The paper presents comparative studies of the thermomechanical properties of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and its composite containing 0.5% coke-graphite powder (CGP). It was found that explosive pressing with a pressure of 0.25-0.6 GPa provides high heat resistance of UHMWPE and the investigated composite (154-156 ° C). The heat resistance of the composite decreases to 143-145 ° C, but it is higher than that of a similar material after static pressing (128 ° C).

To develop the technology of explosive pressing of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and its powder composite mixtures with inorganic fillers, the thermomechanical properties of an unfilled polymer and a composite containing 3% coke graphite powder (KGP) after explosive pressing were studied. It was found that explosive pressing with a pressure of 0.25-1.3 gpa provides high heat resistance of UHMWPE and the studied composite (154-156 °C), and the filler restrains the thermal deformation expansion of the polymer, which is associated with increased intermolecular and adhesive interaction at the phase boundary. Thus, the method of explosive pressing can be recommended for industrial processing of UHMWPE and its composite mixture with 3 % KGP.

With the aim of developing a technology for explosive pressing of powder composite mixtures of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with inorganic fillers, the thermomechanical properties and structure of a composite containing 5% β-sialon after static and explosive pressing were investigated. It was found that explosive pressing with a pressure of 0.75 GPa provides a composite heat resistance close to that of the initial UHMWPE (142-148 °C), reducing its thermal deformation expansion, which is associated with an increase in intermolecular as well as adhesive interaction at the phase boundary. During sintering, the polymer matrix is monolithized, and higher heat resistance is achieved after sintering under pressure. The research results allow us to recommend a method of explosive pressing for industrial processing of a composite mixture of UHMWPE + 5% β-sialon.

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.
