Effect of molecular weight on two smectic polyesters

The liquid crystalline transitions of two kinds of smectic polyesters with different molecular weights were investigated by DSC, polarized microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The molecular weight affects the transitions significantly for these two kinds of polyesters. With a high enough molecular weight, both poly (pentamethylenep,p-bibenzoate) and poly(hexamethylenep,p-bibenzoate) exhibit an enantiotropic smectic phase, but the two endothermic transition peaks of the DSC heating curve seem to overlap. The polyesters tend to exhibit a monotropic smectic phase as the molecular weight decreases. From the DSC cooling curve, the isotropic-smectic transition can be seen more clearly. As the molecular weight decreases, the smectic order decrease significantly. The molecular weight affects the transitions in a different way for these two different kinds of polyesters.     

SEPARATION AND ENRICHMENT OF WEAK ORGANIC ACIDS OR BASES BY IMMOBILIZED LIQUID MEMBRANES

A new and effective liquid membrane process to achieve both separation and enrichment simultaneously of weak organic acids or bases was developed. The process utilizes effectively the difference in the apparent partition coefficient of the constituent species between the aqueous and organic phases, and uses the change of the apparent partition coefficients with the hydrogen ion concentration of the aqueous phase. For such a fundamental model apparatus as a diaphragm diffusion cell being operated batch wise, the effects of pK value of solutes, permeability of solutes through the membrane, volume ratio of liquids in two aqueous phases, and pH value of aqueous phase on enrichment factor and selectivity for the solute to be concentrated were discussed analytically. Separation and enrichment were demonstrated using aqueous mixed solutions of fumaric acid and L-malic acid. The results were in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

Side-chain functionalized liquid crystalline polymers and blends, 10: phase behavior and structure of side-chain liquid crystalline ionomers containing ions of d-metals

Novel side-chain liquid crystalline (LC) ionomers containing d-metals Co(II) and Ni(II) were synthesized and characterized. Both families of the ionomers are characterized by the same influence of charged group content in polymer on their phase behavior. The incorporation of 2-3 mol% of metal ions in the nematic polymer matrix leads to the induction of SmA phase and rise in the clearing point. The peculiarity of their phase behavior in comparison with the earlier investigated LC ionomers with alkaline or alkali-earth metals is the full destruction of the mesophase at the concentration of d-metal higher than 12 mol%. This phenomenon was associated with the well-known ability of the transition metal ions to form various complexes that, in the case of LC ionomers, can negatively influence the ordering of the side mesogenic groups. The proposed structure of the LC ionomers is discussed in comparison with the metallomesogenic polymer systems.

Theory of chromatography of complex cyclic polymers: eight-shaped and daisy-like macromolecules

A theory of chromatography of eight-shaped, trefoil-shaped and daisy-like polymers is developed. For a model of an ideal chain in a slit-like pore exact equations and a number of approximate formulae for the distribution coefficient K of these polymers are derived. All modes of chromatography of complex macrocycles of arbitrary molar mass in both narrow and wide pores are covered by the theory. It is shown that complex macrocycles always elute after linear polymers and rings of the same contour length. The effective chromatographic radius of eight-shaped and daisy-like macromolecules, which determines retention in size-exclusion chromatography are calculated. The increase in the retention with molar mass is predicted for all types of macrocycles at the critical interaction condition. Non-monotonous molar mass dependences of K are found at pre-critical interaction. We simulate separation of complex cyclic polymers from linear and ring precursors, discuss possibilities to separate symmetric and asymmetric eights, and speculates on the use of chromatography for separating knotted and unknotted polymer rings. According to the theory, the chromatography under the critical and pre-critical interaction conditions is expected to be especially efficient in these and similar problems. Boundary conditions for the theory and its applicability to real systems are discussed.

Mobile phase composition for resolving whey proteins in reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography

Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography was successfully developed for the simultaneous and rapid separation for the main whey proteins, α-Lactalbumin and β-Lactoglobulin. This method consisted of a linear gradient of the two mobile phases of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in water and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid in acetonitrile. The total run time for this separation was approximately 30 min, and α-Lactalbumin was eluted followed byβ- Lactoglobulin. The injection volume was fixed at 20 μl and the flow rate was 1 ml 1/min. The optimum mobile phase composition and gradient conditions to separate α-Lactalbumin and β-Lactoglobulin (A+B) were experimentally obtained at the 15 μm particle with a pore size of 300 Å on the linear-gradient mode.

Effects of the boundary layer and interfacial reaction on the time lag in supported liquid membranes

A mathematical model is proposed to describe the effects of boundary layer resistance and interfacial reaction on the time lag in supported liquid membranes for metal ion separation. The model shows that the presence of boundary layer resistance and interfacial reaction delays the time-lag, compared with the limiting case that rapid equilibrium at the interfaces and negligible boundary layer resistance are assumed. Calculated result describes the expected trend and the model equation allows one to predict the lumped parameters which represent the ratios of the diffusion time in the membrane to the characteristic time for boundary layer transfer and interfacial reactions.
