Hydrogen bonds bond stiffness

Polyamides. The next two compounds are the amide counterparts of the esters listed under item (4). Although the values of AH j are less for the amides than for the esters, the values of T j, are considerably higher. This is a consequence of the very much lower values of AS j for the amides. These, in turn, are attributed to the low entropies of the amide in the liquid state owing to the effects of hydrogen bonding and chain stiffness arising from the contribution of the resonance form... [Pg.209]

The various mechanical properties of polyamides may be traced in many instances to the possibility of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the polymer molecules and to the relatively stiff chains these substances possess. The latter, in turn, may be understood by considering still another equilibrium, this one among resonance structures along the chain backbone ... [Pg.308]

Qnantized adhesion was observed by Hoh et al. [53] for a SisN4 tip breaking contact with a glass snrface in water, which had been NaOH adjusted to pH 8.5. As described at the beginning of Section IILA, a more accurate description of the measurement would be quantized displacement, which can be evaluated as quantized adhesion by multiplying the observed displacement by the lever stiffness. The authors speculate that their observations conld be explained either by the breaking of discrete numbers of hydrogen bonds between the tip and surface or by the breakdown of the continuum properties of water in close proximity to a solid surface. [Pg.37]

Pectins are longchain macromolecules. In aqueous solutions they form more or less stiff rods or coils, depending on their degree of branching and linking as well as their molecular weight. In addition interparticular or intermolecular physical-chemical interactions like Van-der-Waals forces, ionic interactions or hydrogen bonds influence the active volume of the molecule, the stiffness and the viscosity. [Pg.409]

Structural diffusion is favored by conditions that enhance the stiffness of the hydrogen-bonded network between water molecules low temperatures and low acid concentration. The decrease in water content leads to an effective increase in the concentration of acid protons, which in turn suppresses the contribution of structural diffusion, as found in aqueous acidic solutions. This agrees with the finding of an enhanced contribution of vehicular transport in PEMs at low hydration. Such an observation is also supported by recent studies of molecular mechanisms of proton transport in PEMs at minimal hydration. ... [Pg.396]
