Crystallization of filled nylon 6 III. Non-isothermal crystallization

Summary DSC data on crystallization kinetics from the melt at different cooling rates of nylon 6 containing various amonts of untreated and surface-treated fillers, were analyzed in terms of a modified Kolmogorov-Avrami equation. It was established that mechanism of crystallinity development in molten nylon 6 does not change appreciably in presence of aminosilane-treated glass beads and small amounts of untreated glass beads, whereas time exponentn was found to decrease with increasing filler content in samples containing untreated glass beads and Aerosil. On the other hand, dependence of temperature of the onset of crystal nucleation on cooling rate obeyedm = 2 law for pure nylon 6 and samples containing surface-treated filler, whilem = 4 law seemed to hold for samples containing large amounts of untreated fillers at low cooling rates (m is the exponent at degree of supercooling). It was concluded that although isothermal conditions of crystallization should be preferred for further quantitative investigations of polymer-filler interactions in highly filled polymer melts, the above results qualitatively are consistent with trends discovered in isothermal crystallization experiments.     

Enthalpimetric and thermometric determination of some nitrogen containing bases and some physiologically active alkaloids

Summary The enthalpimetric determination of a series of bases by using the reaction of the bases and sodium tetraphenylboron is described. The accuracy of the method is analytically acceptable, over the range 3×10^–5 moles to 7.5×10^–4 moles. The upper limit is determined by the bulk of the precipitate.Dosage forms of some physiologically active alkaloids contain more than the upper limit of analyte. Yet, preliminary investigations using silicotungstic acid indicate that this is suitable for thermometric titrations.

Enthalpimetrische und thermometrische Bestimmung stickstoffhaltiger Basen und physiologisch aktiver Alkaloide

Zusammenfassung Die enthalpimetrische Bestimmung einiger N-haltiger Basen erfolgte aufgrund der Reaktion mit Natriumtetraphenyloborat. Die Genauigkeit ist im Bereich von 3 · 10^–5-7,5 · 10^–4 Mol befriedigend. Eine obere Grenze der Anwendbarkeit ergibt sich aus der Menge des anfallenden Niederschlags. Diese wird bei der Bestimmung von Formulierungen einiger physiologisch aktiver Alkaloide überschritten. Jedoch ist in diesem Fall eine thermometrische Titration mit Hilfe von Silicowolframsäure möglich.

A study of the process of lignification of one-year willow wood

Conclusions 1. The content of lignin in the wood ofSalix viminalis andSalix acutifolia increases with the growth of the shoots during shortened days and also in drier climatic periods.2. The monosaccharides, glucose, fructose, and arabinose take part in the synthesis of the lignin of young wood ofSalix viminalis andSalix acutifolia. The formation of lignin of one-year willow wood takes place from May to January (with a maximum in June–July). The content of methoxyl groups in it gradually rises.Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, Vol. 5, No. 6, pp. 546–550, 1969     

The molecular structure of the N-chloroimine product of rearrangement of N,N-dichloroperfluoroaniline: A study by gas-phase electron diffraction

A gas-phase electron-diffraction study of the product of rearrangement of N,N-dichloro-perfluoroaniline has assisted in establishing it to be the N-chloroimine, I, rather than the azepine, II. The molecule is found to be planar apart from atoms Cl13 and F14. The detailed dimensions shown in Fig. 2 were obtained by least-squares refinements in which several structural constraints were applied to reduce the total number of independent parameters. Of particular interest is the evidence for overcrowding around the CN bond: ∠N7C1C2 = 128°, ∠C18N7C1 = 126°, ∠N7C1C6 = 118° ; the distance C18 β F9 is 2.73 Å.     

Pyridylethylation of cyclic thioamides and amides. I. Pyridylethylation in the tetrazole and 1, 2, 4-triazole series

1-Aryltetrazoline-5-thiones and 4-aryl-1, 2, 4-triazolyl-3-thiones which are cyclic amides and potential mercapto compounds have been 2-pyridylethylated for the first time. It is shown that in the compounds prepared the 2-pyridylethyl-2 group is on the nitrogen atom of the thioamide group, so that the above compounds react as thiones.     

Catalytic oxidation of furan and hydrofuran compounds

The characteristics of the oxidation of furfural in the hydrogen peroxide-VOSO₄-sodium acetate system and the composition of the products were studied. The principal stages of the reaction occur at pH 7. The direction of the reaction is very different from the process in an acidic medium, where -formylacrylic and maleic acids are mainly formed. The main oxidation products in the acetate buffer solution in the presence of VOSO₄ are succinic and -formylpropionic acids and 2(5H)-furanone; without the catalyst the main product is 2-furancarboxylic acid. A mechanism is proposed for the transformations of furfural in the investigated system.For Communication 1, see [1].Kubansk State Technological University, Krasnodar 350072, Russia.

Arylation with aryllead triacetates produced in situ by mercury-lead exchange

Reaction of a diarylmercury with lead tetraacetate to give an aryllead triacetate has been found to be a rapid reaction. The in situ generation of aryllead triacetates is thus an attractive alternative to the use of the purified reagents in the various electrophilic arylation reactions of these compounds.     

Some investigations on the photostabilization of polypropylene

The effect of substituted hydroxybenzophenone, benzotriazole and organic metal complexes on the photooxidation of PP films has been studied. It has been established that NiDBTC added in 1.0 wt. % is the most effective photostabilizer.While in the case of other stabilizers there is a slight increase in the Co content even during the induction period, with the application of NiDBTC practically no oxidation can be observed before the stabilizer completely disappears. This means that NiDBTC inhibits the photooxidation of the polymer even in low concentration.

Study of air pollution particulates by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Summary This paper discusses the application of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to the determination of the chemical composition of sulfur and nitrogen species in air pollution particulates. Core electron chemical shift measurements are augmented by the determination of relative concentrations and volatility of particulate species.
