剪切均匀性对流动诱导等规聚丙烯结晶的影响

固定应变和最终应变速率,采用瞬时和缓慢2种电机加速方式对样品施加剪切,研究了流场加载模式对样品流变和结晶行为的影响.实验结果显示缓慢加速能够消除剪切过程中流场的非均匀性,使样品取向度增加,提高流场对聚合物熔体的作用效果.同时,流动诱导结晶对于加速时间有依赖性.对于速率为17.7 s-1的剪切,加速时间为1 s时,熔体流动均匀且流动诱导的晶体取向最强,短加速时间(0.5 s)和长加速时间(1.5 s)样品的流动诱导结晶效果都弱于加速时间为1 s的样品.但是,对于不同剪切速率,其对应的最优加速时间不同.对于流动诱导结晶来说,加速时间应当作为一个重要参数来考虑,其背后的真实物理含义还需要进一步研究来说明.

木糖醇玻璃焓松弛的量热分析

为了考察木糖醇的玻璃化转变和焓松弛行为,寻求碳链长度对线性多元醇玻璃化转变和焓松弛行为的影响,利用差示扫描量热(DSC)技术测定了不同降温速率下木糖醇在玻璃化转变温度(Tg)前后的比热容(Cp),通过曲线拟合获得了TNM(Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan)模型参数,并和其他多元醇类已有研究结果进行对照.结果表明,尽管TNM模型可以很好地重现不同降温速率体系的实验比热容数据,但模型参数并不是材料常数,而是和热历史有关,不同的降温速率对应不同的模型参数.指前因子(A)、非线性参数(x)和非指数参数(β)均随着降温速率的增加而降低,松弛活化焓(△h*)的变化趋势刚好相反.几种线性多元醇玻璃化转变和TNM模型参数的对照表明,玻璃化转变温度,松弛活化焓和动力学脆度(m)都随着烷基碳链长度的增加而增加.虽然非线性参数、非指数参数随碳链长度的增加有降低的趋势,但木糖醇展现出反常变化的情形.

在水热条件下利用微胶束对TiO2纳米线阵列直径的精细调控

通过探讨氧化钛纳米线阵列反应机制,建立了在水热条件下,氧化钛纳米线阵列在亲水掺铟氧化锡表面上由极性/非极性溶剂体系中形成的胶束内反应并生长的模型.并由此利用微胶束的尺寸限制作用,通过温度对微胶束尺寸进行调节,以及Cl^-离子的晶面限制效应,实现了在较大范围内对纳米线直径的调控.另外反应体系中极性与非极性溶液的比例的变化对纳米阵列的直径影响不大,因此可以认为在此反应体系中,氧化钛纳米线的直径主要受到微胶束的限域效应以及Cl^-离子的晶面限制效应影响.此方法可应用于其他相关氧化物纳米材料的尺寸控制合成中.

Hydrothermally shrunk alumina nanopores and their application to DNA sensing

Hydrothermal treatment of anodized alumina membranes has been known for years and is believed to seal the pores by transforming aluminium oxide into lower density hydroxides. We demonstrate that, at least for 60 nm diameter pores grown from anodization in oxalic acid at 40 V, the hydrothermal treatment significantly shrinks but does not fully seal the nanopores. The pores shrink to a neck of less than 10 nm in diameter and 2-4 microm in length, in which the diffusion coefficient of ions is five orders of magnitude smaller than in the bulk. Because of a high electrolyte resistance through hydrothermally treated shrunken nanopores, they can be used for electrical sensing applications, as demonstrated using the example of DNA sensing. Hybridization of target DNA with a complementary ssDNA covalently immobilized inside the nanopores causes an increase in impedance by more than 50% while a noncomplementary ssDNA has no measurable effect.     

Electrokinetic transport through the nanopores in cell membrane during electroporation

In electroporation, applied electric field creates hydrophilic nanopores in a cell membrane that can serve as a pathway for inserting biological samples to the cell. It is highly desirable to understand the ionic transfer and fluid flow through the nanopores in order to control and improve the cell transfection. Because of submicron dimensions, conventional theories of electrokinetics may lose their applicability in such nanopores. In the current study, the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations along with modified Navier-Stokes equations and the continuity equation are solved in order to find electric potential, fluid flow, and ionic concentration through the nanopores. The results show that the electric potential, velocity field, and ionic concentration vary with the size of the nanopores and are different through the nanopores located at the front and backside of the cell membrane. However, on a given side of the cell membrane, angular position of nanopores has fewer influences on liquid flow and ionic transfer. By increasing the radius of the nanopores, the averaged velocity and ionic concentration through the nanopores are increased. It is also shown that, in the presence of electric pulse, electrokinetic effects (electroosmosis and electrophoresis) have significant influences on ionic mass transfer through the nanopores, while the effect of diffusion on ionic mass flux is negligible in comparison with electrokinetics. Increasing the radius of the nanopores intensifies the effect of convection (electroosmosis) in comparison with electrophoresis on ionic flux.     

模板表面对间规聚苯乙烯在纳米模板中结晶取向的影响

以偏振显微红外光谱方法研究间规聚苯乙烯（sPS）在阳极氧化铝（AAO）模板孔洞内的结晶取向行为。 以正己基三甲氧基硅烷修饰AAO模板孔洞表面,使其烷基化,探索表面性质对不同尺寸孔洞内sPS结晶取向的影响。 结果表明,sPS在255 ℃温度下结晶,而且随孔洞尺寸的减小,纳米孔洞内sPS分子链的垂直取向程度均降低,并且相同孔径尺寸下在表面烷基化的孔洞内sPS晶区分子链的垂直取向程度更低。 这些现象可归因于分子链与孔壁间相互作用的不同导致孔壁表面对晶核取向的诱导。     

Quantitative imaging of ion transport through single nanopores by high-resolution scanning electrochemical microscopy

Here we report on the unprecedentedly high resolution imaging of ion transport through single nanopores by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The quantitative SECM image of single nanopores allows for the determination of their structural properties, including their density, shape, and size, which are essential for understanding the permeability of the entire nanoporous membrane. Nanoscale spatial resolution was achieved by scanning a 17 nm radius pipet tip at a distance as low as 1.3 nm from a highly porous nanocrystalline silicon membrane in order to obtain the peak current response controlled by the nanopore-mediated diffusional transport of tetrabutylammonium ions to the nanopipet-supported liquid-liquid interface. A 280 nm × 500 nm image resolved 13 nanopores, which corresponds to a high density of 93 nanopores/μm(2). A finite element simulation of the SECM image was performed to assess quantitatively the spatial resolution limited by the tip diameter in resolving two adjacent pores and to determine the actual size of a nanopore, which was approximated as an elliptical cylinder with a depth of 30 nm and major and minor axes of 53 and 41 nm, respectively. These structural parameters were consistent with those determined by transmission electron microscopy, thereby confirming the reliability of quantitative SECM imaging at the nanoscale level.     

PNIPAAM-modified nanoporous colloidal films with positive and negative temperature gating

The surface of nanopores in colloidal films, assembled from 205 nm silica spheres, was modified with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAAM, brushes using surface-initiated ATRP. The polymer thickness inside nanopores was controlled by the polymerization time. The diffusion through PNIPAAM-modified colloidal films was measured using cyclic voltammetry and studied as a function of temperature and polymer brush thickness. Nanopores modified with a thin PNIPAAM brush exhibited a positive gating behavior, where diffusion rates increased with increasing temperature. Nanopores modified with a thick PNIPAAM layer showed a negative gating behavior where diffusion rates decreased with increasing temperature. The observed temperature response is consistent with two transport mechanisms, one in which molecules diffuse through the nanopores whose volume increases with increasing temperature as the PNIPAAM brush collapses onto the nanopore surface (positive gating) and the second one where molecules diffuse through the porous PNIPAAM that fills the entire nanopore opening and collapses onto itself, becoming hydrophobic and impermeable (negative gating).     

Flow pattern maps for particle-fluid mixture transport in a horizontal pipe - application of a three-layer model

A modified three-layer model was applied to model particle-fluid mixture flow in a horizontal pipe, the viscoelastic properties of carrier polymer solution were taken into consideration, and the Deborah number was used to calculate solid-fluid friction factor. An energy equation was applied to determine temperature distribution of carrier fluid along a horizontal pipe to accurately represent the rheological properties of carrier fluid. During the transport process, particles quickly settle out of carrier fluid and accumulate on pipe bottom forming a particle bed, so a particle bed load flow is observed. The transport mechanisms of particles in moving particle bed are govern by fluidization, which causes the height of this layer to be small and equal to 2～5 times of particle diameter. In addition, the pressure drop is composed of solid-fluid and solid-solid friction loss, which dominate the hydrodynamic performance at different stages.     

Low-voltage electroosmotic pumps fabricated from track-etched polymer membranes

Track-etched polymer membranes are used to realize low-voltage electroosmotic (EO) pumps. The nanopores in polycarbonate (PC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) membranes were fabricated by the track-etching technique, the pore diameter was controlled in the range of 100 to 250 nm by adjusting the etching time. The results show that these EO pumps can provide high flow rates at low applied voltages (2-5 V). The maximum normalized flow rate is as high as 0.12 ml min(-1) V(-1) cm(-2), which is comparable to the best values of previously demonstrated EO pumps. We attribute this high performance to the unique properties of the track-etched nanopores in the membranes.
