A fuel-cell-type gas sensor based on the membrane electrode assemble (MEA) composed of proton exchange membrane (Nafion) and Pt/C sensing electrodes was fabricated for detection of CO at room temperature. The Pt/C electrodes materials were synthesized from Vulcan XC-72 carbon powders and hexachloroplatinic acid (H2PtCl6). This paper mainly focused on the effect of various dispersants (ethylene ...

Mixtures of ethylene glycol with water are a prominent example of media with variable viscosity. Classical molecular dynamics simulations at room temperature were performed for mixtures of ethylene glycol (EG) and water with EG mole fractions of xE = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.9, 1.0. The calculated dielectric loss spectra were in qualitative agreement with experiment. We found a slightly overe...

This paper presents a comparative study on the antifouling properties of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based polymer coatings prepared by surface-initiated polymerization (SIP). Three types of poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (POEGMEMA) polymer thin films of approximate 100 nm thickness were grafted from a catechol initiator that was immobilized on a Ti substrate. OEGMEMA mo...

The influence of Coriolis body force, electro-magnetohydrodynamics (EMHD) and thermal radiative heat transfer on the Casson hybrid mixed convection nanofluid driven by an exponentially accelerated plate adjacent to a porous medium in rotating system is analyzed. Hybrid (Ag- Al2O3) Al2O3nanofluids are considered with ethylene glycol (EG) base fluid. Maxwell-Garnett model has been deployed derive...

Ethylene glycol (EG) may be consumed accidentally or intentionally, usually in the form of antifreeze products or as an ethanol substitute. EG is metabolized to toxic metabolites. These metabolites cause metabolic acidosis with increased anion gap, renal failure, oxaluria, damage to the central nervous system and cranial nerves, and cardiovascular instability. Early initiation of treatment can ...

BACKGROUND The media can have a profound impact on human behavior. A sensational murder by ethylene glycol (EG) poisoning occurred in our state. The regional media provided extensive coverage of the murder. We undertook this investigation to evaluate our incidence of EG poisoning during the timeframe of before the first report linking a death to ethylene glycol to shortly after the first murder...

A variety of molecular gradients of alkanethiols with the structure HS-(CH(2))(m)-X (m = 15; X = COOH, CH(2)NH(2), or CH(3)) and oligo(ethylene glycol)-terminated alkanethiols with the structures HS-(CH(2))(15)-CO-NH-Eg(n) (n = 2, 4, or 6), HS-(CH(2))(15)-CO-NH-Eg(2)-(CH(2))(2)-NH-CO-(CH(2))(4)-biotin, and HS-(CH(2))(15)-CO-NH-Eg(6)-CH(2)-COOH were prepared on polycrystalline gold films. These ...

In this Research Article, we reported a eutectic electrolyte consisting of ethylene glycol (EG) and ZnCl2. A deep (ZnCl2-4EG) composed EG ZnCl2 for dendrite-free zinc anodes has been in previous study by Mun co-workers,1 which was not cited our article. Ref. [1], the prepared air therefore contained certain amount water. The residual water led to an anodic limit ≈1.24 V vs. standard hydrogen el...

The objective of the present work is to study influence copper nanoparticle concentration on heat transfer performance a mixed base fluid. In study, nanoparticles in ethylene glycol (eg) + propylene (pg) water (W) fluid was analyzed chevron- type plate exchanger. sol-gel method used prepare (100 nm), dispersed two different fluids volume fractions 5%EG 5%PG 90%W and 15%EG 80%W. Experiments were...

OBJECTIVE The alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor 4-methylpyrazole (4-MP) is a new antidote of ethylene glycol (EG) intoxication. The purpose of the present case report was to demonstrate 4-MP efficiency in EG poisoning in a 4-year-old child. METHOD AND RESULTS 4-MP Treatment was performed 7 hours after EG ingestion. Plasma EG and 4-MP concentrations were measured 2 hours after each infusion of 4...
