Isocyanuric acid (commonly referred to in the swimming pool/spa industry as cyanuric acid, stabilizer, conditioner, CYA, etc., and referred to simply as cyanuric acid in this paper) is a member of the symmetrical triazine family, and it is used in outdoor swimming pools and spas to protect chlorine against loss from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Depending on factors such as season and cli...

In plants, the extracellular space (apoplast) is one of the main places where exchange of molecules occurs between cells. Not only is this compartment involved in the storage of multiple metabolites and ions, including calcium and protons, but it also plays a role in the transmission of signaling molecules for cell-to-cell communication. It has recently been shown multiple times that these two ...

Trypanosoma brucei, the parasite that causes human African trypanosomiasis, is auxotrophic for purines and has specialist nucleoside transporters to import these metabolites. In particular, the P2 aminopurine transporter can also selectively accumulate melamine derivatives. In this Letter, we report the coupling of the melamine moiety to 2-hydroxy APA, a potent ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor...

The anionic fluorescent dye, aminopyrene trisulfonic acid (APTS), was synthesized and used in a solution-based two-component glucose-sensing system comprising the dye and a boronic acid-appended viologen. The fluorescence of the dye was quenched in the presence of the viologen and the fluorescence restored upon glucose addition. An important feature of this fluorophore is that it can be covalen...

This article presents the first applied results of using citric acid in combinations with a melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) resin for bonding wood veneers. The chemical reactions involved are shown based on MALDI ToF analysis reaction MUF acid. preliminary physical and mechanical properties LVL prepared also presented. Veneers from Populus sp were used to manufacture 5-layer laminated veneer l...

Three formaldehyde-based resins were prepared: urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin without melamine modifier (named UF0 resin) and melamineurea-formaldehyde (MUF) resins with melamine modifier added at two different synthesis stages (named MUF1 resin and MUF2 resin). The effects of the melamine addition stage on the performance and curing behavior of MUF resin were studied. Three-ply plywood bonded by...

We demonstrate in this joint experimental and theoretical study how one can alter electron transport behavior of a single melamine molecule adsorbed on a Cu (100) surface by performing a sequence of elegantly devised and well-controlled single molecular chemical processes. It is found that with a dehydrogenation reaction, the melamine molecule becomes firmly bonded onto the Cu surface and acts ...

Graphite like C3N4 (g-C3N4) was synthesized facilely via the low temperature thermal condensation of melamine between 300-650°C. The results showed that the products maintained as melamine when the temperature is below 300°C. With the increase of temperature, the products were transformed into carbon nitride and amorphous g-C3N4 successively. The morphology of products was changed from spherica...

Commercially used industrial baking enamels consist of alkyd or polyester resin with melamine formaldehyde. These resins are mainly derived from fossil resources. Considering growing environmental legislation regarding use of petroleum based raw materials, utilization of renewable resources to synthesize various chemistries can be the only obvious option as far as academia and industries are co...
