Homopolymers of PO and other epoxides are named a number of ways after the monomer, eg, poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) or polymethjioxirane from a stmctural point of view, polyoxypropylene or poly(propylene glycol) or from the Chemicaly hstracts (CA) name, poly[oxy(methyl-l,2-ethanediyl)], a-hydro- CO-hydroxy-. Common names are used extensively in the Hterature and in this article. 

Poly(vinyl alcohol) can be derived from the hydrolysis of a variety of poly(vinyl esters), such as poly(vinyl acetate), poly(vinyl formate), and poly(vinyl ben2oate), and of poly(vinyl ethers). However, all commercially produced poly(vinyl alcohol) is manufactured by the hydrolysis of poly(vinyl acetate). The manufacturing process can be viewed as one segment that deals with the polymeri2ation of vinyl acetate and another that handles the hydrolysis of poly(vinyl acetate) to poly(vinyl alcohol). 

For an aliphatic polyester, poly(pivalolactone) has a rather high of 245°C and for such a an unexpectedly low of -10°C. It is also claimed to have good hydrolysis resistance for a polyester and this appears to be one of the reasons for its manufacture on an experimental scale by Shell with a view for use as both a fibre and as a thermoplastics moulding material. 

Recently, with the improvement achieved in the preparation and control of surfaces, a number of approaches have been devoted to the estimation of the pzc of pt(lll).140 197 210 211 These are summarized in Table 29 for convenience of the reader. The value recommended for pc-Pt is also reported for comparison. In three cases the pzc has been estimated indirectly and the value is strikingly close to the pzc of poly crystalline Pt. In view of the heterogeneity of Pt surfaces, this closeness is puzzling and suggests that the phenomenon used to estimate the pzc does not conform to the concept of zero charge. 

Here we introduce a personal point of view about the interactions between conducting polymers and electrochemistry their synthesis, electrochemical properties, and electrochemical applications. Conducting polymers are new materials that were developed in the late 1970s as intrinsically electronic conductors at the molecular level. Ideal monodimensional chains of poly acetylene, polypyrrole, polythiophene, etc. can be seen in Fig. 1. One of the most fascinating aspects of these polymeric... 

Fig. 18.—Antiparallel packing arrangement of 2-fold poly(ManA) (15) helices, (a) Stereo view of two unit cells roughly normal to the hoplane. The helix at the center (filled bonds) is antiparallel to the two in the back (open bonds). Intrachain hydrogen bonds stabilize each helix. Association of helices through direct hydrogen bonds involve the carboxylate groups for parallel chains, but involve the axial hydroxyl groups for antiparallel chains, (b) A view of the unit-cell contents down the t-axis highlights the interactions between the helices.

These complexes are stable (presumably to aerial oxidation), which is, perhaps, surprising, in view of the fact that the analogous complexes of iron(II) could not be isolated, oxidation to iron(III) taking place in each case. A number of interesting poly(bisdithiocarbamate) complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) (XXI) have been prepared and... 

In view of these constraints, we recently suggested a different strategy for the improvement of the material properties of synthetic poly (amino acids) (12). Our approach is based on the replacement of the peptide bonds in the backbone of synthetic poly(amino acids) by a variety of "nonamide" Linkages. "Backbone modification," as opposed to "side chain modification," represents a fundamentally different approach that has not yet been explored in detail and that can potentially be used to prepare a whole family of structurally new polymers. 

Unlike polybutadiene, polyisoprene prepared at low temperatures shows little or no inclination to crystallize either on stretching or cooling. This may seem surprising in view of the even greater preponderance of trans-1 4 units in polyisoprene than in poly butadiene. The explanation for the contrasting behavior in this respect between low temperature synthetic polyisoprene, on the one hand, and guttapercha and low temperature polybutadiene, on the other, probably is to be found in the appreciable occurrence of head-to-head and tail-to-tail sequences of 1,4 units of the former. 

As many bromine-containing flame retardants do not dissolve in common NMR solvents (typically CDCI3 and tetrachloroethane), ll 1-NMR can not generally be applied and 13C s-NMR may then be called in. However, in favourable circumstances, e.g. for FR 1025 (poly-pentabromobenzylacrylate, Ameribrom) in PBT (Tribit 1500 GN 30), direct H 1-NMR in C2D2Cl4 of the fraction insoluble in HFIP can be used, in view of the unique resonance position of the benzylacrylate fragment in FR-1025. 

In the course of studying the reactions of Si-H compounds with dialkyltitanocenes, with a view to the synthesis of new hydridosilyltitanocene complexes, we adventitiously discovered that phenylsilane undergoes facile, quantitative dehydrogenative coupling to a linear poly(phenylsilylene) under the catalytic influence of dimethyltitanocene. The ease with which this reaction proceeds initially induced us to underestimate the significance of the observation. 

Tetra(o-aminophenyl)porphyrin, H-Co-Nl TPP, can for the purpose of electrochemical polymerization be simplistically viewed as four aniline molecules with a common porphyrin substituent, and one expects that their oxidation should form a "poly(aniline)" matrix with embedded porphyrin sites. The pattern of cyclic voltammetric oxidative ECP (1) of this functionalized metal complex is shown in Fig. 2A. The growing current-potential envelope represents accumulation of a polymer film that is electroactive and conducts electrons at the potentials needed to continuously oxidize fresh monomer that diffuses in from the bulk solution. If the film were not fully electroactive at this potential, since the film is a dense membrane barrier that prevents monomer from reaching the electrode, film growth would soon cease and the electrode would become passified. This was the case for the phenolically substituted porphyrin in Fig. 1.
