Published: June 2018

Summary: Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) coupled to small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), also known as inline SEC-SAXS, is being increasingly used for the structural analysis of biological macromolecules, complexes and mixtures in solution. A single SEC-SAXS run generates thousands of individual SAXS profiles from the eluting solute and their analysis requires a correct identification of buffer and sample regions, a rather laborous task. We present CHROMIXS (as in CHROMatography Inline X-ray Scattering), a program for rapid reduction and analysis, both automatically and interactively, of SEC-SAXS data.

Availability And Implementation: CHROMIXS is freely available to academic users as part of the ATSAS software suite (www.embl-hamburg.de/biosaxs/download.html).

Nitrogen doped Carbon Quantum Dots (NCQDs) have been synthesized using most economical and easiest hydrothermal process. Here, N-phenyl orthophenylenediamine and citric acid were utilised as a source of nitrogen and carbon for the preparation of NCQDs. The synthesized NCQDs were characterized using experimental techniques like UV - Vis absorption, FT-IR, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), EDX, dynamic light scattering (DLS), fluorimeter and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy.

In plain radiography, scattered X-ray correction processing (Virtual Grid: VG) is used to estimate and correct scattered rays in images. We developed an objective evaluation system for bedside chest X-ray images using VG and investigated its usefulness. First, we trained the blind/referenceless image spatial quality evaluator (BRISQUE) on 200 images obtained by portable chest radiography.

Structural Changes in Semi-Crystalline Ethylene-Based Ionomers During the Heating Process.

Polymers (Basel)

December 2024

Graduate School of Organic Materials Science, Yamagata University, 4-3-16 Jonan, Yonezawa 992-8510, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored how different ionic groups in ethylene-based ionomers affect their behavior when heated, focusing on carboxylic acid groups neutralized by Zn and Na ions.
  • Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed two endothermic peaks during heating, with the best melting enthalpy occurring at specific Na/Zn ratios, indicating optimal crystallite growth with both ions.
  • X-ray scattering techniques revealed temperature-dependent phase transitions of the crystals, and expansions of ionic aggregates were linked to the melting of polyethylene crystals, highlighting the relationship between ionic composition, microstructure, and thermal properties.
