Crystal-chemical and structural data related to the equation of state and second-order elastic constants of portlandite Ca(OH)₂ and brucite Mg(OH)₂.

ABSTRACT: This data article reports crystal-chemical and structural data (unit cell parameters and internal coordinates) of two hydroxyl minerals, namely brucite [magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂] and portlandite [calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)₂], which were calculated and employed to derive the mechanical behavior of these solid phases under hydrostatic compression (Ulian and Valdrè, 2018). The dataset has been obtained by ab initio quantum mechanical means, by employing Density Functional Theory methods, in particular the B3LYP hybrid functional, all-electron Gaussian-type orbitals basis sets and a correction to take into account the effects of dispersive forces. Equilibrium and expanded/compressed models of both minerals were realized and geometrically optimized within two space group settings, P3¯m1 and P3¯ .

Nitridic Analogs of Micas AESi3 P4 N10 (NH)2 (AE=Mg, Mg0.94 Ca0.06 , Ca, Sr).

Project description:We present the first nitridic analogs of micas, namely AESi3 P4 N10 (NH)2 (AE=Mg, Mg0.94 Ca0.06 , Ca, Sr), which were synthesized under high-pressure high-temperature conditions at 1400 °C and 8 GPa from the refractory nitrides P3 N5 and Si3 N4 , the respective alkaline earth amides, implementing NH4 F as a mineralizer. The crystal structure was elucidated by single-crystal diffraction with microfocused synchrotron radiation, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (EDX) mapping with atomic resolution, powder X-ray diffraction, and solid-state NMR. The structures consist of typical tetrahedra-octahedra-tetrahedra (T-O-T) layers with P occupying T and Si occupying O layers, realizing the rare motif of sixfold coordinated silicon atoms in nitrides. The presence of H, as an imide group forming the SiN4 (NH)2 octahedra, is confirmed by SCXRD, MAS-NMR, and IR spectroscopy. Eu2+ -doped samples show tunable narrow-band emission from deep blue to cyan (451-492 nm).

Electric field dependence of nonlinearity parameters and third order elastic constants of 0.70Pb(Mg(13)Nb(23))O(3)-0.30PbTiO(3) single crystal.

Project description:Through second harmonic measurements, the ultrasonic nonlinearity parameters of [001](c) and [111](c) polarized 0.70Pb(Mg(13)Nb(23))O(3)-0.30PbTiO(3)(PMN-0.3PT) single crystals have been measured as a function of bias electric field. It was found that the nonlinearity parameter increases almost linearly with field at low field but shows a drastic increase near the coercive field. The [111](c) polarized single domain crystal has much smaller nonlinearity parameter than that of the [001](c) polarized multidomain crystal. Based on effective symmetries of these crystals, we were able to derive the field dependence of several third order elastic constants, which are important parameters for high field applications.

Mg(OH)2 nanosheets on Ti with immunomodulatory function for orthopedic applications.

Project description:Macrophages play a vital role for guiding the fate of osteogenesis- related cells. It is well known that nano-topography and bioactive ions can directly enhance osteogenic behavior. However, the effects of nano-structure combined with bioactive ions release on macrophage polarization and the following osteogenesis and angiogenesis are rarely reported. Herein, Mg(OH)2 films with nano-sheet structures were constructed on the surface of Ti using hydrothermal treatment. The film presented nano-sheet topography and sustained release of Mg ions. The results of in vitro culture of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs), including PCR, western blot and flow cytometry suggested that the nano-Mg(OH)2 films were more favorable for macrophages polarizing to tissue healing M2 phenotype. Moreover, air-pouch model confirmed that the nano-Mg(OH)2 film coated Ti would induce milder inflammation and thinner fibrous layer in vivo, compared with untreated Ti. Furthermore, macrophages-conditioned culture mediums were collected from nano-Mg(OH)2 coated Ti group was superior for the osteogenic behaviors of mice bone marrow stem cells and the angiogenic behaviors of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. With harmonious early inflammatory response and subsequently improved osteogenesis and angiogenesis, the nano-Mg(OH)2 coated Ti is promising for orthopedic applications.

Elastic Shape Analysis of Surfaces with Second-Order Sobolev Metrics: A Comprehensive Numerical Framework.

Project description:This paper introduces a set of numerical methods for Riemannian shape analysis of 3D surfaces within the setting of invariant (elastic) second-order Sobolev metrics. More specifically, we address the computation of geodesics and geodesic distances between parametrized or unparametrized immersed surfaces represented as 3D meshes. Building on this, we develop tools for the statistical shape analysis of sets of surfaces, including methods for estimating Karcher means and performing tangent PCA on shape populations, and for computing parallel transport along paths of surfaces. Our proposed approach fundamentally relies on a relaxed variational formulation for the geodesic matching problem via the use of varifold fidelity terms, which enable us to enforce reparametrization independence when computing geodesics between unparametrized surfaces, while also yielding versatile algorithms that allow us to compare surfaces with varying sampling or mesh structures. Importantly, we demonstrate how our relaxed variational framework can be extended to tackle partially observed data. The different benefits of our numerical pipeline are illustrated over various examples, synthetic and real.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11263-022-01743-0.

Ca(OH)2-mediated activation of peroxymonosulfate for the degradation of bisphenol S.

Project description:Alkaline substances could activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the removal of organic pollutants, but relatively high alkali consumption is generally required, which can cause too high pH of the solution after the reaction and lead to secondary pollution. Within this study, PMS activated by a relatively low dosage of Ca(OH)2 (1 mM) exhibited excellent efficiency in the removal of bisphenol S (BPS). The pH of the solution declined to almost neutral (pH = 8.2) during the reaction period and conformed to the direct emission standards (pH = 6-9). In a typical case, BPS was completely degraded within 240 min and followed the kinetics of pseudo-first-order. The degradation efficiency of BPS depended on the operating parameters, such as the Ca(OH)2, PMS and BPS dosages, initial solution pH, reaction temperature, co-existing anions, humic acid (HA), and water matrices. Quenching experiments were performed to verify that singlet oxygen (1O2) and superoxide radicals (O2˙-) were the predominant ROS. Degradation of BPS has been significantly accelerated as the temperature increased. Furthermore, degradation of BPS could be maintained at a high level across a broad range of pH values (5.3-11.15). The SO4 -, NO3 - did not significantly impact the degradation of BPS, however, both HCO3 - and HA inhibited oxidation of BPS by the Ca(OH)2/PMS system, and Cl- had a dual-edged sword effect on BPS degradation. In addition, based on the 4 identified intermediates, 3 pathways of BPS degradation were proposed. The degradation of BPS was lower in domestic wastewater compared to other naturals waters and ultrapure; nevertheless, up to 75.86%, 77.94% and 81.48% of BPS was degraded in domestic wastewater, Yaohu Lake water and Poyang Lake water, respectively. Finally, phenolic chemicals and antibiotics, including bisphenol A, norfloxacin, lomefloxacin hydrochloride, and sulfadiazine could also be efficiently removed via the Ca(OH)2/PMS system.

Enhanced corrosion resistance and cytocompatibility of biodegradable Mg alloys by introduction of Mg(OH)2 particles into poly (L-lactic acid) coating.

Project description:A strategy of suppressing the fast degradation behaviour of Mg-based biomaterials by the introduction of one of Mg degradation products Mg(OH)2 was proposed according to the following degradation mechanism, Mg + 2H2O ⇋ Mg(OH)2 + H2↑. Specifically, Mg(OH)2 submicron particles were mixed into poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) to synthesize a composite coating onto hydrofluoric acid-pretreated Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy. The in vitro degradation investigations showed that the addition of Mg(OH)2 particles not only slowed down the corrosion of Mg matrix, but also retarded the formation of gas pockets underneath the polymer coating. Correspondingly, cytocompatibility results exhibited significant improvement of proliferation of endothelial cells, and further insights was gained into the mechanisms how the introduction of Mg(OH)2 particles into PLLA coating affected the magnesium alloy degradation and cytocompatibility. The present study provided a promising surface modification strategy to tailor the degradation behaviour of Mg-based biomaterials.

Structure and Physical Properties of Mg93-xZnxCa7 Metallic Glasses.

Project description:The Mg-Zn-Ca system has previously been proposed as the most suitable biodegradable candidate for biomedical applications. In this work, a series of ribbon specimens was fabricated using a melt-spinning technique to explore the glass-forming ability of the Mg-Zn-Ca system along the concentration line of 7 at.% of calcium. A glassy state is confirmed for Mg50Zn43Ca7, Mg60Zn33Ca7, and Mg70Zn23Ca7. Those samples were characterised by standard methods to determine their mass density, hardness, elastic modulus, and crystallisation temperatures during devitrification. Their amorphous structure is described by means of pair distribution functions obtained by high-energy X-ray and neutron diffraction (HEXRD and ND) measurements performed at large-scale facilities. The contributions of pairs Mg-Mg, Mg-Zn, and Zn-Zn were identified. In addition, a transformation process from an amorphous to crystalline structure is followed in situ by HEXRD for Mg60Zn33Ca7 and Mg50Zn43Ca7. Intermetallic compounds IM1 and IM3 and hcp-Mg phase are proposed to be formed in multiple crystallisation eventss.

Multifunctional PDO Thread Coated with Mg(OH)2/ZnO Nanoparticles and Asiaticoside for Improved Facial Lifting.

Project description:As interest in skin aesthetics increases, treatments to suppress aging are increasing. Among them, a facelift is the most effective procedure for improving wrinkles. However, side effects including inflammatory reactions occur due to the limitations of the PDO thread itself used during the procedure. In this paper, to improve the function of PDO thread, inorganic particles such as magnesium hydroxide (MH) and zinc oxide (ZO) and a biologically active agent, asiaticoside, were coated on the surface of PDO thread using ultrasonic coating technology. The coated thread exhibited excellent biocompatibility, promoted collagen synthesis, reduced inflammation, and stimulated angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. The multifunctional PDO thread has shown promising potential for skin regeneration without inducing fibrosis. Such a practical coating system and the developed multifunctional PDO thread suggest new possibilities for developing safer and more effective materials in cosmetic and regenerative medicine to prevent aging and improve skin aesthetics.
