Hydrolytic Degradation and Monomer Recovery of Poly(butylene succinate) and Poly(butylene succinate/adipate) in the Melt

Aliphatic dicarboxylic acid/aliphatic diol‐derived polyesters, poly(butylene succinate) and poly(butylene succinate/adipate), have been hydrolytically degraded in the melt in high‐temperature and high‐pressure water over a wide temperature range of 180–300 °C for periods of up to 30 min. The formation/decomposition of succinic acid (SA), adipic acid (AA), and butane‐1,4‐diol (BD), plus the molecular weight change of PBS and PBSA were then investigated. SA and AA were recovered at maximum yields of 65–80%, whereas BD was recovered at a maximum yield of only 30%, probably because of its decomposition. The obtained results were compared with those reported for aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acid‐derived polyesters and aromatic dicarboxylic acid/aliphatic diol‐derived polyesters.

     

High stable sandwich-type polyoxometallates based on . Synthesis, chemical properties and characterization of [(A-β-SiW9O34)2(MOH2)3CO3] (M = Y and Yb)

Highly hydrolytic and thermally stable sandwich-type polyoxometallates of [(A-β-SiW₉O₃₄)₂(MOH₂)₃CO₃]¹³⁻ (M = Y³⁺ and Yb³⁺) have been synthesized at room temperature by stoichiometric reactions of the trilacunary ligand with M³⁺ in 0.1 M carbonate solution. The new complexes were isolated as sodium and mixed sodium/potassium salts and were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR, UV–Vis spectroscopy, TGA, DSC and single crystal structure analysis. The crystal structure of the complexes consist of two lacunary Keggin moieties which are linked by a (H₂OMO)₃C belt into an assembly of virtual C₂ symmetry. Each M³⁺ ion adopts a mono-capped trigonal-prismatic coordination. The C₂ axis of the complexes and the local 3-fold axis of the MO₆ group lies in the (H₂OMO)₃C belt plane. The trigonal prismatic geometry is achieved by the two terminal oxygen atoms of an edge shared pair of WO₆ octahedra from each moiety and two oxygen from the belt, and the cap by one external water ligand. The hydrolytic and thermal stabilities of the complexes and the reasons that prove the retention of the isomeric form of the trilacunary ligand upon complexation are discussed.     

Adsorptive Voltammetric Behaviors of Resveratrol at Graphite Electrode and its Determination in Tablet Dosage Form

The adsorptive voltammetric behavior of resveratrol was studied at a graphite electrode in B‐R buffer (pH = 6.0) solution using adsorptive cyclic voltammetric technique. The oxidation of resveratrol is an irreversible adsorption controlled process. The oxidation mechanism was proposed and discussed in this work. The dependence of the current on pH and the concentration and nature of buffer were investigated to optimize the experimental conditions for the determination of resveratrol. It was found that in the range of 8.0 × 10^?9 ～ 2.0 × 10^?6 mol/L, the currents measured by differential pulse voltammetries presented a good linear property as a function of the concentrations of resveratrol. In addition, validation parameters, such as reproducibility, sensitivity and recovery were evaluated as well. The proposed method was also successfully applied for the determination of resveratrol in Chinese patent medicine with good results.

Influences of Bis-(2,6-Diisopropylphenyl) Carbodiimide on the Thermal Stability and Crystallization of Poly(P-Dioxanone)

The influences on the thermal degradation and crystallization behaviors of poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDO) were initially investigated by adding bis-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl) carbodiimide (labeled as St). It was found that the addition of St could significantly enhance the thermal stability and crystallizability of PPDO. The thermal decomposition temperature of PPDO increased with the increase of the amount of St added. The thermal decomposition activation energies of PPDO increased from 94.2 to 130.8 kJ mol^?1 in the case of 5 wt% St. The addition of St did not change the crystal structure of PPDO, while it increased the number of nucleation sites and improved the crystallizability of PPDO. The crystallization activation energies, calculated by the Kissinger method, for PPDO and PPDO/5 wt% St were ?111.4 and ?141.5 kJ mol^?1, respectively, confirming the crystallizability of PPDO was enhanced after the addition of St.

Near‐infrared spectroscopic studies on the cure behaviors of the CAE/DGEBA blend system initiated by a thermal latent catalyst

The latent properties and cure behaviors of an epoxy blend system based on cycloaliphatic epoxy (CAE) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) epoxy containing N‐benzylpyrazinium hexafluoroantimonate (BPH) as a thermal latent initiator were investigated with near‐infrared (N‐IR) spectroscopy. The assignments of the latent properties and cure kinetics were performed by the measurements of the N‐IR reflectance for epoxide and hydroxyl functional groups at different temperatures and compositions. As a result, this system showed more than one type of reaction, and BPH was an excellent thermal latent catalyst without any coinitiator. The cure behaviors were identified by the changes in the absorption intensity of the hydroxyl groups at 7100 cm⁻¹ with different composition ratios. Moreover, characteristic N‐IR band assignments were used to evaluate the reactive kinetics and were shown to be an appropriate method for studying the cure behaviors of the CAE/DGEBA blend system containing a thermal latent catalyst. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Phase‐transition characteristics of amphiphilic poly(2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline)/poly(ε‐caprolactone) block copolymers in aqueous solutions

Amphiphilic diblock and triblock copolymers of various block compositions based on hydrophilic poly(2‐ethyl‐2‐oxazoline) (PEtOz) and hydrophobic poly(ε‐caprolactone) were synthesized. The micelle formation of these block copolymers in aqueous media was confirmed by a fluorescence technique and dynamic light scattering. The critical micelle concentrations ranged from 35.5 to 4.6 mg/L for diblock copolymers and 4.7 to 9.0 mg/L for triblock copolymers, depending on the block composition. The phase‐transition behaviors of the block copolymers in concentrated aqueous solutions were investigated. When the temperature was increased, aqueous solutions of diblock and triblock copolymers exhibited gel–sol transition and precipitation, both of which were thermally reversible. The gel–sol transition‐ and precipitation temperatures were manipulated by adjustment of the block composition. As the hydrophobic portion of block copolymers became higher, a larger gel region was generated. In the presence of sodium chloride, the phase transitions were shifted to a lower temperature level. Sodium thiocyanate displaced the gel region and precipitation temperatures to a higher temperature level. The low molecular weight saccharides, such as glucose and maltose, contributed to the shift of phase‐transition temperatures to a lower temperature level, where glucose was more effective than maltose in lowering the gel–sol transition temperatures. The malonic acid that formed hydrogen bonds with the PEtOz shell of micelles was effective in lowering phase‐transition temperatures to 1.0M, above which concentration the block copolymer solutions formed complex precipitates. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
