2,3,3-trimethyl-3h-pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolines and polymethine dyes based on them

2,3,3-Trimethyl-3H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinoline and its 8-methoxy derivative were obtained from methyl isopropyl ketone 4-quinolylhydrazones. These bases form quaternary salts at the azine nitrogen atom, from which polymethine dyes were obtained. The changes in the absorption spectra of the dyes in solutions with various acidities were examined.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 948–951, July, 1982.     

5-Hetaryl-substituted 2-methyleneindolines and polymethine dyes based on them

2-Methyleneindolines containing benzazole residues at the 5-position were synthesized and polymethine dyes were obtained from them. The bathochromic shifts induced by the introduction of heterocyclic residues into indocyanines exceed the similar shifts induced by the same heterocycles in thio and quinocyanines.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1050–1054, August, 1990.

Effect of the physical state on tearing of amorphous polymers

On the assumption that the strength of linear amorphous polymers is determined by the efficiency of molecular interaction and the degree of orientation in a region adjacent to the tip of a tear, the temperature dependence of both indicated factors is described in the temperature range encompassing the rigid, high-elastic, and viscous flow states. On the basis of a comparison of the indicated temperature dependences, a -T curve for real polymers is proposed and confirmed by experiment. The dependence is characterized by a pronounced peak in the region of transition from the rigid state to the high-elastic state and is of exponential type in the temperature range encompassing this state.Mekhanika Polimerov, Vol. 1, No. 4, pp. 100–105, 1965     

Application of microemulsions for the extraction of <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-phthalate esters from soil with subsequent separation of microemulsions,simultaneous preconcentration,and gas chromatographic analysis of target components

The possible application of microemulsions as extractants for the extraction of o-phthalate esters from soils with the subsequent breakdown of microemulsions, simultaneous preconcentration of dialkhylphthalates in the organic phase, and their following gas chromatographic analysis with mass-spectrometric detection is demonstrated. The preconcentration factor was 18. The method is characterized by low detection limits, good selectivity, and reproducibility.     

Choice of optimum conditions of emitter preparation for X-ray fluorescence analysis of aerosols

The nonuniformity of aerosol distribution over filter surface was studied. It was found that the distribution depends on the properties of the studied object and on the sampler type: particle concentration is often higher in the center of the filter, but in some cases, they shift to the edges; the uniform distribution of particles is observed rarely. It was shown that, if the emitter in X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) is a disk 3 cm in diameter cut from the center of a filter 5 cm in diameter, the systematic error of the results of analysis may be higher than 0.30. Recommendations on the choice of the conditions of sampling aerosols and emitter preparation are formulated. If these conditions are met, the results of XRF analysis of nonuniform filters are characterized by s_r = 0.05, which satisfies the admissible error.     

Temperature reversal of the reinforcing effect of fillers

A previous investigation [4] of the tear strength of filled systems based on SKS-85 butadiene-styrene copolymer over a broad temperature interval revealed a reversal of the reinforcing effect of fillers with a coefficient of thermal expansion different from that of the filled polymer. At Tg the strength of mixtures containing polymer fillers [Kapron (polycaprolactam) and cellophane powder] exceeds that of mixtures containing chalk and carbon black. The temperature reversal effect is attributed to the severe weakening of the adhesion of the polymer to the surface of the filler particles as a result of the concentration of shrinkage stresses in the polymer-filler contact zone. The presence of shrinkage stresses around the filler particles at Tg is qualitatively demonstrated on model systems using a photoelastic technique. Moreover, it is shown that the unbalance, and hence the residual stresses, in filled systems at temperatures below the glass transition temperature of the filled polymer is determined by the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion.Moscow Technological Institute of the Meat and Dairy Industry.

Effect of physicalstate on tearing of filled systems based on linear amorphous polymers

A study has been made of the temperature dependence of the service behavior, deformation, and tear rate of filled systems based on SKS-85. It is established that the introduction of fillers which enhance the strength of systems in the high-elastic state effect a loss of strength in the vitreous state. The observed reversal of the strengthening effect from positive to negative is explained by weakening of the adhesive strength of the bond between polymer and filler particles caused by the increase and concentration of shrinkage stresses during cooling of the specimens. This effect is called temperature inversion of the reinforcing action of fillers.Mekhanika Polimerov, Vol. 1, No. 6, pp. 98–102, 1965
