Free radical polymerization kinetics of diallyl terephthalate (DAT) in solution was investigated with two different peroxide initiators: dicyclohexyl peroxydicarbonate (CHPC) and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) in temperature range from 50°C to 110°C, where ortho-xylene was used as a solvent. Conversion points were measured using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) measurements. Previously developed kinetic model for bulk DAT polymerization, was extended to solution DAT polymerization. The ratio of solvent chain - transfer rate constants to propagation rate constants of the polymerization system were found between 1.25 10-4 to 1.68 10-4 for various reaction conditions. They were obtained using the calculated initial polymerization rates and the number average molecular weight measurements made by GPC. The effect of different solvent fractions and initiator concentrations on the diffusion limitations were investigated. Only two kinetic parameters, kpd0 and ktd0 were obtained by fitting the kinetic model onto measured conversions for various reaction conditions at 0.2, 0.5 and 0.8 solvent fractions. Thus obtained kpd0 and ktd0 kinetic parameters were extrapolated to zero solvent fractions and from obtained values of kinetic parameters the conversion points for bulk DAT polymerization were calculated and compared to measured conversion points.

Abstract. A miniaturized infrared (IR) multi-channel sensor system was realized to determine chemical oil degradation, e.g., oxidation, increasing water content. Different artificially aged oil samples (synthetic motor oil, mineral hydraulic oil and ester-based hydraulic fluid) were prepared by oxidative degradation at elevated temperatures or addition of water, and characteristic degradation features in the IR spectrum were detected using FTIR spectroscopy. In addition, the absorption behavior of water contaminated synthetic motor oil was analyzed with increasing temperature. To determine the influence of different degradation effects on the measurement results the sensor system was characterized with the various oil samples. The system uses a reference channel to suppress the effect of decreasing transmission over the entire spectrum caused, e.g., by increasing soot content in the oil or contamination of the optical path.

ABSTRACT A brief review of the characteristics of steroid binding proteins found in the plasma and in some target organs is presented, followed by some general remarks on binding »specificity« and binding parameters. Useful techniques for measuring binding parameters at equilibrium are reported, both those which keep the equilibrium intact and those which implicate its disruption. A concept is developed according to which the determination of a specific steroid binding protein is based on the »differential dissociation« of the several steroid binding complexes present in most biological mixtures. Methods which allow determination of the kinetic parameters of the binding systems are also presented. Various representations of the binding and therefore different modes of graphic representation and calculation are discussed, including the recent »proportion graph« method.
