Repolymerization step

A new process, from Norway, has filled the size gap between emulsion and suspension polymerization techniques [7,8]. This novel polymerization method, the so-called swollen emulsion polymerization has been developed by Ugelstad for producing uniform polymeric particles in the size range of 2-100 /nm. This process comprises successive swelling steps and repolymerizations for increasing the particle size of seed polymer particles by keeping the monodispersity of the seed latex.

The highest yields of monomers such as TFE, HFP and C-C4F8 of aronnd 90 wt% were obtained at pyrolysis temperatures of between 645 and 600° C. Formation of oligomeric PTFE waxes can be explained by repolymerization of TFE in the cooling steps where the steam is condensed. The same phenomena occnr dnring indnstrial production of TFE. Carbon black and glass fibres have nearly no inflnence on the prodnct composition (compare Table 24.9). For the bronze-filled PTFE the yields of TFE, HFP and C-C4F8 were... 

More-complex models have been proposed to link the coal structure with volatile decomposition. The model, which considers the changes of functional groups and reactions of char-forming repolymerization (cross-linking), can predict gas species and tar in volatiles.34 36 Another model applies concepts of polymer decomposition to describe the release of tar fragments from the coal macromolecule.37 The models will not be summarized here since they are more complex than the single-step, two-step, and multiple-step models. Interested readers should consult the appropriate literature for more details.

The gapping reaction is easiest to perform with T7 exonuclease. The repol3nnerization reaction must be performed after the exonuclease has been heat denatured. Even if the repolymerization reaction appears to have produced little RF IV the DNA should be transfected regardless as we have often found high mutational efficiency is maintained with the only drawback being a lower plaque yield. Low plaque yield may be countered by the use of a Sephadex G50 DNA grade spun-column (38). This simple step removes triphosphates which have been shown to reduce plaque yield (13). Alternatively, the DNA may be precipitated under conditions which do not cause coprecipitation of triphosphates, i.e.,in the presence of 4 M ammonium acetate (39). However, employment of the bacterial strains recommended should not result in insufficient plaque yield. 

There are forms of recycling that are less familiar —in that they do not directly recycle the materials into new artifacts. Tertiary recycling breaks down the plastic to its component monomers, which can be repolymerized. This requires pyrolysis of the materials, sometimes called thermal cracking, and is most easily accomplished with step growth polymers such as polyamides and polyesters but is also possible for poly(methyl methacrylate). The processes require specialized plant, so are capital intensive, and a large-scale operation is necessary for economic viability.
