A new kind of lower-branched liquid crystalline polyester (LLCP) containing polyester mesogenic units was synthesized by p-hydroxybenzoic acid, terephthalyl chloride and trimellitic anhydride (TMA), then was used as collaborative modifier for the epoxy resin (E-51) with γ-azyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS). The experimental results showed that the LLCP / POSS could act as an effective toughening modifier for the epoxy resin. The impact strength of the composites modified with LLCP and POSS was 1.1 times higher than that of the unmodified system. The temperature of starting decomposition and maximum decomposition rate improved about 20 oC and 13 oC , respectively.

The results of tracer experiments performed with anthers of Tulipa cv. Apeldoorn have already shown that a high level of incorporation into the sporopollenin fraction was achieved, when [14C]phenylalanine was applicated as a precursor. In order to investigate whether the substantial incorporation of [14C]phenylalanine is a unique phenomenon restricted to Tulipa, tracer experiments were carried out on anthers of Cucurbita maxima. The sporopollenin fraction was isolated and purified by a gentle method including extractions with various solvents, incubations with hydrolysing enzymes and fractionated saponifications. The remaining, as well as the released radioactivity, was determined after each purification step. After the application of [U-14C]phenylalanine, a substantial incorporation into the sporopollenin fraction was determined. The values were clearly higher than those obtained with [1-14C]glucose or those from corresponding experiments on Tulipa anthers. After potash fusion of sporopollenin fractions labeled via [U-14C]phenylalanine, p-hydroxybenzoic acid was shown to be the main com ponent among the ether soluble acids; moreover it showed the highest level of radioactivity. No radioactivity was detected in the degradation products oxalic acid, benzoic acid, phthalic acid and terephthalic acid or octanedioic acid- and decanedioic acid-dimethylester.
