Ionic liquids represent a class of highly tunable organic compounds responsible for many applications in the domain of wood-based materials. It has often been emphasized that the use of ionic liquids derives from their high affinity for lignocellulose and their good penetration ability into wood structures. This paper discusses the sorption ability of different types of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquids with lateral alkyl chains, ranging from ethyl to hexyl into spruce and beech wood, as a function of their cation molecular mass, anion type (chloride, tetrafluoroborate, acetate), and intrinsic properties (surface tension and kinematic viscosity) at room temperature. All the studied ionic liquids present high relative uptake values at the equilibrium, ranging from 11.2% to 69.7%. The bulk diffusion coefficients of the ionic liquids into the wood range from 2 × 10−3 to 28 × 10−3 mm2/min, being higher in the longitudinal direction for both types of wood. The value of the diffusion coefficients for 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride is only 25% lower than that for water, despite the obvious differences in viscosity and surface tension, demonstrating a good penetration ability and the potential for wood industry-related applications (as impregnation compound carriers and preservatives).

Ferrocene (FcH) derivatives monosubstituted by palmitoyl (1), hexadecyl (2), 1-adamantoyl (3) or 1-adamantylmethyl (4) groups were sythesized and characterized by NMR, mass and 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy. The structure of 1-adamantoylferrocene was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Cyclic voltammetry on gold and glass-like carbon electrodes demonstrated that the compounds can serve as electrochemical standards for special cases since their ferrocene/ferricinium redox potential remains stable and reversible, while the properties such as solubility, diffusion coefficients and surface tension are strongly solvent-dependent.

The permeability coefficients of dog red cell membrane to tritiated water and to a series of[14C]amides have been deduced from bulk diffusion measurements through a "tissue" composed of packed red cells. Red cells were packed by centrifugation inside polyethylene tubing. The red cell column was pulsed at one end with radiolabeled solute and diffusion was allowed to proceed for several hours. The distribution of radioactivity along the red cell column was measured by sequential slicing and counting, and the diffusion coefficient was determined by a simple plotting technique, assuming a one-dimensional diffusional model. In order to derive the red cell membrane permeability coefficient from the bulk diffusion coefficient, the red cells were assumed to be packed in a regular manner approximating closely spaced parallelopipeds. The local steady-state diffusional flux was idealized as a one-dimensional intracellular pathway in parallel with a one-dimensional extracellular pathway with solute exchange occurring within the series pathway and between the pathways. The diffusion coefficients in the intracellular and extracellular pathways were estimated from bulk diffusion measurements through concentrated hemoglobin solutions and plasma, respectively; while the volume of the extracellular pathway was determined using radiolabeled sucrose. The membrane permeability coefficients were in satisfactory agreement with the data of Sha'afi, R. I., C. M. Gary-Bobo, and A. K. Solomon (1971. J. Gen. Physiol. 58:238) obtained by a rapid-reaction technique. The method is simple and particularly well suited for rapidly permeating solutes.

Surface Liquid

The average thickness and distribution of airway surface liquid (ASL) on the luminal surface of peripheral airways were measured in normal guinea pig lungs frozen at functional residual capacity (FRC) and total lung capacity (TLC). Tissue blocks containing cross sections of airways of internal perimeter 0.188–3.342 mm were cut from frozen lungs and imaged by low-temperature scanning electron microscopy (LTSEM). Measurements made from LTSEM images were found to be independent of freezing rate by comparison of measurements at rapid and slow freezing rates. At both lung volumes, the ASL was not uniformly distributed in either the circumferential or longitudinal direction; there were regions of ASL where its thickness was < 0.1 micron, whereas in other regions ASL collected in pools. Discernible liquid on the surfaces of airways frozen at FRC followed the contours of epithelial cells and collected in pockets formed by neighboring cells, a geometry consistent with a low value of surface tension at the air-liquid interface. At TLC airway liquid collected to cover epithelial cells and to form a liquid meniscus, a geometry consistent with a higher value of surface tension. The average ASL thickness (h) was approximately proportional to the square root of airway internal perimeter, regardless of lung volume. For airways of internal perimeter 250 and 1,800 microns, h was 0.9 and 1.8 microns at FRC and 1.7 and 3.7 microns at TLC, respectively. For a given airway internal perimeter, h was 1.99 times thicker at TLC than at FRC; the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01; 95% confidence interval 1.29–3.08).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Coupled Diffusion

A grain boundary interdiffusion in a semi-infinite bicrystal under the conditions of negligible bulk diffusion is considered. We show that the inequality of intrinsic grain boundary diffusion coefficients of the two components leads to plating out of additional material at the grain boundary in the form of extra material wedge, which generates an elastic stress field in the vicinity of the grain boundary. We solved a coupled diffusion/elasticity problem and determined the time-dependent stress field and concentration distribution in the vicinity of the grain boundary.
