Although IFF-R has been proven to be consistent for some crystalline organic and inorganic systems, it has not yet been proven to be consistent for amorphous polymer systems. The objective of this study is to use IFF-R to predict the thermomechanical properties of three different epoxy systems and validate them with experimental measurements.

The results indicate that IFF-R predicts thermomechanical properties that are consistent with the experiment. Therefore, IFF-R can be used to reliably establish the mechanical properties of polymers on the molecular level for future design of new composite materials and processing methods.

In this work, we investigate the effects of deep eutectic solvents DESs on a facile reversible addition—fragmentation chain-transfer RAFT polymerization driven by visible light. A DES composed of tetrabutylammonium chloride TBACl and ethylene glycol served as a nonvolatile medium for a variety of monomers, including methyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate, dimethylacrylamide, and styrene.

We first employed the polymerization-through pathway to overcome oxygen inhibition in an open-to-air environment using methyl methacrylate as the model compound.

The photoiniferter polymerization using trithiocarbonates as the chain transfer agent CTA in DESs exhibited enhanced polymerization rates and achieved a narrow molecular weight distribution. Interestingly, even dithiobenzoate, the CTA with low efficiency for photoiniferter polymerization, exhibited a nearly 4. Moreover, the stability of the CTAs was increased in DESs for efficient control of molecular weight distribution and preservation of functional chain ends.

The PET-RAFT polymerization using dithiobenzoate in DESs showed even higher polymerization rates than the photoiniferter polymerization and enabled the polymerization under natural sunlight.

Besides methyl methacrylate, other monomers also exhibited an increased polymerization rate in DESs, comparable to reactions in ionic liquids. These results suggest that DESs are effective and green media to facilitate photo-induced RAFT polymerization without additives or tedious degassing processes. The contribution of heterosequences was analyzed for both batch ATRP systems and in the presence of feeding, to identify the conditions that maximize the amount of alternating sequences in the copolymers.

With increasing segregation strength, conformational asymmetry and chirality effect lead to the formation and the enlarged forming window of the helical phase as PS being the major component. As PLLA becomes the major component, only the lamellar phase can be formed due to the rod—rod interaction. Interestingly, in the strong segregation region, the lamellar phase with out-of-phase undulation due to conformational asymmetry and in-phase undulation due to chirality effect referred to as undulated lamellar phase can be found.

The mechanical properties of nonequilibrium polymer hydrogels obtained from the transient cross-linking of polymer chains by a chemical fuel were investigated. Aqueous polymers featuring pendant carboxylic acids were treated with a carbodiimide to give anhydride-cross-linked gels.

The anhydrides spontaneously hydrolyze back to the polymer solution, and the cycle can be repeated multiple times. Oscillatory rheology was employed to study the effects of temperature, fuel concentration, chain length, and polymer composition on the storage and loss moduli of the polymeric materials as well as the time taken for the polymers to undergo decross-linking.

Regardless of the temperature used, at constant carbodiimide concentration, degelation times are more sensitive to experimental temperature than are the peak storage moduli. Decross-linking times decrease with increasing temperature. As carbodiimide concentration decreases, there is a decrease in moduli and decross-linking times. Within the scope of materials studied, the polymer structure was found to have a relatively small impact on the transient properties of gel networks compared to the fuel concentration and temperature.

These findings facilitate the design of tunable on-demand networks and gels. For this conformationally symmetric system, the disordered micelle regime emerges near the order—disorder transition predicted by self-consistent field theory SCFT , consistent with theory and recent observations from molecular dynamics simulations of a related system.

The disordered micelle regime is associated with a sharp increase in the number of micellar particles per unit volume, which need to fuse to reach the particle density required to form an ordered body-centered cubic bcc state past the order—disorder transition.

The addition of conformational asymmetry for this system does not significantly impact the location of the order—disorder transition, but it increases the SCFT order—disorder transition to a higher segregation strength.

As a result, the disordered micelle regime is suppressed, with the number density of particles increasing monotonically to the bcc number density. If this tentative conclusion about the role of conformational asymmetry obtained from observations for a single system proves to be valid in general, it suggests that thermal processing routes toward Laves phases in particle-forming diblock copolymer melts, which presumably require access to a disordered micelle regime, must operate at low invariant degrees of polymerization to realize a sufficiently wide disordered micelle regime.

High-performance piezoelectric polymers are promising for a broad range of practical applications, such as sensors, actuators, and energy generators in medical devices, wearable electronics, and soft robotics.

However, it was still unclear how the dipole mobility in the SCOAF affected the piezoelectricity of ferroelectric polymers. This understanding of the dipole mobility in SCOAF provides a guide to achieving high piezoelectric performance in other ferroelectric polymers such as PVDF homopolymers.

To simultaneously obtain outstanding stretchability, strength, and charge mobility of conjugated polymers CPs has remained a challenge for the field of stretchable electronics to date. Herein, we propose a strategy of increasing the molecular weight of a near-amorphous CP poly indacenodithiophene-co-benzothiadiazole IDT-BT to an ultrahigh level to overcome the trade-off.

Detailed molecular weight-dependent study confirms that increasing the molecular weight can simultaneously enhance the mechanical and charge transport properties of IDT-BT, owing to the higher extent of chain entanglement and a larger range of charge transport along the backbone. Ultrahigh-molecular-weight To the best of our knowledge, the ultrahigh-Mw IDT-BT outperforms previously reported stretchable CPs by exhibiting enhanced elasticity, strength, and charge mobility at the same time.

Heterochain polymers play an essential role in our daily life due to their distinctive properties. Among various heteroatom-rich structures, amidine derivatives serve as a synthetically important and pharmacologically useful structural branch. The multicomponent polymerizations of readily accessible diynes, disulfonyl azides, and N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal proceed efficiently at room temperature, producing amidine-containing polymers with high molecular weights in high yields within merely 1 h.

The introduction of aggregation-induced emission AIE luminogen together with the inherent heteroatom-rich structure feature endows these polymers with multiple functionalities. The nanoaggregates of the diethylamino-substituted polymer show remarkable and reversible fluorescence response to acid and base, and the acid-fumed polymer thin film can be used as a sensitive and reusable fluorescent probe for detecting seafood spoilage.

In addition, the AIE polymers can also be applied in lysosome-specific cell imaging with low cytotoxicity and excellent photostability. The doping of a polymer chain with nitrogen is an efficient strategy to endow polymer materials with functionality.

However, the molecular design of polyarylamines through direct C—N bond formation is still challenging. Biological soft tissues usually execute their functions via nonequilibrium and dynamic structural transformations. By contrast, functional hydrogels are mainly constructed by implementing static and equilibrium structures in the polymer network. Here, using polyampholyte hydrogel as a model system, we demonstrated that the nonequilibrium structure transformation in self-healing hydrogels enables the gels with many new features, including thermal history dependence, quick and asymmetric thermal response instant transparent-to-turbid transition but slow turbid-to-transparent transition , tunable cloud point, tunable recovery time, and tiny changes in sample size and mechanical performance.

These features make them distinct to conventional thermoresponsive hydrogels based on thermodynamic equilibrium and endow them with a new type of promising thermoresponsive materials. We revealed the structure change and studied the role of the thermal protocol on this thermoresponsive behavior by combining ultraviolet spectrum, small-angle X-ray scattering, rheology, and mechanical measurements. We also presented two conceptual applications of this thermoresponsive hydrogel in thermal imaging and security paper.

We believe that this work will inspire future research on creating functional hydrogels via nonequilibrium structure transformations. Herein, we report on a new and innovative post-polymerization modification procedure for the ethylene-free synthesis of polyethylene copolymers and block copolymers. Poly[N- acryloyloxy phthalimide] statistical and block copolymers synthesized by straightforward reversible-deactivation radical polymerization are used for thermally and photochemically induced metal-catalyzed decarboxylation yielding polyethylenes by the formation of a secondary radical at the polymer backbone that is able to react with a hydrogen source.

The presented route toward various polyethylene structures via decarboxylation reactions establishes a new synthetic method in polymer chemistry, namely, the straightforward and efficient synthesis of different polyethylene block copolymers.

Some novel monoalkyl-N-aryl-substituted iminopyridine iron chloride complexes, differing in the nature of the substituent at the iminic carbon and at the ortho position of the aryl ring, were synthesized and characterized.

For one of them, single crystals were obtained, which allowed for the determination of its crystalline structure, in which the iron center is coordinated to the chlorides and to the two nitrogen atoms of the ligand. The coordination around iron is distorted tetrahedral, a coordination mode rarely identified for FeCl2 adducts with bidentate nitrogen ligands. A detailed NMR characterization 1H-, 13C-, and 2D experiments of the resultant poly isoprene s is reported, and a tentative scheme for the formation of the novel isoprene polymers is proposed.

Reversible poly methacrylate networks are synthesized with tunable thermomechanical and self-healing properties. Reaction-induced phase separation is achieved by changing the balance between soft and hard blocks, leading to homogeneous and partially phase-separated, fully reversible poly methacrylate networks. The incorporation of urethane bonds introduces hydrogen bonding capacity.

For comparison, irreversible poly methacrylate networks, that is, without reversible Diels—Alder bonds, are synthesized via UV-polymerization of irreversible methacrylate-functionalized prepolymers. A tunable self-healing behavior is demonstrated. The single-dynamic high-modulus poly methacrylate networks, purely based on reversible Diels—Alder bonds, show the slowest self-healing, for example, for 7 days under ambient conditions.

The dual-dynamic high-modulus poly methacrylate networks, based on covalent Diels—Alder bonding and supramolecular hydrogen bonding, show the fastest self-healing, for example, for 10 min under ambient conditions if hydrogen bonding is combined with intrinsic local network mobility in case of a partially phase-separated network morphology. Polymers that are sourced from truly sustainable feedstocks and have favorable physical properties can provide compelling alternatives to conventional petrochemical plastic.

In this study, solution-phase anionic ring-opening polymerization is used to synthesize poly iminomethylene cis-tetrahydro-2,5-furandiyl carbonyl PITC from 8-oxaazabicyclo[3. Under optimized conditions, the reaction proceeds to give near-quantitative yield in minutes at low temperatures. Additionally, PITC can be chemically recycled by acid-catalyzed depolymerization and subsequent cyclization to regenerate the lactam monomer. The data processing and visualization methods are of paramount importance in the mass spectrometry of copolymers.

To determine the copolymer composition, in this article, a robust algorithm is proposed for the compositional assignment and for the estimation of the relative abundance of each species present in copolymer mass spectra. Our homemade software enables the accurate calculation of the compositional drift, i. Furthermore, we introduce a novel copolymer quantity, namely, the polydispersity also called as dispersity ratio PDR of the comonomers, and establish a characteristic relationship between the shape of the composition drift curves and the PDR values.

This relation allows, for instance, a quick visual recognition of the presence of diblocks in a triblock copolymer by means of mass spectrometry. Our approach is demonstrated by the analysis of various poloxamers, i. The determined number-average molecular weights and the ethylene oxide contents were also confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Dynamic light scattering experiments revealed that small variations in the copolymer composition significantly affect the properties of the copolymer. Topology transformations of polymer architectures via dynamic covalent chemistry have attracted considerable attention in recent decades, as they change the primary structure of the polymer architecture and thus the polymer properties.

In addition, an italicized connective infix is placed between the names of monomers to denote the kind of sequential arrangement by which the constitutional monomeric units, derived from each monomer, are related in the structure [4].

Seven types of sequence arrangements are listed with their corresponding connectives:. The names of the monomers are those common or semisystematic names that are encountered most often in the literature of polymer science. The order of citation of monomers in copolymer names is arbitrary.

An equally acceptable alternative scheme for naming copolymers utilizes the prefix "copoly", followed by citation of the names of the monomers, separated by an oblique stroke a solidus. Parentheses are not needed to enclose monomer names consisting of two or more words.

Nonlinear Macromolecules and Macromolecular Assemblies Most recently, the source-based nomenclature has been extended for non-linear macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies [5], The non-linear macromolecules comprise branched, graft, comb, star, cyclic, and network macromolecules.

The macromolecular assemblies comprise polymer blends, interpenetrating polymer networks, and polymer-polymer complexes. The following italicized qualifiers can be used as both prefixes e. Connective cyclo branch sh-branch l-branch f-branch comb star f-star net t Greek iota blend ipn sipn compl.

Regular Single-Strand Organic Polymers For regular organic polymers which have only one species of constitutional repeating unit CRU in a single sequential arrangement and consist of single strands only, the name is poly constitutional repeating unit , wherein the repeating group is named as a bivalent organic group according to the IUPAC nomenclature rules for organic compounds [I]. Each such repeating group can consists of simple or substituted subunits such as: methylene ethylene vinylene hexane-l,6-diyl 1-chloroethylene 1 -oxopropane-1,3-diyl adipoyl 1,4-phenylene cyclohexane-1,4-diyl oxy thio sulfonyl imino methylimino hydrazo piperidine-1,4-diyl.

In naming non-linear homopolymer molecules, the italicized prefix for the skeletal structure of the macromolecule is placed before the source-based name of the constituent linear chain. Assemblies of macromolecules held together by noncovalent bonds are named by a combination of the names of.

References page Yet, the CRU can be identified in at least three ways. In all cases, the basic seniority rules apply only to those atoms or groups of atoms that are in the main chain. The kinds of substituents on the main chain whether acyclic carbon-only groups, or hetero-atom-containing groups, or any ring systems do not affect the selection of the CRU, unless identical basic subunits in the chain have to be further differentiated by the number of substituents and their alphabetical order, but not by the type of the substituent.

If completely identical subunits are separated by other subunits, the direction of citation is determined by the shorter part between them. The preferred CRU is the one beginning with the subunit of highest seniority. To establish direction, one proceeds from this subunit to the neighboring subunit of the same or next in seniority.

In the example of a poly chloroethylene oxide , shown above, where a regularly repeating structure has been assumed, the subunit of the highest seniority is the oxygen atom and the subunit next in seniority is a substituted - C H 2 - C H 2 -. The substituted subunit, - C H C l - C H 2 - , is oriented in such a way that the substituent, chlorine atom, is assigned the lowest locant 1 rather than 2. The CRU is written to read from left to right.

Thus, the preferred CRU is. To obtain a unique name based on a preferred CRU, several rules have to be applied. Rules have been developed to specify both seniority among subunits, that is, the point at which to begin writing the CRU, and also the direction in which to move along the chain from left to right to reach the end of the chain.

The order of seniority among the types of bivalent groups that are parts of the chain of a single-strand polymer is a.

Within each structural type, the seniority is established by further criteria: a. The chemical structure of the CRU is enclosed in parentheses or brackets. While dashes representing chemical bonds may be omitted within the formula unless necessary for clarity, at the ends of the CRU, dashes must be shown. They are drawn across the enclosing marks. Example: poly pyridine-3,5-diylcarbonyloxymethylene shows a polymer, whose CRU starts with a heterocycle and then proceeds through a substituted carbon atom to a hetero atom.

If the end groups of the chain are known, they may be specified by adding prefixes to the polymer name, with the. Regular Double-Strand Organic Polymers In a double-strand polymer, the macromolecules consist of an uninterrupted sequence of rings with adjacent rings having two or more atoms in common a ladder polymer or one atom in common a spiro polymer.

As for a single-strand polymer, a single preferred constitutional repeating unit CRU must be selected in order to obtain a unique name [6]. The CRU is usually a tetravalent group denoting attachment to four atoms and is named according to the usual rules of organic nomenclature. Again, the name of the polymer is in the form of.

Further decisions are based on the seniority of ring systems indicated in the preceding section , on the orientation of the CRU to give the lowest free valence locant at the lower left of the structural diagram, and on placing the acyclic subunits, if any, on the right side of the ring system within the CRU.

For a polymer consisting of adjacent 6-membered saturated carbon rings:. That left two bivalent acyclic subunits carbonyl groups , which according to the rule, have been placed on the right side of the cyclic subunit, with attachments as in the original polymer. Another, still more complex ladder polymer, derived from the polycondensation of 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride with 1,2,4,5-benzenetetramine:. It is followed within the total CRU by an acyclic group at the upper right side of the diagram.

For a polymer consisting of regularly repeating adjacent cyclohexane and 1,3-dioxane rings in a spiro sequence one atom in common at each junction :. The free valence locants are always placed just in front of the corresponding ending of the tetravalent unit and are cited in the order lower-left, upper-left: upper-right, lower-right that is, in a clockwise direction, the left locants being separated from the right locants by a colon.

For a more complex ladder polymer consisting of an alternating sequence of 6-membered sulfur-containing rings and keto-group containing carbocycles, with two atoms in. Regular Single-Strand Inorganic and Coordination Polymers The names of inorganic and coordination polymers are based on the fundamentals developed for organic polymers [7].

As in the nomenclature of organic polymers, these rules apply to structural representations. A constitutional repeating unit CRU is selected and named.

The name of the polymer is the name of the CRU prefixed by the term "poly", "catena", or other structural indicator. In order to arrive at the preferred CRU, seniorities of the constitutent subunits are considered as well as the preferred direction for the sequential citation.

The constituent subunit of the highest seniority must contain one or more central atoms; bridging groups between central atoms in the backbone of the polymer are of lower seniority. This is consistent with the principle of coordination nomenclature which puts the emphasis on the coordination center. Examples of homoatomic backbones are.

More common coordination polymers consist of a mononuclear central atom with a bridging ligand. Such polymers are named as single-strand coordination polymers:. Irregular Single-Strand Organic Polymers Irregular polymers are named by placing the prefix "poly" before the structure-based names of the constitutional units, collectively enclosed in parentheses or brackets, with the individual constitutional units separated by an oblique stroke a solidus [8].

The stroke indicates the irregular or unknown sequential arrangement of these units. The dashes at each end of the formula are drawn fully inside the enclosing marks to denote that these are not necessarily terminal bonds of the macromolecule.

For instance, a partially hydrolyzed poly vinyl acetate containing units:. Multiple bridging ligands between the pair of central atoms are cited in alphabetic order. Italicized element symbols indicating the coordinating atoms in bridging ligands are cited in the order of direction of the CRU and are separated by a colon:.

The main purpose of chemical nomenclature is to identify a chemical species by means of written or spoken words for a useful communication among chemists. A systematic nomenclature arose from the need to provide a relationship between the structure and the name.

In other words, the reader should be able to deduce and identify the structure from the name. Traditional names, however, not necessarily based on structures, have been widely used for many common compounds. These are the so-called common, trivial, or semisystematic names, which are satisfactory for communication within a given special chemical field. It was earlier stated that in the macromolecular nomenclature IUPAC is recommending the use of common and semisystematic names for monomers in the sourcebased polymer names.

The structure-based names, on the other hand, are more related to the structural characteristic of the polymers. But even there, IUPAC allows for a limited number of common names for such substituent groups as "allyl" and "vinyl", and for bivalent groups such as "adipoyl" and "terephthaloyl". On the other hand, in some compilations such as "Crystallographic Data for Various Polymers" in Section VI , the author provides an excellent introduction and explanation of the names used. For some structure-based names, reflecting constitutional repeating units CRU , especially for those with a center of symmetry, the naming of linking bivalent groups begins with the central subunit and proceeds in both directions.

In no case, there is any misunderstanding in either case as to which structure is associated with each name. Abbreviations and acronyms are also extensively used in the chemical literature for monomers, polymers, as well as for additives, modifiers, and fillers. As is clearly stated there, the same abbreviation is often used for different monomers and polymers, and the same polymer may have different abbreviations or acronyms.

Examples: 1. DPP 2. PVA 3. The IUPAC policy [9] on the use of abbreviations in the chemical literature states that there are great advantages in defining all abbreviations in a single conspicuous place in each paper, preferably near the beginning of the paper in a single list. An alternative is to define each abbreviation fully the first time it appears in the text. No abbreviations should be used in the titles of publications. A chapter of this Handbook contains a set of abbreviations recognized by international organizations.

Handbook name: poly 4,4'-sulfonyldiphenylene carbonate IUPAC name: poly oxycarbonyloxy-l,4-phenylenesulfonyl-1,4-phenylene 2. There are definitive rules that govern when each type of structure is recorded and named [3], The primary, comprehensive representation of polymers by CAS is by citation of the component monomer s because, in many cases, the structure of the final polymer is either not known or is not described in sufficient detail by the author. When the polymer structure is well documented by the author or can be confidently assumed, because one and only one structure is chemically possible, then a supplementary representation with a corresponding systematic name is added to the CAS Registry System and included in the printed indexes and online files.

However, their rules of systematic nomenclature do not necessarily lead to a unique name for each compound, but do lead to an unambiguous one. This causes no difficulty in normal scientific communication, but is unacceptable in a formal, rigidly controlled, alphabetic listing such as the CA Chemical Substance Index.

The CA index names must not only be unambiguous, unique, and totally reproducible, but also selected so as to bring the names of structurally related substances into juxtaposition in the alphabetic index. CAS has always recognized that, while a unique name is needed for an index and for substance identification, the use of such invariant name in scientific papers is neither practicable nor desirable.

In this section, it is intended to highlight the characteristics of the CA index names for polymers and compare them with some of the typical names used in the scientific community. IUPAC rules have been adapted to the specific needs of a highly ordered alphabetical index. Most common names were eliminated and exceptional treatment for various classes of substances was discontinued.

A single preferred name is determined for each identifiable substance. A strict order of precedence of chemical functions and compound classes is followed to determine the preferred "index heading parent". A total name is "inverted" by citing first the index heading parent usually, basic skeleton name with a locant and suffix denoting the principal function , followed by the comma of inversion, the substituents, and the modification derivative of the principal function , e.

As mentioned above, most common names, including those still sanctioned by IUPAC, have been replaced by fully systematic names. The following is a short list of most common monomers with both common names and CA Index names: Common acrylamide acrylic acid acrylonitrile adipic acid 8-caprolactam 8-caprolactone ethylene glycol ethylene oxide fumaric acid. Similarly, commonly named substituent and multiplying groups have their systematic equivalents in CA Indexes: adipoyl allyl tert-butyl ethylene hexamethylene isopropyl succinyl vinyl vinylene.

Homopolymers are described by the term "homopolymer" cited in the modification under the monomer name in the index. In the structural diagram derived from the CAS Registry System records, the structure of the monomer is enclosed in parentheses followed by a subscript "x". The corresponding empirical formula is also expressed in a similar way. In the structural diagram derived from the CAS Registry System records, the structures of monomers, separated by a period or periods, are enclosed in parentheses followed by a subscript ' V.

The corresponding empirical formulas are similarly expressed. The descriptors alternating, block, and graft are cited whenever applicable. The corresponding empirical formula is expressed in the same way. Vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer terminated with mercaptopropionic acid:.

CA names: 2-Pyrrolidinone, 1-ethenyl-, telomer with 3-mercaptopropanoic acid Propanoic acid, 3-mercapto-, telomer with l-ethenylpyrrolidinone 2.

Assumptions are made for a. The structural repeating unit is named by citation of one or more multivalent radicals of regular substitutive nomenclature. In CA names, however, the names of the radicals are fully systematic, as explained and contrasted above. The empirical formula is enclosed in parentheses followed by a subscript "n". Nylon CA name: Poly oxy-1,4-phenyleneoxy-1,4-phenylenecarbonyl-1,4-phenylene Poly alkylene glycols and their ethers and esters are indexed in CA as structural repeating units with the specified end groups, if aplicable.

With certain peroxides, however, higher order decompositions are observed. Generally, the higher order reaction is caused by a reaction of radicals with the initiator induced decomposition.

The value of the rate for unimolecular decomposition may be determined either by extrapolation of the rate back to zero initiator concentration or by use of a monomer or other radical "trap". Some of the peroxides may also decompose by non-radical routes.

Acids, bases, and polar solvents favor ionic intermediates. Koenig presents an excellent discussion of azo and peroxide decomposition pathways. Decomposition rate kd data in these tables are reported for first order kinetics:.

Where given by the author, the overall equation for kd in terms of the frequency factor A and activation energy a has been included. Thus for any temperature converted to K the kd may be calculated:.

Although a wide range of initiators is reported in the tables, the author admits that the compilation is far from complete. There are several purposeful omissions: a azo compounds, where the azo group is part of a ring structure - these recombine almost exclusively; b compounds that decompose at appreciable rates only above degrees. Neither class would be expected to be useful initiators. The data have been arranged into seven tables.

Within each table the individual initiators are listed according to the following criteria: 1. Initiators: a according to increasing number of carbon atoms; b alphabetically neglecting trivial prefixes , for compounds containing equal number of carbons; c miscellaneous initiators are listed alphabetically in Table 7.

For each initiator, solvents are listed alphabetically. For a given solvent, all measurements reported by one investigator are listed in a series, with the activation energy listed opposite the lowest temperature. Figure 1. IxIO-5 2. OxIO- 5 1. OxIO- 6 9.
