AbstractA novel facile method was developed to prepare methylcellulose from miscanthus, cardoon and eucalyptus. Pulps were obtained by the impregnation rapid steam pulping process (IRSP). A total-chlorine-free (TCF) method was used to bleach the pulps with hydrogen peroxide. Bleached pulps were mercerized in 40% NaOH solution for one hour at ambient temperature. Mercerized cellulose reacted with iodomethane in 2-propanol slurry at 60°C for 22 h. Mercerization and methylation were repeated. Intrinsic viscosities of methylcellulose were measured in 4% NaOH solution. Super-molecular substitution patterns of methylcellulose were determined by 13C NMR. Molecular weights of methylcellulose were measured in dimethyl sulfoxide by gel permeation chromatography. Pulping severity is a key factor influencing the properties of the methylcellulose prepared.

Medium Silt

Organic matter (OM) in the Bainsville and Melfort soils, and in coarse clay and medium silt fractions separated from these soils, was extracted under N2 with 0.5 M NaOH and unadjusted 0.1 M Na4P2O7 solutions. pH ranges of the soils and fractions in contact for 24 h with 0.5 M NaOH and 0.1 M Na4P2O7 solutions extended from 12.2 to 12.6 and 9.0 to 9.4, respectively. Slightly greater proportions of the soil-carbon were extracted by 0.5 M NaOH than by 0.1 M Na4P2O7 solution. The differences, however, did not appear to be significant and may vary from soil to soil. The efficiency of extraction and the characteristics of the extracted materials were assessed on humic acids (HAs), which were isolated from the extracts. From the Bainsville soil and fractions, 0.1 M Na4P2O7 solution extracted more high-molecular weight and more deeply colored HAs than did 0.5 M NaOH solution. But HAs extracted from the Melfort soil and fractions had similar molecular weights and colours. 13C NMR spectra showed that HAs extracted by 0.1 M Na4P2O7 solution tended to be more aromatic than HAs extracted by 0.5 M NaOH solution. Well defined solid-state 13C NMR spectra of HAs, containing up to 69.0% ash, could be recorded. Unadjusted 0.1 M Na4P2O7 solution under N2 was found to be an attractive alternative to 0.5 M NaOH solution as an extractant for soil OM.

Enzyme I

Two arylamidases (I and II) were purified from human erythrocytes by a procedure that comprised removal of haemoglobin from disrupted cells with CM-Sephadex D-50, followed by treatment of the haemoglobin-free preparation subsequently with DEAE-cellulose, gel-permeation chromatography on Sephadex G-200, gradient solubilization on Celite, isoelectric focusing in a pH gradient from 4 to 6, gel-permeation chromatography on Sephadex G-100 (superfine), and finally affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B covalently coupled to L-arginine. In preparative-scale purifications, enzymes I and II were separated at the second gel-permeation chromatography. Enzyme II was obtained as a homogeneous protein, as shown by several criteria. Enzyme I hydrolysed, with decreasing rates, the L-amino acid 2-naphtylamides of lysine, arginine, alanine, methionine, phenylalanine and leucine, and the reactions were slightly inhibited by 0.2 M-NaCl. Enzyme II hydrolysed most rapidly the corresponding derivatives of arginine, leucine, valine, methionine, proline and alanine, in that order, and the hydrolyses were strongly dependent on Cl-. The hydrolysis of these substrates proceeded rapidly at physiological Cl- concentration (0.15 M). The molecular weights (by gel filtration) of enzymes I and II were 85 000 and 52 500 respectively. The pH optimum was approx. 7.2 for both enzymes. The isoelectric point of enzyme II was approx. 4.8. Enzyme I was activated by Co2+, which did not affect enzyme II to any noticeable extent. The kinetics of reactions catalysed by enzyme I were characterized by strong substrate inhibition, but enzyme II was not inhibited by high substrate concentrations. The Cl- activated enzyme II also showed endopeptidase activity in hydrolysing bradykinin.

End Groups

The structures of some poly(organosilylenes), [Formula: see text] (R = Ph, p-tolyl, n-hexyl, and benzyl), produced by catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of primary silanes have been studied by infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectroscopies. These results, combined with data on molecular weights and molecular weight distributions from vapour pressure osmometry and gel permeation chromatography, lead to the conclusion that the polymers are linear and have SiH2R end groups. The polymers all have degrees of polymerization of ca. 10 and very narrow molecular weight dipersions. Some possible features of the mechanism that gives rise to this behaviour are discussed.

Step Growth

Poly(phenylene silane)s were constructed by step-growth copolymerization between difunctional Grignard reagents and dichlorodimethylsilane in moderate yields. 1H NMR spectroscopy confirmed the structure of the desired copolymers. Gel permeation chromatography showed narrow molecular dispersibility and conceivable molecular weights. Based on thermogravimetric analysis and luminescence studies, the synthesized copolymers were found to act as potential emitters in organic light-emitting diode displays.

AbstractA series of novel aromatic copolyimides was synthesized from pyromellitic dianhydride with the commercial diamine 4,4’-methylenebisaniline (MBA) and the diamine 4,4’-methylenebis(2-tert-butylaniline) (MBTBA) specially designed by ourselves. The solubility of the copolyimides in conventional solvents decreased with the mole ratio of MBTBA to MBA. When MBTBA/MBA was larger than 8/2, the copolyimides are soluble in low boiling point solvents (such as chloroform and tetrahydrofuran) and can form a transparent, flexible, tough film by solution casting. When MBTBA/MBA was between 7/3 and 5/5, the copolyimides are only soluble in dipolar aprotic solvents (such as dimethylformamide and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) and form films, too. The copolyimide was precipitated in m-cresol in the polymerization process when MBTBA/MBA was lower than 5/5. The number-average molecular weights of the soluble copolyimides measured by gel permeation chromatography were larger than 5.0·104 and the polydispersity index was higher than 1.5. Only one glass transition of these copolyimides was detected at around 350°C. The copolyimides did not show appreciable decomposition up to 400°C under air and 550°C under nitrogen, and their thermal stability increased a little with the introduction of MBA into the polymer chains.
