Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:3367. [PMID: 37631424 PMCID: PMC10458313 DOI: 10.3390/polym15163367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Designing and preparing chloroprene rubber (CR) with robust mechanical and excellent flame retardancy performance are challenging. In this work, a biomimetic design for high mechanical and flame-retardant CR by synchronous introducing of sacrificial bond (disulfide) crosslinked networks into the chemically crosslinked network is developed based on two new types of vulcanization reactions. Under the catalysis of Mg(OH)2, the dynamic bond cross-linked network is formed by the reaction between the amino group of cystamine dihydrochloride (CA) and the allylic chlorine group of CR, while the covalently crosslinked network is synchronously formed by two types of nucleophilic substitution reactions in series between Mg(OH)2 and CR. The disulfide bonds serve as sacrificial bonds that preferentially rupture prior to the covalent network, dissipating energy and facilitating rubber chain orientation, so a CA-0.5 sample (CR/CA(0.5 wt%)/Mg(OH)2 (10 wt%) with dual crosslinked networks exhibits excellent mechanical performance, and the tensile strength and elongation at the break of CA-0.5 are 1.41 times and 1.17 times greater than those of the CR-0 sample with covalently crosslinked networks, respectively. Moreover, the addition of Mg(OH)2 significantly improves the flame retardancy of CR.

Maiti KS. Non-Invasive Disease Specific Biomarker Detection Using Infrared Spectroscopy: A Review. Molecules 2023; 28:2320.

Abstract
Many life-threatening diseases remain obscure in their early disease stages. Symptoms appear only at the advanced stage when the survival rate is poor. A non-invasive diagnostic tool may be able to identify disease even at the asymptotic stage and save lives. Volatile metabolites-based diagnostics hold a lot of promise to fulfil this demand. Many experimental techniques are being developed to establish a reliable non-invasive diagnostic tool; however, none of them are yet able to fulfil clinicians' demands. Infrared spectroscopy-based gaseous biofluid analysis demonstrated promising results to fulfil clinicians' expectations. The recent development of the standard operating procedure (SOP), sample measurement, and data analysis techniques for infrared spectroscopy are summarized in this review article. It has also outlined the applicability of infrared spectroscopy to identify the specific biomarkers for diseases such as diabetes, acute gastritis caused by bacterial infection, cerebral palsy, and prostate cancer.

Abstract
Proteins play an important role in biological and biochemical processes taking place in the living system. To uncover these fundamental processes of the living system, it is an absolutely necessary task to understand the structure and dynamics of the protein. Vibrational spectroscopy is an established tool to explore protein structure and dynamics. In particular, two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectroscopy has already proven its versatility to explore the protein structure and its ultrafast dynamics, and it has essentially unprecedented time resolutions to observe the vibrational dynamics of the protein. Providing several examples from our theoretical and experimental efforts, it is established here that two-dimensional vibrational spectroscopy provides exceptionally more information than one-dimensional vibrational spectroscopy. The structural information of the protein is encoded in the position, shape, and strength of the peak in 2DIR spectra. The time evolution of the 2DIR spectra allows for the visualisation of molecular motions.

Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in human breath not only provide information about the internal chemistry of the body but can also be specific to diseases. Therefore, detection and analysis of specific VOCs can be used for medical diagnostics. However, up until today in spite of several existing VOC-based detection techniques and significant efforts, breath analysis is not a diagnostic method available for clinicians. Infrared absorption spectroscopy is a promising technique to fill this gap, with tens of identified VOCs in breath. Currently, a lack of digital spectral databases and several masking effects make difficult reliable molecular identification of observed absorption features. We demonstrate that calculations of rotational bands of vibrational spectra could serve as a basic method for molecular identification of spectral features observed in experiment. Results of comparison of several known VOCs spectra with the predictions of the theoretical model are presented.

Activation Mechanism of Lead(II) to Ilmenite Flotation Using Salicylhydroxamic Acid as Collector. MINERALS 2020.

Abstract
In this study, salicylhydroxamic acid (SHA), which exhibits superior flotation performance to conventional collector benzohydroxamic acid (BHA), was first introduced in ilmenite flotation. The addition of lead(II) can significantly increase the recovery of ilmenite using SHA as collector. Thus, the adsorption mechanism of SHA on lead(II)-activated ilmenite surface was systematically studied using micro-flotation tests, adsorption analysis, zeta potential measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Micro-flotation results revealed that SHA had stronger collecting ability than BHA, and ilmenite floatability could be activated by lead ions with either SHA or BHA as collector. Ilmenite showed good floatability at pH 6–8 (over 90% recovery) in the presence of Pb2+ and SHA. In such conditions, the main lead species of Pb(OH)+ and Pb2+ acted as active sites and caused positive surface potential shifts, thereby increasing the adsorbed amounts of negatively charged SHA on the surface of the mineral. FTIR and XPS analyses suggested that the lead species was chemically adsorbed on the surface of ilmenite to form active sites chelated by SHA. Moreover, the free lead ions in solution might form the Pb–SHA complexes to adsorb on the mineral surface, thereby increasing the floatability of ilmenite.

Abstract
Bio-fluids are the source of a large number of metabolites. Identification and quantification of them can be an efficient step for understanding the internal chemistry of the body as well as for developing objective diagnostics of diseases. Several techniques have been developed so far; however, their metabolite identification and/or quantification are not reliable enough for acceptance by clinicians. As another promising step in this direction, we push infrared spectroscopy of bio-fluids in gas phase. Here we discuss features of breath and urine headspace realized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Molecular identification procedures based on component analysis of gas samples are proposed. In this paper, we show that aggregate data from different bio-fluids in gas phase can strengthen the diagnostics of the body state and disease.

Abstract
Coupling between C H and C O vibrational modes play an essential role on determination of biological structure and dynamics. However, due to the weakness of the C H absorption and strong absorption of the C O vibrational band make such experiments less straightforward than those with transitions of nearly the same strength. In this communication the characteristics of the C H and C O coupling has been studied using dual frequency two dimensional infrared spectroscopy. 2-Pyrrolidinone has been used as a model molecule of biological system. The coherent and incoherent couplings between C H and C O vibrational bands have been observed. The cross peaks dynamics have been discussed and time constant of the cross peak intensity has been calculated.

Abstract
The effect of the four kinds of red, dark yellow, purple, and black pastes on the properties of fluorine resin/aluminum low emissivity coating was studied. The infrared emissivity coatings with red and black pastes were higher than the coatings with dark yellow and purple pastes. The hardness of the coatings with red, dark yellow, and purple color pastes was 6H, and that with black pastes was 6B. The adhesion and impact resistance of dark yellow coating was better, followed by red and purple, and the adhesion and impact resistance of black coating was the worst. Electrochemical polarization curves indicated that fluorine resin coatings with purple paste had better corrosion resistance. After the salt water resistance test, there was no obvious loss of light in the coatings with the four kinds of color pastes. The purple paste coating had no obvious loss of light and less bubble, suggesting that the fluorine resin/aluminum low emissivity coating with purple paste had better performance. The results of this study provide a new prospect for the application of infrared low emissivity coating in infrared stealth and compatibility with visible light.

Abstract
The separation of sylvite (KCl) and halite (NaCl), two main minerals in potash ores, is difficult because of the high ion concentration, fine particles of NaCl, and aggregation of KCl and NaCl in the saturated system. This study employed ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) as a new depressant and dodecyl morpholine as a collector in the reverse flotation process. The depressing mechanisms were studied by adsorption capacity experiments, infrared spectral analysis, and molecular dynamics simulations. The flotation tests showed that NaCl recovery increased to 97% after the addition of NH4Cl, while KCl recovery was reduced to <1%. Notably, NH4Cl not only acted as a selective KCl depressant, but also activated NaCl flotation. The FTIR measurements showed that NH4Cl was physically adsorbed onto the KCl and NaCl surfaces. Adsorption capacity experiments and molecular dynamics simulations confirmed more favorable NH4Cl adsorption on the KCl surface than on the NaCl surface. Moreover, the KCl mineral surface was more hydrophilic, while that of NaCl was more hydrophobic. Relative concentration analysis revealed that >90% ammonium and chloride ions were distributed 2–10 Å away from the KCl surface but were dispersed on the NaCl surface, indicating that NH4Cl exhibited stronger intermolecular interactions with KCl than with NaCl.
