Bioaffinity Chromatography-Methodology and Application

The term “affinity chromatography” was coined in 1968 by Cuatrecasas, Wilchek, and Anfinsen [l]. All kinds of chromatography except those depending on exclusion effects are based on affinity interactions of some kind between the solutes to be separated and the solid phase. The term is therefore too indeterminate to describe a method characterized by biological or biochemical recognition phenomena. Bioaffinity chromatography is suggested [2, 3].     

Reaction to fire of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate)/polycarbonate blends

In the present paper, we study the effect of both morphology and compatibilization on the reaction to fire of blends of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PETr) with recycled polycarbonate (PCr). It is shown that while the flame retardancy of blends containing less than 50% w/w of PCr increases almost linearly with PCr content, blends containing more than 50% w/w of PCr react to fire like pure PCr. This change of reaction to fire correlates with the formation of a continuous PCr phase in the blend.The compatibilization of the blend by a trans-esterification reaction leading to the formation of copolymers at the interface decreases the overall fire performances due to PETr chain breaking as a side effect which results in a strong decrease of blend viscosity and of the temperature at which mass loss begins.     

MECHANISMS OF TOUGHNESS IMPROVEMENT OF SEMI-CRYSTALLINE POLYMERS

Many normally ductile semi-crystalline polymers, such as polyamide-6 (or 6,6) (Nylon), high density polyethylene (HDPE), and isotactic polypropylene (iPP) are known to be brittle under impact loading.

Some general principles for improvement of toughness of semi-crystalline polymers that rely on the reduction of plastic resistance of the cavitated matrix are presented. As typical cases, the mechanisms of the dramatic toughness jumps achievable in both Nylon and HDPE through the incorporation of either flexible rubbery particles or rigid CaCO₃ particles are discussed. In both cases these result in the establishment of a material component of reduced plastic resistance in the form of a layer of oriented crystallization of well-defined thickness around the particles. The toughness jumps occur when the average interparticle ligament thickness is reduced below a critical value, specific to the particular polymer, and the component of reduced plastic resistance percolates through the structure.     

Blends of cellulose ester/phenolic polymers – chemical and thermal properties of blends with polyvinyl phenol

A series of miscible cellulose ester/poly (vinyl phenol) (CE/PVP) blends containing a latent formaldehyde source were prepared. Due to the low molecular weight of the PVP, the maximum PVP content ID the films was 50 wt %. The blends were then thermally cross-linked ID an attempt to create semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPN). The blends were characterized with differential scanning calorimetry, swelling experiments, pyrolysis molecular beam mass spectrometry (py-MBMS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results from the swelling experiments, py-MBMS and FTIR showed that the PVP component did react with the formation of methylene bridges. Blends that contained 50% PVP and high levels of formaldehyde formed semi-IPN structures.     

Cellulose alkyl ester/vinyl polymer blends: effects of butyryl substitution and intramolecular copolymer composition on the miscibility

The blend miscibility of cellulose alkyl esters, mainly butyrate (CB) and acetate butyrate (CAB), with synthetic homo- and copolymers comprising N-vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) and/or vinyl acetate (VAc) units, i.e., PVP, PVAc, and P(VP-co-VAc), was examined by differential scanning calorimetry. A miscibility map for the CB/vinyl polymer systems was constructed as a function of the degree of substitution (DS) of CB and the VP fraction of the mixing component. CBs were immiscible with PVAc regardless of the DS used (2.11–2.94), but miscible or immiscible with PVP depending on whether the butyryl DS was <2.5 or >2.5. The critical value of DS≈2.5 is lower than the corresponding one (DS≈2.8) evaluated formally for cellulose acetate (CA)/PVP blend series. This lowering is ascribable to an effect of steric hindrance of the bulky butyryl substituents, leading to suppression of the hydrogen-bonding interactions, as a driving factor for miscibility attainment, between residual hydroxyls of CB and carbonyl groups of PVP. The CB/vinyl copolymer system imparted a ‘miscibility window’ in which the VP/VAc composition participated; viz., CBs of DS≈2.54–2.94 were miscible with some P(VP-co-VAc)s of 30–70Â mol% VP fractions, in spite of the immiscibility with both PVP and PVAc homopolymers. The result was interpreted in terms of another inter-component attraction derived from repulsion between the monomer ingredients constituting the vinyl copolymer component. For CAB/P(VP-co-VAc) blends, it was observed that the VP/VAc range forming such a miscibility window became further expanded, compared with the corresponding series of CB blends. Fourier transform infrared and solid-state ¹³C NMR spectroscopy revealed not only the presence or absence of the intermolecular hydrogen-bonding formation, determined according to the lower or higher DS of the cellulose ester component in the blends considered, but also a difference in the mixing scale between the polymer pairs regarded as miscible by the thermal analysis.     

Morphology, morphology development and mechanical properties of polystyrene/polybutadiene blends

Polystyrene/polybutadiene (PS/PB) blends with different plastic/rubber ratios were prepared by melt mixing. A detailed investigation on phase morphology development of 30/70 wt.% PS/PB blends as a function of processing conditions was quantitatively analyzed. Morphology is developed at the initial stages of mixing. Suitable blending conditions resulting in optimum phase morphology were obtained at 180 °C, 60 rpm and at 8 min mixing time. Phase morphologies of the blends were also studied as a function of composition. Mechanical properties of the blends were measured. Attempts were made to correlate the morphologies with the properties. Parallel-Voids model has been applied to characterize phase morphology of these blends.     

The influence of arrangement of St in MBS on the properties of PVC/MBS blends

Three series of MBS core-shell impact modifiers were prepared by grafting styrene and methyl methacrylate onto PB or SBR seed latex in emulsion polymerization. All the MBS modifiers were designed to have the same total chemical composition, and MMA/Bd/St equals 30/42/28, which is a prerequisite for producing transparent blends with PVC. Under this composition, there were three different ways of arrangement for styrene in MBS, which led to the different structure of MBS modifier. The concentration of MBS in PVC/MBS blends was kept at a constant value of 20 wt.%. The effects of arrangement of St in MBS on the mechanical and optical properties of PVC/MBS blends were studied. The notched Izod impact test results showed that the MBS with a PB homopolymer core grafted with St had a lowest brittle-ductile transition (BDT) temperature and BDT temperature increased with the amount of St copolymerized with Bd in the core of MBS. The transparency of blends also increased with the amount of St copolymerized with Bd in the core. TEM results showed that the arrangement of St in MBS influenced the deformation behavior. Two deformation modes were observed in the blends: cavitation and shear yielding. When all St was grafted onto the PB rubber, both cavitation and debonding were observed, which relieve the triaxial tension and promote the shear yielding of the PVC matrix. When all St was copolymerized with Bd in MBS, no cavitation could be observed and only the shear yielding of the PVC matrix took place.     

THE COMPATIBILITY OF BLENDS OF POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE) OR CHLORINATED POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE) WITH POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE)

IR spectral shifts of carbonyl vibrational absorption for ethyl acetate, which acts analogically as the structural unit of poly(methyl methacrylate), in cyclohexane, chloroform, chlorinated paraffins, poly(vinyl chloride) and chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) were measured. The results suggest that there are specific interactions between the carbonyl groups and the chlorinated hydrocarbons which could be responsible for the apparent compatibility of poly(vinyl chloride)—poly(methyl methacrylate) and chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride)—poly(methyl methacrylate) blends. Additionally, the effects of the preparation mode of blend films on phase separation and observed compatibility are discussed.
