Effect of water droplet in solvent sublation

Aqueous phase layer around bubble and water droplet are two additional processes in solvent sublation. In the dynamic process of mass transfer, they are always neglected, but they are very important in the investigation of thermodynamic equilibrium. In this paper, the effect of water droplet in solvent sublation was discussed in detail, and the previous mathematical model of solvent subaltion was improved. Matlab 6.5 was used to simulate the process of water droplets, and the comparison between the previous hypothesis and the improvement in this paper showed the superiority, especially in the investigation of thermodynamic equilibrium. Moreover, the separation and concentration of the complex compound dithizone-Co（Ⅱ） from aqueous phase to n-octanol by solvent sublation also proved the improved mathematical model was reasonable.

Substituent Effect on N-Benzylideneanilines by DFT Energy Partition

To investigate the substituent effect on x-electron delocalization of the N-benzylideneaniline （NBA）, the vertical resonance energies △E^V（θ） of eleven substituted NBAs were separated into n and a parts at the B3LYP/6-311G（d） level of the Density Functional Theory （DFT）. When substituted with an electron-releasing group --OH, the calculated △E^V（θ） of NBA was increased, indicative of more resonance destabilization than the mother molecule. However, when substituted with an electron-withdrawing group -NO2, the calculated △E^V（θ） values indicated less resonance destabilization. The most destabilizing effect was observed especially when the -OH group located at the ortho-position of the aromatic ring in the fragment -N=CH-Ar. For most of the substituted NBA molecules, it was the destabilized a framework that determined the destabilizing feature of the vertical resonance energy, instead of the stabilized n system. When the -NO2 substituent at the para-position of the aromatic ring of the -N=CH-Ar group, the π system had the highest stabilizing effect while the σ framework exhibited the highest destabilizing effect. While the -NO2 substituent was at the para-position of the left aromatic ring （At-）, the NBA had the least vertical resonance energy value.

Effect of β-nucleation on crystallization of photodegraded polypropylene

The work deals with crystallization of photodegraded polypropylene containing various amounts of β-nucleating agent based on N,N′-dicyclohexylnaphthalene-2,6-dicarboxamide. Compression-moulded samples were irradiated by UV-light, melted and subsequently non-isothermally crystallized. The results showed that the crystallization temperature decreased with increasing irradiation time. The irradiation caused the splitting of crystallization exotherms into two peaks indicating two crystallization mechanisms. The presence of β-nucleating agent in the material suppressed the peak splitting; the higher was the amount of nucleating agent in the sample, the later was the splitting observed.

Effect of self-aggregation of γ-cyclodextrin on drug solubilization

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of drug-saturated aqueous cyclodextrin (CD) solutions. Phase solubility profiles of different drugs were determined in aqueous solutions containing γ-cyclodextrin (γCD) and/or hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HPγCD) in absence or presence of water-soluble polymers. ¹H-NMR and turbidity analysis were performed as well as permeation studies. Phase solubility diagrams showed that the observed γCD content (1–20% w/v) was only slightly different from the theoretical values for aqueous solutions that had been saturated with indomethacin, diclofenac sodium or amphotericin B, all displayed A-type profiles, while it was less than the theoretical value in solutions that had been saturated with corticosteroids (hydrocortisone and dexamethasone) that displayed B_S-type profiles. In the latter case self-assemble of drug/CD complexes decreased the overall CD solubility. Water-soluble polymers enhanced aqueous solubility of the drugs tested by stabilizing the drug/CD complexes, i.e. enhancing their stability constants, without affecting the observed aqueous γCD solubility. When the drug solubility leveled off (the B_S-type profiles) the amount of dissolved γCD increased and approached the theoretical values. Hydrocortisone formed partial inclusion complex with γCD and HPγCD and no non-inclusion or aggregates could be detected in diluted solutions by ¹H-NMR. Both permeation and turbidity studies showed that formation of dexamethasone/γCD complex promoted CD aggregation. All these observations indicate that CD aggregate formations play a role in CD solubilization of lipophilic and poorly water-soluble drugs and that the water-soluble polymers enhance the complexation efficiency of γCD and HPγCD by stabilizing the self-assembled drug/CD nanoparticles and promote non-inclusion complex formation.

On the Nature of the Cherdyntsev–Chalov Effect

It is shown that the Cherdyntsev–Chalov effect, usually presented as the separation of even isotopes of uranium upon their transition from the solid to the liquid phase, can include initiated acceleration of the radioactive decay of uranium-238 nuclei during the formation of cracks in geologically (seismic and volcanically) active zones of the Earth’s crust. The fissuring of the solid-phase medium leads to an increase in mechanical tensile stress and the emergence of strong local electric fields, resulting in the injection of chemical-scale high-energy electrons into the aqueous phase of the cracks. Under these conditions, the e^? catalytic decay of uranium-238 nucleus studied earlier can occur during the formation of metastable protactinium-238 nuclei with locally distorted nucleon structure, which subequently undergo β^–decay with the formation of thorium-234 and helium-4 nuclei as products of the fission of the initial uranium-238 nucleus with a characteristic period of several years. The observed increased activity of uranium-234 nuclei that form during the subsequent β-decay of thorium and then protactinium is associated with the initiated fission of uranium-238. The possibility is discussed of developing thermal power by using existing wastes from uranium production that contain uranium-238 to activate this isotope through the mechanochemical processing of these wastes in aqueous media with the formation of ₉₁ ²³⁸ Pa _isu , the half-life of which is several years.     

Dynamical Spin Chirality and Magnetoelectric Effect of α-Glycine

Dynamical spin chirality of α-glycine crystal at 301−302 K was investigated by DC (direct current)-magnetic susceptibility measurement at temperatures ranging from 2 to 315 K under the external magnetic fields (H=±1 T) parallel to the b axis. The α-glycine crystallizes in space group P2₁/n with four molecules in a cell, which has centrosymmetric charge distribution. The bifurcated hydrogen bonds N⁺(3)−H(8)···O(1) and N⁺(3)−H(8)···O(2) are stacked along the b axis with different bond intensities and angles, which form anti-parallel double layers. Atomic force spectroscopy result at 303 K indicated that the surface molecular structures of α-glycine formed a regular flexuous framework in the b axis direction. The strong temperature dependence is related to the reorientation of NH³⁺ group and the electron spin flip-flop of (N⁺H) mode. Under the opposite external magnetic field of 1 T and −1 T, the electron spins of N⁺(3)−H(8)···O(1) and N⁺(3)−H(8)···O(2) flip-flop at 301−302 K. These results suggested a mechanism of the magnetoelectric effect based on the dynamical spin chirality of (N⁺H), which induced the electric polarization to produce the onset of pyroelectricity of α-glycine around 304 K.

Investigations of the Mechanism of the “Proline Effect” in Tandem Mass Spectrometry Experiments: The “Pipecolic Acid Effect”

The fragmentation behavior of a set of model peptides containing proline, its four-membered ring analog azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (Aze), its six-membered ring analog pipecolic acid (Pip), an acyclic secondary amine residue N-methyl-alanine (NMeA), and the D stereoisomers of Pro and Pip has been determined using collision-induced dissociation in ESI-tandem mass spectrometers. Experimental results for AAXAA, AVXLG, AAAXA, AGXGA, and AXPAA peptides are presented, where X represents Pro, Aze, Pip, or NMeA. Aze- and Pro-containing peptides fragment according to the well-established “proline effect” through selective cleavage of the amide bond N-terminal to the Aze/Pro residue to give y_n ⁺ ions. In contrast, Pip- and NMA-fragment through a different mechanism, the “pipecolic acid effect,” selectively at the amide bond C-terminal to the Pip/NMA residue to give b_n ⁺ ions. Calculations of the relative basicities of various sites in model peptide molecules containing Aze, Pro, Pip, or NMeA indicate that whereas the “proline effect’ can in part be rationalized by the increased basicity of the prolyl-amide site, the “pipecolic acid effect” cannot be justified through the basicity of the residue. Rather, the increased flexibility of the Pip and NMeA residues allow for conformations of the peptide for which transfer of the mobile proton to the amide site C-terminal to the Pip/NMeA becomes energetically favorable. This argument is supported by the differing results obtained for AAPAA versus AA(D-Pro)AA, a result that can best be explained by steric effects. Fragmentation of pentapeptides containing both Pro and Pip indicate that the “pipecolic acid effect” is stronger than the “proline effect.” Figure

Effect of alkanolamines on properties of epoxy–anhydride compounds

Hot-cured epoxy compound based on ED-20 resin and isomethyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride was modified with alkanolamines of different structures. The influence exerted by the structure of alkanolamines on the structure and operation characteristics of modified epoxy–anhydride compounds was examined. Introduction of alkanolamines decreases the gel and cure times and enhances the operation properties of cured epoxy–anhydride compounds. The best products were obtained with alkanolamines derived from ethylenediamine. Their introduction into epoxy–anhydride compounds enhances by a factor of 1.5–2 the elasticity, tensile strength at uniform extension, and impact resilience of the cured formulations.
