New approaches to characterize polymeric oil additives in solution based on pyrene excimer fluorescence

Maleated polyolefins (MaPOs) such as maleated ethylene propylene copolymers or polyisobutylene terminated at one end with a succininic anhydride can be used as polymeric dispersants in engine oils after reaction with polyamines while unmodified EP copolymers improve the viscosity index of oils. MaPOs can also be labeled with pyrene derivatives to generate pyrene‐labeled polyolefins (PyLPOs) as fluorescent mimics of oil additives and pyrene excimer fluorescence (PEF) can be applied to probe their behavior in solution. This review describes new methodology that was recently implemented to characterize the complex fluorescence signal emitted by PyLPOs by using steady‐state and time‐resolved fluorescence. This methodology enables one to gain quantitative information about the level of clustering of the succinic pendants along a maleated polyolefins and intra‐ and intermolecular aggregation of polyolefins in solution. Such information is relevant to scientists aiming to characterize polymeric oil additives used in engine oil. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym. Phys. 2017 , 55, 7–18

Xenon porometry: a novel method for the derivation of pore size distributions

Xenon porometry is a novel method used for characterizing porous materials by the (129)Xe nuclear magnetic resonance of xenon gas. With the method, the diffusion of gas is slowed down by immersing the material in a medium, which can be in liquid or solid state during measurements. Because of slow diffusion, the signal of a xenon atom is characteristic of the properties of only one pore, and the composite signal of all atoms represents the distribution of properties. The method is especially applicable for determining pore size distribution because the chemical shifts of two different xenon signals (one from liquid and the other from gas pockets in solid) are dependent on pore size. Therefore, the shapes of these signals represent pore size distribution function. In addition, the porosity of the material can be determined by comparing the intensities of two signals. This article focuses on describing xenon signals observed from gas pockets in a solid medium, which has turned out to be most convenient for pore size determination.     

Synthesis of γ-Cyclodextrin Pyrene-Labeled at the Hetero Rim and Its Use in Fluorescent Molecular Sensing

Fluorogenic active host labeled at the upper and lower rims of -cyclodextrin, namely, mono-3^A-deoxy-3^A-pyrenebutylamido-6^X-O-mono-pyrenebutylate-mono-altro--cyclodetrin (mixture -1,X = A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H), has been synthesized in order to investigate their host-guest complexation with steroidal compoundsusing fluorescence spectra. Monomer and excimer fluorescence was observed for mixture host. Inclusion of a guest molecule in the cyclodextrin cavity resultedin increased monomer fluorescence and decreased excimer fluorescence. The extent of monomerand excimer fluorescence variations ofmixture -1 with the guestwas used as an indication for the sensing ability. The guest inducedfluorescence changes were measured for 10^-7 M solutions of mixture -1.The values I/I ⁰ , where I ⁰ and I are fluorescence intensities in the absence and presence of a guest, respectively, and I is I ⁰ - I, were then used to describe the sensing ability.

Laser-induced fluorescence of cardiac tissue with calcinosis

Investigations of laser-induced fluorescence spectra for human cardiac valve tissue with calcinosis are performed as compared to similar spectra of bone and myocardial tissue of an animal that are excited by an excimer laser with a 248-nm wavelength. It is shown that a healthy tissue has a laser-induced fluorescence maximum in the region of 300–400 nm which corresponds to protein tissue luminescence. For tissue affected by calcinosis, the laser-induced fluorescence spectra differ significantly from the spectra of healthy tissue and have a maximum in the region of 400–500 nm. The obtained results offer the prospects for using laser-induced fluorescence to diagnose tissue with calcinosis in open-heart surgery.

Glow-discharge-pumped broadband ultraviolet lamp

The optical characteristics of a UV broadband lamp that was excited by a longitudinal glow discharge and operated on Kr—Br₂—I₂, Xe—Br₂—I₂, and Kr—Xe—Br₂—I₂ mixtures are investigated. The interelectrode spacing in the lamp is 10 cm, the inner diameter of a discharge tube being 14 mm. The current-voltage characteristics, the emission spectra of the plasma, and the dependence of the intensity of spectral lines (the amplitude of radiation bands) on the power that was pumped into the plasma based on mixtures of various compositions and pressures, as well as the radiation power in the spectral range from 200 to 390 nm, are studied. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 6, pp. 840–842, November–December, 2005.
