Fluorene and its derivatives which have an aromatic biphenyl structure with wide energy gap in the backbone and high luminescent efficiency have been drawn much attention to materials chemists and device physicists. In this research, 9,9-Bis(methoxycarbonylethy)fluorene and fluorene-containing polyester were prepared and their chemical structure and properties were initially studied. Furthermore, It is found that this fluorene-containing polyester might be a promising candidate for electroluminescent materials due to its excellent luminescent properties, solubility, film-forming property and thermal stability.

In this work, 2,5-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (2F-Oz) is synthesized and successfully polymerized with 4-(4-hydroxyaryl)-phthalazin-1-one (DHPZ) through polycondensation to produce poly(ether 1,3,4-oxidiazole) containing phthalazinone units (PPEO) with intrinsic viscosity 1.54 dL g−1. A series of sulfonated poly(ether-1,3,4-oxidiazole)s (SPPEOs) with different degrees of sulfonation are prepared via postsulfonation reaction. The chemical structure of PPEO and SPPEOs was characterized through FT-IR and proton nuclear magnetic resonance, respectively. SPPEOs have excellent film-forming properties and readily dissolve in polar aprotic solvents, such as dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), and so on. The water uptake of these SPPEO membranes with measured ion-exchange capacity of 1.13–1.61 mmol g−1 was 15.7–34.1% at 25°C and 17.9–59.8% at 60°C, and swelling ratio was 5.9–14.2% at 25°C and 6.6–18.1% at 60°C, respectively. The proton conductivity of SPPEO-1.61 is 0.045 S cm−1 at 30°C and 0.065 S cm−1 at 80°C, and the tensile strength of the SPPEO-1.61 is 48 MPa, and its elongation at break was 21%. The thermal and chemical stability of the SPPEOs is also examined.

In this research, a new quaternary ammonium polyether blocked polysiloxane (QBPEAS) was synthesized by reaction of epoxy polyether terminated polydimethylsiloxane with tetramethylethylenediamine. The chemical structure of QBPEAS was characterized by IR and 1H-NMR. And then the film morphology on fiber substrates was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that QBPEAS has a good film-forming ability and can form a macro-smooth Sloane film on the treated fiber surface. In addition, QBPEAS could obviously decrease the bending rigidity and improve the hydrophilicity of the treated fabrics, but has little influence on the fabric whiteness.

All serious electron microscopists at one time or another have been concerned with the cleanliness and freedom from artifacts of thin film specimen support substrates. This is particularly important where there are relatively few particles of a sample to be found for study, as in the case of micrometeorite collections. For the deposition of such celestial garbage through the use of balloons, rockets, and aircraft, the thin film substrates must have not only all the attributes necessary for use in the electron microscope, but also be able to withstand rather wide temperature variations at high altitude, vibration and shock inherent in the collection vehicle's operation and occasionally an unscheduled violent landing.Nitrocellulose has been selected as a film forming material that meets these requirements yet lends itself to a relatively simple clean-up procedure to remove particulate contaminants. A 1% nitrocellulose solution is prepared by dissolving “Parlodion” in redistilled amyl acetate from which all moisture has been removed.

In this introductory paper, my primary concern will be in identifying and outlining the various types of inelastic processes resulting from the interaction of electrons with matter. Elastic processes are understood reasonably well at the present experimental level and can be regarded as giving information on spatial arrangements. We need not consider them here. Inelastic processes do contain information of considerable value which reflect the electronic and chemical structure of the sample. In combination with the spatial resolution of the electron microscope, a unique probe of materials is finally emerging (Hillier 1943, Watanabe 1955, Castaing and Henri 1962, Crewe 1966, Wittry, Ferrier and Cosslett 1969, Isaacson and Johnson 1975, Egerton, Rossouw and Whelan 1976, Kokubo and Iwatsuki 1976, Colliex, Cosslett, Leapman and Trebbia 1977). We first review some scattering terminology by way of background and to identify some of the more interesting and significant features of energy loss electrons and then go on to discuss examples of studies of the type of phenomena encountered. Finally we will comment on some of the experimental factors encountered.

With the development of soft, film forming latexes for use in paints and other coatings applications, it became desirable to develop new methods of sample preparation for latex particle size distribution studies with the electron microscope. Conventional latex sample preparation techniques were inadequate due to the pronounced tendency of these new soft latex particles to distort, flatten and fuse on the substrate when they dried. In order to avoid these complications and obtain electron micrographs of undistorted latex particles of soft resins, a freeze-dry, cold shadowing technique was developed. The method has now been used in our laboratory on a routine basis for several years.The cold shadowing is done in a specially constructed vacuum system, having a conventional mechanical fore pump and oil diffusion pump supplying vacuum. The system incorporates bellows type high vacuum valves to permit a prepump cycle and opening of the shadowing chamber without shutting down the oil diffusion pump. A baffeled sorption trap isolates the shadowing chamber from the pumps.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have attracted much attention due to their useful properties and applications. These properties are quite variable depending on film preparation techniques and conditions, DLC is a metastable state formed from highly non-equilibrium phases during the condensation of ionized particles. The nature of the films is therefore strongly dependent on their particular chemical structures. In this study, electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) was used to investigate how the chemical bonding configurations of DLC films vary as a function of sputtering power densities. The electrical resistivity of the films was determined, and related to their chemical structure.DLC films with a thickness of about 300Å were prepared at 0.1, 1.1, 2.1, and 10.0 watts/cm2, respectively, on NaCl substrates by d.c. magnetron sputtering. EEL spectra were obtained from diamond, graphite, and the films using a JEOL 200 CX electron microscope operating at 200 kV. A Gatan parallel EEL spectrometer and a Kevex data aquisition system were used to analyze the energy distribution of transmitted electrons. The electrical resistivity of the films was measured by the four point probe method.

While the use of vinegar to fi ght against infections and other crucial conditions dates back to Hippocrates, recent research has found that vinegar consumption has a positive effect on biomarkers for diabetes, cancer, and heart diseases. Different types of vinegar have been used in the world during different time periods. Vinegar is produced by a fermentation process. Foods with a high content of carbohydrates are a good source of vinegar. Review of the results of different studies performed on vinegar components reveals that the daily use of these components has a healthy impact on the physiological and chemical structure of the human body. During the era of Hippocrates, people used vinegar as a medicine to treat wounds, which means that vinegar is one of the ancient foods used as folk medicine. The purpose of the current review paper is to provide a detailed summary of the outcome of previous studies emphasizing the role of vinegar in treatment of different diseases both in acute and chronic conditions, its in vivo mechanism and the active role of different bacteria.
