The swelling of regular, tightly meshed model networks is investigated by a molecular-dynamics-Monte Carlo hybrid technique. The chemical equilibrium between two simulation boxes representing the gel phase and a solvent bath, respectively, is obtained by subjecting the Lennard-Jones particles of a binary mixture, serving as explicit solvent, to the particle transfer step of Gibbs ensemble-Monte...

A complete description of the Supercritical Antisolvent Process requires the modelling of several complex physical phenomena such as heat and mass transfer, hydrodynamic, phase equilibria of ternary mixtures, and nucleation /growth of the specie to be precipitated; moreover, the description should also account for the biphasic case, where the jet of organic solvent breaks up as droplets. As a f...

Additional specific rates of solvolysis have been determined, mainly in fluoroalcohol containing solvents, for benzenesulfonyl chloride (1) and p-nitrobenzene-sulfonyl chloride (2). For trans-beta-styrenesulfonyl chloride (3), a study has been carried out in 43 pure and binary solvents, covering a wide range of hyroxylic solvent systems. For the specific rates of solvolyses of each of the three...

A capillary electrophoresis method was used for assay of some degradation products of carvedilol. The optimized parameters were as; running buffer 80 mM acetate dissolved in methanol/ethanol mixture (65:35 v/v), applied voltage of 19 kV, temperature is 20 ºC and the wavelength range of 200-350 nm. The results indicate that the proposed CE method could effectively separate carvedilol from its de...

The complexation reactions between the macrocyclic ionophore, p-isopropylcalix[6]arene and Cs+ cation were studied in dimethylsulfoxide-acetonitrile (DMSO-AN) binary non-aqueous solvents at different temperatures using a conductometry method. The conductance data show that the stoichiometry of the (p-isopropylcalix[6]-arene·Cs)+ complex in all binary mixed solvents is 1:1. The stability of the ...

A binary solvent mixture close to critical demixing experiences fluctuations whose correlation length, ξ, diverges as the critical point is approached. The solvent-mediated (SM) interaction that arises between a pair of colloids immersed in such a near-critical solvent can be long-ranged and this so-called critical Casimir interaction is well-studied. How a (dense) suspension of colloids will s...

mnco2o4 (mno-co2o3) nanocomposite as a binary oxide has been successfully prepared by precipitation method using cobalt nitrate and manganese nitrate as the precursors and then characterized by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive micro-analysis (sem-edx) and x-ray diffraction (xrd) techniques. in this work, we report the hydrolysis kinetics reactions of semi mustard (chloroethyl ethy...
