[source] Room-temperature RAFT copolymerization of 2-chloroallyl azide with methyl acrylate and versatile applications of the azide copolymersJOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 6 2010Guang Li Abstract A new vinyl azide monomer, 2-chlorallyl azide (CAA), has been synthesized from commercially available reagent in one step. The reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization of CAA with methyl acrylate (MA) was carried out at room temperature using a redox initiator, benzoyl peroxide (BPO)/N,N -dimethylaniline (DMA), in the presence of benzyl 1H -imidazole-1-carbodithioate (BICDT). The polymerization results showed that the process bears the characteristics of controlled/living radical polymerizations, such as the molecular weight increasing linearly with the monomer conversion, the molecular weight distribution being narrow, and a linear relationship existing between ln([M]0/[M]) and the polymerization time. Chain extension polymerization was performed successfully to prepare block copolymer. Furthermore, the azide copolymers were functionalized by CuI -catalyzed "click" reaction with alkyne-containing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) to yield graft copolymers with hydrophilic PEG side chains. Surface modification of the glass sheet was successfully achieved via the crosslinking reaction of the azide copolymer under UV irradiation at ambient temperature. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This alternative synthetic strategy involves an oxidation reaction catalysed by commercially available reagents and affords four cyclic and acyclic , -diketones presenting interesting organoleptic properties. The availability of epoxides, easily obtained by ole,n epoxidation, and the possibility of obtaining , -diketones with a variety of structures gives a high potential to this method.

[source] Highly stable electrochromic polyamides based on N,N -bis(4-aminophenyl)- N,,N,-bis(4- tert -butylphenyl)-1,4-phenylenediamineJOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 9 2009Sheng-Huei Hsiao Abstract A new triphenylamine-containing aromatic diamine monomer, N,N -bis(4-aminophenyl)- N,,N,-bis(4- tert -butylphenyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine, was synthesized by an established synthetic procedure from readily available reagents. A novel family of electroactive polyamides with di- tert -butyl-substituted N,N,N,,N,-tetraphenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine units were prepared via the phosphorylation polyamidation reactions of the newly synthesized diamine monomer with various aromatic or aliphatic dicarboxylic acids. All the polymers were amorphous with good solubility in many organic solvents, such as N -methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) and N,N -dimethylacetamide, and could be solution-cast into tough and flexible polymer films. The polyamides derived from aromatic dicarboxylic acids had useful levels of thermal stability, with glass-transition temperatures of 269,296 °C, 10% weight-loss temperatures in excess of 544 °C, and char yields at 800 °C in nitrogen higher than 62%. The dilute solutions of these polyamides in NMP exhibited strong absorption bands centered at 316,342 nm and photoluminescence maxima around 362,465 nm in the violet-blue region. The polyamides derived from aliphatic dicarboxylic acids were optically transparent in the visible region and fluoresced with a higher quantum yield compared with those derived from aromatic dicarboxylic acids. The hole-transporting and electrochromic properties were examined by electrochemical and spectro-electrochemical methods. Cyclic voltammograms of the polyamide films cast onto an indium-tin oxide-coated glass substrate exhibited two reversible oxidation redox couples at 0.57,0.60 V and 0.95,0.98 V versus Ag/AgCl in acetonitrile solution. The polyamide films revealed excellent elcterochemical and electrochromic stability, with a color change from a colorless or pale yellowish neutral form to green and blue oxidized forms at applied potentials ranging from 0.0 to 1.2 V. These anodically coloring polymeric materials showed interesting electrochromic properties, such as high coloration efficiency (CE = 216 cm2/C for the green coloring) and high contrast ratio of optical transmittance change (,T%) up to 64% at 424 nm and 59% at 983 nm for the green coloration, and 90% at 778 nm for the blue coloration. The electroactivity of the polymer remains intact even after cycling 500 times between its neutral and fully oxidized states. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The propargyloxysilanes were prepared from readily available reagents in 53,61% yields. The polymerizations were clean, one-pot hydrosilylation processes catalyzed by Pt/C that were typically complete within 3 h. The polymers contained pendant acetylenic groups that underwent thermally induced crosslinking reactions. Heating the polymers to 1300 °C in flowing nitrogen resulted in weight losses ranging from 33 to 66%. Methyl substitution resulted in lower thermal stability. Further modification of the polymers was demonstrated by the reaction of 1P and 2P with phenylethynyldimethylsilane in the presence of a Pt catalyst. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Pang To assess interlaboratory variability in qualitative and quantitative cytomegalovirus (CMV) viral load (VL) testing, we distributed a panel of samples to 33 laboratories in the USA, Canada and Europe who performed testing using commercial reagents (n = 17) or laboratory-developed assays (n = 18). The panel included two negatives, seven samples constructed from purified CMV nucleocapsids in plasma (2.0,6.0 log10 copies/mL) and three clinical plasma samples. Interlaboratory variation was observed in both actual (range, 2.0,4.0 log10 copies/mL) and self-reported lower limits of detection (range, 1.0,4.0 log10 copies/mL). Variation observed in reported results for individual samples ranged from 2.0 log10 (minimum) to 4.3 log10 (maximum). Variation was greatest at low VLs. Assuming ± 0.5 log10 relative to the expected result represents an acceptable result, 57.6% of results fell within this range. Use of commercially available reagents and procedures was associated with less variability compared with laboratory-developed assays. Interlaboratory variability on replicate samples was significantly greater than intralaboratory variability (p < 0.0001). The significant interlaboratory variability in CMV VL observed may be impacting patient care and limiting interinstitutional comparisons. The creation of an international reference standard for CMV VL assay calibration would be an important step in quality improvement of this laboratory tool.

Preiksaitis To assess interlaboratory variability in qualitative and quantitative Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viral load (VL) testing, we distributed a panel of samples to 28 laboratories in the USA, Canada and Europe who performed testing using commercially available reagents (n = 12) or laboratory-developed assays (n = 18). The panel included two negatives, seven constructed samples using Namalwa and Molt-3 cell lines diluted in plasma (1.30,5.30 log10 copies/mL) and three clinical plasma samples. Significant interlaboratory variation was observed for both actual (range 1.30,4.30 log10 copies/mL) and self-reported (range, 1.70,3.30 log10 copies/mL) lower limits of detection. The variation observed in reported results on individual samples ranged from 2.28 log10 (minimum) to 4.14 log10 (maximum). Variation was independent of dynamic range and use of commercial versus laboratory-developed assays. Overall, only 47.0% of all results fell within acceptable standards of variation: defined as the expected result ± 0.50 log10. Interlaboratory variability on replicate samples was significantly greater than intralaboratory variability (p < 0.0001). Kinetics of change in VL appears more relevant than absolute values and clinicians should understand the uncertainty associated with absolute VL values at their institutions. The creation of an international reference standard for EBV VL assay calibration would be an initial important step in quality improvement of this laboratory tool. [source] | ||||||||||
