Boron oxide glasses usually show low glass transition temperature Tg due to the three-fold oxygen coordination of boron. Adding of alkali and alkaline earth oxides to the glass composition will not decrease but increase Tg due to a change in boron coordination from trigonal to tetrahedral, known as the boron anomaly. Only for higher fractions of alkali oxides, non-bridging oxygens (NBO) are progressively formed in competition with tetrahedrally coordinated boron, which leads to a decrease in viscosity.
ln contrast to this well-known behavior of alkali oxides (R2O), there is little known about adding H2O to borate glasses. The present work therefore aims in shedding light on the rheological properties of hydrous soda lime borate glasses with particular focus on the role of water. For doing so, we determined Tg as a function of Na2O and H2O content using differential thermal analysis (DTA) backed up by micropenetration viscosity measurements. Results show that water decreases Tg for all glasses and water concentrations under study (< 8 wt.% total water). Obviously, water mostly causes the formation of NBO having no significant influence on boron coordination as seen for alkaline.
Coumarin-rhodamine hybrids-novel probes for the optical measurements of viscosity and polarity
(2017)
A comprehensive systematic study of Absorption and fluorescence properties in solvents of varying viscosity and polarity of three novel and red-emitting coumarin-rhodamine hybrid derivatives with differences in the rigidity of their substituents is presented. This includes ethanol-polyethylene glycol, toluene-polyethylene glycol, and tolueneparaffin mixtures. Moreover, protonation-induced effects on the spectroscopic properties are studied. A viscosity-induced emission enhancement was observed for all coumarin-rhodamine hybrid derivatives. MCR2 bearing a julolidine donor showed the expected low sensitivity to viscosity whereas MCR3 with its freely rotatable diphenylamino Substituent revealed a particularly pronounced sensitivity to this parameter.
Moreover, MCR2 shows an enhancement in Emission in the open, i.e., protonated form in conjunction with a largely Stokes shift fluorescence in the deep red spectral region. This enables the application of these dyes as viscosity sensors and as far red emitting pH-sensitive probes.
We designed and synthesized triphenylamine based and coumarin fused rhodamine hybrid dyes and characterized using 1H, 13C NMR and HR-LCMS analysis. Both the newly synthesized hybrid dyes were found to show red shifted absorption as well as emissions and large Stokes shift (40e68 nm) as compared to the small Stokes shift (25e30 nm) of reported dyes Rhodamine B and 101. Photophysical properties of these dyes were studied in different solvents and according to the solvents acidity or basicity they preferred to remain in their spirocyclic or open form in different ratio. We studied the spirocyclic as well as open form derivatives of these dyes for their viscosity sensitivity in three different mixture of solvents i.e. polar-protic [EtOH-PEG 400], polar-aprotic [toluene-PEG 400] and non-polaraprotic [toluene-paraffin]. They are found to show very high viscosity sensitivity in polar-protic mixture of solvents [EtOH-PEG 400] and hence concluded that both polarity as well as viscosity factor worked together for the higher emission enhancement rather than only viscosity factor. As these dyes showed very high viscosity sensitivity in their spirocyclic as well as open form, they can be utilized as viscosity sensors in visible as well as deep red region. We also correlated our experimental finding theoretically by using Density Functional theory computations.
Most factors acting on concrete rheology work at an extremely small-scale level. Influencing factors in the millimetre or centimetre area are essentially restricted to sand and aggregates. The latter, however, make up 50 to 70% of the total volume of most concretes – a fact often ignored in research on controlling concrete processing properties.
Whereas suitably chosen concrete admixtures and additives can influence rheology in a very targeted manner, sand and aggregates are less suitable for controlling rheology but nonetheless contribute to the rheology of the Overall system. The actions of sand and aggregate can impose themselves upon the actions of admixtures and additives
and, in unfavourable circumstances, even render them redundant. For this reason, any results concerning the processability of binding agent systems can only be transferred to concrete with great care. It is important to better understand the action of sand and aggregates in order to be able to harmonise them in such a way that they complement the action of superplasticisers positively, instead of
working against them. Savings on costs can also be made by this targeted fine-tuning.
