Weight Effect

Polycarboxylate was synthesized by using polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether methyl-acrylate (PEG16), methylacrylamide sodium (MAS), methacrylic acid (MAA), methyl acrylate (MA), acryl amide (AM), and sodium persulfate (SPS) and evaluated as a superplasticizer for cement particles. The formulation of the superplasticizer: n (PEG16): n (MAS): n (MAA): n (MA): n (AM) =10:18:20:37:20, and the content of the SPS was 1.2wt% of all the monomers and optimized reaction conditions (80°C, 6h) were obtained via orthogonal test and single factor experiments. The water reducing effect of the synthesized copolymers was studied in terms of reaction temperature, reaction time and PEG side chain length. In this study, flow test of cement paste measurements were performed to compare the molecular weight effect on fluidity of the copolymers. It was observed that the reaction temperature had a noticeable effect on the molecular weight of the PEG-grafted samples thus causing a significant effect on fluidity. The polycarboxylate synthesized at about 80°C has given the highest fluidity result. In addition, the reaction time 6~7 hrs was identified for the best. Furthermore, copolymers with mPEG side chains with a degree of 16 gave the highest fluidity and viscosity average molecular weight value. The initial fluidity of the cement paste containing the prepared superplasticizer (1wt%, w(water)/w(cement)=(0.29)) was 316 mm.

Aqueous solutions of a 1 weight-per cent poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) were degassed under vacuum, transferred to a parallel plate viscometer under a nitrogen gas blanket, and exposed to Co60 gamma radiation. The Co60 source was rated at 4000 curies, and the dose ratewas 3.8x105 rads/hr. The poly (ethylene oxide) employed in the irradiations had an initial viscosity average molecular weight of 2.1 x 106.The solutions were gelled by a free radical reaction with dosages ranging from 5x104 rads to 4.8x106 rads.

The sequential polypeptides (Lys-Ala)n, (Lys-Ala-Ala)n, (Lys-Ala-Ala-Ala)n, (Lys-Leu-Ala)n, (Lys-Leu-Ala-Ala)n, (Lys-Leu-Ala-Ala-Ala)n, (Lys-Ala-Leu)n, (Lys-Ala-Leu-Ala)n, (Orn-Leu-Ala)n,(Arg-Ala-Ala)n, (Arg-Leu-Ala)n, (Arg-Leu-Ala-Ala)n, (Arg-Ala-Leu)n, and (Arg-Ala-Leu-Ala)n were synthesized by polymerization of active esters (1-succinimidyl or pentafluorophenyl) of the corresponding Nα-deblocked monomers. The monomers were prepared using the usual methods of peptide synthesis in solution. Upon dialysis, the average molecular weight of the polymer was 6 000-9 000 as determined by sedimentation in ultracentrifuge. Polypeptides, containing leucine in addition to the basic amino acid, showed a marked tendency to aggregation. CD spectra of the products were measured for characterization.

Catalytic activity of the tungsten aryloxo complexes WCl5(OAr) and WOCl3(OAr), where Ar = 4-t-C4H9C6H4, 2,6-(t-C4H9)2C6H3, 2,6-Cl2C6H3, 2,4,6-Cl3C6H2, and 2,4,6-Br3C6H2 in polymerization of phenylacetylene (20 °C, monomer to catalyst molar ratio = 1 000) was studied. The activity of WCl5(OAr) as unicomponent catalysts increases with increasing electron withdrawing character of the -OAr ligand. Addition of two equivalents of organotin cocatalysts (Me4Sn, Bu4Sn, Ph4Sn, Bu3SnH) to WCl5(O-C6H2Cl3-2,4 ,6) has only slight positive effect (slightly higher polymer yield and/or molecular weight of poly(phenylacetylene)s was achieved). However, in the case of WOCl3(O-C6H3Cl2-2, 6) catalyst, it enhances the activity considerably by eliminating the induction period. Poly(phenylacetylene)s prepared with the catalysts studied have weight-average molecular weight ranging from 100 000 to 200 000. They are trans-prevailing and have relatively low molar fraction of monomer units comprised in cyclohexadiene sequences (about 6%).
