Background: Bile salts possess unique chemical structural characteristics and are very different from conventional surfactants. Due to the fascinating physiological functions, the bile salts have been widely studied by various physical methods. Last three decades are the witness about rapid studies on bile salts aggregation with surfactant but yet uncertain related to mixed micellar system. Objective: The primary objecti Read More

Background: Gaussian 09 program package was used to optimize the molecular structures and calculate the vibrational wavenumber of cis and trans isomers of oligo acetylene and functionalized oligo acetylene. The geometrical parameters of the more stable conformers are reported and the total energies of the optimized structures were used to calculate the cis-trans relative energies in gas and aqueous phases. Objectiv Read More

Background: The alkali borate glasses containing transition metal ions are of great interest for opto-electronic applications. However, there is no systematic study on the lithium strontium borate glasses doped with CuO. Objectives: The aim of this study is to present a complete structural and optical view of this glass system and the influence of CuO content on these parameters. Methods: Li2O-SrO-B2O3 glasses containing diff Read More

Background: Highly drawn ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is known as an ultrahigh strength material. There are few reports on the relation between the phase structure and molecular mobility depending on temperature. Objective: The purpose of this investigation is to elucidate the phase structure such as crystal, amorphous, and interphase and its temperature dependence for highly drawn UHMWPE. I Read More

Radiocarbon dating of an archeological parchment sample was carried out by carbosorb and benzene synthesis methods. The sample, with few symbolic letters written on it, was claimed to belong to the Harappa civilization (ca. 3000-1500 BC). Objective: Carbosorb and benzene synthesis methods were optimized for radiocarbon dating of parchment samples. Radiocarbon analysis conditions were optimized for liquid scintill Read More

Background: The organocadmium halide complexes, RCdX (R= alkyl/aryl halide) in single step by direct electrochemical synthetic technique in a solution of acetonitrile, alkyl/aryl halide, tetrabutylammonium chloride (as supporting electrolyte) under nitrogen atmosphere by using a high-surface platinum cathode and sacrificial cadmium anode were synthesized. Objective: The coordination complexes were also synthesize Read More

Background: Exact information about micellar feature of Cu (II) Soaps play a vital role in its selection in specific phenomena such as foaming, wetting, detergency, emulsification, etc. and also in their use as herbicides, fungicides, pesticides and insecticides. Copper soaps having a tendency of complex formation with the compounds containing donor atoms like N, O, Br, S, etc. It is well known that benzothiazoles are derivativ Read More
