Coil-rod-coil刚柔嵌段共聚物在选择性溶剂中的自组装

采用耗散粒子动力学方法(dissipative particle dynamics,DPD)研究了coil-rod-coil(CRC)三嵌段刚柔共聚物在选择性溶剂中的自组装.在链选择性溶剂中,刚性棒长Lr与柔性链长Lc都影响着CRC溶液的自组装及相转变.随Lr的增大,棒与溶剂的接触面变大界面能升高,为减小体系的自由能,棒嵌段趋向聚集以减少接触面与界面能.随Lc的增大,链的自由伸展构象熵增大,影响着棒嵌段聚集体结构的形成,使棒嵌段的分布更加分散.在研究溶剂性质aCS与棒长Lr对体系自组装影响的情况中,观察到两类有趣的相结构:球形相和胶束相.随着参数aCS从亲链变为中性再到亲棒,在球形相内部,不仅棒相区由球体内部移向球表面,而且棒相区与链相区的层次分布也发生了明显地变化.同样,Lr的改变也影响着球形相内部相区的分布,同时诱导了不同球形相间的构型转变.胶束相包括分段胶束和螺旋胶束两种,形成于棒长较长的情况,胶束相中棒嵌段的排列呈现出明显的液晶相结构.

混合表面活性剂在非极性溶剂中的聚集行为

表面活性剂在非极性溶剂中的聚集行为比在水溶液中复杂得多. 水溶液中表面活性剂有一明确的临界胶束浓度(CMC),而在非极性溶剂中至今对CM C概念仍有怀疑^[1], 但已有多种手段如染料增溶法、水增溶法、光散射法、荧光偏振、紫外和核磁共振谱等证实并测定了非极性溶剂中 CMC 的存在^[1～5]. 表面活性剂在非极性溶剂中以非离子化状态存在, 其缔合主要靠两亲分子之间的偶极-偶极以及离子对相互作用, 那么在一种表面活性剂溶液中加入另一种表面活性剂, 即表面活性剂的复配, 必然对其聚集行为产生重大影响, 但迄今为止, 尚未见关于混合表面活性剂在非极性溶剂中聚集行为的报道. 本文采用碘光谱法和水增溶法测定了阴离子表面活性剂AOT 和非离子表面活性剂 Brij30 混合后在正庚烷中形成反胶束的 CMC, 以期考察表面活性剂的复配对其聚集行为的影响。

以卵磷脂为手性添加剂制备手性介孔二氧化硅

以十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)的自组装体为模板,卵磷脂(PC)为手性添加剂,在n PC∶nCTAB=1∶21时,通过溶胶-凝胶法制备了螺旋介孔二氧化硅纳米棒。利用扫描电镜(FESEM)、透射电镜(TEM)、X-射线衍射以及氮气吸附-脱附等测试手段,对该纳米棒的形貌以及孔结构进行了表征。TEM显示该纳米棒的长度约为50～200 nm,直径约为30～50 nm。X-射线衍射表明孔道呈二维六方排列,虽然FESEM显示纳米棒左右手比例约为1∶1,但通过圆二色谱表征证明该纳米棒在埃尺度下倾向于形成单一手性。结果表明,卵磷脂的手性可以传递到螺旋介孔二氧化硅纳米棒中。

Gram-scale synthesis of silica nanotubes with controlled aspect ratios by templating of nickel-hydrazine complex nanorods

We have developed a robust method for the synthesis of silica nanotubes with controlled aspect ratios on a large scale by templating against rod-like nanocrystals. Crystalline nanorods of a nickel-hydrazine complex are first formed in reverse micelles by surfactant capping on side facets, and subsequent silica coating and selective etching give rise to silica nanotubes of high uniformity and yield. The length of the silica nanotubes is tunable in the range 37-340 nm and can reach as long as micrometers. Control of the length is conveniently achieved by tuning the hydrazine/nickel ratio, which affects the growth kinetics of the nanocrystal templates. The inner diameter of the silica nanotubes can be adjusted in the range 10-20 nm by choosing different surfactants. This method is unique in utilizing reverse micelles as discrete nanoscale reactors for the growth of nanocrystals, allowing for precise control of the features of the nanotubes and opening up new opportunities in the synthesis of novel anisotropic nanomaterials, construction of nanodevices, and potential drug delivery applications.     

Morphological and structural evolution of mesoporous silicas in a mild buffer solution and lysozyme adsorption

Mesoporous silicas with various morphologies and structures were synthesized with the aid of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (TMP) in the presence of nonionic surfactant P123 [(EO)20(PO)70(EO)20] as a structure-directing agent under mild reaction conditions (HAc-NaAc buffer solution, pH 4.4). The ropelike particles formed by end-to-end interconnected nanorods were obtained at a TMP/P123 weight ratio of 0.5. It is noteworthy to mention that the mesoporous nanorods have channels running parallel to the short axis. The silica hollow spheres can be obtained at a higher TMP/P123 weight ratio because of the fusion of the primary nanorods around the interface of the O/W emulsion. Initial synthesis temperatures of 15, 25, and 40 degrees C can lead to mesoporous silicas with highly ordered 2D hexagonal mesostructure, vesicular mesostructure, and mesostructured cellular foams (MCF), respectively. The mesoporous silicas exhibit high adsorption capacity (up to 536 mg g(-1)) and very rapid (<5 min to reach equilibrium) lysozyme immobilization. More importantly, it is revealed that mesoporous silica hollow spheres with rugged surfaces can greatly accelerate the adsorption rate of the enzyme during the adsorption process.     

Effect of structure of PEO-PPO-PEO copolymers on reverse micelle formation induced by compressed CO2

The micellization of PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers in p-xylene has been studied in the presence of CO2. With the application of CO2, some copolymers with suitable molecular weights and EO ratios can form reverse micelles with critical micellization pressure up to 5.8 MPa. For the copolymers with the same length of PO block, higher EO ratios facilitate reverse micelle formation. For the copolymers with the same composition, higher molecular weight is favorable to form reverse micelles. With the suitable composition and molecular weight, the critical micelle pressure (CMP) of copolymers decreases with the increase in the lengths of PEO and PPO blocks due to the hydrophilic and folding effects, respectively. Both the EO ratios and the molecular weights are important for the formation of reverse micelle. The reverse micelle solution can solubilize water with W0 (molar ratio of water to EO segment) up to 3.3.     

Hydrothermal synthesis of ZnO nanorods in the diameter regime of 50 nm

We report a novel wet-chemical approach at 180 degrees C for the synthesis of monodispersed ZnO nanorods with high single-crystallinity. The method has successfully brought the ZnO nanorod diameter from a reported 150 nm down to the 50 nm regime in this work. The aspect ratio of the synthesized nanorods achieved is exceptionally high (in the range of 30-40). This simple low-cost approach should promise us a future large-scale synthesis of ZnO nanostructures for many important applications in nanotechnology in a controlled manner.     

Highly-controlled grafting of mono and dicationic 4,4'-bipyridine derivatives on SBA-15 for potential application as adsorbent of CuCl(2) from ethanol solution

Ultra-large-pore FDU-12 (ULP-FDU-12) silica with face-centered cubic structure (Fm3m type) of spherical mesopores was synthesized using Pluronic F127 triblock copolymer (EO(106)PO(70)EO(106)) and ethylbenzene as a new micelle expander at initial temperature of 14 °C. Ethylbenzene was identified on the basis of its reported extent of solubilization in poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-type surfactant micelles, which was similar to that of xylene, the latter having been shown earlier to afford ULP-FDU-12. The unit-cell parameter of as-synthesized ULP-FDU-12 was 55 nm, which is similar to the highest value reported when xylenes (mixture of isomers) were used and larger than that achieved with trimethylbenzene. The unit-cell parameter of calcined ULP-FDU-12 reached 52 nm. For the obtained materials, the nominal pore cage diameter calculated from nitrogen adsorption reached 32 nm, whereas the actual pore cage diameter calculated using the geometrical relation was 36 nm. The pore entrance size was below 5 nm before the acid treatment, but was greatly enlarged as a result of the treatment. The sample prepared without hydrothermal treatment was converted to ordered closed-pore silica at as low as 400-450 °C. Our study confirms the ability to select micelle expanders on the basis of data on solubilization of compounds in micelle solutions.     

Nanorods of transition metal oxalates: A versatile route to the oxide nanoparticles

A versatile route has been explored for the synthesis of nanorods of transition metal (Cu, Ni, Mn, Zn, Co and Fe) oxalates using reverse micelles. Transmission electron microscopy shows that the as-prepared nanorods of nickel and copper oxalates have diameter of 250 nm and 130 nm while the length is of the order of 2.5 μm and 480 nm, respectively. The aspect ratio of the nanorods of copper oxalate could be modified by changing the solvent. The average dimensions of manganese, zinc and cobalt oxalate nanorods were 100 μm, 120 μm and 300 nm, respectively, in diameter and 2.5 μm, 600 nm and 6.5 μm, respectively, in length. The aspect ratio of the cobalt oxalate nanorods could be modified by controlling the temperature.The nanorods of metal (Cu, Ni, Mn, Zn, Co and Fe) oxalates were found to be suitable precursors to obtain a variety of transition metal oxide nanoparticles. Our studies show that the grain size of CuO nanoparticles is highly dependent on the nature of non-polar solvent used to initially synthesize the oxalate rods. All the commonly known manganese oxides could be obtained as pure phases from the single manganese oxalate precursor by decomposing in different atmospheres (air, vacuum or nitrogen). The ZnO nanoparticles obtained from zinc oxalate rods are ～55 nm in diameter. Oxides with different morphology, Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles faceted (cuboidal) and Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles (spherical) could be obtained.
