Introduction: Polymers acting as both an electrolyte and a separator are of tremendous interest because of their many virtues, such as no leakage, flexible geometry, excellent safe performance, and good compatibility with electrodes, compared with their liquid counterparts. In this study, polymer electrolyte membranes comprising of poly(vinylidene fluorine-co-hexafluoropropylene) [PVDF-HFP] were plasticized with different mass ratios of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in 1 M NaClO4/PC solutions, and were prepared and characterized in sodium-ion battery. Methods: Polymer electrolyte membranes were prepared by solution-casting techniques. The membranes' performance was evaluated in terms of morphology, conductivity, electrochemical stability, thermal properties and miscibility structure. The following various characterization methods were used: Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), impedance spectroscopy (for determination of electrolyte resistance), cyclic voltammetry, thermal degradation analysis, and infra-red spectroscopy (for determination of structure of co-polymer). Results: It was indicated that the PVDF-HFP/PEO membrane with 40 % wt. PVDF-HFP absorbed electrolytes up to 300 % of its weight and had a roomtemperature conductivity of 2.75 x 10-3 Scm-1, which was better than that of pure PVDF-HFP. All polymer electrolyte films were electrochemically stable in the potential voltage range of 2-4.2 V, which could be compatible with 3-4 V sodium material electrodes in rechargeable sodium cells. Conclusion: The PVDF-HFP/PEO polymer electrolyte film is a potential candidate for sodium-ion battery in the potential range of 2-4.2 V.

Introduction: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are possibly the most potent type of stem cells for the treatment of many diseases since they possess many advantageous properties, such as abundant source, ease of isolation, and potential to differentiate and trans-differentiate into different types of cells. Although the therapeutic potential of expanded MSCs has been well proven, their biosafety features have not been fully understood. This study aimed to investigate some changes in phenotype and gene expression of bone marrow derived MSCs after long term expansion. Methods: In this study, expanded mesenchymal stem cells derived from human bone marrow (hBMSCs) were identified for their characteristics (which included morphology, immunophenotype, and differentiation potential) at passages 5, 10 and 15. Moreover, they were evaluated for the expression of various tumor suppressor genes (PTEN, p16, and p53) by real-time RT-PCR. Results: The results showed that the hBMSCs at passage 15 displayed a change in morphology and a slight reduction of the expression of CD44 and CD90, whereas their potential for adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation was maintained. Moreover, the expression of tumor suppressor genes in the hBMSCs increased after long-term culture. Conclusion: It could be assumed that prolonged cultures of more than 15 passages drove the hBMSCs into senescence phase. Cultured hBMSCs below passage 10 seemed to be more effective in application because their properties were still preserved.

Introduction: Ionic liquids (ILs) have become a prospective candidate to replace the conventional electrolytes based on the volatile organic-solvents in lithium-ion batteries. However, the drawbacks of high viscosity and low ionic conductivity have restricted the high rate capacity and energy density in practical batteries. With the aims to resolve these problems and design a safe electrolytes with high electrochemical stability, mixtures of ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (EMITFSI) with different amounts of ethylene carbonate (EC) was prepared and characterized as electrolytes for Li-ion batteries. Methods: In this work, we investigated four factors to demonstrate the performance of EMITFSI as electrolytes for Li-ion batteries. These factors include: thermal properties of mixed electrolytes (Mettler Toledo DSC1 Star -DSC, Q500-TGA), Conductivity (HP- AC impedance spectroscopy), Viscosity (Ostwald viscometer CANNON) and electrochemical window (cyclic voltammetry-MGP2 Biologic Instrument). All experiments were repeated three times with the exception of TGA-DSC methods. Results: The study indicated that 20 % wt. ethylene carbonate (EC) when mixed with EMITFSI could significantly decrease the electrolyte viscosity while improving ionic conductivity and maintain similar electrochemical stability as pure ionic liquid. Lithium diffusion coefficient of mixed electrolytes was lower than commercial electrolytes based on conventional solvents, however, the thermal stability was enhanced. Conclusion: EMITFSI can be used to replace conventional carbonate-based liquids as a high-performance electrolyte for Li-ion batteries.
离子液体(ILs)已成为取代传统锂离子电池中挥发性有机溶剂电解质的有前景的候选者。然而,高粘度和低离子电导率的缺点限制了实际电池的高倍率容量和能量密度。为了解决这些问题,设计出一种电化学稳定性高的安全电解质,制备了离子液体1-乙基-3-甲基咪唑-二(三氟甲烷磺酰)亚胺(EMITFSI)与不同量的碳酸乙烯(EC)的混合物,并对其进行了表征。方法:在本工作中,我们考察了四个因素来证明EMITFSI作为锂离子电池电解质的性能。这些因素包括:混合电解质的热性质(Mettler Toledo DSC1 Star - dsc, Q500-TGA),电导率(HP- AC阻抗谱),粘度(Ostwald粘度计CANNON)和电化学窗口(循环伏安法- mgp2生物仪器)。除TGA-DSC方法外,所有实验均重复3次。结果:研究表明,20% wt.乙烯碳酸酯(EC)与EMITFSI混合可显著降低电解质粘度,同时提高离子电导率,保持与纯离子液体相似的电化学稳定性。混合电解质的锂扩散系数低于基于常规溶剂的商用电解质,但热稳定性增强。结论:EMITFSI可替代传统碳酸盐基液体作为锂离子电池的高性能电解质。

Introduction: Copolymers are being used in a variety of fields because of their diversity and since any change could result in significant modifications. The butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate copolymer is an extensively used polymer system with many advantages. This study aims to analyze some changes in copolymerization, from using different time or temperature of synthesis, in order to find an optimal process that can be applied in Vietnam. Methods: Copolymerization of butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate copolymer with different butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate monomer ratios was done using Xylene solvent. Copolymer compositions were determined from the Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and Gel permeation chromatography. Results: The experimental results indicate that the copolymer was successfully synthesized. The highest molecular weight was 15,591 g/mol, with the lowest dispersity of 1.53 at 100 oC after 6 hours of copolymerization.

Today, enterprise resource planning system (ERP) becomes popular and it is implemented in most business (in all fields and sizes) all over the world as well as in Vietnam. However, according to consultant experts, ERP projects, though on a large scale with high cost, entail low success rate. For Vietnamese contexts, those findings above are all the more true, because most of Vietnamese enterprises are on a small scale with short-time computerization access, lack of understanding of enterprise systems, and lack of financial resources. This research focuses on exploring key factors affecting the success of ERP projects in Vietnam. Through case studies and data collection, using SPSS for data analysis, key factors affecting the success of ERP projects are listed on such a descending order as follows: Characteristics of ERP team, Quality of consultancy, Characteristics of end-users and Characteristics of business. From the abovementioned analysis, suggestions for ensuring success of ERPs in Vietnam are also proposed.

Introduction: Lumnitzera littorea grown at CanGio Mangrove Forest has been investigated. The present study reports the isolation, characterization and evaluation of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity of isolated compounds from Lumnitzera littorea leaves. Methods: Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods (including MS, 1D and 2D–NMR) and comparison with values from the literature. From the n-hexane extract, nine compounds including lupeol (1), betulin (2), betulinic acid (3), oleanolic acid (4), corosolic acid (5), -sitosterol (6), beta-sitosterol 3-O- beta-D-glucopyranoside (7), stigmast-5-ene-3beta-O-(6-O-hexadecanoyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside) (8), and stigmast-4-ene-3-one (9) were isolated and identified. Results: The results of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity showed thatcorosolic acid (5) and oleanolic acid (4) were the most potent, with IC50 values of 17.86 +/- 0.42 and 18.82 +/- 0.59 ug/mL, respectively. Five of the other seven compounds exhibited inhibitory activity with IC50 values below 100 ug/mL, and higher than the positive control acarbose (127.64 +/- 0.64 ug/mL).

There have been various attempts to improve the surface finish after Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) by polishing and other means. But if it is possible to improve the surface during machining it will shorten the machining time. From this viewpoint powder mixed EDM (PMEDM) is one of these processes. PMEDM not only imparts fine machined surface finish but also modifies the machined surface. However, it is necessary to understand the mechanism of PMEDM process. In this study, influence of process parameters to tool wear rate (TWR) of PMEDM using titanium (Ti) powder is presented. The objective of the study is to evaluate the main effects of workpiece material, tool material, polarity, pulse-on time, intensity of discharge, pulse-off time, and powder concentration on the TWR in PMEDM. They carried out the investigation based on the Taguchi method involving seven control factors with three levels for an orthogonal array L27 (1313).The results indicated that electrode material, electrode polarity, pulse on time, current and powder concentration were the most significant parameters that influenced the TWR. This result will be the basis for selecting the factors in further optimization studies.

In this paper, the surface of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes (NTs) was decorated with sulfur by impregnation procedure. The crystalline structure and morphology of the S-TiO2 NT hybrid catalyst were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The chemical components of S-TiO2 NT-1 sample were analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The results showed that sulfur impurities were incorporated into TiO2 crystal structure and decorated on its surface due to the heat treatment temperature used throughout the fabrication process. Moreover, its photocatalytic reaction was evaluated by change of adsorption intensity of methyl orange (MO) aqueous solution at wavelength of 467 nm. This work revealed that the sulfur loaded onto TiO2 NT nanostructures exhibited excellent photocatalytic efficacy for the degradation of the MO dye compared with pristine TiO2 NTs (93.12 ± 0.02% and 80.21 ± 0.04% MO degradation efficacy under UV light versus visible-light regime, respectively, after 180 minutes). This was mainly governed by sulfur ions modified on the surface of TiO2 NTs which played a critical role in promoting the separation rate of photo-induced charge carriers.
