Macroporous Morphology of the Titania Films Prepared by a Sol-Gel Dip-Coating Method from the System Containing Poly(Ethylene Glycol). III. Effect of Chemical Additives

The variation of macroporous morphology has been studied for the titania (TIO₂) films prepared by a sol-gel dip-coating method from the system containing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) under the addition of various types of organic solvents. The influence of externally-added solvent is interpreted by considering the compatibility between PEG and the solvent mixture, the volatility of the solvent mixture, and the polycondensation rate of titania oligomers. The macroscopic domain formation is remarkable when the compatibility between the solvent mixture and PEG is relatively poor and the boiling point of external solvent is relatively low.     

In vitro bioassays for the study of endocrine-disrupting food additives and contaminants

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are capable of interfering with normal hormone homeostasis by acting on several targets and through a wide variety of mechanisms. Unwanted exposure to EDCs can lead to a wide spectrum of adverse health effects, especially when exposure is during critical windows of development. Feed and food are considered to be among the main routes of inadvertent exposure to EDCs, so there is an important need for efficient detection of EDCs in these matrices.We describe in vitro bioassays that can complement current analytical chemistry in order to detect unwanted EDCs and describe their action, emphasizing assays that can measure effects on nuclear receptor signaling or hormone production. We outline both validated and unvalidated in vitro assays currently available in the scientific community for detecting and studying the effects of EDCs, and discuss their possible role in the food-safety context. We conclude by identifying gaps in the current battery of in vitro assays available for EDCs and suggest future possibilities for development and validation.

Efficient syntheses of zoledronic acid as an active ingredient of a drug against osteoporosis

The reaction of 1H-imidazol-1-ylacetic acid and two equivalents of phosphorus trichloride/phosphorous acid at 75?°C in sulfolane, or in the presence of catalytic amounts of [bmim][BF₄] afforded zoledronic acid in yields up to 75%. The joint use of the ionic liquid additive and sulfolane as the solvent was synergetic affording highly valuable zoledronic acid in a record yield of 93%.

Ultrafast X‐ray imaging of laser–metal additive manufacturing processes

The high‐speed synchrotron X‐ray imaging technique was synchronized with a custom‐built laser‐melting setup to capture the dynamics of laser powder‐bed fusion processes in situ. Various significant phenomena, including vapor‐depression and melt‐pool dynamics and powder‐spatter ejection, were captured with high spatial and temporal resolution. Imaging frame rates of up to 10 MHz were used to capture the rapid changes in these highly dynamic phenomena. At the same time, relatively slow frame rates were employed to capture large‐scale changes during the process. This experimental platform will be vital in the further understanding of laser additive manufacturing processes and will be particularly helpful in guiding efforts to reduce or eliminate microstructural defects in additively manufactured parts.     

水合物反应液中水活度系数模型研究进展

水合物反应液中水活度系数的计算对水合物相平衡特性的研究及水合物技术的应用具有重要意义。 通过调研大量的国内外资料,概括了Margules、Wilson、NRTL、UNIQUAC及UNIFAC活度系数方程及其关联式等模型及其应用,结果表明,Margules模型常用于二元体系活度系数的计算,但对高温高压体系条件下的溶液适用性较差;Wilson模型参数回归误差稍大且不适于溶质与离子不能完全互溶体系;UNIQUAC模型在含水或咪唑类离子反应液体系中误差较大;多元离子体系相平衡的研究中常选择NRTL模型;UNIFAC模型拟合效果较好,可实现较高浓度体系活度系数的精确计算,应用较广泛。 水活度关联方程参数拟合效果好,且准确度高,但在高温高压水合物反应液体系中的计算仍是一个技术难点,是今后的研究方向。
