ABSTRACTSilicon oxycarbide gels and glasses were synthesized using various ratios of methyldimethoxysilane and TEOS. These gels and glasses were compared with those made from methyltrimethoxysilane and TEOS. The effect of the Si-H functionality in the methyldimethoxysilane was of primary interest. Hydrolysis and condensation processes were monitored using 1H and 29Si-NMR spectroscopy. The structures and the oxycarbide fractions of the glasses, obtained after heating the gels to 900°C in flowing argon, were investigated with 29si-MAS NMR. The total carbon and silicon contents of the glasses were determined using chemical analysis. The glasses covered the range of carbon concentration from ∼1 to 15%, while the silicon concentrations were constant at about 40%. The concentration of the oxycarbide species was enhanced in the glasses synthesized with the Si-H functionality in the precursor.

The structure of Na2O-Al2O3-B2O3 and Na2O-Al2O3-P2O5 glasses with 70 mole% B2O3 or P2O5 and varied Na/Al ratio is investigated using standard 31P MAS NMR and 27Al and UB Satellite Transition NMR spectroscopy. The role of the two network formers on the glass structure is discussed. For the AlOx units and BO3 and BO4 groups both chemical shifts and quadrupole interaction parameters including their distribution widths are reported. Besides this, the advantages of Satellite Transition spectroscopy are demonstrated both for 27A1 and 11B NMR

Phase transformations of Al2O3 and Na2O · 6Al2O3 prepared by the gel route have been investigated for the first time by 27Al MAS NMR spectroscopy in combination with x-ray diffraction. Of particular interest in the study is the kinetics of the γ → α and γ → β transformations, respectively, in these two systems. Analysis of the kinetic data shows the important role of nucleation in both these transformations.

The metabolic profiling of tissue biopsies using high-resolution–magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy may be influenced by experimental factors such as the sampling method. Therefore, we compared the effects of two different sampling methods on the metabolome of brain tissue obtained from the brainstem and thalamus of healthy goats by 1H HR-MAS NMR spectroscopy—in vivo-harvested biopsy by a minimally invasive stereotactic approach compared with postmortem-harvested sample by dissection with a scalpel. Lactate and creatine were elevated, and choline-containing compounds were altered in the postmortem compared to the in vivo-harvested samples, demonstrating rapid changes most likely due to sample ischemia. In addition, in the brainstem samples acetate and inositols, and in the thalamus samples ƴ-aminobutyric acid, were relatively increased postmortem, demonstrating regional differences in tissue degradation. In conclusion, in vivo-harvested brain biopsies show different metabolic alterations compared to postmortem-harvested samples, reflecting less tissue degradation. Sampling method and brain region should be taken into account in the analysis of metabolic profiles. To be as close as possible to the actual situation in the living individual, it is desirable to use brain samples obtained by stereotactic biopsy whenever possible.
