Calcium hydroxide's anti-bacterial action relies on high pH. The aim here was to investigate hydroxyl ion diffusion through dentine under different conditions. Teeth were divided into control (n = 4) and four experimental groups (n = 10): Group 1-no medicament; Group 2-Calmix; Group 3-Calmix/Ledermix; Group 4-Calasept Plus/Ledermix; Group 5-Pulpdent/smear layer. Deep (inner dentine) and shallow...

the our main goal of the present research is evaluating the performance of mno2 nanoparticles-agx zeolite composite as a novel adsorbent catalyst for the decontamination reactions of two most known sulfur mustard simulants; 2-chloroethyl phenyl sulfide (2-ceps), 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2-cees) at room temperature and monitoring by gas chromatography flame ionization detector (gc-fid) and g...

Nanofluidic ion transport holds high promise in bio-sensing and energy conversion applications. However, smart nanofluidic devices with flux modulable capabilities remain to be realised. Herein, we demonstrate based on oriented two-dimensional covalent organic framework (2D COF) membranes vertically aligned nanochannel arrays that achieved a 2–3 orders of magnitude higher compared conventional ...

With large numbers of hydroxyl groups, the trimethylsilyl derivatives become too large in mass for the range of many quadrupole mass spectrometers, so methylation is used. However, this would cause problems in structural elucidation since those compounds in which demethylation of the methoxyl or dimethylamino group had taken place would be remethylated, thus obscuring these demethylating proces...

lthough many of the solvent properties of water can be explained in terms of the uncharged H2O molecules,the small degree of ionization of water to hydrogen ions (H) and hydroxide ions (OH ) must also be taken into account. Like all reversible reactions, the ionization of water can be described by an equilibrium constant. When weak acids or weak bases are dissolved in water, they can contribute...

Simple 1,2,3-trialkylimidazolium cation associated with basic anions, such as hydrogen carbonate, prolinate, and imidazolate, is an active catalyst for the H/D exchange reaction of various substrates using CDCl3 as D source, without the addition of any extra bases or metal. High deuterium incorporation (up to 49%) in acidic C-H bonds of ketone and alkyne substrates (pKa from 18.7 to 28.8) was f...
