Abstract The vulcanization behavior and vulcanizate properties of tetrafluoroethylene-propylene elastomer containing a small amount of glycidyl vinyl ether as cure site was investigated both at room temperature and at high temperature with different types of the vulcanizing agents. The conclusions are: 1. Glycidyl vinyl ether incorporates into the tetrafluoroethylene-propylene copolymerization system without disturbing the alternating microstructure and works as an efficient cure site. 2. The room-temperature vulcanization of the terpolymer proceeds at an adequate rate when tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol is used as the curative together with phenol as the accelerating agent. 3. Coatings of the terpolymer make a tough finish on many substrates such as steel and hydrocarbon rubbers and protect the substrates from hostile environments. 4. The vulcanization behavior of the terpolymer at high temperature is much influenced by the kind of curative. The carboxylate of hexamethylenediamine [e.g., hexamethylenediamine-N,N′-bis(p-isopropylbenzoate)] provides balanced vulcanization behavior and mechanical properties suitable for molding articles of complex shapes. 5. The mechanical and chemical properties of the high-temperature vulcanizate thus obtained are similar to those of the tetrafluoroethylene-propylene binary system vulcanized by peroxide.

Fixation of rat hypothalamus in 4% formaldehyde + 1% CaCl2 for 24 hr at 0°C reduced the amount of extractable ethanolamine phospholipids considerably. This decrease may be caused by hydrolytic cleavage of the vinyl ether bond in phosphatidalethanolamine and by reaction of formaldehyde with the free amino groups in ethanolamine phospholipids. Evidence is presented that the reaction with free amino groups may be the main cause for the decrease of extractable phospholipids when dealing with a fixative that contains glutaraldehyde and is buffered at pH 7. In this case no phosphatidylserine and hardly any phosphatidylethanolamine could be detected in the tissue extract. It is presumed that these phospholipids are fixed to proteins by the cross-linking action of glutaraldehyde involving free amino groups of proteins and phospholipids.

Calcium ions in the concentration range 5-100 mM inhibit auxin-induced cell elongation and wall extensibility of plant stems. Inhibition of wall extensibility requires that the tissue be living; growth inhibition cannot be explained on the basis of cross-linking of carboxyl groups of cell wall uronides by calcium ions. In this study, ultrastructural evidence was sought for an interaction of calcium ions with some component other than the wall at the cell surface of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) hypocotyls.

Those samples which swell rapidly when exposed to water are, at best, difficult to section for transmission electron microscopy. Some materials literally burst out of the embedding block with the first pass by the knife, and even the most rapid cutting cycle produces sections of limited value. Many ion exchange resins swell in water; some undergo irreversible structural changes when dried. We developed our embedding procedure to handle this type of sample, but it should be applicable to many materials that present similar sectioning difficulties.The purpose of our embedding procedure is to build up a cross-linking network throughout the sample, while it is in a water swollen state. Our procedure was suggested to us by the work of Rosenberg, where he mentioned the formation of a tridimensional structure by the polymerization of the GMA biproduct, triglycol dimethacrylate.

With information processing devices such as radio telescopes, microscopes or hi-fi systems, the quality of the output often is limited by distortion or noise introduced at the input stage of the device. This analogy can be extended usefully to specimen preparation for the electron microscope; fixation, which initiates the processing sequence, is the single most important step and, unfortunately, is the least well understood. Although there is an abundance of fixation mixtures recommended in the light microscopy literature, osmium tetroxide and glutaraldehyde are favored for electron microscopy. These fixatives react vigorously with proteins at the molecular level. There is clear evidence for the cross-linking of proteins both by osmium tetroxide and glutaraldehyde and cross-linking may be a necessary if not sufficient condition to define fixatives as a class.
