Structure of PAM

The structure of the PAM obtained during formation of the plates has been studied through scanning electron microscopy and a model for this structure has been proposed, see Fig. 3.20 [35-37]. The following two structural levels can be 

S04 ions and water to move between the plate interior and the bulk of the electrolyte. Thus, the macrostructural level provides the main transport system in the PAM. 

The type of macrostructure that will be formed in the PAM depends on the size of the crystals in the cured paste. Crystals and particles of 3BS, 4BS, PbO, and PbS04 are converted into aggregates and agglomerates, which build up the macrostructure of the PAM. It should be noted that 3BS and 4BS crystals, as well as PbO particles, vary in size. Three different types of macrostructures are formed, as follows. 

From electron micrographs of Pb02 particles which are interconnected in agglomerates (Fig. 3.23 and 3.24), the following types of particles can be distinguished  

A transmission electron micrograph and a diagrammatic representation of the phase composition (determined by electron dilfraction analysis) of a particle of formed PAM are presented in Fig. 3.26. The electron dilfraction analysis demonstrates the predominance of zones with (3-Pb02 structure in the middle part of the particle. By contrast, the uppermost and bottom parts, which are far more electron-transparent, have an amorphous structure. A PbS04 nucleus is also detected in the bottom part near the amorphous zone.

When more than 80 wt% Pb304 vs. the total paste amount is used for paste preparation, the formed PAM contains mostly P-Pb02- Such a structure of PAM is rather brittle and easily disintegrates, which shortens the life of the battery substantially. Therefore, the use of high percent loads of Pb304 in the paste is acceptable only for tubular positive plates, where PAM is enclosed in tubes. 

The above amount of Pb02 ) comprises only the energetic structure of PAM, which will take part in the electrochemical reaction of discharge. In order to calculate the total PAM weight, we should also take into account the skeleton structure of PAM, which does not participate in the reaction.

The shape-persistent, structurally well-defined nature of PAMs and PDMs make them attractive models for binding guest molecules within their cavities. In 1995, Hoger and Enkelmann reported the construction of the first meta/para-PAM/PDM hybrid designed to possess hydrophobic and hydrophilic substituents for subsequent use in host guest chemistry [71]. Macrocyclic amphiphile 116 was assembled via the straightforward manner depicted in Scheme 26. 

Host-guest systems made from dendritic materials have potential in the areas of membrane transport and drug delivery [68, 84, 85]. In a recent report [136] Tomalia and coworkers investigated structural aspects of a series of PAM AM bolaamphiphiles (e.g., 50) with a hydrophobic diamino do decane core unit. Fluorescence emission of added dye (nile red) was significantly enhanced in an aqueous medium in the presence of 50 unlike the cases when 51 and 52 were added (Fig. 23). Addition of anion surfactants to this mixture generated supramolecular assemblies which enhanced their ability (ca.by 10-fold) to accommodate nile red (53). Further increase in emission was noted by decreasing the pH from the normal value of 11 for PAMAM dendrimers to 7. At lower pH values the... 

Polyacrylic acid (PAA) was obtained from Scientific Polymers, Inc., Ontario, NY, as a secondary standard with a mass-averaged molecular weight of two million. The polyacrylamide (PAM) used was Separan MGL obtained from Dow Chemical Company, Midland, MI. Its reported molecular weight was in the range of 500,000 to 5,000,000. The monomer structures of PAA and PAM are illustrated in Figure 1.

(B) HPLC chromatograms of purified lipopeptides. Analysis by HPLC was performed on a Waters HPLC System using a Vydac C4 column with 0.1% TFA in water and 0.1% TFA in acetonitrile as a gradient mobile phase. A flow rate of 1 mL/min was used at a gradient of 2%/min. Chromatograms were obtained by the detection of absorbance at a wavelength of 214 nm. (C) Mass spectral analysis of purified lipopeptides. Lipopeptides were analyzed by mass spectrometry using an Agilent 1100 Series LCM/MSD ion trap.

The standard treatment of nerve agent-induced muscle toxicity calls for (1) reactivation of the phosphorylated AChE with an oxime, and (2) blockage of the nicotinic ACh receptor sites from the stimulating action of ACh with fii-tubocurarine. Oximes such as obidoxime, pralidoxime (2-pyridine aldoxime methochloride, 2-PAM) and a few others have been found very effective when given in combination with other drugs such as atropine, pretreatment with oximes varies with the ehemieal structures of the nerve agents and depends on the time after exposure. For example, it has been...
