Effect of Oxygen and Bacteria on the Property of Polymer Gel

The viscosity property of Cr~(3 ),Al~(3 ),and compound ion cross-linked polymer gel solution in the anaerobic and aerobic environment was investigated aiming at meeting the practical demand of the oil field.The viscosity reserving effect after adding the biocide and the gelation in the anaerobic and aerobic environments was also studied in the paper.The results indicate that the viscosity of the cross-linked polymer gel solution caused by the water produced in aerobic environment is higher than that in anaerobic environment,and that the viscosity value of the cross-linked polymer gel solutions after adding biocides has improved to some extent and polymer gel has gelated well in anaerobic environment.     

INTERMOLECULAR AND INTRAMOLECULAR INTERACTIONS OF POLYMER GUAR GUM IN SOLUTIONS

The tetrahedral borate ion can crosslink with polymer guar gum in aqueous solutions. If the concentration of guar gum is less than 0.045 g/dL, the intramolecular interaction between guar gum and borate ion increases due to the formation of crosslinks. As a result, the polymer chains of guar gum in solution shrink in size and the reduced viscosity of polymer solution decreases accordingly. On the other hand, if the concentration of guar gum is greater than 0.045 g/dL, the intermolecular interaction becomes apparent due to the same reason. The polymer chains, therefore, associate together and the reduced viscosity of polymer solution increases considerably. According to this technique, the critical concentration c^＊, presented by de-Gennes, is determined successfully.     

Preparation and characterization of pva based solid polymer electrolytes for electrochemical cell applications

Solid polymer electrolyte films containing poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and magnesium nitrate (Mg(NO3)2) were prepared by solution casting technique and characterized by using XRD, FTIR, DSC and AC impedance spectroscopic analysis. The amorphous nature of the polymer electrolyte films has been confirmed by XRD. The complex formation between PVA and Mg salt has been confirmed by FTIR. The glass transition temperature decreases with increasing the Mg salt concentration. The AC impedance studies are performed to evaluate the ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte films in the range of 303 383 K, and the temperature dependence seems to obey the Arrhenius behavior. Transport number measurements show that the charge transport is mainly due to ions. Electrochemical cell of configuration Mg/(PVA + Mg(NO3)2) (70:30)/(I2 + C + electrolyte) has been fabricated. The discharge characteristics of the cell were studied for a constant load of 100 kΩ.     

EFFECT OF ANIONIC SURFACTANT UPON THE VISCOSITY OF POLYMER GUAR GUM SOLUTIONS

The reduced viscosity of polymer guar gum solutions containing a certain concentration of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate （SDBS） was measured. It has been found that the Huggins coefficient kH of polymer solutions is very sensitive to the concentration of the surfactant, CSDBS, in solutions. If CSDBS is lower than CMC, the critical micelle concentration of SDBS, kH increases rapidly with CSDBS. On the other hand, if CSDBS is larger than CMC, kH decreases rapidly with CSDBS. Comparatively, the intrinsic viscosity of polymer solution does not show a notable change with CSDBS. The experimental results indicate that the interchain association of polymer guar gum in solution is greatly associated with SDBS interacted with polymer chains through hydrogen bonds. However, the effect of SDBS upon the intrachain association of polymer guar gum solution is negligible, presumably due to the fact that guar gum is a slightly stiffened random-coil chain polymer.     

VISCOMETRIC STUDY OF POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE) AND POLYSTYRENE BLENDS IN DIFFERENT SOLVENTS

The intermolecular interaction between poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) intetrahydrofuran (THF) and N,N'-dimethyl formamide (DMF) solvents was studied at 28℃ using a dilute solution viscometrymethod. Solvent is believed to play a key role in characterizing the viscosity behavior of the polymer solution. The intrinsicviscosity and viscosity interaction parameter were experimentally measured for the binary (solvent/polymer) and for theternary systems in two solvents. The compatibility of the polymer mixture was discussed in terms of the sign of △b_m. Theresults show that the compatibility of PMMA/PS blend in DMF is larger than that in THF.     

STUDIES ON TiCI4/Mg (OEt)_2/EB SUPPORTED CATALYSTS FOR PROPYLENE POLYMERIZATION

The supported catalysts for propylene polymerization were prepared by milling Mg (OEt)_2 with EB (ethylbenzoate) and treating with TiCl_4 solution. When TiCl_4/(Mg(OEt)_2/EB) (mol.) ratio was increased, decrease in contents of-OEt and Ti of the catalysts was observed, while the content of EB increased. It is proved by analyses of IR, X-ray and XPS that during co-milling Mg(OEt)_2 with EB no reactions have taken place. But after treatment with TiCl_4 solution, Mg(OEt)_2 converts into MgCl_2 and EB coordinates on the resulting MgCl_2 carrier, a surface complex forms.The activity of catalysts,isotacticity and vicosimetric molecular weight of polypropylene increase with the decrease of the content of ethoxyl group. The kinetic curves of propene polymerization obtained with present catalysts system display decay curves. It is found from the triad tacticity calculated from the expanded spectra of methyl carbon region that, ethoxyl group in catalyst has an effect on the configuration of polymer chain.

A NOVEL INTERPRETATION OF CONCENTRATION DEPENDENCE OF VISCOSITY OF DILUTE POLYMER SOLUTION*

The concentration dependence of the reduced viscosity of dilute polymer solution is interpreted in the light of anew concept of the self-association of polymer chains in dilute solution. The apparent self-association constant is defined asthe molar association constant divided by the molar mass of individual polymer chain and is numerically interconvertiblewith the Huggins coefficient. The molar association constant is directly proportional to the effective hydrodynamic volume ofthe polymer chain in solution and is irrespective of the chain architecture. The effective hydrodynamic volume accounts forthe non-spherical conformation of a short polymer chain in solution and is a product of a shape factor and hydrodynamicvolume. The observed enhancement of Huggins coefficient for short chain and branched polymer is satisfactorily interpretedby the concept of self-association. The concept of self-association allows us to predict the existence of a boundaryconcentration C_s (dynamic contact concentration) which divides the dilute polymer solution into two regions.     

Ab-initio Investigation on Ion-associated Species and Association Process in NaNO3 Solution

<正>Some ion-associated species existed possibly in NaNO_3 solution were investigated via the ab-initio method. The hydrated ion parings,triple and multiple ion clusters in NaNO_3 solution are all analogous to those in Mg(NO_3)_2 system except that the bi-dentate structures can not be formed.Only one solvent-shared ion paring has larger v_1-NO_3~- frequency than the hydrated NO_3~- ion.And all triple clusters with two hydrated Na~+ ions and one NO_3~- have larger v_1-NO_3~- frequency than the hydrated NO_3~- ion.The ion association process in NaNO_3 solution is predicted as free ions→solvent-separated ion pairings→solvent-shared ion pairings→solvent-shared triple ion clusters→contact triple ion clusters→contact multiple ion clusters→amorphous NaNO_3,which is not analogous to that in MgSO_4 but those in Mg(NO_3)_2 and Mg(ClO_4)_2 systems.

Decationization and dealumination of clinoptilolite tuff and ammonium exchange on acid-modified tuff

The paper presents results of investigation of exchange of the clinoptilolite tuff cations with hydrogen ions from HCl solution of concentration 0.1 mmol cm(-3) and ammonium ions solutions of concentrations 0.0071 to 2.6 mmol cm(-3). Molal concentrations, x (mmol g(-1)) of cations exchanged in acid solution and in ammonium ions solutions were compared with molal concentrations of cations obtained by determination of the cation-exchange capacity of clinoptilolite tuff. The obtained results show that at ammonium ion concentrations lower than 0.1 mmol cm(-3), with regard to exchange capacity for particular ions, best exchanged are Na+ ions, followed by Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions, while exchange of K+ ions is the poorest (Na+ > Mg2+ > Ca2+ > K+). At ammonium concentrations from 0.2 to 1 mmol cm(-3) the order is Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+. At concentrations higher than 1 mmol cm(-3) the order is Na+ > Ca2+ > K+ > Mg2+. The results are a consequence of the uptake of hydrogen ions by zeolite samples in ammonium ions solutions at concentrations lower than 1 mmol cm(-3) and indicate the importance of Mg2+ (besides Na+ ions) for the exchange between clinoptilolite cations and H+ ions, in contrast to K+ ions, whose participation in the reaction with H+ ions is the lowest. During decationization of the clinoptilolite in acid solution, best exchanged are Na+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ ions, while exchange of K+ ions is the poorest. Due to poor exchange of K+ and H+ ions and good exchange of Na+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ ions, it is to be assumed that preservation of stability of the clinoptilolite structure is caused by K+ ions present in the channel C. Clinoptilolite is dissolved in the clinoptilolite A and B channels where Na+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ ions are present. On the acid-modified clinoptilolite samples, exchange of ammonium ions is poorer than on natural zeolite. The longer the contact time of the zeolite and acid solution, the worse ammonium ions exchange. It can be assumed that H+ ions exchanged with zeolite cations are consumed for solution of aluminum in the clinoptilolite structure; therefore the concentration of H+ ions as exchangeable cations decreases. In the ammonium ion solution at a concentration of 0.0065 mmol cm(-3), from the acid-modified zeolite samples, Al3+ ions are exchanged best, followed by Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and K+ ions. Further to the results, it is to be assumed that exchangeable Al3+ ions available from clinoptilolite dissolution are best exchanged with H+ ions in acid solution.

Ionophoric properties of atropine: complexation and transport of Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions across a liquid membrane

The activity of atropine on the complexation and transport of Na(+), K(+), Mg(2+) and Ca(2+) ions across a liquid membrane was investigated using a spectrophotometric method. Atropine is a natural drug that blocks muscarinic receptors. It is a competitive antagonist of the action of acetylcholine and other muscarinic agonists. Atropine is shown to extract Na(+), K(+), Mg(2+) and Ca(2+) ions from an aqueous phase into an organic one with a preference for Ca(2+) ions. According to a kinetic study, divalent cations (Mg(2+) and Ca(2+)) are more rapidly transported than monovalent ones (Na(+) and K(+)). In both complexation and transport, the flux of the ions increases with the increase of atropine concentration. Atropine might act on the membrane permeability; its complexation and ionophoric properties shed new lights on its therapeutic properties.

Simulation of Ca2+ and Mg2+ solvation using polarizable atomic multipole potential

The alkaline earth metals calcium and magnesium are critically involved in many biomolecular processes. To understand the hydration thermodynamics of these ions, we have performed molecular dynamics simulations using a polarizable potential. Particle-mesh Ewald for point multipoles has been applied to the calculation of electrostatic interactions. The parameters in this model have been determined from an ab initio quantum mechanical calculation of dimer interactions between ions and water. Two methods for ion solvation free energy calculation, free energy perturbation, and the Bennett acceptance ratio have been compared. Both predict results consistent with other theoretical estimations while the Bennett approach leads to a much smaller statistical error. Based on the Born theory and the ion-oxygen radial distribution functions, we estimate the effective size of the ions in solution, concluding that K(+) > Na(+) congruent with Ca(2+) > Mg(2+). There appears to be much stronger perturbation in water structure, dynamics, and dipole moment around the divalent cations than the monovalent K(+) and Na(+). The average water coordination numbers for Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) are 7.3 and 6, respectively. The lifetime of water molecules in the first solvation shell of Mg(2+) is on the order of hundreds of picoseconds, in contrast to only few picoseconds for Ca(2+), K(+), or Na(+).     

Viscosity behavior of poly(glyceryl methacrylate) in the presence of borate and phenylboronate ions

The viscosity behavior of polyelectrolyte solutions induced by borate or phenylboronate complexation with poly(glyceryl methacrylate) (PGM) has been investigated. In dilute solutions borate ions can form monodiol (1/1) complexes and didiol (2/1) intramolecular complexes. Both types of complex are anionic. Thus, the polymer is characterized by the existence of charged sites on the chain and loops formed by intramolecular complexation. On the contrary, phenylboronate can only give monodiol 1/1 complexes. In the presence of passive salt, the charges are screened. By addition of borate ion to a PGM solution, a decrease of the initial polymer viscosity due to loop formation is first observed, then the anionic charges fixed on the chain by complex formation induce an expansion of the polyelectrolyte and the viscosity of the solution increases. The situation is different for the PGM-phenyl boronate system, where no intramolecular crosslink is present. In this case the viscosity of the solution increases with phenyl boronate concentration. But for a fixed complexing ion concentration it will tend to that of the neutral polymer when NaCl is added. ©1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Role of Mg2+ and Ca2+ in DNA bending: evidence from an ONIOM-based QM-MM study of a DNA fragment

The binding of hydrated Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions with a DNA fragment containing two phosphate groups, three sugar units, and a G.C base pair is modeled in the anion and dianion states using a three-layer ONIOM approach. A monodentate binding mode was the most stable structure observed for both the ions in the anion model. However, the interactions of Mg2+ and Ca2+ with the dianion model of the DNA fragment gave rise to a large structural deformation at the base pair region, leading to the formation of "ring" structures. In both anion and dianion models, Mg2+-bound structures were considerably more stable than the corresponding Ca2+-bound structures. This feature and the formation of ring structures in the dianion models strongly supported the higher coordination power of the Mg2+ toward DNA systems for its compaction. The charge of the DNA fragment appeared to be crucial in deciding the binding strength as well as the binding mechanism of the metal ions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first theoretical investigation of the interaction of a comparatively larger DNA model system with the biologically important Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions.
