The feature of this method is the efficient oxygenation of even those sulfides, which are linked to electron-withdrawing groups, [cf. (If)]. No over-oxidation of sulfoxide to sulfone is observed.-(KUMAR, V.;

Açaí (cabbage palm) fiber, which is removed from the seed, has been slightly investigated, as compared to what is already known about the fruit pulp. In this study, the influence of açaí fiber as an element of reinforcement in recycled everyday usage thermoplastics using simple, low cost methodology was evaluated. Recycled matrixes of high impact polystyrene and polypropylene were molded by hot compression from which the fiber composites were obtained. The FTIR technique showed that the process was efficient in preventing degradation of the açaí fibers. The influence of the fiber on the mechanical behavior of the recycled matrixes was investigated by microscopic images of compression and impact tests. The results showed better impact performance for the fiber combined with the polymeric matrixes.

The meta derivative shows anticancer activity against HeLa and A549 cell lines, whereas the para derivative causes proliferation of HL-60 cells, whilst showing toxicity towards A549 cells.

The electrodes consisting of graphite powder, homogeneously dispersed in a hydrophobic silica matrix, were prepared by reaction of a methyltrimethoxysilane-based sol and graphite powder following a sol-gel methodology. The electrode surface was modified with different amounts of redox liquids (pure t-butylferrocene, solutions of t-butylferrocene in 2-nitrophenyloctylether, and N,N,N ,N-tetraoctyl-1,4phenylenediamine) using hexane solutions and a solvent evaporation approach. For comparison, a glassy carbon electrode modified analogously with t-butylferrocene was also prepared and studied. The electrochemical behaviour of the electrodes was examined by cyclic voltammetry in aqueous salt solutions. The electrodes exhibited anticipated electroactivity connected with the presence of redox liquids. The shape of voltammograms and the degree of conversion were very different for processes on CCEs compared to those observed on glassy carbon. Presumably due to the promotion of formation of microphases, the magnitude of the current responses obtained with CCEs modified with t-butylferrocene is substantially larger than that obtained with GC electrodes modified with the same amount of redox liquid. In contrast to CCEs modified with diluted and undiluted t-butylferrocene where after 5-10 scans stable voltammetric curves were obtained, glassy carbon failed to give stable cyclic voltammograms. The results can be explained by the extent of triple interface formation in the CCE silicate network. Due to the electrode microstructure, the voltammetric response of CCEs modified with microphases of N,N,N ,N-tetraoctyl-1,4-phenylenediamine shows similar enhancement effects.

The oxidation process in the absence of HDOP is accompanied by transfer of the anion (perchlorate or phosphate) from the water into the organic phase. However, in the presence of HDOP, oxidation is accompanied by proton exchange instead. This electrochemically driven proton exchange process occurs over a wide pH range. Organic microdroplet deposits of DDPD in HDOP at basal plane pyrolytic graphite electrodes are studied by voltammetric techniques and compared in their behavior to organic microphase deposits in mesoporous TiO 2 thin films. The mesoporous TiO 2 thin film acts as a host for the organic liquid and provides an alternative biphasic electrode system compared to the random microdroplet/graphite system. Two types of mesoporous TiO 2 thin-film electrodes, (i) a 300-400-nm film on ITO and (ii) a 300-400-nm film on ITO sputter-coated with a 20-nm porous gold layer, are investigated.
