Isomeric polymers can also be obtained from a single monomer if there is more than one polymerization route. The head-to-head placement that can occur in the polymerization of a vinyl monomer is isomeric with the normal head-to-tail placement (see structures III and IV in Sec. 3-2a). Isomerization during carbocation polymerization is another instance whereby isomeric structures can be formed (Sec. 5-2b). Monomers with two polymerizable groups can yield isomeric polymers if one or the other of the two alternate polymerization routes is favored. Examples of this type of isomerism are the 1,2- and 1,4-polymers from 1,3-dienes (Secs. 3-14f and 8-10), the separate polymerizations of the alkene and carbonyl double bonds in ketene and acrolein (Sec. 5-7a), and the synthesis of linear or cyclized polymers from non-conjugated dienes (Sec. 6-6b). The different examples of constitutional isomerism are important to note from the practical viewpoint, since the isomeric polymers usually differ considerably in their properties. 

In another study, all of the above monomers were separately polymerized as a solution in l-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) at a concentration of 5-6% solids, and at 202 °C, overnight [14]. If the solutions were heated longer than this, they were reported to either deposit solids or else form gels. The gels from 84 and 86 were not soluble in organic solvents but did swell. On the other hand the polymer from 91 was partially soluble in NMP (approximately 50% of the polymer mass) and this soluble fraction had an inherent viscosity of 0.34 dL/g at a concentration of 0.39 g/dL. The Tg of this soluble fraction was determined to be 291 °C. No further data was provided about this latter material or any of the other monomer/polymers discussed above. 

Another hazy boundary separates polymeric and metallic substances. We have already noted the case of iodine, which can be described as a molecular solid but which might also be viewed as a two-dimensional polymer having incipient metallic properties. Elemental tellurium, whose chain structure was described earlier in this section, has pronounced metallic properties. Each Te atom is bonded to two others at a distance of 284 pm, and this connectivity leads to a helical chain. However, each Te atom is bonded to four more in other chains, at a distance of 350 pm. These longer Te-Te contacts are apparently responsible for the metallic properties. 

The polymerization was conducted in a 50-gal. pilot plant reactor using the charge procedure described by Jones and Schaefer. (A) The polymerization was seeded with a PVC seed latex produced in a separate polymerization. During the... 

Microdialysis was achieved in a fused silica chip with in situ photopattemed porous membrane, as shown in Figure 5.13. Phase-separation polymerization of the membrane (7-50 pm thick) was formed between posts. The posts maximize the mechanical strength of the membrane so that it can withstand a pressure drop of 1 bar. Low MW cutoff (MWCO) membrane, which can be formed by using less organic solvent, 2-methoxyethanol, appears to be more transparent (see Figure 5.13). This low MWCO membrane can be used to dialyze away low MW molecules, such as rhodamine 560, but not fluorescently labeled proteins (insulin, BSA, anti-biotin, and lactalbumin). Fligh MWCO membrane, which was formed by more organic solvent, allows diffusion of lactalbumin [347]. 

FIGURE 5.13 Left low MWCO membrane (deionized water 2-methoxyethanol = 3.7 1). Right high MWCO membrane (deionized water 2-methoxyethanol = 0.34 1). The post diameter is 50 pm. For phase-separation polymerization, the monomer is 2-(N-3-sulfo-propyl-N,N-dimethylammonium) ethyl methacrylate, the cross-tinker is methylene bisacry-lamide, and the plotoinitiator is 2,2 -azobis(2-methylpropanimidamide dihydrochloride). To prevent unwanted polymerization that may occur by heat and molecular diffusion outside the UV-irradiated region, a polymerization inhibitor, hydroquinone, is also added. To facilitate covalent attachment of the porous membrane to the silica surface, it is first coated with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylacrylate [347].

A separate polymerization was carried out under identical conditions but, for this experiment, the polybutadiene fraction was separated by the double precipitation described in the Experimental section. As expected, the apparent degree of grafting was in general 50% lower than that... 

Copolymer. A compound in which two or more different unit structures are repeated at random throughout the body of the molecule usually, a high polymer composed of large numbers of two or more different but chemically related groups joined together at random, giving a compound with properties different from those of a mere mixture of the separately polymerized constituents. 

Simultaneous operations are placed in parentheses to distinguish them from sequential operations. Square brackets distinguish separate polymerizations, where their products are later mixed and/or reacted. In a formal sense, the parentheses and brackets constitute operations in their own right. 

When the appropriate precautions are taken the method appears particularly suited for measuring very low tensions 10 mN m sometimes even as low as 10 mN m ). Such ultralow tensions are for example encountered in micro-emulsion systems and in just phase-separated polymeric or micellar solutions. For phase-separated colloid-polymer systems de Hoog and Lekkerkerker ) even reported values down to a few pN m , reproducibly being obtained after implementing a number of methodical improvements. (Alternatives for low tensions are the sessile and pending (micro-) drop but these do not usually go below 10 mN m ) Commercial apparatus are nowadays available. A variant proposed by Than et al. J employs a thin rod in the axis of the cylinder, to reduce spin-up time and suppress drift. Another variant, proposed by Kokov, analyses the centrifugal field required to squeeze liquid out of an orifice" ).

Finally, a third category of crystallization is separate polymerization and crystallization. In this case the polymer molecule is completed in the dissolved or molten state before crystallization commences. The usual crystallization from the poljoner melt or solution are such processes. There is no question about the separate treatment of polymerization and crystallization step. Complications, however, are still possible if the polymer molecules are produced in a special conformation and crystallization begins before randomization. 

The large number of reactions which lead to crystallization during polymerization illustrate the importance of the study of these reactions. The chemical reaction is in many of these cases coupled to the cooperative crystallization process which leads to certain effects foreign to separate polymerization reactions. This last section of the review will summarize the conclusions which can be drawn about nucleation and crystal growth, about crystal perfection, about the difference between crystals grown during polymerization and crystals grown after polymerization, and about polymerization in the solid state. 

Chemically bonded silica gels with cyanopropyl, aminopropyl, and diol functional groups are also available and each has been used for normal-phase as well as reversed-phase separations. Polymeric-based packings are available and can be used for ion-exchange or reversed-phase applications. Cross-linked polymeric based packings have been combined with ion-exchange materials to create a more pH-stable stationary phase. Graphitized carbon... 

To create an ideal stand-alone and spherical shape NLO material that does not involve the complexity of incorporating NLO dye in a separate polymeric matrix, multiple NLO chromophore building blocks can be further placed into a dendrim-... 

In titrations at pH 5.20 and 5.00 the size of Alb units, as indicated by the OHb/Alb ratio seems to reach a maximum at 2.4, which could be interpreted as a boundary in the transition of Alb to Ale, microcrystalline gibbsite. Some additional support for this hypothesis can be obtained from experiments of Parthasarathy and Ruffle (8), who used ultrafiltration to separate polymeric Alb from Ale. They observed that the polymeric material passed through a filter having a nominal porosity of 20 X. Preliminary experiments we have made with this technique indicated that our Alb fraction also can pass through this membrane, but Ale docs not. 

The preparation of polymers for evaluation as plastic materials usually involves complicated procedures and the use of commercial grade materials. Consequently, each preparation tends to reflect different kinetic features, and, therefore, for kinetically controlled feeding to be accurate, one must know for certain the kinetic course of each separate reaction. Measurement of the heat evolved as the copolymerization proceeds provides a means of following the reaction. Thus, use of a calorimeter as the reaction vessel permits idiosyncrasies in the kinetics of each separate polymerization to be taken into account, and then the feeding can follow variations accurately in rate as the polymerization proceeds. 

Stage-by-stage preparation of gas-liquid mixture in tubular turbulent apparatus and distribution of its introduction to the parallel working polymerizers allows receipt of copolymers with equal properties in various reactors and at other equal conditions of polymerization the increase of total process productivity was observed and productivities of separate polymerizes by this became identical (see 5.3.2).
