Aggregated solutions

Spraying. The coating or aggregative solution can be sprayed from the top (top spray, Figure 8a) or bottom (bottom spray or Wurster when a tube is inserted in the reactor, Figure 8b) or in the particle bed itself. 

At this point, the most delicate stages of the work have to be performed (1) removal of the amino acid from the imprinted porphyrin hetero-aggregate solution (in acidic condition) and (2) cycling between acidic and basic conditions to erase and rewrite the CD signal (i.e. the chiral information). 

Scheme 5 Schematic representation of the possible stirring effect on a J-aggregate solution in which a thermodynamic unbalancing factor is present throughout its formation (A-[Ru(Phen)3]2+ in this case). Stirring is unable to overcome the initial unbalancing. Modified from [62]...

Surfactants are organic molecules that possess a nonpolar hydrocarbon tail and a polar head. The polar head can be anionic, cationic, or nonionic. Because of the existence of the two moieties in one molecule, surfactants have limited solubility in polar and nonpolar solvents. Their solubility is dependent on the hydrophile-lipophile balance of their molecular structure. At a critical concentration, they form aggregates in either type of solvent. This colloidal aggregation is referred to as micellization, and the concentration at which it occurs is known as the critical micelle concentration. The term micelle was coined by McBain (7) to designate the aggregated solute. In water or other polar solvents, the micellar structure is such that the hydrophobic tails of the surfactant molecules are clustered together and form the interior of a sphere. The surface of the sphere consists of the hydrophilic heads. In nonpolar solvents, the orientation of the molecules is reversed. 

To k% solution of proteoglycan, either in the presence of or in the absence of hyaluronic acid, ITRU of the enzyme was added. The viscoelasticity of these reaction mixtures were measured with appropreate intervals (Figure 8). With the aggregate solution the decrease of both moduli was observed. The decrease of storage modulus seemed to stop after some reaction period, but the decrease of loss modulus continued further. 

Dilution of the denatured rhodanese Prepare aggregation solution containing 200 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 200 mM KCl, 50 mM NaCl, and 20 mM MGCb. Put 500 pi of the aggregation solution into an Eppendorf tube and add 4 pi of 100 mM ATP (if necessary), the specified amount of chaperonin, and distilled water to adjust total volume to 950 pi. Transfer the mixture to 1 cm cuvette and add 50 pi of the denatured rhodanese.

In the following, we will discuss the behavior of concentrated solutions of several of the polymers described above in terms of these relations. It is well known that concentrated solutions of rodlike chains will undergo a phase transition from a disordered to an ordered state at some molecular weight dependence concentration.29 in the ordered state the rods form parallel arrays, usually leading to optical anisotropy. The first part of our discussion will be confined to optically isotropic, disordered solutions. In the final parts of this section we will turn to some properties of ordered optically anisotropic solutions and optically isotropic, aggregated solutions. 

The situation is quite different with the rodlike polymer BBL in which case aggregation is accompanied by a drastic change in the nature of the flow curve. With the aggregated solutions the apparent viscosity Increases with decreasing k for small k, giving a flow curve somewhat like that in Fig. 17 for an ordered solution. In this case, however, the effect is caused by the weak inter-... 

If the association is extensive enough a weak solid is formed that will exhibit a yield point. The data in Fig. 24 illustrate the properties observed with such an aggregated solution. For strains less than a critical value Yy of about 5% the creep was fully recoverable and fitted by the cube-root, or Andrade, creep relation for the compliance y(t)/a ...

For the Stark experiments on J aggregates holes were burned with the ring dye laser but scanned with a pulsed dye laser system because of its larger scan range. The aggregate solution was dispersed on an indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate. Maximum field strengths were about 300 kV/cm.
