Methods Excised human skin was mounted in Franz-type diffusion cells. The samples withdrawn from the receptor cell were analyzed for osthol content by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results The enhancers azone,menthol and chenopodium increased the osthol percutaneous steady-state fluxes 3.12, 2.00 and 1.25 times those of the enhancer-free formulations (controls), separately. Conclusions The main enhancement mechanism of the skin penetration enhancers azone, menthol and chenopodium is to destroy the barrier function of stratum corneum, reducing the resistance of drug transport through the skin and increasing the diffusion coefficients of osthol.展开更多

The rheological behaviour of spinnable sol was characterized on rheometer, and the development of gel fibers to barium ferrite fibers was studied by IR, TG and XRD. Morphology observation of the fibers was given on SEM, and the diameter of the obtained fibers was between 5 and 10 um corresponding to different additives. The additives affected the surface tension of the precursor sol which had close relation to the microstructure of fibers. Sucrose and hydroxyethylic cellulose could improve the surface tension while diethanolamine and hexadecylamine reduce that of the decylamine as an additive, well-structured BaFe12O19 precursor sol. And using diethanolamine or hexafibers could be obtained.展开更多

The sol-gel synthesis involved addition of nickel chloride hexahydrate (NiCl2@6H2O) and ferrous chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2·4H2O) in ethanol followed by gelation using propylene oxide. The gels were aged, dried and calcined at 900 ℃in air or N2 environment. The powders thus obtained were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD). This analysis revealed a nominally phase pure Ni-ferrite (NiFe204) composition for the gels calcined in air, whereas those calcined in N2 environment exhibited primarily Ni04Fe2.604 composition mixed with metallic Ni. Particle size and specific surface area (SSA) of the ferrite powders were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brauner-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analyzer, respectively. The ferrites were placed in a packed bed reactor and water-splitting reaction was carried out at 700 ℃, 800 ℃, and 900 ℃. After water-splitting reaction, oxidized ferrites were regenerated at 900 ℃ for 2 h in N2 environment. Together water-splitting and regeneration steps designated as one thermochemical cycle. In four consecutive thermochemical cycles performed using NiFe204, an average of 40 mL of H2/g per cycle was generated at water-splitting temperature of 900 ℃, which was about five times higher than the average H2 produced at 700 ℃.展开更多

There are some changes factors in the human environment, such as temperature, pH. Therefore, the temperature sensitive hydrogels and pH sensitive hydrogels can release system for drugs in the body. So the paper detailed descript a novel MWCNTs good dispersion of PMAA/MWCNTs nano hybrid hydrogels. The introduction of MWCNTs significantly increased the hydrogel pH response and mechanical strength, and depends on the MWCNTs component ratio, particle size and concentration of cross-linking agent. The study found, swelling rate of hybrid hydrogels was faster than the pure PMAA hydrogel, and the swelling behavior were explained. The compression stress-strain experiments should be found, MWCNTs load transfer plays an important role in improving the mechanical properties of the hybrid hydrogels network compression.展开更多

However, it remains challenging to achieve nonswelling and underwater self-healing hydrogel sensors for the mechanical perception in aqueous solutions. Herein, a selfhealing and non-swellable hydrogel is successfully fabricated,which presents an automatically healing behavior in various aquatic environments, including deionized water, seawater,sweat, alkali and acidic aqueous solutions. Moreover, the hydrogel demonstrates high stretchability and stable electromechanical sensing properties in water. Furthermore, an electronic skin is designed with the features of fast responsiveness, reliability, and high sensitivity for detecting breathing, speaking, coughing, and diverse body movements. The self-healing hydrogel sensors enable a brilliant mechanical sensibility for detecting a series of dynamic stimuli in air and underwater, even after the healing of fracture interface in water. The underwater self-healing and anti-swelling hydrogel would provide enticing potential on various stable electronic devices for aquatic environments, such as implantable electrodes, triboelectric nanogenerators, and underwater soft robotics.展开更多

The results indicate that the volume fractions of porosity in po- rosity and hydration product phases of the samples with the same kind of mineral admixture are almost equal to each other, and are greater than that of the sample without mineral admixture. Mineral admixtures especially MK can decrease remarkably the volume fractions of CH in porosity and hydration product phases, and there exists a good linear relationship between the (AI+Si)/Ca molar ratio of cementitious materials chemical compositions and the volume fraction of HD C-S-H gel in C-S-H gel. Therefore, it is possible to predict the volume fraction change of HD C-S-H gel in C-S-H gel by simply calculating the (AI+Si)/Ca molar ratio of cementitious materials with similar 28-day strengths under the constant water-binder ratio.展开更多
