Non‐enzymatic Electrochemical Sensor for the Simultaneous Determination of Xanthine,its Methyl Derivatives Theophylline and Caffeine as well as its Metabolite Uric Acid

Xanthine and its methyl derivatives, theophylline and caffeine are purines which find important roles in biological systems. The simultaneous voltammetric behaviour of these purines has been studied on a glassy carbon electrode modified with an electropolymerised film of para amino benzene sulfonic acid. Well defined and well separated peaks were obtained for the oxidation of xanthine, theophylline and caffeine on the polymer modified electrode in the square wave mode. The experimental requirements to obtain the best results for individual as well as simultaneous determination were optimised. The signal for the electro‐oxidation was found to be free of interferences from each other in the range 0.9 – 100 μM in the case of xanthine and from 10–100 μM in the case of theophylline and caffeine with detection limits 0.35 μM, 7.02 μM and 11.95 μM respectively. The simultaneous determination of uric acid, the final metabolic product of xanthine oxidation in biological systems could also be accomplished along with xanthine, theophylline and caffeine atphysiological pH. The mechanistic aspects of the electro‐oxidation on the polymer modified electrode was also studied using linear sweep voltammetry. Chronoamperometry was employed to determine the diffusion coefficient of these xanthines. The developed sensor has been successfully demonstrated to be suitable for the determination of these compounds in real samples without much pre‐treatment.     

Multifunctional Surface Modification: Facile and Flexible Reactivity toward a Precisely Controlled Biointerface

A multicomponent functional polymer is synthesized to support specific reactivity for successful conjugation with the vast array of functionality present in biological systems and the flexibility to conjugate biomolecules without requiring additional modification to install a terminal functional group. The multifunctional surface is realized using a novel coating composed of distinct N‐hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester and benzoyl functionalities, which can provide accessibility to both the NHS ester‐amine coupling reaction and the photochemically induced benzophenone crosslinking reaction, respectively. In addition, the multifunctional polymer is fabricated and transformed to form nanoscale colloids through the solvent displacement of a water/DMF system due to solubility characteristics of the resulting polymer with high polarity. A facile and efficient fabrication approach using the multifunctional nanocolloid is thus demonstrated to create a drug carrier by installing paclitaxel and folic acid for targeted cancer therapy.

     

Properties of flame‐retardant TPU based on para‐aramid fiber modified with iron diethyl phosphinate

In this paper, a new type of flame retardant (AF‐Fe) based on para‐aramid fiber (AF) which was modified with iron diethyl phosphinate was applied for thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU). The flame‐retardant properties of TPU were tested using cone calorimeter test, smoke density test, and thermogravimetric analysis/infrared spectrometry. The cone calorimeter test showed that AF‐Fe can greatly reduce the heat release rate, total heat release, smoke factor, and other parameters of TPU composites compared with the sample of TPU/AF. For example, the pHRR of the composite with 1.0 wt% AF‐Fe was reduced by 15.19% compared with the sample with the same content of pure AF. In addition, the smoke factor of TPU/AFFe3 was reduced by 50.52% and 15.63% compared with TPU0 and TPU/AF respectively. The results of smoke density test showed that the luminous flux of TPU/AFFe3 was increased by 79.26% compared with the sample of TPU/AF. The TG results revealed that the sample with TPU/AFFe3 had lower weight loss rate and higher char residue content at 700°C compared with the sample of TPU/AF.

Synthesis of highly branched polyethylene using para‐phenyl‐substituted α‐diimine nickel catalysts

A series of para‐phenyl‐substituted α‐diimine nickel complexes, [(2,6‐R₂‐4‐PhC₆H₂N═C(Me))₂]NiBr₂ (R = ⁱPr ( 1 ); R = Et ( 2 ); R = Me ( 3 ); R = H ( 4 )), were synthesized and characterized. These complexes with systematically varied ligand sterics were used as precatalysts for ethylene polymerization in combination with methylaluminoxane. The results indicated the possibility of catalytic activity, molecular weight and polymer microstructure control through catalyst structures and polymerization temperature. Interestingly, it is possible to tune the catalytic activities ((0.30–2.56) × 10⁶ g (mol Ni·h)^?1), polymer molecular weights (M_n = (2.1–28.6) × 10⁴ g mol^?1) and branching densities (71–143/1000 C) over a very wide range. The polyethylene branching densities decreased with increasing bulkiness of ligand and decreasing polymerization temperature. Specifically, methyl‐substituted complex 3 showed high activities and produced highly branched amorphous polyethylene (up to 143 branches per 1000 C).     

Preparation of linear and hyperbranched fluorinated poly(aryl ether‐thioether) through para‐fluoro‐thiol click reaction

The para‐fluoro‐thiol “click” reaction (PFTCR) was utilized to prepare linear and hyperbranched fluorinated poly (aryl ether‐thioether). For this purpose, 1,2‐bis(perfluorophenoxy)ethane was prepared and reacted with 1,6‐hexandithiol and trimethylolpropane tris(3‐mercaptopropionate), respectively. While hyperbranched polymers were prepared using 0.5 M concentrations of starting materials at room temperature, the linear polymer syntheses were performed at different reaction temperatures and concentrations. The resulting polymers were mainly characterized by NMR measurements and a very distinct fluorine signals regarding meta‐ and ortho‐ positions in the ¹⁹F NMR were found for both polymer topologies. In addition to NMR analyses, both linear and hyperbranched polymers were further characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and structure of para‐toluene sulfonamide lanthanide complexes and their application in the polymerization of ε‐caprolactone

A series of para‐toluene sulfonamide ligands [TsNHPr‐i( HL ₁ ), TsNHBu‐t( HL ₂ ), TsNHPh( HL ₃ ), TsNHPhMe‐p( HL ₄ ), TsNHPhOMe‐p( HL ₅ )] were synthesized by amidation using para‐toluene sulfonyl chloride reacting with different primary amines. A series of homoleptic lanthanide complexes (Ln L₃, 1–10) (Ln = La, L = L₁ ( 1 ), Ln = Gd, L = L₂ ( 2 ), Ln = La, L = L₂ ( 3 ), Ln = Gd, L = L₂( 4 ), Ln = La, L = L₃ ( 5 ), Ln = Gd, L = L₃ ( 6 ), Ln = La, L = L₄ ( 7 ), Ln = Gd, L = L₄( 8 ), Ln = La, L = L₅ ( 9 ), Ln = Gd, L = L₅ ( 10 )) were prepared by amine elimination reactions of the ligands with Ln[N(SiMe₃)₂]₃ (Ln = La, Gd). Complexes 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 and 9 were all characterized by NMR spectra, and the structures of complex 3 was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Complex 3 crystallizes a binuclear cluster, consisting of two La³⁺ and six (TsNBu‐t)⁻ anions. Three (TsNBu‐t)⁻ anions are chelating to each La³⁺ as bidentate model with O and N forming three‐membered chelate rings; one of three anions is bridging to another La³⁺ via oxygen. All complexes were characterized using elemental analysis and infrared spectra. The catalytic properties of complexes 1–10 for the ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone were studied and the results showed that all complexes are efficient initiators for this ring‐opening polymerization reaction.     

The Kinetics and Mechanism of Esterification and Polyesterification Reactions

The conditions under which previous kinetic measurements have been carried out on esterification and polyesterification reactions have been examined in relation to the significance of the conclusions reached. It is suggested that only in the later stages of the reactions are conditions achieved which yield sensible kinetic results.
