Electrophoretic deposition of semiconducting polymer metal oxide nanocomposites and characterization of the resulting films
Conducting polymer nanocomposites composed of metal oxides and polythiophene was synthesized by chemical polymerization in colloidal suspensions. The electrochemical and photoelectrochemical properties of such nanocomposites have been studied. For these investigations films of nanocomposites were prepared by an electrophoretic deposition process. The deposition process was studied in greater detail and kinetic details were determined. The high voltage electrophoretic deposition process was combined with a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Then the films were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and photocurrent spectroscopy
Some Characteristics And Allopurinol Release Of Carrageenan/ Allopurinol Films Using Polyethylene Oxide As A Dispersion Aid Agent
This paper presents the effect of carrageenan (CG) on some characteristics and drug release of allopurinol in the presence of polyethylene oxide (PEO) as a dispersion aid agent. The samples were prepared in film shape by solution method, in which, the content of PEO was changed from 1 wt.% to 5 wt.% and the content of allopurinol was fixed at 10 wt.% in comparison with carrageenan weight. FTIR , FESEM, UV-Vis methods were used to evaluate characterizations and morphology of CG/PEO/allopurinol films
Synthesis and characterization of polythiophenes from hydrazone derivatives sidegroups
Polythiophenes with various substituted hydrazone side groups were synthesized using a chemical oxidative coupling reaction. Analyses of IR and NMR spectra confirmed the expected structure of new synthesized polymers and confirmed suitability of the suggested synthetic route. Surface properties, morphology and thermal stability of the prepared polymers were studied by SEM and TGA methods. Two derivatives were found to have a good solubility in several water-miscible solvents. They can be used as active materials in electrochromic and electronic devices
PHOTO-SENSITIVE LAYERS FORMED FROM POLYMETHYLTHIOPHENE/TiO2NANOCOMPOSITES
Nanocomposites of polymethylthiophene (PMT) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2)were prepared in core-shell structure, via chemical oxidative polymerization of methylthiophene in the presence of FeCl3catalyst. The electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique was adopted to prepare the nanocomposite films on ITO plates. Then photoelectrochemical properties of the PMT/TiO2nanocomposite were investigated. Results showed the photo-sensitive properties of TiO2core (n-type semiconductor), PMT shell (p-type semiconductor) and their n-p junction
EFFECT OF FISH SCALE COLLAGEN ON SOME CHARACTERISTICS AND DRUG RELEASE OF CARRAGEENAN/COLLAGEN/ALLOPURINOL FILM
ABSTRACT - QMFS2019Collagen from fish is attracting a lot of attention thanks to its high absorbance ability, biocompatibility as well as non-religious obstruction and cheap sources. It could be applied in many fields, for example: food, cosmetic, or biomedicine. Using of collagen also helps to reduce the environment pollution from fish scale waste in fish processing. In this study, collagen extracted from Vietnamese fresh-water tilapia fish scales was used in combination with carrageenan for the improvement of drug release control. The influence of fish scale collagen content on morphology, thermal behavior and drug release from carrageenan/collagen/allopurinol composite film was evaluated by methods such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). From the DSC data, FESEM analysis and drug release of carrageenan/collagen/allopurinol composite films, the most suitable collagen in composite film is 5 wt.%
Green synthesis and crystal structure of 3-(benzo-thia-zol-2-yl)thio-phene.
The title compound, C11H7NS2, was prepared in high yield (87%) using a solvent-free microwave-assisted synthesis. The structure shows whole-mol-ecule disorder with occupancies for two orientations (A and B) of 0.4884 (10) and 0.5116 (10), respectively. The thio-phene and benzo-thia-zole rings are almost planar and make dihedral angles of 10.02 (18) and 12.54 (19)° for orientations A and B, respectively. Slipped π-π stacking between the aromatic rings, together with C-H⋯π, C-H⋯S and C-H⋯N inter-actions, result in a herringbone motif in the crystal packing
Current-Voltage characteristics of polymethylthiophene/TiO2 nanocomposite cells
Titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO2) were combined with polymethylthiophene (PMT), giving nanocomposites in core-shell structure via chemical polymerization. In this work, the current - voltage characteristics of sandwich cells composed from such nanocomposite have been studied. For these investigations films of nanocomposites were prepared by electrophoretic deposition (EPD)
A THEORETICAL STUDY ON CHEMICAL BONDING AND INFRARED SPECTRA OF SinM (M = Sc, Y; n = 1-10) CLUSTERS
In this paper, we applied the B3P86 method and DGDZVP basis set to investigate electronic properties and infrared (IR) spectra for SinM (M = Sc, Y; n = 1-10) clusters. The NBO analyses show that electron transfers from the dopant atoms to silicon frame of the SinM clusters. It is remarkable that the Si-M bond is mainly formed by the overlaps of the 3s-AOs and 3p-AOs of Si atoms, and 3d-AOs and 4s-AOs of Sc (or 4d-AOs and AO-5s of Y). The chemical bonds in the SiM and Si2M clusters are dominated by the covalent character including sigma and pi bonds. In addition, the analysis of the IR spectra suggests that the vibrational modes of SinM clusters are delocalized over the whole cluster. Moreover, the high-frequency and strong-intensity modes usually involve the vibrations of the dopant atoms. The results of this work provide fundamental information for experimental studies on transition-metal doped silicon clusters
Crystal structure of (<i>E</i>)<i>-N</i>'-[1-(4-amino-phen-yl)ethyl-idene]-2-hy-droxy-5-iodo-benzohydrazide methanol monosolvate.
In the title compound, C15H14IN3O2·CH3OH, two aromatic rings are linked by an N-substituted hydrazide function. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 10.53 (8)°. The stereochemistry about the imine function is E. The methanol mol-ecule forms an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond to the hydrazide O atom. In the crystal, chains of mol-ecules running along the c-axis direction are formed by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Adjacent chains are linked through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions. The inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal packing were investigated using Hirshfeld surface analysis, which indicated that the most significant contacts are H⋯H (38.2%), followed by C⋯H/H⋯C (20.6%), O⋯H/H⋯O (11.1%) and I⋯H/H⋯I (9.7%)
