Whenever a new high strength fiber is developed, its potential for tire cord use is always explored because of the commercial attraction of large volumes available in the tire market. Few materials have emeiged to displace the current two major fibers, nylon and polyester (14). Nonetheless, many examples of fibers offering attractive properties for tire cords have been reported in the literature, eg, polyethylene ketone (17), poly(paraphenylene benzobisoxazole) (18), acrylics (19), and high strength poly (vinyl alcohol) (20) (see Vinyl polymers). 

The B —> A conformational transition can be induced in solution, for example by increasing the ionic strength (poly dG. poly dC exhibits the B form in 0.1 M NaCl and shows the A form in 4 M NaCl (Nishimura et al., 1986)). Another option is to work in aqueous ethanolic solution containing more than 80% alcohol (native DNA, Martin and Wartell, 1982). In all of these cases, the conformation is characterized by the previously discussed marker lines in the respective Raman spectra. 

Poly(A)-poly(dT) shows hypochromicity at 260 nm a triple-helix can form with excess poly(dT) but only in solutions of high ionic strength. Poly(dA) and poly(U) form only a triple helix, with hypochromicity at all wavelengths from 220 to 285 nm. ... 

Figure 11-25. Wohler curve for the alternating flexural stress applied to a high-impact-strength poly(styrene) (SAN), a humid polyamide (PA), and a poly(styrene) (PS). The flexural stressa is measured as a function of the number N of alternations in the load. Read PA instead of PAN.

For monolithic disk synthesis, solutions of NBE, DMN-H6, and tris(norborn-5-ene-2-ylmethylenoxy)methylsilane, respectively, in 2-propanol and toluene (25 25 41 9, all wt.%) were subject to ROMP using the first-generation Gmbbs initiator RUCI2 (PCy3)2(CHPh) and triphenylphosphine (PPhs) as modulator. To come up with disks with sufficient mechanical strength, poly (amide) membranes were soaked with the polymerization mixture (Scheme 33). This way, membrane-supported monolithic disks up to 2 mm in thickness were realized. These disks were successfully used for the preconcentration of iodine and selected organic solutes from dilute aqueous samples by SPE. Quantitative measurement of the extracted solutes was achieved by diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) directly on the surface of the disk.
