electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy; fabrics; silk; textile fibers; wool
Abstract:
... A naturally occurring electron resonance. spectrum has been detected in raw wool and in exhaustively scoured wool fibers and cloth. A similar resonance has been found in silk fibers. These spectra consist of a single line about 10 gauss wide centered at g = 2.003. Paramagnetic impurities in wool give rise to another much broader resonance which varies in intensity, g-value. and line width. The ori ...
... Irradiation of purified fibrous cotton cellulose I and cotton cellulose II (mercerized) with γ-radiation from Co"" gave products containing relatively stable free radicals, easily shown in electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra. The ESR spectrum of irradi ated cellulose I consisted ,of three, lines, and the spectrum of irradiated cellulose II consisted of five lines. The principal lines of both spe ...
... It was demonstrated, by using electron spin resonance (ESR) 'methods, that free radicals are produced in purified and dyed cotton celluloses by the action of light. Cottons were dyed with 24 different dyestuffs selected from eight broad classifications: direct dyes (either low or high in light-fastness; after-treated with CuSO ₄ or diazotized and developed), soluble ester vat dyes, and vat dyes ap ...
... The e.s.r. spectra generated in methyl α-D-glucopyranoside (1) and some selected derivatives thereof by high-energy radiation have been examined to determine the nature of the radiation damage. Evaluations of the e.s.r. spectra of irradiated methyl tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (2), methyl tetra-O-[(p-ethoxycarbonyl)benzoyl]-α-D-glucopyranoside (3), methyl tetra-O-(p-methoxybenzoyl)-α-D-gluco ...
... A study has been made of the photo-induced free radicals in thiourea/formaldehyde- treated wool and fluorescent-brightened wool after exposure to near uv radiation in the wavelength region 2900-4000 A, and the results are compared with the observed changes in the electronic absorption spectra. Thiourea/formaldehyde treatment of wool significantly protects cystyl residues from disulfide bond ruptur ...
... The esr spectrum observed from a wool sample treated in a copper (II) solution in the pH range of 1.5 to 5.0 was inter preted by assuming two paramagnetic species each with an effective spin S=1/2. The interaction giving rise to this esr spectrum was ascribed to the complex formation between Cu(II) and the free carboxyl groups in the wool. ...
... Concentrations of free radicals, g-values, and line widths were determined for humic acids, fulvic acids, and humins originating from soils of widely differing geographical origins and pedological histories and for humic acids synthesized by fungi in the laboratory. Free radical content decreased in the following order: humins > humic acids > fulvic acids. Line widths decreased in the order: fulvi ...

Abstract:
... The morphological properties as derived from wide- and small-angle x-ray scattering, IR dichroism, electron spin resonance, and electron microscopy, and the anisotropy of mechanical properties of the fiber structure can be well explained by the microfibrillar concept developed on the basis of a detailed study of plastic deformation and fracture of polymer single crystals. The microfibrils bridging ...
copper; electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy; fabrics; textile fibers; wool
Abstract:
... An examination of the Cu (II)/wool esr signal intensity variations, together with other relevant copper (II) uptake data, have shown that two types of products are formed during the Cu (II)/wool interaction. One of these gives rise to the observed esr signal, while the other is a diamagnetic sulfide of copper. The latter product arises as a result of a reaction of the metal ion and the products of ...
copper; electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy; fabrics; kinetics; textile fibers; wool
Abstract:
... The uptakes of Cu(II) by wool are interpreted with the help of a kinetic model developed on the basis of a previously suggested reaction scheme. The kinetic model may be used to obtain information about the Cu(II)/wool interaction. ...
... Interaction of exchangeable copper(II) with montmorillonite was studied by means of infrared and electron spin resonance spectroscopy supported by X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility measurements, and determination of CEC values. The solvation properties of the clays after heat treatment are found to be much different with ethanol than with water. Dehydration of exchangeable Cu(II) allows t ...
... Ferric chloride-photosensitized oxidations of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol (3), 2-propanol, 1-butanol (5), 2-methyl-1-propanol, 2-methyl-2-propanol (7), 1-pentanol, cyclopentanol, and cyclohexanol were conducted in the cavity of an e sr spectrometer at temperature between -150 and -196°, with high-pressure, mercury lamp as the light source except for rigid glasses of 7 plus ferric chloride, all o ...
... The exchange of Na⁺-montmorillonite with Cu²⁺ was studied using X-ray diffraction, electron spin resonance (esr) and a specific Cu²⁺ electrode in order to investigate the hydration and exchange properties of mixed Cu²⁺-Na⁺ clay systems. With < 30% of the exchange sites occupied by Cu²⁺, the clays behave much as pure Na⁺-montmorillonite and swell freely in water. Larger exchange levels of Cu²⁺ prod ...
benzene; cations; chemical structure; copper; electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy; iron; mass spectrometry; molecular weight; phenol; polymerization; sediments; smectite; soil
Abstract:
... When benzene or phenol are adsorbed on smectite containing Fe(III) or Cu(II) on the exchange complex, higher molecular weight products are formed. Evidence for these products is provided by mass spectroscopy. In the case of benzene most of the reaction products cannot be attributed to coupled benzene rings, while extensive coupling occurs for phenol. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy provides e ...
... Fourteen analogues of humic acids (“HA's”) were synthesized from phenols, quinones, and salicylic acid by methods described in the literature. Elemental and functional group measurements, and infrared and electron spin resonance spectroscopy, indicated that seven of these “HA's” were in general similar to natural HA's. These “HA's” were methylated and further investigated by chemical degradation. ...
aqueous solutions; copper; electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy; pepsin
Abstract:
... The interaction of Cu (II) with the protein pepsin has been investigated by means of electron spin resonance (ESR) and optical spectroscopy. Depending on the molar ratio of Cu(II) and pepsin in aqueous solution two different complexes are formed. A third complex can be detected after a reaction time of several days, attributed to a complex with a conformationally changed pepsin. The presence of in ...
... The adsorption of Cu²⁺ at low pH on amorphous alumina gels was studied using electron spin resonance and specific ion electrode techniques. The results, when compared with the inability of alumina to retain Mn²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺, indicated that Cu²⁺ demonstrated a specific preference for alumina. Both Cu²⁺ and Mg²⁺ were found to coprecipitate readily with alumina; however, these ions opened the str ...
... Composts and soil humic acid structures were examined by X-ray, ESR, and IR methods. X-ray diffraction showed three bands at 3.6, 2.1, and 1.2Å for the studied humic acids. These bands occured on the same position as the (002), (10), and (11) of carbon black and were ascribed to aromatic structure or graphite-like layers. The presence of a 7.5Å band in the X-ray diffraction of the examined humic a ...

Abstract:
... The adsorption of Mn²⁺ on two samples of powdered calcite with different surface areas has been studied using atomic absorption and electron spin resonance spectroscopy to investigate the solution and mineral phases. Chemisorption of Mn²⁺ on CaCO₃ surfaces lowered the solubility of Mn²⁺ below the level expected for MnCO₃ precipitation. At high levels of Mn²⁺ in solution, after saturation of surfac ...
