Preparation of poly(N‐ethyl methacrylamide) particles via an emulsion/precipitation process: The role of the crosslinker

Monodisperse, thermosensitive poly(N‐ethyl methacrylamide) microgel particles were prepared by the batch precipitation/emulsion polymerization of water‐soluble N‐ethyl methacrylamide and the hydrophobic crosslinker ethylene glycol dimethacrylate initiated by potassium persulfate. Particular attention was paid to the effect of the crosslinker agent on the polymerization process (kinetics, conversion, and water‐soluble oligomer content). Particles were characterized in terms of their size distribution and swelling capacity. A polymerization mechanism for the water‐soluble monomer and non‐water‐soluble crosslinker is proposed and discussed on the basis of a combination of both emulsion and precipitation polymerization processes. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ni-B和Ni-Ce-B超细非晶态合金的退火晶化及其催化性能

 采用XAFS,XRD和DTA方法研究了Ni－B和Ni－Ce－B超细非晶态合金在退火过程中的结构变化及其结构与催化性能的关系．活性结果表明,在退火温度为623K时,Ni－B和Ni－Ce－B样品的苯加氢催化反应转化率最高,分别为63％和81％,0．3％Ce的掺入提高了Ni－Ce－B的催化活性．DTA结果表明,Ni－B超细非晶态合金在598和653K有两个晶化峰,而Ni－Ce－B样品有548,603,696和801K四个晶化峰．XAFS和XRD结果进一步说明,在573K退火时,Ni－B样品晶化生成晶态Ni3B和纳米晶Ni,此时Ni－Ce－B仅有少量晶态Ni3B生成．在673K退火时,Ni－B样品中的Ni3B开始分解生成晶态Ni,同时纳米晶Ni聚集并形成大颗粒晶态Ni,而Ni－Ce－B样品晶化生成晶态Ni3B和纳米晶Ni．在773K和更高的温度退火处理后,Ni－B样品中Ni的局域环境结构与金属Ni箔基本一致,但Ni－Ce－B样品晶化生成的Ni晶格有较大畸变,同时Ni3B并未分解．说明0．3％的Ce对提高Ni－Ce－B样品的稳定性有显著作用．本文首次报道了Ni－B和Ni－Ce－B超细非晶态合金中苯加氢催化活性中心为纳米晶Ni和类似于金属Ni的Ni－B非晶态合金．     

Mechanism of azole antifungal activity as determined by liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometric monitoring of ergosterol biosynthesis

A liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) method for separation and characterization of ergosterol biosynthetic precursors was developed to study the effect of Posaconazole on sterol biosynthesis in fungi. Ergosterol biosynthetic precursors were characterized from their electron ionization mass spectra acquired by a normal-phase chromatography, particle beam LC/MS method. Fragment ions resulting from cleavage across the D-ring and an abundant M - 15 fragment ion were diagnostic for methyl substitution at C-4 and C-14. Comparison of the sterol profile in control and treated Candida albicans incubations showed depletion of ergosterol and accumulation of C-4 and C-14 methyl-substituted sterols following treatment with Posaconazole. These C-4 and C-14 methyl sterols are known to be incapable of sustaining cell growth. The results demonstrate that Posaconazole exerts its antifungal activity by inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis. Furthermore, Posaconazole appears to disrupt ergosterol biosynthesis by inhibition of lanosterol 14alpha-demethylase.

Hierarchical Structure‐Within‐Structure Morphologies in A2‐star‐(B‐alt‐C) Molecules

We employ dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) to examine the self‐assembly behavior of A₂‐star‐(B‐alt‐C) molecules. We successfully observe various types of hierarchical structure‐within‐structures, such as A‐formed spheres in the matrix formed by B and C alternating layers, hexagonally packed A‐formed cylinders in the matrix with B and C segregated layers, B and C alternating layers‐within‐lamellae, coaxial B and C alternating domains within hexagonally packed BC‐formed cylinders in the A‐matrix, and co‐centric BC‐alternating domains within BC‐formed spheres in the A‐matrix, by increasing the A composition. Generally speaking, the small length‐scale B and C segregated domains are in parallel to the large length‐scale structures. This hierarchical periodicity along the same axis as well as the various characteristic structures, that the A₂‐star‐(B‐alt‐C) copolymers display, are quite different from those in A‐block‐(B‐graft‐C) coil‐comb copolymers. Moreover, it is interesting to find that when the copolymer chain length increases, though the hierarchical structure type is maintained, the number of small length‐scale lamellae that can form within the large length‐scale structure increases. These hierarchical structures under various compositions are reported theoretically for the first time in the copolymer systems consisting of the alternating blocks, and are in good agreement with the most recent experimental work by Matsushita and co‐workers (Macromolecules 2007 , 40, 4023).

水煤浆添加剂与煤之间的相互作用规律研究 Ⅰ. 复合煤颗粒间的相互作用对水煤浆流变性的影响

使用12种不同分散剂对14种不同变质程度的煤进行了成浆性实验，分析了182个水煤浆(CWS)样品的流变性。结果表明，低变质程度和高灰煤浆多呈屈服假塑性，煤的性质起主导作用；变质程度高且灰分较低煤浆的流变性，主要依赖于分散剂的结构与性质；分子结构单元立体空间效应大，疏水基团与亲水基团呈立体间隔分布的分散剂，易形成屈服假塑性CWS；分子线度长，亲水基团与疏水基团呈线性间隔分布的分散剂，易形成胀塑性CWS。复合煤粒间的相互作用方式是决定CWS流变特性的关键。
