In this research, (Carboxy-3-oxopropylamino)-3-propylsilylcellulose (COPAPSC) as an organocatalyst, has been synthesized by grafting of succinic anhydride on the NH2-modified cellulose (cellulose functionalized with 3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane). The –CO2H group-functionalized cellulose (COPAPSC) is used as a catalyst for the synthesis of coumarin derivatives from the reaction of phenolic subs...

Potential dual-mode monopropellant/electrospray capable binary mixtures of hydroxyl ammonium nitrate with ionic liquid fuels [Bmim][NO3] and [Emim][EtSO4] are synthesized and tested for monopropellant ignition capability in a micro reactor setup. The setup is benchmarked using 30% hydrogen peroxide solution decomposed via silver catalyst. Results show similar trends, but variance in the quantit...

in this paper metal-assisted chemical etching has been applied to pattern porous silicon regions and silicon nanohole arrays in submicron period simply by using positive photoresist as a mask layer. in order to define silicon nanostructures, metal-assisted chemical etching (mace) was carried out with silver catalyst. provided solution (or materiel) in combination with laser interference lithogr...

the fe-mcm-22 zeolite was found to be an efficient solid heterogeneous catalyst for synthesis of dihydropyrano [2,3-c] pyrazoles via one pot four component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, hydrazine hydrate, aromatic aldehyde and malononitrile in aqueous alcohol. the catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method under autogenous pressure and modified by fe (iii) ion exchange. the prepared cata...

Montmorillonite modified is an efficient environmental friendly catalyst under one-pot-three-component synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H) ones. The preparation was performed with an aldehyde, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, urea or thiourea under solvent-free conditions. In comparison with the other methods of Biginelli reaction, this new method has short reaction time inexpensive catalyst and ...

Silver nanoplates were prepared by modified galvanic displacement on commercial copper foil. SEM, TEM, UV-vis and XPS were employed to analyze those closely packed silver nanoplates. This type of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrates showed strong surface plasmon absorption and reliable surface-enhanced Raman activity.

Biofilms can have deleterious effects on drinking water quality and may harbor pathogens. Experiments were conducted using 100 microg/liter silver to prevent biofilm formation in modified Robbins devices with polyvinyl chloride and stainless steel surfaces. No significant difference was observed on either surface between the silver treatment and the control.

A new technology that enables the highly selective and sensitive detection of silver ions has been developed. The method takes advantage of the unique fluorescence property of a mismatched pyrrolo-dC (PdC)-modified duplex DNA, which serves as the key detection component, and the specific interaction of this duplex with silver ions.
