Mechanical properties of SBR-networks: I. Determination of crosslink densities by stress-strain-measurements

The tube model is applied for the treatment of stress-strain measurements on SBR networks. It is shown that this theory allows the separation of crosslink and constraint contributions to the stress-strain behavior and, also, a reliable determination of crosslink densities. The consideration of dynamical contributions is discussed and a special numerical method is developed.

Dielectric relaxation of electrolyte solutions in acetonitrile

Complex permittivity spectra in the frequency range 0.95v (GHz)89 for acetonitrile and its solutions of LiBr, NaI, NaClO₄, and Bu₄NBr at 25°C show one Debye equation for the neat solvent whereas the superposition of a Debye process for the solute and a Cole-Cole distribution for the solvent is necessary to account for the dielectric relaxation behavior of the solutions. The reorientation of bulk acetonitrile is diffusive and only weakly coupled to viscosity. The number of solvent molecules irrotationally bound to the electrolyte is in good agreement with conventional solvation numbers for all electrolytes, when kinetic depolarization is assumed to be negligible. The solute relaxation process is dominated by the formation kinetics and reorientation of contact ion pairs. There is evidence for solvent-shared ion pairs in dilute NaClO₄ solutions.     

Deuterium relaxation time ofα-d-tryptophan included in cyclodextrin host molecules

Deuterium relaxation times ofd- andl--d-tryptophan included in -cyclodextrin derivatives were directly measured by deuterium NMR spectroscopy. The results showed that the molecular motion of the tryptophan molecule was strongly restricted even in the cavity of unmodified -cyclodextrin and the additional recognition groupings — ammonium and carboxylate — on -cyclodextrin did not affect the molecular motion of tryptophan, though the association constants were significantly enhanced.Deceased on March 22, 1987.     

Concerning the Thermal Diastereomerization of the Green Fluorescent Protein Chromophore

Summary. Two model compounds for the green fluorescent protein chromophore were prepared. One of them incorporates the natural 4-hydroxybenzylidene group of the natural tyrosin derived chromophore, the other one bears a methyl group instead of the hydroxy group. Whereas the photochemically prepared (E)-diastereomer of the first compound very effectively reverted thermally (room temperature) to the thermodynamically stable (Z)-diastereomer, the (E)-diastereomer of the second derivative proved to be stable even at elevated temperatures for more than a day. This finding can be rationalized by constructing the appropriate resonance structures showing that only in the first case an effective delocalization enables partial single bond character of the benzylidene double bond. From the standpoint of chemical etiology, only Nature’s choice of the tyrosin derived chromophore of the green fluorescent protein provides an efficient radiationless thermal relaxation channel for the unwanted photo-diastereomerization product formed after excitation besides the dominating fluorescence channel of its chromophore.     

A structural analysis of the complexes of (S,S)-dimethylpyridino-18-crown-6 with (R) and (S)-[α-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]ammonium perchlorate by NMR techniques and molecular modeling

Significant - interaction is found in the complexes of (S, S)-dimethylpyridino-18-crown-6 with (R)- and (S)-[-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]ammonium perchlorate. This finding is supported by the¹H NOESY NMR spectral technique, greater chemical shift changes of aromatic protons in both host and guest molecules upon complexation, and by molecular mechanics calculations. Because of the flexibility of the ligand, the tripod hydrogen bonding causes¹³C relaxation times of all periphery carbons to decrease without significant selectivity. Rotational energy barrier calculations of the methyl groups of the complexed ligand also show that the (S, S)-host-(R)-guest is the more stable complex.     

Influence of the chemical structure on the kinetics of the structural relaxation process of acrylate and methacrylate polymer networks

The enthalpy relaxation of poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA), poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) and poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA) networks, obtained by DSC, are compared. The temperature interval of the glass transition broadens in the sequence PEA-PEMA-PHEMA. The plots of the enthalpy loss during the annealing for 200 min at different temperatures below T_g show that the structural relaxation process also takes place in PHEMA in a broader temperature interval than in PEA or PEMA. The modelling of the structural relaxation process using a phenomenological model allows determining the temperature dependence of the relaxation times concluding that the fragility in PHEMA is significantly lower than in PEMA. Both features are ascribed to the connectivity of the polymer chains in PHEMA via hydrogen bonding. The role of the presence of the methyl group bonded to the main chain is analysed by comparing the results obtained in PEA and PEMA.     

A calorimetric study of the glass transition kinetics in polyisoprene

The connection between the dielectric and calorimetric relaxation behaviours of synthetic polyisoprene Cariflex IR 305 is studied. A similar comparison of dielectric and dilatometric results was described in [1]. The heat capacity was measured during heating of samples prepared with different thermal history. Experimental results were compared with the heat capacity curves calculated for a model based on the multiparameter theory of Kovacs et al. [4]. The model considers the relaxation system as being composed of a set of subsystems characterized by different relaxation times. The distribution of relaxation times and their temperature dependence were taken from the diclectric measurement. The relaxation time of a subsystem from posed to depend, not only on the actual, temperature of the sample, but also on the deviation of this subsystem from equilibrium, or alternatively, on the deviation of the system as a whole. The comparison between the measured and modeled curves shows that both influences must be taken into account in order to explain the experimental results.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. W. Pechhold on the occasion of his 60th birthday.     

反应注射成型聚氨酯互穿聚合物网络研究——刚性网络对于体系形态及性能的影响

用微型反应注射成型机制备了以聚氨酯(PU)为弹性相的两类同步互穿聚合物网络(SIN),其刚性相分别采用保留仲羟基的乙烯基酯树脂(VERH)以及封闭仲羟基的乙烯基酯树脂(VERA)。用傅里叶变换红外光谱在线跟踪了这类互穿网络的生成过程,发现刚性网络抑制了PU网络中硬段有序结构的形成,两个网络间有一定程度的互穿,而两个网络间的化学键作用进一步削弱氢键强度。自旋—自旋弛豫时间的测定进一步表明网络间存在一定的互穿以及刚性相对于PU硬段结晶的抑制作用。材料的力学性能与其SIN的形态有关。VERA网络对PU表现出明显的增强作用,而由VERH网络形成的SIN则由于体系相分离进程受到严重阻碍而使材料性能恶化。
