The Role of pH in PEG-b-PAAc Modification of Gadolinium Oxide Nanostructures for Biomedical Applications by Eva Hemmer, Nallusamy Venkatachalam, Hiroshi Hyodo, Kohei Soga

“…It was shown that PEG-b-PAAc (poly(ethylene glycol) poly(acrylic acid) block polymer) is suitable to provide the required chemical durability, dispersion stability, and noncytotoxic behaviour for biomedical applications, where the coating of Gd2O3 with a protecting and biocompatible layer is essential in order to prevent the release of toxic Gd3+ ions. Physicochemical properties of the Gd2O3:Er3+,Yb3+ nanostructures modified with PEG-b-PAAc have been investigated by TG-DTA, FT-IR, and DLS revealing a strong influence of modification conditions, namely, pH of the reaction media, on the nature of the PEG-b-PAAc layer.…”

Study on the Weight and Patterns of Key Controlling Factors for Corrosion in Gathering and Transportation Pipelines of the Sulige Gas Field by JIANG Chengyin, LI Qiongwei, BAI Zilong, HAN Zizi, HUI Baoping, ZHANG Ruoyin, LIU Wei

“…Since the western part of the Sulige Gas Field is a water-bearing gas reservoir， the pipelines are prone to corrosion， which severely affects the normal production operations of the gas field and results in significant economic losses and safety risks.In this study， the corrosion of gathering and transportation pipelines in the target gas field was analyzed.Based on this analysis， corrosion coupon experiments， scanning electron microscopy (SEM)， confocal Raman microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were employed， combined with water and gas quality analyses， to investigate the corrosion patterns of the pipelines.The primary controlling factors of corrosion， including chloride ions，microorganisms， CO2 partial pressure， total pressure and flow rate， were identified.Furthermore， the weight of each controlling factor was determined according to different corrosion characteristics.Results showed that when uniform corrosion of the samples was used as the evaluation criterion， the CO2 partial pressure had the greatest influence on the corrosion rate， accounting for 58.00%of the weight.When pitting corrosion of the samples was used as the evaluation criterion， microorganisms had the greatest influence on the corrosion rate， accounting for 34.00%of the weight.…”

Analysis of Fouling Pattern of Tunnel Drainage Pipe in Karst Areas by Jianbing Lv, Hao Wu, Jia Li, Xiaodong Wan, Helin Fu

“…As the groundwater in karst areas is rich in calcium ions, when the groundwater flows out of the tunnel drainage pipe, calcium carbonate crystals will be precipitated and then adhere to the pipe wall, which will easily cause chemical blockage in the drainage pipe wall, thus affecting the drainage efficiency and leading to the increase of water pressure outside the tunnel lining, affecting the safety and stability of the structure. …”
