Component molecular weights

When the iateraction energy density is positive, equation 5 defines a critical temperature of the UCST type (Fig. la) that is a function of component molecular weights. The LCST-type phase diagram, quite common for polymer blends, is not predicted by this simple theory unless B is... 

The digestion of the protein, after heme removal, using Glu-C endoproteinase was also carried out. This enzyme cleaves the polypeptide backbone on the carboxyl terminus of a glutamic acid residue and in this case yielded twelve chromatographic responses. Despite two of these arising from unresolved components, molecular weight information was obtained from 15 polypeptides, one of which was the intact protein, covering the complete sequence, as shown in Table 5.10. 

Miller and Macmillan [4] carried out purification of pectinesterase from Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum culture fluid (fivefold degree of purification). According to the obtained data the purified enzyme possessed very low polygalacturonatlyase one. Disk electrophoresis at pH 4.3 revealed two protein components. The authors did not study distribution of pectinesterase activity in these components. Molecular weight of fungal pectinesterase determined using gel — filtration on Sefadex G — 75 was found to be 35,000. 

Industrial samples often consist of a complex mixture of molecular weights and/or functionalities. For their analyses, the fragmentation information in the FAB spectrum is of little use unless the component molecular weights are known. Commercially available FAB/FD... 

The phase behaviour of a blend of two PS-fo-PI copolymers depending on the components molecular weight and their ratio was investigated by Yamaguchi et al. [178-181]. Both copolymers were of nearly symmetric composition however, they differed in their molecular weights. For a given molecular weight ratio of the two constituent PS-fo-PIs the parameter space of temperature and blend composition is depicted in Fig. 59.

The underestimation in the case of the additive with the main component molecular weight 3900 has the same explanation as that given for the 2000 Mr additive in LDPE. It is a mixture of several species with a mass distribution in which the lowest mass provides the highest relative contribution to the overall amount of migration. 

Further, data of Nishi and Kwei (68) show that the LCST for the polystyrene-poly(vinyl methyl ether) system is constant to within 10°C when the polystyrene Mw lies between 50,000 and 1,000,000. This result again suggests that entropic contributions to the phase transition are of secondary importance when the component molecular weights are high and that the phase instability at LCST is governed by enthalpic consider-...

F is the partial specific volume), considering jF/iw, = 0 and %m gi = 0. Whenever molar properties are introduced, it is necessary to stick to the assumed component molecular weights throughout a calculation. 

Both cis-polyisoprene (PI) and poly(vinyl ethylene) (PVE) have the type-B dipoles perpendicular to the chain backbone, and PI also has the type-A dipoles parallel along the backbone (cf. Figure 3.2). The dielectric relaxation detects the fluctuation of these dipoles, as explained in Section 3.2.2. The fluctuation of the type-B dipoles is activated by the fast, local motion of the monomeric segments, which enables the dielectric investigation of this motion. In contrast, the slow dielectric relaxation of PI due to the type-A dipoles exclusively detects the fluctuation of the end-to-end-vector R (see Equation 3.23). These dielectric features of PI and PVE are clearly noted in Figure 3.11, where the e" data are shown for a PI/PVE blend with the component molecular weights Mp, = 1.2 x 1(P and Mpyp = 6 x 1(P and the PI content rvpi = 75 wt% (Hirose et al., 2003). The data measured at different temperatures are converted to the master curve after the time-temperature superposition with the reference temperature of T, = -20°C, as explained later in more detail. The three distinct dispersions seen at high, middle, and low... 

Note that W is the molecular weight matrix containing all species occurring in the system, and simply the component molecular weights for which the AR is generated in. It follows that rows 1-4 of W correspond to components A through D accordingly. 

The smallest value of x reported thus far in the polymer blend literature is obtained from the SPI(50)/SPB(78) system [system 54]. The x parameter is nearly zero over the entire temperature window. Such a blend is unique because it is predicted to be single phase regardless of composition and temperature. The phase diagram of this system is predicted to be blank, regardless of component molecular weights. 

This paper demonstrates the utility of KTDS for the characterisation of individual coating components. Molecular weight data and complementary isotope patterns permits a rapid (10 minutes) assignment of specific structures to the materials contained in coatings.
