On the Configurational Statistics of Ethylene-Propylene Copolymers

Mean-square unperturbed dimensions {r2)0 and their temperature coefficient d In{r2)0/dT have been calculated for ethylene-propylene copolymers by means of the rotational isomeric state theory of chain molecules. Conformational energies required in the analysis are shown to be readily obtained from previous analyses of polyethylene and polypropylene, without additional approximations. Results th...

Configurational Statistics of Magnetic Bead Detection with Magnetoresistive Sensors

Magnetic biosensors detect magnetic beads that, mediated by a target, have bound to a functionalized area. This area is often larger than the area of the sensor. Both the sign and magnitude of the average magnetic field experienced by the sensor from a magnetic bead depends on the location of the bead relative to the sensor. Consequently, the signal from multiple beads also depends on their loc...

Configurational Statistics of Poly ( dimethylsi 1 oxane ) . 2 . A New Rotational Isomeric State Approach

A new rotational isomeric state treatment, compatible with the molecular mechanics and dynamics considerations of the preceding paper, is introduced for describing the conformational statistics of poly(dimethy1siloxane). In view of the smooth distribution of rotamers deduced from molecular dynamics simulations, softer potentials are assigned to bonds in gauche states compared to the model of Fl...

Configurational Relationships of Methylethyl

The configurational relationship of dextro-methylethyl carbinol to dextro-lactic acid has been established.’ The establishment of the relationship of the higher members of the homologous series of alcohols to the same reference substance will permit the correlation of the configurations of the alcohols among themselves. The present paper contains a report on the results of the efforts in this d...
