    Thermoplastic elastomers: structural and morphological aspects of ether-esteramide copolymers

    No full text
    Polyesteramide 6NT6 (I)-polytetramethylene ether glycol (II) copolymers, pptd. from dil. soln. were studied by small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle x-ray scattering (WAXS) with variation of the II content. A comparison of the structural characteristics of these materials was made with those of I, which consists of -CO-p-C6H4CONH(CH2)6NHCO-p-C6H4CO2(CH2)6O- units. Chain folding is assumed as the crystn. mechanism for the low-II content copolymers, with possible inclusion of polyether segments within the I crystal lattice. WAXS data support the view of a weakening of the I cryst. packing in the equatorial planes as the reason for broadening of the diffraction peaks, for changes in their relative intensities, and for the increase in the equatorial interplanar distances in the high-II content samples. The annealing behavior was investigated

    Selective hydrogenation of ketones and olefins over polymer-bound Rhodium catalysts

    No full text
    Selective hydrogenation of olefins and ketones promoted by polymer-bound cationic rhodium(I) catalysts is reported. A different catalytic behaviour is found depending on the substituents on the phosphorus atom of the polymeric ligand. The effect of the polymer on the stability of supported complexes towards reduction, and on the fate of the catalysts is discussed. In some cases polymer trapped Rh11 compounds are present at the end of the catalytic cycle. © 1975

    Chiral 1-phenylethanol, 1-cyclohexylethanol, 2-octanol, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-ol, and trans-3-penten-2-ol have been prepd. in high enantiomeric excess (> 80%) via enantioselective acetylation of the corresponding racemic alcs. using immobilized crude lipase (Pseudomonas sp. from Amano) in supercrit. carbon dioxide.

    DOPING KINETICS OF POLYACETYLENE IN THE SHORT RANGE

    No full text
    The kinetics of doping with I of polyacetylene films, synthesized by the H. Shirakawa technique (Ito, T. S.; Ikeda, S., 1974) was studied by measuring the variation of elec. cond. and IR absorbance at 1400, 1023, and 750 cm-1 within the 1st min of doping. The doping process occurs within ≥3 steps whose rate consts. differ by orders of magnitude. An attempt was made to elaborate a kinetic model for the doping process, and the activation energies are calcd
