage due to increasing of reaction rate in the second step. To achieve bimodal molecular weight distribution, the polymerization times of the first and the second steps, which are highly dependent on the amount of hydrogen, were adjusted properly. The effects of the mentioned parameters on the processability as well as rheological properties of some samples were investigated. The rheological results showed shear thinning behavior of all specimens and confirmed the changes in molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. It was also demonstrated that the melt miscibility between low molecular weight and high molecular weight fractions improved with increasing of chains having very low molecular weight.
