Molekulargewichtsbestimmungen an verschieden scharf fraktionierten polymethacrylsäuremethylestern
1954
Aus drei Polymethacrylsauremethylestern, deren Molekulargewichte bei ungefahr 35 000, 500 000 und 8 000 000 lagen, wurden durch fortgesetzte Fraktionierung Praparate von sehr verschiedener Einheitlichkeit hergestellt. Das Molekulargewicht der einzelnen Fraktionen wurde in der Ultrazentrifuge gemessen, sowie die zugehorige Viskositatszahl in Benzol bestimmt. Es zeigt sich, das der Einflus der Einheitlichkeit fur die Beziehung zwischen Polymerisationsgrades und Viskositatszahl gering ist, falls man den Gewichtsdurchschnitt des Molekulargewichtes mist. Die bei diesen Versuchen gewonnenen Sedimentations- und Diffusionskurven werden im Hinblick auf die aus ihnen zu berechnenden Verteilungskurven…
Preferential solvation of a dicyanate ester monomer and poly(sulfone) in different organic solvents by size-exclusion chromatography.
2002
Preferential solvation parameters A in the ternary systems solvent (1) -monomer (2) -polymer (3) were determined as a tool to measure the compatibility between the cyanate ester monomer Arocy B10 and poly(sulfone), PSF, in the presence of three organic solvents: tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide and dicloromethane. The A parameter was measured by size-exclusion chromatography at different monomer-to-polymer ratios. The quantitative evaluation was rigorously made at polymer-diluted conditions. PSF was found to be preferentially solvated by the monomer. Concerning the solvent used, systems containing tetrahydrofuran showed the strongest solvation, the lowest A values being those obtained in …
Effect of kind and content of organo-modified clay on properties of PET nanocomposites
2011
In this work we report the properties of nanocomposite based on PET with two different samples of organically modified montmorillonites. In particular, we studied the effect of the filler concentration on morphology, rheology, and mechanical performance, focusing our attention on the effect of the degradation phenomena of the clay modifiers. The results indicate that at low clay level the morphology achieved is mainly intercalated. On increasing the filler level, coalescence and/or bad defragmentation phenomena induce a coarser morphology, as confirmed by XRD, SEM, and TEM observations. When a more polar organic modifier is used to modify the clay, the particle adhesion and distribution is …
Über den einfluß des substitutionsgrads auf die viskositätszahl (staudinger index) von cellulosenitraten
1962
Es wurden Untersuchungen uber die Abhangigkeit des STAUDINGER-Index vom Stickstoffgehalt in einem [η]-Bereich von 700 bis 4000 (ml·g−1) durchgefuhrt. Dabei wurde gegenuber den bisher in der Literatur vorliegenden Arbeiten eine verbesserte Praparations- und Mestechnik angewandt. Es wurde festgestellt, das der Gang des STAUDINGER-Index mit dem Substitutionsgrad swischen 13,0 und 13,8% geradlinig verlauft und durch folgende Gleichung wiedergegeben werden kann (vgl. Abb. 1): Hierin bezeichnet N den Stickstoffgehalt in %; x ist ein Faktor, der vom Polymerisationsgrad bzw. STAUDINGER-Index bei 13,8% in folgender Weise abhangt (vgl. Abb. 2): Bei Stickstoffgehalten uber 13,8% konnte keine Abhangigk…
Formation of Levan from Raffinose by Levansucrase ofZymomonas mobilis
2004
Levansucrase (EC 2.4.1.10.) of Zymomonas mobilis 113S can perform the polymerisation of fructose moiety from raffinose to levan concomitantly with a release of non-catabolised melibiose into the medium. The kinetic parameters of the levansucrase-catalysed reaction provide even higher reaction velocities on raffinose as compared to sucrose, particularly at low substrate concentrations. A decreased value in the number of the average molecular mass (Mn = 1693 kDa), an increased intrinsic viscosity (η = 49.47 cm3/g), and a diminished Huggin's constant (K' = 0.67) are intrinsic to the levan synthesis from raffinose, indicating certain structural peculiarities compared to a polysaccharide obtaine…
Solution properties of polyelectrolytes. III. Effect of sodium polystyrene sulfonate concentration on viscometric and size exclusion chromatographic …
1988
The effect of sodium polystyrene sulfonate concentration on the shape of its molecules in aqueous solution at different NaNO3 ionic strengths has been analyzed by viscometry and size-exclusion chromatography (s.e.c). An equation has been developed which predicts the intrinsic viscosity, [η] p.cp.cs, at finite concentration of both polyion (cp) and electrolyte (cs). The experimental results obtained by both techniques can be accounted for in terms of the theory. Several factors involved in the elution mechanism have been considered and the variation of the slopes of s.e.c. calibration curves with cp and cs has been discussed in terms of polyion conformation changes.
Solution behavior of 4-arm poly(tert-butyl acrylate) star polymers
2010
Abstract This paper reports the synthesis of 4-arm poly( tert -butyl acrylate) stars of different molar masses up to 10 6 g/mol by the “core-first” method using ATRP. All obtained stars have a monomodal and narrow molar-mass distribution ( The dilute-solution properties of these star polymers were investigated in good solvents (tetrahydrofuran and acetone). Gel permeation chromatography and dynamic and static light scattering were used to measure the hydrodynamic properties including intrinsic viscosity [ η ], radius of gyration R g , hydrodynamic radius R h , second virial coefficient A 2 and diffusion coefficient D 0 . These data were used to establish relationships between these paramet…
Associative behaviour of κ-carrageenan in aqueous solutions and its modification by different monovalent salts as reflected by viscometric parameters
2019
Abstract The viscometric behaviour of κ-carrageenan in aqueous solutions and in the presence of monovalent salts was investigated at 25 °C. Coil, helix or double helix conformations were induced by cooling hot κ-carrageenan solutions under appropriate ionic conditions. A new viscometric approach was used for modeling the behaviour of κ-carrageenan solutions. The intrinsic viscosity, [η], is markedly changed by the presence of different monovalent salts (NaCl, NaI and CsI). In pure water, the intrinsic viscosity amounts to 48 dL·g−1. In 0.1 M NaCl solutions (single helix state) [η] is 6.2 dL·g−1, whereas in 0.1 M NaI (double helix conformation) it is approximately twice as large. In 0.1 M Cs…
Solutions properties and solute–solvent interactions in ternary sugar–salt–water solutions
2010
International audience; Viscometric constants were used to provide information on solute-solvent interactions in ternary water-sugar-salt solutions. Comparison was made between pure water and aqueous salt solution as solvents affecting the behaviour of small carbohydrates. The determination of intrinsic viscosity was made more accurate by applying triple extrapolation of the three equations (Huggins. Kramer and Meffroy-Biget). Results obtained with this triple extrapolation method were compared to that obtained with the Jones-Dole equation usually used. The B coefficient of the Jones-Dole equation was interpreted in terms of its components (B(size)) and (B(structure)), respectively assigned…
The calculation of the number-average degree of polymerization starting from intrinsic viscosity and overall rate
1962
The relation between the intrinsic viscosity [η] and the number-average degree of polymerization Pn is a function of the molecular weight distribution of the polymer. In a polymer in which the termination of polymer radicals occurs partly by combination of two growing chains, this molecular weight distribution depends on number and extent of additional reactions such as chain transfer; i.e., it is variable. Therefore Pn of such polymers cannot be obtained from intrinsic viscosity measurements by means of an equation of the type [η] = KPna. A new method is proposed which allows the evaluation of Pn in these cases, without necessity of osmotic (or related) measurements or fractionation. The v…
