Interactions between brushlike polyacrylic acid side chains on a polyacrylate backbone in dioxane-water.

Densely grafted polyacrylic acids (d-PAAs) with overcrowded PAA side chains on the polyacrylate main chains were synthesized and characterized. Acryloyl poly(tert-butyl acrylate) macromonomer [M-P(tert-BA)] was prepared with a definite chain length (n=29) by atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), then homopolymerization was carried out to produce densely grafted P(tert-BA)s with polyacrylate main chains of two different lengths (m=27 and 161). The two d-PAAs were obtained by hydrolyzing d-P(tert-BA)s in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). The d-PAAs exhibit intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the carboxylic groups of PAA side chains in dioxane and pyridine; both were investigated using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. The intermolecular hydrogen bonding was found to be dependent on polymer concentration, temperature, and water content. The intramolecular association between the PAA side chains was found to produce a contraction of the hydrodynamic volume of the d-PAA. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding produces aggregates, as demonstrated by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The clusters were found to shrink as the overall water concentration decreased, and this effect is tentatively explained by considering the gradient in chemical potential of water inside the clusters in comparison with the solvent phase.

Modal Aggregation and the Theory of Paraconsistent Filters

This paper articulates the structure of a two species of weakly aggregative necessity in a common idiom, neighbourhood semantics, using the notion of a k-filter of propositions. A k-filter on a non-empty set I is a collection of subsets of I which (i) contains I, (ii) is closed under supersets on I, and (iii) contains ∪{X_i ≤ X_j : 0 ≤ i < j ≤ k} whenever it contains the subsets X₀,…, X_k. The mathematical content of the proof that weakly aggregative modal logic is complete relative to k-ary frame theory, the standard semantic idiom for weakly aggregative modal logic (see [1]) is presented in language-independent terms as a representation theorem for k-filters: every non-trivial k-filter is included in the union of ≤ k non-trivial filters. The elementary theory of k-filters is developed and then applied in the form of an ultrafilter extension result for k-ary frame theory. Mathematics Subject Classification: 03B45.     

Computer simulation of crystallization kinetics and morphology in fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites. II. Three-dimensional case

A three-dimensional computer simulation has been used to predict crystallization kinetics and crystalline morphology in composite materials that are based on crystallizable thermoplastics. Reinforcing fibers in three-dimensional simulations show similar behavior to those in two-dimensional simulations; fibers suppress crystallization relative to an unreinforced polymer since they constrain spherulitic growth by an impingement mechanism, and also enhance crystallization by providing added surface nucleation sites. The effects of varying controlling parameters on crystallization kinetics and morphology are qualitatively the same as those observed in the two-dimensional case. The relative bulk and fiber nucleation denisities, in addition to the fiber volume fraction, fiber diameter, and spherulitic growth rate control the crystallization kinetics and crystalline morphology that develop in reinforced thermoplastic composites. It is more difficult to achieve the transcrystalline morphology in slices of three-dimensional composites than it is in two-dimensional composites because nuclei in 3-D systems are not constrained to positions in or near a 2-D plane. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Li and K NMR relaxation study of a LiKSO4 single crystal

The ⁷Li and ³⁹K NMR relaxations in a LiKSO₄ single crystal grown by the slow evaporation method were investigated by employing a pulse NMR spectrometer. From the experimental data, the quadrupole coupling constant and asymmetry parameter were determined at the temperatures of 180 and 300 K. The relaxation processes of ⁷Li and ³⁹K were studied for the LiKSO₄ crystal, and the relaxation times for the ⁷Li and ³⁹K nuclei exhibit remarkable changes near T_c2 (=190 K). The activation energies for ⁷Li and ³⁹K were determined in phases I and III. The large change in the activation energy at 190 K indicates that the Li and K ions are significantly affected during this transition. The correlation time of the ⁷Li calculated from the spin-lattice relaxation time and quadrupole parameters was larger than that of the ³⁹K calculated using the same method. The reason for this is that the Li ion undergoes molecular motion as in the LiO₄ groups.     

Preparation of β-cyclodextrin sulfate-immobilized hydrophilic vinyl-polymer gel as a selective,high recovery and stable adsorbent for high-performance affinity chromatography of heparin-binding substances

Summary β-Cyclodextrin sulfate having heparin-mimicking activity was immobilized on a hydrophilic vinyl-polymer gel, TSKgel AF-Epoxy, TOYOPEARL 650M. A column packed with this material could be used for high-performance affinity chromatographic separation of heparin-binding substances such as growth factors, enzymes, coagulation factors and lipoproteins. The substances retained on the column were recovered more easily than those on a heparin-immobilized column. Furthermore, the β-Cyclodextin sulfate-immobilized gel was superior in stability to the heparin-immobilized gel when exposed to acidic and basic solutions.     

Molecular Control of Bioactivity in Sol-Gel Glasses

Bioactive materials can be divided into: Class A bioactive glasses which exhibit rapid bonding to bone and soft connective tissue and are osteoproductive, and osteoconductive; and Class B bioactive ceramics, which bond slowly only to bone and are only osteoconductive. Bioactive sol-gel glasses composed of SiO2-CaO-P2O5 have Class A behavior in vitro and in vivo and also resorb as they enhance the proliferation of new trabecular bone.     

On the Formation of Nanostructures from Stilbazolium-like Dyes

Nanostructures with well-defined shape and highly monodisperse size were fabricated from model stilbazolium-like dyes with specific molecular structural and conformational characteristics. With the help of absorption and fluorescence optical spectroscopy, the correlated spectroscopy (COSY) and two- dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (2D NOESY) techniques, along with X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement, distinctively different aggregation processes of the model molecules are demonstrated. For model dye molecule with linear donor–π system–acceptor (D–π–A) structure, strong D–A pair, and planar conformation, specific intermolecular interaction was identified and special crystal structures as well as spectral properties were observed. For model dye molecules bearing nonlinear D–π–A–π–D structure, weak D–A pair but actual amphiphilic characteristics, a special aggregation process was confirmed and a focused size distribution of the produced nanostructures was obtained.     

On the Properties of Accretive-Dissipative Matrices

Let A be a complex n × n matrix, and let A = B + iC, B = B*, C = C* be its Toeplitz decomposition. Then A is said to be (strictly) accretive if B > 0 and (strictly) dissipative if C > 0. We study the properties of matrices that satisfy both these conditions, in other words, of accretive-dissipative matrices. In many respects, these matrices behave as numbers in the first quadrant of the complex plane. Some other properties are natural extensions of the corresponding properties of Hermitian positive-definite matrices.__________Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, vol. 77, no. 6, 2005, pp. 832–843.Original Russian Text Copyright ©2005 by A.
