Radiation formation of polymeric nanogels

An alternative method of synthesis of polymeric nanogels is proposed, based not on polymerization, but on intramolecular crosslinking of polymer chains, initiated by pulse irradiation in dilute aqueous solutions. Kinetic data show that for many water-soluble polymers irradiation under these conditions result in intramolecular crosslinking. Preliminary product studies on poly(vinyl alcohol) indicate that in fact internally crosslinked macromolecules can be obtained by this technique.

The electrocatalytic examination of cephalosporins at carbon paste electrode modified with CoSalophen

The electrocatalytic oxidation of cephalexin and cefazolin has been studied at a carbon paste electrode modified with cobalt salophen (CoSal) by cyclic voltammetry. The selectivity of the carbon paste modified with CoSal in detecting cephalexin and cefazolin was examined. To suggest the electrocatalytic mechanism for electro-oxidation of cefazolin, the electrochemical behavior of ceftriaxone was investigated which has a thiol group out of the beta lactam ring. The electrocatalytic oxidation of these antibiotics is shown to be irreversible at the CoSal modified electrode. Scan rate dependence of cefazolin, which is a sulfur-containing compound, has been examined. The results indicated that the electrocatalytic oxidation of the compounds is diffusion controlled. The responses of the modified electrode were compared with those of unmodified electrode and it has shown that the modified electrode has better sensitivity than unmodified electrode to the detection of cefazolin. The overall number of electrons contributed to the oxidation of cefazolin is obtained 1 by chronoamperometry; the number of electron involved in the rate-determining step was 1. The results of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) using the modified electrode with high sensitivity were applied for the determination of cefazolin in human synthetic serum samples. The linear range was obtained from 1 × 10⁻⁵ to 1 × 10⁻³ M for DPV determination of cefazolin in buffered solutions (pH 3.0).     

Study of a Catalytic Mechanism in Additive Differential Pulse Techniques

The new electrochemical double pulse technique, known as additive differential normal pulse voltammetry (ADNPV) when there is no restriction on the duration of both pulses, and additive differential pulse voltammetry (ADPV) when t₂?t₁, has been applied to a pseudo‐first‐order catalytic mechanism. The expressions obtained here are applicable to planar and spherical electrodes, of any radius. This is of great interest since the size of the electrode plays an important role in the preponderating of diffusive and kinetics processes. The signal obtained with this technique presents the same morphological characteristics as the triple pulse technique, double differential pulse voltammetry (DDPV) and is more advantageous than DDPV and than the double pulse one, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV).

Determination of chlorite in drinking water by differential pulse voltammetry on graphite

The chlorite ion is an unavoidable by-product of the disinfection of drinking water by means of chlorine dioxide. The maximum concentration values of chlorite accepted in many countries regulations range from 0.2 to 1.0 mg L^–1. A simple, inexpensive and quickly set up voltammetric procedure for the on-site determination of chlorite in drinking water networks is described. This procedure is suitable for the whole range of applications in drinking water plants. A useful cell for on-field analysis has been developed. Surface morphology and behaviour of carbon-based working electrodes have been investigated by voltammetry and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Actual samples of different types of water networks have been analysed for chlorite concentration.     

Effect of high-voltage pulses on electrochemical properties of a molten magnesium electrolyte

Effects of high-voltage pulses on electrochemical properties of a molten magnesium electrolyte is studied experimentally. It is established that the electroconductivity of the melt subjected to the pulses and the electrolysis current at a constant voltage increase by up to 25%. The relaxation time of nonequilibrium melt reaches a few tens of minutes and under certain conditions its dynamics is oscillatory.     

Differential Pulse Voltammetric Simultaneous Determination of Four Anti‐Inflammatory Drugs by Using Soft Modelling

An application of a partial least squares calibration method for the simultaneous voltammetric determination of indomethacin, acemethacin, piroxicam and tenoxicam is suggested. It was shown that it is possible to resolve complex mixtures of analytes even when they have strongly overlapped signals. In order to check the proposed method, statistical analysis of the results was performed by mean of hypothesis tests. The method developed was applied to the electrochemical reduction region of four anti‐inflammatory drugs and allowed the drugs to be quantified at concentrations between 0.52 and 4.09 μg mL^?1 for acemethacin, 0.44 and 3.50 μg mL^?1 for indomethacin, 0.43 and 3.40 μg mL^?1 for piroxicam, and 0.42 and 3.30 μg mL^?1 for tenoxicam with good results. The average absolute value of relative errors was 2.25%, 4.31%, 1.68% and 2.49%, respectively.     

Voltammetric studies on the interactions between camazepam metabolic series and human serum albumin. Determination of oxazepam using adsorptive stripping voltammetry

The behaviour of oxazepam in adsorptive stripping voltammetry was studied taking into account those conditions which have an influence on the accumulation step (electrolyte, pH, time, potential, drop size and stirring rate), rest time and stripping step (pulse amplitude and scan rate). Oxazepam can be determined at a hanging mercury drop electrode by differential-pulse voltammetry in 0.008 M Britton-Robinson buffer at pH 2.0 with a ?0.50 V accumulation potential. Its detection limit was found to be 3.6 × 10^?10 M (30-s accumulation) and the relative standard deviation for oxazepam concentrations in the range 2.8 × 10^?8?4.0 × 10^?7 M is lower than 2.8% (80-s accumulation). In addition, a procedure using adsorptive stripping voltammetry was developed to study the interactions occurring between human albumin and the camazepam metabolic series (camazepam, temazepam and oxazepam). The interactions decreased in the order temazepam ? oxazepam ? camazepam and the groups and structural modifications favouring interaction were determined.     

Reaction mechanism studies on isoquinoline with hydroxyl radical in aqueous solutions

The reaction mechanism between isoquinoline and ·OH radical in aqueous dilute solutions under different conditions was studied by pulse radiolysis. The main characteristic peaks in these transient absorption spectra were attributed and the growth-decay trends of several transient species were investigated. Under neutral or alkaline conditions, the reaction of ·OH radical and isoquinoline produces OH-adducts with respective rate constants of 3.4 × 10⁹ and 6.6 × 10⁹ mol⁻¹ · dm³ · s⁻¹ while under acidic conditions, the isoquinoline was firstly protonated and then ·OH added to the benzene ring and produced protonated isoquinoline OH-adducts with a rate constant of 3.9 × 10⁹ mol⁻¹ · dm³ · s⁻¹. With a better understanding on radiolysis of isoquinoline, this study is of help for its degradation and for environmental protection. __________ Translated from Journal of Fudan University (Natural Science), 2006, 45(6): 774–778 [8BD1;81EA: 590D;65E6;5B66;62A5;(自然科学版)]
