Physical, Thermal and Spectroscopic Studies on Biofield Treated p-Dichlorobenzene
摘要： Para-dichlorobenzene (p-DCB) is widely used as a chemical intermediate in manufacturing of dyes, pharmaceuticals, polymers and other organic synthesis. The aim of present study was to evaluate the impact of biofield treatment on physical, thermal, and spectroscopic properties of p-dichlorobenzene. The p-dichlorobenzene sample was divided into two groups that served as treated and control. The treated group received Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment. Subsequently the control and treated samples were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and UV-Vis spectroscopy. XRD result showed an increase in crystallite size (4.93%) along with alteration in peak intensity of treated sample as compared to control. Furthermore, DSC analysis results showed that the latent heat of fusion of treated p-dichlorobenzene was considerably reduced by 8.66% as compared to control. The reduction in melting point of treated sample (54.99°C) was also observed as compared to control (57.01°C) p-dichlorobenzene. Moreover, TGA/DTG studies showed that Tmax (temperature, at which sample lost maximum of its weight) was increased by 6.26% and weight loss per degree celsius (°C) was decreased by 12.77% in biofield treated p-dichlorobenzene as compared to control sample. It indicates that thermal stability of treated p-dichlorobenzene sample might increase as compared to control sample. However, no change was found in UV-Vis spectroscopic character of treated p-dichlorobenzene as compared to control. These findings suggest that biofield treatment has significantly altered the physical and thermal properties of p-dichlorobenzene, which could make it more useful as a chemical intermediate.

Optical properties and colorimetry of gelatine gels prepared in different saline solutions
摘要： Gelatine has been widely used in many multidisciplinary research fields due to its biocompatibility. Using saline solutions in the gelation of gelatine allows for new properties to be incorporated into the prepared gels. This study examined the optical and colour properties of gelatine gels prepared in saline solutions, containing three different metal chlorides (NiCl2·6H2O, CoCl2·6H2O, and CrCl3·6H2O) with concentrations of up to 50%, to prepare three groups of gels. FTIR spectroscopy indicated a loss in the helical structure of the metal-containing gelatine gels, and a shift in the amide bands towards lower wavenumbers. From the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the starting degradation temperatures (SDTs) of the prepared gelatine gels were found to be correlated to the concentration of the gelling solutions. All SDTs were above 250 °C, making these gels suitable for standing temperatures beyond the daily range. UV–vis spectroscopy showed that d-d transitions were responsible for the colour properties of the metal-containing gelatine gels. It is concluded that the studied properties and the measured parameters were found to depend on both salt type and concentration. With the current findings, the prepared gels can be used as optical thermometers, colour-selective corner cube retroreflectors, laser components, and coatings for OLEDs.

Thermal stability study of transition metal perovskite sulfides
摘要： Transition metal perovskite chalcogenides, a class of materials with rich tunability in functionalities, are gaining increased attention as candidate materials for renewable energy applications. Perovskite oxides are considered excellent n-type thermoelectric materials. Compared to oxide counterparts, we expect the chalcogenides to possess more favorable thermoelectric properties such as lower lattice thermal conductivity and smaller band gap, making them promising material candidates for high temperature thermoelectrics. Thus, it is necessary to study the thermal properties of these materials in detail, especially thermal stability, to evaluate their potential. In this work, we report the synthesis and thermal stability study of five compounds, a-SrZrS3, b-SrZrS3, BaZrS3, Ba2ZrS4, and Ba3Zr2S7. These materials cover several structural types including distorted perovskite, needle-like, and Ruddlesden–Popper phases. Differential scanning calorimeter and thermogravimetric analysis measurements were performed up to 1200 °C in air. Structural and chemical characterizations such as X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and energy dispersive analytical X-ray spectroscopy were performed on all the samples before and after the heat treatment to understand the oxidation process. Our studies show that perovskite chalcogenides possess excellent thermal stability in air at least up to 550 °C.

Optical and structural-chemistry of SnS nanocrystals prepared by thermal decomposition of bis(N-di-isopropyl-N-octyl dithiocarbamato)tin(II) complex for promising materials in solar cell applications
摘要： Mixed ligand precursor complex bis(N-di-isopropyl-N-octyl dithiocarbamato)tin(II) complex was synthesized from its respective dithiocarbamate ligands, characterized and thermalized through thermogravimetric analysis to yield tin sulfide (SnS) nanocrystals. The thermal decomposition pattern was recorded as a function of the required temperature for the formation of the SnS nanocrystals at 360 °C. The SnS nanocrystals were characterized using optical, vibrational, structural and morphological analyses instruments. The obtained orthorhombic phase SnS nanocrystals showed indirect and direct optical energy band gaps close to the 1.5 eV of the bulk SnS.

Synthesis and electro-optic properties of novel Y-type polyimide containing nitrothiazolylazodioxyphenyl group
摘要： New Y-type polyimide (5) containing nitrothiazolylazodioxyphenyl groups as nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores, which are components of the polymer backbone, was prepared and characterized. Polyimide 5 is soluble in common organic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide. Polyimide 5 shows a thermal stability up to 300 °C in thermogravimetric analysis with glass-transition temperature (Tg) obtained from differential scanning calorimetry near 130 °C. The second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient (d33) of poled polymer film at the 1064 nm fundamental wavelength is around 2.32 pm/V. The dipole alignment of polymer 5 exhibits a thermal stability even at 5 °C higher than Tg, and there is no SHG decay below 135 °C due to the partial main-chain character of polymer structure, which is acceptable for NLO device applications.

Some insights into the structure and morphology of surfactant-doped poly(o-toluidine)
摘要： Poly(o- toluidine) (POT) doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) was synthesized by inverse emulsion polymerization and characterized systematically for morphological, structural, electrochemical, and thermal properties with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), X- ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). SEM demonstrated irregular granular morphology of the polymer with high porosity similar to polyaniline (PANI). The size distribution of POT salts was analyzed using Nano Measurer 1.2.5 software from scanning electron micrographs. The semicrystalline nature, with crystallite size and d- spacing in the range of 21.4–30.2 nm and 4.93–4.99 ?, respectively, was confirmed from XRD. The activation energy (Ea) of degradation was calculated from TGA curves using Coats and Redfern (39.92–47.50 kJ/mol) & Horwitz and Metzger (50.09 ? 57.45 kJ/mol) methods, respectively. The small crystallite size, high thermal stability, and high values of the activation energy of degradation reveal that DBSA is an efficient dopant for POT and imparts interesting characteristics to this otherwise less thermally stable polymer. The fast rate of electron transfer of POT, as confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, reveals its high electrochemical activity toward electrolyte. Potentiodynamic polarization measurement of POT- coated stainless steel showed large anodic potential shift as compared to uncoated stainless steel, illustrated good anticorrosion performance. The enhanced anticorrosion performance is due to synergic effect of dopant which increases the contortion of diffusion pathway of corrosive substance.

Effect of hydrogen concentration on graphene synthesis using microwave-driven plasma-mediated methane cracking
摘要： Gas phase graphene forms as an aerosol in a microwave plasma among other carbon forms. Consisting of 2-6 sheets per stack with dimensions between 100 – 500 nm, it is referred to as nanographene (NG). Surprisingly, increasing H/C ratio in the feedstock increases the relative graphitic content of the product. Dependence of the different carbon forms upon H/C ratio of the gas feed mixture is shown across multiple analytical characterizations. Attributes of (a) phase quality (pristine nature of NG) and (b) phase quantity (how much NG forms relative to other carbon sp2 phases) are addressed. Phase identification of the forms is performed via transmission electron microscopy with quantification by thermogravimetric analysis, assessing their respective oxidative reactivity benchmarked to commercially available similar carbon products applied as standards. X-ray diffraction differentiates these forms based on varied extent of graphitic structure. Electron energy loss spectroscopy assesses graphitic content by the ratio of sp2/sp3 bonding. Raman spectroscopy supports the observed shift in relative proportions of the carbon forms towards preferential graphitic content with increasing H/C. Selected area diffraction illustrates this for NG. Fringe analyses of nanostructure quantifies this shift for carbon particles. Infra-red spectroscopy reveals complementary C-H bonding as a measure of graphitic quality.
