Abstract Phase behavior in the blend of -SO3H terminated polystyrene (PSS) with poly(n-butyl acrylate-co-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) containing 6.0 mol% N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (P1) is investigated by optical microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Comparing the miscibility of polystyrene/P1 blend, it is confirmed that the miscibility of the PSS/P1 blend is drastically improved by the hydrogen bonds between -SO3H and tertiary amino group. In addition, two-phase region of the PSS/P1 blend is split into two regions around the stoichiometric composition, in which the molar ratio of -SO3H to tertiary amino group is 1:1 stoichiometry. SAXS result shows that the PSS/P1 blend at stoichiometric composition forms a block copolymer-like aggregate and it takes a disorder state.

We have recently shown (‘Roy. Soc. Proc.,’ A, 1924, vol. 107, p. 80) that 1:2:3-triaminopropane forms co-ordination compounds with certain trivalent metals, such as cobalt and rhodium; these compounds are of the general type of bis -propanetriamine cobaltic chloride, [Co 2(NH 2 .CH(CH 2 .NH 2 ) 2 )] Cl 3 , in accordance with Werner’s theory of co-ordination. In these compounds the triaminopropane behaves in a similar way to ethylenediamine, each amino-group taking part in the formation of the co-ordinated radicle. It is thus seen that the grouping, NH 2 .CH 2 .CH.NH 2 , which is present twice in the triamino- propane molecule, behaves for co-ordination purposes in the same way as the molecule of ethylenediamine, NH 2 .CH 2 .CH 2 .NH 2 . This analogy in behaviour appears worthy of further investigation, and we have therefore studied the manner in which β β' β"-triaminotriethylamine, N(CH 2 .CH 2 .NH 2 ) 3 , co-ordinates with the metals; in this substance the grouping, NH 2 .CH 2 .CH 2 .N:, occurs three times, but it would seem that the presence of the three primary amino-groups has greatly diminished the basic properties of the tertiary amino-radicle, since Ristenpart (‘Ber.,’ 1896, vol. 29, p. 2530) obtained only salts in which the substance acts as a tribasic amine. It might thus be anticipated that co-ordinated salts of the type I would be formed.

Objective: A simple and sensitive extractive visible spectrophotometric method is developed for the assay of triprolidine hydrochloride using sodium nitroprusside. Methods: Based on color development with amino groups, presence, which is basic, may be due to the formation of inner complex replacing H2O by the tertiary amino group present in the drug. Results: The colored products exhibit absorption λmax at 447 nm. Regression analysis of Beer–Lambert plots showed good correlation in the concentration ranges (40–240) μg/ml and correlation coefficients are 0.994. The Sandell’s sensitivities 2.6373×10−2 (1 mole cm−1) and molar absorptivity value are 1.1938×104 (g cm−2). Recovery studies are found to be 99.708–99.786. Conclusion: The method can be applied successfully for the estimation of the drug in the presence of other ingredients that are usually present in formulations.

The solution properties and phase behavior of ammonium hexylene octyl succinate (HOS) was investigated in water and water-oil system. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of HOS is lower than that of anionic surfactants having same carbon number in the lipophilic part. The phase diagrams of a water/ HOS system and water/ HOS/ C10EO8/ dodecane system were also constructed. Above critical micelle concentration, the surfactant forms a normal micellar solution (Wm) at a low surfactant concentration whereas a lamellar liquid crystalline phase (La) dominates over a wide region through the formation of a two-phase region (La+W) in the binary system. The lamellar phase is arranged in the form of a biocompatible vesicle which is very significant for the drug delivery system. The surfactant tends to be hydrophilic when it is mixed with C10EO8 and a middle-phase microemulsion (D) is appeared in the water-surfactant-dodecane system where both the water and oil soluble drug ingredient can be incorporated in the form of a dispersion. Hence, mixing can tune the hydrophile-lipophile properties of the surfactant. Key words: Ammonium hexylene octyl succinate, mixed surfactant, lamellar liquid crystal, middle-phase microemulsion.

Porosity variations induced by swelling agent exchange were studied in a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. Standard methods were used in the characterization of copolymer porosity in the dry state and the results were compared with related structural parameters derived from small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements as developed for the characterization of two-phase systems. The SAXS method was also used for porosity determination in swollen samples. The differences in the porosity of dry samples were found to be an effect of the drying process, while in the swollen state the sample swells and deswells isotropically.

The enigmatic Bøggild intergrowth in iridescent labradorite crystals was revisited in light of recent work on the incommensurately modulated structures in the intermediated plagioclase. Five igneous samples and one metamorphic labradorite sample with various compositions and lamellar thicknesses were studied in this paper. The lamellar textures were characterized with conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). The compositions of individual lamellae were analyzed with high-resolution energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) mapping and atom probe tomography (APT). The average structure states of the studied samples were also compared with single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (SC-XRD). The Na-rich lamellae have a composition of An44–48, and the Ca-rich lamellae range from An56 to An63. Significant differences between the lamellar compositions of different samples were observed. The compositions of the Bøggild intergrowth do not only depend on the bulk compositions, but also on the thermal history of the host rock. The implications on the subsolidus phase relationships of the plagioclase feldspar solid solution are discussed. The results cannot be explained by a regular symmetrical solvus such as the Bøggild gap, but they support an inclined two-phase region that closes at low temperature.

The Schiff base condensation reaction of 1,2-diaminoethane with a series of 2-acetylcycloalkanones (from cyclopentanone to cyclooctanone) has been investigated and the products characterized by two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance. The site of attack of the amino groups, i.e., ring ketone or acetyl ketone, is determined primarily by ring size. 2-Acetylcyclohexanone yields two products in ca. 9:1 ratio, the major product where the two amino groups attack at the ring ketones of two different cyclohexanone molecules, and the minor product where one amino group attacks one ring carbonyl of one cyclohexanone while the second amino group attacks the acetyl group of another. 2-Acetylcyclopentanone yields all three possible products with the major product involving attack at the acetyl groups of two different cyclopentanones. The corresponding reactions for 2-acetylcycloheptanone and 2-acetylcyclooctanone each give a single product corresponding to attack at the acetyl groups of two different cycloalkanones. Similar product distributions are observed for the reactions of the different 2-acetylcycloalkanones with 1,4-diaminobutane. Keywords: Schiff base reactions, diketones, 2D NMR.

The prediction of phase equilibria for hydrocarbon/water blends in separators, is a subject of considerable importance for chemical processes. Despite its relevance, there are still pending questions. Among them, is the prediction of the correct number of phases. While a stability analysis using the Gibbs Free Energy of mixing and the NRTL model, provide a good understanding with calculation issues, when using HYSYS V9 and Aspen Plus V9 software, this shows that significant phase equilibrium uncertainties still exist. To clarify these matters, n-octane and water blends, are good surrogates of naphtha/water mixtures. Runs were developed in a CREC vapor–liquid (VL_ Cell operated with octane–water mixtures under dynamic conditions and used to establish the two-phase (liquid–vapor) and three phase (liquid–liquid–vapor) domains. Results obtained demonstrate that the two phase region (full solubility in the liquid phase) of n-octane in water at 100 °C is in the 10-4 mol fraction range, and it is larger than the 10-5 mol fraction predicted by Aspen Plus and the 10-7 mol fraction reported in the technical literature. Furthermore, and to provide an effective and accurate method for predicting the number of phases, a machine learning (ML) technique was implemented and successfully demonstrated, in the present study.

The equilibrium alloys closed to Mg-Nd side in the Mg-rich corner of the Mg-Zn-Nd system at 400°C have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy, electron probe microanalysis and X-ray diffraction. The binary solid solutions Mg12Nd and Mg3Nd with the solubility of Zn have been identified. The maximum solubility of Zn in Mg12Nd is 4.8at%, and Mg12Nd phase can be in equilibrium with Mg solid solution. However, only when the solubility range of Zn in 26at%~32.2at%, Mg3Nd can be in two-phase equilibrium with Mg solid solution. As the results, two two-phase regions as Mg+Mg12Nd and Mg+Mg3Nd and a three-phase region as Mg+Mg12Nd+Mg3Nd in Mg-Nd-Zn ternary isothermal section at 400°C have been identified.
