✦ Synopsis

A completely degradable melt-processed composite was produced using a phosphate-based glass in the soda-lime-phosphorus pentoxide ternary phase system. In vitro degradation studies showed that the mass loss and mechanical property change could be closely correlated with the solubility rate of the reinforcing glass. The in vivo studies showed a slight inflammatory reaction, but good compatibility. With time, this inflammatory reaction disappeared and the initial reaction was interpreted as being due to a high solubility rate of the glass. The high solubility of the glass was derived not from the composition, but because the glass was in particulate form and therefore had a high surface area. This was of interest, as it showed that the polymer was highly permeable and did not encapsulate the glass as expected with a melt-processing method.

Oxygen interaction of CdS-based gas sens

Oxygen interaction of CdS-based gas sensors with different stoichiometric compositions was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermal-desorption mass spectroscopy observations combined with conductivity measurements. Three different types of film with different atomic ratios of Cd/S were used in the study of oxygen chemisorption in a low-temperature range between 300 and 570 K. Spray pyrolysis was used for the deposition of the films on glass substrates; XPS and energy dispersive spectroscopy of X-ray together with atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used for the characterization of the composition and structure of the films. It was possible to distinguish different temperature ranges for the thermal desorption of the different adsorbed oxygen species. A comparison of the data from XPS and mass-spectroscopy observations with conductance measurements allows to conclude that metallic surface atoms are responsible for different interactions of oxygen species with CdS surfaces.
