Abstract The investigation presented here, including detection of nitrogen, the viscometric investigation, melting point determinations, the ultraviolet and infrared spectra, allow of the qualitative statement that macroradicals are formed in the mechanochemical breakdown of polystyrene by vibromilling. The slight differences between N2 and NO milling may be ascribed in part to a more rapid deactivation of the radicals. On the foundation of the existing knowledge of mechanochemistry there result interesting prospects for science and technology, e.g., the use of macro-radicals as polymerization initiators and as active types of block copolymers and graft polymers by reactions both with monomers and with macroradicals of other polymer materials.

Abstract The properties of elastomeric tetramethylene terephthalate/polyether terephthalate copolymers have been related to the chemical structure, chain length, and concentration in the copolymers of the PTMEG-, PEG-, and PPG-derived polyether units. Low-temperature properties and tear strength are dependent on all three polyether-related variables. Melting point, hardness, and stress at 100% elongation appear to be independent of polyether structure. Polyether glycols of low MW volatilize during copolymer preparation. High-MW polyethers tend to crystallize when present in the copolymers. Polyether glycols of intermediate MW (∼ 1000) yield copolymers with the best resistance to low-temperature stiffening. Copolymer synthesis is most difficult with PPG as the polyether glycol. Inherent viscosities are low, and phase separation occurs at lower polyether MW than with PTMEG or PEG. The PEG-based copolymers exhibit high water swell, particularly at intermediate and high PEG MW. The PTMEG-based copolymers are easiest to synthesize and exhibit the best overall combination of properties.

The control of surface bioadhesive properties of the subcutaneous implants is essential for the development of biosensors and controlled drug release devices. Poly(alkyl ethylene phosphate)-based (co)polymers are structurally versatile, biocompatible and biodegradable, and may be regarded as an alternative to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) copolymers in the creation of antiadhesive materials. The present work reports the synthesis of block copolymers of ε-caprolactone (εCL) and 2-ethoxy-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane-2-oxide (ethyl ethylene phosphate, EtOEP) with different content of EtOEP fragments, preparation of polymer films, and the results of the study of the impact of EtOEP/εCL ratio on the hydrophilicity (contact angle of wetting), hydrolytic stability, cytotoxicity, protein and cell adhesion, and cell proliferation using umbilical cord multipotent stem cells. It was found that the increase of EtOEP/εCL ratio results in increase of hydrophilicity of the polymer films with lowering of the protein and cell adhesion. MTT cytotoxicity test showed no significant deviations in toxicity of poly(εCL) and poly(εCL)-b-poly(EtOEP)-based films. The influence of the length of poly(EtOEP)chain in block-copolymers on fibrotic reactions was analyzed using subcutaneous implantation experiments (Wistar line rats), the increase of the width of the fibrous capsule correlated with higher EtOEP/εCL ratio. However, the copolymer-based film with highest content of polyphosphate had been subjected to faster degradation with a formation of developed contact surface of poly(εCL). The rate of the degradation of polyphosphate in vivo was significantly higher than the rate of the degradation of polyphosphate in vitro, which only confirms an objective value of in vivo experiments in the development of polymer materials for biomedical applications.

With the development of human society, the requirements for building materials are becoming higher. The development of polymer materials and their application in the field of architecture have greatly enhanced and broadened the functions of building materials. With the development of material science and technology, many functional materials have been developed. Polymer materials have many excellent properties compared with inorganic materials, and they can also be improved to enhance functional properties by blending or adding various additives (such as flame retardants, antistatic agents, and antioxidants). In this paper, polymer-based building materials are introduced with three classes according to the applications, that is, substrates, coatings, and binders, and their recent signs of progress in the preparations and applications are carefully demonstrated.

Raman and infrared spectra of polycrystalline HI and DI in the region of lattice and internal modes for all three phases have been recorded over the temperature range 18 K to the melting point. The temperature dependent Raman and infrared results are consistent with the X-ray and neutron work that two phase transitions occur at HI and DI involving reorientation of the HI and DI molecules as a whole.
