The certification of Standard Reference Material (SRM is a registered trademark of NIST) 3103a As Spectrometric Solution is based on the gravimetric preparation value that is verified by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) measurements. A disagreement between the gravimetric and the spectrometric values for a batch of As calibration solutions led to the discovery ...

A nanoenabled gravimetric chemical sensor prototype based on the large scale integration of single-stranded DNA (ss-DNA) decorated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as nanofunctionalization layer for aluminum nitride contour-mode resonant microelectromechanical (MEM) gravimetric sensors has been demonstrated. The capability of two distinct single strands of DNA bound to SWNTs to enhance di...

Fecal lipid content is usually determined by titrimetric or gravimetric methods, but these methods are time consuming and involve dangerous solvents. We have developed a new method of measuring fecal lipids by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) with an attenuated total reflectance accessory that is fast and requires no solvents. The spectra of stools from 4000 to 750 cm-1 were analy...

The total solubility of ethylene in LLDPE presence propane, isobutane and 1-butene is measured using a gravimetric technique at 70 °C pressures up to 5 bars. In order overcome the lack experimental partial data ternary systems, novel approach for estimation Sanchez-Lacombe interaction parameters proposed. measurements combined with independent estimate compressibility factor mixture gases Peng-...

Penetration of liquid pesticides through textile materials is a criterion for determining the performance of protective clothing used by pesticide handlers. The pipette method is frequently used to apply liquid pesticides onto textile materials to measure penetration. Typically, analytical techniques such as Gas Chromatography (GC) are used to measure percentage penetration. These techniques ar...

In this study, the corrosion behavior of Mg-Zn-Se and Mg-Zn-Cu alloys was investigated to evaluate their corrosion behavior related to use as implantable biomaterials. The corrosion behavior of these alloys and a commercially available Mg-Zn alloy were examined using static solution electrochemical testing, dynamic solution gravimetric testing, ion leaching testing, and microscopic evaluation. ...

Some new mononuclear complexes [ML1L2(NO3)2 ] {where M = [Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)], L1 = 2Hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde and L2 = diketones (Pentane-2,4-dione, 1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione, 1,3diphenylpropane-1,3-dione)}, have been synthesized and were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, , FTIR spectra, UV, magnetic moment and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The relati...
