ABSTRACTCurrent polyamide 11 and 12 are lacking in fire retardancy and high strength/high heat resistance characteristics for fabricated parts that are required for performance driven applications. The introduction of selected nanoparticles such as carbon nanofibers (CNFs), combined with a conventional intumescent flame retardant (FR) additive into the polyamide 11/polyamide 12 (PA11/PA12) by melt processing conditions has resulted in a family of intumescent polyamide nanocomposites. These intumescent PA11 and PA12 nanocomposites exhibit enhanced polymer performance characteristics, i.e., fire retardancy, high strength, and high heat resistance and are expected to expand the market opportunities for resin manufacturers. The overall objective of this research is to develop improved PA11 and PA12 polymers with enhanced flame retardancy, thermal, and mechanical properties for selective laser sintering (SLS) rapid manufacturing. Arkema RILSAN® PA11 polymer was examined with CNFs and Clairant Exolit® OP 1230 intumescent FR additive. They were used to create a family of FR intumescent PA11-CNF nanocomposites. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to determine the degree of CNFs and intumescent FR additive dispersion in PA11. Injection molded specimens were fabricated for material properties measurements. Thermal stability of these polymer nanocomposites (PNs) was examined by TGA. Flammability and thermal properties of these PNs were obtained using the cone calorimeter, UL 94 test method, and heat deflection temperature.

Bacterial endospores (spores) are among the most resistant living forms on earth. Spores of Bacillus subtilis A163 show extremely high resistance to wet heat compared to spores of laboratory strains. In this study, we found that spores of B. subtilis A163 were indeed very wet heat resistant and released dipicolinic acid (DPA) very slowly during heat treatment. We also determined the proteome of vegetative cells and spores of B. subtilis A163 and the differences in these proteomes from those of the laboratory strain PY79, spores of which are much less heat resistant. This proteomic characterization identified 2011 proteins in spores and 1901 proteins in vegetative cells of B. subtilis A163. Surprisingly, spore morphogenic protein SpoVM had no homologs in B. subtilis A163. Comparing protein expression between these two strains uncovered 108 proteins that were differentially present in spores and 93 proteins differentially present in cells. In addition, five of the seven proteins on an operon in strain A163, which is thought to be primarily responsible for this strain’s spores high heat resistance, were also identified. These findings reveal proteomic differences of the two strains exhibiting different resistance to heat and form a basis for further mechanistic analysis of the high heat resistance of B. subtilis A163 spores.

ABSTRACT The endospores formed by strains of type A Clostridium perfringens that produce the C. perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) are known to be more resistant to heat and cold than strains that do not produce this toxin. The high heat resistance of these spores allows them to survive the cooking process, leading to a large number of food-poisoning cases each year. The relative importance of factors contributing to the establishment of heat resistance in this species is currently unknown. The present study examines the spores formed by both CPE+ and CPE− strains for factors known to affect heat resistance in other species. We have found that the concentrations of DPA and metal ions, the size of the spore core, and the protoplast-to-sporoplast ratio are determining factors affecting heat resistance in these strains. While the overall thickness of the spore peptidoglycan was found to be consistent in all strains, the relative amounts of cortex and germ cell wall peptidoglycan also appear to play a role in the heat resistance of these strains.
