Facile synthesis of amino-functionalized hollow silica microspheres and their potential application for ultrasound imaging

By using the positive charged polystyrene (PS) microsphere as template, mono-disperse amino-(-NH(2)) functionalized hollow silica microspheres (HSMS-NH(2)) with ~1310 nm in diameter and uniform shells were successfully prepared with a modified sol-gel process. The amino functionalized silica were coated on the PS microspheres via ammonia catalysis, co-hydrolysis and condensation of TEOS and APTES, and then the PS templates were selectively dissolved in THF solution to form the functional hollow microspheres. The controllable thickness (35-85 nm) and amino density (2.46×10(-5)-6.18×10(-5) mol/g) of the shells could be facilely tuned by changing the amount of TEOS and APTES. In vitro ultrasound images of as-prepared HSMS-NH(2) with different concentrations in the physiological saline solution were further investigated. The obvious signal enhancement indicates that as-prepared HSMS-NH(2) has a great potential application for ultrasound imaging.     

Surface phase separation, dewetting feature size, and crystal morphology in thin films of polystyrene/poly(ε-caprolactone) blend

Thin films of polystyrene (PS)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) blends were prepared by spin-coating and characterized by tapping mode force microscopy (AFM). Effects of the relative concentration of PS in polymer solution on the surface phase separation and dewetting feature size of the blend films were systematically studied. Due to the coupling of phase separation, dewetting, and crystallization of the blend films with the evaporation of solvent during spin-coating, different size of PS islands decorated with various PCL crystal structures including spherulite-like, flat-on individual lamellae, and flat-on dendritic crystal were obtained in the blend films by changing the film composition. The average distance of PS islands was shown to increase with the relative concentration of PS in casting solution. For a given ratio of PS/PCL, the feature size of PS appeared to increase linearly with the square of PS concentration while the PCL concentration only determined the crystal morphology of the blend films with no influence on the upper PS domain features. This is explained in terms of vertical phase separation and spinodal dewetting of the PS rich layer from the underlying PCL rich layer, leading to the upper PS dewetting process and the underlying PCL crystalline process to be mutually independent.

Coating of Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS)/Vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) Hybrid Solution on Polymer Films

Tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS)/vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) hybrid materials were prepared and the hydrolysis and condensation reactions during processing were investigated by means of 29Si NMR solution spectroscopy. The variation of drying characteristics of the coating films was examined with respect to the tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS)/vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) ratio, as well as drying temperature, by FT-IR spectroscopy. It is shown that the TO mode of Si–O–Si stretching absorption was enhanced with increasing tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) content and drying temperature. Also, the wettability of the coating films on polymer films was independent of the solution composition but enhanced by the precoating of poly(4-hydroxystrene) (PHS) as a wetting agent. The adhesion between the coating and the films was also enhanced when the vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) content in the coating solution was increased.     

Vertical phase separation and liquid-liquid dewetting of thin PS/PCL blend films during spin coating

Thin films of an amorphous polymer, polystyrene (PS), and a crystalline polymer, poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), blend were prepared by spin coating a toluene solution. Surface chemical compositions of the blend films were measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the surface and interface topographical changes were followed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). By changing the PS concentration and keeping the PCL concentration of the solution at 1 wt %, a great variety of morphologies were constructed. The results show that the morphology of the blend films can be divided into three regions with increasing PS concentration. In region I, PS island domains are embedded in PCL crystals when the PS concentration is lower than 0.3 wt % and the size of the PS island increases with increasing PS concentration. In region II, holes with different sizes surrounded by a low rim are obtained when the concentration of PS is between 0.35 and 0.5 wt %. After selectively washing the PS domains, we studied the interface morphology of PS/PCL and found that the upper PS-rich layer extended into the bottom PCL layer, forming a trench surrounding the holes. In region III, an enriched two-layer structure with the PS-rich layer on top of the blend films and the PCL-rich crystal layer underneath is obtained when the concentration of PS is higher than 0.5 wt %. Last, the formation mechanism of the different surface and interface morphologies is further discussed in terms of the vertical phase separation to a layered structure, followed by liquid-liquid dewetting and crystallization processes during spin coating.     

Anomalous reinforcing effects in cellulose gel-based polymeric nanocomposites

Cellulose-synthetic polymer nanocomposite films were prepared by immersion of cellulose gel in polymer solutions followed by dry casting. The cellulose hydrogel was prepared from aqueous alkali-urea solution. As the synthetic polymer, polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were used. The polymer content could be changed between 10 and 80% by changing polymer concentration of immersing solution. While the mechanical properties of the cellulose-PMMA composite films showed a nearly linear dependence on PMMA content, those of cellulose-PS composites showed an anomalous behavior; both tensile strength and Young’s modulus showed prominent maxima at 15–30 wt% PS contents. This anomaly may have resulted from the specific interaction between the aromatic ring of PS and the hydrophobic plane of the glucopyranoside. Both PMMA and PS composite films showed significant improvements in dimensional thermal stability; up to 25 wt% synthetic polymer content, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) was as low as ca. 30 ppm/K, about 1/3 of the pure polymers. This indicates that the regenerated cellulose network is effective in suppressing thermal expansion of the synthetic polymers.
