A series of ionic liquids consisting of 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium chloride (Pyr14Cl) and TaCl5 at molar ratios of Pyr14Cl in the range of 0.85 - 0.20 was synthesized. They exhibit potential application as electrolytes for the electrochemical deposition of tantalum. The thermal behaviour of the Pyr14Cl-TaCl5 mixtures was investigated, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to estimate the range of thermal stability and to determine the optimal compositions for electrochemical trials. The Pyr14Cl-TaCl5 mixtures formed stoichiometric 3 : 2 and 2 : 3 crystalline phases with melting points of 70 °C and 130 °C, respectively, characterized by entropies of fusion of 13.6 JK−1 mol−1 and 10.1 JK−1 mol−1. The mixtures with molar fractions of Pyr14Cl equal to 0.60 and 0.40 were clear and transparent liquids and had the lowest viscosity; they were the most suitable for electrochemical applications. FTIR spectra of the Pyr14Cl-TaCl5 mixtures allowed to get insight into inter-ionic interactions and the nature of formation of these ionic liquids as a function of the molar ratio of the components.

AbstractA series of acrylonitrile(AN)-methyl acrylate (MA) copolymers (AN/MA) with molar ratios of 100/0-70/30 were synthesized by water depositing polymerization. One to three percent of boric acid (BA) was adopted as a stabilizer to enhance the thermal stability of AN/MA. The copolymers and the mixtures of copolymers treated with BA were characterized by using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR), Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetry (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Optic Microscope. The results show that melting point (Tm), glass transition temperature (Tg) and crystallinity of the copolymer decreased while decomposition temperature (Td) increased with the increase of MA content. Tm of AN/MA dropped to 174 °C and Td rose up to 321 °C when 15 mol% MA was incorporated. It was worthy to note that Tm of the copolymers increased conspicuously after being treated with BA. Stability of AN/MA with a molar ratio of 85/15 containing 1 wt% BA improved remarkably. The mixture can be kept stable up to 30 min at 220 °C.

New thiol-functionalized carboxylate ionic liquids (ILs), varying both for the cation and for the anion structures, have been prepared as new potential redox switching systems by reacting either 3-mercapto propionic acid (3-MPA) or N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) with commercially available methyl carbonate ILs. Different ratios of thiol/disulfide ILs were obtained depending both on the acid employed in the neutralization reaction and on the reaction conditions used. Surprisingly, the imidazolium ILs displayed limited thermal stability which resulted in the formation of an imidazole 2-thione and a new sulfide ionic liquid. Conversely, the formation of the imidazole 2-thione was not observed when phosphonium disulfide ILs were heated, thus confirming the involvement of the imidazolium ring in an unexpected side reaction. An insight into the mechanism of the decomposition has been provided by means of DFT calculations.

AbstractThe interesting properties of stimuli-responsive polymers lead to a wide range of possibilities in design and engineering of functional material for the biomedical application. A systematic approach focused on the evaluation of the physical properties of multiresponse (pH and temperature) PNIPAM was reported in this work. The effect of three different molar ratios of poly(n-isopropylacrylamide): chitosan (1:49, 1:99 and 1:198) were evaluated and labeled correspondingly as PC1F, PC2F, and PC3F. An increase in the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of sample PC1F (34°C) was observed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The presence of low molecular weight chitosan (LMWC) full-interpenetrating polymer (Full-IPN) segments in poly(n-isopropylacrylamide) was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The hydrogel’s water capture was analyzed by two models of swelling, the power law model and a model that considers the relaxation of polymeric chains of the hydrogel, finding good correlations with experimental data in both cases. Sample PC3F resulted with higher swellability, increasing the weight of the hydrogel around seven times. Hydrogel pH-sensibility was confirmed placing the samples at different pH environments, with an apparent increase in swellability for acidic conditions, confirming the highest swellability for sample PC3F, due to hydrogen bonds boosted by chitosan high molar ratio. Based on these results, the hydrogel obtained has potential as a thermo-pH triggered hydrogel in drug delivery applications.

Synthetic C–S–H and C-A-S-H samples with different Ca/Si molar ratios (1.0 and 1.5) were prepared by precipitation from solution. The effects of incorporations of aluminum ion into C-S-H gels on their microstructure were studied by applying Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), BET nitrogen adsorption and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results show that in FTIR spectra, peaks nearing 970 cm-1 and 450 cm-1 wave number change obviously with the substitution of Al3+into C/S1.0 C-S-H. In BET diagram, it also can be found that the substitution of Al3+into C/S1.0 C-S-H lower the specific surface area. Furthermore, SEM graphs also show that the morphology change in C/S=1.0 C-S-H after the substitution of aluminum ion. However, little difference can be found in FTIR spectra and BET diagrams after Al3+ doped into C/S1.5 C-S-H. So, it can be concluded that the effects of the substitution of aluminum ion on the structure and morphology of C-S-H are affected by Ca/Si molar ratio

The syntheses of palmitic acids and a nonadecane are reported with CF2 groups located 1,3 or 1,4 to each other along the aliphatic chain. Specifically 8,8,10,10- and 8,8,11,11-tetrafluorohexadecanoic acids (6b and 6c) are prepared as well as the singly modified analogue 8,8-difluorohexadecanoic acid (6a). Also 8,8,11,11-tetrafluorononadecane (27) is prepared as a pure hydrocarbon containing a 1,4-di-CF2 motif. The modified palmitic acids are characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to determine melting points and phase behaviour relative to palmitic acid (62.5 °C). It emerges that 6c, with the CF2 groups placed 1,4- to each other, has a significantly higher melting point (89.9 °C) when compared to the other analogues and palmitic acid itself. It is a crystalline compound and the structure reveals an extended anti-zig-zag chain. Similarly 8,8,11,11-tetrafluorononadecane (27) adopts an extended anti-zig-zag structure. This is rationalized by dipolar relaxation between the two CF2 groups placed 1,4 to each other in the extended anti-zig-zag chain and suggests a design modification for long chain aliphatics which can introduce conformational stability.

A novel series of tricyanomethanide ionic liquids have been prepared and characterized for potential use as ionic liquid solvents. Full thermal analyses of all salts at ambient and sub-ambient temperatures are reported (melting points –17° to 160°C). The thermal stability and decomposition temperatures are also presented (Tdecomp ≈ 300°C). An electrochemical window of ~3 V has been established and the conductivity measured over a range of temperatures (20 mS cm–1 at 25°C).
