Foams are attractive platforms for engineering gas–liquid–solid catalytic microreactors with enhanced triphasic contact. In this study, the foaming properties of surface-active AquivionTM perfluorosulfonic acid resin (AquivionTM PFSA) unraveled. Stable aqueous and non-aqueous foams prepared driven by hydrogen bond interactions between PFSA protic solvents (e.g., benzyl alcohol, aniline, water)....

The helical stability of poly-L-glutamic acid and poly-Lornithine in aqueous alcohol solutions was studied by optical rotatory dispersion and potentiometric titration determinations. It was found that aliphatic alcohols enhance the stability of the helix according to the series methanol < ethanol < I-propanol < I-butanol. The role of secondary and tertiary alcohols was also investigated. Thermo...

We have computed the Soret coefficient in aqueous mixtures using a boundary driven nonequilibrium molecular dynamics algorithm and standard molecular force fields. The choice of this specific approach is justified by the nature of the mixtures studied here. Four aqueous solutions, including methanol, ethanol, acetone, and dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO) have been studied at ambient conditions for dif...

Removing the bacteria, including Enterococcus faecalis, from the root canal is one of the important aims in endodontic treatment.We aimed to compare the antibacterial activity of Chlorhexidine with two natural drugs. The antibacterial activities of three different propolis extracts (alcohol concentrations: 0, 15, 40%) and Aloe vera gel on E. faecalis were compared using three methods: disk dif...

The activation properties of Clostridium perfringens NCTC 8679 spores were demonstrated by increases in CFU after heating in water or aqueous alcohols. The temperature range for maximum activation, which was 70 to 80 degrees C in water, was lowered by the addition of alcohols. The response at a given temperature was dependent on the time of exposure and the alcohol concentration. The monohydric...

Mass densities of dilute aqueous solutions 1-butanol and 1-pentanol (with alcohol concentrations between 0.07 to 0.7 0.006 0.06 mol·kg–1, respectively) were determined at atmospheric pres...

An efficient sequential four-component reaction of chromone carbaldehydes, Meldrum's acid, 4-hydroxyl coumarin or 6-methyl-4-hydroxyl-pyrone and primary alcohols is reported which leads to 5a-i in aqueous media. Replacing the primary alcohol with isopropyl alcohol and tert-butyl alcohol results in different products 10 and 11. The environmentally friendly features, good to high yields and easy ...

Some 1,2,4-triazole derivatives were titrated potentiometrically with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in four non-aqueous solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), tert-butyl alcohol and acetonitrile, and the half-neutralization potential values and the corresponding pKa values were determined for all cases.
