Liquid ethylene-propylene copolymers
Oligomers are prepared by heating solid ethylene-propylene rubber in container that retains solid and permits liquid product to flow out as it is formed. Molecular weight and viscosity of liquids can be predetermined by process temperature. Copolymers have low viscosity for given molecular weight.

Direct observation of the excited-state proton transfer and decay kinetics of internally hydrogen-bonded photostabilizers in copolymer films
The excited-state dynamics of a 2-hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole (HPB) photostabilizer copolymerized with polystyrene are reported. HPB fluorescence from these copolymer films is observed at approximately 630 nm, characteristic of the proton-transferred excited state of HPB, and it has a risetime of less than 10 ps and a decay time of 28 + or - 4 ps at room temperature. Measurement of the relative fluorescence quantum yield as a function of temperature gives the activation energy for nonradiative decay of this state to be E/hc = 259 + or 25/cm.

Electronic energy transfer and quenching in copolymers of styrene and 2-(2-prime-hydroxy -5-prime-vinylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole Photochemical processes in polymeric systems. X
Intensity and lifetime quenching of the polystyrene monomer and excimer fluorescence emission by a pendant quencher have been studied in the solid state and in solution for a series of copolymers of styrene and 2-(2-prime-hydroxy-5-prime-vinylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole. Two mechanisms of quenching have been identified. One involves interception of the migrating monomer excitation by the quencher, and the other involves a single-step Foerster energy-transfer process from the excimer traps to a quencher. The relative efficiencies of these two quenching mechanisms in the solid state and in solution have been compared and related to the efficiency of electronic energy migration. An estimate of the excimer trap concentration in solid polystyrene is also reported.

Structure property behavior of polyimide siloxane segmented copolymers
Procedures were developed for preparing soluble fully imidized polyimide-polydimethyl siloxane segmented copolymers of wide ranging compositions. At low siloxane levels, the materails behave as modified polyimides. At higher concentrations, the materials are analogous to thermoplastic elastomers. Characterization by dynamic mechanical and thermal analysis methods will be reported along with an assesment of the bulk mechanical properties and the surface behavior. The surface behavior is particularly interesting since the materials can be tailored to have siloxane surfaces even at rather low siloxane contents. This influences a number of properties such as the coefficient of friction and, importanly, the degradation of these materials under aggressive oxygen environments (e.g., atomic oxygen, oxygen plasma).

Synthesis and solution imidization studies of soluble poly(imide siloxane) segmented copolymers
Soluble metalinked poly(imide siloxane) segmented copolymers were synthesized utilizing a THF/NMP cosolvent system. The presence of dual solvent makes it possibled to reach high molecular weight in the amid acid stage. Incorporation of siloxanes at about 10 weight percent or higher enables the materials to be fully soluble in a range of polar solvents even after imidization. Imidization may be achieved either by conventional thermal methods on cast amic acid films or in appropriate solvent/azeotroping-agent systems employing moderate temperatures. The imidization procedure has been followed by FT-IR and NMR studies. FT-IR studies show the solution imidization follows first order kinetics and proceeds to about 96 percent completion. NMR studies of the isolated products show residual amic acid may be present after solution imidization, but only at very low levels. Properties of the solution imidized materials compared well with those obtained from samples imidized as thin films.

Poly(imide-siloxane) segmented copolymer structural adhesives prepared by bulk and solution thermal imidization
The improved properties that have been demonstrated through thermal solution imidization in the case of polyimides and poly(imide-siloxane) segmented copolymers suggests significant potential for application of these new materials. Specifically, the enhancement in solubility, moisture reduction, and processability observed through this solution technique is quite dramatic. Previous work has shown that the presence of low amounts of siloxane does not detract significantly from the lap shear strength of these materials to titanium in the case of bulk thermal imidization synthesis. In addition, the siloxane incorporation results in the added advantage of resistance to hot, wet environments. This added durability is presumably due to the hydrophobic siloxane segments preventing the uptake of water at the critical interphase between the adhesive and the adherend. This paper discusses the extension of this work to the solution imidization synthesis technique recently developed in our laboratory. Results dealing with the absolute bond strengths as well as durability and failure surface analysis will be presented.

Model of early self-replication based on covalent complementarity for a copolymer of glycerate-3-phosphate and glycerol-3-phosphate
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate acts as the substrate in a model of early self-replication of a phosphodiester copolymer of glycerate-3-phosphate and glycerol-3-phosphate. This model of self-replication is based on covalent complementarity in which information transfer is mediated by a single covalent bond, in contrast to multiple weak interactions that establish complementarity in nucleic acid replication. This replication model is connected to contemporary biochemistry through its use of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, a central metabolite of glycolysis and photosynthesis.

Composites of vinyl polystyrylpyridine/bismaleimide-aliphatic ether copolymers
An aliphatic ether bismaleimide was prepared and coreacted with a polyvinylstyrylpyridine (VPSP) oligomer. Studies showed that a controlled ratio of aliphatic to aromatic units in the polymer backbone improved both processibility and interlaminar shear properties for the carbon-fiber composite system. This modified resin was readily soluble in tetrahydrofuran, allowing for better fiber impregnation and thus enhancing adhesive properties and reproducibility. DSC studies have shown a lower cure temperature for the copolymer than for the neat aliphatic bismaleimide, and a glass transition temperature of 260 C, which is more than adequate for most applications. Limited measurements indicated an improvement in toughness (impact resistance).
