The photooxidative degradation of a TiO 2 -blended poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) film and other PVC specimens was carried out under UV light and under solar exposure to test the feasibility that such polymeric materials can be mineralized. The effects of the degree of polymerization and the presence of a plasticizer ( o…

The applicability of the Hoffman−Weeks (HW) linear extrapolation for the determination of equilibrium melting temperatures of polymers is critically reviewed. In the first paper of this series, it is shown that the linear extrapolation of observed melting temperatures cannot, in general, provide a reliable estimate of…
The Rayleigh-Rice (R-R) vector perturbation theory agrees well with experimental wide-angle scatter measurements from 'smooth' surfaces for arbitrary incident angles. However, not all applications of interest satisfy the smooth surface approximation. The Beckmann-Kirchoff (B-K) scalar diffraction theory of surface sca…
The interaction of tungsten with hydrogen peroxide was studied by Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements. We found that W catalyzes the decomposition of peroxide into its ion, while the native oxide of W becomes increasingly hydrated and soluble. The decay of the peroxide concentration upon immersion of W…
Abstract
Dendritic polypyridines were analysed by laser desorption (LD) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. For all the compounds examined, readily detectable cationized molecular species have been obtained under LD conditions, while for MALDI a strong matrix effect has been found, leadin…
The effect of tacticity on the thermal degradation behavior under nitrogen of poly(methacrylic acid)s has been investigated. The structural changes occurring in the polymer chains during the first of the two stages of decomposition, at temperatures lower than 300 °C, were followed by FTIR and NMR. In this stage, the d…

F420H2:NADP oxidoreductase is found in methanogenic, sulfate-reducing and halophilic archaea and also in some bacteria. The putative gene encoding the enzyme was cloned from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum (strain Marburg) and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The overproduced active enzyme was purifi…
The synthesis of a series of new high-barrier poly(hydroxy amide ethers) is described. The polymers are formed by the reactions of aromatic diglycidyl ethers, with N, N ‘-bis(3-hydroxyphenyl)adipamide, HOC 6 H 4 NHCO(CH 2 ) 4 CONHC 6 H 4 OH, at 140−160 °C in propylene glycol monophenyl ether solvent using ethyltriphen…
Protein S, a two-domain spore coat protein from Myxococcus xanthus, is structurally related to eye-lens Pr crystallins. No natural monomeric one-domain member of this protein superfamily is known. To determine the stability of the single domains and to explain the ubiquitous domain duplication, the isolated domains of…
Abstract
The self-diffusion properties of a poly(styrene- b -isoprene) diblock copolymer ( M PS = 10000, M PI = 13000) in a lamellar microstructure have been determined by forced Rayleigh scattering. Diffusion coefficients along the lamellar interface ( D par ) and through the layers ( D perp ) were resolved. The lamellae were…
The cuboctameric silsesquioxane silanol ( c -C 5 H 9 ) 7 Si 8 O 12 (OH) has been applied as a model support for silica-grafted olefin polymerization catalysts. Complexes of the type Cp‘‘[( c -C 5 H 9 ) 7 Si 8 O 13 ]TiX 2 (Cp‘‘ = 1,3-C 5 H 3 (SiMe 3 ) 2; X = Cl, CH 2 Ph) form active α-olefin polymerization catalysts.
The ground- and excited-state properties of a series of p -phenylene-linked porphyrin dimers have been examined using a variety of static and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. The dimers consist of a zinc porphyrin and a free base (Fb) porphyrin (ZnFbΦ), two zinc porphyrins (Zn 2 Φ), or two Fb porphyrins (Fb 2 Φ…
A high resolution optical method was used to acquire contact angle−velocity data for hexadecane and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS) advancing and receding on a smooth, virtually homogeneous fluorinated surface. The predictive abilities of the hydrodynamic, molecular−kinetic and combined molecular−hydrodynamic mod…
Raman microscopy was used to investigate microstructural properties of amorphous MoO 3 thin films that had been subjected to a photochromic (PC) or electrochromic (EC) process. The Raman spectra changed reversibly when the films went through PC or EC coloration and decoloration cycles. Different molybdenum bronzes wer…
Studies of the temperature dependence of spherulitic growth rates, in the context of the Lauritzen−Hoffman secondary nucleation theory, and investigations of the crystallization time and temperature dependence of the melting behavior, in the context of the nonlinear Hoffman−Weeks (HW) extrapolation, are reported for i…
The Hall resistivity rho_{xy} of a La_{2/3}(Ca,Pb)_{1/3}MnO_3 single crystal has been measured as a function of temperature and field. The overall behavior is similar to that observed previously in thin-films. At 5 K, rho_{xy} is positive and linear in field, indicating that the anomalous contribution $R_S$ is negligi…
