Middle-phase microemulsions of green surfactant alkyl polyglucosides

Microemulsions are important organized molecular assembles in surfactant solutions and are used in various fields such as tertiary oil recovery, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, nanoparticle synthe-sis and chemical engineering. The more commonly used nonionic surfactants to produce micro- emulsions are the ethylene oxide-based compounds (CiEj). In recent years alkyl polyglucosides have been received considerable attention in producing microemulsions[17]. Alkyl polyglucosides (APG), which are widely…

Design study and heat transfer analysis of a neutron converter target for medical radioisotope production

A worldwide challenge in the near future will be to find a way of producing radioisotopes in sufficient quantity without relying on research reactors. The motivation for this innovative work on targets lies in the accelerator-based production of radioisotopes using a neutron converter target as in the transmutation by adiabatic resonance crossing concept. Thermal analysis of a multi-channel helium cooled device is performed with the computational fluid dynamics code CFX. Different boundary conditions are taken into account in the simulation process and many important parameters such as maximum allowable solid target temperature as well as uniform inlet velocity and outlet pressure changes in the channels are investigated. The results confirm that the cooling configuration works well; hence such a solid target could be operated safely and may be considered for a prototype target.

Observability inequality for the Petrovsky equation

The aim of this paper is to study the exact controllability of the Petrovsky equation. Under some checkable geometric assumptions, we establish the observability inequality via the multiplier method for the Dirichlet control problem.     

Synthesis and rheological investigation of self‐healable deferoxamine grafted alginate hydrogel

Deferoxamine grafted alginate (SA‐DFA) was successfully synthesized via amidation of sodium alginate with deferoxamine mesylate as determined by H‐NMR and elemental analysis. SA‐DFA with different graft yield was obtained by adjusting the ratio of sodium alginate and deferoxamine mesylate. It was found that aqueous solution of SA‐DFA could form hydrogel spontaneously due to hydrogen bonding interactions, which also endowed the SA‐DFA hydrogel with self‐healing capability. The healing efficiency of SA‐DFA hydrogels ranged from 53.64 to 90.16%. In addition, surface morphologies of SA‐DFA hydrogels before/after self‐healing process were demonstrated by SEM images. We anticipated that such self‐healable alginate hydrogel would be applied in the field of wound healing. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym. Phys. 2017 , 55, 856–865     

Total synthesis of cannabisin F

A practical eight-step synthesis of lignanamide cannabisin F starting from vanillin is reported for the first time. This synthetic strategy applies the aldol reaction followed by the Wittig reaction to afford the key 8-O-4′-neolignan intermediate diacid. The diacid was condensed with N,O-protected tyramine giving, after deprotection, cannabisin F.     

A Photo-Responsive Organogel Based on Pyrene-Substituted Acylhydrazone Derivative

A new simple pyrene-substituted acylhydrazone derivative, 4-(3,4-dioctyloxy) phenyl-1-pyrene acylhydrazone (PAH-8), was designed and synthesized. The PAH-8 can form thermo-reversible organogel in DMSO, and shows gelation-induced enhanced fluorescence emission. Xerogel exhibits ribbon-like fibrous aggregates with widths of 0.5-1 μm. The PAH-8 organogel indicates photo-responsive behaviors due to the trans-cis isomerizations of -C=N- bond upon exposure to visible or UV light. Upon visible light irradiation, the partial trans-cis isomerization of the -C=N- bond causes the fiber morphology to disappear, resulting in gel-sol transition, whereas the PAH-8 organogel exhibits few photoisomerizations from trans to cis transition without breakage of the gel state upon UV light irradiation.
