This paper is a continuation of a series of publications dealing with the protection of metals by volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs). It presents a review on the propagation of VCI vapors, VCI distribution in the volume being protected, and specifics of vapor-phase protection of isolated systems and systems interacting with the environment in various ways. The review is supplemented by the au...

An innovative and efficient β-functionalization of [5,10,15-tris-(4-methylphenyl) corrolato]Cobalt derivatives introduced an acrolein substituent, which allowed the copolymerization with pure acrolein. The obtained hybrid microparticles have been used as sensing materials of quart microbalance gas sensors. The sensing properties have been tested by exposure to different volatile organic compoun...

Companies have moved away from vertical integration, in which a single company converts raw materials into products for end users, to an increasing reliance on supply chains. A typical U.S. company purchases 55% of the value of its products from other companies (Dyer & Singh, 1998). The promise of greater efficiency and the ability to adapt to increasingly volatile market dynamics have prompted...

BACKGROUND Currently, there is an increasing interest in developing more efficient techniques for the extraction of phytochemicals. Microwaves and ultrasonic extraction methods are promising techniques that can be used for this purpose. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of different extraction methods on yield, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of volat...

This work is an attempt to assist border security crackdown on illegal human immigration, by providing essential results on human chemical signatures. Data was obtained using a portable quadrupole mass spectrometer coupled with a membrane probe for volunteers of both genders and under different conditions in a container simulator. During experiments, participants were asked to follow various pr...

Controlling the electronic properties of functional oxide materials via external electric fields has attracted increasing attention as a key technology for next-generation electronics. For transition-metal oxides with metallic carrier densities, the electric-field effect with ionic liquid electrolytes has been widely used because of the enormous carrier doping capabilities. The gate-induced red...

In addition to meeting the requirements of ultra high purity bulk gas distribution systems, the distribution of specialty and corrosive gases necessitates that the gas distribution system is corrosion resistant and does not exhibit any catalytic behavior. Vereecke1 and coworkers reported that reaction between reactive gases and materials of construction employed in gas delivery systems can resu...

Mo-Si-based superalloys are of interest as a new family of high-temperature materials to replace Ni-based alloys. By means of in situ environmental transmission electron microscope, the transient period of the early oxidation of Mo3Si was investigated at the nanometer scale. As a result of a competition between loss of volatile MoO3 and association of SiO2 molecular units into pillars, a nanome...

in this study, the effect of gelatin-chitosan edible coating on the quality of chicken breast during 9 days of refrigerated storage (4 was investigated. three concentrations of gelatin (3, 6 and 8% w/v) and two concentrations of chitosan (1 and 2% w/v) were used to prepare the coating materials. samples was divided in 7 group, no coating (control), gelatin 3% and chitosan 1% (sample 2), gelatin...
