Unusual Hydrocarbon Chain Packing Mode and Modification of Crystallite Growth Habit in the Self-Assembled Nanocomposites Zinc-Aluminum-Hydroxide Oleate and Elaidate (cis- and trans- [Zn2Al(OH)6(CH3(CH2)7CHdCH(CH2)7COO)] and Magnesium Analogues

چکیده

We report a novel packing mode specific to the cis unsaturated hydrocarbon chain in the title compound, a self-assembled layered double hydroxide-surfactant hybrid nanomaterial, and its influence on crystallite morphology and structure. The kink imposed by the cis double bond in oleate leads to partial overlap between chains on adjacent layers, with incomplete space filling, in contrast to the more usual (and more efficient) monoand bilayer packings exhibited by the trans analogues. Incorporation of surfactant into the growing crystallite leads to a reversal of the usual LDH growth habit and results in crystallite shapes featuring ribbonlike sheets. The thermal decomposition behavior of the as-prepared organic/inorganic nanocomposites in air and N2 is described.

Combine flake like magnesium hydroxide and cubic like aluminum hydroxide nanostructures in order to improve fire retardant of PVC and PMMA

In this study, Flake-like magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) and cubic-like aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) nanostructures were synthesized via a simple co-precipitation method at relatively low temperature. Chemical properties and surface morphology of the magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy image (SEM), transm...

Compatibility of B-Sheets with Epitopes Predicted by Immunoinformatic in Human IgG

Background & Aims: Antibodies, well-known as immunoglobulins (Igs), are produced by B lymphocytes and specifically defend against pathogens. Igs are glycoproteins and have high diagnostic value in several diseases including infections (1). Igs are composed of light and heavy chains (2, 3). Each chain is comprised of about 110-120 amino acid residues which create immunoglobulin folds named domai...

Systematic control of the packing density of self-assembled monolayers using bidentate and tridentate chelating alkanethiols.

The structural and interfacial properties of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold derived from the adsorption of a series of 1,1,1-tris(mercaptomethyl)alkanes (i.e., CH3(CH2)mC[CH2SH]3, where m = 9, 11, 13, 15) were investigated. The new SAMs, which possess uniformly low densities of alkyl chains, were characterized by ellipsometry, contact angle goniometry, and polarization modulation infr...

Self-Assembled Monolayers Generated from Unsymmetrical Partially Fluorinated Spiroalkanedithiols.

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were prepared on gold substrates from an unsymmetrical partially fluorinated spiroalkanedithiol adsorbate with the specific structure of [CH3(CH2)7][CF3(CF2)7(CH2)8]C[CH2SH]2 (SADT) and compared to SAMs formed from the semifluorinated monothiol F8H10SH [CF3(CF2)7(CH2)10SH] of analogous chain length and n-octadecanethiol. The adsorbate with two alkyl chains, one ...

Identification of conformational epitopes on fragment crystallizable region of human Immunoglobulin G by immunoinformatic

Background: Immunoglobulins are a group of proteins have important role in defense against microorganisms. Human immunoglobulins are divided into five classes: IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE and IgG. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the highest abundant antibody in serum and extravascular fluids. The extent of serum IgG is related to severity of several diseases such as infections, so IgG has great diagnostic wor...
