The mechanism of ultrasonic degradation is still obscure, but it is well accepted that cavitation bubbles are mainly responsible for the degradation. The intense shear field generated by the collapse of the cavitation bubbles induces chain scission. Most of investigations on ultrasonic degradation have been carried out at low ultrasonic frequency around 20kHz. In this work, the ultrasonic degradation of methyl cellulose in aqueous solution was studied at two frequencies (20kHz and 500kHz) at the constant calorimetric power (20W) and temperature (25℃). The time variation of the average molecular weights and the molecular distribution were determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). The mass average molecular weights (M_w) decreases with sonication time. The large lowering of M_w was observed at the frequency 500kHz. The degradation rate was suppressed by the addition of t-BuOH which act as a radical scavenger. The ultrasonic degradation rate coefficient k_d was estimated and compared with the results of other water-soluble polymers. The order of k_d value were PEO > Dextran 〓 Pullulan > MC. We will discuss on the frequency effects on the ultrasonic degradation.

高分子液晶のダイナミクスの特徴を明らかにすることを目的に, 2つのメソゲンをアルキル鎖で連結した二量体液晶分子のネマチック液晶BCBO-m(mはアルキル鎖炭素数)の動的光散乱測定を行った.動的光散乱から,液晶ダイレクターの広がりと曲げのモードの周波数(K/η)を決定することに成功した.それらはmの偶奇に依存する偶奇振動を示した.mが偶数のほうが奇数よりも大きな値を示した.フレデリクス転移挙動から弾性定数を調べたところ,同様な偶奇効果が弾性定数にもみられ,周波数の偶奇効果は弾性定数に支配されるものと結論した.
