The synthesized CdSe nanoribbons are usually several micrometers in width, 50 nm in thickness, and tens to several hundred micrometers in length. Studies have shown that high-quality CdSe nanoribbons with regular shapes can be obtained by this method. Room-temperature photolumines-cence indicates that the lasing emission at 710 nm has been observed under optical pumping (266 nm) at power densities of 25-153 kW/cm^2. The full width half maximum (FWHM) of the lasing mode is 0.67 nm展开更多

The results indicate that the ground sulfonated ring associations can form in both the micromolecules and the macromolecules. The fluorescence spectra of the sulfonated crosslinked copolymers appear a red-shift when the copolymers change from hydrogen-type to sodium-type, and some new emission bands appear in the long-wavelength region. These results are explained in terms of synergetic effect of hydrogen bond,π-πinteraction and crosslinking effect.展开更多

Possible drug-excipient interaction was evaluated by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) and FTIR (fourier infrared spectroscopy). The tablets prepared were assessed for their physicochemical, in vitro dissolution at pH 1.2, 4.5, 6.8 and 7.5 and stability characteristics. Comparison with a commercial aceclofenac product was made in vitro and in vitro studies. There was no interaction between aceclofenac and used excipients. Furthermore, the physicochemical properties of the tablets were satisfactory. The dissolution profile of one of the formulated aceclofenac tablets (D07) was statistically similar (p 〈 0.05) to that of the commercial aceclofenac brand in all the dissolution media. The formulated products ware stable and showed no changes in physical appearance, drug content, or dissolution pattern after storage at 40 ℃/75% RH for 6 months. The results indicate that it is feasible to achieve a stable aceclofenac tablet formulation by using wet granulation technique.展开更多

Hydrous minerals contain hydrogen which occupies a specific structural position and constitutes an indispensable component of chemical formulae. On the other hand, nominally anhydrous minerals do not contain hydrogen in their chemical formulae, but can host trace amounts of water in structural position and lattice defect. The molecular water may occur in the lattice defect as fluid/melt inclusions in minerals. Even though the water content of nominally anhydrous minerals is very limited generally in the order of ppm(parts per million), they may play a significant role in influencing the physicochemical properties of mineral and rock systems. With the continuous improvement of modern instrumentations, the analytical methodology exhibits trends for higher spatial resolution, lower detection limit and integral multiple methods on the water amount and its isotopic ratio. Among these methods, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry remains the most widely used, while secondary ion mass spectrometry, continuous flow mass spectrometry, elastic recoil detection analysis and Raman spectrometry are promising. This paper provides a brief review on the methodological progress and their applications to the analysis of structural water in nominally anhydrous minerals.展开更多

These small molecules possess fairly low-lying HOMO energy levels which match with the LUMO energy level of the electron acceptor PC70BM ([6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester). Using the simple process of spin-coating solution fabrication technique, S-I:PC70BM (1:4, w/w) based organic solar cells exhibiting a high Voc of 0.913 V, with a PCE value of 0.88% were developed. In contrast, the OSC device based on S-2:PC70BM (3:7, w/w) displayed a higher PCE of 1.59% with a higher Jsc value of 5.89 mA cm^-2. The device based on S-4:PCToBM (1:4, w/w) exhibited a PCE value of 1.56%, with a Voc of 0.917 V.展开更多
