The paper gives some comments about the potential use of plastic crystals in energy storage. The main point deals with the possibilities of binary solid solution formation. Three binary phase diagrams in the pentaerythritol series are commented on. 相似文献
We have studied the thermal behaviours of the fatty acid (C1-C9, C12, C14, C16 and C18) thallium(I) salts.Investigating the dependence of the thermal decomposition reactions on the experimental conditions, we established that they decompose differently depending on the atmosphere, and on the shape and material of the sample holders.We also determined the heat-stable temperature ranges of the compounds in which they can be investigated without any thermal decomposition.The temperatures and enthalpy changes of the polymorphic and phase changes were measured and the corresponding entropy changes were calculated.
Zusammenfassung Das thermische Verhalten der Thallium(I)-Salze der Fettsäuren mit C1 bis C9, C12, C14 und C18 wurden untersucht. Die Temperaturen und Enthalpien der einzelnen polymorphen und Phasenänderungen, sowie die thermische Stabilität der Verbindungen wurden bestimmt. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die zu Ketonen und Gemischt-Ketonen führende thermische Zersetzung in der Schmelzphase von Destillationsprozessen begleitet wird, welche von der Molekülstruktur und von zahlreichen Versuchsbedingungen abhängig sind.

The structure and rheological properties of a poly(dimethylsiloxane)-graft-poly(oxyethylene) copolymer at high concentrations
in block-selective solvents were studied by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and rheometry. Analysis of SAXS data indicates
that quasispherical, reverse micellar aggregates (with no ordered packing) are present in concentrated solutions of the copolymer
in nonpolar solvents, and that upon addition of water, the size of such aggregates increases due to the solubilization inside
the micellar cores. The viscosity of concentrated polymer solutions increases exponentially as water is added, and finally,
viscoelastic, gel-like behavior is found in the vicinity of the phase separation limit. It was found that small silver nanoparticles
with an average diameter of ≈3 nm can be synthesized inside the copolymer aggregates without the need of a reducing agent;
namely, particles embedded in a viscoelastic matrix are obtained. The synthesis seems to follow first-order kinetics.

We analyze the structure of napin (BngNAP1), a storage protein (m.w. 14.5 kDa) from Brassica napus. On the basis of the results of 1H NMR spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies, the overall shape and secondary structure of the molecule are estimated. 相似文献
Four many curves methods, viz. calculation techniques based on Eqs (30), (31), (34) and (36), respectively, for deriving kinetic parameters from several TG curves recorded with different heating rates are tested on two sets of theoretical TG curves. The maximum reaction rate temperature and conversion, as well as the approximate formulae used for their calculation are discussed. Some aspects of the kinetic compensation effect are analysed. The final conclusion is that the use of the many curves methods is not reasonable. 相似文献
A selective and sensitive luminescence method for the determination of levofloxacin is described. The method is based in the luminescence signal from a terbium(III)-levofloxacin complex, in a micellar solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), using a chemical deoxygenation agent (Na2SO3). The method allows the determination of 8-600 ng mL-1 of levofloxacin in 10 mM SDS solution containing 0.04 M acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer (pH 6) and 7.5 mM Na2SO3 with lambda exc = 292 nm and lambda em = 546 nm. The luminescence method was applied to the determination of the levofloxacin in a Spanish commercialized pharmaceutical formulation Tavanic (Hoechst Marion Roussel). Good concordance was found between the nominal and experimental values (500 and 488 mg, respectively), with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.6%. The proposed method was shown to be 100-fold more sensitive than the spectrophotometric method, and nearly 2-fold more sensitive than the fluorescence method. The method was also applied to levofloxacin determination in human serum (by external calibration method) and urine (by standard additions method), spiked at levels found after drug administration at normal clinical doses. Average recoveries found were 90.1 (RSD 1%) and 102 (RSD 1.9%), respectively. 相似文献
Fabricating mechanically strong hydrogels that can withstand the conditions in internal tissues is a challenging task. We have designed hydrogels based on multicomponent systems by combining chitosan, starch/cellulose, PVA, and PEDOT:PSS via one-pot synthesis. The starch-based hydrogels were homogeneous, while the cellulose-based hydrogels showed the presence of cellulose micro- and nanofibers. The cellulose-based hydrogels demonstrated a swelling ratio between 121 and 156%, while the starch-based hydrogels showed higher values, from 234 to 280%. Tensile tests indicated that the presence of starch in the hydrogels provided high flexibility (strain at break?>?300%), while combination with cellulose led to the formation of stiffer hydrogels (elastic moduli 3.9–6.6 MPa). The ultimate tensile strength for both types of hydrogels was similar (2.8–3.9 MPa). The adhesion and growth of human osteoblast-like SAOS-2 cells was higher on hydrogels with cellulose than on hydrogels with starch, and was higher on hydrogels with PEDOT:PSS than on hydrogels without this polymer. The metabolic activity of cells cultivated for 3 days in the hydrogel infusions indicated that no acutely toxic compounds were released. This is promising for further possible applications of these hydrogels in tissue engineering or in wound dressings.
Prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) is one of the most powerful analytical methods for the determination of boron because
of its very large neutron capture cross section. The peak of boron in the PGAA spectra is highly broadened due to the Doppler-effect.
An improved method is presented to fit the boron peak, and to resolve interference with the gamma-rays of sodium and other
matrix components. The method has been checked on test samples and on geological samples as well. 相似文献
A new approach for simultaneous separation of small inorganic and organic anions and metal cations by capillary electrophoresis is demonstrated. Metal cations in the sample are transformed into their chelates with EDTA and are separated together with the anions using an anionic separation mode. Simultaneous separation of 19 common anions and cations was achieved in about 6 min with the electrolyte containing 5 mM K2CrO4, 3 mM boric acid, 35 microM cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and 12 microM EDTA at pH 8. Limits of detection (s/n = 3) were in the range from 4 ppb for Cl- up to 1250 ppb for Cu-EDTA and RSDs of peak areas ranged from 1.4% for Cl- up to 8.5% for Mn-EDTA chelate. The practical applicability of the method was demonstrated on the analysis of anions and cations in various water samples. 相似文献
