Different bleaching reagents have different efficiencies of removing chromophore groups from chemical pulps. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different bleaching sequences on the removal of chromophore ...

Chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is an important light-absorbing component of seawater. Yet spectrophotometric determinations of CDOM absorption from existing laboratory methods differ substantially. Since CDOM ...

The methacrylic copolymer functionalized with the azo chromophore 4-[N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxiethyl)]-amino-2′-chloro-4-nitroazobenzene (MMADR13), in its polyelectrolyte form, can be used to fabricate thin films by the ...

A push-pull azo dye (DO3) was used as photosensitive substance to satisfactorily synthesize new epoxy polymers containing azo groups covalently linked. Three different amines BA, TA and MXDA were used as hardeners. Materials ...

Exposure to light has been implicated as a risk factor during aging of the eye lens and in cataract generation. In order to visualize the actual effect of UVA-visible light on this tissue, we incubated water-soluble eye ...

The dideprotonation of 4-(4-nitrophenylazo)resorcinol generates an anionic species with substantial electronic pi delocalization. As compared to the parent neutral species, the anionic first excited electronic transition, ...
