Hydrophilic Polymers of Poly (2-Hydroxy Ethyl Methacrylate) with Tunable Properties for Drug Release, Sequestration of Blistering Agent, Preparation of Ultra-Strong Hydrogels & Thermal Stability of Various Organic AzidesAnanthoji, Ramakanth 01 January 2012 (has links)
The design and synthesis of new finely tunable porous materials has spurred interest in developing novel uses in a variety of systems. Zeolites, inorganic materials with high thermal and mechanical stability, in particular, have been widely examined for use in applications such as catalysis, ion exchange and separation. A relatively new class of inorganic-organic hybrid materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has recently surfaced, and many have exhibited their efficiency in potential applications such as ion exchange and drug delivery. A more recent development is the design and synthesis of a subclass of MOFs based on zeolite topologies (i.e. ZMOFs), which often exhibit traits of both zeolites and MOFs. Bio-compatible hydrogels already play an important role in drug delivery systems, but are often limited by stability issues. Thus, the addition of ZMOFs to hydrogel formulations is expected to enhance the hydrogel mechanical properties, and the ZMOF-hydrogel composites should present improved, symbiotic drug storage and release for delivery applications. Herein we present the novel composites of a hydrogel with a zeolite-like metal-organic framework, rho-ZMOF, using 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 2,3-dihydroxypropyl methacrylate (DHPMA), N-vinyl-2-pyrolidinone (VP) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and the corresponding drug release. An ultraviolet (UV) polymerization method is employed to synthesize the hydrogels, VP 0, VP 15, VP 30, VP 45 and the ZMOF-VP 30 composite, by varying the VP content (mol%). The rho-ZMOF, VP 30, and ZMOF-VP 30 composite are all tested for the controlled release of procainamide (protonated, PH), an anti-arrhythmic drug, in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) using UV spectroscopy.
Blister agents are chemical compounds that induce severe skin, eye, mucosal pain and irritation. The research focuses on sequestering a blister agent analog, thioanisole in hydrogels. HEMA polymers and copolymers of HEMA with 2,3-dihydroxyproyl methacrylate (DHPMA) and vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) were synthesized with crosslinkers of various dimensions. These were: ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), diethylene glycol dimethacrylate (DiEGDMA), triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TriEGDMA), tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TetEGDMA) and neopentyl glycol dimethacrylate (NPEGDMA). Equilibrium swelling was characterized gravimetrically and pore size was estimated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Glass transition temperatures were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The absorption of thioanisole in methanol was characterized with via ultra-violet (UV) spectroscopy.
Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) composites constructed from a paddle-wheel, a secondary building unit (SBU) for metal organic frameworks, Cu2(p-OH benzoate)4(DMSO)2*2DMSO (CPW) were also investigated for a broad analysis of dielectric spectra. The dielectric spectrum of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and its copolymer with Poly(2,3-dihydroxy propyl methacrylate) (PDHPMA) are already reported in the literature. This study delineates the effects on the dielectric behavior as a result of CPW addition. The dielectric permittivity and the loss factor were measured using a dielectric analyzer in the frequency range of 1 Hz to 100 k Hz and between the temperature range of -140 and 250°C. The electric modulus formalism was used to reveal the viscoelastic and conductivity relaxations present in the polymers. Significant changes were observed as CPW concentration increased from 0.1 to 0.5 wt%. It was determined through DSC that the glass transition temperature increased with the filler concentration. The secondary dielectric relaxations were also affected as it was recorded that the activation energy for the γ, Β, and conductivity relaxation increased with CPW content. AC and DC conductivity are also evaluated. The ionic conductivity data revealed that the CPW impedes the ion mobility when compared to the neat PHEMA.
Organic azides have become a very vital class of chemical compounds in synthetic organic chemistry and in many more fields due to their applications. Azido compounds are considered high-energetic compounds and are studied very little due to their explosive nature. There is an urge to evaluate the thermal stability of this wide variety of compounds which have tremendous applications in synthetic as well as organic chemistry. Here in we report the thermal stability of some organic azides such as sulfonyl, phosphoryl and carbonyl azides using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as an evaluating tool. Initial temperature of decomposition (Ti) and temperature of maximum decomposition (Tmax) are recorded. The area under exotherm peak during decomposition is used to determine the energy of decomposition (Ed) and is compared to threshold value for hazardous/explosive compounds. The effect of substituent groups at different positions, nature of the substituent groups (electron donating or electron withdrawing) and the steric hindrance on the thermal stability of these azides is studied in detail to verify the explosive nature of these compounds.

[en] CONTROLLED SYNTHESIS OF CE OXIDE FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER / [pt] SÍNTESE CONTROLADA DE NANOFIOS DE ÓXIDO DE CÉRIO DECORADOS COM NANOPARTÍCULAS DE OURO PARA CATÁLISE OXIDATIVA DO TIOANISOLTAISSA FELISBERTO ROSADO 23 March 2021 (has links)
[pt] O controle de parâmetros físicos e químicos das nanopartículas, tais quais, forma, composição e tamanho, além da interação entre metal e suporte, são fatores determinantes no desenvolvimento de um nanocatalisador com uma boa performance. Desse modo, nanopartículas de ouro foram incorporadas em nanofios de céria e utilizados como nanocatalisador para a oxidação seletiva do tioanisol. Sendo a sua morfologia 1D, com grande área superficial específica, diâmetros finos, alta concentração de vacância de oxigênio e pequenas NPs de Au uniformemente distribuídas na superfície do CeO2, além de espécies oxidadas de ouro, temos em nosso material características que o torna favorável a reação de oxidação. Os nanofios de CeO2-Au demonstraram uma melhora na performance da oxidação seletiva do tioanisol quando comparados aos nanofios de céria puros, e ao material comercial com e sem a deposição de NPs de Au. Os nanofios de céria obtiveram uma seletividade de 100 porcento para o metil fenil sulfóxido, e uma conversão de 53 porcento em 2 h de reação. O impacto da temperatura também foi observado, demonstrando que esse é, também, um fator importante na análise da atividade de um catalisador. / [en] The control over physical and chemical parameters of nanoparticles, such as shape, composition and size as well as the interactions between metal and support, are important factors in the development of a nanocatalyst with high activity. In this context, gold nanoparticles were incorporated the surface of ceria nanowire for application as nanocatalysts towards the selective oxidation of thioanisole. Considerin their one-dimensional morphology, high specific surface area, thin diameters, significant concentration of oxygen vacancies, and small Au NPs uniformly deposited at the CeO2 nanowires surface, our material displayed characteristics that makes them favorable for oxidations reactions. The CeO2-Au nanowires showed improved catalytic performances in the selective oxidation of thioanisol relative to pure CeO2 nanowires and commercial CeO2 with and without Au NPs deposited. CeO2-Au nanowires catalyzed the desired product with 100 percent of selectivity and 53 percent of conversion. The impact of temperature, such as the solvent, were also observed revealing that these factors also influences in the activity of these nanocatalyst.
