Chemical composition and reaction analysis of single aerosol particles

In situ measurements of gas-liquid surface reactions of single aerosol microdroplets are presented. By means of optical levitation in combination with elastic (Mie) and inelastic (Raman) light scattering it is possible to get information on the chemistry of e.g. acid/base reactions as well as the physical behavior of single microparticles.     

THE ENERGY ASPECT OF THE RECIPROCAL INTERACTIONS OF PAIRS OF TWO DIFFERENT VIBRATION MODES OF A CLAMPED ANNULAR PLATE

The standardized mutual active and reactive sound power of a clamped plate, representing the energy aspect of the reciprocal interactions of two different in vacuo modes, has been computed. It was assumed that the vibrations are axisymmetric, elastic and time harmonic, the plate's transverse deflection is small as compared with the plate's size, and that the vibration velocity is small as compared with the acoustic wavenumber generated. The Kirchhoff-Love theory of a perfectly elastic plate was used. The integral formulae for the mutual sound power were transformed into their Hankel representations which made possible their subsequent computation. A closed path integral was used to express the integral in its Hankel representation to compute the mutual active sound power. The asymptotic stationary phase method was used to compute the two magnitudes, i.e., the mutual active and reactive sound power. The results obtained are the asymptotic formulae valid for the acoustically fast waves. The oscillating as well as the non-oscillating terms have been identified in the formulae to make possible their further separate analysis. The availability of the asymptotic formulae makes possible some fast numerical computations of the mutual sound power. Moreover, the formulae presented herein, together with those for the individual modes known from the literature, make a complete basis for further computations of the total sound power of the plate's damped and forced vibrations in fluid.     

Reissert compound studies. Cyclization of N-(ω-chloroalkanoyl)reissert compounds

Treatment of 2-(4-chlorobutanoyl)- and 2-(5-chloropentanoyl)-1, 2-dihydroisoquinaldonitrile with sodium hydride gave rise to tricyclic benzoquinolizone and azepino[1,2-α]isoquinoline derivatives. A similar reaction was observed in the quinoline series. Several reactions of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-oxo-11bH-benzo[α]quinolizine-11b-carbonitrile are reported.     

One-step cleanup for PAH residue analysis in plant matrices using size-exclusion chromatography

A new one-step cleanup procedure, based on size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), usable for the extracts from accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), Soxhlet extraction, or ultrasonic extraction (USE), is described. The method is suitable for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), especially from very complicated plant matrices (e.g. pine needles, deciduous leaves, mosses). The main improvement compared with previous conventional procedures is that analyte peaks barely overlap with matrix peaks in the chromatograms and that it is a very rapid and simple one-step procedure with clearly improved analytical performance. Essential advantages of this SEC procedure are the sharper GC-MS chromatograms for the PAH fraction at retention times between 9.2 and 12.0 min, distinctly separated substance peaks resulting in better analysis, shorter running times, and lower solvent consumption.     

Pfropfcopolymerisation von Cellulose mit zwei Vinylmonomeren

Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt eine Beschreibung von Experimenten dar, die die Erhöhung der Pfropfbereitschaft von trägen Komponenten durch Beimischung von aktiveren zum Ziele hatten.Das Trägermolekül war in allen Fällen Cellulose in Form von hochgradig gereinigtem Zellstoff. Durch die Verwendung von Mischsystemen aus Styrol und Methylmethacrylat gelang es, das trägere Styrol in bedeutend größerer Menge auf die Cellulose aufzupfropfen, als es bei Abwesenheit des aktiven Methylmethacrylats der Fall war.

Grafting Polymerization of Cellulose with Two Vinyl Monomers

This paper describes experiments to increase the grafting of cellulose with components of poor reactivity by mixing them with highly reactive ones. A highly purified wood pulp was used as backbone. Using combinations of styrene and methyl methacrylate it was possible to graft considerably higher amounts of the poorly reacting styrene than in the absence of the highly reactive methyl methacrylate.
