On the other hand, boron oxide is chemically hygroscopic. This gives the molecule the ability to soak up water and adhere to tissues. Boron oxide can be used locally after tumor debulking in inoperable tumors and especially when the tumor-free margin distance cannot be provided. For all these reasons we aimed to evaluate the in vitro test results of B2O3 in terms of cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, apoptosis, and necrotic effects on L929 fibroblast cells and DLD-1 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. Our studies demonstrated that boron oxide compounds appear to be highly cytotoxic for both cell lines according to WST cell viability assay (44.22% and 18.36% on DLD-1 and L929, respectively).

  • Position Paper of the European Glass Industry on the Proposed Inclusion of Boron Trioxide on the Candidate List for Authorization
    Position Paper of the European Glass Industry on the Proposed Inclusion of Boron Trioxide on the candidate list for authorization April 2012 Glass manufacturers support the REACH Regulation and believe that a reduction of the risk associated with worker exposure and the environmental impact of dangerous substances is welcome in the EU Market. Glass Alliance Europe welcomes the opportunity to provide its contribution to the public consultation on the inclusion of boron trioxide in the candidate list for authorization of the REACH Regulation. CONTRIBUTION TO THE CONSULTATION PROCESS Germany submitted to ECHA an Annex XV dossiers for the identification of boron trioxide as a Substance of Very High Concern to be included in the candidate list for authorization. The rationale for this identification is the classification of boron trioxide as toxic for reproduction category 1B in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended and adapted to technical and scientific progress by Regulation (EC) No 790/2009.. Notwithstanding the rationale being perfectly in line with the REACH Regulation, the glass industries believe that the introduction of boron trioxide on the candidate list for authorization could lead to future misunderstanding. The glass industries do not want to engage in any discussion on the right classification of boron trioxide, which is outside of our competence. However, it is very well known that there are still a lot of discussions going on at EU and International level on the correct classification of boron trioxide. For example Poland has indicated its intention to submit borate reclassification dossiers under CLP. This is based on their review of the data arising from new studies on worker exposure (in China and Turkey) and concluded that a reclassification of these substances is warranted.

  • SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, and PHOTOCATALYTIC ACTIVITY of TANTALUM OXIDE THIN FILMS by CODY JENSEN THESIS Submitted in Partial
    SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, AND PHOTOCATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF TANTALUM OXIDE THIN FILMS BY CODY JENSEN THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemical Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Advisers: Professor Mark Shannon Professor David Cahill ABSTRACT An increasing demand for a low cost alternative for water disinfection and the recent push for green energy has caused an explosion of research in photocatalysis. While TiO2 is considered to be the standard for photocatalysis, there are a number of issues that need to be overcome to push photocatalysis into mainstream applications. In an effort to improve the overall reaction rate, a wider energy gap material, such as Ta2O5, that provides a higher cathodic potential and more flexibility in shifting the energy gap provides a possible alternative. Ta2O5 thin films were synthesized using a sol-gel method and deposited by dip-coating and spin- coating. The thicknesses of the films ranged from 8 nm to 230 nm and were tested to find an optimum thickness based on the quantum efficiency. The photoactivity of the films was measured using a recirculating methylene blue solution. Above 15 nm, the film thickness did not have an effect on the methylene blue degradation rate. To test the premise of being limited by electron-hole transport, the annealing temperature of the films was varied to increase the crystallinity. The films were annealed under a range of temperatures from 450°C to 1200°C. By x-ray diffraction measurements, the grain size of the films was found to be relatively stable from 638°C to 1075°C.

High dielectric constant (high-k) Ta2O5 films have been deposited on ZnO/p-Si substrate by micro- wave plasma at 150°C. Structure and composition of the ZnO/p-Si films have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for chemical composition. The electrical properties of the Ta2O5/ZnO/p-Si metal insulator semiconductor (MIS) structures were studied using high frequency capacitance–voltage (C–V), conductance–voltage (G–V) and current–voltage (I–V) characteristics.

  • Diffusion 2.Key
    More on Diffusion • Diffusion systems • Multiple diffusion steps • Diffusion as nuisance • Lateral diffusion • dopant segregation • masks for dopants • The diffusion coefficient EE 432/532 diffusion II - 1 Diffusion systems In general, diffusion systems are similar to oxidation furnaces. The dopant can be provided in the form of gas, liquid, or solid. The basic approach is to deposit a glassy layer containing the dopant on the surface of the silicon. A reaction between the glass and the silicon transfers dopant into the silicon. boron: + + → phosphorus: + + → A potential problem with boron is that excess boron trioxide can cause “boron skin” on the silicon surface. This is difficult to remove by etching. A low-temperature oxidation step can help to break up the boron skin for easier removal. (See the lab information from the manufacturers of the boron source wafers to get more detail.) EE 432/532 diffusion II - 2 Gas sources silicon wafers in quartz boat quartz tube dopant gas + other carrier end cap and reactant gases (N2, O2, H2) boron doping: React diborane + + → with oxygen or carbon dioxide. + + → phosphorus doping: React + + phosphine with oxygen → In either case, the glassy oxide layer is formed on the silicon surface. The gases used are extremely toxic and special provisions must be used for handling and to clean the gas streams of any unreacted material. EE 432/532 diffusion II - 3 Liquid sources N2,O2 liquid dopant source temperature controlled vessel or bubbler boron doping: react boron + + tribromide with oxygen → phosphorus doping: react + + phosphorus oxychloride → with oxygen EE 432/532 diffusion II - 4 Solid sources (what we use) source wafers N2 or reactant gases (O2, H2) boron: Source wafers are made of nitride (BN).
