This article presents the sol-gel method for depositing La2O3thin films on n-type Si substrates and quartz substrates, and investigates the impact of annealing temperature on the microcomposition, surface morphology, optical properties, and band characteristics of the films. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates that the films are amorphous below 500 °C, with annealing resulting in a hexagonal-phase La2O3(h-a2O3) and new non-hydrated impurities. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis reveals that the prepared La2O3film is unaffected by moisture. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provide evidence that the La2O3film has a smooth, uniform surface without cracks. The roughness increases from 0.426 nm to 1.200 nm, and the film thins from 54.85 nm to 49.80 nm as the annealing temperature rises. The film’s transmittance is above 75%, as measured by UV-Vis, and the calculated optical bandgap increases from 5.11 eV to 5.75 eV. The calculated band offset of the La2O3film is greater than 1 eV, which meets the minimum requirements for MOS devices, thus providing promising prospects for La2O3films in MOS applications.Keywords:high k gate dielectric;sol-gel;La2O3;thin film

Monacolin K (MK), a polyketo secondary metabolic compound of the mold genus Monascus, can promote the apoptosis of malignant cancer cells, possessing potential antitumor properties. However, its mechanism of action on gliomas remains unclear. Here, we explored and investigated the potential of the monacolin K’s antitumor effect on human glioma U251 cells and its possible molecular mechanism. Results showed that the application of 10 μM monacolin K inhibited the proliferation of U251 cells, with an inhibitory rate of up to 53.4%. Additionally, monacolin K induced the generation of reactive oxygen species and activated mitochondria-mediated pathways, including decreased MMP, activation of caspase3/caspase9, decreased Na+/K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase activities, and disruption of the antioxidant system, resulting in the disruption of intracellular reduction–oxidation homeostasis. Monacolin K also activated MAPK and NF-κB pathways, upregulating P38 activity and downregulating JNK/ERK/P65/IκBα expression, ultimately leading to apoptosis of U251 cells. Importantly, monacolin K was not cytotoxic to normal human cells, hUC-MSCs. We concluded that monacolin K can induce apoptosis in U251 cells by triggering ROS-mediated oxidative damage and regulating MAPKs and NF-κB pathways.

The experimental solubility of 2-bromo-5-hydroxypyrazine dissolved in 10 mono-solvents (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), n-propanol, acetonitrile, acetone, ethylene glycol (EG), propylene glycol (PG), water) and cosolvent mixtures of methanol + water, ethanol + water, isopropanol + water, and DMF + water was determined by the isothermal saturation method between 278.15 and 323.15 K at 101.2 kPa. The largest solubility was observed in DMF + 2-bromo-5-hydroxypyrazine for mono-solvent systems and in DMF + water for mixed solvent systems. The Jouyban–Acree model (J–A), van’t Hoff–Jouyban–Acree model (V–J–A), and Apelblat–Jouyban–Acree model (A–J–A) were utilized to correlate the 2-bromo-5-hydroxypyrazine solubility in mixtures, and the Apelblat model, van’t Hoff model, λh model, and Jouyban model were used to correlate the 2-bromo-5-hydroxypyrazine solubility in 10 mono-solvents. The preferential solvation of 2-bromo-5-hydroxypyrazine in mixed solvents was researched by calculation of δx1,3. This study presents insights into modulating the 2-bromo-5-hydroxypyrazine crystallization process and in understanding equilibrium behaviors in different solvents.

Sn-containing dendritic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Sn-DMSNs) were successfully prepared by the in-situ co-assembly method. Sn-DMSNs preserve original structural characteristics with three-dimensional and center-radial pore structure. The nanoparticle sizes of Sn-DMSNs can be controlled systematically from 170 nm to 360 nm depending on the molar ratio of NaSal/CTAB. Sn species are incorporated into the matrix of silica and the highly dispersed SnO x species are achieved. Sn-DMSNs catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic performance and stability in the propane dehydrogenation. The highly dispersed SnO x species rather than polymeric SnO x or crystalline SnO 2 species contribute to the activation of propane and formation of propylene. The molar ratio of NaSal/CTAB also shows an important role in the structure of support and SnO x species. The excellent stability of Sn-DMSNs catalysts can be ascribed to the good ability to restrain coke formation and strong interaction between SnO x species and silica. The effect of potassium on Sn-DMSNs catalyst is also investigated.

n -Hexane is a significant component of industrial fluids. The speed of sound in supercritical n –hexane was measured by Brillouin light scattering (BLS) technique in the temperature range from (509.17–637.99) K along five isobars at p = (3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5) MPa. The relative expanded measurement uncertainty in the speed of sound at the 95% confidence level is estimated to be 0.018. For the studied supercritical n –hexane, the change regularities of the speed of sound with increasing temperature and pressure are illustrated. Moreover, the well-known equation of state (EOS) proposed by Span and Wagner is assessed, and the absolute average deviation (AAD) between the experimental results and the calculated values is 0.89% for the whole examined p – T region.

The working pairs of HFCs + organic absorption solvents are commonly used in absorption systems. In this work, the vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data of HFC-32 + DMETrEG at (293.15–343.15) K and HFC-32 + NMP at (323.15–343.15) K were measured in a dual cycle apparatus. The VLE data were correlated by Antione-type equation, NRTL, and PR + MHV1 + NRTL model, respectively. The predicted VLE data showed a good agreement with the experimental VLE data. NRTL model was recommended to predict the VLE data and characteristic of solution for HFC-32 + DMETrEG and HFC-32 + NMP, compared to PR + MHV1 + NRTL model. The comparison of VLE characteristics for five binary mixtures (HFC-32 + DMETrEG, HFC-32 + NMP, HFC-32 + DMF, HFC-32 + DMAC, and HFC-32 + DMEDEG) was carried out. The compared results showed that the system pressures of HFC-32 + DMETrEG and HFC-32 + NMP were lower than other three mixtures, and the negative deviations from Raoult’s law of HFC-32 + DMETrEG and HFC-32 + NMP were larger than the others, which indicated that the two mixtures were more suitable as the working fluids for absorption system.

The solubility and solution thermodynamics of azacyclotridecan-2-one in different solvents are indispensable for the purification and performance improvement of crystalline products in industry. In this paper, the solid–liquid equilibrium of azacyclotridecan-2-one in 15 pure solvents (methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, n-pentanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, toluene, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, cyclohexanone, and tetrahydrofuran) from 273.15 to 323.15 K at atmospheric pressure was measured. The mole fraction solubility increased with the increase in temperature in all solvents studied. The modified Apelblat equation, Van’t Hoff equation, Buchowski–Ksiazczak λh equation, and nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) activity coefficient model were used to correlate the experimental data. Consequently, some association parameters were obtained. As a result, the NRTL model provided the best fitting. The solubility data provide the basic data for the design and optimization of the azacyclotridecan-2-one crystallization process.

The solubility of calcium formate (form α) in four different binary solvent mixtures (methanol + water, ethanol + water, n-propanol + water, and acetone + water) from 283.15 to 323.15 K was measured by a static equilibrium method under atmospheric pressure. Results indicated that the solubility increased with the increasing temperature and water content in binary mixed solvents. The modified Apelblat equation, the combined nearly ideal binary solvent/Redlich-Kister equation, and the Jouyban–Acree equation were applied for the correlation of experimental solubility, among which the modified Apelblat equation was found to be the best fitting model for the crystallization of calcium formate (form α). This experimental data can be a fundamental guide to choose a suitable crystallization process for calcium formate in industry.

In this work, the encapsulated barium titanate (BT) (C-PEN@BT) nanoparticles were successfully prepared via rotary coating technology combined with a post-treatment chemical bonding process, by using carboxyl-functionalized poly(arylene ether nitrile) (C-PEN) as modification agent. The TEM, FTIR and TGA results confirmed that the polymer layer (about 8 nm) has been uniformly surrounded on the surface of BT nanoparticles. Then, a facilitated physical dispersion technology was employed to prepare C-PEN@BT filled composite films using crystalline PEN as matrix and 4,4′-bis(3,4-dicyanophenoxy)biphenyl (BPH) as a novel cross-linking agent. The effects of both the surface modification of BT nanoparticles and matrix cross-linking on the mechanical, thermal and dielectric properties of PEN-based composites were investigated in detail. Compared with PEN-I film, the latter results showed that the strong interface interactions exerted between polymer matrix and CPEN layer on BT surface, especially the formation of cross-linking network across the PEN matrix, resulted in increased tensile strength and Young’ modulus by 29% and 32%, respectively. More importantly, the PEN/C-PEN@BT composite film shows stable dielectric properties in the temperature range of 20–204 °C, which is very close to the glass transition temperature.

The pyrolysis of metal soaps to produce hydrocarbon rich fuel has been studied extensively. However, the combined effects of microwave radiation and metal ion types on hydrocarbon production have not been addressed. In this study, the microwave and conventional pyrolysis experiments were conducted on five metal soaps (Li soap, Na soap, K soap, Ca soap, Mg soap). The results demonstrated that the metal ions at the carboxyl end of the soap enhanced the polarity of the reactants, leading to a rapid increase in temperature under microwave conditions. With the ion radius increasing, the heating rate increased gradually. Compared with conventional pyrolysis, microwave pyrolysis exhibited a more rapid heating rate, a higher degree of carbon chain fracture, and a greater abundance of small olefin compounds, which promoted aromatization reaction and the release of CO, H 2 and CH 4 . In addition, the composition of the pyrolysis products derived from different metal soaps is affected by the characteristics of metal ions. As the radius of metal ions increased, the oxygen content in the liquid products decreased gradually, while the carbon content increased. The strengthening effect of microwave was further analyzed. With the increase in the radius of metal ions, the strengthening effect of microwaves on olefins formation was gradually weakened, while the inhibiting effect on alkanes formation was gradually enhanced. The structure of carboxylate network is affected by the radius of metal ions, which results in the regular change of the strengthening effect of microwave on olefins and other products. This study is highly significant in guiding the pyrolysis of soapstock waste to prepare olefins and alkanes with high efficiency and low energy consumption.

The thermal conductivity of ammonium sulfate + water, ammonium nitrate + water, and ammonium sulfate + ammonium nitrate + water is of great significance in the national defense industry and military engineering for manufacturing of various energetic chemicals. The measurements, covering a temperature range from (278.15 to 333.15) K, have been performed by a transient hot-wire technique over a wide range of concentrations. The densities of ternary aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfate + ammonium nitrate are also presented at the same temperature covering different portions of ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate. The thermal conductivities of binary aqueous solutions of ammonium salts are correlated by polynomial functions in terms of temperature and weight fraction for the purpose of interpolation. The Aseyev equation in terms of weight fraction is also used to represent the thermal conductivities of ternary mixtures of these compounds. The ideal mixing rule of Young has been successfully applied to correlate the ternary densities of aqueous ammonium sulfate + ammonium nitrate solutions based on relevant binary solution properties. The agreement between the correlation and the experimental data is pretty good.

Densities and viscosities have been measured over the whole composition ranges for the binary mixtures of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane with methylcyclohexane, ethylcyclohexane, or n-butylcyclohexane at temperatures T = (293.15 to 343.15) K and atmospheric pressure. Meanwhile, the refractive indices and surface tensions were measured at T = (293.15 to 323.15) K and T = (293.15 to 308.15) K, respectively. The excess molar volumes, VmE, the viscosity deviations, Δη, and the surface tension deviations, Δγ, for these binary systems are calculated and fitted to the Redlich–Kister equation, and the regression coefficients and the standard deviations of the fittings are given. All of the VmE, Δη and Δγ values are negative over the whole composition range for these systems. The values of ΔnD for these binary mixtures are all small, even negligible. These results may be useful for the development of the hydrocarbon fuels.
