A method is described for obtaining the dielectric constant and conductivity of disulphur decafluoride in both liquid and gaseous forms. The freezing point of the liquid and the molecular weight of the vapor are established as criteria of purity. All the measurements lead to the conclusion that disulphur decafluoride is non-polar. Its molar polarizations in the two forms are compared with those of other members of the sulphur fluoride and carbon fluoride homologous series as well as with hexane, benzene, and toluene.

Abstract. The detailed molecular composition of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) from limonene ozonolysis was studied using ultrahigh-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry. High molecular weight (MW) compounds (m/z > 300) were found to constitute a significant number fraction of the identified SOA components. Double bond equivalents (DBE = the number of rings plus the number of double bonds) increased with MW. The O:C ratios and relative abundances of compounds decreased with increasing MW. The mass spectra of limonene contain 4 distinct clusters of negative ions: Group I (140 < m/z < 300), Group II (300 < m/z < 500), Group III (500 < m/z < 700) and Group IV (700 < m/z < 850). A number of CH2 and O homologous series of low MW SOA (Group 1) with carbon number 7–15 and oxygen number 3–9 were observed. Their occurrence can be explained with isomerization and elimination reactions of Criegee radicals, reactions between alkyl peroxy radicals, and scission of alkoxy radicals resulting from the Criegee radicals. Additionally, fragmentation analysis and observations of formaldehyde homologous series provide evidence for aerosol growth by the reactive uptake of generated gas-phase carbonyls in limonene ozonolysis. The decreasing O:C ratios between group of compounds indicated the importance of condensation (aldol and esterification) reaction pathways for high MW compound formation. However, the prominent DBE changes of 2 between the groups of compounds and selected fragmentation (MS/MS) analysis of Group II and Group III ions indicated a predominance of non-condensation (hydroperoxide, Criegee and hemi-acetal) reaction pathways. A reaction matrix created with the combination of low MW SOA, hydroperoxides, and Criegee radicals indicated higher frequencies for the hemi-acetal and condensation reaction pathways. Overall, the combined approach confirms the importance of non-condensation reaction pathways over condensation reaction pathways. Among the non-condensation reaction pathways, hemi-acetal reactions appear to be most dominant followed by hydroperoxide and Criegee reactions.

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.

AbstractThere has been much recent progress on the application of impedance spectroscopy (IS) to the study of microstructure and transport in cement-based materials. The IS spectrum allows for the precise determination of bulk resistance, which is a measure of the pore phase interconnectivity, and calculation of the relative dielectric constant, which is related to the capillary pore size and distribution. High values of the relative dielectric constant (σ105) observed in cement paste at early hydration times are the direct result of the microstructure inducing dielectric amplification. Solvent exchange and freezing experiments, combined with digital-image-based computer modeling, have confirmed the role of large capillary pores in the dielectric amplification in young pastes.The conductivities (σ) and relative dielectric constants (εr) of ordinary portland cement (OPC) pastes were monitored during cooling and solvent exchange with isopropanol and methanol. Dramatic decreases in σ and εr, in some cases over two orders of magnitude, occurred at the initial freezing point of the aqueous phase in the macropores and large capillary pores. The same dramatic decreases in a and er were observed at the onset of solvent exchange. Both effects provide experimental support for the dielectric amplification mechanism within the microstructure on the μm-scale. A secondary dielectric amplification was observed in the frozen and solvent exchanged pastes, which produced dielectric constants on the order of 103. This effect is attributed to amplification on the nm-scale within the layered calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel microstructure. Additional insight into the variable nature of the C-S-H microstructure was obtained by comparing the dielectric behavior of methanol-exchanged OPC pastes to isopropanolexchanged OPC pastes.

In the research, the properties of potassium sodium niobate – barium titanate [(1-x)K0.02Na0.98NbO3–(x)BaTiO3: (1-x)KNN–(x)BT] ceramics prepared by molten salt method with various molecular weight of BT or x are 0 and 0.05 were investigated. The calcined powders of pure K0.02Na0.98NbO3 and (0.95) K0.02Na0.98NbO3-(0.05) BaTiO3 were pressed and sintered at 1250 – 1325 °C and 1225 – 1300 °C for 2h, respectively. It was found that, the samples showed phase structure changing from monoclinic to orthorhombic with small amount BaTiO3 addition. The densification of K0.02Na0.98NbO3 ceramics and dielectric properties were improved with the addition of BaTiO3. The (0.95)K0.02Na0.98NbO3–(0.05)BaTiO3 ceramics sintered at 1250 °C showed maximum density and dielectric constant (∼8035), which was even comparable with that of K0.02Na0.98NbO3 ceramics sintered at 1225 – 1300 °C.

Abstract On the basis of earlier experiments with synthetic materials, compounds of high molecular weight are not composed of a single substance, but consist of a mixture of homologous polymers. The individual members of a polymeric homologous series differ very little in physical and chemical properties, and therefore a mixture of polymeric homologous products such as is obtained in the polymerization of the monomer cannot as a rule be decomposed into simple compounds by means of solvents, but merely into mixtures of products of low and high molecular weight. Such separations have been carried out, for example, in the case of polyvinylace-tates, polystyrols, polyindenes, polyanetholes, and polyethyleneoxides. On the basis of these experiments it was assumed that natural products of high molecular weight likewise consist of a mixture of polymeric homologs. Thus purified rubber, for example, according to our views is not such a completely homogeneous hydrocarbon that all the molecules have the same length, but consists of a mixture of perhaps 100 or more polymeric homologs. Pummerer's decomposition of rubber into sol,- and gel-rubber, according to our experiments, is due to the fact that rubber consists of easily soluble polyprenes and difficultly soluble polyprenes, all belonging to the same polymeric homologous series. Of course there is the possibility that, in forming compounds of high molecular weight, nature produced primary molecules of uniform size, and that the mixture of polymeric homologs was formed only later through decomposition. In that case the natural products would differ in constitution from the synthetic material. They would not be polymerically uniform but completely uniform compounds in the sense of classical organic chemistry. The fact that in life processes methods are possible which we cannot realize in the laboratory is well known. Such a finding would not, of course, contradict our former view that natural products, such as rubber and balata, are of high molecular weight in the sense of classical structural chemistry. Our former work has indicated a similar structure for rubber and gutta-percha. Here it is simply a question whether or not the macromolecules of these natural products have a uniform length. In order to reach a decision, we first of all investigated balata, since it is prepared pure more easily than rubber. It was made from balata latex which was supplied to us through the courtesy of the management of the Norddeutsche Seekabelwerke, Nordenham." The balata thus obtained is a flocculent, cellulose-like mass, which looks like gutta-percha and crystallizes like it.
