This review focuses on the developments of the various parts of instrumentation and the operation of low to medium pressure flow injection and sequential injection chromatography (FIC and SIC) systems. The report and discussion include solution delivery system, separation column, flow cell and detector, mobile phase management, and online sample pretreatment. Applications of FIC and SIC and their differences as compared to HPLC are also presented. 相似文献
A liquid crystal, BL038, which was observed not to crystallize, has a glass transition at 215 K and a nematic to isotropic transition at 380 K. Samples aged below the glass transition at various temperatures Ta, exhibited an endotherm at the transition which developed with extent of ageing time, ta. We attribute this endotherm to the relaxation of the glass towards the equilibrium liquid. The progress of the relaxation process was measured using differential scanning calorimetry. On subsequent reheating, the aged glass showed an apparent shift in the glass transition to higher temperatures. The endotherm was used to define the extent of enthalpic relaxation and the maximum value observed was found to increase initially then decrease, with the extent of undercooling from the glass transition temperature, Δ T, passing through a maximum for a Δ T = 15 K. From the temperature dependence of the relaxation times, an apparent activation enthalpy for the relaxation process of 85 ± 10 kJ mol-1 was determined. The small value of the activation enthalpy compared with that found in the ageing of polymers reflects differences in the molecular species involved in relaxation processes. 相似文献
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have recently gained attention as a new class of drug in the therapeutic management of glaucoma. However, the application of eye drops is limited because of their chemical instability in aqueous solutions. To overcome such a problem, cyclodextrins (CDs) were introduced to form inclusion complexes. Three ACE inhibitors, namely, captopril, quinapril and fosinopril (FOS), were chosen and the effect of CDs on their thermal stability in aqueous solutions was investigated. All three drugs formed inclusion complexes of 1:1 stoichiometry with all three natural CDs and the FOS/γCD inclusion complex possessed the highest stability constant, resulting in thermal stability enhancement. Furthermore, the addition of antioxidants could greatly enhance the thermal stability of FOS in the presence of γCD in aqueous solutions. The inclusion complex formation of FOS/γCD was further examined by computational and experimental characterizations. All these characterization results confirmed that FOS and γCD formed a true inclusion complex that provided drug stabilization in the aqueous eye drop medium.
Terahertz Time Domain Imaging has been used in the last few years for the investigation of cultural heritage. In this article,
the authors demonstrate the possibility to apply it for the investigation of clay artifacts. Tomographic images were obtained
of a model in reflection, and an Egyptian vessel in transmission. 相似文献
Pt(0)-catalyzed ring-opening precipitation copolymerization of [1]silaferrocenophanes fcSiMe(2) (3) and the spirocyclic cross-linker fcSi(CH(2))(3) (4) (fc = Fe(eta(5)-C(5)H(4))(2)) was used to prepare polyferrocenylsilane microspheres (PFSMSs) under mild conditions. By varying the reaction conditions, a wide variety of other morphologies was obtained. The effects of temperature, monomer ratio, solvent composition, catalyst concentration, and time on the observed morphology were investigated and interpreted in terms of a mechanism for microsphere formation. The most well-defined particles were formed using equimolar amounts of 3 and 4, in a 50:50 mixture of xylenes and decane at 60 degrees C with gentle agitation. Chemical oxidation of the polymeric microspheres led to positively charged particles (OPFSMSs) which underwent electrostatically driven self-assembly with negatively charged silica microspheres to form core-corona composite particles. Redox titration with controlled amounts of the one-electron oxidant [N(C(6)H(4)Br-p)(3)][PF(6)] in acetonitrile led to the oxidation of the outer 0.15 microm (ca. 32%) of the PFSMSs. The resulting OPFSMSs were reduced back to their neutral form by reaction with hydrazine in methanol. Pyrolysis of the PFSMSs led to spherical magnetic ceramic replicas with tunable magnetic properties that organize into ordered 2-D arrays at the air-water interface under the influence of a magnetic field. 相似文献
