Abstract In summary there are presented some new data on the initiation step for poly-(butadiene) polymerization with the AlEt3-Ni-BF3 catalyst which describe what appears to be a “settling down” period of newborn chains at the π-bonded nickel catalyst site. This leads to a segment of higher trans content at the end of each high cis-1,4-poly(butadiene) chain. Comparisons between nickel and cobalt catalysts seem to point up their differences rather than their similarities. We have described the role of water in effectively changing the identity of the aluminum alkyl which in turn has a marked effect on the polymerization rate, on the polymer molecular weight and the extent of crosslinking.

Abstract The reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) bulk polymerization of styrene was studied using 2-cyanoprop-2-yl dithionaphthalate (CPDN) as RAFT agent in the presence or absence of 2,2’-azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN). The results of both thermally and AIBN-initiated styrene (St) polymerizations show that St can be polymerized in a controlled way using CPDN as RAFT agent; i.e., the polymerization rate is first order with respect to monomer concentration, and molecular weight increases linearly with monomer conversion. The molecular weights obtained from gel permeation chromatography are close to the theoretical values and molecular weight distributions are relatively narrow (Mw/Mn < 1.2). It is confirmed by chain extension reaction that the polymer prepared via RAFT polymerization can be used as a macroRAFT agent. The effects of reaction temperature and mole ratios [St]0/[CPDN]0/[AIBN]0 on the polymerization were investigated. The results indicate that the reaction temperature has a positive effect on the polymerization rate, but little effect on molecular weight and molecular weight distribution, and the optimum mole ratios were found to be [CPDN]0/[AIBN]0 > 4/3 and [St]0/[CPDN]0 < 800.

Radiation polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-vinyl pyrrolidone-water system at low temperature was studied. The polymerization rate-irradiation temperature curve had a maximum peak at near glass transition temperaure, and it was shifted to the site of high temperature with increasing monomer concentration. The polymerization rate in vinyl pyrrolidone at low temperatures was accelerated by the addition of water. The polymers obtained by radiation polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-vinyl pyrrolidone-water system at low temperatures were a high hydrophilicity and had porous structure.

Abstract The bulk polymerization of styrene using 1,1,2,2-tetraphenyl-1,2-ethanediol as initiator in the presence of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) was investigated. The results show that polymerization proceeded in a controlled/ ’living’ way, i.e., polymerization rate is first order with respect to monomer concentration. Molecular weights increase linearly with conversion and molecular weight distributions are relatively low (Mw/Mn = 1.10 - 1.35). Well-defined polystyrenes with α-hydrogen and TEMPO end groups were obtained.

The polymerization rate decreases in the nanoconfined structure compared to the bulk state due to the segregation effect, which increases the local monomer concentration and enhances the termination reaction.

High-temperature acrylate polymerizations are technically relevant, but yet not fully understood. In particular the mechanism and the kinetics of the thermal self-initiation is a topic of current research. To obtain more detailed information the conversion dependence of the polymerization rate, rbr, is determined via in-line DSC and FT-NIR spectroscopy for reactions in bulk and in solution at temperatures ranging from 80 to 160 °C. Solution polymerizations revealed that dioxane is associated with the highest rbr, while aromatic solvents result in the lowest values of rbr. Interestingly, rbr for polymerizations in solution with dioxane depends on the actual monomer concentration at a given time in the system, but is not depending on the initial monomer concentration. The overall rate of polymerization in bulk and in solution is well represented by an equation with three or four parameters, respectively, being estimated by multiple linear regression and the temperature as additional parameter.

After clot formation using bovine thrombin and bovine fibrinogen, one can detect no longer the total amount of thrombin. The amount missing in the supernatant is trapped in the clot and can be removed in active state after lysing the clot. The capacity for trapping thrombin by a constant amount of fibrin depends on the structure of the fibrinpolymer. This can be shown by producing different kinds of clots by variation of pH or monomer concentration during polymerisation or using Arvinmonomer insted of Thrombinmonomer. The trapped thrombin shows no clotting activity but some activity with chromogenic substrats remains. to neutralize trapped thrombin about 5 times more antithrombin III is necessary than for the same amount of free thrombin. The trapped thrombin diffuses out of the clot indicating the reversibility of the binding of thrombin to fribin.
