Influence of the e-beam irradiation and photo-oxidation aging on the structure and properties of LDPE-OMMT nanocomposite films

2012

Abstract In this paper two systems, polyethylene (LDPE) and polyethylene/commercial organo-modified montmorillonite (LDPE/OMMT) nanocomposite, were subjected to e-beam irradiation at different doses and both the molecular modifications and mechanical properties have been investigated through solubility, FT-IR, calorimetric and tensile tests. Moreover, in some of the irradiated systems photo-oxidation aging was performed and its effects were studied. The results show an enhancement with irradiation of the positive effect of the nano-filler loading, related to the increase of the mechanical properties, due to the increase of the nano-filler polymer interaction. Nevertheless calorimetric and F…

Stoichiometric and kinetic study of the 99Tc-DMSA complex obtained with stannous excess: A possible model for the physico-chemical behaviour of the r…

1982

A stoichiometric and kinetic study was made of the 99mTc-DMSA complex obtained in the presence of large amounts of Sn2+. It is demonstrated that the Tc oxidation state is 3+. It is established that the complex degrades to another one if there is an Sn2+ deficiency. These results were confirmed by spectroscopic and spectrophotometric methods.

Unravelling Radicals Reactivity Towards Carbon Nanotubes Manipulation/Functionalization

2016

Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) chemistry is under constant evolution, as a consequence of the deep interest of the scientific community in finding new applications for these versatile materials. New and old synthetic protocols are used for improving the control of the functionalization degree of the final materials and for offering to scientists the possibility to fine-tune their final properties. In this Review, we focus the attention on radical reactions, a class of protocols characterized by small number of steps, different degrees of functionalization and enhanced solubility of the final modified CNTs, in the desired environment. The most well-known protocols are analysed providing some releva…

Mechanisms of interference of p-diphenols with the Trinder reaction

2020

p-Diphenols, such as homogentisic acid, gentisic acid, etamsylate, and calcium dobesilate, interfere with diagnostic tests utilizing the Trinder reaction but the mechanisms of these effects are not fully understood. We observed substantial differences both in oxidation of p-diphenols by horseradish peroxidase and their influence on oxidation of 4-aminoantipyrine and various phenolic substrates. Homogentisic acid was rapidly oxidized by the enzyme and completely blocked chromophore formation. Enzymatic oxidation of the remaining p-diphenols was slow and they only moderately inhibited chromophore formation. However, in the presence of standard substrates all tested p-diphenols were rapidly co…

Crosslinking of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) activated by electrogenerated hydroxyl radicals: a first step towards a simple and cheap synthetic route of na…

2016

A facile electrosynthesis route for the preparation of polymer nanogels based on the in situ production of hydroxyl radicals is reported for the first time. Electro-Fenton process with continuous H2O2 electrogeneration and Fe2+ regeneration performs better than electro-oxidation with a boron-doped diamond or dimensionally stable anode for promoting crosslinking of poly(vinylpyrrolidone).

Anodic Oxidation as an Enabling Tool for the Synthesis of Natural Products

2020

Electrochemistry provides a valuable toolbox for organic synthesis and offers an appealing, environmentally benign alternative to the use of stoichiometric quantities of chemical oxidants or reductants. Its potential to control current efficiency along with providing alternative reaction conditions in a classical sense makes electrochemistry a suitable method for large-scale industrial transformations as well as for laboratory applications in the synthesis of complex molecular architectures. Even though research in this field has intensified over the recent decades, many synthetic chemists still hesitate to add electroorganic reactions to their standard repertoire, and hence, the full poten…

Electrifying Organic Synthesis

2018

Abstract The direct synthetic organic use of electricity is currently experiencing a renaissance. More synthetically oriented laboratories working in this area are exploiting both novel and more traditional concepts, paving the way to broader applications of this niche technology. As only electrons serve as reagents, the generation of reagent waste is efficiently avoided. Moreover, stoichiometric reagents can be regenerated and allow a transformation to be conducted in an electrocatalytic fashion. However, the application of electroorganic transformations is more than minimizing the waste footprint, it rather gives rise to inherently safe processes, reduces the number of steps of many synth…

Visible-light-induced oxidation of trans-ferulic acid by TiO2 photocatalysis

2012

Abstract The oxidation of trans-ferulic acid (C10H10O4) in aqueous TiO2 dispersion occurs via the formation of a charge-transfer complex on the TiO2 surface that is able to absorb visible light (λ ⩾ 400 nm). The main product is CO2, whereas secondary oxidation products are organic species such as vanillin, caffeic acid, homovanillic acid, and vanillylmandelic acid. Oxidation through the formation of a charge-transfer complex occurs only in the presence of specific TiO2 samples. Experiments in the absence of oxygen, in the presence of bromate ions and by using a phosphate-modified TiO2, have been carried out for investigating the reaction mechanism. In order to study the interaction between …

Über eine neue Methode zum Nachweis des als Primärprodukt der Autoxydation der Metalle Eisen, Nickel und Kobalt in Säure- und Salzlösungen gebildeten…

1971

H2O2 als Zwischenprodukt der Autoxydation (bzw. · OOH oder · OH) kann mit Hilfe der Phosphin-, Phosphinoxid- Methode bei Fe, Ni und Co wirksamer als mit Hilfe der Jodometrie erfast werden. In saurem Medium sind Tris-(m-aminophenyl)-phosphin (1), im alkalischen Bereich Tris-(p-carboxyphenyl)- phosphin (2) wirksame auch fur quantitative Bestimmungen geeignete Reagentien auf H2O2 · 1 und 2 reagieren bei hoheren Konzentrationen bis zu 20 ma1 schneller mit H2O2 als dieses mit der Eisengrenzflache. Ni und Co erzeugen mehr H2O2 als Fe. Bei Eisen entsteht im neutralen Medium mehr H2O2 als im sauren Bereich. Die unterschiedlichen Anfangsgeschwindigkeiten des Sauerstoffverbrauchs in sauerstoffhaltige…
