The object of the work described was to discriminate between the two principal rival theories concerning the polymerisation of 1,3-dioxacycloalkanes by anhydrous perchloric acid, the Mainz theory and the Keele theory . By means of Jaaks s method for determining tertiary oxonium ions we found that in polymerisations under the driest conditions the concentration of these is negligibly small. This was done with 1,3-dioxolane (1), 4-methyl-l,3-dioxolane (4), and 1,3-dioxepane (5), and the findings are supported by determinations of the content of hydroxy groups of polymers prepared and killed under different conditions. 

Polymer Preparation and Characterization. Bisphenol A-polysulfones of different molecular weight and sulfonated to various degrees have been prepared. In addition, the commercial Bis A-PSF has been sulfonated to various D.S. values and neutralized with sodium or potassium counter-ions. The... 

Polymer Preparation and Characterization. The results of the measurements to determine D.S. are shown in Table II. The data illustrate that the D.S. determined by the three methods are in reasonable agreement. For convenience, in the remainder of this paper the D.S. as determined by NMR will be used for reference... 

Oxadiazoles and their benzo derivatives find use in applications as diverse as pharmaceuticals, analytical reagents, propellants and explosives, starting materials in organic synthesis, and for polymer preparation and modification. 

The possibility of controlling the morphology of the product is relevant, especially in the forms of bio-polymer preparations and controlled delivery systems. Polymeric microparticles, fibers, or three-dimensional networks can be produced by tuning the operating variables. 

To enhance the usefulness of the Second Edition for both students and practitioners of the field, an extensive Appendix of rheological and thermo-mechanical properties of commercial polymers, prepared and assembled by Dr. Victor Tan, and for teachers, a complete problem Solution Manual, prepared by Dr. Dongyun Ren are included. For all it is hoped that this Second Edition, like the First, proves to be a useful professional companion .

When proteinoids were heated in buffer at pH 6.2 or 6.8, loss of catalytic activity was observed. The extent of loss ranged from 95 to 11% (Table II). Those proteinoids that initially showed higher levels of activity relative to histidine were the most affected by the heat treatment. After heating, the level of activity was comparable to that of the equivalent amount of histidine, or to that of mineral acid hydrolysates of the polymer. Under similar conditions, a-chymotrypsin was 97% inactivated. The fact that the control tests on L-histidine or A -carbo-benzoxy-L-histidine showed no effect is consistent with the inference that inactivation is due to disruption of a macromolecular conformation. Copolymers prepared from only aspartic acid and histidine were also active on NPA and were inactivated by the heat treatment. The percentages of inactivation ranged from 62 to 19. Polymers prepared and processed under aseptic conditions were both catalytically active and subject to inactivation by heat. These experiments were performed as routine verification that the respective phenomena do not result from the presence, and subsequent denaturation, of contaminating microbial enzymes.

Mechanical degradation of polymers, which refers to a process in which the activation energy for scission of the polymer is provided, at least in part, by mechanical action on the polymer [Hunston and Zakin, 1980b], imposes severe limitations on the use of polymers as DRAs and also exerts detrimental effects on other practical applications, such as in polymer preparation and in polymer use as viscosity index improvers for motor oils. Therefore, it has received considerable attention over the last several decades, and a large number of papers have been published, among which there are several review articles [Pollert and Sellin, 1989 Singh, 1990 Moussa and Tiu, 1994 Choi et al., 2000b].

This technique has been used extensively by polymer chemists to characterize the molecular weight distribution of a polymer preparation and by biochemists to desalt or separate enzymes, nucleic adds, and polysaccharides. When the procedure is applicable, it can be used very effectively on a preparative scale.

Polyoxymethylene depolymerizes into formaldehyde at 220°C. This was found to be a first-order reaction with the rate varying from 0.42 to 5.8%/min, depending upon conditions of polymer preparation and the molecular weight of the polymer [457]. 

Owing to the hydrophobic nature of POs, to overcome the lack of possible interactions with a polar substrate, suitable functionalities are inserted during the polymer preparation and/or by post-modification processes, which are generally performed in the melt by radical reactions. Acid, ester, anhydride, hydroxy, amino, oxazoline, and other functionalities have been grafted/anchored onto—or embodied into—the backbone of POs (Boffa and Novak 2000, Passaglia et al. 2009) and these functional POs have been successfully used for providing effective interactions with polar compounds. In particular, depending...

The choice of the method depends primarily on the information required. For example, in polymer preparative and kinetic studies, a knowledge of the number of molecules produced is important, so a method giving the number-average molecular weight is chosen. On the other hand, mechanical properties often depend on the weight-average molecular weight.
