Mutual Influence of Some Flavonoids and Classical Nonionic Surfactants on Their Adsorption and Volumetric Properties at Different Temperatures

Due to the increasing practical use of mixtures of flavonoids with nonionic surfactants the presented studies were based on the measurements of surface tension and conductivity of aqueous solution of the quercetin (Q) and rutin (Ru) in the mixtures with Triton X-114 (TX114) and Tween 80 (T80) as well as the contact angle of model liquids on the PTFE surface covered by the quercetin and rutin layers. Based on the obtained results components and parameters of the quercetin and rutin surface tension were determined and the mutual influence of Q and Ru in the mixtures with TX114 and T80 on their adsorption and volumetric properties were considered. It was found, among others, that based on the surface tension isotherms of the aqueous solution of the single flavonoid and nonionic surfactant, the surface tension isotherms of the aqueous solution of their mixture, the composition of the mixed monolayer at the water-air interface as well as the CMC of flavonoid + nonionic surfactant mixture can be predicted. The standard Gibbs energy, enthalpy and entropy of the adsorption and aggregation of the studied mixtures were also found, showing the mechanism of the adsorption and aggregation processes of the flavonoid + nonionic surfactant mixture.     

Adsorption Properties and Composition of Binary Kolliphor Mixtures at the Water–Air Interface at Different Temperatures

The studies on the adsorption properties and composition of the adsorbed monolayer at the water–air interface of the binary Kolliphor^® ELP (ELP) and Kolliphor^® RH 40 (RH40) mixtures based on the measurements of the surface tension (γ_LV) of their aqueous solution in the temperature range from 293 to 318 K were carried out. The γ_LV isotherms were described by the exponential function of the second order and the Szyszkowski equation as well as predicted by Fainerman and Miller equation. The obtained γ_LV isotherms were analyzed using the exponential function of the second order, the Szyszkowski, Fainerman and Miller as well as independent adsorption equations. The γ_LV isotherms were also used for determination of the Gibbs surface excess concentration of RH40, ELP and their mixture (Γ) at the water–air interface as well as the mixed monolayer composition. Based on Γ and the constant a in the Szyszkowski equation, the standard thermodynamic functions of adsorption were considered. From the consideration dealing with the γ_LV isotherms obtained by us, it results, among others, that these isotherms for the non-ideal solution of macromolecular surfactants mixture can be predicted using the Fainerman and Miller equation. From this consideration, it also results that a simple method proposed by us, based on the isotherms of RH40 and ELP, allows us to predict the composition of their mixed monolayer in the whole concentration range of RH40 and ELP in the bulk phase.

Investigations of the Properties of l-Histidine in Aqueous NaCl Solutions at Different Temperatures

Density and viscosity experimental data for l-histidine in NaCl aqueous solutions were obtained at different salt and different amino acid concentrations in the range of temperatures between 293.15 and 323.15 K. The results have been correlated and analyzed in order to evaluate the influence of electrolyte concentration and temperature on the volumetric and viscometric properties of the solutions. The apparent molar volumes and the transfer volumes of l-histidine in aqueous NaCl solutions at different salt and amino acid molalities over entire temperature range were calculated from experimental density data. The viscosity experimental data have been analyzed with Jones–Dole equation and the Falkenhagen (A) and the Jones–Dole coefficient (B) have been calculated in order to evaluate the interactions occurring in the systems. The B viscosity coefficients were found to be positive for all conditions, showing a kosmotropic effect of solutes, indicating an alignment of zwitterions with ions/water dipoles. A comparison of standard partial molar volumes for some amino acids in water and NaCl aqueous solutions shows that they increase with molecular mass and complexity of the lateral side chain of the amino acid.     

The Impact of Carbon Surface Composition on the Diffusion and Adsorption of Paracetamol at Different Temperatures and at Neutral pH

Commercial activated carbon D43/1 (Carbo-Tech, Essen, Germany) was deashed and modified chemically to increase surface acidity and basicity, as well as to introduce metal cations onto the surface and yet conserve the porosity. The five carbons obtained were applied as adsorbents. Based on the results of batch-reactor test kinetic measurements of the adsorption of 4-hydroxyacetanilide (paracetamol) from aqueous solution at the neutral pH and at three temperatures (300, 310, and 320 K), the values of the effective diffusion coefficient (D(e)) were calculated. It is shown that D(e) increases (up to the relative adsorption equal to approximately 0.6) with rise in the magnitude of the enthalpy of immersion of carbons in water. Based on the obtained results as well as those published previously, the role of surface composition in the mechanism of paracetamol adsorption and in the kinetics of this process is discussed.

Thermal Properties of Polymers at Low Temperatures

Abstract

The existing measurements and theories of the low-temperature thermal properties, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity of polymers are reviewed with particular attention paid to the differences between partly crystalline and amorphous polymers. The most striking feature of the low-temperature heat capacity of polymers is that in the liquid helium temperature range the heat capacity does not depend upon the cube of the temperature as for other solids. Further, only well below 1°K does the heat capacity approach the value predicted on the basis of the sound velocity. This behavior indicates the presence of a small number of low-frequency modes of vibration in the frequency spectrum. The fact that such anomalous behavior seems linearly related to the crystallinity implies that this behavior is associated with the amorphous structure, perhaps with motions of pendent groups within cavities formed in the amorphous structure. The thermal conductivity of semicrystalline and amorphous polymers differs considerably. Semicrystalline polymers display a temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity similar to that obtained from highly imperfect crystals, the thermal conductivity having a maximum in the temperature range near 100°K which moves to lower temperatures and higher thermal conductivities as the crystallinity is increased. Amorphous polymers display a temperature dependence similar to that obtained for glasses with no maximum but a significant plateau region in the range between 5 and 15°K. The theoretical interpretation of the thermal conductivity of these materials is considered.

Thermodynamic Properties of NaCl Solutions at Subzero Temperatures

Heat capacities at infinite dilution of NaCl (aq) for the temperature range 0 to –25°C and apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution for 0 to –15°C have been estimated from a synthesis of experimental data collected at subzero temperatures. The parameters of the Helgeson–Kirkham–Flowers (HKF) equation for Na⁺ (aq) have been obtained, from which the Gibbs energies of Na⁺ and Cl^– have been calculated. The estimated values of Pitzer-equation parameters for thermal and activity-coefficient properties have been adjusted for subzero temperatures. The experimental phase diagram for the NaCl–H₂O system could be reproduced with these data, demonstrating the low-temperature applicability of the HKF model to extrapolate thermodynamic properties of aqueous-solution species at infinite dilution.     

Fluorescence Properties of Thiacarbocyanine Dyes at Low Temperatures

Measurements were carried out for time-resolved fluorescence spectra of dye solutions containing thiacarbocyanine and its derivatives with ethylene and vinylene bridges in the polymethine chain. At low temperature, an additional band appears in the spectrum related to an intramolecular electronic transition. Analysis of the transition lifetimes and a quantum-chemical model indicated that this transition should be attributed to a short-lived asymmetrical component formed along with the symmetrical component upon relaxation of the excited state but not appearing at room temperature due to conformational transformations.     

Study of the Adsorption Properties of MCM-41 Molecular Sieves Prepared at Different Synthesis Times

The variation of surface properties of SiMCM-41 and AlMCM-41 nanoporous materials as function of synthesis time was examined. The main properties studied were: surface area, pore diameter, pore volume, mesoporous parameter, and wall thickness. Siliceous MCM-41 molecular sieves were synthesized starting from hydrogels with the following molar compositions: 4.58SiO₂:0.435Na₂O:1 CTMABr:200 H₂O for SiMCM-41, and 4.58SiO₂:0.485 Na₂O:1 CTMABr:0.038 Al₂O₃:200 H₂O, for AlMCM-41. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMABr) was used as the structural template. The crystallographic parameters were obtained from XRD data and by nitrogen adsorption using the BET and BJH methods. The results obtained showed a significant variation of the surface properties of the MCM-41 materials as a function of the synthesis time reaching silica wall thickness of ca. 2 nm on the fourth day.

Aggregation and Adsorption Properties of Tetramethylsulfonatoresorcinarenes and their Associates with Nonionogenic Guest Molecules in Aqueous Solutions

Present paper reports on tensiometric studies of tetramethylsulfonatoresorcinarenes 1 and 2 with nonionogenic guests 3 and 4, pyrimidin derivative and O,O-dymethyl-1,1-dimethyl-3-oxobutylphosphonate, respectively. Association of resorcinarenes with these guests leads to dramatic change of adsorption characteristics of their solutions. CCMs₁ of associates (1&3, 1&4, 2&3, and 2&4) are lower and the estimated surface activity, as well as the height of adsorption layers are higher than for individual substances. Aggregation of compounds 1–4 and association of 1 with 3 and 4 in solution were confirmed by ¹H NMR spectra and studied by diffusion NMR with impulse magnetic field gradient.     

氮气热处理对CNTs-LaNi5电极电化学性能的影响

研究了碳纳米管(CNTs)氮气热处理后结构的变化, 以及热处理温度对CNTs-LaNi5电极电化学性能的影响. CNTs热处理后, 管壁变薄, 层数变少, 管的外径减小, 更有利于氢气的吸附和脱附. 将碳纳米管与LaNi5储氢合金按质量比1:10混合, 制作成CNTs-LaNi5电极. 800 ℃时CNTs-LaNi5电极的储氢性能最好, 最大容量为519.1 mAh•g-1, 相应的平台电压高达1.19 V. 在500～600 ℃范围内, 随着温度升高, 放电容量有较大幅度的增加; 在600～800 ℃范围内, 随着温度升高, 放电容量有较小幅度的增加; 但到900 ℃时, 放电容量反而下降. 由此可见, CNTs的热处理温度对CNTs-LaNi5电极的电化学储氢性能有着较大的影响. 纯LaNi5电极的放电容量仅为265.6 mAh•g-1, 平台电压仅为0.83 V. 添加了碳纳米管的CNTs-LaNi5电极的电化学活性高于纯LaNi5电极.

Densities and Volumetric Properties of Binary Mixtures of Tetrahydrofuran with Some Aromatic Hydrocarbons at Temperatures from 278.15 to 318.15 K

The densities, ρ, of binary mixtures of tetrahydrofuran (THF) with benzene, toluene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene and mesitylene, including those of the pure liquids, were measured over the entire composition range at the temperatures (278.15, 283.15, 288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From the experimental data, the excess molar volume, V _m ^E, partial molar volumes, _m,1 ^∘ and _m,2 ^∘, and excess partial molar volumes, _m,1 ^∘E and _m,2 ^∘E, at infinite dilution were calculated. The V _m ^E values were found to be negative over the whole composition range for all of the mixtures and at each temperature studied, except for THF + mesitylene, which exhibits a sigmoid trend wherein V _m ^E changes sign from negative to positive as the concentration of THF in the mixture is increased, indicating the presence of specific interactions between THF and aromatic hydrocarbon molecules. The extent of negative deviations in the V _m ^E values follows the order: benzene > toluene > p-xylene > m-xylene > o-xylene > mesitylene. It is observed that the V _m ^E values depend upon the number and position of the methyl groups in these aromatic hydrocarbons.
