Preparation of block copolymer vesicles in solution

Block copolymer vesicles can be prepared in solution from a variety of different amphiphilic systems. Polystyrene‐block‐poly(acrylic acid), polystyrene‐block‐poly(ethylene oxide), and many other block copolymer systems can produce vesicles of a wide range of sizes; those in the range of 100–1000 nm have been explored extensively. Different factors, such as the absolute and relative block lengths, the presence of additives (ions, homopolymers, and surfactants), the water content in the solvent mixture, the nature and composition of the solvent, the temperature, and the polydispersity of the hydrophilic block, provide control over the types of vesicles produced. Their high stability, resistance to many external stimuli, and ability to package both hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds make them excellent candidates for use in the medical, pharmaceutical, and environmental fields. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Activated bis- and tetrafluoroaromatic compounds containing bis-phenylquinoxaline fragments

New activated bis- and tetrafluoroaromatic compounds containing the bis-phenylquinoxaline fragments, viz., methylene-bis-6(7),6"(7")-{2-(p-fluoro)phenyl-3[4-(p-fluorobenzoyl)phenyl]quinoxalines}, were prepared according to multistep procedures with the use of chloral as the starting compound. The presence of the activating carbonyl groups in the para positions with respect to two fluorine atoms opens up the possibility of the use of these monomers for the synthesis of high-molecular-weight aromatic quinoxaline-containing polyether ketones.     

苯乙烯-异戊二烯两嵌段共聚物溶液的dn/dc和紫外吸收光谱

本文研究了苯乙烯-异戊二烯两嵌段共聚物在CHCl_3中的折光指数浓度增量(dn/dc)和紫外吸收光谱。嵌段共聚物dn/dc具有很好的加和性,可以测定嵌段共聚物的组成。紫外吸收光谱的结果表明,除低苯乙烯含量的样品外,其它嵌段共聚物都显示明显的紫外增色性(UV hyperchromism)。因此UV和UV-RI双检测GPC不会得到可靠的嵌段共聚物组成数据。这种增色现象与其特征的紫外吸收谱图紧密关联     

A concise route to the right wing of ciguatoxin

A concise route to the HIJKLM-ring fragment 10 of ciguatoxin (CTX) and 51-hydroxyCTX3C was developed in which oxiranyl anion addition and intramolecular carbonyl olefination were utilized as key transformations. The present procedure requires only 23 steps from the I-ring 5, while 35 steps were employed in a previous synthesis of the corresponding right wing 11 of CTX3C. The high efficiency of the present synthesis ensures a supply of 10 for total synthesis and biomedical applications.     

Surface composition and property of film prepared with aqueous dispersion of polyurethaneurea-acrylate including fluorinated block copolymer

The aqueous dispersion of polyurethaneurea-acrylate (PUA) including small amount of fluorinated block copolymers containing carboxyl groups (PATF), which can be dissolved in water, was used to make films and the surface properties of these films were examined. The experimental data show that the modified PUA film exhibits a hydrophobic surface property, although the original surface of PUA film is hydrophilic. The surface composition of the modified PUA film was measured by ATR and XPS. The results indicate that there is a concentration gradient of the fluorine groups along the lines of thickness of the modified film and towards the outmost surface layer, resulting from the migration of fluorinated blocks to the air side surface of the modified PUA film during the film formation process. However, the PUA film can not be modified effectively by adding the sodium salt of PATF, since the urethane groups in the system are easy to occupy on the surface of the film.     

Solid state extrusion of thermoplastic elastomers 4

A solid state extrusion technique is applied as to produce oriented block copoly(ether ester) under various physical conditions. The morphology of the extruded samples is characterized in relation to the extrusion parameters and hard segment compositions of the polymer, using thermal analysis and X-ray methods. The lateral dimensions of the crystalline domains are found to be approximately 150 Å depending on the extrusion conditions. The statistics of the long range periodicity of the structure along the extrusion direction is in agreement with a one-dimensional two phase model, the crystalline portion of which does not vary much in thickness (35 – 45 Å). The unexpected increase in the long period and the thermal shrinkage suggest the existence of strained interlamellar amorphous chains (tie molecules). The observed variations in tensile properties are interpreted under the assumption that both the number of such tie molecules and their fully extended lengths are determined by the hard segment composition and the extrusion conditions. It is also argued that the increase in the glass transition temperature is not only a function of the composition of hard segments in the amorphous phase but also of the number of strained tie molecules.Herrn Dr. Dr. h. c.

Study on EPR Spectra of Three Gadolinium Complexes With Noncyclic Polyether Schiff Bases

The EPR spectra of three new gadolinium complexes with noncyclic polyether Schiff bases in powder and those of these complexes in organic solvents were investigated at different temperatures. It was observed that EPR spectra of nine and four peaks of Gd(Ⅲ) complexes in polycrystalline powder and freezing samples appeared at low temperature respectively for the first time. The interpretations of these results obtained on the basis of spin Hamiltonian of s = 7/2 system are satisfactory. The correlations of EPR feature between crystal-field strength in complexes and local symmetry around Gd3+ ions were revealed. The crystal-field parameters b20 and the asymmetry parameters λ' of complexes were estimated. A series of interesting regularity and new results were obtained.
