S.3.2 Sol-Gel Encapsulation of Reactive Species Another new and attractive route for tailoring electrode surfaces involves the low-temperature encapsulation of recognition species within sol-gel films (41,42). Such ceramic films are prepared by the hydrolysis of an alkoxide precursor such as, Si(OCH3)4 under acidic or basic condensation, followed by polycondensation of the hydroxylated monomer to form a three-dimensional interconnected porous network. The resulting porous glass-like material can physically retain the desired modifier but permits its interaction with the analyte that diffuses into the matrix. Besides their ability to entrap the modifier, sol-gel processes offer tunability of the physical characteristics... 

When the ratio of template to acid is close to 0.5, the viscosity of the product is more than 3 times higher than the viscosity of the polymer obtained without the template. PEO participates in the change of local concentration by interaction with carbonyl groups, but not in the activation. Solution of LiCl in N-methylpyrrolidone with PlOCeHsls was found very effective system for synthesis of amides by the direct reaction of acids with amines in the presence of polymeric matrix. High molecular weight poly(aminoacids) obtained by direct polycondensation reaction, promoted by triphenyl phosphite and LiCl in the presence of poly(vinylpyrrolidone), were synthesized by Higashi et al The results for polymerization of L-leucine in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) are presented in the Table 6.3. 

In both cases, cooperative interaction between the growing chains and matrices is necessary for the completion of the matrix process. The necessity of the matrix — growing chain polycomplex is the cause of several molecular recognition connected peculiarities of matrix polymerization and polycondensation. This imposes limitations primarily on the chain lengths of the matrix and the daughter macromolecules. 

A series of close-to-spherical styrene/DVB resins of varying particle size and pore diameter were employed as supports for non-covalent adsorptive attachment of CALB by hydrophobic interaction. The effect of matrix particle and pore size on CALB i) adsorption isotherms, ii) fraction of active sites, iii) distribution within supports, and iv) catalytic activity for s-CL ring-opening polymerizations and adipic acid/l,8-octanediol polycondensations is reported. Important differences in the above for CALB immobilized on methyl methacrylate and styrene/DVB resins were found. The lessons learned herein provide a basis to others that seek to design optimal immobilized enzyme catalysts for low molar mass and polymerization reactions. 

As a compromise between the screening postulations of rapid and uncomplicated access to high molecular systems (due to the selections of a size criterion for interaction possibilities of biopolymers within bioregulation hierarchies (134)) by a route independent from the natural polycondensation way (due to a greater suitability for the alternatives of matrix polymerizations) and a certain degree of stereo-electronic order of our synthetics (due to the desire for reproducibility and fit of our systems in their possible interactions with biopolymers) we started... 

Polymerizations of various olefin monomers in the presence of polymer matrices which have an interaction with monomers have been carried out. The factors studied include the initiation and the rate enhancement of the polymerizations and the control of stereoregularity or sequence distribution of the resulting polymers. In particular, when monomers and polymer matrices have electric charges, as in the system of poly(styrene sulfonic acid) and vinyl pyridine ), a strong interaction between monomer and the polymer matrix caused a spontaneous polymerization along the polymer matrix, thus forming a polymer complex. But, there are few publications concerned with polycondensation in the presence of a polymer matrix. 

It has also been reported that the polycondensation of DEC with HMD in ethanol took place very rapidly under mild conditions to form a corresponding polyamide and that the polycondensation in dioxane was accelerated by irradiation with light. Since an electron-accepting Jf-pyrone nucleus of DEC was expected to have a charge-transfer interaction with an electron-donating compound such as poly(vinyl car-bazole) (PVK), the polycondensation of DEC with diamines in the presence of PVK as a matrix was carried out with irradiation of UV light. 

PVA matrix with a molecular weight of 22,000 took a longer time than those in the presence of a PVA matrix with a higher molecular weight(66,000 or 88,000). It was also confirmed that gelation did not occur within 48 hr when one of three components, DMT,HMD, and PVA matrix, was absent in a solution an increase in the solution viscosity with time was observed only in a mixture of DMT and PVA solutions. These results suggest that DMT interacts with the PVA matrix and that a polymer complex is formed during the polycondensation of DMT with HMD to produce a gel. The formation of the gel depended on the concentration of PVA and took...
