Poly(α-hydroxy acids), as a family of biodegradable polyesters, are valuable materials due to their broad applications in packaging, agriculture, and biomedical engineering. Herein we highlight and explore recent advances of catalysts in controlled ring-opening polymerization of O-carboxyanhydrides towards functionalized poly(α-hydroxy acids), especially metal catalyst-mediated controlled polymerization. Limitations of current polymerization strategies of O-carboxyanhydrides are discussed.

Synthetic polymers are mixtures of different length chains, and their chain length and chain conformation is often experimentally characterized by ensemble averages. We demonstrate that Double-Electron-Electron-Resonance (DEER) spectroscopy can reveal the chain length distribution, and chain conformation and flexibility of the individual n-mers in oligo-(9,9-dioctylfluorene) from controlled Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling Polymerization (cSMCP). The required spin-labeled chain ends were introduced efficiently via a TEMPO-substituted initiator and chain terminating agent, respectively, with an in situ catalyst system. Individual precise chain length oligomers as reference materials were obtained by a stepwise approach. Chain length distribution, chain conformation and flexibility can also be accessed within poly(fluorene) nanoparticles.

Abstract ANACONDA Alloy 360 is a leaded brass and is the alloy most often used for high-speed machining operations; it fills most of the needs for such purposes. Alloy 360 is the standard free-cutting brass and its machinability has become the standard by which all other copper-base alloys are rated. It has medium strength and ductility. Alloy 360 is used for hardware such as gears and pinions where excellent machinability is of prime importance and for all types of automatic high-speed screw-machine products. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Cu-447. Producer or source: Anaconda American Brass Company.

Abstract COPPER ALLOY NOS. C44400 and C44500 are copper-zinc-tin alloys inhibited by antimony and phosphorus, respectively. They are commonly known as inhibited admiralty metal or admiralty brass. They have a good combination of strength and ductility and good resistance to general corrosion. The small addition of inhibitor is made to minimize the alloy’s susceptibility to dezincification and stress corrosion. They are used for condenser, evaporator and heat-exchanger tubes and associated applications. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness and creep. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: CU-599. Producer or source: Copper and copper alloy mills.
