Ethylene-1,2-cyclopentane random copolymers from cyclocopolymerization of ethylene/1,3-butadiene
No full textCrystalline methylene-1,2-cyclopentane (E-1,2CP) random copolymers, containing up to 15% of cyclic
units, are obtained in high yields by copolymerization of ethylene and 1,3-butadiene in the presence of
rac-[CH2(3-methyl-1-indenyl)2]ZrCl2/MAO catalyst. The highly selective formation of trans methylene-
1,2-cyclopentane units occurs by an intramolecular insertion of the double bond pendant from polymeril
chain after an unusual primary vinyl insertion of 1,3-butadiene. Thermal properties and structure of
E-1,2CP copolymers, as function of 1,2-cyclopentane molar content, are analyzed and compared with
those of other ethylene copolymers. The variation in melting temperature and crystallinity observed in
E-1,2CP copolymers is consistent with that observed for ethylene copolymers with comonomers bulkier
than propylene. Moreover, the 1,2-cyclopentane units, as well as comonomers bulkier than propylene,
cause only slight deformations of polyethylene orthorhombic unit cell parameters. These data are
rationalized by assuming that 1,2-cyclopentane units, are confined in amorphous phase, while the
polyethylene crystalline phase remains pure

Scale and scope economies in the European banking systems
No full textThe increasing competition induced by the European integration is leading to an intense
process of consolidation among European banks, very similar to that, which occurred in the
US banking industry in the 1980s. In this paper, we test if cost improvements in output
efficiency are likely to emerge from the ongoing process and to derive some implications for
the future market structure. Our results support the view that recent regulatory changes and
progresses in technology have contributed to raising the optimal scale. We show that mergers
should be oriented to increase bank scale for small banks and to expand into new product
lines for large banks
Do environmental variables affect the performance and technical efficiency of the European banking systems? A parametric analysis using the Stochastic Frontier Approach
No full textDo environmental variables affect the performance and technical efficiency of the European banking System? A parametric analysis using the stochastic frontier approach
No full textThe paper compares the efficiency of the European banking systems in view of the constitution of the European Monetary Union . Since competition among banks will increase, it is important to identify the most efficient banking system able to play a role in that market. A parametric approach is adopted based on the estimation of a stochastic cost frontier. This methodology enables one to measure X-inefficiency and to model it as a function of environmental variables which may influence firms’ efficiency. By means of this analysis it is possible to identify the most efficient banking systems and to focus on the determinants of deviations from cost minimizing. The analysis highlights significant efficiency gaps among the performances of banks in different countries and of different institutional types. In particular, it is found that the Mittel-European model is the one that operates closest to the efficient frontier. This may indicate that, compared with separated banks, the universal banking system allows for production plans which come closer to the optimal frontier. The analysis suggests that, at the beginning of European Monetary Union , national barriers and regulator y frameworks are still responsible for deviation from the efficient frontier

Infrared spectra and thermal reactivity of ethene copolymers containing 1,2-cyclopropane units
No full textA comparison between 13C NMR spectra of polymer solutions and Fourier transform infrared spectra of polymer films for several ethene–butadiene copolymers, including most butadiene as 1,2-cyclopropane and 1,2-cyclopentane units, is presented. This spectral comparison, also with the help of a low-molecular-mass model compound specifically synthesized for this purpose, has allowed to locate infrared absorbances associated with the cyclic comonomer units. In particular, a satisfactory calibration curve for evaluation of the amount of the reactive cyclopropane units, from the absorbance of the 1020 cmK1 band, has been achieved. An analysis of 1,2-cyclopropane unit reactivity in annealed films, has also pointed out that the presence of remnants of the polymerization catalyst can produce large increase in cyclopropane reactivity.
