Equations describing lamellar structure parameters and melting points of polyethylene-<Emphasis Type="Italic">co</Emphasis>-(butene/octene)s

Time- and temperature-dependent SAXS-experiments were used to determine the effect of octene and butene co-units on the lamellar structure and the melting properties of polyethylene. As expected, melting points decrease with increasing co-unit content, but crystal thicknesses are not affected and depend on the crystallization temperature only. Results can be cast into some simple equations which describe the dependence:

Atomabsorptions-spektrometrische Bestimmung von Elementspuren in reinem Kupfer und Kupfersalzen

Thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation of polyethylene and polypropylene is discussed. The products of thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation are analysed using a GC-MS after previous adsorption in a column containing a sorbent of styrene divinyl benzene copolymer type. Aldehydes are the products mostly resulting from the thermo-oxidation of polyethylene and methyl ketones are those resulting from the thermo-oxidation of polypropylene.

Die Abbauprodukte wurden mit Hilfe der GC-MS nach vorhergehender Adsorption an einer Säule aus Styrol-Divinylbenzol-Copolymer analysiert. Die thermischen Oxidationsprodukte des Polyäthylens sind meistens Aldehyde, die des Polypropylens Methylketone.

     

Analysis of dinitro- and amino-nitro-toluenesulfonic acids in groundwater by solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry

A reversed-phase LC–MS method with quadrupole-time of flight (QTOF) detection has been developed for the determination of four dinitro-toluenesulfonic acids and two amino-nitro-toluenesulfonic acids in groundwater. The analytes were separated by HPLC with 0.1% (v/v) formic acid as mobile phase modifier compatible with mass spectrometric detection. QTOF-MS analysis with negative ion electrospray ionization afforded good selectivity and sensitivity for analysis of the dinitro- and amino-nitro-toluenesulfonic acids. Structure elucidation and confirmation were accomplished by tandem mass spectrometry. Characteristic ions resulting from the loss of NO, NO₂, and SO₂ from the [M–H]^– ions were detected. An intense fragment ion at m/z 80 representing the [SO₃]^– ion was detected for all dinitro- and amino-nitro-toluenesulfonic acids. Solid-phase extraction using a co-polymer cartridge was developed for preconcentration of the analytes from water. Good recovery (>85%) was achieved when 0.1% formic acid was added into the water samples before extraction. Method detection limits ranged from 10 to 76 ng L^–1 for the targeted compounds when 10 mL water was analyzed. Groundwater samples collected from wells close to a former ammunition plant in Stadtallendorf, Germany, were analyzed for the dinitro- and amino-nitro-toluenesulfonic acids.     

Influence of sorbed carbon dioxide on transition temperatures of poly(p-phenylene sulphide)

Static pressure usually increases the transition temperatures of polymers by decreasing their free volume. If the pressurizing medium is soluble in the polymer matrix, the opposing effect of increasing the free volume is possible. Those shifts of transition temperatures were monitored with a medium-pressure Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) device. The influences of sorbed and surrounding gas molecules are demonstrated by changes occurring in the transition temperature regions. The results show the severe plasticizing effect of CO₂ on poly(p-phenylene sulphide) (PPS). The glass transition temperature T_G and the temperature of crystallization T_C are influenced by sorbed gas molecules. They decrease due to sorbed CO₂ molecules. Glass transition is lowered, but is difficult to interpret, as relaxation phenomena which diminish with increasing pressure occur during DSC runs. In crystallites no gas solution is usually possible, so that the melting point of PPS is mainly affected by influences other than plasticization.     

Generation and capture of methyl(vinyl)silanone

Methyl(vinyl)dichlorosilane reacts with DMSO in the presence of hexamethyldisiloxane to give the corresponding linear oligosiloxanes of the general formula Me₃Si(OSiMeVin) _n OSiMe₃ (n=1–6) as well as MeSi(OSiMe₃)₃ and Me₃Si(MeOSiVin) _m OSi(OSiMe₃)(Me)OSiMe₃ (m=1–2). The same reaction in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane results in oligomers of the general formula Me₃Si(OSiMeVin) _n Cl (n=1–3). A possible scheme of their formation is discussed.

Optimization of alkali-alkalkine earth cation separation on weak cation-exchangers

Summary The elution behavior of alkali and earth alkaline cations has been studied on a newly synthesized weak cationexchanger (WCX). Applying this stationary phase isocratic separation of these cations is possible. The dependence of retention on competing ion concentration is described via a simple model. The influence of crown ethers as well as organic eluent additives on selectivity and peak efficiency is demonstrated. With optimized separation such cations can be determined with detection limits of about 0.5 ppm using a conductivity detector without ion suppression.

Chiral stationary phases for LC and SFC obtained by “Polymer coating”

Summary Chirally substituted Si–H-containing polysiloxanes were synthesized, which can be immobilized on small particle silica gel as well as on the smooth surfaces of fused silica capillaries. Immobilization is achieved either by crosslinking or by chemical bonding to the surfaces via silanol groups; both reactions can only be performed by addition of H₂PtCl₆, which acts as catalyst for hydrosilylation and as stoichiometric reagent for crosslinking. Chiral substituents of systematically varied chemical structure were introduced into the polysiloxanes by hydrosilylation. The mechanism of immobilization was investigated by spectroscopic methods, notably²⁹Si-NMR. Homogenous stationary-phase coatings of variable film thickness and corresponding retentivity can easily be achieved. The enantioselectivity of the phase systems was characterized in dependency on the chemical structure of the chiral selectors attached to the polysiloxane chain of the chiral stationary phases and also in terms of the functional groups introduced into the solutes by derivatisation.
