Abstract Sequence distribution of commercially obtained styrene-butadiene copolymers (SBR) was investigated by high-resolution-GPC measurement of ozonolysis products. The ozonolysis-GPC of emulsion SBR samples showed peaks corresponding to 1 to 4 styrene sequences and styrene-1,2-butadiene sequences flanked by 1,4-butadiene units. In random SBR samples with anionic polymerization, long styrene sequences of from 8 to 19% were detected in addition to the short styrene sequences. So-called tapered-block structure was clearly observed in partially block SBR samples; a broad peak derived from block styrene sequences in a relative intensity of 49 to 55% was overlapped by peaks due to styrene sequences longer than 10 styrene units. The content of pure-block styrene sequences in S-B-S type triblock SBR samples was found to be 85 to 99% or above.

The goal is to examine with high resolution cryo-SEM aqueous particulate suspensions used in coatings for printable paper. A metal-coating chamber for cryo-preparation of such suspensions was described previously. Here, a new conduction-cooling system for the stage and cold-trap in an SEM specimen chamber is described. Its advantages and disadvantages are compared to a convection-cooling system made by Hexland (model CT1000A) and its mechanical stability is demonstrated by examining a sample of styrene-butadiene latex.In recent high resolution cryo-SEM, some stages are cooled by conduction, others by convection. In the latter, heat is convected from the specimen stage by cold nitrogen gas from a liquid-nitrogen cooled evaporative heat exchanger. The advantage is the fast cooling: the Hexland CT1000A cools the stage from ambient temperature to 88 K in about 20 min. However it consumes huge amounts of liquid-nitrogen and nitrogen gas: about 1 ℓ/h of liquid-nitrogen and 400 gm/h of nitrogen gas. Its liquid-nitrogen vessel must be re-filled at least every 40 min.

Abstract The 1 H-NMR spectra of styrene oligomers were measured as a model of styrene sequences in SBR. The ortho-phenyl proton, methine proton, and methylene proton signals shift to a higher magnetic field as the degree of polymerization increased. The methine proton signal split into two peaks, reflecting the tacticity. The methylene proton flanked by methylene and methine protons had a higher chemical shift value than the methylene proton flanked by two methine protons. It is demonstrated that the average sequence length of the styrene units in SBR can be determined by the relative intensity ratio of the two methylene proton signals. It is also found that the fraction of styrene sequences longer than 6 units can be estimated from the relative intensity of ortho-phenyl proton signals resonated higher than 6.7 ppm.

It was revealed that by high resolution x-ray measurements that the L γ1 spectra of metallic Nb and Nb-Ni amorphous alloys showed only one broad peak, while those of NbC and NbN had two components. The reason why the amorphous alloys had FWHM’s broader than that in Nb metal was explained by the formation of a mixed band from Nb-4d and Ni-3d electrons. Proton excitation of Nb metal and alloys resulted a smaller L γ1/ L β1 intensity ratio compared to electron or x-ray excitation. Possible interpretation of this difference has been proposed.
