Baxenden Chemicals Ltd. (UK) has developed a large scale lipase-catalyzed process for the production of poly (hexane-1,6-diol adipate). The process consists of condensation of hexane-1,6-diol and adipic acid using Candida antaictica lipase. Constant removal of water from the enzyme-catalyzed polymerization process is crucial to shift the equilibrium to the right. This simple lipase-catalyzed polyester manufacture is operated at ambient temperature and does not require a solvent. In addition, the process is very economical when compared to the chemical process. 

Analyzing these equations, we can easily come to the conclusion that linear and cydic polymers can at equilibrium differ in copolymer units composition and microstructure (e.g., contributions of various triads). Such a phenomenon was observed for some copolymerization systems, for example, the maleic acid units fraction in macrocydes and in linear polymer differ for poly(hexane-l,6-diyl maleate-co-hexane-l,6-diyl fumarateY ... 

High-energy radiation can induce the depolymerization of polymers when irradiated at temperatures close to or above the ceiling temperature for the liquid-phase polymerization. This has been demonstrated in the cases of poly (butane sulfone) and poly(hexane sulfone) that possess ceiling temperatures at about 60 °C [70].

The GBR resin works well for nonionic and certain ionic polymers such as various native and derivatized starches, including sodium carboxymethylcel-lulose, methylcellulose, dextrans, carrageenans, hydroxypropyl methylcellu-lose, cellulose sulfate, and pullulans. GBR columns can be used in virtually any solvent or mixture of solvents from hexane to 1 M NaOH as long as they are miscible. Using sulfonated PDVB gels, mixtures of methanol and 0.1 M Na acetate will run many polar ionic-type polymers such as poly-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-l-propanesulfonic acid, polystyrene sulfonic acids, and poly aniline/ polystyrene sulfonic acid. Sulfonated columns can also be used with water glacial acetic acid mixtures, typically 90/10 (v/v). Polyacrylic acids run well on sulfonated gels in 0.2 M NaAc, pH 7.75.

Vinylfuran did not polymerize with butyl lithium in hexane or tetrahydrofuran. Traces of resinous materials were isolated. Their spectra indicated complicated structures and not poly(2-vinylfuran).

To show how this system works, let us consider some of the values shown in Table 5.1. Firstly, let us use poly(ethylene) as an example. This polymer has a 5p value of 16.2 J cm hexane, with a value of 8 = 14.8 J cm gives a (5. - 5p) of -1.4 J cm, which being less than 4.0 indicates solubility. By contrast, methanol has a 4 value of 29.7 J cm , giving a (4 8p) of 13.5 J cm this indicates that poly(ethylene) is not soluble in methanol. 

The stability of polyanhydrides composed of the diacids sebacic acid (SA), bis( -carboxyphenoxy)methane (CPM), l,3-bis(g-carboxyphe-noxy)propane (CPP), l,6-bis( -carboxyphenoxy)hexane (CPH), and phenylenedipropionic acid (PDP), in solid state and in organic solutions, was studied over a 1-year period. Aromatic polyanhydrides such as poly(CPM) and poly(CPH) maintained their original molecular weight for at least a year in both solid state and solution (20). 

The identification and quantification of potentially cytotoxic carbonyl compounds (e.g. aldehydes such as pentanal, hexanal, traw-2-octenal and 4-hydroxy-/mAW-2-nonenal, and ketones such as propan- and hexan-2-ones) also serves as a useful marker of the oxidative deterioration of PUFAs in isolated biological samples and chemical model systems. One method developed utilizes HPLC coupled with spectrophotometric detection and involves precolumn derivatization of peroxidized PUFA-derived aldehydes and alternative carbonyl compounds with 2,4-DNPH followed by separation of the resulting chromophoric 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones on a reversed-phase column and spectrophotometric detection at a wavelength of378 nm. This method has a relatively high level of sensitivity, and has been successfully applied to the analysis of such products in rat hepatocytes and rat liver microsomal suspensions stimulated with carbon tetrachloride or ADP-iron complexes (Poli etui., 1985).

These thermolysis reactions normally produce polymeric products, free of the cyclic analogs, in essentially quantitative yield and in sufficient purity to give satisfactory elemental analysis upon removal of the sHyl ether byproduct under vacuum. Final purification is generally achieved by precipitation of the polymer into a non-solvent such as hexane. With the exception of poly(diethylphosphazene) (2), which is insoluble in all common solvents (see below), the new polymers are readily soluble in CH CU and CHCU. In addition, the phenyl substituted compounds (3-6) are soluble in THF andvanous aromatic solvents. None of the polymers are water-soluble however, Me2PN]n (1) is soluble in a 50 50 water/THF mixture.

Lageveen et al. [41] showed that the monomer composition of aliphatic saturated poly(3HAMCL) produced by P. oleovorans is depended on the type of n-alkane used. It appeared that the n-alkanes were degraded by the subsequent removal of C2-units and it was therefore proposed that the /1-oxidation pathway was involved in poly(3HAMCL) biosynthesis. Preusting et al. [42] confirmed these results but also showed that with hexane as substrate some 3-hydroxyoctanoate and 3-hydroxydecanoate were produced, indicating that additional pathways were involved in poly(3HAMCL) biosynthesis (Table 1). 

It is difficult, at present, to get a clear idea of the efficiency of the various plant PHA extraction protocols. In a patent application by Metabolix [74], it was reported that the efficiency of purifying poly(3HB) which was mixed with ground rapeseed was approximately 24% when using an oil-extraction step with hexane followed by refluxing in chloroform for 22 h and evaporating the chloroform to recover poly(3HB). The co-extraction of oil with a PHA contain-... 

Campo et al. (1999) synthesized the ortho-isomers of PCPP and PCPH, poly[l,3-bis(o-carboxyphenoxy)propane] (Po-CPP) and poly[l,6-bis( o-carboxyphenoxy)hexane] (Po-CPH), in an attempt to improve the solubility and processability of these two polymers. Solubility was improved... 

Before the explanation of ladder poly silanes is started, ladder compounds of other Group 14 elements are briefly mentioned. Hydrocarbons with a ladder-shaped carbon framework are known as ladderanes. The study on ladderanes goes back to 1927, when bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane ([2]ladderane) was synthesized by the reduction of dy-l,4-dibromocyclohexane with sodium.19 Ladderanes so far reported are tricyclo[4.2.0.02,5]octane ([3]ladderane),20 tetracyclo[4.4.0.02,507,1°]decane21 ([4]ladderane), and a number of their derivatives (Fig. 3).
