Acid-Catalyzed Chitin Liquefaction in Ethylene Glycol

Ning Yan, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Xi Chen

This paper describes chitin liquefaction in ethylene glycol (EG) under the catalysis of sulfuric acid for the first time. Up to 75% of chitin was liquefied at 165 degrees C within 90 min by using 8 wt % of acid (refer to the mass of EG). The major products ...

A simple electron time-of-flight spectrometer for ultrafast vacuum ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy of liquid solutions

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Christopher Alexander Arrell, José Javier Pancracio Ojeda Andara

We present a simple electron time of flight spectrometer for time resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of liquid samples using a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) source produced by high-harmonic generation. The field free spectrometer coupled with the time-preservi ...

Effect of surface pretreatment of TiO2 films on interfacial processes leading to bacterial inactivation in the dark and under light irradiation

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Michaël Bensimon, Rosendo Sanjines

Evidence is presented for radio-frequency plasma pretreatment enhancing the amount and adhesion of TiO2 sputtered on polyester (PES) and on polyethylene (PE) films. Pretreatment is necessary to attain a suitable TiO2 loading leading to an acceptable Escher ...

Innovative semi-transparent nanocomposite films presenting photo-switchable behavior and leading to a reduction of the risk of infection under sunlight

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sami Rtimi, Rosendo Sanjines

Novel sputtered polyethylene-TiO2 (PE-TiO2) thin films induce fast bacterial inactivation with concomitant photo-switchable hydrophobic to hydrophilic transition under light. RF-plasma pretreatments allowed an increased TiO2 loading on PE, favorably affect ...

Biogenic and biomass burning organic aerosol in a boreal forest at Hyytiala, Finland, during HUMPPA-COPEC 2010

Satoshi Takahama, Wuzhou Song

Submicron aerosol particles were collected during July and August 2010 in Hyytiala, Finland, to determine the composition and sources of aerosol at that boreal forest site. Submicron particles were collected on Teflon filters and analyzed by Fourier transf ...

Effect of aging on the performance of solvent-based self-healing materials

Véronique Michaud, Sam Neuser

Solvent healing of thermoset polymer matrices was suggested as an efficient and cost-effective alternative to other encapsulated self-healing systems. However, self-healing efficiency is not guaranteed over time. We report here on the autonomic self-healin ...
