Morphology and Phase Composition ofGelatin-Starch Blends简

Morphology and phase compositions of different starch-gelatin blends were investigated by various microscopes: optical, SEM and synchrotron FTIR microscopy. A high amylose(80%) corn starch, grafted with hydroxypropyl to enhance flexibilty and hydrophilicity, and plasticized by poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG), was used in this work. SEM revealed that the surface became smoother after adding PEG. Optical microscopy observation revealed that compatibility between gelatin and starch was improved by adding PEG. An FTIR beam focused on a 5 μm× 5 μm detection area by the micro-spectroscope was used to map chemical composition. The ratio of areas of the saccharide bands(1180–953 cm 1) and the amide I and II bands(1750–1483 cm 1) was used to monitor the relative distributions of the two components in the blends. The FTIR maps indicated that gelatin constituted the continuous phase up to 80% of starch content. All of the FTIR spectra showed contributions from both starch and gelatin absorptions, therefore indicating that complete demixing with pure starch and gelatin domains did not occur. The PEG improved the compatibility of the gelatin-starch blends.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel ternary deep eutectic solvents简

A series of room-temperature ternary deep eutectic solvents(TDESs) were prepared from imidazolium halides, zinc halides and amides. The [BMIM]Cl–ZnCl2 –acetamide(1:1:1) system shows the lowest freezing point( 60 8C) and lowest density in the series. The viscosity and conductivity of TDESs have an exponential relationship with temperature and can be fitted by Arrhenius equation.     

Size Effects on the Luminescence Properties of Polymer Nanowires简

Poly（3-（2-methoxyphenyl）thiophene） （PMP-Th） nanowires were fabricated using porous anodic alumina （PAA） as template through electrochemical polymerization by cyclic voltammetry. The control on the size of nanowires was confirmed by electron microscopy. The results indicated that the luminescence spectra of PMP-Th nanowires in PAA nanochannels were blue-shifted and emission intensity was enhanced compared to the emission of the PMP-Th film. Moreover, the luminescent spectra of PMP-Th nanowires were size dependent, which may result from the change in the degree of confinement of nanowires in PAA. F6rster energy transfer from PAA to PMP-Th molecules is considered to be responsible for the enhancement of luminescence from PMP-Th nanowires in PAA. The results show that the emission properties of polymers with nanostructures can be tuned by controlling their size.

Effect of Molecular Structure on the GasPermeability of Cellulose Aliphatate Esters简

In this work, four kinds of cellulose aliphatate esters, cellulose acetate （CA）, cellulose propionate （CP）, cellulose butyrate （CB） and cellulose acetate butyrate （CAB） are synthesized by the homogeneous acylation reactions in cellulose/AmimC1 solutions. These cellulose aliphatate esters are used to prepare gas separation membranes and the effects of molecular structure, such as substituent type, degree of substitution （DS） and distribution of substituents, on the gas permeability are studied. For CAs, as the DS increases, their gas permeabilities for all five gases （02, N2, CH4, CO and CO2） increase, and the ideal permselectivity significantly increases first and then slightly decreases. At similar DS value, the homogenously synthesized CA （distribution order of acetate substituent： C6 〉 C3 〉 C2） is superior to the heterogeneously synthesized CA （distribution order of acetate substituent： C3 〉 C2 〉 C6） in gas separation. With the increase of chain length of aliphatate substituents from acetate to propionate, and to butyrate, the gas permeability of cellulose aliphatate esters gradually increases. The cellulose mixed ester CAB with short acetate groups and relatively long butyrate groups exhibits higher gas permeability or better permselectivity than individual CA or CB via the alteration of the DS of two substituents.     

Synthesis and acaricidal activity of strobilurin-pyrimidine derivatives简

Pyriminostrobin, a new acaricide, was discovered in our previous studies. Because introducing fluorine into organic compounds can increase bioactivity, pyriminostrobin was modified as a series of strobilurin-pyrimidine derivatives for biological screening. The compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Preliminary bioassays demonstrated that compounds 7e and 7i exhibited significant control against Tetranychus cinnabarinus （Boisd.） at 0.625 mg L^-1, and their acaricidal potencies were higher than pyriminostrobin in a greenhouse. The relationship between structure and acaricidal activity was also studied.

Infrared spectroscopy of N-methylacetamide in water from high-level QM/MM calculations简

The infrared(IR) spectra of the N-methylacetamide molecule in water are calculated by using the MD simulation with high-level QM/MM corrections. The B3LYP and MP2 levels with 6-311++G** basis set are used for the QM region, respectively. Our results show all IR spectra at the B3LYP level are well consistent with the corresponding MP2 results. A dynamical charge fluctuation is observed for each atom along the simulation trajectories due to the electrostatic polarization(EP) effects from surrounding solvent environment. We find that the QM/MM corrected IR spectra satisfactorily reproduce the experimental vibrational features of amide I–III modes.
