Advances in Poly(4-aminodiphenylaniline) Nanofibers Preparation by Electrospinning Technique.

Polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers are drawing a great deal of interest from academia and industry due to their multiple applications, especially in biomedical field. PANI nanofibers were successfully electrospun for the first time by MacDiarmid and co-workers at the beginning of the millennium and since then many efforts have been addressed to improve their quality. However, traditional PANI prepared from aniline monomer shows some drawbacks, such as presence of toxic (i.

Glycerol hydrogenolysis promoted by supported palladium catalysts.

Catalytic hydrogenolysis, with high conversion and selectivity, promoted by supported palladium substrates in isopropanol and dioxane at a low H(2) pressure (0.5 MPa), is reported for the first time. The catalysts, characterized by using BET isotherms, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), were obtained by coprecipitation and impregnation techniques.

[Control of plasma aluminium in hemodialyzed patients. Optimization of the method].

As concerning biological matrix, the analytic technique in AA-ETA if on one hand shows remarkable sensitivity, on the other it offers reasons that make it not much reproducible. Our aim has been to optimize and standardize the methodic for the dosage of the Al-s paying a special attention on the contamination risks and on the interference problems in reading phase. If we choose accurately consumption materials and the reagents, aluminium contamination problems may be remarkably reduced avoiding all those decontamination operations often complicated; besides it is possible optimize a thermical program which allows the dosage of the Al-s without using chemical modificator.
