AbstractThe swelling and exfoliation behaviors of layered potassium ruthenate and the resultant unilamellar crystallites of RuO2.10.2− with nanosheet morphology were studied. The reaction of layered H0.2RuO2.1·0.9H2O with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBA+OH−) was found to be extremely sensitive to the interlayer water content. The use of highly hydrous layered protonic ruthenate was essential for obtaining direct exfoliation. The swelling behavior was also affected by the ratio of TBA+ to ion-exchangeable H+ in the layered compound. At low ratios of TBA+/H+≤1, the layered precursor scarcely exfoliated and mostly deposited as an intercalation compound. In the intermediate TBA+/H+ range, an auburn colloidal suspension containing exfoliated nanosheets was formed, while much larger ratios were less favorable for the exfoliation.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM)-assisted corrosion measurements of poly- and microcrystalline magnesium, of AZ91D magnesium alloys, and of AZ91D alloys with defined amounts of metallic impurities (Cu, Ni, and Si) in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethylsulfonate with variable water contents is reported. Whereas both magnesium and the AZ91 alloys show a tremendous corrosion in aqueous solutions, they are practically inert in the water-free ionic liquid. The apparent electrochemical window of the water-free ionic liquid on magnesium and its alloys can reach values of 10 V and more. The low corrosion rate of AZ91 alloys with metallic impurities, in any case, follows the trend in aqueous solutions: in comparison to the base alloy, the addition of nickel and silicon leads to higher corrosion rates. Upon addition of water to the ionic liquid two effects are observed. The higher the water content in the ionic liquid, the lower the corrosion potential and the higher the corrosion rate. Poly- and microcrystalline magnesium shows a surprisingly complicated corrosion behaviour, which gives rise to different processes during electrochemical polarization. As a proof-of-principle, in-situ AFM measurements were performed on the corrosion of AZ91D alloy in the ionic liquid. No corrosion products are observed at the surface in the water-free ionic liquid by in-situ AFM, even after several hours at +3 V versus a saturated calomel electrode (SCE), which indicates surface passivation in the ionic liquid.

The pre-clinical study of poly (vinyl pirrolidone) (PVP)-k- carrageenan hydrogel has been carried out. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of hydrogel for healing burn injuried in the rats. The hydrogels were prepared by g-irradiation of aqueous solutions of 15 wt.-% PVP and 2 wt.-% k- carrageenan at a sterilization dose of 25 kGy. The physico-chemical properties of hydrogels were investigated. The results showed that the hydrogels suitable as candidate for wound dressing with gel fraction of 90 ± 5 (%), the water absorption was 4500 ± 55 (w/w), the water content was 83 ± 2 (%), tensile strength was 1,5 ± 0,1 kg/cm2 and adhesiveness was 0. The effect of the hydrogel as wound dressing was evaluated by attaching to a burn of the back skin of rats as a function of time observation. Advantages of the hydrogel were slightly faster rate of reducing radius diameter of injured burn skin, easy removal without damage to renewed skin.   Keywords: hydrogel, irradiation, copolymer, PVP, k carrageenan, diameter
