Solvent effects in urethane formation.

Thermal and solvent effects on the triplet formation in cinnoline.

Cinnoline (1,2-diazanaphthalene) is of particular interest among the diazanaphthalenes. Its triplet quantum yield upon photoexcitation depends strongly on the temperature and the solvent environment. At the beginning of this study, the properties of the lowest triplet electronic state were not understood either. To elucidate the photophysics of cinnoline, we implemented algorithms based on the ...

Diluent effects in solvent extraction

The fact that the choice of organic diluent is important for a solvent extraction process goes without saying. Several factors, such as e.g. price, flash point, viscosity, polarity etc. each have their place in the planning of a solvent extraction system. This high number of variables makes the lack of compilations concerning diluent effects to an interesting topic. Often the interest for the r...

Sex-related differences of urethane and sodium valproate effects on Ki-67 expression in urethane-induced lung tumors of mice

The aim of the present study was to evaluate sex differences in tumorigenesis by assessing the number of Ki-67-positive cells [Ki-67(+)] in urethane-induced mice lung tumors and the effect of sodium valproate (NaVP) in BALB/c mice. Gonad-intact and gonadectomized female and male mice were divided into the following groups: i) Treated with urethane, ii) treated with urethane and NaVP and iii) go...

Perpendicular Structure Formation of Block Copolymer Thin Films during Thermal Solvent Vapor Annealing: Solvent and Thickness Effects

Solvent vapor annealing of block copolymer (BCP) thin films can produce a range of interesting morphologies, especially when the perpendicular orientation of micro-domains with respect to the substrate plays a role. This, for instance, allows BCP thin films to serve as useful templates for nanolithography and hybrid materials preparation. However, precise control of the arising morphologies is ...
