Neuere Untersuchungen über die Struktur thixotroper Gele

Zusammenfassung Die thixotrope Erstarrung beruht auf der Ausbildung dreidimensionaler Gerüste von Feststoffpartikeln. Dies wird unter anderem auch durch die in der vorliegenden Arbeit beschriebene anomale Gefrierpunktserniedrigung erwiesen. Die Architektur des Gerüsts wird bestimmt durch die Gestalt und die Größe der Kristalle, die Ladungsdichte und die Verteilung der Ladungen auf ihrer Oberfläche, die Wertigkeit der Gegenionen und die Möglichkeit zur Ausbildung von Solvatbrücken.Vorgetragen auf der Rheologen-Tagung vom 15. bis 17. Mai 1962 in Berlin-Dahlem.     

A Mixed Ionic and Electronic Conducting Dual‐Phase Membrane with High Oxygen Permeability

To combine good chemical stability and high oxygen permeability, a mixed ionic‐electronic conducting (MIEC) 75 wt % Ce_0.85Gd_0.1Cu_0.05O_2?δ‐25 wt % La_0.6Ca_0.4FeO_3?δ (CGCO‐LCF) dual‐phase membrane based on a MIEC–MIEC composite has been developed. Copper doping into Ce_0.9Gd_0.1O_2?δ (CGO) oxide enhances both ionic and electronic conductivity, which then leads to a change from ionic conduction to mixed conduction at elevated temperatures. For the first time we demonstrate that an intergranular film with 2–10 nm thickness containing Ce, Ca, Gd, La, and Fe has been formed between the CGCO grains in the CGCO‐LCF one‐pot dual‐phase membrane. A high oxygen permeation flux of 0.70 mL min^?1 cm^?2 is obtained by the CGCO‐LCF one‐pot dual‐phase membrane with 0.5 mm thickness at 950 °C using pure CO₂ as the sweep gas, and the membrane shows excellent stability in the presence of CO₂ even at lower temperatures (800 °C) during long‐term operation.     

Regioselective Ring‐Opening Polymerization of a Polyhydroxycarboxylic Acid for the Synthesis of a Nanoscale Carrier Material with pH‐Dependent Stability and Sustained Drug Release

Synthetic polyesters are usually composed of monohydroxycarboxylic acids to avoid the problem of regioselectivity during ring‐opening polymerization. In contrast, the linear polyester BICpoly contains four secondary OH groups and is nevertheless esterified regioselectively at only one of these positions. Neither the synthesis of the tricyclic monomers nor the ring‐opening polymerization requires protecting groups, making BICpoly an attractive novel and biocompatible polymer. BICpoly nanoparticles can be loaded with low‐molecular weight drugs or coated onto surfaces as thin films. The release of loaded compounds makes BICpoly an attractive depot for drug release, as shown herein by loading BICpoly with dyes or the cytostatic drug doxorubicin. BICpoly is distinguishable from other polymers by its characteristic pH‐dependent degradation.
