A new diamine monomer containing benzimidazole‐5‐sulfonic acid has been synthesised. It has been reacted, alone or mixed with diaminodiphenyl ether, with naphthalenic dianhydride to attain polynaphthalimides in which the sulfonic acid functionality is borne by pendant benzimidazole groups. The presence of sulfonic and benzimidazole groups greatly affected the physical properties of the polyimides as the novel polymers were found to be soluble in polar organic solvents and exhibited a lower thermal resistance than their non‐sulfonated counterparts. The polymer films exhibited good mechanical properties with tensile strength in the range 100–120 MPa and with moduli in the range 2.2–3.1 GPa. Sulfonic and benzimidazole groups significantly enhanced the hydrophilicity of the copolyimides, which showed water uptake up to 39%.
Grumixama (Eugenia brasiliensis Lam.) is a native fruit of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, belonging to the Myrtaceae family, which designatesthe most significant number of species with food potential. It stands out due to its phytochemical characteristics because of the presence of polyphenols and volatile organic compounds. Volatile compounds are substances released by foods that give off an aroma and influence flavor. Solid-phase microextraction is a technique that allows for low-cost, fast, and solvent-free extraction, has an affinity for numerous analytes, and is easily coupled to gas chromatography. The objectives of this work were to evaluate the efficiency of different fibers of SPME (solid-phase microextraction) in the extraction of volatile organic compounds from grumixama pulp; optimize a method for extraction time, temperature, and sample weight; and to determine the characteristic volatile profile of this fruit. For the extraction of volatile compounds, three fibers of different polarities were used: polar polyacrylate (PA) fibers, divinylbenzene/carboxyne/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS) semipolar fibers, and polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB). Fourteen volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified by DVB/CAR/PDMS, six by PA, and seven by PDMS/DVB through solid-phase microextraction in the headspace mode (SPME-HS). Considering the total number of compounds identified, regardless of the fiber used, and the optimization of the method, Eugenia brasiliensis presented sesquiterpene fractions (85.7%, 83.3%, and 85.7% of total VOCs) higher than the monoterpene fractions (14.3%, 16.7%, and 14.3%) for DVB/CAR/PDMS, PA, and PDMS/DVB, respectively in its composition. In addition, it was possible to verify that the fiber DVB/CAR/PDMS presented a better efficiency due to the larger chromatographic area observed when the grumixama pulp was subjected to conditions of 75 °C, 2.0 g, and an adsorption time of 20 min. 相似文献
We consider an overdetermined system of complex vector fields on the three-dimensional torus which is naturally associated to a real analytic, closed 1-form on the two-dimensional torus. By means of a detailed study of the geometry of level sets of a primitive of the pull-back of the 1-form via the universal covering, we prove that a necessary condition for the system to be globally solvable, in the non-exact case, is that each connected component of the critical set has a point at which the local primitives of the 1-form are open maps. When this condition is violated we also construct global solutions to the inhomogenous equations having analytic singularities. 相似文献
In this work, we have applied laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy to investigate biological processes in orange trees (Citrus aurantium L.). We have chosen to investigate water stress and Citrus Canker, which is a disease caused by the Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri bacteria. The fluorescence spectroscopy was investigated by using as an excitation source a 442-nm 15-mW HeCd gas multimode discharge laser and a 532-nm 10-mW Nd3+:YAG laser. The stress manifestation was detected by the variation of fluorescence ratios of the leaves at different wavelengths. The fluorescence ratios present a significant variation, showing the possibility to observe water stress by fluorescence spectrum. The Citrus Canker’s contaminated leaves were discriminated from the healthy leaves using a more complex analysis of the fluorescence spectra. However, we were unable to discriminate it from another disease, and new fluorescence experiments are planned for the future. 相似文献
Infrared 7FO → 7FJ electronic transitions are reported for Eu+3 in GdAlO3. The low symmetry of the crystalline field allows the observation, for the first time, of transitions with J = 3, 4, 5 and 6. The spectra are explained by means of a crystal-field model where a Cs term is added as a perturbation to the cubic field in order to take into account the lattice distortion. This model predicts energy levels which are in good agreement with the experimental data. 相似文献
The density matrix formalism has been used for computer calculations of the thickness of the excited slice, which determines the spatial resolution, in the case of quadrupolar nuclei havingI=3/2, for varying values of the electric quadrupolar coupling constant and the pulse-duration, when the spins are placed in a very strong magnetic field-gradient (50 T/m). 相似文献
The switching speed of conventional silicon-based optical switching devices based on plasma dispersion effect is limited by the lifetime of free carriers which introduce either phase or absorption changes. Here we report an all-optical logic NOR gate which does not rely on free carriers but instead uses two-photon absorption. High speed operation was achieved using pump induced non-degenerate two-photon absorption inside the submicron size silicon wire waveguides. The device required low pulse energy (few pJ) for logic gate operation. 相似文献
The effect of a strong quantizing magnetic field on the magnon damping in the electron-magnon system of EuO in a phonon field is discussed. It is found that as the laser frequency approaches the cyclotron frequency the magnon population may become unstable (magnon fluorescence). 相似文献
