JSS increased substantially when pH was close to the pKa of LH. The profile of JSS versus pH showed an 慡?shaped curve. JSS of Lidocaine free base (LFB) was fourteen times that of LH. The pH of vehicle influences the permeation of LH significantly and should be considered as an important factor when a formulation is developed.展开更多

Single phase SCFM was successfully prepared by a combined EDTA-citric method. SCFM shows a lower thermal expansion coefficient （24× 10^-6-29× 10^-6/K） than SCF between 500 and 1050 ℃, indicating a more stable structure. SCFM shows a high oxygen permeation flux, although the oxygen flux of SCFM decreases slightly because of Mo dopant. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the doping of Mo in SCF can prevent the order-disorder transition and improves the chemical stability to CO2.展开更多

A reduction in the hydrogen permeation of the oxide films was detected by measuring the mass difference of the zirconium hydride samples after the dehydrogenation experiment. The reaction of zirconium hydride with oxygen occurs only under the condition that the temperature is higher than 673 K in the oxygen partial pressure of 0.1 MPa. The oxide film is composed of two layers, a permeable oxide layer and a dense oxide layer, and the main phase of the oxide film is ZrO2 with baddeleyite structure. The XPS analysis shows that O-H bonds exist in the oxide film, which are helpful for resisting hydrogen diffusion through the oxide film.展开更多

Operational long-term stocks of grafts which supply a buffer between procurement and utilization would contribute to the commercialization or industrialization of this technology. Vitrification has been thought to be a promising method for successful preservation of articular cartilage （AC）, but high concentration cryoprotectants （CPAs） are used which may cause high cellular toxicity. An effective way to reduce CPA toxioity is to increase CPA concen- tration gradually while the temperature is lowered. Understanding the mechanism of （31~A permeation at subzero temperatures is important for designing the cryopreservation protocol. In this research, the permeation of dimethyl sulfoxide （MezSO） in ovine AC at subzero temperatures was studied experimentally. Pretreated AC discs were ex- posed in Me2SO solutions for different time （0, 5, 15, 30, 50, 80, and 120 min） at three temperature levels （-10, -20, and -30℃）. The Me2SO concentration within the tissue was determined by ultraviolet （UV） spectrophotometry. The diffusion coefficients were estimated to be 0.85×10-6, 0.48×10-8, and 0.27×10-6 cm2/s at -10, -20, and -,30℃, respectively, and the corresponding activation energy was 29.23 kJ/mol. Numerical simulation was performed to com- pare two Me2SO addition protocols, and the results demonstrated that the total loading duration could be effectively reduced with the knowledge of permeation kinetics.展开更多

Based on the permeability test and scanning electron microscope(SEM) images analysis, the fractal theory and probability entropy are used to quantify the characteristics of the remodeling specimens. First, the relationships between initial moisture content(IMC) and microstructure of the soil(percentage of particle area(PPA), pore roundness(Rp)) before and after permeability test are summarized. Then, the fractal dimension of the soil(pore distribution(Dpd), pore size(Dps)) are analyzed under the permeation effect. Based on the probability entropy, the entropy of pore(Ep) is used to characterize the porosity orientation, and the rose diagrams are used to show the particle orientation under the permeation effect. Finally, the relationship between the microstructure of the soil and its mechanical property is discussed. Results show that under the permeation effect, the microstructure of the soil has undergone tremendous changes. A flat long pore channel is formed. The order of the pore arrangement is enhanced, and soil particles switch the long axis to parallel infiltration direction to reach a new steady state. It can be inferred that the strength of soil would be weakened if the fractal dimension of soil pore decreases under any external environment.展开更多

SZ and SA composite sol were prepared by sol–gel method. SZ and SA composite oxide coatings were prepared on the surface of Zr H(in situ oxidized or not) in turns by dip-coating and heat treatment. Hydrogen permeation of Zr Hwith and without composite oxide coating was compared.Hydrogen desorption experiments in thermal vacuum show that hydrogen permeation resistance of SA composite oxide coating is better than that of SZ, to a certain extent,which could decrease hydrogen thermal loss. Experimental results in the working condition show that the SA composite oxide coating can not only prevent hydrogen permeation, but also retard contact and reaction between COand Zr Hmatrix, which could mitigate excessive oxidation of in situ oxide film. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry(DSC–TG) analysis was performed to investigate the decomposition behavior of SA and SZ liquid sol in heat treatment process. X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) analysis were employed to characterize the phase composition,surface and cross-section morphology of the coatings.展开更多

For film with such thickness, the growth mode defined as the arrangement of clusters on the surface during the growth is of significance. In this work, Al2O3 thin film was deposited on various interfacial species of pre-treated polyethylene terephthalate （PET, 12 μm） by plasma assisted atomic layer deposition （PA-ALD）, where trimethyl aluminium was used as the Al precursor and O2 as the oxygen source. The interracial species, -NH3, -OH, and -COOH as well as SiCHO （derived from monomer of HMDSO plasma）, were grafted previously by plasma and chemical treatments. The growth mode of PA-ALD Al2O3 was then investigated in detail by combining results from in-situ diagnosis of spectroscopic ellipsometry （SE） and ex-situ characterization of as-deposited layers from the morphologies scanned by atomic force microscopy （AFM）. In addition, the oxygen transmission rates （OTR） of the original and treated plastic films were measured. The possible reasons for the dependence of the OTR values on the surface species were explored.展开更多

Gel permeation chromatography(GPC) was used to evaluate the molecular weight of synthesized CAR-CBA. Polyethyleneimine(PEI) with molecular weight of 25 kDa was adopted as a reference, and polyethylene glycols(PEG) with different molecular weights were used to establish a standard curve for determining the molecular weight of CAR-CBA. The effects of two critical factors, namely columns and eluents,on the molecular weight measurement of CAR-CBA were investigated to optimize the GPC quantitative method. The results showed that Ultrahydrogel columns(120, 250) and HAc–NaAc(0.5 M, pH 4.5) buffer solution were the optimal column and GPC eluent, respectively.The molecular weight of the synthesized CAR-CBA was analyzed by the optimized GPC method and determined to be 24.66 kDa.展开更多

The oxygen permeation behaviors of three Ti alloys, TA2, TB5 and TC11, treated in air with O-P medium at high temperature have been studied. The results show that the 0-P treatment can significantly improve the surface hardness of Ti alloys. The oxidation mass-gain of β-Ti alloy (TB5) is much higher than α-Ti alloy (TA2) under the same condition, while α+β Ti alloy (TC11) is the lowest. All the Ti alloys treated at this condition produce two surface layers: the outer layer consists mainly of TiO2, as well as trace of other oxides, and the inner layer consists of a Ti-O interstitial solid solution formed by the diffusion of oxygen in α crystal lattice. Thick scales of β Ti alloy (TB5) are easily formed depending mainly on the poor solid solution content of oxygen, while deep solution layer can be formed since partial β phase has been transformed into α phase. The scales of α-β Ti alloy (TC11) are very thin and compact. Aluminum-rich zone, as well as deficient zone, is found in oxide layers. A crystallographic characterization of oxygen solution layer has been performed and evaluated by crystallographic lattice constant.展开更多

X-ray diffraction（XRD）results revealed the good chemical compatibility between ion-conducting phase CGO and electron-conducting phases PBC2 xFxO after sintering in air. The Fe ionic dopant had a significant effect on the phase structure stability and oxygen permeability under CO2 atmosphere, which was confirmed by XRD, thermogravimetrye differential scanning calorimetry（TGeD SC）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and oxygen permeation experiments. CGOeP BC0.5F1.5O dual-phase membrane demonstrated a stable oxygen permeation flux of2.71x10-7mol cm 2s 1with 50 mol% He/CO2 as the sweep gas at 925 C, and this value was much higher than that of perovskite-type membranes. The rate-limiting step in the oxygen permeation process changed from the bulk diffusion to the surface oxygen exchange when the CGOeP BC0.5F1.5O membrane thickness decreased to 0.8 mm or less. Due to the high oxygen permeation fluxes and the excellent structural stability under CO2 atmosphere, the CGOeP BC0.5F1.5O membrane is a great potential candidate material for separating oxygen from air in the oxy-fuel combustion techniques.展开更多

Moderate frequency (5Hz) is found to be more effectivethan lower or higher frequency on steel surface cleanliness. A novel interpretation of cyclicvoltammagrams is used to estimate the surface cleanliness. This correlates very well with XPSdetermination of surface carbon levels. This result is discussed in terms of mechanisms ofelectrocleaning. Moderate frequency (5-10Hz) is more effective than lower frequency for inhibitinghydrogen permeation. This method can prevent hydrogen brittleness on the electrocleaninghigh-strength steel.展开更多

The results of XPS indicate that La has permeated and diffused into the body of the sample and exists in the forms of binding with other components. The crystal structure parameters of K 0.475WO 3 were obtained by the analysis of XRD, which shows tetragonal crystal system with lattice parameters: a=12 28 nm, c=3.833 nm, V=578.48 nm -3. The conductivities calculated from the results of AC impedance spectra of the material increase with the increasing of temperature, which shows a semiconductor character.展开更多

The approach is based on Fick＇s diffusion laws, where the initial concentration and diffusion coefficients depend on microstructure and charging conditions. The evolution equations are shown to reduce to classical models for hydrogen diffusion and thermal desorption spectroscopy. The number density of trapping sites is found to be proportional to the mean spacing of each microstructural feature, including dislocations, grain boundaries and various precipitates. The model is validated with several steel grades and polycrystalline nickel for a wide range of processing conditions and microstructures. A systematic study of the factors affecting hydrogen mobility in martensitic steels showed that dislocations control the effective diffusion coefficient of hydrogen. However,they also release hydrogen into the lattice more rapidly than other kind of traps. It is suggested that these effects contribute to the increased susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement in martensitic and other high-strength steels. These results show that the methodology can be employed as a tool for alloy and process design, and that dislocation kinematics play a crucial role in such design.展开更多

The phase structure of the powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）. Scanning electron microscopy （SEM） was used to characterize microstructures of the membrane sintered under various conditions. Sintering temperatures and dwell time during sintering influence the final microstructure of the ceramic. Results showed that increasing sintering temperature resulted in a dense membrane with clear grains. An increase of dwell time was favorable to produce membranes with larger grains in the sintered ceramics. A density of 5.87 g/cm3 was reached for the membrane after sintering at 1200 ℃ with dwell time of 10 h. This resulted in the formation of dense membranes with clear structure and average grain size of 0.27 μm. The influence of microstructure on the hydrogen permeation flux through BCY was observed by measuring the hydrogen permeation flux, and the results showed that hydrogen permeation flux increases with increasing the average grain size of the membrane. From H2 permeation rates, it was found that bulk diffusion rather than surface reaction played the dominant role in H2 transport.展开更多

Metal cation Ca2＋, La3＋ or Sr2＋ doping on A-site partially substituted Ba2＋ in BaCoo.TFe0.225Ta0.07503-δ oxides, and its subsequent effects on phase structure stability, oxygen permeability and oxygen desorption were systematically investigated by XRD, TG-DSC, Hz-TPR, O2-TPD techniques and oxygen permeation experiments. The partial substitution with Ca2＋, La3＋ or Sr2＋, whose ionic radii are smaller than that of Ba2＋, succeeded in stabilizing the cubic perovskite structure without formation of impurity phases, as revealed by XRD analysis. Oxygen-involving experi- ments showed that BRCFT with A-site fully occupied by Ba2＋ exhibited good oxygen permeation flux under He flow, reaching about 2.3 mL.min-l .cm-2 at 900 with I mm thickness. Of all the membranes, BLCFT membrane showed better chemical stability in CO2, owing to the reduction in alkalinity of the mixed conductor oxide by La doping. In addition, we also found the stability of the perovskite structure under reducing atmospheres was strengthened by increasing the size of A-site cation （Ba2＋〉La3＋〉SrZ＋〉Ca2＋）.展开更多

文摘Atomic layer deposition （ALD） technique is used in the preparation of organic/inorganic layers, which requires uniform surfaces with their thickness down to several nanometers. For film with such thickness, the growth mode defined as the arrangement of clusters on the surface during the growth is of significance. In this work, Al2O3 thin film was deposited on various interfacial species of pre-treated polyethylene terephthalate （PET, 12 μm） by plasma assisted atomic layer deposition （PA-ALD）, where trimethyl aluminium was used as the Al precursor and O2 as the oxygen source. The interracial species, -NH3, -OH, and -COOH as well as SiCHO （derived from monomer of HMDSO plasma）, were grafted previously by plasma and chemical treatments. The growth mode of PA-ALD Al2O3 was then investigated in detail by combining results from in-situ diagnosis of spectroscopic ellipsometry （SE） and ex-situ characterization of as-deposited layers from the morphologies scanned by atomic force microscopy （AFM）. In addition, the oxygen transmission rates （OTR） of the original and treated plastic films were measured. The possible reasons for the dependence of the OTR values on the surface species were explored.

文摘A highly sensitive method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 8 steroid hormones in high-fat fish tissues using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS).The 8 steroid hormones were extracted from the tissues with diethyl ether.Differing from other common purification methods,the extract solutions were cleaned by gel permeation chromatography(GPC) using ethyl acetate-cyclohexane solution(1:1,v/v) as the mobile phase.The separation of target compounds was carried out by a BEH C18 column and a gradient elution consisting of acetonitrile and 0.2% aqueous formic acid(v/v).The compounds were detected under the multiple reaction monitoring(MRM) mode and quantified with external standard method.This method was validated with respect to linearity,specificity,accuracy and precision.A linearity with correlation coefficient larger than 0.995 was achieved in the range of 0.5 to 50 ng m L^(-1).The average recoveries at the spiked levels of 1.0,5.0,and 10.0 μg kg^(–1) varied between 81.7% and 90.8%,with the relative standard deviations(n=5) ranged from 3.50% to 10.0%.The limit of quantification(LOQ) for 8 steroid hormones ranged from 0.2 to 1.5 μg kg^(-1).It was concluded that this method can be successfully applied for the determination of 8 steroid hormones in complicated matrices including high-fat fish tissues.

文摘A cationic gene delivery vector, guanidinylated disulfide-containing poly(amido amine)(CARCBA), was synthesized by Michael addition reaction between N,N′-cystaminebisacrylamide(CBA) and guanidine hydrochloride(CAR). Gel permeation chromatography(GPC) was used to evaluate the molecular weight of synthesized CAR-CBA. Polyethyleneimine(PEI) with molecular weight of 25 kDa was adopted as a reference, and polyethylene glycols(PEG) with different molecular weights were used to establish a standard curve for determining the molecular weight of CAR-CBA. The effects of two critical factors, namely columns and eluents,on the molecular weight measurement of CAR-CBA were investigated to optimize the GPC quantitative method. The results showed that Ultrahydrogel columns(120, 250) and HAc–NaAc(0.5 M, pH 4.5) buffer solution were the optimal column and GPC eluent, respectively.The molecular weight of the synthesized CAR-CBA was analyzed by the optimized GPC method and determined to be 24.66 kDa.

文摘In order to improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of Ti and Ti alloy components, an oxygen permeation treatment (OPT) was developed. The oxygen permeation behaviors of three Ti alloys, TA2, TB5 and TC11, treated in air with O-P medium at high temperature have been studied. The results show that the 0-P treatment can significantly improve the surface hardness of Ti alloys. The oxidation mass-gain of β-Ti alloy (TB5) is much higher than α-Ti alloy (TA2) under the same condition, while α+β Ti alloy (TC11) is the lowest. All the Ti alloys treated at this condition produce two surface layers: the outer layer consists mainly of TiO2, as well as trace of other oxides, and the inner layer consists of a Ti-O interstitial solid solution formed by the diffusion of oxygen in α crystal lattice. Thick scales of β Ti alloy (TB5) are easily formed depending mainly on the poor solid solution content of oxygen, while deep solution layer can be formed since partial β phase has been transformed into α phase. The scales of α-β Ti alloy (TC11) are very thin and compact. Aluminum-rich zone, as well as deficient zone, is found in oxide layers. A crystallographic characterization of oxygen solution layer has been performed and evaluated by crystallographic lattice constant.

文摘Dual-phase membranes of 60 wt% Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-δ-40 wt% Pr Ba Co2exFexO3 d（0 x 2） were prepared by a combined citrate and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid（EDTA） complexing method. X-ray diffraction（XRD）results revealed the good chemical compatibility between ion-conducting phase CGO and electron-conducting phases PBC2 xFxO after sintering in air. The Fe ionic dopant had a significant effect on the phase structure stability and oxygen permeability under CO2 atmosphere, which was confirmed by XRD, thermogravimetrye differential scanning calorimetry（TGeD SC）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and oxygen permeation experiments. CGOeP BC0.5F1.5O dual-phase membrane demonstrated a stable oxygen permeation flux of2.71x10-7mol cm 2s 1with 50 mol% He/CO2 as the sweep gas at 925 C, and this value was much higher than that of perovskite-type membranes. The rate-limiting step in the oxygen permeation process changed from the bulk diffusion to the surface oxygen exchange when the CGOeP BC0.5F1.5O membrane thickness decreased to 0.8 mm or less. Due to the high oxygen permeation fluxes and the excellent structural stability under CO2 atmosphere, the CGOeP BC0.5F1.5O membrane is a great potential candidate material for separating oxygen from air in the oxy-fuel combustion techniques.
文摘The effect of pulse frequency and current density on the effectiveness ofbiphasic pulse electrocleaning is discussed. Moderate frequency (5Hz) is found to be more effectivethan lower or higher frequency on steel surface cleanliness. A novel interpretation of cyclicvoltammagrams is used to estimate the surface cleanliness. This correlates very well with XPSdetermination of surface carbon levels. This result is discussed in terms of mechanisms ofelectrocleaning. Moderate frequency (5-10Hz) is more effective than lower frequency for inhibitinghydrogen permeation. This method can prevent hydrogen brittleness on the electrocleaninghigh-strength steel.
文摘New polyoxometalate α-K 12H 3[Y(BW 11O 39) 2]·25H 2O was synthesized and treated by high temperature gaseous rare earth permeation to prepare tungsten bronze K 0.475WO 3. XRD, TG-DTA, XPS, 183W-NMR,CV and AC impedance spectra were used to characterize the resulting material. The results of XPS indicate that La has permeated and diffused into the body of the sample and exists in the forms of binding with other components. The crystal structure parameters of K 0.475WO 3 were obtained by the analysis of XRD, which shows tetragonal crystal system with lattice parameters: a=12 28 nm, c=3.833 nm, V=578.48 nm -3. The conductivities calculated from the results of AC impedance spectra of the material increase with the increasing of temperature, which shows a semiconductor character.
文摘A modelling suite for hydrogen transport during electrochemical permeation, degassing and thermal desorption spectroscopy is presented. The approach is based on Fick＇s diffusion laws, where the initial concentration and diffusion coefficients depend on microstructure and charging conditions. The evolution equations are shown to reduce to classical models for hydrogen diffusion and thermal desorption spectroscopy. The number density of trapping sites is found to be proportional to the mean spacing of each microstructural feature, including dislocations, grain boundaries and various precipitates. The model is validated with several steel grades and polycrystalline nickel for a wide range of processing conditions and microstructures. A systematic study of the factors affecting hydrogen mobility in martensitic steels showed that dislocations control the effective diffusion coefficient of hydrogen. However,they also release hydrogen into the lattice more rapidly than other kind of traps. It is suggested that these effects contribute to the increased susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement in martensitic and other high-strength steels. These results show that the methodology can be employed as a tool for alloy and process design, and that dislocation kinematics play a crucial role in such design.

文摘The BaCe0.9Y0.1O3-δ （BCY） perovskite membrane was successfully synthesized by liquid citrate method. The phase structure of the powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）. Scanning electron microscopy （SEM） was used to characterize microstructures of the membrane sintered under various conditions. Sintering temperatures and dwell time during sintering influence the final microstructure of the ceramic. Results showed that increasing sintering temperature resulted in a dense membrane with clear grains. An increase of dwell time was favorable to produce membranes with larger grains in the sintered ceramics. A density of 5.87 g/cm3 was reached for the membrane after sintering at 1200 ℃ with dwell time of 10 h. This resulted in the formation of dense membranes with clear structure and average grain size of 0.27 μm. The influence of microstructure on the hydrogen permeation flux through BCY was observed by measuring the hydrogen permeation flux, and the results showed that hydrogen permeation flux increases with increasing the average grain size of the membrane. From H2 permeation rates, it was found that bulk diffusion rather than surface reaction played the dominant role in H2 transport.

文摘Ba0.9R0.1Co0.TFe0.225Ta0.07503-δ （BRCFT, R = Ca, La or Sr） membranes were synthesized by a solid-state reaction. Metal cation Ca2＋, La3＋ or Sr2＋ doping on A-site partially substituted Ba2＋ in BaCoo.TFe0.225Ta0.07503-δ oxides, and its subsequent effects on phase structure stability, oxygen permeability and oxygen desorption were systematically investigated by XRD, TG-DSC, Hz-TPR, O2-TPD techniques and oxygen permeation experiments. The partial substitution with Ca2＋, La3＋ or Sr2＋, whose ionic radii are smaller than that of Ba2＋, succeeded in stabilizing the cubic perovskite structure without formation of impurity phases, as revealed by XRD analysis. Oxygen-involving experi- ments showed that BRCFT with A-site fully occupied by Ba2＋ exhibited good oxygen permeation flux under He flow, reaching about 2.3 mL.min-l .cm-2 at 900 with I mm thickness. Of all the membranes, BLCFT membrane showed better chemical stability in CO2, owing to the reduction in alkalinity of the mixed conductor oxide by La doping. In addition, we also found the stability of the perovskite structure under reducing atmospheres was strengthened by increasing the size of A-site cation （Ba2＋〉La3＋〉SrZ＋〉Ca2＋）.
