Phenothiazines curing effects

The monomer compositions were copolymerized using several different cure cycles. All of the cure cycles in this series included an additional post cure at 290 °C for one hour. The exact monomer compositions used, their detailed cure cycles and the physical properties of the resulting copolymers are shown in Table 16. As in the previous examples, here too the glass transition temperature went down as the fracture toughness increased. As before the fracture toughness rose as the mole ratio of bisbenzocyclobutene to bismaleimide approached unity. The presence of phenothiazine appeared to increase the fracture toughness in all of the examples although, its effect appeared most pronounced when... 

Molnar et al. [69] studied antibacterial effect and plasmid curing property of several phenothaizines and tried to correlate these functions with respect to their chemical structure. They observed that diethazine, amitriptyline, and impipramine showed bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect on different bacteria. Chlorpromazine sulfoxide and fluorescein were ineffective even at 1000 Ag/ml. The antibacterial compounds deleted at 40-70% frequency the F lac-t- plasmid of Escherichia coli K12 Le-140. Similar plasmid elimination potentiality by phenothiazines was reported by the same group of authors in 1982 [72],...
