The thermal behaviour of three coordination compounds, potential precursors of nickel ferrite [Fe2Ni(C4H4O5)2.5(OH)2]NO3·5H2O,[Fe2Ni(C4H8O3N2)4](NO3)8·24H2O and (NH4)[Fe2Ni(C4H4O5)3(OH)3]·3H2O has been investigated to evaluate their suitability as precursors for nickel ferrite. For a complete and reliable assignment of the thermal transformations, the isolable solid intermediates and end products were characterized by IR, X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer investigations. A decomposition scheme is proposed. 相似文献
Thermal, thermomechanical, and caloric properties of commercial orthodontic wires (produced by Natural Orthodontics Corp., USA) with cylindrical and rectangular geometry were studied. Depending on the applied forces, there were identified the range of elasticity, the elasticity–viscoelasticity coexistence domain and the domain in which a maximum force of 18 N is applied, for the orthodontic wires. When increasing the thickness of orthodontic wires, deformation decreases. The Controlled Force Module, in the tension mode, was used for the determination of the orthodontic wires elongation at application of the stretching forces from 0 to 13 N, at 35 °C, maintaining each static force value for 3 min. The increase in the cross-sectional area of the orthodontic wires disfavors the process of elongation of the sample, at the same applied static force. Using the Multi-Frequency–Strain–Stress modulus, in the tension mode, DMA cyclic heating–cooling measurements were performed. The measured physical quantities for orthodontic wires were Storage Modulus, Loss Modulus, Tanδ and Stiffness, at heating and cooling. Thus, the characteristic temperatures of the phase transitions (As, Af, Ms, Mf), of all the studied orthodontic wires were identified. Also, the values of the elasticity modulus (Young’s Modulus) of the orthodontic wires were calculated at 35 °C. With the DSC Q200 device, using temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry method, a multi-step temperature variation program, was applied to a rectangular wire, in three stages (cooling–heating–cooling). Through the interpretation of heat fluxes (reversible, irreversible and total), the phase transitions in the formation of martensite, austenite, but also of the rombohedral phase (R-phase), were identified. Formations of austenite and martensite were also evidenced by the classical DSC method, but the classical DSC method also enabled the R-phase identification. The adherence of some food dyes on the orthodontic wires, as well as the modification of the surface roughness of the orthodontic wire after the deposition of the food dye, was also studied. By magnetic measurements, it was established that the orthodontic wires had paramagnetic properties at room temperature, and nitinol was a mixture of 49.2% austenite and 50.8% martensite.
This paper presents a study regarding the obtaining of NiCr2O4 by two new unconventional synthesis methods: (i) the first method is based on the formation of Cr(III) and Ni(II) carboxylate-type precursors in the redox reaction between the nitrate ion and 1,3-propanediol. The thermal decomposition of these complex combinations, at ~300 °C, leads to an oxide mixture of Cr2O3+x and NiO, with advanced homogeneity, small particles and high reactivity. On heating this mixture at 500 °C, Cr2O3 reacts with NiO to form NiCr2O4, which was evidenced by FT-IR and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) analysis; (ii) the second method starts from a mechanical mixture of (NH4)2Cr2O7 and Ni(NO3)2·6H2O. On heating this mixture, a violent decomposition at 240 °C with formation of an oxides mixture (Cr2O3 + CrO3) and NiO takes place. On thermal treatment up to 500 °C, an intermediary phase NiCrO4 is formed, which by decomposition at ~700 °C leads to NiCr2O4, evidenced by FT-IR and XRD analysis. NiCr2O4 is formed, in both cases, starting with a temperature higher than 400 °C, when the non-stoichiometric chromium oxide (Cr2O3+x) loses the oxygen excess and turns to stoichiometric chromium oxide (Cr2O3), which further reacts with NiO. 相似文献
The study reports the preparation of CoFe2O4/SiO2 nanocomposites by a new modified sol–gel method starting from cobalt nitrate, iron nitrate, and diols: 1,2-ethanediol (EG), 1,3-propanediol (1,3PG), and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), for final compositions of 30 %CoFe2O4/70 %SiO2 and 50 %CoFe2O4/50 %SiO2. The method is based on the formation of a Co(II), Fe(III)—carboxylate precursors mixture, during the redox reaction between the NO3? ion and the diol (~140 °C) within the silica gels. The thermal decomposition of these complex combinations takes place at ~300 °C leading to the corresponding amorphous metal oxides within the pores of the hybrid gels. Depending on the subsequent thermal treatment, CoFe2O4 can be obtained as single phase or in a mixture with Co2SiO4. The CoFe2O4 crystallites sizes are in the nanometer range (3–10 nm). The obtained nanocomposites have a hard magnet behavior, as a result of the high anisotropy of CoFe2O4 having large hysteresis cycles. 相似文献
Food safety and quality control pose serious issues to food industry and public health domains, in general, with direct effects on consumers. Any physical, chemical, or biological unexpected or unidentified food constituent may exhibit harmful effects on people and animals from mild to severe reactions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), unsafe foodstuffs are especially dangerous for infants, young children, elderly, and chronic patients. It is imperative to continuously develop new technologies to detect foodborne pathogens and contaminants in order to aid the strengthening of healthcare and economic systems. In recent years, peptide-based sensors gained much attention in the field of food research as an alternative to immuno-, apta-, or DNA-based sensors. This review presents an overview of the electrochemical biosensors using peptides as molecular bio-recognition elements published mainly in the last decade, highlighting their possible application for rapid, non-destructive, and in situ analysis of food samples. Comparison with peptide-based optical and piezoelectrical sensors in terms of analytical performance is presented. Methods of foodstuffs pretreatment are also discussed. 相似文献
Despite the advantages presented by synthetic polymers such as strength and durability, the lack of biodegradability associated with the persistence in the environment for a long time turned the attention of researchers to natural polymers. Being biodegradable, biopolymers proved to be extremely beneficial to the environment. At present, they represent an important class of materials with applications in all economic sectors, but also in medicine. They find applications as absorbers, cosmetics, controlled drug delivery, tissue engineering, etc. Chitosan is one of the natural polymers which raised a strong interest for researchers due to some exceptional properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, nontoxicity, non-antigenicity, low-cost and numerous pharmacological properties as antimicrobial, antitumor, antioxidant, antidiabetic, immunoenhancing. In addition to this, the free amino and hydroxyl groups make it susceptible to a series of structural modulations, obtaining some derivatives with different biomedical applications. This review approaches the physico-chemical and pharmacological properties of chitosan and its derivatives, focusing on the antimicrobial potential including mechanism of action, factors that influence the antimicrobial activity and the activity against resistant strains, topics of great interest in the context of the concern raised by the available therapeutic options for infections, especially with resistant strains. 相似文献
[2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]HgCl (1) was prepared by reacting HgCl2 with [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]Li in diethyl ether. The reactions of 1 with the sodium or ammonium salt of the appropriate thiophosphinato ligand, in 1:1 molar ratio, afford the isolation of [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]Hg[S(S)PR2] [R=Me (2), Et (3), Ph (4)], [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]Hg[S(O)PPh2] (5) and [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]Hg[S(S)P(OiPr)2] (6). The compounds were investigated by IR and multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C and 31P) spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 1 and 4 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Due to the strong intramolecular coordination of the N atom of the pendant CH2NMe2 arm [Hg(1)-N(1) 2.764(6) and 2.725(4) Å in 1 and 4, respectively] both compounds exhibit a T-shaped (C,N)HgX core in the molecular unit, with almost linear arrangement of the covalent bonds [C(1)-Hg(1)-Cl(1) 176.93(18)° in 1, and C(1)-Hg(1)-S(1) 169.54(16)° in 4]. The crystals of 1 contain discrete monomeric molecules, while the crystals of 4 contain dimer associations built through asymmetric bridging dithiophosphinato ligands [Hg(1)-S(1) 2.3911(16) Å, Hg(1)?S(2a) 3.102(2) Å], thus resulting in an overall pseudo-trigonal bipyramidal (or seesaw) (C,N)HgS2 core, with the nitrogen atom and the weekly bonded sulfur atom in equatorial positions [N(1)-Hg(1)?S(2a) 82.01(10)°]. 相似文献
