This study focused on the fabrication of poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) nanocomposites with various concentrations of cerium-doped titanium dioxide (Ce–TiO2) nanoparticles via in situ polymerization technique. The structural characterization and the material properties of all the composites were analyzed by UV–visible, FTIR, XRD, SEM, DSC, TG, and tensile strength measurements. The UV–visible and FTIR studies confirmed the effective inclusion of Ce–TiO2 nanoparticles into the PBMA matrix. The change in amorphous morphology of PBMA to a crystalline structure was observed from the XRD pattern. The SEM morphology revealed the attachment of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix. The inclusion of Ce–TiO2 nanoparticles enhanced the glass transition temperature, and thermal stability of the PBMA matrix was revealed from DSC and TG, respectively. The tensile strength of PBMA was greatly enhanced by the addition of Ce–TiO2 nanoparticles. The AC conductivity, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss studies were also performed in the frequency range 102–106 Hz, and it was observed that addition of Ce–TiO2 nanoparticles greatly enhanced the electrical properties of PBMA. The change in dielectric constant with the addition of nanoparticles was correlated with a theoretical modeling study. This work also extended to study the role of Ce–TiO2 nanoparticles in the reinforcing mechanism of the nanocomposite by comparing the actual tensile strength of the composite with different theoretical modeling. The high dielectric constant and tensile strength of composite are beneficial in designing lightweight and highly efficient nanoelectronic materials based on the family of polybutyl acrylates.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), a frequently used immunosuppressant, exhibits large inter‐patient pharmacokinetic variability. This study (a) developed and validated a sensitive liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) assay for MPA and metabolites [MPA glucuronide (MPAG) and acyl‐glucuronide (AcMPAG)] in the culture medium of HepaRG cells; and (b) characterized the metabolism interaction between MPA and p‐cresol (a common uremic toxin) in this in vitro model as a potential mechanism of pharmacokinetic variability. Chromatographic separation was achieved with a C18 column (4.6 × 250 mm,5 μm) using a gradient elution with water and methanol (with 0.1% formic acid and 2 mm ammonium acetate). A dual ion source ionization mode with positive multiple reaction monitoring was utilized. Multiple reaction monitoring mass transitions (m/z) were: MPA (320.95 → 207.05), MPAG (514.10 → 303.20) and AcMPAG (514.10 → 207.05). MPA‐d3 (323.95 → 210.15) and MPAG‐d3 (517.00 → 306.10) were utilized as internal standards. The calibration curves were linear from 0.00467 to 3.2 μg/mL for MPA/MPAG and from 0.00467 to 0.1 μg/mL for AcMPAG. The assay was validated based on industry standards. p‐Cresol inhibited MPA glucuronidation (IC50 ≈ 55 μm ) and increased MPA concentration (up to >2‐fold) at physiologically relevant substrate‐inhibitor concentrations (n = 3). Our findings suggested that fluctuations in p‐cresol concentrations might be in part responsible for the large pharmacokinetic variability observed for MPA in the clinic. 相似文献
We consider the problem of sending a message from a sender to a receiver through an unreliable network by specifying in a protocol what each vertex is supposed to do if it receives the message from one of its neighbors. A protocol for routing a message in such a graph is finite if it never floods with an infinite number of copies of the message. The expected reliability of a given protocol is the probability that a message sent from reaches when the edges of the network fail independently with probability .We discuss, for given networks, the properties of finite protocols with maximum expected reliability in the case when is close to 0 or 1, and we describe networks for which no one protocol is optimal for all values of . In general, finding an optimal protocol for a given network and fixed probability is challenging and many open problems remain. 相似文献
A series of new tetrakis(dialkoxyphenyl) dicyanotetraoxapentacene derivatives ( 1 a – c ) were prepared by reaction of the appropriate terphenyl diols with tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile in good yields. Compounds 1 b and 1 c , which bear hexyloxy and decyloxy side chains, exhibited columnar hexagonal mesophases, as shown by polarized optical microscopy, variable-temperature powder X-ray diffraction, and differential scanning calorimetry. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction of methoxy-substituted 1 a revealed that the dicyanotetraoxapentacene core is highly planar, consistent with the notion that these molecules are able to stack in columnar mesophases. A detailed photophysical characterization showed that these compounds exhibit aggregation-induced emission in solution, emission in nonpolar solvents, weak emission in polar solvents, and strong emission in the solid state both as powder and in thin films. These observations are consistent with a weakly emissive charge-transfer state in polar solvents and a more highly emissive locally excited state in nonpolar solvents. 相似文献
A self-assembled Fe4L6 cage complex internally decorated with acid functions is capable of accelerating the thioetherification of activated alcohols, ethers and amines by up to 1000-fold. No product inhibition is seen, and effective supramolecular catalysis can occur with as little as 5 % cage. The substrates are bound in the host with up to micromolar affinities, whereas the products show binding that is an order of magnitude weaker. Most importantly, the cage host alters the molecularity of the reaction: whereas the reaction catalyzed by simple acids is a unimolecular, SN1-type substitution process, the rate of the host-mediated process is dependent on the concentration of nucleophile. The molecularity of the cage-catalyzed reaction is substrate-dependent, and can be up to bimolecular. In addition, the catalysis can be prevented by a large excess of nucleophile, where substrate inhibition dominates, and the use of tritylated anilines as substrates causes a negative feedback loop, whereby the liberated product destroys the catalyst and stops the reaction. 相似文献
The hydrothermal treatment of sugars features a promising technology for the production of fine and platform chemicals from renewable resources. In this work the hydrothermal decomposition of fructose was studied in a buffered medium at a pH range between 2.2 and 8.0. It is demonstrated that at lower pH values mainly 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), levulinic acid and humin are generated, while lactic acid and acetic acid are produced at higher pH values. The work shows that the use of moderate acidic conditions may have advantages for the hydrothermal HMF production over the use of strongly acidic conditions, as especially the degradation into levulinic acid is suppressed. Besides, this study deals with a rather complex reaction network, hence limitations and need for adaption of the kinetic model are discussed. 相似文献
