Active polycondensation of diethyl 2,3,4,5‐tetrahydroxyadipate with diamines

Abstract: Polycondensation of diethyl 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxyadipate with various diamines was carried out in solutions under mild conditions. The polycondensation reaction occurred rapidly even at room temperature in polar solvents such as alcohols, and in aqueous solution a cyclic product was obtained instead of linear polymers although the reaction with diamines was completed within several minutes. Polymers obtained from diethyl 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxyadipate were a linear polyamide having pendant hydroxyl groups, which decomposed on heating at around 200°C. A solid-phase polycondensation of the precursor polyamide yielded a high molecular weight polyamide.

Topology dependent quantities at the anderson transition

Abstract: The boundary condition dependence of the critical behavior for the three dimensional Anderson transition is investigated. A strong dependence of the scaling function and the critical conductance distribution on the boundary conditions is found, while the critical disorder and critical exponent are found to be independent of the boundary conditions.
