Characteristics of haloethylene-induced acetonemia in rats.
1980
A series of halogenated ethylenes (vinyl chloride, vinylidene fluoride,cis- andtrans-1,2-dichloroethylene, perchloroethylene) induces increased acetone exhalation in rats. Exposures of differently pre-treated rats to vinylidene fluoride suggest that a metabolite of the haloethylene must be envolved in eliciting this formation of acetone. This conclusion is based on (a) dependence of acetone exhalation on the concentration of vinylidene fluoride, (b) effect of inducing agents, (c) effect of pyrazol, a metabolic inhibitor, (d) effect of cysteine, (e) effect of hypoxia and (f) the time course of acetone exhalation.
Green determination of the presence of volatile organic compounds in vehicle repair shops through passive sampling.
2012
A simple, fast and green direct analytical methodology has been developed to evaluate the concentration level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor areas of vehicle repair shops using membrane devices as passive samplers. VOCs retained in the samplers were directly determined without any sample pre-treatment and avoiding the use of solvents by head space (HS) coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in only 20 min. Benzene, toluene, tetrachloroethene, m,p-xylene and o-xylene were found at concentration levels from 0.1 to 11.2 mg m(-3).
Investigation of thermal stability of ethylene copolymers with POSS - Study under static and dynamic conditions
2018
Abstract In the paper there was studied thermal stability of a series of ethylene copolymers with monoalkenylsiloxy- or monoalkenylsilsesquioxanes (POSS) under dynamic and static conditions. The copolymers proved to be more thermally stable than neat polyethylene and neat silsesquioxane comonomers. The kind and the content of the POSS units significantly affected degradation of the copolymers. Thermal oxidation process resulted in structural changes of the (co)polymers as it was evidenced by the variations in the kind and content of carbonyl, as well as by unsaturated end groups. Depending on the structure of the POSS comonomer incorporated into the polymer chain, the silsesquioxane units o…
Relations frequency hypermatrices in mutual, conditional and joint entropy-based information indices.
2012
Graph-theoretic matrix representations constitute the most popular and significant source of topological molecular descriptors (MDs). Recently, we have introduced a novel matrix representation, named the duplex relations frequency matrix, F, derived from the generalization of an incidence matrix whose row entries are connected subgraphs of a given molecular graph G. Using this matrix, a series of information indices (IFIs) were proposed. In this report, an extension of F is presented, introducing for the first time the concept of a hypermatrix in graph-theoretic chemistry. The hypermatrix representation explores the n-tuple participation frequencies of vertices in a set of connected subgrap…
Thermogravimetric analysis. A tool to evaluate the ability of mixtures in consolidating waterlogged archaeological woods
2010
Waterlogged archaeological woods (Pinus pinaster, Ulmus cf. minor and Fagus sylvatica L.) were consolidated by using Colophony, Rosin 100, and a mixture of Poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) 3000 and Poly(propylene) glycol (PPG) 425. The efficiency of the consolidants was estimated by determining the content entrapped into the cavity of degraded wood. For this purpose, thermogravimetry was demonstrated to be a reliable tool. In the case that the polymeric mixture was used for impregnation, it was also possible to discriminate the amount of PEG 3000 from that of PPG 425 captured by the wood capillaries. Regardless of the wood nature, all the consolidants were present in treated samples in large amo…
One step grafting of monomethoxy poly(ethylenglycol) during synthesis of maghemite nanoparticles in aqueous medium
2008
Abstract Grafting of silanated monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (m-PEG) onto maghemite nanoparticles surface in aqueous medium through one step procedure was investigated. The major characteristic of this work is that the grafting of m-PEG was produced during the synthesis of maghemite nanoparticles. The maghemite nanoparticles were characterized by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), zeta potential measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The spinel structure of maghemite nanoparticles was verified and successful grafting of m-PEG was evid…
Thermal and thermo-oxidative stability of reprocessed poly(ethylene terephthalate)
2013
An exhaustive assessment of the behaviour of virgin and mechanically reprocessed poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) facing thermal and thermo-oxidative decomposition processes is presented in this work, as an approach for the energetic valorisation of post-consumer PET goods. Multi-rate linear-non-isothermal thermogravimetric (TGA) experiments under inert (Ar) and reactive (O2) conditions were performed to virgin PET and its recyclates in order to simulate the thermal behaviour of the materials facing pyrolysis and combustion processes. The release of gases was monitored by evolved gas analysis of the fumes of the TGA experiment, by in-line Fourier-transform infrared (IR) analysis, with the…
High-nuclearity Ni-substituted polyoxometalates: a series of poly(polyoxotungstate)s containing 20–22 nickel centers.
2011
Three high-nuclearity Ni-substituted polyoxotungstates (POTs)--[Ni(enMe)2(H2O)2]2[Ni(H2O)6]2[Ni(enMe)2][Ni(H2O)2]1.5[HNi20X4W34(OH)4O136(H2O)6(enMe)8]·11 H2O (3), [Ni(en)2(H2O)]2[H8Ni21X4W34(OH)4O136(en)10(H2O)5]·22 H2O (4), and [Ni(enMe)2]2[H6Ni22X4W34(OH)4O136(H2O)6(enMe)10]·18 H2O (5), in which en = ethylenediamine, enMe = 1,2-diaminopropane, X = 0.5 P+0.5 Ge--were made under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structures of 3–5 can be viewed as novel derivatives of [H6Ni20P4W34(OH)4O136(enMe)8(H2O)6]·12 H 2O (1) and [Ni(en)2(H2O)]2[H8Ni20P4W34(OH)…
Modification of polyoxymethylene for increased thermal resistance
2017
Ternary nanocomposites, composed of polyoxymethylene (POM), ethylene octene copolymer and zinc oxide (ZnO), are prepared by melt compounding. The effects of two types of ethylene-octene copolymers, differing with α-octene content (38% for EOC38 and 17% for EOC17), as well as nanostructured ZnO on thermal behavior of POM are investigated. The content of EOC in the POM based composites is varied between 10 and 50 wt%, while the content of ZnO is 2 wt%. Thermal behavior of POM based systems are studied by using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Results of thermogravimetric analysis show that, by rising either …
Supramolecular diversity and magnetic properties of novel heterometallic Cu(II)/Cr(III) complexes prepared from copper powder, Reineckes salt and eth…
2009
Abstract Three novel heterometallic complexes [Cu(en) 2 Cr(NCS) 4 (NH 3 ) 2 ][Cr(NCS) 4 (NH 3 ) 2 ] · 6dmf ( 1 ), [Cu(en) 2 Cr(NCS) 4 (NH 3 ) 2 ](OAc) ( 2 ) and [{Cu(en) 2 } 3 {Cr(NCS) 4 (NH 3 ) 2 } 2 (NCS) 2 ](NCS) 2 ( 3 ) have been synthesized in a one-pot reaction from copper powder, Reineckes salt, NH 4 X [X − = OAc − ( 2 ), NCS − ( 3 )] in a dmf ( 1 ) or CH 3 CN ( 2 , 3 ) solution of ethylenediamine (en). X-ray studies showed that 1 and 2 consist of cationic polymeric chains, formed by Cu ( en ) 2 2 + and Cr ( NCS ) 4 ( NH 3 ) 2 - building blocks that bridged through thiocyanate anions. In both complexes, distinct hydrogen bonds are present and serve to increase the dimensionality of …
