Sub-zero temperature behavior of water in non-ionic microemulsions

Sub-zero temperature DSC measurements were conducted to evaluate the behavior of water in non-ionic microemulsions. Two surfactant systems were studied. The first, based on ethoxylated fatty alcohol, octaethylene glycol monon-dodecylether [hereafter referred to as C₁₂(EO)₈] and also containing water, pentanol and dodecane at a fixed weight ratio of 1:1. The second system, based on oligomeric ethoxylated siloxanes, water and dodecanol as oil phase. In both systems it was found that in up to 30 wt.% of the total water content, all water molecules solubilize in the amphiphilic phase and are bound to the ethylene oxide (hereafter referred to as EO) head-groups. No free water exists in the surfactant aggregates’ core. Up to three molecules of water are bound to each EO group. In the first system, the behavior changes significantly upon adding more water. The added pentanol allows further swelling and the water penetrates into the amphiphile structures and forms a reservoir of free water. Structures are deformed and grow from elongated channels (up to 15–20 wt.% water), via illdefined (one-dimensional growth) local lamellar structures (up to ca. 60 wt.% water) to spherical normal, O/W micelles (at ≥85 wt.% water). In contrast, the oligomeric systems, due to geometrical restrictions of the amphiphiles and the nature of their curvature that prevents inversion, cannot further solubilize water in the surfactant aggregates’ core, causing phase separation to occur. Part of the results presented in this paper were included in S. E.’s doctoral thesis in Applied Chemistry at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.

Thermal evolution of ferromagnetic metallic glasses

A traditional TG apparatus was modified by placing two permanent magnets producing a controlled magnetic field (TG(M): Magneto Thermogravimetry). This technique proved to be useful to study both structural relaxation and crystallisation of ferromagnetic metallic glasses. Results obtained for the amorphous alloys Fe₄₀Ni₄₀P₁₄B₆ and Fe_62.5Co₆Ni_7.5Zr₆Nb₂Cu₁B₁₅, are reported in this paper. Structural relaxation can be evaluated by measuring changes in Curie temperature induced by thermal treatments. Crystallisation in TG(M) is detected through a change in the measured apparent mass (difference between the sample mass and magnetic force driving it upward). These results were confirmed by DSC analysis. Whether the obtained crystalline phase is ferromagnetic, it can be identified through its Curie temperature, measured by TG(M). In fact the value of 770°C measured as Curie temperature of crystallised Fe_62.5Co₆Ni_7.5Zr₆Nb₂Cu₁B₁₅led to conclude that the only ferromagnetic crystalline phase is a-Fe. These hypothesis was confirmed by XRD analysis, showing that the first crystallisation yields to a-Fe nanocrystals. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

有机溶剂与水溶液引入电感耦合等离子体电子密度和电子温度轴向分布的比较

为了研究有机ICP最佳分析条件与水溶液ICP明显不同的原因,本文在不同的等离子体操作条件下测量了Hβ486.133nm Stark变宽,分别计算了有机溶剂和水溶液引入1CP轴向的n_e和Te值,并进行了比较。有机溶剂引入ICP时,在固定的功率,观测高度及载气流量下其轴向ne和Te均比用水溶液引入时低一些。有机ICP的优异分析性能只有在比水溶液ICP有较高的入射功率和较低的载气流量条件下才能展现出来。

溶液酸度和反应温度对CaMoO4薄膜电化学制备的影响

本工作研究了恒电流电化学技术制备CaMoO₄薄膜工艺中，溶液酸度和反应温度对薄膜形成的影响。结果表明，酸度会影响薄膜的生长时间和光致发光特性，在较低酸度沉积薄膜时，容易造成薄膜的团簇生长和不确定相的形成；适当升高反应温度会加快晶粒的生长、提高薄膜的纯度、增加薄膜发射光谱的相对强度。在CaMoO₄薄膜电化学制备工艺中，溶液pH值控制在12.0附近和反应温度控制在60 ℃的左右比较好。     

Freezing temperatures and densities of solutions of some hydrocarbons and sodium oleate inN-methylacetamide. Evidence for a solvophobic interaction

The freezing temperatures and densities (at 31°C) of solutions of octane, nonane, decane, 3,3-diethylpentane, and sodium oleate inN-methylacetamide (NMA) have been measured. The molality of the freezing solution was calculated from the density. The solubilities of octane, nonane, and decane inN-methylacetamide are also reported. Apparent molal volumes calculated from the densities are close to the values in the pure hydrocarbons and are not strong functions of the concentration. This indicates the absence of any unusual packing effect. The calculated free energies of transfer of the hydrocarbons from pure hydrocarbon to NMA solution are much less negative than the corresponding values for water, showing that the bulk solvophobic interaction inN-methylacetamide is smaller than in water. This is consistent with the freezing temperatures of sodium oleate which show that micelles do not form below 0.1 mole-kg^–1. The osmotic coefficients of the hydrocarbons calculated from the freezing temperatures showed negative deviations from ideality that were larger for the hydrocarbons with the higher molecular weights. Two estimates of the pairwise solvophobic interaction inN-methylacetamide indicate that it is also smaller than in water. The solvophobic effect in this solvent does not include the large entropy and enthalpy effects found in aqueous solutions.     

Synthesis of multi-hydroxyl and sulfonyl dual-functionalized room temperature ionic liquids

Starting from the hydroxylamine (dimethyl amino ethanol, triethanolamine) and 1,3-propane sultone, a series of hydroxyl and sulfonyl dual-functionalized zwitterionic salts and corresponding acidic room temperature ionic liquids have been synthesized. The hydroxyl groups of the synthesized substances were confirmed by the 1H NMR measurement. These zwitterionic salts and ionic liquids may be used for synthesizing other functionalized ionic liquids or ionic liquid-polymer (polyelectrolyte).     

以国产微晶纤维素膜作固体基质五种多环芳烃的室温磷光法研究

本文考察了10种国产纤维素膜用于多环芳烃固体基质室温磷光(SS-RTP)的可行性。实验表明:MN-C和MN-P两种型号的微晶纤维素膜用于多环芳烃的SS-RTP是适宜的。阴离子交换纤维素膜、CM-纤维素膜和聚酰胺-6膜也能诱导出多环芳烃的RTP来,但其性能逊于前两种。故本文应用MN-C和MN-P两种微晶纤维素膜基质考察了五种多环芳烃的RTP特征,并建立了它们的SS-RTP新方法。并与用滤纸作基质的实验结果进行了比较,表明两种新的固体基质的RTP性能优于滤纸基质。
