Effect of Added 1-hexene on the yield of hydrogen produced from Co-60 gamma radiolysis of methanol was investigated at room temperature. The results indicated that the yield of hydrogen decreased rapidly with increasing 1-hexene concentrations. Effect of added methyl borate on the radiolysis of methanol was also studied in the presence of oxygen. The results revealved that methyl borate acted as a less effective scavenger than oxygen towards the precursors of the radiolysis products. Experimental data previously obtained on the systems with oxygen added were treated more quantitatively to re-examine mechanism of the radiolysis of methanol in detail.

The hydrophobic interaction between tetraphenylborate (TPB$^-$) or tetrakis (4-fluorophenyl)borate (TFB$^-$) and crystal violet has been investigated in aqueous solutions by absorption spectrophotometry. Both of the anions promote the aggregation of the ion pairs formed between crystal violet and TPB$^-$ or TFB$^-$. When crystal violet and borate anion are nearly equimolar, insoluble floating aggregates can be observed. Based on the relative absorbance of H and J bands and on the effect of TX-100, TFB$^-$ is found to be more hydrophobic than TPB$^-$.

The ion aggregates formed between cationic triphenylmethane dyes and tetraphenylborate(TPB) or tetrakis(4-fluorophenyl) borate (TFB) anions have been investigated spectroscopically. The photometric sensitivities of the dyes are found to be increasing in the order pararosaniline < malachite green < methyl violet 2B < crystal violet < ethyl violet. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB) and Triton X-100(TX-100) destroy the ion aggregates. By comparing the concentration of surfactant beyond which dye-borate mixed solutions behave identically with the dye blank, the order of hydrophobicity appears to be parallel with that of photometric sensitivity.

In a borate buffer solution, the growth kinetics and the electronic properties of passive film on aluminum were investigated, using the potentiodynamic method, chronoamperometry, and multi-frequency electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion of aluminum was heavily influenced by the degree of oxygen concentration because of the increasing reduction current. The oxide film formed during the passivation process of aluminum has showed the electronic properties of n-type semiconductor, which follow from the Mott-Schottky equation. It was found out that the passive film (Al(OH)₃) of Al formed in the low electrode potential changes to Al₂O₃ while the electrode potential increases. The growth kinetics data as measured by chronoamperometry suggests a mechanism in which the growth of the film of Al₂O₃ is determined by field-assisted transport of ions through the film.

The electrolyte plays one of the most significant roles in the performance of electrochemical supercapacitors. Most liquid organic electrolytes used commercially have temperature and potential range constraints, which limit the possible energy and power output of the supercapacitor. The effect of elevated temperature on a lithium bis(oxalate)borate(LiBOB) salt-based electrolyte was evaluated in a symmetric supercapacitor assembled with activated carbon electrodes and different electrolyte blends of acetonitrile(ACN) and propylene carbonate(PC). The electrochemical properties were investigated using linear sweep voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge cycles, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In particular, it was shown that LiBOB is stable at an operational temperature of $80^{\circ}C$, and that, blending the solvents helps to improve the overall performance of the supercapacitor. The cells retained about 81% of the initial specific capacitance after 1000 galvanic cycles in the potential range of 0-2.5 V. Thus, LiBOB/ACN:PC electrolytes exhibit a promising role in supercapacitor applications under elevated temperature conditions.

We previously reported the isolation of a sialic acid-specific lectin eluted from the bark of Maackia fauriei using alkaline buffer on a fetuin-affinity column. Application of a borate-based elution buffer in the present study increased the specific activity of purified lectin from crude protein extract by 2.6-fold, whilst only slightly decreasing the recovery by 1.13%. The biological properties of the lectin eluted with borate buffer were the same as those of the lectin eluted with alkaline buffer such as in terms of the hemagglutination activity, hemagglutination inhibition activity, molecular mass, purity, and cytotoxicity to human breast cancer cells. A prepared biotin-labeled lectin conjugate was used to investigate the binding to various glycoproteins. Our results indicate that eluting with borate buffer is more efficient than using alkaline buffer to isolate the lectin adsorbed in a fetuin-affinity column.

$Li^+$ and $Mo^{6+}$ containing huntite borates $YbAl_3(BO_3)_4$were grown by spontaneous crystallization. All crystal show only the huntite-borate phase detected by X-ray powder diffraction analysis. On the basis of the data of the composition analysis, the occupation mechanism of each cation in the huntite structure has been discussed. $Li^+$ and $Mo^{6+}$ containing $YbAl_3(BO_3)_4$shows a six times higher intensity of the green light SHG detected by the powder technique than YAl_3(BO_3)_4$.

This study aims at investigating the correlation of microstructure and mechanical properties of the AZ91 Mg/Al borate whisker composites fabricated by squeeze csting technique with a variation of applied pressure. Microstructure observation and in-situ fracture tests were conducted on the composites to identify the microfracture process. Detailed microstructural analyses indicated that the grain refinement could be achieved with applied pressure and the little change in volume fraction on reinforcing whiskers could be carried out. It was also found clearly from in-situ observation of crack initiation and propagation that in the composite processed by the lower applied pressure, microcracks were initiated earily at whisker/matrix interfaces, thereby resulting in the drop in strength. In the composite processed by the higher applied pressure, on the other hand, planar slip lines were well developed in the matrix, and then propagated through whiskers without whisker/matrix decohesion. Thus, the effect of the applied pressure on microstructure and mechanical properties can be explained by grain refinement, increased amounts of reinforcements, and improvement of whisker/matrix interfacial strength as the applied pressure in increased.
