Crystalline Phase Transition

Phospholipid bilayers containing branched chain molecules, phytol (1), vitamin E (2), and phytanic acid (3), have been investigated by 31P nmr, esr, and differential scanning calorimetry (dsc).A 31P lanthanide induced shift study indicated varying permeabilities to Pr3+ in the order phytanic acid > vitamin E > phytol > egg yolk lecithin alone; the half-lives (in days) were 0.002, 0.14, 0.83, and 6.5, respectively. The activation energy for Pr3+ permeation through the egg yolk lecithin–phytol membrane was found to be 84.9 ± 0.8 kJ.The following esr order parameters, S3, were obtained using the extrinsic spin label, 5-doxylpalmitic acid, in oriented mixed multibilayers: S3 (1) = 0.29, S3 (2) = 0.50, and S3 (3) = 0.02.Differential scanning calorimetry revealed a lowering of the gel–liquid crystalline phase transition temperature, Tc, as the concentration of incorporated isoprenoid compound increases, with eventual disappearance of the endotherm. Specific entropy, s, calculated for dipalmitoyl lecithin +25 mol% 3 is 126 J kg−1 K−1 compared to s = 114.2 J kg−1 K−1 for 1and s = 85 J kg−1 K−1 for 2.

The configurational partition function for random mixtures containing any numbers of components which can consist of simple, simple chain, branched chain, or closed ring molecules is examined. Using a general statistical method a set of partial differential equations is obtained for the appropriate combinatory factor. The integrability of this set of equations is examined. This provides a criterion by which it can be decided in what cases a mathematically precise value for the combinatory factor can be obtained rigorously by solving the set of partial differential equations. In these cases general formulae are given for the combinatory factor. It is shown that precise formulae can be deduced rigorously (a) for all binary mixtures whether the components consist of simple, simple chain, branched chain, or closed ring molecules ; (b) mixtures of any number of components containing not more than one high polymer species, which can consist of closed ring equally well as of simple chain or branched chain molecules ; and (c) mixtures of any number of components containing more than one high polymer species provided these consist only of simple chain or branched chain molecules. It is also shown that even in the case in which the condition of integrability is not satisfied, an approximation, which involves negligible error for high polymer molecules, indicates that the general formula must still provide a good approximation practically. The approximations inherent in the physical model are also considered.

Two-phase in situ condensation polymers formed from amine and aldehyde monomers were tested on three differing soil textures for aggregating effectiveness and were compared to polyvinyl alcohol treated soils. The amine and aldehyde monomers differed in functionality (number of amines or carbonyl groups participating in the cross-linking polymerization reaction), molecular structure (branched versus straight chains and the number of polar structural groups) and molecular weight. Straight-chained molecules were more effective in aggregating soil than branched-chain molecules if a certain critical molecular weight was exceeded. The branched-chained and lower molecular weight molecules were less plastic. The number of polar monomer structural groups, notably ether, alcohol and amide oxygen, capable of bonding to clay particles determined aggregation effectiveness. PVA was effective at 0.1% concentration; two-phase polymers with long straight chains were effective at 5.0% by weight.
