Improvement of hydrothermal stability and chrome uptake of leather: Amino-terminated hyper-branched polymer as high exhausted tanning auxiliary

Carboxyl-terminated hyper-branched polyester is extensively used as high exhaustion chrome tanning auxiliary owing to its strong coordination ability with trivalent chrome. Owing to lower electronegativity of N than O, the coordination ability with trivalent chrome for hyper-branched polyamide is stronger than polyester. Herein, in this paper, an amino-terminated hyper-branched polyamide (HBPN) is synthesized and used as high exhaustion chrome in tanning of pickling pigskin (HBPN–Cr). The effects of utilization of HBPN in denaturation temperature, shrinkage temperature, chrome uptake, and microstructure structure of wet-blue leather are studied. Moreover, the anti-oxidation stability of wet-blue leather is preliminary studied by heat treatment. The results show that incorporation of 1% HBPN in pickling process can significantly improve chrome uptake to 83.32%. The hydrothermal stability of wet-blue leather is improved due to the formation of higher crosslinking degree of collagen fibers. In addition, for the wet-blue leather without unsaturated fatliquoring agent, through heat treatment, hexavalent chrome does not appear after 24 ​h heat treatment. On the contrary, the chrome complex changes from hydroxyl copolymerization to more stable oxygen copolymerization or chrome oxide for C–Cr and HBPN-Cr tanned leather, respectively. These results will build a data support for the further study of hyper-branched polymer chrome tanning auxiliaries.

Optical and chromaticity characteristics of the solutions of analytical forms of sulfate,formate, and acetate of chrome(III)

Conditions of formation and the absorption spectra of chrome(III) solutions, obtained by the reduction of chrome(VI) with sodium sulfite, ascorbic acid, or hydrogen peroxide, were studied. The solutions have a maximum absorption at 410–420 and 560–580 nm, and molar absorption coefficients from 17 to 80. The chromaticity functions of these forms of chrome(VI) were studied and it was shown, that they are higher in the order of 1–1.5 than molar absorption coefficients. The yellowness is maximal in all cases.     

Catalytic Kinetic Determination of Trace Amounts of Copper with Polarographic Detection

Abstract

This method is based on the catalytic effect of copper(II) on the redox reaction between acid chrome dark blue and ascorbic acid in acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution and 1,10-phenanthroline as an activator. Acid chrome dark blue exhibits a sensitive polarographic wave at -0.375V Vs. SCE and change of acid chrome dark blue concentration is traced by a polarographic detection technique. The detection limit and the linear range of copper(II) are 2.34ng/ml and 5 to 50ng/ml respectively. This new catalytic method has been applied to the determination of copper in human hair, with satisfactory results.

Tribological evaluation of HVOF thermal‐spray coatings as a hard chrome replacement

Hard chrome plating has been used in several different applications in industries that require abrasive sliding wear resistance, such as hydraulic pistons, shafts or bearings. However, the increasing environmental and worker safety pressures on electrolytic hard chrome are leading companies to adopt alternatives. The improvements of the high‐velocity‐oxy‐fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process allow the chromium coating replacement with a comparable or superior surface treatment and are more environmentally friendly. This HVOF process, as a flexible dry‐coating technology, avoids high‐volume waste streams and enables a flexible choice of coating material for each application. The cobalt–chromium‐cemented tungsten carbides are some of the easiest materials to spray and the WC‐10Co‐4Cr coatings have demonstrated superior performance over hard chrome with regard to mechanical and tribological properties. In this work, this coating has been deposited with a Sulzer Metco WokaJet‐400 kerosene fuel spray gun, and the spray conditions have been optimized in order to ensure the best properties of the coatings. The mechanical and tribological properties have been evaluated in coatings sprayed with four deposition conditions that involve different gas flow rates. The most wear‐resistant coating is obtained with those HVOF parameters that prevent decarburization of WC particles and, at the same time, allow an adequate agglomerate melting giving a good intersplat adhesion. The results indicate that HVOF‐sprayed WC‐CoCr coatings are a reliable alternative to electrolytic hard chrome (EHC) in the aeronautical industry to coat landing gear components. In particular, in the dry wear tests, the WC‐CoCr coatings outperform hard chrome coatings in wear resistance. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Influence of containing moisture on hydrothermal stability of modified collagen thermal characteristics analysis by DSC

The thermal stability of sheepskin collagen cross-linked with chrome sulfate and mimosa (MI)–oxazolidine (OZ), respectively, had been researched in this experiment. All samples’ shrinkage temperatures (T _s) are determined by a special T _s-testing-apparatus and denaturation temperatures (T _d) are determined by the differential scanning calorimetry. The relations between the modified collagens containing moisture and their hydrothermal stability, T _s or T _d, were studied. The results show that the cross linking agents can enhance the thermal stability of modified collagen whose T _s are 109.8 and 110.6 °C for collagen treated with chrome and MI–OZ, respectively. When the samples contain 25–71.9% moisture for chrome leather and 20–71.1% for leather treated with MI–OZ, the hydrothermal stability will decrease with the increase of moisture. It was found that the difference between T _s and T _d of collagen modified by chrome is more obvious than that of collagen modified with MI–OZ. And when the moisture of chrome leather exceeds 55%, T _d cannot express thermal stability of modified collagen as a substitute for T _s, and the moisture is 40% for leather tanned with MI–OZ.     

Evidence for Degradation of the Chrome Yellows in Van Gogh’s Sunflowers: A Study Using Noninvasive In Situ Methods and Synchrotron‐Radiation‐Based X‐ray Techniques

This paper presents firm evidence for the chemical alteration of chrome yellow pigments in Van Gogh’s Sunflowers (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam). Noninvasive in situ spectroscopic analysis at several spots on the painting, combined with synchrotron‐radiation‐based X‐ray investigations of two microsamples, revealed the presence of different types of chrome yellow used by Van Gogh, including the lightfast PbCrO₄ and the sulfur‐rich PbCr_1?xS_xO₄ (x≈0.5) variety that is known for its high propensity to undergo photoinduced reduction. The products of this degradation process, i.e., Cr^III compounds, were found at the interface between the paint and the varnish. Selected locations of the painting with the highest risk of color modification by chemical deterioration of chrome yellow are identified, thus calling for careful monitoring in the future.     

The effect of photomask resolution on separation efficiency on microfabricated devices

Separation quality on glass microfluidic devices fabricated from photomasks of different optical resolutions was compared by measuring the dispersion (apparent diffusion) coefficients of a set of standard compounds separated on these devices. Currently, the channel manifolds of most microfluidic devices are patterned using chrome photomasks. A much cheaper, more robust alternative to chrome photomasks are laser photoplotted masks. The primary disadvantage to using laser photoplots is that the optical resolution of these masks is not as high as that of chrome masks, and this feature increases the side-wall roughness of etched channel manifolds patterned using such masks. The increased wall roughness may affect the fluid flow within the channels and, therefore, the separation quality. To determine the effect of increased sidewall channel roughness, microchip channel manifolds were patterned in soda lime glass using a chrome photomask and laser photoplots printed at resolutions of 620, 1240, 3100 and 6200 dots per centimetre (dpc). Separations were performed on these devices using dilute solutions of fluorescently labeled amino acids. The peak variances of the amino acids were calculated at increasing distances down the separation channel and plotted as a function of migration time. From this plot, dispersion coefficients of the analytes were measured. This allowed for a reliable, relatively easy, direct separation analysis among microchips fabricated from the various photomasks. After multiple separations using microchips fabricated from each resolution mask, we found that the change in sidewall surface roughness did not significantly affect the dispersion coefficients measured, and thus the separation quality. The lower mask resolution limit, rather, was governed by the fidelity to which the mask could capture the original CAD design.     

Raman fibre optic approach to artwork dating

Raman micro-probe spectroscopy has been applied to the analysis of a non catalogued hand-crafted wallpaper during its restoration process. The analysis has been totally non-destructive without the necessity of taking any sample. The artwork showed a great chromatic palette having been detected the presence of calcium carbonate, Prussian blue, ultramarine blue, gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O), minium (Pb3O4), vermilion (HgS), chrome orange (CaCO3), chrome yellow (PbCrO4), barium sulphate and carbon black (C). From the spectroscopic analysis the date of its manufacturing has been set between 1828 and 1830, introduction of chrome yellow and orange, as well as artificial ultramarine blue, and 1840, when continuous industrial wallpapers were extensively manufactured in Europe.     

Effects of added metal ions on the interaction between polyvinylpyrrolidone and azo dyes carrying hydroxyl groups

The extent of binding of chrome violet, which is a monoazo dye and involves two hydroxyl groups in o and o′ positions to azo group, by polyvinylpyrrolidone is markedly enhanced in the presence of Co²⁺ ion. The amount of binding in the presence of 1 × 10^?4 mol/L of Co²⁺ ion increases by a factor of about 10 compared to that in the absence of the metal ion. Ni²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions do not perceptively influence the binding affinity of the dye. Cu²⁺ ion, in contrast, suppresses the binding. To investigate further the action of added metal ions, a cobalt–complex dye was prepared and its binding property for the polymer was compared to that of chrome violet in the presence of metal ions. Some possible mechanisms for the enhancement of chrome violet binding by the addition of Co²⁺ ion are described.
