Infrared ellipsometry of interdiffusion in thin films of miscible polymers

A new application of infrared ellipsometry is reported. Specifically, the interdiffusion between thin films of miscible polymers—poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(vinylidene fluoride)—is detected in a non‐invasive measurement. A novel technique of data analysis for interdiffusion was developed and is described. The validity of the approach is supported by simulations of diffusion in a bilayer. The onset of extensive interdiffusion over a time period of 15 min occurs at a temperature of 160 °C. At a temperature of 190 °C, the data show that complete mixing of a bilayer (850 nm thick) occurs within 30 s, which is consistent with previously reported values of the mutual diffusion coefficient. Infrared ellipsometry is non‐invasive, applicable at elevated temperatures and relatively fast and sensitive. Although, in these measurements, it was unable to determine a concentration profile at the interface, infrared ellipsometry was used successfully to detect when interdiffusion had occurred. Hence, it is a useful means for screening polymer pairs for miscibility. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Progress on phthalocyanine-conjugated Ag and Au nanoparticles: Synthesis,characterization, and photo-physicochemical properties

Phthalocyanine (Pc) complexes are an important class of dyes with numerous (e.g., biological, photophysical, and analytical) applications. Among the methods used to improve the properties of these complexes, one should mention the introduction of different substituents, variation of the central metal ion, ligand exchange, and conjugation to nanomaterials (e.g., carbon-based nanomaterials and metal nanoparticles (NPs)). This work briefly reviews Pc complex conjugation to Ag and Au NPs, highlights the different NP shapes, and discusses the diversity of conjugation approaches. Moreover, the use of UV–Vis spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, dynamic light scattering and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to characterize Pc-NP hybrids is summarized. The effect of conjugation on Pc photo-physicochemical properties (fluorescence, singlet oxygen generation, triplet state formation, and optical limiting behavior) is discussed, and future perspectives for the synthesis and applications of new hybrids are provided.     

原位漫反射红外光谱法研究SO2对Ag/Al2O3选择性催化丙烯还原NOx反应的影响

 以Ag/Al2O3为催化剂,采用原位漫反射傅里叶变换红外光谱法研究了SO2对C3H6选择性还原NOx反应的影响. 结果表明, SO2在催化剂表面转化为硫酸盐,并且随着硫酸盐累积量的增加,其主要红外特征吸收峰由低波数向高波数漂移. 高浓度表面硫酸盐的存在不仅抑制了催化剂表面硝酸盐的生成,而且抑制了硝酸盐与表面烯醇式物种(RCH=CH-O-)或乙酸盐物种进一步反应,生成活泼的反应中间体异氰酸酯(-NCO), 这是导致Ag/Al2O3催化剂上C3H6选择性还原NOx活性降低的主要原因.     

土壤腐殖质各组分红外光谱研究

土壤腐殖质是土壤中所特有的一类特殊的高分子化合物,具有重要的肥力和环境调节功能。其中胡敏素的提取和纯化很困难,从而限制了对其性质和结构的研究。为揭示胡敏素的结构性质,本研究按Pallo分组,将胡敏酸(HA)分为焦磷酸钠提取的胡敏酸(HAP)、氢氧化钠提取的胡敏酸(HAS);富里酸(FA)分为焦磷酸钠提取的富里酸(FAP)和氢氧化钠提取的富里酸(FAS);胡敏素(HM)分为铁结合胡敏素(HMi)、粘粒结合胡敏素(HMc)和不溶性胡敏素(HMr)三个组分,采用红外光谱法对黑土、草甸土以及黑土底土加入大量玉米秸秆培养后腐殖质各组分的结构特征进行研究。腐殖质各组分按Pallo法分组。结果表明:铁结合胡敏素(HMi)、粘粒结合胡敏素(HMc)与胡敏酸(HA)、富里酸(FA)具有相似的光谱特征,但存在明显差异。黑土、草甸土中HMi和HMc的脂族性强于HA和FA;HMi与HMc相比,HMi具有较高的脂族性。黑土中氢氧化钠提取的胡敏酸(HAS)的脂族性强于焦磷酸钠提取的胡敏酸(HAP);NaOH提取的富里酸(FAS)的脂族性强于Na4P2O7提取的富里酸(FAP)。草甸土中HAP的脂族结构较多,而HAS脂族结构相对较少。在培养土中,新形成的FA脂族性强于HA、HMi和HMc组分。新形成的HMc脂族性强于HMi和HMc的脂族性强于HAP,而弱于HAS。     

Heat-resistant polymers from melt-processable bisimido-bisphthalonitriles

Heat-resistant polymers which are processable into void-free components and suitable for composite applications have been synthesized by thermal/chemical polymerization of four newly developed bisimido-bisphthalonitriles containing silicon, ether, carbonyl, and hexafluoroisopropylidene groups. Thermal polymerization involving addition reactions was performed at 200–275°C for 2–10 h and then post-curing at 310°C for 10 h. Polymers VI, VII, VIII , and IX were obtained. The thermal polymerization was monitored using infrared spectroscopy. Thermal polymerization was also carried out in the presence of an aromatic diamine. A polyhexasocyclane ( V ) was synthesized by condensation polymerization of ether containing bisimido-bisphthalonitrile with 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether in solvent phenol. The synthesized polymers were evaluated for thermal stability using dynamic thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Polymers VII, VIII, IX , and X showed thermal decomposition temperature in the range of 475–500°C in nitrogen and air atmosphere. The char yield of the polymers was in the range of 60–69% in nitrogen at 800°C. This study indicated that synthesized thermosetting polymers from ether and keto containing bisimido-bisphthalo-nitrile are potential candidates for development of graphite composites. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Simultaneous measurement of glucose and glutamine in aqueous solutions by near infrared spectroscopy

A method is described for measuring the concentrations of both glucose and glutamine in binary mixtures from near infrared (NIR) absorption spectra. Spectra are collected over the range from 5000–4000/cm (2.0–2.5μm) with a 1-mm optical path length. Glucose absorbance features at 4710, 4400, and 4300/cm and glutamine features at 4700, 4580, and 4390/cm provide the analytical information required for the measurement. Multivariate calibration models are generated by using partial least squares (PLS) regression alone and PLS regression combined with a preprocessing digital Fourier filtering step. The ideal number of PLS factors and spectral range are identified separately for each analyte. In addition, the optimum Fourier filter parameters are established for both compounds. The best overall analytical performance is obtained by combining Fourier filtering and PLS regression. Glucose measurements are established over the concentration range from 1.66–59.91 mM, with a standard error of prediction (SEP) of 0.32 mM and a mean percent error of 1.84%. Glutamine can be measured over the concentration range from 1.10–30.65 mM with a SEP of 0.75 mM and a mean percent error of 6.67%. These results demonstrate the analytical utility of NIR spectroscopy for monitoring glucose and glutamine levels in mammalian and insect cell cultures.     

Far infrared spectra of solid molecular nitrogen

This paper reports the observation of the far infrared absorption spectrum of a single crystal of N₂, measured over absorption paths of 4 cm (lengthwise) and 2 cm (across the crystal). The crystal chamber, with quartz windows, was immersed in a flow of cold helium gas. The spectrum from 20 to 120 cm^–1 was recorded in the liquid phase, the-phase, and over the full temperature range of the-phase (35.6–2.0 K) with a Fourier transform spectrometer. The spectral resolution, which was not instrument-limited, and the large path allowed the observation of more detailed multiphonon-transition structure in the spectrum of the-phase than has previously been observed.
