On the possibility of grafting conducting polymers into insulating ones

The possibility of grafting between conducting polymers, like polypyrrole (PPy) and polyaniline (PAn), and insulating polymers, such as polybisphenol A carbonate (PC) and polyamide (PA), is studied via semi-empirical methods using the AM1 parametrization. Several experimental studies on the issue have previously revealed that a chemical interaction exists between the couples (PAn-PC, PPy-PC and PPy-PA) during the electrochemical synthesis of PAn and PPy in the insulating host matrices. Here we present additional theoretical evidence indicating that such grafting is possible, at least for small oligomers

Hydrogen bonding in polyanilines

Hydrogen bonding between poly(bisphenol A carbonate) (PC) and polyaniline (PAn) is analyzed using semi-empirical quantum methodology. Fully optimized AM1 molecular orbital calculations are reported for various aniline structures (monomer, dimer and trimer), the monomer of the PC and the hydrogen-bonded model of PAn-PC oligomer

Determination of effective heat summation reqirements of stone fruits grown in Ankara conditions [Degişik turunçgil anaçlarinin washington navel ve moro kan portakal çeştlerinin meyve verim ve kalitesi üzerine etkileri]

In this study, the effects of some important citrus rootstocks such as local sour orange (Citrus aurantium L. var. "Brasilian"), Taiwanica (Citrus taiwanica Tan. and Shim.). Volcameriana (Citrus volkameriana Tan. and Pasq.), Rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush.). Yuzu (Citrus junos Sieb. ex. Ten.). Cleopatra mandarin (Citrus reshni Tan.) Benecke trifoliata (Poncirus trifoliata Raf. var. "Benecke"). Citrumelo 1452 (Poncirus trifoliata Raf. x Citrus paradis Macf. var. "1452"). Carizzo and Troyer citranges (Poncirus trifoliata Raf. x Citrus sinensis Osb. var. "Troyer" and "Carrizo") on fruit yield and quality of Washington Navel and Moro blood orange were investigated. The experiment was carried out during 1987-1994 at the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Çukurova on the trees planted as 7×7 m in "Citrus Rootstocks Trial Parcels" in 1982. Rootstocks effected significantly the fruit yuiled and the qualities of the cultivars. The highest fruit yields of Washington Navel orange were obtained from the trees on Carizzo citrange and Volkameriana, both of citranges effected positively on fruit quality of Washington Navel orange. Volkameriana effected negatively on the fruit quality, although the yield has been increased. Brasilian sour orange and Yuzu effected negatively on the fruit quality like Volkameriana. In consider of the yield of Moro blood, the best results were taken from the trees on Volkameriana, however the best fruit quality were determined on the citranges. Local sour orange and Yuzu effected negatively both of fruit yield and quality of Moro blood orange like Washington Navel

Effects of different rootstocks on yield and frutt quality of valencia and shamouti orange cultivars [Degişik turunçgil anaçlarinin valencia ve yafa portakal çeşitlerinin meyve verim ve kalitesi üzerine etkileri]

In this study, the effects of some important citrus rootstocks such as local sour orange (Citrus aurantium I. var. "Yerli"). Brazilian sour orange (Citrus aurantiam I. var. "Brasilian"). Taiwanica (Citrus taiwanica Tan. and Shim.). Volcameriana (Citrus volkameriana Jan. and Pasq.). Rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush.), Yuzu (Citrus junos Sieb. ex. Ten.). Cleopatra mandarin (Citrus reshni Tan.). Benecke trifoliata (Poncirus trifoliata Raf var. "Benecke"), Citrumelo 1452 (Poncirus trifoliata Raf × Citrus paradisi Macf var."1452"). Carrizo and Troyer citranges (Poncirus trifoliata Raf × Citrus sinensis Osb. var. "Troyer" and "Carrizo") on fruit yield and quality of Valencia and Shamouti oranges were investigated. The experiment was carried out during 1987-1994 at the Department of Horticulture. Faculty of Agriculture. University of Cukurova on the trees planted as 7 × 7 m in "Citius Rootstocks Trial Parcels" in 1982. Rootstocks had been found to have significative effects on fruit yield and quality. Troyer and Carrizo citranges for Valencia orange increased the fruit yield and has positive effect on the fruit quality. Although Rough lemon was observed as high yield rootstocks. but this rootstocks were found to be negative effect on fruit quality. Brazilian sour orange. Taiwanica and Yuzu made the most negative effect on fruit yield and quality. Carrizo citrange was found to be the best one for fruit yield of Shamouti orange. Carrizo citrange had the most positive effect on the fruit quality. However local sour orange and Cleopatra mandarin rootstocks had been a negative effect on the fruit yield. In addition. Yuzu had negative effect on the fruit quality

Synthesis, potentiometric titrations and antioxidant activities of some 4-acylamino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one derivatives

Five novel 3-alkyl-4-cinnamoylamino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (2) were synthesized by the reactions of 3-alkyl-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4- triazol-5-ones (1) with cinnamoyl chloride and characterized by elemental analyses and IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and UV spectral data. The newly synthesized compounds 2 were titrated potentiometrically with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in four non-aqueous solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, t-butyl alcohol, acetonitrile and N,N-dimethylformamide and the half-neutralization potential values and the corresponding pKa values were determined for all cases. In addition, these new compounds (except compound 2a) and five recently reported 3-alkyl-4-isobutyrylamino-4,5-dihydro- 1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (3) were screened for their antioxidant activities
