Advanced CPMAS-13C NMR techniques for molecular characterization of size-separated fractions from a soil humic acid
2006
A humic acid extracted from a volcanic soil was subjected to preparative high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) to reduce its molecular complexity and eleven different size fractions were obtained. Cross-polarization magic-angle spinning 13C NMR (CPMAS 13C NMR) analysis performed with variable contact-time (VCT) pulse sequences showed that the largest molecular-size fractions contained aromatic, alkyl, and carbohydrate-like components. The carbohydrate-like content and the alkyl chain length seemed to decrease with decreasing molecular size. Progressive reduction of aromatic carbon atoms was also observed with decreasing molecular size of the separated fractions. Mathematica…
Über den mechanismus der anionischen polymerisation von acrylnitril mit triphenylphosphin. 7. Mitt. über makrozwitterionen
1972
Die anionische Polymerisation von Acrylnitril mit Triathylphosphin als Initiator in Dimethylformamid wurde bei verschiedenen Temperaturen und unterschiedlichem Verhaltnis der Monomer/Initiator-Konzentrationen untersucht. Erganzt durch spektroskopische Endgruppenbestimmung der Polymeranionen konnte mittels 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie und Gelchromatographie (GPC) sowie emissionsspektralanalytischer Phosphorbestimmung an den rohen und den durch Umfallungen bzw. GPC fraktionierten Polymerproben gezeigt werden, das hier neben einer ubertragung teilweise eine Polymerisation Uber Makrozwitterionen auftritt. Fur die Bildung von Makrozwitterionen, , sind jedoch Mindestwerte des Monomer/Initiator-Verhaltnis…
Beiträge zur polymerisation von 2-isopropenylnaphthalin, 3. Anionische homopolymerisation von 2-isopropenylnaphthalin
1981
The anionic homopolymerization of 2-isoprenylnaphthalene with butyllithium in tetrahydrofuran at –78°C is described. The refractive index increment amounts to dn/dc = 0,2084 ml/g for these polymers in toluene at 25°C and wavelength λ = 436 nm. Determination of the molecular weights by light scattering yielded values between 13 000 and 270 000. The second virial coefficients also determined by light scattering measurements are comparable with the corresponding data of poly(α-methylstyrene). A calibration curve is given for gel permeation chromatography of the poly(2-isoprenylnaphthalene)s, whose polymolecularity indexes Mw/Mn lie between 1,06 and 1,2. Their intrinsic viscosity/molecular weig…
Utilization of enzymatic detergents to clean inorganic membranes fouled by whey proteins
2005
In this work inorganic membranes used for whey protein fractionation were cleaned with enzymatic detergents. The inorganic membrane Carbosep ® M1 (Orelis S.A., France), of 150 kg/mol molecular weight cut-off and ZrO2 filtering layer, was used and the commercial detergent P3-Ultrasil ® 62 (Henkel IbS.A., Spain) was selected for the cleaning. Hydraulic and chemical methods were considered to characterize the membrane cleanliness. Cleaning efficiency was observed to be a function of the operating conditions: recycling versus non-recycling of permeate, cleaning solution pH, enzymatic agent concentration and cleaning time. The optimum conditions to perform the cleaning were related to the optimu…
Syntheses and properties of gel chromatography materials
1970
Abstract The effect of the mode of synthesis on the characteristics of cross-linked polymers is examined for cross-linked copolymers of ethylvinylbenzene-divinylbenzene and vinyl acetate-divinyl adipate. For homogenously cross-linked gels the amount of cross-linking agent determines the “pore size” of these gels in the swollen state. Decreasing the amount of the divinyl component results in gels with an increase in the excluded molecular weight. The mechanical stability sets the experimental limit of their usage, so this type of gel is mostly suited for the separation of oligomers; polymers, however, may be separated by use of heterogenously cross-linked gels. The latter type of gel is prep…
Understanding the impact of poly(allylamine) plasma grafting on the filtration performances of a commercial polymeric membrane
2019
Abstract Commercial membranes often exhibit difficulties in rejecting specific ionic species, and especially multivalent cations, due to their usual negative charge. To face this drawback, it is proposed here to functionalize the membrane surface by allylamine plasma polymerization. The impact of this modification on both permeation flux and ion rejection is investigated for single salt solutions and ion mixtures. It is shown that the membrane behaves like a positive membrane from the point of view of cation rejection but the negative charge (and the corresponding electrical field) inside pores leads to high rejection of divalent anions like a negative membrane. This allows a high selectivi…
The mechanism of polymer permeation through polymer gel membranes
2007
Polymer gels are capable of producing separation effects on polymers. Applications for fractionation and for osmotic measurements are possible. Investigations are reported concerning the separation properties of polystyrene layers grafted onto a supporting cellulose basis. The permeation for pure solvents and the separating molecular limit for different solvents are tested. Their size depends uniquely on the interaction between the grafted polystyrene and the solvent.
Simulations of Polymers in Confined Geometries
1991
The properties of flexible polymers moving inside porous structures are believed to be relevant to practical problems such as filtration, gel permeation chromatography, heterogeneous catalysis, oil recuperation, etc.1. Similarly the adsorption of macromolecules on interfaces plays an important role for problems such as adhesion, flocculation and stabilisation of colloid particles, biological membrane function, artificial organs in medicine, etc. 2. Aside from this eventual practical application, the configurational statistics of polymers in such confined geometries is a challenging problem of theoretical physics. The present brief review will be concerned with the study of a single long fle…
Solution Properties of Polysarcosine: From Absolute and Relative Molar Mass Determinations to Complement Activation
2018
Polysarcosine (pSar) was one of the first polymers synthesized in a controlled living manner, but it was only recently when it was reconsidered as a promising alternative for poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) in biomedical applications. Despite receiving more and more attention, very little is known about the solution properties of pSar, such as coil dimensions and thermodynamic interactions. In this article, we report on these properties of pSar with degrees of polymerization 50 < X-n < 400 that were prepared by controlled living ring-opening polymerization. The polymers are characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, dynamic and static light scattering (SL…
Synthesis and Characterization of Syndiotactic Polystyrene-Polyethylene Block Copolymer
2019
The direct synthesis of syndiotactic polystyrene-block-polyethylene copolymer (sPS-b-PE) with a diblock structure has been achieved. The synthetic strategy consists of the sequential stereocontrolled polymerization of styrene and ethylene in the presence of a single catalytic system: cyclopentadienyltitanium(IV) trichloride activated by modified methylaluminoxane (CpTiCl3/MMAO). The reaction conditions suitable for affording the partially living polymerization of these monomers were identified, and the resulting copolymer, purified from contaminant homopolymers, was fully characterized. Gel permeation chromatography coupled with two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy COSY, HSQC, and DOSY confirme…
