Single crystals of copper succinate dihydrate (CSD) with triclinic structure were grown in silica gel medium. The functional groups in the crystal were analyzed by FT-IR Spectroscopy. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) revealed the striations on the surface of grown crystals, which were incorporated during its time of growth. Thermal degradation studies have been carried out by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Dielectric constant and AC conductivity have been estimated as a function of frequency at different temperatures.

Synthesized Materials

This study presents the preparation and the thermo-mechanical characteristics of polymeric blends based on di(meth)acrylates monomers. Bisphenol A glycerolate diacrylate (BPA.GDA) or ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) were used as crosslinking monomers. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) was used as an active solvent in both copolymerization approaches. Commercial polycarbonate (PC) was used as a modifying soluble additive. The preparation of blends and method of polymerization by using UV initiator (Irqacure® 651) was proposed. Two parallel sets of MMA-based materials were obtained. The first included more harmless linear hydrocarbons (EGDMA + MMA), whereas the second included the usually used aromatic copolymers (BPA.GDA + MMA). The influence of different amounts of PC on the physicochemical properties was discussed in detail. Chemical structures of the copolymers were confirmed by attenuated total reflection–Fourier transform infrared (ATR/FT-IR) spectroscopy. Thermo-mechanical properties of the synthesized materials were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric (TG/DTG) analyses, and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The hardness of the obtained materials was also tested. In order to evaluate the surface of the materials, their images were obtained with the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Chitosan Hydrogels

Chitosan hydrogels were prepared by crosslinking chitosan with glutaraldehyde. The swelling behaviour of the crosslinked and uncross-linked hydrogels was measured by swelling the gels in media of different pH and at different temperatures. The swelling behavior was observed to be dependent on pH, temperature and the degree of crosslinking. The gel films were characterized by Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The glass transition temperature (Tg) and the amount of free water in the hydrogels decreased with increasing crosslinking in the hydrogels.

Abstract Polyurethane (PU) pervaporation (PV) membranes are promising for the recovery of phenol from water. The four kinds of PU membranes, with hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) as a soft segment and diamine or β-cyclodextrin (CD) as a chain extender, were prepared. The structures and properties of these membranes were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and contact angle. Furthermore, the PV performances were investigated for separating phenol/water mixtures at different temperatures. The results showed that CD increased the permeability and selectivity of PU, at the same time. At 80°C, the total fluxes of pure PU membranes with HTPB (Mn=2500 g/mol) (H2500) and with HTPB (Mn=2000 g/mol) (H2000) were 6.96 kg μm m-2 h-1 and 6.09 kg μm m-2 h-1, respectively, while those of PU membranes containing CD with HTPB (Mn=2500 g/mol) (H2500-CD) and with HTPB (Mn=2000 g/mol) (H2000-CD) were 9.16 kg μm m-2 h-1 (increased by 31%) and 8.23 kg μm m-2 h-1 (increased by 26%), respectively. The separation factors of H2500 and H2000 were 23 and 34, while those of H2500-CD and H2000-CD were 33 (increased by 43%) and 40 (increased by 9%). Additionally, the modification of CD crosslinking was simple and easy with less modifying agent.

This work reported the electrostriction of polyurethane (PU) with different aggregations of hard segments (HS) controlled by dissimilar solvents: N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide and acetone denoted as DMSOA. By using atomic force microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, the PU/DMSOA was observed to have larger HS domains and smoother surface when compared to those of the PU/DMF. The increase of HS domain formation led to the increase of transition temperature, enthalpy of transition, and dielectric constant (0.1 Hz). For the applied electric field below 4 MV/m, the PU/DMSOA had higher electric-field-induced strain and it was opposite otherwise. Dielectric constant and Young’s modulus for all the samples were measured. It was found that PU/DMF had less dielectric constant, leading to its lower electrostrictive coefficient at low frequency. At higher frequencies the electrostrictive coefficient was independent of the solvent type. Consequently, their figure of merit and power harvesting density were similar. However, the energy conversion was well exhibited for low frequency range and low electric field. The PU/DMSOA should, therefore, be promoted because of high vaporizing temperature of the DMSOA, good electrostriction for low frequency, and high induced strain for low applied electric field.

Quinine (an antimalarial) and aspirin (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) were combined into a new drug–drug salt, quininium aspirinate, C20H25N2O2 +·C9H7O4 −, by liquid-assisted grinding using stoichiometric amounts of the reactants in a 1:1 molar ratio, and water, EtOH, toluene, or heptane as additives. A tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution of the mechanochemical product prepared using EtOH as additive led to a single crystal of the same material obtained by mechanochemistry, which was used for crystal structure determination at 100 K. Powder X-ray diffraction ruled out crystallographic phase transitions in the 100–295 K interval. Neat mechanical treatment (in a mortar and pestle, or in a ball mill at 20 or 30 Hz milling frequencies) gave rise to an amorphous phase, as shown by powder X-ray diffraction; however, FT–IR spectroscopy unambiguously indicates that a mechanochemical reaction has occurred. Neat milling the reactants at 10 and 15 Hz led to incomplete reactions. Thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry indicate that the amorphous and crystalline mechanochemical products form glasses/supercooled liquids before melting, and do not recrystallize upon cooling. However, the amorphous material obtained by neat grinding crystallizes upon storage into the salt reported. The mechanochemical synthesis, crystal structure analysis, Hirshfeld surfaces, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, FT–IR spectroscopy, and aqueous solubility of quininium aspirinate are herein reported.
