Structure of precursor

The structure of precursors, the number of functional groups per precursor molecule, and the reaction path leading to the final network all play important roles in the final structure of the polymer network. Some thermosets can be considered homogeneous ideal networks relative to a reference state. It is usually the case when networks are prepared by step copolymerization of two monomers (epoxy-diamine or triol-diisocyanate reactions) at the stoichiometric ratio and at full conversion.

Figure 10.3 Plasma polymerization by the precursor concept chemical structure of precursors determines structure of plasma polymers.

In an attempt to consider some extent of fragmentation of the monomer as well as to explain polymerization of simple organic molecules that are not considered monomers, plasma polymerization mechanisms are often explained by assuming plasma-induced precursors, which have polymerizable structures. The precursor concept is detailed in Figure 10.3. It is significantly different from the simple process described in Figure 10.2 however, it still depends on a simple deposition process from precursors to plasma polymer. This concept intuitively assumes that the structure of a plasma polymer can be predicted from the structures of precursors.

A simple way to avoid the disruption of label coherence by cyclic metabolic processes is the use of complex precursors from a relatively late stage of a biosynthetic pathway under study. However, this approach is subject to other limitations such as the failure to make the correct guess with regard to the structure of precursors, the failure of correctly guessed precursors to reach the intracellular site of the biosynthetic process under study,or the impossibility of preparing or otherwise obtaining a multilabeled specimen at an acceptable price and/or effort. 

An extensive numerical study on such heterogeneous three-step processes has been given by Stone and Morgan (1987). The adsorption-desorption kinetics of divalent metal ions is fast Yasunaga and Ikeda (1986) report relaxation times in the order of milliseconds to seconds. The pH as a master variable governs the adsorption of Fe(II) in the preceding example. The elucidation of adsorption equilibria and the structure of precursor complexes such as (=Fen,-0-Fen)+ at the mineral surface is therefore a prerequisite for the study of heterogeneous redox kinetics.

The structures of precursors to Fr6chet-type dendrimers have been proven by high field 2D-NMR at 750 MHz. These techniques can be very useful for the characterization of dendrimers, and to obtain the unambiguous chemical shift assignments of their NMR resonances. 

The amplitnde of the applied AC dipole is another important parameter for optimal fragmentation in GC/MS/MS experiments. The amplitude of the resonant supplemental AC dipole field to effect fragmentation depends not only on the various instrumental parameters, but on the chemical structure of precursor ions also. 

Mainly organic materials are pyrolyzed for the production of activated carbon, CFs and CNFs [54]. The type of atmosphere used in the pyrolysis of various materials can be inert such as and Argon or oxidative such as Oj, depending on the desired properties of the resultant carbon material. However, the atmosphere and the gas flow rate should be carefully controlled during the pyrolysis [55]. The molecular structure of precursors breaks down during the pyrolysis, which leads to the formation of gaseous species, tar and a carbon rich residue (Figure 3.10) [56].
