通过傅里叶变换流变学(FTR)方法,考察了2种屈服应力流体(触变性凝胶和非触变性凝胶)在不同频率大振幅振荡剪切流场(LAOS)下的非线性流变行为.研究发现2种凝胶不同的内部结构对LAOS下的非线性行为和屈服转变行为有显著的影响.对于非触变性凝胶,其非线性强度随应力的增大呈连续变化的趋势,并且转变过程体现了微结构单元形变、松弛以及相对滑移与振荡频率的耦合关系;而对于触变性凝胶,其非线性强度随应力增加呈现非单调变化,表明了固液转变过程是通过多次的局部结构破坏发生的.     

甲醇在Pt表面电化学氧化过程中的化学振荡

基于甲醇电化学氧化的双途径机理,建立了能够表征甲醇电化学氧化过程电位振荡的非线性动力学模型.所建甲醇氧化系统动力学演化模型涉及三个主要的变量:电极电位(e),毒性中间体CO的表面覆盖度(x),含氧物种H2Oa的表面覆盖度(y).通过反应速率常数ki=exp(ai(e-ei))实现了化学反应与电极电位的耦合.研究发现,在不同的电流密度范围内甲醇电化学氧化呈现不同的动力学特征.甲醇电化学氧化时出现的电位振荡现象可以归因为:一是氧化过程中生成了毒性中间体CO,这是产生电化学振荡的诱因;二是强烈依赖于电极电位的非电化学反应,即,含氧物种H2Oa在Pt表面的生成与消失,则是维系振荡的直接原因.而甲醇电化学氧化体系复杂的动力学行为根源在于电极电位e对CO和含氧物种H2Oa所参与反应的耦合反馈作用.对所建模型的数值分析成功地解释了为什么甲醇电化学氧化时出现的电位振荡现象只发生在一定的电流密度范围.

Stimuli-responsive nanocomposite gels

A new class of polymer hydrogels, nanocomposite hydrogels (NC gels), consisting of a unique organic (polymer)/inorganic (clay) network structure, was synthesized by in situ free-radical polymerization in the presence of exfoliated clay nanoparticles in an aqueous system. The resulting NC gels overcame most of the disadvantages associated with chemically cross-linked hydrogels, such as mechanical fragility, structural heterogeneity, and slow de-swelling rate. By using thermo-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) as a constituent polymer, NC gels with remarkable mechanical, optical, and swelling properties as well as thermo-sensitivity were obtained. The various properties of NC gels, such as transparency, gel volume, cell culturing, and surface friction changed significantly in response to the temperature and surrounding conditions. All the excellent properties and new stimuli-responsive characteristics of NC gels are attributed to the unique PNIPA/clay network structure. The thermo-sensitivities and the transition temperature can largely be controlled by varying the clay content and by the addition of solutes.

Mechanically Strong Janus Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/Graphene Oxide Hydrogels as Thermo-responsive Soft Robots

Simple preparation of stimuli-responsive hydrogels with good mechanical properties and mild stimuliresponsiveness is essential for their applications as smart soft robots.Mechanically strong Janus poly(Nisopropylacrylamide)/graphene oxide (PNIPAM/GO) nanocomposite hydrogels with stimuli-responsive bending behaviors are prepared through a simple one-step method by using molds made of a Teflon plate and a glass plate.Residual oxygen in the air bubbles on the Teflon plate surface affects the polymerization and hence the cross-linking density,leading to the different swelling/deswelling rates of the two sides of the gels.Therefore,the hydrogels exhibit bending/unbending behaviors upon heating/cooling in water.The incorporation of GO nanosheets dramatically enhances the mechanical properties of Janus hydrogels.Meanwhile,the photo-responsive property of the GO nanosheets also imparts the hydrogels with remotecontrollable deformation under IR irradiation.The application of the Janus PNIPAM/GO hydrogels as thermo-responsive grippers is demonstrated.     

Click-Formed Polymer Gels with Aggregation-Induced Emission and Dual Stimuli-Responsive Behaviors

Stimuli-responsive polymer gels have recently attracted great attention due to their heat/solvent resistance, dimensional stability, and unique sensitivity to external stimuli. In this work, we synthesized thiol-functionalized tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and constructed polymer gels through thiol-ene click reaction. The synthetic process of the polymer gels could be monitored by fluorescence emission of TPE moieties based on aggregation-induced emission mechanism. In addition, due to the dual redox- and acid responsiveness of the polymer gels, in the presence of dithiothreitol and trifluoroacetic acid, fluorescence quenching of the polymer gels can be observed. This stimuli-responsive characteristics endows the polymer gels with potential applications in fluorescent sensing and imaging, cancer diagnosis and selfhealing materials.

Chemomechanical oscillations in polymer gels: Effect of the size of samples

The appearance of chemomechanical oscillations in polymer gels during the Belousov-Zhabotinskii reaction is studied. The effect of the size of composite gels based on polyacrylamide and silica, as well as the gels of acrylamide-sodium acrylate copolymer, on the mode of the reaction and the period of oscillations is examined. It is established that there is a limiting gel diameter below which the chemical oscillations of the oxidation state of a catalyst do not result in the appearance of chemical waves: Redox transformations occur uniformly within the sample. The gel-size threshold value below which the mechanical oscillations of the polymer network are not observed is determined. On the basis of the comparison of phase difference between mechanical and chemical oscillations for samples of various sizes and data on the swelling degree of gel in equilibrium states in which the catalyst is in either the oxidized or the reduced state, a conclusion is made about the mechanism of volume oscillations of the polymer network.     

Self-healing supramolecular gels formed by crown ether based host-guest interactions

Automatic repair: a polymer with pendent dibenzo[24]crown-8 units (purple in picture) was cross-linked by two bisammonium salts (green) to form two supramolecular gels based on host-guest interactions. These two gels are stimuli-responsive materials that respond to changes of the pH value and are also self-healing materials, as can be seen by eye and as evidenced by rheological data.     

Reaction path potential for complex systems derived from combined ab initio quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical calculations

Combined ab initio quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical calculations have been widely used for modeling chemical reactions in complex systems such as enzymes, with most applications being based on the determination of a minimum energy path connecting the reactant through the transition state to the product in the enzyme environment. However, statistical mechanics sampling and reaction dynamics calculations with a combined ab initio quantum mechanical (QM) and molecular mechanical (MM) potential are still not feasible because of the computational costs associated mainly with the ab initio quantum mechanical calculations for the QM subsystem. To address this issue, a reaction path potential energy surface is developed here for statistical mechanics and dynamics simulation of chemical reactions in enzymes and other complex systems. The reaction path potential follows the ideas from the reaction path Hamiltonian of Miller, Handy and Adams for gas phase chemical reactions but is designed specifically for large systems that are described with combined ab initio quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical methods. The reaction path potential is an analytical energy expression of the combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical potential energy along the minimum energy path. An expansion around the minimum energy path is made in both the nuclear and the electronic degrees of freedom for the QM subsystem internal energy, while the energy of the subsystem described with MM remains unchanged from that in the combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical expression and the electrostatic interaction between the QM and MM subsystems is described as the interaction of the MM charges with the QM charges. The QM charges are polarizable in response to the changes in both the MM and the QM degrees of freedom through a new response kernel developed in the present work. The input data for constructing the reaction path potential are energies, vibrational frequencies, and electron density response properties of the QM subsystem along the minimum energy path, all of which can be obtained from the combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical calculations. Once constructed, it costs much less for its evaluation. Thus, the reaction path potential provides a potential energy surface for rigorous statistical mechanics and reaction dynamics calculations of complex systems. As an example, the method is applied to the statistical mechanical calculations for the potential of mean force of the chemical reaction in triosephosphate isomerase.
