Time-series hydrothermal syntheses from two organic-cation-free gels with different compositions were employed to study the factors that control the final size of zeolite L crystals. The first gel had a starting K/Al ratio of 10, whereas in the second one it was three times lower. The relatively simple chemical composition of the starting gels and the combination of complementary characterizati...

The electrophoretic mobilities in starch gels have been determined for eight enzymes in extracts of representative cultures of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. These values were compared with each other and with those obtained from certain bacteria not in this family. The migrations of the eight enzymes were virtually identical for each of eight strains of Escherichia coli and for two ...

We report development of a polymer gel with a catalytic activity that can be switched on and off when the solvent composition is changed. The gel consists of two species of monomers. The major component, N-isopropylacrylamide, makes the gel swell and shrink in response to a change in composition of ethanol/water mixtures. The minor component, vinylimidazole, which is capable of catalysis, is co...

Aluminosilicate gel precursor having mullite composition was synthesized from inorganic salts of aluminum and silicon by employing the sol-gel method. Chemical analysis, surface area and bulk density measurements were performed to characterize the dried gel. The course of the mullitization was examined by FT-IR analysis which confirmed the diphasic nature of the gel. ...

background: an effective polymer gel dosimeter can be fabricated by varying the composition of its chemical components. materials and methods: the magat gel dosimeter formulations that used different compositions of methacrylic acid (maa) and gelatin were extensively investigated in the present study according to the r2–dose response and r2–dose sensitivity. the irradiation of magat gel was per...

background: since 1984 mri gel dosimetry has been introduced as a potential technique for 3d dosimetry. most of the studies have measured r1 (1/t1) or r2 (1/t2) properties of the gel depending on the gel type. we have studied image intensity change in the fricke gel by different mri protocols. materials and methods: gel dosimeters contain 0.4 mm ferrous sulphate, 1 mm nacl, 50 mm h2so4 and 1% b...

background: in this study the basic radiation properties of n-isopropylacrylamaide polymer gel dosimeter were determined together with verification of its soft tissue equivalency. materials and methods: the nipam gel was prepared and irradiated approximately 2 h after manufacturing. the magnetic resonance (mr) images were made 24 h after irradiation. the nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) respons...
