Howard County VOTER OCTOBER, 2019
the Howard County VOTER OCTOBER, 2019 PRESIDENT’S LETTER UPCOMING EVENTS Beth Hufnagel, President OCTOBER 2 Fall greetings, and congratulations to those of you who are all about the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future pumpkin-flavor everything! Howard Co. Forum Our first Unit Meeting in September was, I think, exactly what the League is Patapsco Middle School about. We first interacted in an intimate setting with our local county Board of 5:30 PM Elections, then were updated on a local Study, this year an Equity in Education 8885 Old Frederick Rd. Study led by Krista Threefoot, our Education Director. If you missed this meeting, Ellicott City, MD you still have a chance to catch the October meetings October 16 or 17; see Thea Jones’ report later on in this Newsletter. OCTOBER 3 LVWHC Board Meeting Last month I incorrectly stated that Unit Meetings are open to members only. On Oakland Manor the contrary, Unit Meetings are open to the public, BUT only members can vote, if 7:00 – 8:30 PM that is part of the program for that particular meeting. 5430 Vantage Point Rd. The League is re-thinking our voter-registration strategy. We will continue to work Columbia, MD with the Board of Elections in the high schools, but we are also considering how to reach other populations that are under-registered. OCTOBER 5 Oakland Mills Fall Festival The League has also had “Get Out the Vote” as part of our mission for a long time, 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM and we are re-thinking how to expedite that in this new world of social media.

Exploring the Influence of Entropy on Dynamic Macromolecular Ligation
Exploring the Influence of Entropy on Dynamic Macromolecular Ligation Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines DOKTORS DER NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN (Dr. rer. nat.) der KIT-Fakultät für Chemie und Biowissenschaften des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) genehmigte DISSERTATION von Dipl.-Chem. Kai Pahnke aus Nagold, Deutschland KIT-Dekan: Prof. Dr. Willem M. Klopper Referent: Prof. Dr. Christopher Barner-Kowollik Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Manfred Wilhelm Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 22.07.2016 Die vorliegende Arbeite wurde im Zeitraum von Februar 2013 bis Juni 2016 im Rahmen einer Kollaboration zwischen dem KIT und der Evonik Industries AG unter der Betreuung von Prof. Dr. Christopher Barner-Kowollik durchgeführt Only entropy comes easy. Anton Chekhov ABSTRACT The present thesis reports a novel, expedient linker species as well as previously unforeseen effects of physical molecular parameters on reaction entropy and thus equilibria with extensive implications on diverse fields of research via the study of dynamic ligation chemistries, especially in the realm of macromolecular chemistry. A set of experiments investigating the influence of different physical molecular parameters on reaction or association equilibria is designed. Initially, previous findings of a mass dependant effect on the reaction entropy – resulting in a more pronounced debonding of heavier or longer species – are reproduced and expanded to other dynamic ligation techniques as well as further characterization methods, now including a rapid and catalyst- free Diels–Alder reaction. The effects are evidenced via high temperature nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HT NMR) as well as temperature dependent size exclusion chromatography (TD SEC) and verified via quantum chemical ab initio calculations. Next, the impact of chain mobility on entropic reaction parameters and thus the overall bonding behavior is explored via the thermoreversible ligation of chains of similar mass and length, comprising isomeric butyl side-chain substituents with differing steric demands.

Microstructure and Properties of Polytetrafluoroethylene Composites
coatings Article Microstructure and Properties of Polytetrafluoroethylene Composites Modified by Carbon Materials and Aramid Fibers Fubao Zhang *, Jiaqiao Zhang , Yu Zhu, Xingxing Wang and Yuyang Jin School of Mechanical Engineering, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China; [email protected] (J.Z.); [email protected] (Y.Z.); [email protected] (X.W.); [email protected] (Y.J.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-13646288919 Received: 12 October 2020; Accepted: 16 November 2020; Published: 18 November 2020 Abstract: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is polymerized by tetrafluoroethylene, which has high corrosion resistance, self-lubrication and high temperature resistance. However, due to the large expansion coefficient, high temperature will gradually weaken the intermolecular bonding force of PTFE, which will lead to the enhancement of permeation absorption and the limitation of the application range of fluoroplastics. In order to improve the performance of PTFE, the modified polytetrafluoroethylene, filled by carbon materials and aramid fiber with different scales, is prepared through the compression and sintering. Moreover, the mechanical properties and wear resistance of the prepared composite materials are tested. In addition, the influence of different types of filler materials and contents on the properties of PTFE is studied. According to the experiment results, the addition of carbon fibers with different scales reduces the tensile and impact properties of the composite materials, but the elastic modulus and wear resistance are significantly improved. Among them, the wear rate of 7 µm carbon fiber modified PTFE has decreased by 70%, and the elastic modulus has increased by 70%. The addition of aramid fiber filler significantly reduces the tensile and impact properties of the composite, but its elastic modulus and wear resistance are significantly improved.
