The solid complex of guest styrene included inside the channels of host gamma-cyclodextrin (styrene/gamma-CDchannnel-IC) was formed in order to perform polymerization of styrene in a confined environment (gamma-CD channels). The experimental molar ratio of styrene to gamma-CD in styrene/gamma-CDchannel-IC was found to be 2:1, which is consistent with molecular modeling studies, utilizing Quantum Mechanics PM3 parameters that indicate the gamma-CD/two styrene molecular complex is the most energetically favorable. Consistent with modeling of the gamma-CD/two styrene molecular complex, no experimental indication of intermolecular pi-pi interactions between the pairs of included styrene molecules inside the gamma-CD channels was observed. Once included in the host T-CD cavities, the thermal stability of normally volatile bulk styrene to elevated temperatures (much above its boiling point) was observed until the gamma-CD host molecules themselves began to degrade at similar to 300 degrees C. In addition, the thermal degradation of host gamma-CD from the styrene/gamma-CDchannel-IC was observed to be different from that of pure gamma-CD due to codegradation of styrene and gamma-CD.

Direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry (DIP-MS) analyses of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) and binary PMMA/PVAc guests, coalesced from their inclusion compounds (ICs) formed with host gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) through removal of the gamma-CD host, have been performed. A slight increase in the thermal stabilities of the coalesced polymers were recorded both by TGA and DIP-MS compared to the corresponding as-received polymers. The DIP-MS observations pointed out t...
Thermal degradation of polycarbonate, poly(vinyl acetate) and their blends
Uyar, Tamer; Tonelli, Alan E.; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2006-12-01)
We have recently developed a novel approach for intimately mixing thermodynamically incompatible polymers, which utilizes the formation of inclusion compounds (ICs) formed with host cyclodextrins (CDs), followed by removal of CD and coalescence of the common guest polymers into a blend. In this paper direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry (DIP-MS) analyses of polycarbonate (PC), poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) and PC/PVAc blends, obtained by coalescence from their inclusion compounds formed with host...

Direct insertion probe pyrolysis mass spectrometry (DIP-MS) analyses of a PC/PMMA blend, coalesced from their common inclusion compound (ICs) formed with host gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) through removal of the gamma-CD host, and a physical PC/PMMA blend, precipitated from their common solution, have been performed and compared with those of the coalesced and as-received homopolymers. A slight increase in the thermal stability of the PMMA component in the presence of PC was recorded both by TGA and DIP-MS ...
Reorganization and improvement of bulk polymers by processing with their cyclodextrin inclusion compounds
Uyar, Tamer; Rusa, Cristian C.; Hunt, Marcus A.; Aslan, Evren; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Tonelli, Alan E. (2005-06-17)
The formation of polymer-cyclodextrin inclusion compounds of polycarbonate (PC), poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(vinylacetate) (PVAc) guests with host gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) have been successfully achieved. Coalesced bulk polymer samples were obtained by removal of gamma-CD from their inclusion compounds (ICs). The chemical and crystalline structures of ICs and coalesced PC, PMMA and PVAc were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). ...
The effect of valine substitution for glycine in the dimer interface of citrate synthase from Thermoplasma acidophilum on stability and activity
Kocabıyık, Semra (Elsevier BV, 2000-08-28)
To determine the role of hydrophobic interactions in the dimer interface of citrate synthase (CS) from Thermoplasma (Tp) acidophilum in thermostabilization, we have used site-directed mutagenesis to replace Gly 196 by Val on the helix L of the subunit interface. Recombinant wild-type and Gly 196 mutant TpCS enzymes were largely identical in terms of substrate specificities (K-m for oxaloacetate and acetyl CoA). However, the mutation not only reduced catalytic activity (about 10-fold) (i.e., V-max, K-cat and...
