Effect of cellulose nanofibers on induced polymerization of aniline and formation of nanostructured conducting composite

Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), derived from the most abundant and renewable biopolymer, are known as natural one-dimensional nanomaterials because of their high aspect ratio. CNFs also are rich in hydroxyl groups, offering opportunities for functionalization toward development of high-value nanostructured composites. Herein, CNFs were extracted from poplar wood powder by chemical pretreatment combined with high-intensity ultrasonication, and then coated with polyaniline (PANI) through in situ polymerization. The PANI-coated CNFs formed nanostructured frameworks around PANI, thereby conferring the CNF/PANI composite with stability and higher charge transport. The optimum PANI content to achieve maximum conductivity of CNF/PANI composites was determined. The morphology, crystall structure, chemical composition, and conductivity of the samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and four-point probe method, respectivily. Our results demonstrated that CNFs can be effective as a template for a flexible and stable conducting polymer to form higher-order nanostructures.     

甲氨蝶呤的电化学测定及与溶菌酶相互作用的研究

研究甲氨蝶呤(MTX)在石墨烯修饰玻碳电极上的电化学行为,探讨MTX与溶菌酶(LYSO)的相互作用及其作用机理。结果发现,在pH 4.5的HAc-NaAc缓冲溶液中,石墨烯修饰电极对MTX的电化学氧化具有明显的催化作用,氧化峰电流相对于在裸玻碳电极上增加了5倍。线性范围为0.05~3.0μmol/L,检出限(S/N=3)为0.02μmol/L。对0.8μmol/L的MTX11次平行测定,RSD为3.5%。当LYSO加入MTX溶液后,其峰电流降低。紫外光谱有红移增色效应。MTX与LYSO结合比为1∶1,结合常数为4.9×105L/mol。方法可用于MTX片药物的检测及与蛋白相互作用的研究。

丙烯酸酯/液晶/POSS复合体系光聚合过程中的体积收缩

采用光-流变学方法研究了丙烯酸酯/液晶复合体系的光聚合凝胶时间及体积收缩率,并与密度法测量的体积收缩率进行了对比.结果表明,该复合体系的凝胶时间小于10 s,光-流变学方法可以在线测量丙烯酸酯单体/液晶复合体系的光聚合体积收缩.以2种不同结构的多面体齐聚倍半硅氧烷(POSS)掺杂丙烯酸酯/液晶复合体系,八甲基丙烯酰氧基倍半硅氧烷(MA-POSS)使丙烯酸酯/液晶复合体系的双键转化率略有降低,掺杂10 wt%MA-POSS使体系的光聚合体积收缩率仅降低了12%;而甲基丙烯酰氧基七异丁基倍半硅氧烷(MI-POSS)对体系双键转化率的影响较小,显著降低了体系的光聚合体积收缩,掺杂10 wt%MI-POSS使体系的光聚合体积收缩率降低29%.     

多糖凝胶的孔径和化学结构对单壁碳纳米管流动性和选择性分离的影响

基于凝胶柱色谱分离技术研究了单分散的单壁碳纳米管(SWCNTs)在不同化学结构多孔多糖凝胶中的流动特性以及对金属型(m-)/半导体型(s-)SWCNTs分离的影响.通过比较SWCNTs在一系列不同孔径的葡聚糖Sephacryl凝胶中的流动行为,发现减小孔径尺寸能够增强s-SWCNTs与凝胶之间的吸附作用力,使大直径的m-SWCNTs快速地流过凝胶颗粒,而选择性地保留了小直径的s-SWCNTs.进一步发现多糖凝胶化学结构比孔径尺寸在SWCNTs的m/s分离中起着更重要的作用.当基于葡聚糖结构的Sephacryl凝胶中的氨基结构被琼脂糖结构所取代时,如Superdex 200和Sepharose 2B凝胶会增强它们与SWCNTs之间的作用力,使SWCNTs的保留时间延长,降低了s-SWCNTs的选择性和纯度.此外,即使拥有与Sephacryl S100类似的孔径范围,当Sephacryl凝胶中的氨基被疏水环氧丙烷基团取代时,葡聚糖凝胶Sephadex G100与SWCNTs的作用力很弱,导致所有SWCNTs快速流动,无法实现SWCNTs的m/s分离.因而,我们认为凝胶孔径和化学结构共同影响并调控了SWCNTs的m/s分离的选择性、纯度以及分离效率.     

A Bioorthogonal Small‐Molecule‐Switch System for Controlling Protein Function in Live Cells

Chemically induced dimerization (CID) has proven to be a powerful tool for modulating protein interactions. However, the traditional dimerizer rapamycin has limitations in certain in vivo applications because of its slow reversibility and its affinity for endogenous proteins. Described herein is a bioorthogonal system for rapidly reversible CID. A novel dimerizer with synthetic ligand of FKBP′ (SLF′) linked to trimethoprim (TMP). The SLF′ moiety binds to the F36V mutant of FK506‐binding protein (FKBP) and the TMP moiety binds to E. coli dihydrofolate reductase (eDHFR). SLF′‐TMP‐induced heterodimerization of FKBP(F36V) and eDHFR with a dissociation constant of 0.12 μM . Addition of TMP alone was sufficient to rapidly disrupt this heterodimerization. Two examples are presented to demonstrate that this system is an invaluable tool, which can be widely used to rapidly and reversibly control protein function in vivo.     

Redox Chemistry of a Hydroxyphenyl‐Substituted Borane

Chemical reduction of a hydroxyphenyl‐substituted borane triggers a sequential electron‐ and intramolecular hydrogen‐atom‐transfer process to afford a hydridoborate phenoxide dianion. On the other hand, hydrogen‐atom abstraction of the borane leads to the isolation of a neutral borylated phenoxyl radical, which can be transformed to the corresponding benzoquinone borataalkene derivative by reduction with cobaltocene.     

Self‐Healable Electrically Conducting Wires for Wearable Microelectronics

Electrically conducting wires play a critical role in the advancement of modern electronics and in particular are an important key to the development of next‐generation wearable microelectronics. However, the thin conducting wires can easily break during use, and the whole device fails to function as a result. Herein, a new family of high‐performance conducting wires that can self‐heal after breaking has been developed by wrapping sheets of aligned carbon nanotubes around polymer fibers. The aligned carbon nanotubes offer an effective strategy for the self‐healing of the electric conductivity, whereas the polymer fiber recovers its mechanical strength. A self‐healable wire‐shaped supercapacitor fabricated from a wire electrode of this type maintained a high capacitance after breaking and self‐healing.
