环氧树脂高温分子链松弛与玻璃化转变特性

环氧树脂是电力设备中广泛应用的一种绝缘材料, 其介电性能受到分子链运动特性的影响. 本文制备了直径为50 mm、厚度为1 mm的环氧树脂试样, 采用差示扫描量热仪和宽频介电谱仪测试了环氧树脂的玻璃化转变温度和介电特性. 实验结果表明, 环氧树脂的玻璃化转变温度为105 ℃, 在玻璃化转变温度以上, 高频段出现了由分子链段运动造成的松弛过程, 低频段出现了由载流子在材料中迁移造成的直流电导过程. 发现环氧树脂不同尺寸分子链段的松弛时间不同, 其松弛时间分布较宽, 计算得到了分子链段在不同温度下的松弛时间分布特性. 分子链松弛峰频率和直流电导随温度的变化关系服从Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher公式. 拟合实验结果得到分子链松弛峰频率和直流电导的Vogel温度和强度系数. 由Vogel温度计算得到了与差示扫描量热测试结果一致的玻璃化转变温度, 约为102 ℃. 结果表明玻璃化转变温度以上环氧树脂的自由体积增大, 分子链段有足够的空间来响应外电场从而产生分子链松弛极化, 载流子有足够的能量在材料中迁移形成电导.

Vitrification-based cryopreservation of shoot-tips of Pinus kesiya Royle ex. Gord

The present investigation was aimed at developing a protocol for long-term preservation of germplasm of Pinus kesiya Royle ex. Gord. through vitrification. Some of the critical components affecting explant tolerance to cryopreservation, such as effects of preculture, vitrification solutions, exposure time to vitrification solutions, volume of vitrification solution and its toxicity, washing of vitrified tissues after thawing, were analysed. The results showed that shoot regrowth of P. kesiya shoot-tips was considerably affected when exposed to cryoprotectants for longer periods of time (longer than 10 min). Among different vitrification solutions studied, maximum survival (76 percent) of shoot-tips was achieved with mVSL (using 0.6 ml of the solution) in MS basal medium containing 4.0 mg l-1 N6-benzyladenine (BA).     

Survival of pig morula and blastocyst after exposure to vitrification media or vitrification

The aim of this experiment was to examine the survival of porcine embryos following exposure to vitrification solutions and vitrification. The work was carried out on non-cultured and cultured morulae and blastocysts. The viability of treated embryos was assessed by their ability to develop in in vitro culture. The results showed that the most detrimental step in the vitrification of pig embryos is exposing them specifically to a vitrification medium rather than the vitrification process itself. Moreover, we demonstrated the beneficial effect of culture on the viability of pig embryos after vitrification     

Cryopreservation of zebrafish (Danio rerio) oocytes by vitrification

Cryopreservation of fish oocytes is challenging because these oocytes have low membrane permeability to water and cryoprotectant and are highly chilling sensitive. Vitrification is considered to be a promising approach for their cryopreservation as it involves rapid freezing and thawing of the oocytes and therefore minimising the chilling injury. In the present study, vitrification properties and the toxicity of a range of vitrification solutions containing different concentrations of Me2SO, methanol, propylene glycol and ethylene glycol were investigated. Two different base media and vitrification methods were compared. The effect of different post-thaw dilution solutions together with incubation periods on oocyte viability were also investigated. Stage III zebrafish oocytes were equilibrated in increasing concentrations of cryoprotectants for 30 min in 3 steps. Oocytes were thawed rapidly in a water bath and cryoprotectants were removed in 4 steps. Oocyte viability was assessed using trypan blue staining. The results showed that vitrification solutions V3 and V4 in KCl buffer had low toxicity and vitrified well. The survivals of oocytes after stepwise dilution using solutions containing permeable cryoprotectants were significant higher than those diluted in 0.5M glucose, and the use of CVA65 vitrification system improved oocyte survival when compared with plastic straws after 30 min at 22 degrees C post-thawing. Cryopreservation of zebrafish oocytes by vitrification is reported here for the first time, although oocyte survivals after cryopreservation assessed by trypan blue staining were relatively high shortly after thawing, they became swollen and translucent after incubation in KCl buffer. Further studies are needed to optimise the post-thaw culturing conditions.     

Cryopreservation of hairy roots of Rubia akane (Nakai) using a droplet-vitrification procedure

An efficient protocol for the cryopreservation of madder (Rubia akane Nakai) hairy root cultures was developed using droplet-vitrification and alternative loading and vitrification solutions formulated previously in our laboratory. Among eight preculture treatments tested, the highest post-cryopreservation regeneration was obtained for explants incubated in liquid half-strength MS medium with progressively increased sucrose concentration (0.3 M for 54 h, then 0.5 M for 16 h). Loading of precultured explants improved their post-cryopreservation regeneration by 50-75% compared with non-loaded control. Combining loading solution C4 (35% PVS3) and vitrification solution B5 (80% PVS3) was the most effective, while applying six PVS2-based solutions at room temperature resulted in low post-cryo regeneration. Treatment duration was optimized to 30 min for loading and to 10-20 min for vitrification solution. Apices of primary and secondary hairy roots showed similar post-cryo regeneration (88 and 95%, respectively), which was significantly higher than regeneration of root sections without apices (65%). Droplet-vitrification produced higher post-cryo regeneration than 'classical' vitrification in cryovials. Our results suggest that droplet-vitrification using alternative loading and vitrification solutions is an efficient method for cryopreservation of R. akane hairy root cultures.     

Effect of "ice blockers" in solutions for vitrification of in vitro matured ovine oocytes

Polymers have been used as a substitute for serum in vitrification solutions for embryos and oocytes. This study was designed to replace serum with defined commercial macromolecules in vitrification solution for in vitro matured ovine oocytes. Oocytes were cryopreserved in two vitrification solutions (16.5 percent ethylene glycol + 16.5 percent dimethyl sulphoxide) supplemented with 1 percent of SuperCool X-1000 and 1 percent SuperCool Z-1000 (Ice Blockers) or 20 percent foetal calf serum (FCS). After warming, oocytes viability and developmental potential after processing for in vitro embryo production were assessed. The number of viable oocytes (87.4 percent and 85.9 percent), cleaveage rates (21.4 percent and 19.6 percent) and blastocyst development rates (4.8 percent and 4.5 percent) were similar for Ice Blockers and FCS, respectively. On the basis of these findings, it may be concluded that combined use of Ice Blockers (SuperCool X-1000 and SuperCool Z-1000) as supplementation in vitrification solution offers similar results to serum for vitrification of in vitro matured ovine oocytes.     

Cryopreservation of Citrus madurensis embryonic axes by vitrification: importance of loading and treatment with vitrification solution

This paper investigates the importance of loading and treatment with a vitrification solution on the survival of Citrus madurensis embryonic axes cryopreserved using a vitrification protocol. Among the seven different loading solutions tested, the solution containing 2 M glycerol + 0.4 M sucrose was the most efficient. Of the six vitrification solutions tested, the PVS2 vitrification solution, applied for 20 min at 25 degree C or for 60 min at 0 degree C, ensured the highest survival. A three-step vitrification protocol, involving the treatment of embryonic axes at 0 degree C with half strength PVS2 solution for 20 min then with full strength PVS2 for an additional 40 min was more efficient than a two-step protocol that involved treatment of axes directly with full strength PVS2 solution for 60 min. After rapid immersion in liquid nitrogen, rapid rewarming, unloading in a 1.2 M sucrose solution for 20 min, culture on solid medium with 0.3 M sucrose for 1 day and growth recovery for 4 weeks on standard medium, survival of C. madurensis embryonic axes reached 85 % following the three-step process, compared with 70 % for the two-step process.
