Summary: This article presents novel experimental data on the thermophysical properties of Al2O3/PEG 400 nanoparticle enhanced fluids. The study investigates the influence of temperature variation and nanoparticle mass concentration on the viscosity and heat capacity of the nanofluids. Rheological experiments show that both PEG 400 and the fluids with Al2O3 nanoparticles exhibit Newtonian behavior at two temperatures, with viscosity increasing up to 32% depending on nanoparticle concentration. The viscosity decreases with temperature increase, and a small hysteresis effect is observed for higher nanoparticle loadings. The specific heat of the nanofluids generally increases with nanoparticle concentration and temperature, except for the 5%wt alumina-PEG 400. The article discusses the validity of theoretical correlations for viscosity and proposes new correlations for viscosity and specific heat.

Summary: This study proposes the use of polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG) and trehalose as a surface modification technique to improve PLGA-based nanoparticles as drug carriers for neurons. The combination of PEG and trehalose enhances the hydrophilicity of the nanoparticles and promotes their cellular internalization. Through optimization using central composite design, PLGA nanoparticles with diameters smaller than 200 nm were produced, and the coating process did not significantly increase their size. The nanoparticles showed high curcumin entrapment efficiency and a controlled release profile.

Summary: The solubility of poorly soluble medicine FXT in PEG 400 and water mixtures was investigated in this study. The results showed that increasing temperature and PEG 400 mass fraction can enhance the solubility of FXT, with neat PEG 400 having the highest solubility. The solubilization of FXT in PEG 400 and water mixtures was found to be an endothermic process driven by enthalpy.

Summary: This study reports the fast synthesis of 2-cyanothiazole, an API building block, from cyanogen gas and a readily available dithiane. A previously undisclosed partially saturated intermediate is formed and can be further functionalized and isolated by acylation of the hydroxy group. Dehydration using trimethylsilyl chloride yields 2-cyanothiazole, which can be converted to the corresponding amidine. The overall process provides a 55% yield over 4 steps. It is anticipated that this research will generate further interest in cyanogen gas as a reactive and cost-effective synthetic reagent.

Summary: This paper investigates the hydrothermal performance of a new nanoparticle-enhanced fluid based on polyethylene glycol with ZnO nanoparticles for HVAC applications. The thermophysical properties of the fluid and its variation with temperature at different nanoparticle loading are experimentally determined and implemented in a numerical application. The results show that the newly developed fluid enhances heat transfer efficiency and correlations for both heat transfer and friction factor as a function of relevant operating conditions are developed.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the pH and electrical conductivity of two classes of nanocolloids with PEG 400 as the base fluid. Magnesium oxide (MgO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were added to the base fluid in different mass concentrations. The stability was assessed in terms of pH at room temperature, while the electrical conductivity was examined at both room temperature and elevated temperature. The results showed that the addition of MgO and TiO2 nanoparticles increased the electrical conductivity, with the exact mechanisms still unclear.

Summary: A novel method for selective synthesis of quinolines and methylquinolines was reported without the need for metal or peroxide catalysts. The same substrate can yield different products under varying reaction conditions. PEG-400 serves as both a reactant and solvent, demonstrating potential for further derivatization to bioactive compounds.

Summary: This work introduces the use of rongalite in PEG-400 as a reductive system for the synthesis of chalcogenophenes from 1,3-butadiynes. The system provides nucleophilic chalcogen species that can add selectively to the triple bond, allowing the synthesis of a wide range of chalcogenophenes. The method is environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and allows for the reuse of PEG-400 for multiple reactions.

Summary: We present a synthetic method for pyrrolizine-3-one derivatives and investigate their photophysical properties. These compounds are prepared through a series of reactions involving substituted pyrroles in one-pot, two-step oxidation, and intramolecular cyclization processes. The photophysical properties of the synthesized compounds are studied using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy in various solvents. The introduction of pyrrolyl substituents has a significant impact on Stokes shifts and quantum yield values.
