Organo-Mineral Composite Materials Based on Sodium Liquid Glass, Tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate, Epoxy Oligomer, and Polyisocyanate
Abstract
Organo-mineral composite materials based on sodium liquid glass combined with tolylene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI), polyisocyanate, and epoxy oligomer have been synthesized. When heated, the organic components of the composites form a polymer network through the trimerization reaction and TDI curing of the epoxy oligomer. The composite materials after heating to 130°C have a uniform structure. The resulting hybrid composite materials are not brittle and exhibit enhanced heat resistance as compared to common polyisocyanurate compositions. Hybrid composites can find wide application in various fields of engineering.

Application of SERS and SEF Spectroscopy for Detection of Water-Soluble Fullerene–Chlorin Dyads and Chlorin e6
Abstract
Free fluorescence spectra in solution and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and surface enhanced fluorescence (SEF) spectra of chlorin e6 and water-soluble covalent fullerene–chlorin dyads have been studied. It has been demonstrated that chlorin e6 and covalent fullerene–chlorin dyads have similar characteristic SERS spectra. The fullerene–chlorin dyads show a pronounced SEF signal, while native chlorin e6 has no fluorescence on surface, which is consistent with the theory predicting an inverse dependence of the SEF intensity on the free fluorescence quantum yield. The concentration dependence of the SEF intensity is linear for the dyads in the range 0.1–2.0 μmol/L. These effects allow one to determine, with high sensitivity, the content of fullerene–chlorin dyads with a low quantum yield of free fluorescence in solutions, which opens wide opportunities for study of biological properties of fullerene–chlorin dyads and their applications in medicine.

Wind Tunnel Testing of a Detonation Ramjet Model at Approach Air Stream Mach Number 5.7 and a Stagnation Temperature of 1500 K
Abstract
The mode of continuous detonation combustion of hydrogen in the annular combustor of a model of a detonation air-breathing ramjet at the approach air stream Mach number 5.7 and a stagnation temperature of 1500 K was experimentally detected for the first time in a pulsed wind tunnel. The thrust and fuelbased specific impulse of the ramjet model were 1550 N and 3300 s, respectively.
