By forcing an aqueous solution of N-lauroylsarcosine sodium salt and 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid ammonium salt in a hydrophobic nanoporous silica gel, the external work can be largely dissipated due to the amplified capillary effect. The sorption isotherm curve is two-staged, and the height and the width of stage-I infiltration plateau can be adjusted separately by controlling the liqu...

T WO levels of ammonium chloride or of ammonium sulfate were added to the rations of commercial feeder cattle. The rations were made isonitrogenous, essentially isocaloric and to contain the same level of calcium, phosphorus and salt. Total gains were essentially the same for all lots, varying only 15.6 lb (7.1 kg) over a 112 day feeding period. Feed conversion was increased only on the ration ...

Polymer electrolyte films, comprising ammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate salt and butyl-trimethyl ammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ionic liquid immobilized in poly (ethyl methacrylate) was studied. Structural, morphological, thermal and electrical properties of the polymer electrolyte films were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and imped...

Tel.: +86-451-8219-1693 An antimicrobial superabsorbent was prepared by grafting polyacrylic acid on tara gum and adding chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (2-NHydroxypropyl-3-trimethylammonium chloride chitosan, HTCC). The effect of the amount of HTCC on swelling ratio of the product was investigated. The product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning elec...

Contact-active antibacterial surfaces play a vital role in preventing bacterial contamination of artificial surfaces. In the past, numerous researches have been focused on antibacterial surfaces comprising of antifouling upper-layer and antibacterial sub-layer. In this work, we demonstrate a reversed surface structure which integrate antibacterial upper-layer and antifouling sub-layer. These su...
