单词 nitroglycerine
释义

Definition of nitroglycerine in English:

nitroglycerine

(US nitroglycerin)
noun ˌnʌɪtrə(ʊ)ˈɡlɪs(ə)riːnˌnʌɪtrə(ʊ)ˈɡlɪnˌnaɪtroʊˈɡlɪsərən
mass noun
  • An explosive yellow liquid made by nitrating glycerol, used in explosives such as dynamite.

    Alternative name: glyceryl trinitrate; chemical formula: CH₂(NO₃)CH(NO₃)CH₂(NO₃)

    Example sentencesExamples
    • When glycerol is treated with a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acid, a yellow oily liquid nitroglycerin is formed.
    • In the munitions factories, great care was needed not to cause any sparks while making cordite using nitroglycerin - and the workers also needed to be sober.
    • The two returned to Sweden in 1863 and Alfred Nobel concentrated on developing nitroglycerine as an explosive.
    • Vasodilators such as nitroglycerin, alcohol, and carbon dioxide may trigger a headache during a cluster period.
    • The resulting nitroglycerine was packed in bombs detonated by a pistol connected to an alarm clock.
    • Since nitroglycerin is moderately volatile and adsorbs to plastic, the sublingual tablets must be stored in tightly closed glass containers.
    • Thus, organic nitrates such as glyceryl trinitrate may be viewed as prodrugs of endogenous nitric oxide.
    • Combining the acids with the glycerine into the resultant yellow oily liquid of nitroglycerine was a hazardous process requiring strict temperature control.
    • The tense 1953 film has four desperate men delivering two truckloads of extremely explosive nitroglycerine via a nearly impassable South American jungle road.
    • Because it's difficult to grow blood vessels in the laboratory, investigators have struggled to identify the molecules that convert nitroglycerin into nitric oxide.
    • Mixed with the rampant hormones of the teen years, this combination becomes as explosive and unstable as nitroglycerine.
    • Recently, nitroglycerine (glyceryl trinitrate) has been suggested as a tocolytic agent because it showed no significant side effects in animal studies and limited human studies.
    • The drug glyceryl trinitrate is highly effective in controlling the pain of angina.
    • The explosive power of nitroglycerine had been recognised but it was a dangerous, volatile substance which no-one had managed to harness safely.
    • However, we're talking about a very energetic material composed, usually, of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine.
    • Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase abolished the basal levels of exhaled nitric oxide, and also decreased the exhaled nitric oxide response to all compounds except nitroglycerine.
    • The scanner, the size of a small copy machine, uses spectrometry that can detect a billionth of a gram of explosives, such as TNT and nitroglycerine.
    • The extra check ensures that heart patients who take nitroglycerin, construction workers who handle explosives, and other innocent passengers are not mistakenly identified as criminal suspects.
    • Both nitroglycerine and TNT, two of the most powerful explosives in existence, can trace their origins to this race in research during the nineteenth century.
    • Modern, smokeless propellants date from 1846 when both nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin first emerged from European laboratories.
