聚合物驱蚊剂的慢释放研究

本文研究了丙烯酸酯共聚物载体对驱蚊剂N,N-二乙基间甲苯酰胺(DETA)慢释放行为的控制,探讨了单体配比、共聚物分子量以及DETA含量对释放速率的影响。结果表明。增加亲水性单体丙烯酸(AA),可提高DETA的释放速率;降低共聚物数均分子量,会减少DETA的释放量;剂型中DETA含量与释放量存在线性正比关系,但DETA的含量增加并不导致释放有效时间的线性增加。本文还就共聚物膜的透湿性和碱溶性作了研究,亲水性单体AA的增加同样导致透湿性和碱溶性的增加。制备的聚合物驱蚊剂经现场应用试验,表明具有良好的长效驱蚊特性。     

Excess heat capacities and orientational order in systems containing hexadecane isomers of different molecular structure

Using the Picker flow microcalorimeter, excess heat capacities have been obtained at 25°C throughout the concentration range for 2,2-dimethylbutane,n-hexane, and cyclohexane each mixed with a series of hexadecane isomers of increasing degrees of orientational order, as determined by depolarized Rayleigh scattering. The isomers are 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane, 6-, 4-, and 2-methylpentadecane, andn-hexadecane. Thec _p ^E values are negative, increasing rapidly in magnitude with increase of orientational order, and are not predicted by the Prigogine—Flory theory which neglects order. Values ofc _p ^E are obtained at 10, 25, and 55°C for cyclohexane +6-, 4-, and 2-methylpentadecane which with other literature data lead to the temperature dependence of the thermodynamic excess functions for cyclohexane solutions of the five C₁₆ isomers. The excess enthalpy and entropy vary with the C₁₆ isomer and with temperature, but the corresponding variation of the excess free energy is small, indicating a high degree of enthalpy-entropy compensation. This is consistent with a rapid decrease with temperature of orientational order in the C₁₆ isomers.     

Mathematical Modeling of Multicomponent Nonisothermal Adsorption in Sorbent Particles Under Pressure Swing Conditions

A detailed model for nonisothermal sorption of multicomponent mixtures in a single sorbent particle (monodisperse or bidisperse with negligible intracrystalline mass transport limitations) under pressure swing conditions is developed in this study. The dusty-gas model is used to describe the coupling of the molar fluxes, the temperature, the partial pressures and the partial pressure gradients of the components in the pore space of the particle. The variations of the temperature are described by an energy equation in which both convective and conductive modes of heat transport are accounted for. No limitations are imposed on the number of the components in the mixture and on the type of the adsorption isotherm. The model is applied in the investigation of the industrially important air-zeolite 5A system. Two cases with respect to the surrounding gas phase are examined: infinite environment, which is representative for single particle experiments, and finite environment, which is representative for the situation in packed bed adsorbers. It is found that in an infinite environment the external and internal temperature gradients are equally important while in a finite environment the external heat transport limitations are negligible. It is concluded that in modeling the nonisothermal operation of adsorption processes occurring in packed beds it is not necessary to allow for the temperature differences between the gas phase and the surface of the adsorbing particles. Furthermore, if the temperature gradients within the particles can be neglected, only a single temperature equation is needed to describe the energy transport in the bed.     

Heat capacity of alcohols in aqueous solutions in the temperature range from 5 to 125°C

Using a precise technique of scanning microcalorimetry the heat capacity differences between water and dilute aqueous solutions of ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol and n-pentanol were measured from 5 to 125°C and the partial molar heat capacities of these substances in water were determined. It was found that the heat capacity increment for alcohol disolved in water is proportional to the number of the-CH ₂ ^– groups and decrease with a temperature increase. The heat capacity increment of hydration of non-polar groups is shown to be positive and large at room temperature and decreases in magnitude as the temperature increases. In contrast, the heat capacity increment of hydration of polar groups is negative at room tempreature and increases as the temperature increases. From the temperature dependence of the heat capacity increment one can assume that the water molecules solvated by the non-polar groups of the alcohols behave in a non-cooperative manner.     

DSC study of cold and heat denaturation processes of β-lactoglobulin A with guanidine hydrochloride

The cold and heat denaturations of bovine P-lactoglobulin A ((β-lg A) has been studied in solutions of guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCI) by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The experimental results are presented and discussed. It is shown that the number of protons bound by the monomeric molecules of β-lg A was unchanged before and after its heat denaturation below pH 3, and that the activation energy of the heat denaturation was depressed owing to the presence of GuHCI. In the solutions with 2.50 and 3.06 mol/L of GuHCI, both the cold and heat denaturations of P-lg A were observed. In comparison with the heat denaturation, the activation energy of cold denaturation was far lower and the number of GuHCl molecules bound by the unfolded polypeptide chains after culd denaturation increased a lot. The absolute value of the enthalpy of cold denaturation was larger than that of heat denaturation. It was found by the analysis that the contribution to the total denaturational enthalpy of conformational change itself of the monomeric molecules of β-lg A was the lowest among the globulins, according to the average of the number of heavy atoms.

The specific heat of the ferroelectric phase transition in N(CH3)4CdBr3

The specific heat of N(CH₃)₄CdBr₃ from 50 to 300 K has been measured by adiabatic calorimetry, using both static and dynamic methods. The obtained results have permitted a careful study of the ferro-paraelectric phase transition the crystal shows at 160 K. The available spectroscopic data have been used to generate a reliable baseline which accounts for the normal lattice contribution to the specific heat. These results allow for an accurate estimation of the phase transition thermodynamic functions: ΔH=2620 J·mol^?1 and ΔS=18.04 J·(mol°C)^?1. These high values are in agreement with the predictions of the 6 well potential Frenkel model.     

Effect of the medium pH on the release of secondary metabolites from roots ofDatura stramonium,Catharanthus roseus,andTagetes patula cultured in vitro

The release of alkaloids from root culturesDatura stramonium andCatharanthus roseus and thiophenes from root cultures ofTagetes patula was found to increase when the pH of the culture media (ranging from 4.8 to 7.0) was reduced to 3.5. The extent of the effect was different in each type of culture. Increases ranged from 4- to 20-fold, which in some cases accounted for 75% of the total secondary metabolite pool produced per flask. When the release of individual metabolites was measured, even larger increases, were observed (nearly 400-fold for ajmalicine). Increased release of alkaloids fromC. roseus roots were also observed in cultures growing in a 14-L fermentor, when the medium pH was reduced. Reduction of the pH of the media did not affect growth of the root cultures in subsequent subcultures. The importance of this treatment as a stategy to improve the recovery of secondary metabolites from producing cultures is discussed.     

Thermal conductivity of the urea-hexadecane inclusion compound

The thermal conductivity and the heat capacity per unit volumec _p have been measured for the urea-hexadecane inclusion compound using the transient hot-wire method. Measurements were made under isobaric conditions at a pressure of 0.1 GPa and in the temperature range of 100–300 K. There was evidence for a phase transition at a temperature of about 160 K, in reasonable agreement with previous work. For the high-temperature phase was independent of temperature within ±1%. The low-temperature phase showed a weak temperature dependence, with (d In/d InT) _p = –0.13. It was inferred that interaction between acoustic phonons and low-frequency vibrational excitations of the guest molecules made a major contribution to the thermal resistivity. For the quantityc _p a weak maximum was observed in the region of the phase transition temperature.Dedicated to Dr D. W. Davidson in honor of his great contributions to the sciences of inclusion phenomena.     

Wärmekapazitätsmessungen Nach Scanning-Methoden Bis Zu Hohen Temperaturen

Scanning calorimetric methods permit determination of heat capacities at high temperatures up to 1600°C. For disk systems with power compensation application limits are in order of 700°C, and for cylindrical systems with electrical calibration up to 1000°C. For the high temperature range above 1000°C DSC plates and a cylindrical calorimetric systems based on the CALVET principle ('MULTI HTC’) are known. For cylindrical calorimetric systems the precision of the Cp data is between 2 and 5% even at high temperatures without any requirements on the kind and shape of samples. These results are better than data provided by DSC plate systems. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
