Über die verzweigung von polydodecylmethacrylat
1970
Zur Untersuchung der Losungseigenschaften und des Ausmases der Verzweigung von radikalisch gewonnenem Polydodecylmethacrylat wurden Fraktionen von niedrig- und hochumgesetzten Praparaten im Molekulargewichtsbereich von 1,5·105 bis 8·106 auf ihr Molekulargewicht und ihre Knaueldimension hin vermessen. Die Methoden der Lichtstreuung, der Viskosimetrie, der Sedimentation in der Ultrazentrifuge, der Osmometrie und der Gelchromatographie wurden benutzt. Fur die Streulichtmessungen diente ein Eigenbaulichtstreuungsgerat, das wegen seines grosen Winkelmesbereiches eine recht genaue Festlegung der Anfangssteigung der Streukurve und damit des Tragheitsradius ermoglicht. Das Quadrat des Tragheitsradi…
Nonlinear response of a batch BZ oscillator to the addition of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate.
2007
The response of the Belousov-Zhabotinsy (BZ) system to the addition of increasing amounts of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was monitored at 25.0 degrees C in stirred batch conditions. The presence of SDS in the reaction mixture influences the oscillatory parameters, i.e., induction period and oscillation period, to an extent that depends on the surfactant concentration. The experimental results have shown that the induction period increases slightly on increasing surfactant concentration and, then, a further increase in the [SDS] leads to an enhancement while the oscillation period increases monotonously on increasing SDS concentration. It has been proposed that the re…
Liquid structure of a water-in-salt electrolyte with a remarkably asymmetric anion
2021
Water-in-salt systems, i.e., super-concentrated aqueous electrolytes, such as lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (21 mol/kgwater), have been recently discovered to exhibit unexpectedly large electrochemical windows and high lithium transference numbers, thus paving the way to safe and sustainable charge storage devices. The peculiar transport features in these electrolytes are influenced by their intrinsically nanoseparated morphology, stemming from the anion hydrophobic nature and manifesting as nanosegregation between anions and water domains. The underlying mechanism behind this structure-dynamics correlation is, however, still a matter of strong debate. Here, we enhance the apol…
Thermo-responsive hydrogels from cellulose-based polyelectrolytes and catanionic vesicles for biomedical application.
2016
In this study, negatively charged catanionic vesicles/hydrophobically modified hydroxyethylcellulose polymers thermo-responsive hydrogels have been fabricated. Vesicular aggregates were found to act as multifunctional junctions for networking of modified-cellulose water solutions. The contributions of the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions were evaluated by changing either vesicles composition or the polymer hydrophobic substitution. Thermal-induced size and lamellarity of hydrogel-enclosed vesicles were detected, with further polygonal shape changes induced by cellulose-based polymer addition. The thermal transition was also found to tune hydrogel mechanical behaviour. The network …
Local regularity for quasi-linear parabolic equations in non-divergence form
2018
Abstract We consider viscosity solutions to non-homogeneous degenerate and singular parabolic equations of the p -Laplacian type and in non-divergence form. We provide local Holder and Lipschitz estimates for the solutions. In the degenerate case, we prove the Holder regularity of the gradient. Our study is based on a combination of the method of alternatives and the improvement of flatness estimates.
Conductance of potassium halides near the temperature of maximum density of water
1981
The conductances of dilute aqueous solutions of KCl, KBr, and KI have been measured over the temperature range 2 to 8°C and have been analyzed by the Fuoss-Hsia equation. The ionic Walden products at infinite dilution have been discussed in terms of local viscosity. The temperature dependence of these products suggest that near the temperature of maximum density of water, the structure-breaking ability of these ions changes in a regular way.
Rheological study and thermodynamic analysis of the binary system (water/ethanol): Influence of concentration
2004
Water is the most widely used solvent in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, since it is the most physiological and best tolerated excipient. However, in some cases water cannot be used as a solvent because the active substance or solute is insoluble or only slightly soluble in water. For this and other reasons, nonwater solvents may be used possessing the common characteristic of being soluble or mixable in water; as a result, such solvents can be used to prepare binary or tertiary mixtures, etc., with different purposes such as increasing water solubility, or modifying the viscosity or absorption of the dissolved substance, for example. Ethanol, along with other alcohols either alon…
Extended Investigation of the Aqueous Self-Assembling Behavior of a Newly Designed Fluorinated Surfactant
2009
The physicochemical behavior of the newly synthesized fluorinated 5-hydroxyamino-3-perfluoroheptyl-1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-one (PFHO) surfactant was investigated. Thermal analysis showed that the pure surfactant is thermally stable under an inert atmosphere to 135 degrees C, which is several degrees higher than the melting point (99 degrees C). PFHO is rather active at the water/air interface where it assumes a standing up configuration. It exhibits an enhanced self-assembling behavior; accordingly, the critical micellar concentrations at some temperatures are 2 orders of magnitude lower than those of a similar surfactant having the same phobicity, such as sodium perfluorooctanoate. Even in the d…
Continuous fractionation of poly[(dimethylimino)decamethylene bromide] and molecular weight dependence of the glass transition
1995
30 g of the ionene poly[(dimethylimino)decamethylene bromide] were fractionated by a continuous counter-current extraction method (CPF) using ethylene glycol monoethyl ether as the solvent and diisopropyl ether as the non-solvent component. The efficiency of the separation was checked by viscometry and gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) measurements. Eight fractions of different molar mass were prepared for differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments. With bromide as counter-ion, the glass transition temperature of the ionene increases from ca. 60 to 85°C as the intrinsic viscosity of this material (in 0,4 M aqueous solutions of KBr at 25°C) rises from ca. 14 to 22 mL/g. When bromi…
Viscous Synergy of Pure Monoalcohol Mixtures in Water and Its Relation to Concentration
2004
Pure or aqueous alcohols are the solvents most widely used in industry, including in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products. However, water–alcohol mixtures generate hydrogen-bonded molecular associations that lead to volume contraction and an increase in viscosity greater than that expected in the absence of any interaction between the components of the mixture. This phenomenon is referred to as viscous synergy. The present study investigates viscous synergy in monoalcohol systems containing up to five carbon atoms, since beyond hexanol all alcohols are practically insoluble in water. In all cases, determinations were made of the proportions of water and alcohol for which…
