New approach for synthesis of poly(ethylglyoxylate) using Maghnite-H + , an Algerian proton exchanged montmorillonite clay, as an eco-catalyst
2017
International audience; In this works, we have explored a new method for a green synthesis of poly(ethylglyoxylate) (PEtG). This method consists on using a montmorillonite clay called Maghnite-H+ as an eco-catalyst to replace triethylamine which is toxic. Cationic polymerization experiments are performed in bulk conditions at three temperatures (-40 degrees C, 25 degrees C, 80 degrees C) and in THF solutions at room temperature (25 degrees C). At 25 degrees C, an optimum ratio of 5 wt% of catalyst leads to molar masses up to 22000 g/mol in THF solutions. Polymerizations in bulk conditions lead to slightly lower masses than experiments conducted in THF solutions. However, bulk polymerization…
Orientation of charged clay nanotubes in evaporating droplet meniscus.
2015
© 2014 Elsevier Inc. During drying, an aqueous suspension of strongly charged halloysite clay nanotubes concentrates at the edge of the droplet ("coffee-ring" effect) which provides alignment of the tubes along the liquid-substrate contact line. First, the surface charge of the nanotubes was enhanced by polyanion adsorption inside of the lumen to compensate for the internal positive charges. This increased the magnitude of the ξ-potential of the tubes from -36 to -81mV and stabilized the colloids. Then, colloidal halloysite was dropped onto the substrate, dried at 65°C and after a concentration of ~0.05mgmL-1 was reached, the alignment of nanotubes occurred starting from the droplet edges. …
Pomological, Sensorial, Nutritional and Nutraceutical Profile of Seven Cultivars of Cherimoya (Annona cherimola Mill)
2020
In this work, the food quality of four international (Campas, Chaffey, Fino de Jete and White) and three local (Daniela, Torre1 and Torre2) cultivars of Cherimoya (Annona cherimola Mill) was investigated. With this aim, pomological traits, sensorial attributes, physiochemical parameters (pH, total soluble content and total acidity), nutritional composition (macro- and micro-nutrients) and nutraceutical values (bioactive compounds, radical scavenging and antioxidant properties) were evaluated. Among the seven observed cultivars, Fino de Jete was identified as the best, not only for its commercial attributes such as pomological traits and physiochemical values, but also for its nutritional co…
Volumetric and transport properties of aerosol-OT reversed micelles containing light and heavy water
1992
Densities and viscosities of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT in-heptane system containing light and heavy water, as a function of the molar ratio R (R=[H2O or D2O]/[AOT]) were measured at 0, 5, 25 and 40°C. At low R values, the apparent molar volume of deuterium oxide is smaller than that of light water. The difference is related to the strength of the hydrogen bonding H2O and D2O. The viscosities of both H2O-AOT-n-heptane and D2O-AOT-n-heptane systems were explained in terms of intermicellar interactions mainly governed by hydration of the head groups of AOT.
Relations between the cohesive energy, atomic volume, bulk modulus and sound velocity in metals
2011
By analysing the experimental data available in the literature, it has been found that the bulk modulus B of metals is proportional to the cohesive energy density Ec/V. For metals which start to melt having the close packed structure A1 or A3 the proportionality factor in the forementioned correlation is distinctly greater than that for metals melting from the A2 type structure. The existence of the correlation between the bulk modulus and the cohesive energy density leads to another, hitherto unrevealed correlation between the sound velocity, cohesive energy and the molar mass of metals: u2 ~ Ec/μ.
The solubilisation behaviour of some dichloroalkanes in aqueous solutions of PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymers: a dynamic light scattering, fluorescenc…
2006
The aggregation behaviour of PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymers in water and in water + chlorinated additive mixtures was studied by means of fluorescence spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The copolymers were chosen such as to investigate the effects of molecular architecture (L35 and 10R5) and molecular weight by keeping constant the hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance (F88 and F108). 1,2-Dichloroethane was used as a prototype of water basins contaminants. The hydrodynamic radius of the block copolymer aggregates (R(h,M)) and the intensity ratio of pyrene of the first and the third vibrational band (I(1)/I(3)) were determined as a function of…
Solution behavior of 4-arm poly(tert-butyl acrylate) star polymers
2010
Abstract This paper reports the synthesis of 4-arm poly( tert -butyl acrylate) stars of different molar masses up to 10 6 g/mol by the “core-first” method using ATRP. All obtained stars have a monomodal and narrow molar-mass distribution ( The dilute-solution properties of these star polymers were investigated in good solvents (tetrahydrofuran and acetone). Gel permeation chromatography and dynamic and static light scattering were used to measure the hydrodynamic properties including intrinsic viscosity [ η ], radius of gyration R g , hydrodynamic radius R h , second virial coefficient A 2 and diffusion coefficient D 0 . These data were used to establish relationships between these paramet…
Total CO2output from Vulcano island (Aeolian Islands, Italy)
2012
[1] Total CO2 output from fumaroles, soil gas, bubbling gas discharges and water dissolved gases discharged from the island, was estimated for Vulcano island, Italy. The CO2 emission from fumaroles from the La Fossa summit crater was estimated from the SO2 crater output, while CO2 discharged through diffuse soil emission was quantified on the basis of 730 measurements of CO2 fluxes from the soil of the island, performed by using the accumulation chamber method. The results indicate an overall output of ≅500 t day−1 of CO2 from the island. The main contribution to the total CO2 output comes from the summit area of the La Fossa cone (453 t day−1), with 362 t day−1 from crater fumaroles and 91…
Über die bestimmung des zahlenmittels des molekulargewichts von polyoxymethylenen. 36. Mitt. Über polyoxymethylene
1968
Die Bestimmung des Zahlenmittels des Molekulargewichts (Mn) von Polyoxymethylenen durch Osmose, durch Kryoskopie, durch chemische und infrarotspektroskopische Endgruppenbestimmung und durch andere Methoden wird diskutiert. Osmotische Messungen in Phenol bei 90°C gelangen mit Cellophanmembranen besser als mit Glasmembranen. Kryoskopische Messungen nach RAST in Campher ergaben nur in Gegenwart eines Antioxydans zuverlassige Ergebnisse. Zur Endgruppenanalyse wurde vor allem die infrarotspektroskopische Bestimmung von Acetatgruppen weiterentwickelt; zur Auswertung wurde die Intensitat der Carbonylbande bei 5,70 μ in Beziehung gesetzt zu der CH2-Bande bei 6,8 μ und eine Eichung mit Hilfe des Chr…
