Relating foam lamella stability and surface dilational rheology 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The surface dilational elasticity module E of a soluble cationic surfactant at the air-water interface is measured in a frequency range of 1-500 Hz. The data are then correlated with the lifetime of a foam lamella formed with the same surfactant solution. The surface rheological measurement have been performed with an improved design of the oscillating bubble technique that measures precisely the real and imaginary part of the complex dilational module E. The imaginary part captures a dissipative process which is interpreted as an intrinsic surface dilational viscosity kappa. The cationic surfactant 1-dodecyl-4-dimethylaminopyridinium bromide shows a transition between a surface elastic to a viscoelastic behavior with an increase of the bulk concentration. The transition corresponds to a striking increase in the lifetime of the foam lamella. The lamella lifetime of the viscoelastic system exceeds the one of an elastic system by 2 orders of magnitude while the absolute value of the E module remains comparable. The results suggest that surface dilational viscosity kappa is crucial for the ability of a surfactant system to form a stable foam. A simple picture that explains this observation is discussed. 相似文献

The synthesis of a biospecific adsorbent for trypsin was chosen as a model to investigate the applicability of FCP activation in affinity chromatography.p-Aminobenzamidine was chosen as a ligand, directly suitable for immobilization. The nonspecific binding properties of the first series of synthesized agarose derivatives were obviated either by FCP activation of the ligand instead of the matrix, or by modifying the initial FCP-activation procedure. The adsorbents prepared in this way, however, demonstrated no selectivity between trypsin and chymotrypsin. The introduction ofe-aminocaproic acid as a spacer was ineffectual. These problems were solved by the application of glycylglycine as a spacer. The final affinity matrices had a degree of substitution of approximately 4 μ.mol of ligand per gram gel (100 μmol ligand per gram dry adsorbent). The specific activity of a current trypsin preparation was increased by 58% in a single cycle. The biospecificity of these adsorbents was demonstrated. 相似文献

A high-temperature pulsed slit nozzle, consisting of a circular pulsed nozzle and an interface to convert a circular flow into a slit flow has been constructed. The absorption spectrum is measured by scanning the wavelength of the monochromator equipped with a xenon arc lamp and by detecting the transmitted light through a jet with a photomultiplier. A rotationally cooled spectrum is clearly observed for aniline only when a long slit nozzle is employed. The absorptivity increases proportionally to the slit length at least up to 6 cm. The time for recording a spectrum is 3.5 min, which is reduced to several seconds by transmitting a white light through a jet and by measuring the spectrum with an optical multichannel analyzer. The detection limit is estimated to a partial vapor pressure of 0.4 torr for aniline. The present system can be conveniently used in routine analysis, because of a wide spectral coverage of the lamp source. 相似文献

The mechanism of the transition from a lamellar phase to a gyroid phase in an aqueous solution of a diblock copolymer has been studied by time-resolved synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering. The transition occurs via a metastable perforated lamellar structure. The perforations initially have liquidlike ordering before developing hexagonal packing. The transient phase of irregularly perforated layers is revealed by the development of diffuse scattering peaks, just below the Bragg peaks of the lamellar structure. The diffuse scattering is modeled by Monte Carlo simulations of perforated layers. Following the formation of perforations, Bragg peaks characteristic of a hexagonal structure signal an ordering into a hexagonal lattice (with the concomitant loss of diffuse scattering). Computer simulations based on a dynamic density functional model reproduce these features. The hexagonal perforated lamellar phase is rapidly replaced by the gyroid phase. The domain spacing of the gyroid phase is larger than that of the perforated lamellar structure. The perforated lamellar and gyroid phases coexist for a defined period. The reverse transition from gyroid to lamellae occurs directly, with no transient or metastable intermediates. 相似文献

The paper demonstrates a technique for applying an oriented nickel network to a glass surface. The method is based on the chemical reduction of nickel salt. The shaping and orientation of the resulting system are carried out using a micellar template of a surfactant and a magnetic field. Submicron nickel fibres are used to impart unity to the plurality of individual-oriented nickel nanonetworks. The result is a single conductive coating on the surface of the glass, which has a transparency in the optical range. Investigations of the structure, chemical composition, morphology and electrical conductivity of the coating were performed. 相似文献

We present a new method of measuring the electrophoretic mobility of a particle in a concentrated suspension. The method is used to measure the electrophoretic mobility of PMMA particles (diameter 10 microm) suspended in a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons. The particle volume fraction of the suspension is varied from 0 up to 0.30 and the resulting variation of the electrophoretic mobility is discussed. The suspending liquid is such that its refractive index is very close to that of the particles. Thus the suspension is almost transparent and it is possible to follow through a microscope the motion of one particle. The suspension is subjected to a low-frequency electric field (0.5 Hz). The cell containing the suspension is mounted on a piezoelectric crystal. The displacement that compensates for the particle motion (when the particle image is steady) is determined. 相似文献

The electrorotation of symmetrical doublets was calculated in the dipole approximation as a function of the polarizability of the single spherical constituents and as a function of their distance. The result was that a doublet in parallel orientation to the electric field plane undergoes a shift of the first characteristic frequency towards higher frequencies. The second characteristic was shifted towards lower frequencies. The opposite is true for a perpendicular orientation. The theoretical predictions were confirmed with red cells and pollen. The electrical interaction was larger than theoretically possible in the dipole approximation. 相似文献

The first successful example of the catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction of 1-methoxy-3-trimethylsiloxy-1,3-diene (Danishefsky's diene, 2a), giving the corresponding carbocyclic adducts, is described. The reaction of (Z)-ethylideneacetoacetate 1a with 2a is catalyzed with lanthanide salts such as Yb(OTf)(3) at 0 degrees C, affording the corresponding 2-cyclohexenone 3a in good yield with complete integrity of the starting geometry of 1a. The thermal version of the same cycloaddition results in a decrease in the cis arrangement of the 5-methyl and the 4-alkoxycarbonyl groups on 2-cyclohexenone. The catalyzed reaction of (E)-1a unexpectedly affords the cis-arranged 3a. The reaction path for the catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction is postulated on the basis of these results. 相似文献

This paper describes a novel approach for the surface modification of a cation-exchange membrane, bearing sulfonate groups, by a cationic layer. The modification procedure involved the chlorosulfonation of the sulfonate groups of the base membrane with thionyl chloride, followed by a reaction with a diamine to yield a sulfonamide bond and a terminal amine. The latter could be quaternized by reaction with methyl iodide or protonated by soaking in acidic media. The membranes were characterized in detail by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies as well as elemental analysis to confirm that the above reactions occurred. The selectivity of these membranes toward the electrochemically assisted transport of protons versus Zn2+ metallic cations was determined during an electrodialysis in a two-compartment electrochemical cell. The data indicate a significant decrease of the transport of the metallic cations following modification of the membrane with the cationic layer. The later allows for the transport of protons from the catholyte to the anolyte compartment with much improved selectivity since the divalent cations are excluded from the membrane due to the electrostatic barrier of the cationic layer. 相似文献

Histidine phosphatases are a class of enzymes that are characterized by the presence of a conserved RHGXRXP motif. This motif contains a catalytic histidine that is being phosphorylated in the course of a dephosphorylation reaction catalyzed by these enzymes. Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) is one such enzyme. The dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosine by PAP is a two-step process. The first step involves the transfer of a phosphate group from the substrate to the histidine (His12). The present study reports on the details of the first step of this reaction, which was investigated using a series of quantum chemistry calculations. A number of quantum models were constructed containing various residues that were thought to play a role in the mechanism. In all these models, the transition state displayed an associative character. The transition state is stabilized by three active site arginines (Arg11, Arg15, and Arg79), two of which belong to the aforementioned conserved motif. The work also demonstrated that His12 could act as a nucleophile. The enzyme is further characterized by a His257-Asp258 motif. The role of Asp258 has been elusive. In this work, we propose that Asp258 acts as a proton donor which becomes protonated when the substrate enters the binding pocket. Evidence is also obtained that the transfer of a proton from Asp258 to the leaving group is possibly mediated by a water molecule in the active site. The work also underlines the importance of His257 in lowering the energy barrier for the nucleophilic attack. 相似文献

This article is an electronic publication in Spectrochimica Acta Electronica (SAE), a section of Spectrochimica Acta Part B (SAB). The hardcopy text is accompanied by an electronic archive, stored on the SAE homepage at http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/sabe. The archive contains program, data and text files. The hardcopy text describes a program that has been developed to accept data from a compact electronic spectrograph and translate the data into a display on a computer screen. The computer display mimics the view seen through a direct vision spectroscope. Atomic spectra appear as vertical lines of the appropriate color dispersed on a black field. A conventional plot of intensity versus wavelength is simultaneously displayed. The update of the display is sufficiently rapid that the image on the screen is essentially a real-time representation of the light entering the spectrograph. The system was designed for use in conjunction with video projection equipment in demonstrations to large groups of students. 相似文献

The optimal creation of a reduced space that effectively captures the long timescale dynamics of a non-linear molecular system
over a range of frequencies is described. The technique builds on a previously developed subspace method based on linear constant
projective transformation of the original full space. The present work attempts to propose transformation that are spatially
dependent thereby leading to an effective subspace for better representing the dynamics of interests. The algorithm seeks
out an optimal transformation consistent with desired low frequency motion in a rather general way. The method is demonstrated
for a six-dimensional nonlinear system reduced to two-dimensions. Superior performance is found in evaluating ensemble-averaged
classical dynamical properties. 相似文献

The effective energy of a positive charge when it is localized at a specific guanine nucleobase in DNA was calculated using density functional theory. The results demonstrate that the efficiency of a guanine to act as a hole-trap in DNA strongly depends on the nature of the flanking nucleobases. The presence of a pyrimidine base at the 3' position adjacent to a guanine significantly increases the localization energy of the positive charge. The calculated distributions of a positive charge in sequences of two or three adjacent guanines, flanked by other nucleobases, provide an explanation for experimental literature data on the site-selective oxidation of DNA. 相似文献

This paper describes the development of a generic platform for enhanced, integrated optic sensors based on fluorescence detection. The platform employs a novel optical configuration in order to achieve enhanced performance and has inherent multianalyte detection capability. The sensor element comprises a multimode ridge waveguide that has been patterned with an analyte-sensitive fluorescent spot, which is excited directly using a LED. The platform was applied to the detection of gaseous oxygen as a proof of principle. The sol-gel-derived sensor spots were doped with an oxygen-sensitive fluorescent dichlororuthenium dye complex and intensity-based calibration data were generated from the oxygen-dependent waveguide output. The sensor achieved a LOD of 0.62% and a resolution of less than 0.96% gaseous oxygen, which compares favourably with a similar, recently reported system. This device highlights the combination of inexpensive rapid prototyping techniques and a dedicated sensor enhancement strategy that together facilitate the production of an effective prototype sensor platform. 相似文献

The Rayleigh-Gans theory of light scattering by a homogeneous cylinder has been applied to the case of scattering by a pad of fibers immersed in a liquid. The theory enables one to locate precisely the matching wavelength at which the mean refractive index of a sample of optically heterogeneous fibers coincides with that of an immersion medium. Thereby it offers a method of determining the mean refractive index. Besides, it facilitates a quantitative estimation of the variability of refractive index. The new technique has been used to study the birefringence of untreated cotton and ramie. The results are presented and discussed. 相似文献

A theoretical study of the thermodynamic equilibrium between force-induced tether formation and the adhesion of vesicles mediated by specific ligand-receptor interactions has been performed. The formation of bonds between mobile ligands in the vesicle and immobile receptors on the substrate is examined within a thermodynamic approximation. The shape of a vesicle pulled with a point force is calculated within a continuous approach. The two approaches are merged self-consistently by the use of the effective adhesion potential produced by the collective action of the bonds. As a result, the shapes of the vesicle and the tether, as well as the number of formed bonds in the contact zone, are determined as a function of the force, and approximate analytic expressions for them are provided. The de-adhesion process is characterized by the construction of a phase diagram that is a function of the density of the ligands in the vesicle, the surface coverage by receptors, the ligand-receptor binding affinity, and the reduced volume of the vesicle. In all cases, the phase diagram contains three regions separated by two nonintersecting lines of critical forces. The first is the line of onset forces associated with a second-order shape transition from a spherical cap to a tethered vesicle. The second line is attributed to the detachment forces at which a first-order unbinding transition from a tethered shape to a free vesicle occurs. 相似文献

Titanium Anodes with Active Coatings Based on Iridium Oxides: A Sublayer between the Active Coating and Titanium 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
An optimum composition and a technique for applying a protecting sublayer on titanium are substantiated experimentally. The sublayer prevents the oxidation of titanium during the production and application of highly porous metal oxide anodes. The formation of such a sublayer involves several stages: (a) coating chemically polished and etched in 5-% hydrofluoric acid titanium with hexachloroiridic acid, (b) drying hexachloroiridic acid, (c) a two-step treatment of anodes in argon with a low concentration of oxygen at 350°C, and (d) a brief annealing of the anodes in air at 400°C. The application of such a sublayer makes sense especially in the case of an anode with a thin highly porous active coating. The remarkable protecting properties of the sublayer are due to the formation of a dense coating on titanium. The coating consists of metallic iridium, titanium, and an amount of oxides of these metals. The titanium substrate itself undergoes minimum oxidation. 相似文献
