Phase-Separation Phenomena of Copolymer Solutions and Fractionation of Copolymers by Chemical Composition

Precipitation temperature-total polymer concentration diagrams for toluene solutions of two styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers different in chemical composition and their mixtures were determined and then triangular phase diagrams of this system were constructed from these diagrams. It is speculated from the triangular phase diagrams and experimentally shown that the copolymer may be effectively fractionated by chemical composition in this system.     

Chemical Composition Distribution of Multicomponent Copolymers

The number and weight chemical composition distributions in random terpolymers were derived using a statistical approach. The solution was then generalized to comprise higher multicomponent copolymers. The analytical solution was verified with Monte Carlo simulations and by considering limiting cases. Chemical composition distributions for fractions of random terpolymers of various kinetic chain lengths were also investigated. In a similar way to the results for binary copolymers described by Stockmayer's distribution, broadening of the distribution is observed for low‐molecular‐weight chains.

Thermodynamic Relationship for Fractionation of Ternary Copolymers

ABSTRACT

Thermodynamic equations for fractionation of terpolymers were derived, and from them it was obvious that triple or dual cross-fractionation should be carried out to determine the distributions of chemical composition and molecular weight of terpolymers.     

Melting Point and Composition Distribution of Polyolefins by Fractionation

The fractionation technique described in this paper was used to characterize the melting-point, monomer, and blocking distributions for polymers and copolymers. It is different from the molecular-weight fractionation technique in that the fractions are obtained by using a single solvent to extract the solid polymer below its melting point at stepwise-increasing temperatures. The reproducibility of this technique is excellent, and the technique is sufficient to distinguish pellet-to-pellet variation in a commercially available polypropylene. It was used to show the influence of preparation variables on the melting-point distributions of polyethylene and polypropylene and on the monomer and blocking distribution of copolymers, and to distinguish copolymers from blends.

Gundelia tournefortii: Fractionation,Chemical Composition and GLUT4 Translocation Enhancement in Muscle Cell Line

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disease, which could affect the daily life of patients and increase their risk of developing other diseases. Synthetic anti-diabetic drugs usually show severe side effects. In the last few decades, plant-derived drugs have been intensively studied, particularly because of a rapid development of the instruments used in analytical chemistry. We tested the efficacy of Gundelia tournefortii L. (GT) in increasing the translocation of glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) to the myocyte plasma membrane (PM), as a main strategy to manage T2D. In this study, GT methanol extract was sub-fractionated into 10 samples using flash chromatography. The toxicity of the fractions on L6 muscle cells, stably expressing GLUTmyc, was evaluated using the MTT assay. The efficacy with which GLUT4 was attached to the L6 PM was evaluated at non-toxic concentrations. Fraction 6 was the most effective, as it stimulated GLUT4 translocation in the absence and presence of insulin, 3.5 and 5.2 times (at 250 μg/mL), respectively. Fraction 1 and 3 showed no significant effects on GLUT4 translocation, while other fractions increased GLUT4 translocation up to 2.0 times. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry of silylated fractions revealed 98 distinct compounds. Among those compounds, 25 were considered anti-diabetic and glucose disposal agents. These findings suggest that GT methanol sub-fractions exert an anti-diabetic effect by modulating GLUT4 translocation in L6 muscle cells, and indicate the potential of GT extracts as novel therapeutic agents for T2D.

Simulation of Crystallization Analysis Fractionation (Crystaf) of Linear Olefin Block Copolymers

Summary: Linear olefin block copolymers (OBCs) have microstructures that are unique among polyolefins and exhibit properties that are different from those of other polyolefin elastomers. Characterizing their chain microstructures is a challenging task, as conventional characterization techniques cannot probe directly block length distribution or composition. In this work, we used a Monte Carlo model to predict the microstructure details of OBCs and a modified version of the Crystaf model previously developed in our groups to describe theoretical Crystaf profiles for model OBCs. This model can be used as a tool to interpret Crystaf results of these interesting new polyolefins and to relate them to OBC microstructures. Effects of polymerization parameters on OBC microstructure and Crystaf profiles were also discussed.

Chemical Composition and Structure of Thin Films Produced by Chemical Vapor Deposition

This paper reports results from studies of the chemical composition and structure of semiconducting, dielectric, and metallic films produced from molecular precursors by the chemical vapor deposition method. A study was made of films of zinc sulfides, mixed copper, cadmium, and zinc sulfides, boron nitride, carbonitride, silicon carbonitride, and iridium films. It is shown that the use of metal compounds with different ligands (zinc and manganese) enables production of zinc sulfide films in which manganese ions are uniformly incorporated into the zinc sulfide crystal lattice to substitute zinc at the lattice sites. For the films of simple and mixed cadmium, copper, and zinc sulfides, the film structure depends on the type of substrate. The thin layers of mixed cadmium and zinc sulfides are asubstitution solution with a hexagonal structure. The thin layers of boron nitride produced from borazine exhibit a nanocrystalline structure and are a mixture of cubic and hexagonal phases. Composite layers were produced from alkylamine boranes and their mixtures with ammonia. Depending on synthesis conditions, the layers are mixtures of hexagonal boron nitride, carbide, and carbonitride or pure boron nitride. Using silyl derivatives of asymmetric dimethylhydrazine containing Si—N and C—N bonds in the starting molecule, we produced silicon carbonitride films whose crystal habit belongs to a tetragonal structure with lattice parameters a = 9.6 and c = 6.4 . The iridium films obtained by thermal decomposition of iridium trisacetylacetonate(III) on quartz substrates in the presence of hydrogen have a polycrystalline structure with crystallite sizes of 50 to 500 . A method for determining grainsize composition was proposed, and grain shapes for the iridium films were analyzed. The influence of substrate temperature on the internal microstructure and growth of the iridium films is demonstrated. At the iridium–substrate interface, a transition layer forms, whose composition depends on the substrate material and deposition conditions.     

Controlled Composition in Emulsion Copolymerization Application to Butadiene-Acrylonitrile Copolymers

Abstract

The use of gas chromatographic analysis of the actual monomer mixture at fixed time intervals to monitor the composition of copolymers in emulsion copolymerization has been described previously. The design has been now improved by the insertion of a dilution cell to avoid flocculation problems in the loop carrying the reaction medium from the reactor to the injection kit of the chromatograph. Then the copolymerization can be monitored up to completion. This system has been applied to the copolymerization of butadiene and acrylonitrile, and constant composition runs have been compared to the batch. Two main differences are observed. (1) Constant composition copolymers show a unique glass transition interval of limited width instead of two or at least one broad temperature interval for the copolymer produced in batch. (2) In the monitored copolymerizations, the production of insoluble gels is delayed and sometimes totally avoided. The production of the gels is related to the formation of 1,2-butadiene units which appear to be preferentially present in long sequences of butadiene units. The cross-linking process involves the consumption of the pendent vinyl groups by copolymerization with the monomers.

Simultaneous Deconvolution of Molecular Weight Distribution and Chemical Composition Distribution of Ethylene/1-Olefin Copolymers Synthesized with Multiple-Site-Type Catalytic Systems

Summary: Ethylene/1-olefin copolymers synthesized with multiple-site-type catalytic systems typically exhibit broad molecular weight distribution (MWD) and chemical composition distribution (CCD). These microstrucral characteristics can be described by the presence of several active site types, each of which produces chains with distinct chain microstructures. In this work, a new approach to identify the number of active site types and chain microstructures produced on each active site type was developed based on simultaneous deconvolution of the bivariate MWD/CCD information. Chain microstructures produced on each active site type are assumed to follow Stockmayer's bivariate distribution. The proposed approach was validated with simulated data of model ethylene/1-butene and ethylene/1-octene copolymers.     

Fractionation and Chemical Analysis of Urban Air Particulate Extracts

Abstract

Urban air samples were collected using Hi-Vol PM₁₀ samplers during 24 hours periods. Samples were collected from October 1993 to September 1994 both in Teplice and Prachatice and from October 1996 to April 1997 in Teplice, CR. Organic material (EOM) was extracted from filters with methylene chloride in a Soxhlet apparatus. Acid base partitioning of the crude extract was carried out and neutral compounds were further fractionated by silica gel column chromatography. More than one hundred and seventy compounds were identified by GC-MS in the fractions. Levels of PAHs and the distribution profile was similar at both sampling locations. Higher concentrations of PAHs, nitro-PAHs, polycyclic aromatic ketones and organic acids and bases were observed in winter period when the fuel consumption for home heating is high.
