Transient photocapacitance study in 4-nitro-4′-aminodiphenyl layers

In 4-nitro-4-aminodiphenyl (NAD) layers the photocapacitance (PhC) transients were investigated. PhC spectral distribution as well as the temperature dependences of time constants (under/_on/or after/_off/illumination) have been measured. The photocapacitance spectral distribution possesses maxima at 350, 500, and 750 nm. It was shown that _on (T) is of exponential form while _off (T) is more complicated. The values of thermal activation energies (0.65±0.05) eV of both time constants coincide. The mechanism of photocapacitance process has been disclosed in NAD layers.

Thermal behaviour and degradation of a liquid crystalline alkylene-aromatic polyester: Poly(decamethylene-fumaroyl-bis-4-oxybenzoate)

The thermal behaviour and degradation of an alkylene-aromatic liquid crystalline polyester, poly(decamethylene-fumaroyl-bis-4-oxybenzoate), were studied by thermogravimetric analysis under dynamic conditions and by pyrolysis-gas chromatography and pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in the temperature range 450-650 °C. Among the degradation products detected, maleic anhydride, phenol, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and the corresponding decenyl ester were the most abundant. The type and the composition of the pyrolysis products gave useful information about the mechanism of thermal degradation. The polyester decomposition starts with a free-radical scission in the mesogenic fragment and continues with electrocyclic reactions in the spacer. The influence of fullerene C₆₀ addition and of the deuteration of the decamethylene spacer on thermal behaviour and degradation were investigated.     

分散剂分子结构特征对煤浆流变特性的影响

系统考察了具有不同分子结构特片系列分散剂对高浓度煤浆性质的影响。发现煤的成浆性、浆体的流变特性和稳定化作用与分散剂的分子结构特征密切相关。就本研究所涉及的分散剂种类和煤种而言，分散剂单体结构中多核芳烃结构所占比例较小时易于使浆体呈屈服假塑性，相反，则使浆体呈屈服胀塑性。分散剂单体的侧链结构对煤成浆性和浆体流变性的影响不很突出，而分散剂的第二单体结构的影响却非常显著。结果还同时表明，分散剂的高分散性能是导致浆体呈屈服胀塑性流体和弱化浆体稳定化作用的重要因素。     

Effect of the Electrode Material on the Reduction of La<Superscript>3+</Superscript> and Ce<Superscript>3+</Superscript> in Fluoride-Conducting Solid Electrolytes

The reduction of immobile cations La³⁺ and Ce³⁺ in fluoride-conducting solid electrolytes (FSE) LaF₃ (Eu²⁺ 0.8 mol %), LaF₃ (Sr²⁺ 5 mol %), and CeF₃ (Sr²⁺ 5 mol %) in contact with Ag, Bi, Si, La, Ce, and Sm working electrodes is studied by chronoamperometry and voltammetry with linear potential scan. Discovered is linear dependence of initial segments of potentiostatic transients of cathodic current on t ^1/2 at FSE interfaces with Ag, Bi, La, Ce, and Sm. The dependence is due to diffusion-controlled instantaneous nucleation of Ln and Ce. The La³⁺ and Ce³⁺ reduction at the FSE/Ag interface is reversible in a narrow region. The reduction and oxidation of La³⁺ and Ce³⁺ (cations of the FSE rigid lattice) at the FSE/Me (Me = La, Ce and Sm, Bi, Si) interface is irreversible and involves a chemical reaction.__________Translated from Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 5, 2005, pp. 662–672.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Turaeva, Kot, Urchukova, Murin.     

Phase transition in swollen gels 31. Swelling and mechanical behaviour of interpenetrating networks composed of poly(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) and polyacrylamide in water/acetone mixtures

Swelling and mechanical behaviour of interpenetrating positively charged polymer networks (IPNs), composed of poly(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) networks and polyacrylamide (PAAm) networks, was investigated in water/acetone mixtures. The first PVP networks were prepared by radiation polymerization at room temperature; after that the PVP networks were swollen in PAAm aqueous solutions and the networks were prepared by thermal copolymerization at 65 °C. The IPNs were prepared with various amounts of the two charged comonomers (quaternary ammonium salts) in the presence of crosslinkers. Two transition regions, detected in the dependence of swelling ratio X on acetone concentration a, suggest that a two-phase structure was formed. The first transition, located between 44 and 60 vol% of acetone, corresponds to PAAm networks, while the second transition, located at 75 vol% of acetone, corresponds to PVP networks. Depending on the amount of positive charges bound to chains, both transitions exhibit continuous or discontinuous character; this fact indicates that intermolecular interactions between the two components occur with the formation of IPNs (e.g., more polar, charged PVP component increases the extent of hydrogen bonding and makes acetone less effective solvent for IPNs at the PAAm transition). The dependences of log G on log X are roughly the same regardless of charge concentrations; this means that the mechanical behaviour is predominantly determined by the degree of swelling for all gels.     

Two New Regulatory Properties Arising from the Transient Phase Kinetics of Monocyclic Enzyme Cascades

Taking as starting point a previous contribution about the kinetics of the transient phase and steady-state of monocyclic enzyme cascades, this paper suggest the definition and use of new regulatory modification properties involving the time elapses from the onset of the reaction to the attainment of the steady-state for a monocyclic enzyme cascade. A minimal set of simplifying assumptions allowing to derive analytical expressions for these properties has been used. From these general expressions we derive, as particular cases, other simpler expressions by using additional assumptions which have, therefore, a smaller range of validity. A discussion of the relationships between the kinetic parameters and concentrations needed to the additional assumption is observed is carried out. The goodness of our analysis has been tested by using numerical integration of the set of differential equation describing the kinetic behaviour of the cascade. The results obtained for a type of cascade are extrapolable to other different schemes of monocyclic enzyme cascades. Finally, a kinetic data analysis and an experimental design are suggested     

Oxovanadium(IV) complexes of halogenated oxines

Summary Six VO²⁺ complexes of 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxine) and of some of its mono- and dihalogenated derivatives have been prepared. The complex of 5-chloro-oxine is very unstable and oxidizes rapidly, generating a V(V) complex of stoichiometry VO(QCl)₂OH which could also be prepared in pure form. The infrared spectra of all complexes have been recorded and are discussed in detail. The complexes containing halogenated ligands appear as polymeric species, interacting through V=O...V=O bridges. The magnetic moments, investigated at room temperature, indicate completely quenched orbital contributions. The analysis of the electronic spectra reveals very complex solution behaviour including, oxidation phenomena, ligand loss, and interaction with the solvent.

Oxovanadium(IV)-Komplexe von halogenierten Oxinen

Zusammenfassung Sechs VO²⁺-Komplexe von 8-Hydroxyquinolin (Oxin) und einige seiner mono- und dihalogenierten Derivate wurden dargestellt. Der Komplex des 5-Chloroxins erwies sich als besonders instabil und oxidiert sehr schnell unter Bildung eines V(V)-Komplexes der Stöchiometrie VO(QCl)₂OH, welcher auch in reiner Form dargestellt werden konnte. Die Infrarotspektren aller Komplexe wurden aufgenommen und werden eingehend diskutiert. Die Komplexe mit halogenierten Liganden erscheinen als polymere Spezies, welche über V=O...V=O-Brücken wechselwirken. Die bei Raumtemperatur gemessenen magnetischen Momente zeigen die totale Abwesenheit von Orbitalbeiträgen. Die Analyse der Elektronenspektren weist auf ein besonders kompliziertes Lösungsverhalten hin, welches Oxidationsphänomene, Ligandenabspaltung und Wechselwirkung mit den Lösungsmitteln einschließt.
