  • The absorption wavelength of the protonated retinal Schiff base can be controlled by the surrounding environment. An external anion is related to fine adjustment of the absorption wavelength. The addition of anion to retinochrome solution caused blue shift in spectra. The increase of the shift was dependent on the ion concentration. The large shift value was obtained as 20 nm at the saturated concentration of nitrate. The shift intensity for the nitrate addition exceeded that of chloride. Seemingly, it depends on the ionic strength or lyotropic character of the anion. However, neither of sulphate nor gluconate ion showed remarkable blue shift. These phenomena were accounted for with (1) delocalization of the positive charge in the conjugated polyene system, (2) ionic bonding strength between the counter ion (glutamate) and the proton, and/or (3) interaction of the added anion with the proton on Schiff base.

  • A simple, inexpensive and less time consuming electrochemical methods were carried out to prepare ordered mesoporous cobalt films. Ordered mesoporous cobalt films were successfully synthesized by templated electrodepostion of hexagonal $H_1$-e Co ion. The electrodeposited mesopores films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), low angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) and voltammetric methods. The applicability of thin films as high - performance super capacitors electrode materials is demonstrated electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique.

  • Four kinds of N,O-hydroxypropyl chitosans (HPCTOs) with degree of substitution(DS) and molar substitution (MS) ranging from 2.47 to 2.52 and 4.9 to 7.8, respectively were synthesized, and their molecular chracteristics and thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystalline properties were investigated. MS was exceedingly larger than DS, showing that in the later stages of reaction, propylene oxide was preferentially added to the side chains rather than the main chain. All the derivatives formed thermotropic cholesteric phases. The glass and clearing temperatures were decreased with increasing MS. The optical pitches (${\lambda}_m$'s) of the thermotropic cholesteric phases increased with temperature. However, the ${\lambda}_m$'s of the derivatives at the same temperature increased with increasing MS. Solutions of HPCTOs in water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, and formic acid containing more than 30 wt% polymer also formed cholesteic phases whose ${\lambda}_m$'s decreased exponentially with increasing polymer concentration. The concentration dependence of ${\lambda}_m$ of HPCTO solutions, however, highly depended on the nature of the solvent and MS. The thermotropic and lyotropic mesophase properties of HPCTOs were significantly different from those reported for hydroxypropyl celluloses. The results indicate that the secondary amino group in the C-2 position plays an important role on the formation, stabilization, and temperature and concentration dependencies of ${\lambda}_m$ of the cholesteric mesophase.

  • Increasing demand for high modulus high strength polymeric materials have drawn considerable interest in industry. Thermotropic liquid crystal polymers (TLCP), differing from lyotropic liquid crystal polymers, have excellent melt processability and mechanical property resulting from the high degree of molecular orientation under a shear flow field in the molten state with relatively low viscosity$\^$1,2/.(omitted)

  • Effects of sodium salts of various monovalent inorganic anions on transdermal permeation of salicylic acid were investigated. In in-vitro experiment using a Franz-type diffusion cell and excisicylic acid were investigated. In-vitro experiment using a Franze-type diffusion cell and excised mouse skin, the permeation-enhancing activities of the sodium salts of inoraganic anions were rougly proportional to lyotropic Hofmeister serlling abilities of the anions l F/sup -/
