Fibers and 3D mesh scaffolds from biodegradable starch-based blends: production and characterization

The aim of this work is the production of fibers from biodegradable polymers to obtain 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering of hard tissues. The scaffolds required for this highly demanding application need to have, as well as the biological and mechanical characteristics, a high degree of porosity with suitable dimensions for cell seeding and proliferation. Furthermore, the open cell porosity should have adequate interconnectivity for a continuous flow of nutrients and outflow of cell metabolic residues as well as to allow cell growth into confluent layers. Blends of corn starch, a natural biodegradable polymer, with other synthetic polymers (poly(ethylene vinyl alcohol), poly(epsilon-caprolactone), poly(lactic acid)) were selected for this work because of their good balance of properties, namely biocompatibility, processability and mechanical properties. Melt spinning was used to produce fibers from all the blends and 3D meshes from one of the starch-poly(lactic acid) blends. The experimental characterization included the evaluation of the tensile mechanical properties and thermal properties of the fibers and the compression stiffness, porosity and degradation behavior of the 3D meshes.

An optical ammonium-sensor for the analysis of environmental waters

Summary For monitoring the ammonium content in environmental waters an optical sensor was developed. The sensor is based on a glass rod coated with a caoutchouc layer in which bromophenolblue was immobilized as indicator. A detection limit of 3 mol/l ammonium is obtained.     

光谱复杂的稀土基体中稀土杂质ICP光谱测定的一些问题

ICP激发光源以其独特的功能使ICP/AES技术在稀土分析中的应用日益广泛,在一定程度上取代了经典的直流电弧光谱法,但应指出,由于常规雾化器的低雾化效率(≤5％)和试样的高倍稀释,ICP/AES技术的实际检测能力的改善并不明显,本文用ICP光谱法测定了     

The synthesis and reactins of ortho bromophenyllithium

Experimental conditions have now been developed whereby o-bromophenyllithium(II) may be prepared in excellent yields and used as an organometallic intermediate for the synthesis of a variety of ortho bromo substituted phenyl compounds (o-BrC₆H₄X). THe thermal stability, decomposition products and reactions of II wre studied. REactions between II and a variety of substrates, e.g., CO₂, dimethylformamide, fluorinated esters, hexafluorobenzene, and organosilicon chlorides were examined.

Catalytic activity of palladium-containing zeolites in the complete oxidation of benzene

The dependence of palladium distribution in zeolites on the temperature of thermal treatment has been established from the data on oxygen chemisorption and the statistical processing of electron micrographs. The influence of palladium distribution in zeolites on their catalytic activity towards the complete oxidation of benzene has been shown.

透射电镜薄样品倾转过程中的附加旋转及其计算

模拟透射电镜双倾台进行样品位向调整过程,推导出反映样品倾转前后其合成倾转轴(即共有菊池线对的法线)方向变化规律的计算公式,称为附加旋转角计算公式。指出,实现样品位向调整的双倾操作,等效于样品绕其合成倾转轴的倾转及该倾转轴绕Z轴(平行入射束方向)的旋转之和。利用双倾台对薄膜样品进行的系列倾转实验表明,由附加旋转角公式计算的附加旋转角和实测值相一致。还根据双倾操作过程导出了合成倾转角的计算公式,它可用于判断样品位向调整的准确度。     

Determination of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone in human serum by high-performance liquid chromatography

Summary A simple method is described which allows the quantification of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) in human serum. NVP is extracted from serum with diethylether and determined with HPLC/UV-detection. 1-Cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone serves as an internal standard. The detection limit is 0.1 mg/l. The method has shown that NVP can enter the organisms of workers occupationally exposed to this substance.
