Electrical Properties of Polycrystalline Lithium Chloroboracite Prepared by the Sol-Gel Method

The electrical properties of polycrystalline lithium chloroboracite, Li4B7O12Cl, prepared by the sol-gel method were investigated in connection with their structure. Li4B7O12Cl pellets were prepared with different amounts of hydrochloric acid or ammonium chloride. The kind and amount of the chlorine source affected the formation of by-products (Li2B4O7, LiCl, a glass phase) and the morphology of the Li4B7O12Cl pellets. Thus their conductivity, which is dominated by grain boundary response owing to the high porosity of the materials, was also affected. The formation of Li2B4O7 as a by-product led to a higher activation energy and lower conductivity. In those pellets in which Li2B4O7 did form, an increase of the amount of glass phase led to higher conductivities.     

Label-Free Impedance Biosensors: Opportunities and Challenges

Impedance biosensors are a class of electrical biosensors that show promise for point-of-care and other applications due to low cost, ease of miniaturization, and label-free operation. Unlabeled DNA and protein targets can be detected by monitoring changes in surface impedance when a target molecule binds to an immobilized probe. The affinity capture step leads to challenges shared by all label-free affinity biosensors; these challenges are discussed along with others unique to impedance readout. Various possible mechanisms for impedance change upon target binding are discussed. We critically summarize accomplishments of past label-free impedance biosensors and identify areas for future research.     

Variable Mott-Schottky plots acquisition by potentiodynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

Potentiodynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy provides extraction of potential-dependent space charge layer capacitance from potentiodynamic impedance spectra of non-stationary semiconductor–electrolyte interface. The new technique has been applied for acquisition of Mott-Schottky plots of cathodically treated TiO₂ anodic films. Cathodic treatment in 1 M H₂SO₄ increases donor density and flat band potential of TiO₂. Freshly doped films show hysteresis in the space charge layer capacitance in cyclic potential scans. The subsequent cycling eliminates the hysteresis but preserves the greater part of the doping effect. Presented at the 4th Baltic Conference on Electrochemistry, Greifswald, 13–16 March 2005

结晶聚合物的辐射效应：多官能团单体对LDPE的结晶成核作用

根据x射线、电镜、DSC和凝胶分数的测试结果,讨论了多官能团单体结构对低密度聚乙烯聚集态结构的影响以及结晶度与辐射交联(或剂量)的关系。发现由于单体的存在导致低密度聚乙烯结晶度增加而结晶尺寸变小(即结晶成核效应);成核效应越大,增强辐射交联的效果也越大。添加具有高结晶成核作用的单体有利于低密度聚乙烯的辐射交联,同时也加速其结晶结构的破坏。     

Studies on the disposable obstetrical dressings sterilized by radiation and the effect of its application

In order to attain an optimum sterilization treatment to obstetric dressings, a new product made by us, with ⁶⁰Coγ-ray, the effects of radiation on standard bacteria pseudomonas aeruginosa ATcc27853, Escherichia coli ATcc25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATcc25923, Clostridium PB6KA, short Bacillus E60163202 and HBSAg were studied.

Poly(n-vinylpyrrolidone) hydrogels: 2.Hydrogel composites as wound dressing for tropical environment

POLY(N-VINYLPYRROLIDONE) HYDROGELS: 2. HYDROGEL COMPOSITES AS WOUND DRESSING FOR TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT. The effects of irradiation on hydration and other properties of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) hydrogel composites have been investigated. The aqueous solution of vinylpyrrolidone (VP) 10 wt % was mixed with several additives such as agar and polyethylen glycol (PEG). The solution was then irradiated with gamma rays from Cobalt-60 source at room temperature. Several parameters such as elongation at break (EB), tensile strength (TS), degree of swelling (DS), water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), equilibrium water content (EWC), microbial growth and penetration test, and water activity (Aw) were analysed at room temperature of 29 ±2°C humidity of 80 ± 10%. Results show that elongation at break of hydrogel membranes with initial composition of VP with agar, VP with agar and PEG were 240 % and 250 % kGy, the equilibrium water content of membranes were 96 to 90%, whereas degree of swelling were 55 to 10. The WVTR of hydrogel membranes with initial composition of VP with agar and PEG was 70 g m^-2h^-1, while the water activity was 0.9. Such hydrogel membranes exhibits the following properties: They are elastic, transparent, flexible, impermeable for bacteria. They absopt a high capacity of water, attached to healthy skin but not to the wound and they are easy to remove. These properties of the hydrogel membranes allow for applying as a wound dressings in tropical environment.

Radiation-induced crosslinking and grafting of two polyphosphazene elastomers

The radiation-induced crosslinking and grafting of two aryloxy-substituted elastomeric polyphosphazenes have been carried out by both gamma and electron beam irradiation. The classic Charlesby–Pinner [1] plus a simpler approach were used to determine the G(X) values for the crosslinked elastomeric polymers. The apparent G(X) value for the same polymer depended on whether the gamma-ray or the E-beam results were used. The presence of 8.5% repeat units with allylic groups in the side chain increased the G(X) value by an order of magnitude when the irradiation was performed under vacuum with the gamma source. The extent of acrylic acid grafting was also higher for the polymer containing the allylic group. Nearly all the grafted polyphosphazene films were insoluble in THF, a good solvent for the ungrafted samples.
