Friction coefficients of spheres having sticky or hairy surfaces

The theoretical equations for friction coefficients of spheres having sticky or hairy surfaces are presented. In the present treatment, the sticky surface is represented by a higher viscosity of fluid in the surface layer and the hairy surface is assumed to have a porous structure. The friction coefficients are given as functions of the thickness of the surface layer, the fluid viscosity in the surface layer and the segmental density of hairy chains.     

Neutral carrier based silicone rubber membranes for H3O+, K+, NH4 + and Ca2+ selective electrodes

Summary Silicone rubber is a universal membrane matrix for neutral carrier based ion-selective electrodes. Carrier antibiotics as well as synthetic ionophores yield sensors with selectivities that are comparable or even higher than those of corresponding poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane systems. The permeability of silicone rubber membranes for gas molecules is about ten times higher than the permeability of PVC membranes. In contrast, the electrical conductivity is by a factor of 10–100 lower.

Auf neutralen Carriern beruhende Silikongummimembran-Elektroden mit Selektivität für H₃O⁺, K⁺, NH₄ ⁺ und Ca²⁺

Zusammenfassung In ionenselektiven Elektroden auf der Basis von neutralen Carriern läßt sich Silikongummi als universelle Membranmatrix einsetzen. Entsprechende Sensoren sind sowohl mit ionenselektiven Antibiotika als auch mit synthetischen Carriern realisiert worden. Ihre Selektivitäten übertreffen teilweise jene von entsprechenden PVC-Membranen. Die Permeabilität der Silikongummimembranen für Gasmolekel ist ungefähr zehnmal höher als jene von PVC-Membranen. Andererseits ist die elektrische Leitfähigkeit um einen Faktor 10–100 niedriger.

Phosphino[tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl]Boranes and 2,4‐Bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl]‐1,3,2,4‐diphosphadiboretanes [1]

The reaction of tris(trimethylsilyl)methylboron dihalides (Me₃Si)₃CBX₂ (X = Cl, F) with the lithium phosphides LiPHtBu and LiPHmes leads to the phosphinoboranes (Me₃Si)₃CBX‐(PHR), (Me₃Si)₃CB(PHR)₂ or the 1,3,2,4‐diphosphadiboretanes [(Me₃Si)₃CB(PR)]₂, depending on the ratio of the reagents, the reaction temperature and concentration. High dilution and low temperatures are required for the synthesis of (Me₃Si)₃CB(Hal)PHR ( 1–3 ) in order to prevent the formation of (Me₃Si)₃CB(PHR)₂ ( 4 and 5 ). The latter compounds are best prepared in a two step phosphination from (Me₃Si)₃CBHal₂ and LiPHR. At higher temperatures the four‐membered 1,3,2,4‐diphosphadiboretanes [(Me₃Si)₃CB(PR)]₂ 6 and 7 are the most stable compounds. On the other hand, compounds of type (Me₃Si)₃CB(Hal)PR₂, 8 and 9 , are thermally more stable than the monophosphinoboranes 1 – 3 . Phosphinoboranes of type (Me₃Si)₃CB(PR₂)₂ (R = tBu, mes) could not be prepared. NMR and mass spectral data are in accord with the monomeric nature of compounds 1 to 9 .

Manipulating the Through‐Space Spin–Spin Interaction of Organic Radicals in the Confined Cavity of a Self‐Assembled Cage

We show a new approach to manipulating the through‐space spin–spin interaction by utilizing the confined cavity of a self‐assembled M₆L₄ coordination cage. The coordination cage readily encapsulates stable organic radicals in solution, which brings the spin centers of the radicals closer to each other. In sharp contrast to the fact that the radical in solution in the absence of the cage is in a doublet state, in the presence of the cage through‐space spin–spin interaction is induced through cage‐encapsulation effects in solution as well as in the solid state, resulting in the triplet state of the complex. These results were confirmed by ESR spectroscopy and X‐ray crystallography. The quantity of triplet species generated by encapsulation in the cage increases with increasing affinity of the radicals to the cage. We estimated the affinity between several types of guests and the cage in solution by cyclic voltammetry. We also demonstrate that the through‐space interaction of organic radicals within the self‐assembled coordination cage can be controlled by external stimuli such as heat or pH.     

The distribution coefficient of oil and curing agent in PP/EPDM TPV

The distribution coefficients of oil and curing agent in PP/EPDM TPV were calculated by measuring the melting point of the PP phase using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The PP/EPDM TPV was prepared by using a twin screw extruder and a peroxide curing agent was used. The peroxide induces the degradation of PP, resulting in the decrease of T_m. The oil in PP phase also decreases the Tm. Based on the T_m difference among pure PP and PP/EPDM TPV before and after extraction by cylcohexane, the calculated oil distribution coefficient is 0.537. The addition sequence of PP, oil, and curing agent has a significant effect on the T_m and the calculated curing agent distribution coefficient is 0.52. Both of the coefficients are less than 1. Based on the calculation of the two coefficients, a rationale design of thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) can be made by proper control of raw materials, addition sequence, and processing parameters.

Analysis of dinitro- and amino-nitro-toluenesulfonic acids in groundwater by solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry

A reversed-phase LC–MS method with quadrupole-time of flight (QTOF) detection has been developed for the determination of four dinitro-toluenesulfonic acids and two amino-nitro-toluenesulfonic acids in groundwater. The analytes were separated by HPLC with 0.1% (v/v) formic acid as mobile phase modifier compatible with mass spectrometric detection. QTOF-MS analysis with negative ion electrospray ionization afforded good selectivity and sensitivity for analysis of the dinitro- and amino-nitro-toluenesulfonic acids. Structure elucidation and confirmation were accomplished by tandem mass spectrometry. Characteristic ions resulting from the loss of NO, NO₂, and SO₂ from the [M–H]^– ions were detected. An intense fragment ion at m/z 80 representing the [SO₃]^– ion was detected for all dinitro- and amino-nitro-toluenesulfonic acids. Solid-phase extraction using a co-polymer cartridge was developed for preconcentration of the analytes from water. Good recovery (>85%) was achieved when 0.1% formic acid was added into the water samples before extraction. Method detection limits ranged from 10 to 76 ng L^–1 for the targeted compounds when 10 mL water was analyzed. Groundwater samples collected from wells close to a former ammunition plant in Stadtallendorf, Germany, were analyzed for the dinitro- and amino-nitro-toluenesulfonic acids.
