Dissolubility of Hydroxyapatlte Powder under Hydrothermal Condition

The dissolubility of hydroxyapatite(HA) in the hydrothermal solution was investigated in Mo-rey-type autoclave over a temperature range of 150 to 350℃ and the pH value range of 5 to 9. It is shown that the dissolubility of HA is determined as a function of temperature and time under a constant filling ratio of autoclave , and the temperature coefficient for the solubility of HA is positive. The equilibrium time attained in the hydrothermal solution is shortened with the increase of hydroihermal temperature, and the effect of temperature on the solubility is obviously stronger than that of pH value. The solubility data suggest that HA has higher dissolubility in the HA-H2 O system under the hydrothermal condition than that under the normal temperature-pressure.

Modification of PPTA by Adding N,N'-piperazineydiamme

High viscous PPTA copolymer is prepared by low temperature solution copolycondensation of terephth-aloylchloride, p-phenylenediamine and p, p'-diamino-phenylpiperazine in the NMP-CaCl2 solvent system. The inherent viscosity of all copolymers is more than 5. If more quantity of 3rd monomer is introduced into the macromolecular chain, the inherent viscosity becomes higher. The copolymer's ash content is less than 1000 μg/g. The heat durability of copolymer is close to that of PPTA, and its dissolubility is superior to that of PPTA.

Effect of trace Ni addition on microstructure,mechanical and corrosion properties of the extruded Mg-Gd-Y-Zr-Ni alloys for dissoluble fracturing tools

Magnesium alloys,a novel functional material for the fabrication of fracturing tools,are being paid more and more attentions recently due to their relatively high mechanical properties and fast dissolubility ability after fracturing.In this study,the novel extruded Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.3Zr-xNi alloys will be reported and their microstructure,mechanical and corrosion behaviors will be also studied.The results show that Ni contents influence phase precipitation behaviors.With adding 0.2 wt%Ni,a large amount of Zr_(7)Ni_(10)phases will be precipitated insidesα-Mg matrix,directly leading to degradation of strength and large corrosion rate.With further increasing Ni contents,the precipitation phases can be changed from Mg_(5)RE to 18R-LPSO structure,resulting in higher mechanical properties and faster corrosion rate.Moreover,adding Ni element also change the texture orientation by influencing the precipitation behavior of the alloys.The alloys invented in this paper have attained the highest compressive and tensile properties among all the reported dissoluble magnesium alloys.This work is beneficial in understanding the role of Ni in the magnesium alloys and provides more materials alternatives for the fabrication of dissoluble fracturing tools.

Supramolecular hybrid hydrogels as rapidly on-demand dissoluble,self-healing,and biocompatible burn dressings

Despite decades of efforts,state-of-the-art synthetic burn dressings to treat partial-thickness burns are still far from ideal.Current dressings adhere to the wound and necessitate debridement.This work describes the first“supramolecular hybrid hydrogel(SHH)”burn dressing that is biocompatible,self-healable,and on-demand dissoluble for easy and trauma-free removal,prepared by a simple,fast,and scalable method.These SHHs leverage the interactions of a custom-designed cationic copolymer via host-guest chemistry with cucurbit[7]uril and electrostatic interactions with clay nanosheets coated with an anionic polymer to achieve enhanced mechanical properties and fast on-demand dissolution.The SHHs show high mechanical strength(>50 kPa),self-heal rapidly in~1 min,and dissolve quickly(4-6 min)using an amantadine hydrochloride(AH)solution that breaks the supramolecular interactions in the SHHs.Neither the SHHs nor the AH solution has any adverse effects on human dermal fibroblasts or epidermal keratinocytes in vitro.The SHHs also do not elicit any significant cytokine response in vitro.Furthermore,in vivo murine experiments show no immune or inflammatory cell infiltration in the subcutaneous tissue and no change in circulatory cytokines compared to sham controls.Thus,these SHHs present excellent burn dressing candidates to reduce the time of pain and time associated with dressing changes.

Research on preservation and enrichment mechanisms of organic matter in muddy sediment and mudstone

Using multidiscipline methodologies, the differences in preservation and enrichment mechanisms of organic matter (OM) in muddy sediment and mudstone are investigated. In clay fractions, concentrations of TOC and chloroform bitumen “A” are significantly higher than those in coarser fractions. This indicates that clay minerals (CM) play an important role in enriching OM. The content of chloroform bitumen “A” increases obviously in the clay fraction, which reveals that dissolvable OM is the main composition of coalesce with clay minerals. Furthermore, TG and DTA data show that OM enrichment mechanisms and preservation forms have multiplicity. Several exothermic peaks in the DTA curves demonstrate that muddy sediment and mudstone contain a number of bioclasts and amorphous OM besides dissolvable OM. Through analyzing with XRD and DTA after mudstone samples were pretreated, the conclusions can be arrived at. Firstly, CM interlayer space of XRD curves and exothermic peaks of DTA curves both change as temperature increases. Secondly, the changes of CM interlayer space and exothermic peaks are concordant and stable around 350°C. All these are the features that OM enters CM interlayers to form stable organo-clay complexes. Therefore, the combination format of OM with CM is not only surface adsorption, partial OM enters CM interlayers to form stable organo-clay complexes. Finally, through the research on OM preservation forms and enrichment mechanisms in muddy sediment and mudstone, the hydrocarbon-generation processes and the global carbon cycle and budget can be explained.
