Poly spinning techniques

We can successfully measure 170 MAS NMR spectra of poly(L-Ala)s using high-field and high-speed magic-angle spinning technique. From the 170 MAS spectra three kinds of NMR parameters such as chemical shift, quadrupolar coupling constant and asymmetric parameter were obtained exactly and understood the relationship... 

Poly(bulylene succinate) (PBS) is another biodegradable polymer which is not commonly blended with polyolefins. However, Yang et al. [94] investigated the eflect of PBS content, extrusion rate, and extensional strain rate on the melt strength and extensional viscosity of LDPE/PBS blends using a melt-spinning technique, and developed extensional master curves. Based on both the extensional master curve and a neural network method, they compared the predicted extensional viscosities with the experimental data of the LDPE/PBS blends.

In addition, dual layer hollow fibers have been manufactured by a dry jet-wet spinning technique [81]. Two different polymers, i.e., PAI and poly(ether sul-fone), were used as the selective layer on the outer side and the porous support layer on the inner side, respectively. The dual layer substrates were subsequently modified crosslinking followed by multilayer polyelectrolyte depositions in order to get a nanofiltration skin on the outer layer. 

Nanocomposite conventional mesoscale fibers (textile fibers that carry nanoparticulate filler) are produced via conventional fiber-spinning techniques by incorporating well-dispersed nanoparticles into the spinning dope. For instance, an intercalated poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/organo-montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposite prepared by in situ polymerization of the polyester in the presence of MMT clay was successfully melt spun into microfibers (Guan, G.-H., et al. 2005). Melt-spun conventional fibers of... 

HoUow-fiber fabrication methods can be divided into two classes (61). The most common is solution spinning, in which a 20—30% polymer solution is extmded and precipitated into a bath of a nonsolvent, generally water. Solution spinning allows fibers with the asymmetric Loeb-Soufirajan stmcture to be made. An alternative technique is melt spinning, in which a hot polymer melt is extmded from an appropriate die and is then cooled and sohdified in air or a quench tank. Melt-spun fibers are usually relatively dense and have lower fluxes than solution-spun fibers, but because the fiber can be stretched after it leaves the die, very fine fibers can be made. Melt spinning can also be used with polymers such as poly(trimethylpentene), which are not soluble in convenient solvents and are difficult to form by wet spinning. 

The presence of four kinds of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) observable nuclei ( H, uB, 13C, and 29Si) allows poly(m-carborane-siloxane) to be readily investigated using NMR spectroscopy. In addition, H spin-echo NMR relaxation techniques can provide an insight into polymer segmental chain dynamics and therefore useful information on material viscoelastic characteristics. 

The dissociation of model compounds for co-chain ends of polymers obtained using iniferters with the DC group was examined by the spin-trapping technique, similar to the disso dation of 7 and 8 previously mentioned [174,175]. From the results of the trapping experiments, it was concluded that 46,47, and 48 as model compounds for poly(MA), poly(MMA), and poly(VAc), respectively, dissociated at the appropriate position to produce a reactive carbon-centered radical and a stable DC radical. In fact, these compounds were found to induce the living radical polymerization of St when they were used as photoiniferters. 

Poly(benzyl ether) dendrimers synthesized by Frechet el al. have been studied with many techniques in order to reveal their conformational properties. Size exclusion measurements performed by Mourey et al. [154], rotational-echo double resonance (REDOR) NMR studies by Wooley et al. [155] and spin lattice relaxation measurements by Gorman et al. [156] reveal that back-folding takes place and the end-groups can be found throughout the molecule. The observed trends are in qualitative agreement with the model of Lescanec and Muthukumar [54],... 

These experiments provide identification of the through-bond spin coupling network as well as through-space proximity between spins. Examples of the application of these techniques have demonstrated the efficiency of these techniques in establishing the assignment, sequence and linkage site information for oligo- and poly-saccharides [59-60, 62-65], and for saponins [29].
