  • Title: Hydroxylamine-doping effect on the Tg of 160 K for water confined in silica-gel nanopores.
    Author: Nagoe A, Oguni M.
    Journal: J Phys Condens Matter; 2013 Nov 20; 25(46):465110. PubMed ID: 24162332.
    Abstract:
    The glass transition behavior of hydroxylamine (HA) aqueous solutions in bulk and confined in silica-gel nanopores with average width of 1.1 nm was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry measurements and adiabatic calorimetry. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the confined solution with high HA mole-fraction (xHA) was essentially the same as the value of the bulk. This suggests that the nano-size confinement affects the Tg of HA aqueous solution little. Meanwhile, the bulk solution with xHA < 0.3 revealed partial crystallization on cooling and, on the other hand, the confined solution with the same xHA did not crystallize. The Tg of the xHA = 0.076 confined solution was 174 K which is higher than the value of 160 K for pure water confined in the same silica-gel pores. This demonstrates that HA doping leads to no abrupt Tg-decrease, unlike doping of all the other second components reported so far, suggesting that HA is set neatly in a hydrogen-bond network formed by water molecules. We discuss the xHA dependence of Tg for the HA aqueous solutions from a viewpoint related to peculiar phase-behavior of pure water. Considering that the xHA = 0.076 aqueous solution revealed no anomaly compared with pure water, it was recognized as corresponding to the high-temperature phase of pure water.
