n-Pentanol exhibits some advantageous fuel properties, such as a higher energy density, lubricity, viscosity, and low hygroscopicity, when compared to short-chain alcohols. It is miscible with pure diesel in large proportions and burns directly on diesel engines. Therefore, n-pentanol is conside...

A new method for immobilization of some indicators with amino groups on triacetyl cellulose beds was applied for construction of an optical sensor for measurement of low pH values. Congo red was used as a pH indicator which was immobilized covalently on triacetyl cellulose via epichlorohydrin. T...

Converting CO2 into useful chemical materials has uniquely high value in both chemical and resource-oriented sense. In this work, several kinds of bifunctional polyacrylonitrile fiber catalysts were developed and applied to selectively catalyze the fixing of CO2 with epichlorohydrin. Compared to...

Functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) by crown ether moiety to attach Li+ in the cage of five oxygens is a useful tool to achieve 2D material for Li ion battery. The attachment of crown ether occurs only through the reaction with epoxy groups of GO. In the present work, epichlorohydrin is use...

DNA oligonucleotides containing site-specific N7-guanine monoadducts of cisplatin, diepoxybutane, and epichlorohydrin were used as templates for DNA synthesis by two bacterial DNA polymerases and human polymerase β. These polymerases were able to bypass the lesions effectively, although the eff...

Antimony is classified as a pollutant of priority importance by USEPA. We have earlier reported the synthesis of nano-titania impregnated epichlorohydrin crosslinked chitosan (TA-Cts-Epi) beads, in a format suitable for large scale applications with high sorption capacity for antimony. To unders...

Glycerol can be converted to valuable products such as epichlorohydrin which is an important intermediate applied in various industries. For example, dioxane derivatives, which are important pharmaceuticals, can be obtained from epichlorohydrin. In the present study, ZIF-8, ZIF-67, MIL-100, and ...

A polyamidoamine (PA) without introducing epichlorohydrin, and two epichlorohydrin-modified polyamidoamine (PAE) samples with solid contents of 12% (PAE-12) and 25% (PAE-25) were synthesized, and their short-term storage stabilities, evaluated at intervals of at least 3 months were assessed for ...

BF3·Et2O-catalysed O-glycosylation of 1,2,3-tri-O-acetyl-4,6-O-butylidene- and ethylidene-β-d-glucopyranose with different aliphatic and aromatic alcohols proceeds for the most part with complete retention of anomeric configuration. Antioxidant activity of O-glycosides shows significant inhibi...

Vitamin D appears to either promote or inhibit neovascularization in a disease context-dependent manner. The effects of vitamin D, alone or in combination with niacin, on endothelial cell (EC) angiogenic function and on revascularization in obese animals with peripheral ischemia are unknown. Her...

The objectives of this study were to apply response surface methodology to optimize fat-soluble vitamin loading in re-assembled casein micelles, and to evaluate vitamin D stability of dry formulations during ambient or accelerated storage and in fortified fluid skim milk stored under refrigerati...

Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with chronic inflammatory diseases. However, the mechanism by which vitamin D reduces obesity-related inflammation remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of vitamin D on palmitate-induced inflammatory response in mac...

The standard (p∘=0.1MPa) molar enthalpy of formation, of the 2,5-dibromonitrobenzene, in the crystalline phase, at T = 298.15 K, was derived from the standard massic energy of combustion, in oxygen, at T = 298.15 K, measured by rotating bomb combustion calorimetry. The Knudsen mass-loss effusio...

In our previous work, poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA) latex microspheres (LMs) were embedded within hydrogels to enhance their mechanical strength. Herein, acrylonitrile (AN) components were added to the latex system to prepare novel poly(butyl acrylate-acrylonitrile) (P(BA-AN)) LMs. LMs were able to...

Poly(n-alkyl acrylate)s can have side chains that crystallize independently of the main chain; side-chain length can thus be used as a tunable parameter to control the gas permeability of membranes. The gas permeation response of poly(n-alkyl acrylate) and poly(m-alkyl acrylate) blends as a func...

Oxygen inhibition is of great concern in radical photopolymerization. This research investigates the effects of polymerizable organoclays on oxygen inhibition of acrylate and thiol-acrylate systems. Without use of thiol monomers, oxygen inhibition is difficult to overcome, although adding acryla...

In this study, we have reported the synthesis of copolymers of poly(ethylene glycol) acrylate (PEGA) with methyl methacrylate (MMA) in various ratios which can be utilized as polymeric phase change materials (PCMs). The monomer reactivity ratio of PEGA copolymers was determined by Fineman-Ross m...

A study was made of characteristic effects of thermally reversible gelation on the dielectric properties, electrical conductivity, proton magnetic relaxation properties and self diffusion in the system polydecadecyl acrylate-n-decane with differing ratios of the components. It is shown that the ...

A novel form-stable phase change material (FSPCM), namely, diethylene glycol hexadecyl ether-grafted graphene oxide (E2C16-g-GO), was fabricated by an esterification reaction. As E2C16 was modified with GO for the first time, the optimal E2C16 and GO reactant ratio and reaction time were determi...

The rhizomes from Agropyron repens are traditionally used for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections. Extracts prepared with solvents of different polarity did not show any cytotoxic effects against different strains of uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) and human T24 bladder cells un...
