The copolymerization of propylene oxide (PO) with styrene (St) catalyzed by Maghnite-H+ (Mag-H+) was investigated. Mag-H+, a nontoxic catalyst for cationic polymerization of vinylic and heterocyclic monomers, is a montmorillonite silicate sheet clay. This catalyst was prepared through a straight forward proton exchange process. It was found that Mag-H+ initiates the copolymerization in bulk at room temperature. Various techniques, including H1NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR spectroscopy, and Ubbelohde viscometer, were used to elucidate the resulting copolymers' structural characteristics. The effects of the amount of Mag-H+ and propylene oxide were studied. The yield of copolymerization depends on the amount of Mag-H+ used and the reaction time.

Synthesis Conditions

Titanium dioxide (B phase) with 1-D structures was successfully fabricated via a hydrothermal method with a subsequent ion-exchange process and calcination. P25, titanium isopropoxide (TTIP), rutile and also anatase were used as Ti precursors in the alkali hydrothermal system. TTIP promoted an elongation of nanorod morphology whereas the other precursors produced short nanorod structures. The different types of titanium precursors did not have any influence on the phase transformation during the fabrication process. Na2Ti6O13 was the primary intermediate product after washing the hydrothermal sample. H2Ti3O7 was the secondary intermediate phase obtained following proton-exchange of Na2Ti6O13 in HNO3 solution. Finally, the TiO2(B) phase was the product of calcination of the secondary intermediate product at 400°C for 5 hr. A phase transformation mechanism is presented based on an investigation of products at each of the steps. The effects of the synthesis conditions on tailoring of the crystal morphology are discussed. The growth direction of the TiO2(B) nanorods was investigated by HR-TEM and SADP. Finally, the metastable phase of TiO2(B) was shown to be transformed to anatase during thermal treatment at temperatures higher than 400°C.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the renal uptake properties of the cytidine analog and antiretroviral agent 3TC. The uptake of radiolabelled 3TC was measured at 37°C in a continuous porcine renal epithelial cell line (i.e., LLC-PK1 cells) grown as a monolayer on an impermeable support. 3TC (5 µM) uptake (37°C) by the monolayer cells was saturable (Km = 1.2 ± 0.2 mM) but not significantly altered by various dideoxynucleoside analog drugs, nucleosides, and nucleoside transport inhibitors, suggesting that a nucleoside transporter is not involved in 3TC uptake. A number of endogenous organic cation probes and inhibitors significantly reduced 3TC uptake by the monolayer cells. Quinine, trimethoprim (TMP), and tetraethylammonium (TEA) inhibited 3TC uptake in a dose dependent manner with IC50 values of 0.6mM, 0.63mM, and 1.9 mM, respectively. In turn, the uptake of the typical organic cation substrate TEA was inhibited by high concentrations of 3TC. An outwardly directed proton gradient significantly increased the uptake of 3TC by the monolayer cells, suggesting the involvement of a proton exchange process. Conversely, in the presence of monensin, a Na+/H+ ionophore, the uptake of 3TC was significantly reduced. These results suggest that the uptake of 3TC by a cultured renal epithelium may be mediated by an organic cation-proton exchanger. The observed clinical interaction between 3TC and trimethoprim may be explained by competition for a common renal organic cation tubular transporter.Key words: 3TC, kidney, uptake, LLC-PK1, tubular elimination.

The proton magnetic resonance spectra of solutions of mesitylene, durene, pentamethylbenzene, hexamethylbenzene, m- and p-xylenes, and anisole have been studied in fluorosulphuric acid and protonation on the ring carbon atom established. Rates of proton exchange have been measured and activation energies calculated for the proton exchange process. Intermolecular exchange with the solvent is suggested as the most probable exchange process in all cases.

ABSTRACTThe H and Li profiles in proton-exchanged (PE) LiNbO3, have been measured using elastic recoil detection (ERD). Profiles were determined as a function of crystal orientation, time after PE, annealing temperature, MgO-doping, and added Li-benzoate to the benzoic acid proton source. The proton-exchange process produces Hx Li1−x NbO3 structures where x stabilizes near values of x=0.5 or x=0.7-0.75 depending on specific conditions. The ERD measurements represent the first direct and simultaneous measurements of H- and Li-concentrations in PE LiNbO3 and their variation with process parameters.

Optical Wave Guide

<p>For the investigation of optical modulator, the optical wave-guide was fabricated on x-cut LiNbO<sub>3</sub> substrate using proton exchange method with self-aligned electrode. The electrode pattern was designed using a self-aligned thin film electrode method. After proton exchange process, the wave-guide could be prepared by annealing process to control the width and depth of the optical wave-guide. The initial crossover state of the fabricated 1´2 optical switch was observed with controlling the annealing process variables and the structure of self-aligned thin film electrodes. As the results in the present work, the measured cross talk and minimum detectable switching voltage were obtained at the values of -29.5dB and 8.0V, respectively, with good merits.</p>
