Two sets of structures were determined by X-ray crystallographic techniques, one of maleic anhydride (2,5-furandione) and the other of 4-phenyl-4-p-bromophenylcyclohex-2-en-1-one and its photoproduct, trans-5-phenyl-6-p-bromophenylbicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-one. Analysis of maleic anhydride included a room temperature redetermination of the crystal structure. This was done to improve parameters and simplify comparison of the room temperature and low temperature data. The structure determination at 104k resulted in the location of bonding electrons in the double bond. Thermal motions of both sets of data showed that translational motion was greatest along an axis parallel to the carbonyl bonds. Libration was found to be greatest about this axis also. The second set of structures was done to examine the migration pattern of aryl groups upon irradiation of a diarylcyclohexenone. The major photoproduct was formed by migration of the p-bromophenyl group. The resulting bicyclohexanone had the aryl groups trans to each other. / Science, Faculty of / Chemistry, Department of / Graduate

Bicomponent fibers consisting of nylon-6 and isotactic polypropylene were produced. In-situ, reactive compatibilization was achieved using a maleic anhydride functionalized polypropylene between the materials at the interface. The overall goal of the research was to produce a bicomponent fiber of these materials that would be suitable for use in commercial carpet applications. Carpet samples produced using nylon-6 core / polypropylene sheath bicomponent fibers displayed stain resistance comparable to a wholly polypropylene carpet. The wear characteristics of these fibers were found to be strongly dependent upon the maleic anhydride content and the molecular weight of the maleic anhydride functionalized polypropylene. Adhesion between the nylon-6 and polypropylene phases, and the mechanical properties of the polypropylene phase were affected by the addition of the functionalized polypropylene. Additional information regarding the processing conditions necessary to produce fibers of the desired cross-section from these materials was obtained using capillary rheometry. A number of analytical techniques including DSC, TGA, and SEM were used to better understand the structure of the maleated materials. / Master of Science
