The 3′ hydroxyl end of 28S L-rRNA (major RNA species of the larger subribosomal particle) was labelled by coupling its 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid hydrazine with diazotized [3H]aniline. The RNA was hydrolysed partially with ribonuclease T1 and fractionated on Sephadex G-200. The results show that a highly structured segment with 78% G+C content and a number-average molecular weight of at least 1.0×10(5)-1.8×10(5) is located at the 3′ hydroxyl end of the 28S rRNA molecule.

As an extension of work on pendent phenylethynyl-containing imide oligomers, three new diamines containing pendent phenylethynyl groups were prepared and characterized. These diamines were used to prepare pendent and pendent and terminal phenylethynyl imide oligomers via the amide acid route in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at a calculated number average molecular weight of 5000 g mol−1. The pendent phenylethynyl groups were randomly distributed along the oligomer backbone and provided a means of controlling the distance between reactive sites. The imide oligomers were characterized and thermally cured, and the cured polymers evaluated as thin films and compared with materials of similar composition prepared from 3,5-diamino-4′-phenylethynylbenzophenone. This work was performed as part of a continuing research effort to develop structural resins for potential aeronautical applications.

Abstract Alternating poly(ester amide)s 6a - e were prepared by polycondensation of α-carboxyl-ω-hydroxyamides 3a - e which were obtained by aminolysis of glutaric anhydride (1) and α,ω-aminoalcohols, H2N-(CH2)x-OH (x = 2 - 6) 2a - e. The polycondensation was performed in dimethylformamide solution using a carbodiimide as activating agent, or in bulk with Bu2Sn(OMe)2, Ti(OBu)4 and Sn(octoate)2 as a catalyst. For the polycondensation in bulk, the influence of catalyst and of temperature on the number-average molecular weight was studied. 1H NMR analyses of the poly(ester amide)s clearly show the alternating microstructure. The poly(ester amide)s from glutaric anhydride and the homologous series of α,ω-aminoalcohols are semicrystalline materials; their melting points show the odd/even effect observed for other poly(ester amide)s.

Abstract Fractionation of the rubber hydrocarbon in temperate climates has usually resulted in high molecular-weight fractions, with a molecular weight of the order of one million. Bloomfield has shown that fresh latex contains a considerable proportion of hydrocarbon having an intrinsic viscosity (η) of 10 or over and, therefore, a molecular weight of well over 106. The fractionation technique used by Bloomfield in Malaya has now been applied by the writer to smoked sheet and to F rubber, working in the United Kingdom. No very high molecular-weight fractions were found in the smoked sheet, but the F rubber yielded a fraction of (η)=7.3 and a number average molecular weight 6×106, determined osmometrically. The average molecular weight of natural rubber when freshly prepared is probably well over a million, and includes a substantial portion having a molecular weight of several millions. By the time smoked sheet has reached temperate climates, the high molecular-weight portion has probably been converted to gel. F rubber, presumably because of its different method of preparation, retains the major part of its high molecular-weight material during prolonged storage.

High Molecular Weight Poly

AbstractSolid-state polymerization has been widely used to prepare high molecular weight poly(ethylene terephthalate). Solid-state polymerization is generally carried out by heating solid, melt-phase-polymerized polymer below its melting temperature but above its glass transition temperature. Solid-state polymerization of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)(PTT) is not an independent process but rather an additional process with respect to melt polymerization that is used when PTT of a higher molecular weight is required. Two kinds of commercial PTT chips were polymerized in the solid state to prepare high molecular weight PTT, which were characterized by end group contents, molecular weight, thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction. In the solid-state polymerization of PTT, the overall reaction rate was governed by the reaction temperature, reaction time and pellet size. The content of carboxyl end groups was decreased during the solid-state polymerization with increasing reaction time and temperature. The melting temperature and crystallinity of solid-state-polymerized PTT were higher at longer times and higher temperatures of polymerization. The activation energy for the solid-state polymerization of PTT was in the range of 24~25 kcal/mol for each chip. Through the solid-state polymerization of commercial PTT chips, we could get high molecular weight polymers up to an intrinsic viscosity value of 1.63 dl/g, which is equivalent to about a 117,000 weight-average molecular weight.
