Polymer Colloids

We have, generally, some basis from previous work so that we can follow a line of research and thus provide even our most fundamental studies with an air of scientific respectability. Today, however, we are luckier. Present-day research is rather like the working of a giant crossword puzzle where some of the letters or even words have been com­ pleted and the approach toward a relatively confident solution is a matter of juggling a series of permutations.

I often wonder, though, how it was for the early brain researchers, who had very few letters, and, even less, no words, completed in their research puzzles to augment intelligent casual observation.We have, generally, some basis from previous work so that we can follow a line of research and thus provide even our most fundamental studies with an air of scientific respectability.

Ion-exchange chromatography, for example, is particularly associated with the separation of the rare earths, and exclusion chromatography with the fractionation of naturally occurring materials like proteins and of syn­ thetic polymers. Partition chromatography, especially in the form of paper chromatography, has been an indispensable tool in the study of biochemical systems, while its more recent adsorption counterpart, thin-layer chromatog­ raphy, developed most rapidly within the pharmacognosic and pharma­ ceutical fields.Liquid chromatography has for years fulfilled an effective role in various fields..

Physical and spectroscopic methods have been used jointly for characterization of polymers for at least four decades. Still more recently fluorescence spectroscopy and laser Raman spectroscopy have become readily appli­ cable to polymers and are contributing significantly to the understanding of the relationship between polymer structure and properties. Nuclear magnetic resonance, electron spin resonance and MOssbauer spectroscopy started making sig­ nificant contributions to polymer chemistry in the early sixties.

. Although the many social, psychologic and economic causal mechanisms contributing to aggression have been reasonably well-understood for a number of years, the correlated physiological, biochemical, endocrinological and neurochemical changes taking place in an organism that is either the aggressor or the recipient of aggression have not been studied extensively, and the limited available data in the past have often been in con­ siderable conflict. We cannot make sweeping generalizations to the human organism from the results of non-human animal experimentation. The general indications are that while the aggressor learns to survive and adapts readily to the fighting process, the vanquished, if he does not die, maintains an existence highlighted by severe and extensive changes in all physiologic and psycho­ logic systems.

The contents focus on experimental and analytical aspects of contemporary op­ tical methods as applied in modern research on high speed and/or high temperature gaseous flows.Refractivity index measurements have long been extensively used for investigating gas dynamic and aerodynamic flows.

Still more recently fluorescence spectroscopy and laser Raman spectroscopy have become readily appli­ cable to polymers and are contributing significantly to the understanding of the relationship between polymer structure and properties. Physical and spectroscopic methods have been used jointly for characterization of polymers for at least four decades.Determination of the distribution of monomer se­ quences by molecular size has become possible through combined gel permeation chromatography and spectroscopic analysis. The relationship between the chemistry of polymers and performance can be determined from changes in chemical structure and orientation after curing, degradation, or physical or thermal manipulation of the polymers.

More recent laser developments have resulted in several com­ pletely new optical diagnostic methods.

During about the same period we have advanced experimentally from poorly defined "glue-like" systems to monodisperse colloids, synthesized for the first time in 1955 when J.

The Hamiltonian formulation of this model by Weiss, Mock, and Moon herein is a significant development in our theoretical pro­ gress. The revolution is snowballing. W.

Since studies of the enzymatic process, in vitro, indicate that, in general, biological catalysis can proceed only over limited ranges of temperature, pH, substrate concentration, etc. Survival in the face of environmental stress would seem to depend upon the ability of the organism to respond by appropriate biochemical modulations so as to maintain homeostasis.

Biochemical Responses to Environmental Stress. Since studies of the enzymatic process, in vitro, indicate that, in general, biological catalysis can proceed only over limited ranges of temperature, pH, substrate concentration, etc." He further proposed that "if a state remains steady, it does so because any tendency towards change is automatically met by increased effectiveness of the factor or factors which resist the change.

Moreover, all of us are living proofs of their potential efficiency.This is partially due to the fact that basic concepts on which membrane processes are based are so deceptively simple. There is at present considerable enthusiasm in membrane research, and the expectations are running high.

Many types of interac­ tions are possible in block and graft copolymers in the solid state. In solutions of block and graft copolymers, the sit­ uation becomes even more complex, because interactions between the solvent molecules and the various subchains of the copolymer mole­ cules occur in addition to the interactions between the polymer chains. Colloidal and Morphological Behavior of Block and Graft Copolymers Polymer subchains of one molecule can interact with other polymer subchains which may belong to the same molecule or to different molecules.

With some applications a commercial reality and many more continually appearing, it is now possible to compile a volume devoted to the applications of holography.

The Symposium on Membrane Processes in Industry and Biomedicine has been held under the sponsorship of the Division of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry at the 160th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, Chicago, Illinois, September 16 and 17, 1970.

In solutions of block and graft copolymers, the sit­ uation becomes even more complex, because interactions between the solvent molecules and the various subchains of the copolymer mole­ cules occur in addition to the interactions between the polymer chains. This structural com­ plexity is manifested in the unusual behavior of block and graft copolymers both in solution and in bulk.
