Synthesis and characterization of well‐defined diblock and triblock copolymers of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) and poly(ethylene oxide)

Well‐defined diblock and triblock copolymers composed of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) were successfully synthesized through the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization of N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) with PEO capped with one or two dithiobenzoyl groups as a macrotransfer agent. ¹H NMR, Fourier transform infrared, and gel permeation chromatography instruments were used to characterize the block copolymers obtained. The results showed that the diblock and triblock copolymers had well‐defined structures and narrow molecular weight distributions (weight‐average molecular weight/number‐average molecular weight < 1.2), and the molecular weight of the PNIPAM block in the diblock and triblock copolymers could be controlled by the initial molar ratio of NIPAM to dithiobenzoate‐terminated PEO and the NIPAM conversion. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetric determination of traces of copper with a tobramycin-Nafion modified electrode.

A Nafion-modified glassy carbon electrode incorporated with tobramycin for the voltammetric stripping determination of Cu2+ has been explored. The electrode was fabricated by tobramycin containing Nafion on the glassy carbon electrode surface. The modified electrode exhibited a significantly increased sensitivity and selectivity for Cu2+ compared with a bare glassy carbon electrode and the Nafion modified electrode. Cu2+ was accumulated in HAc-NaAc buffer (pH 4.6) at a potential of -0.6 V (vs. SCE) for 300 s and then determined by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. The effects of various parameters, such as the mass of Nafion, the concentration of tobramycin, the pH of the medium, the accumulation potential, the accumulation time and the scan rate, were investigated. Under the optimum conditions, a linear calibration graph was obtained in the concentration range of 1.0 x 10(-9) to 5.0 x 10(-7) mol l(-1) with a correlation coefficient of 0.9971. The relative standard deviations for eight successive determinations were 4.3 and 2.9% for 1.0 x 10(-8) and 2.0 x 10(-7) mol l(-1) Cu2+, respectively. The detection limit (three times signal to noise) was 5.0 x 10(-10) mol l(-1). A study of interfering substances was also performed, and the method was applied to the direct determination of copper in water samples, and also in analytical reagent-grade salts with satisfactory results.     

Determination of polymeric aluminum in soil extracted with a modified anion-exchange resin as a solid-phase adsorbent by ICP-AES.

In the present work, a new method was established by applying solid-phase extraction (SPE) to preconcentrate and separate polymeric aluminum (Al) and using ICP-AES to determine the polymeric Al, the total monomeric Al, and the total Al in soil extracts, respectively. A modified resin was prepared with impregnated 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfoxinate (HQS) on the anion-exchange resin. It has good recognition ability for Al fractions, compared to the commonly used cation ion-exchange resin, which has a better ability to adsorb cations and a weak ability to recognize detailed Al species. The optimum conditions for Al fractionation sorption, elution and separation and the interference of foreign ions were studied with the prepared resin by continuous column and batch procedures. Monomeric Al was bound to Pyrocathecol Violet (PCV) at pH 6.2, whereas the polymeric Al species did not react with PCV for at least 15 min. Because a stable complex of Al-PCV was not absorbed on the HQS modified resin, the polymeric Al could be preconcentrated on-line by the HQS-modified resin. The adsorbed polymeric Al was eluted with 3 mL of 3 mol L(-1) of HCl, and then detected by ICP-AES. The method has been applied to directly determine polymeric Al in soil extracts with high selectivity as well as a high preconcentration factor. It gives a limit of detection of 0.6 ng mL(-1) with a relative standard deviation of less than 5.7% (n = 5, 0.24 microg mL(-1) Al).     

Relationship between the dynamic softening transition and wet sliding friction of elastomer compounds

For properly chosen elastomer compounds, thermorheological characterization is combined with an examination of the variation of the wet sliding friction with temperature. A conceptual argument leads to the assumption that the wet sliding friction should maximize at the energy dissipation peak associated with the dynamic softening transition at a characteristic frequency determined by the sliding speed and the effective smallest surface asperity scale. The dynamic softening transition is characterized with the peak in tan δ/G′ⁿ, where tan δ is the loss tangent, G′ is the elastic modulus, and n is a constant between 0 and 1. The William–Landel–Ferry transform is uncritically applied for extrapolating the position of the peak in tan δ/G′ⁿ at high frequencies. Even based on the criterion of tan δ, the results obtained on a concrete surface indicate that the effective smallest asperity scale is of order of 100 μm. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
