Measurements of the ultrasonic absorption and velocity, and viscosity have been carried out in the system methanol–water at 0, 15, and 25 °C at frequencies from 10 to 50 MHz. The data show the existence of two maxima in the excess absorption as a function of composition. The existence of the two maxima are predicted by the Romanov–Solovyev theory relating the absorption to concentration fluctuations. The magnitude of the excess absorption is calculated at 25 and 0 °C from density, vapour pressure, and diffusion data. New experimental data on density and vapour pressure are presented for this system at 0 °C. The calculated excess absorption is in reasonable agreement with the measured. This indicates that any specific localized intermolecular interactions present in this system could be responsible for at best a smaller portion of the excess ultrasonic absorption, as longer range concentration fluctuations account for essentially all of the excess. Ultrasonic data on the systems methanol–octanol and n-propanol–water are also presented in the course of examining the generality of these phenomena.

AbstractPulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR technique has been applied to study molecular transport in two different types of nanostructured materials, viz. in fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts and in lipid membranes. Diffusion studies have been performed for a broad range of molecular displacements covering displacements that are as small as a fraction of a micron. The effective diffusivities recorded on various length scales are used to evaluate the relevance of various transport modes in the particles of FCC catalysts for the rate of molecular exchange between catalyst particles and the surrounding atmosphere. This rate is shown to be primarily related to the diffusion in the meso- and macropores of the particles under the condition of fast molecular exchange between these pores and the zeolite crystals located in the particles. Studies of lipid membranes are focused on developing fundamental understanding of the influence of various types of domains on lateral mobility of lipids. A meaningful study of this influence requires an ability of monitoring lipid diffusion for different displacements that are smaller and larger than the domain size. First PFG NMR data along this direction are presented.

A 16 X 10(6)-Mr glycoprotein isolated from bovine oestrus cervical mucus when reduced under conditions where disulphide-bond cleavage is essentially quantitative produces chains whose Mr from light-scattering and from sedimentation and diffusion data is some 4 X 10(6)-5 X 10(6). Pronase digestion of the chains indicates that glycosylated sequences of Mr 0.3 X 10(6)-0.5 X 10(6) are interspersed with enzyme-susceptible non-glycosylated peptide sequences.

AbstractA comparison is made of, ordering kinetics for Cu3Au, (Tc = 388 ° C), Ni3Mn (Tc = 500° C) Ni3Fe (Tc = 517°C) and Ni3Al (Tc = 1450 ° C), which all form the L12 superlattice, and these kinetics are correlated with diffusion data for the same alloys. Comparing different alloys, it is shown that for a fixed relaxation time for the establishment of order, the lower is the self-diffusivity, Ds, of the slowest-diffusing species, the higher the critical temperature, Tc, for the first appearance of order. Ni3A1, in particular, has an estimated Ds of about 5 orders of magnitude lower, on average, than the three other alloys. The implications of this inverse relation between Tc and Ds are discussed in relation to published models for diffusion in ordered alloys and ordering kinetics.
