Silica nanoparticles of various sizes have
been incorporated by melt compounding in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)
matrix to enhance its thermal and mechanical properties. In order to improve
nanoparticles dispersion, PMMA grafted particles have been prepared by atom
transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from well-defined silica nanoparticles.
This strategy was expected to ensure compatibility between both components
of the PMMA nanocomposites. TEM analysis have been performed to evaluate the
nanosilica dispersion whereas modified and non-modified silica/PMMA nanocomposites
thermal stability and mechanical properties have been investigated by both
thermogravimetric and dynamical mechanical analysis. 相似文献
The relativistic ground and low-lying excited state potential energy curves of AgH and AuH in the presence of a cylindrical
harmonic confining potential were calculated using the multi-state multi-reference perturbation theory with the spin-free
no-pair Hamiltonian obtained via the third-order Douglas–Kroll transformation, incorporated with the full two-electron Breit–Pauli
spin–orbit operator. The spectroscopic parameters were obtained for both the scalar- and quasi-relativistic potentials. The
spin–orbit coupling constants were calculated for several strengths of the confining potential, and the effects of the applied
potential on the coupling constants were analyzed using configuration interaction.

The boundary effect on the drag on two identical, nonuniformly structured flocs moving along the axis of a cylindrical tube
filled with a Newtonian fluid is investigated at a small to medium larger Reynolds number. A two-layer model is adopted to
simulate various possible structures of a floc, and the flow field inside is described by Darcy–Brinkman model. The results
of numerical simulation reveal that a convective flow is present in the rear region of a floc when Reynolds number is on the
order of 40. The presence of the tube wall and/or the porous structure of a floc has the effect of reducing that convective
flow. For a fixed level of the volume-average permeability of a floc, the influence of the tube wall on the drag depends upon
floc structure; the influence on a nonuniformly structured floc is more significant than that on a uniformly structured floc.
The more nonuniform the floc structure, the more appreciable the deviation of the drag coefficient–Reynolds number curve from
a Stokes’-law-like relation becomes. The smaller the volume-average permeability of a floc and/or the smaller the separation
distance between the two flocs, the greater is the deviation, but the presence of the tube wall has the effect of reducing
that deviation. 相似文献
The present paper deals with the speciation of selenium in potatoes (enriched or not in selenium). The study was carried out by using differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry (DPCSV) for quantifying selenium. Results obtained provide evidence that the selenium content in the protein fraction is rather independent from the selenium added to the plants during their growth. On the contrary, the amount of Se in the non-protein fraction (water and starch) in Se-enriched sample is significantly higher than in non-enriched one, suggesting that it is the main selenium-storing site. In this fraction the Se(VI)/Se(IV) ratio seems independent from selenium application but it may be related to the redox conditions. The accumulation of selenium in the non-protein fraction is tentatively ascribed to the “Se–starch interaction” that should be able to modulate both the Se absorption into proteins and, possibly, its toxic effect for the plant itself. 相似文献
The preparation of indigo from Indigofera suffruticosa following the procedures attributed to ancient Mayas was electrochemically monitored using the voltammetry-of-microparticles
approach. The mechanism formation of indigotin and indirubin from its precursors, indican and isatan, is discussed. Comparison
of voltammetric profiles for differently prepared and commercial indigos and genuine Maya Blue samples suggests that the preparation
procedure of indigo changed during the Late Classical Maya period.

Instrumental neutron activation analysis was used to assess the concentration of the inorganic trace elements in Korean women’s
blood serums. It was found that a high concentration of Na and Cl incurs an analytical interference, but the 12 elements such
as Br, Ca, Cl, Co, Cr, Cs, Fe, K, Na, Rb, Se and Zn could be determined under the condition of an interference minimization.
Serum samples collected from 63 women were analyzed and the concentration level and range of the elements were evaluated.
NIST SRMs were analyzed simultaneously for quality control. The average values of the Na and Cl determined in the serum samples
were 3,365 and 3,533 mg/l, Ca was 96.4 mg/l and K was 191 mg/l. Besides, Br, Se and Zn have a concentration level of 6.46,
0.13 and 0.98 mg/l, respectively. It was found that there is no significant difference between the present values and the
reported values. 相似文献
The polymer redox mediator, poly(neutral red) (PNR), has been synthesised and characterised electrochemically to investigate
the best electropolymerisation and mediation conditions for application in enzyme biosensors and to clarify the mechanism
of action. Neutral red was electropolymerised by potential cycling on carbon film electrode substrates by allowing the monomer
to be oxidised during the full 20 cycles of polymerisation or reducing the positive limit of the potential window after the
first 2 cycles to impede monomer oxidation with a view to obtaining longer polymer chains and a lesser degree of branching.
Comparison was made with glassy carbon substrates. The PNR films on carbon film electrodes were characterised using cyclic
voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, as well as in glucose biosensors prepared with PNR. Glucose oxidase
enzyme was immobilised by encapsulation in silica sol-gel and compared with that obtained by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde.
The biosensors were evaluated by chronoamperometry in 0.1 M phosphate buffer saline solution, pH 7.0, and showed evidence
of electron transfer between the enzyme cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide and PNR dissolved in the enzyme layer competing
with PNR-mediated electrochemical degradation of H2O2 formed during the enzymatic process.

In the present work, 11 different procedures for protein and metalloprotein extraction from horse chestnuts (Aescullus hippocastanum L.) in natura were tested. After each extraction, total protein was determined and, after protein separation through sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), those metals belonging to the protein structure were mapped by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SRXRF). After mapping the elements (Cr, Fe and Mn) in the protein bands (ca. 33 and 23.7 kDa), their concentrations were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry (ET AAS).
Good results were obtained for protein extraction using a combination of grinding and sonication. However, this strategy was not suitable to preserve metal ions in the protein structure. In fact, there was 42% decrease on Mn concentration using this procedure, compared to that performed with sample agitation in water (taken as reference). On the other hand, when grinding and agitation with an extracting buffer was used, there was a 530% increase of Mn concentration, when compared to the reference procedure.
These results indicate agreement between metal identification and determination in proteins as well as the great influence of the extraction procedure (i.e., the sample preparation step) for preserving metals in the protein structures. 相似文献
A number of disintegrants
are available on the market. They improve tablets’ disintegration. The
objective of this work is the comparison of the technological quality parameters
of disintegrants using different analytical techniques. Three batches of disintegrants
and their binary mixtures (water:disintegrants) were investigated. Cooling
experiments were used from –30 up to 200°C. The data obtained showed
calorimetric differences between the samples. In the binary mixtures water
showed different crystallization behaviour from the one found in the literature.
According to the results DSC technique helped the quality control of different
disintegrants. 相似文献
