Surfactant self-assembly structures and multilayer formation at the solid-solution interface induces by electrolyte,polymers and proteins

Recent developments in the study of the formation of self-assembled surfactant structures and multilayers at the solid-solution interface are presented. It covers a wide range of phenomena, but in this review the main focus is on the surface structures formed from dilute solution in the presence of electrolyte and in more concentrated solutions. Their formation under those conditions are set in the wider context of the more extensive observations of their occurrence in more complex polymer-surfactant mixtures. Although the sequential adsorption methods using layer-by-layer approaches are more well established for polyelectrolytes and their associated mixtures, the main emphasis is on the self-assembly. The opportunities to manipulate wetting properties and to generate enhanced wetting characteristics are discussed. The potential applications, modifying wetting behaviour, efficient near surface reservoir for enhanced and prolonged delivery of active components, and for the development of a range of smart functionalised surfaces are highlighted.

基于抛光基材的热蒸镀铜箔生长高平整单层石墨烯薄膜

在石墨烯的化学气相沉积工艺中,铜箔是决定石墨烯薄膜质量的重要因素。传统铜箔由于制备工艺的限制,存在大量的缺陷,导致石墨烯薄膜的成核密度较高。本工作选用抛光铝板、抛光不锈钢板、微晶玻璃和SiO₂/Si作为基材,用热蒸镀法制备了不同粗糙度的铜箔,并详细讨论了以该系列铜箔生长高平整度石墨烯薄膜的条件及铜箔对石墨烯薄膜品质的影响。实验结果表明,铜箔以(111)取向为主,与基材分离后,表面具有纳米级平整度。在生长石墨烯后,从SiO₂/Si剥离的铜箔成核密度是4种基材中最小的。同时,从SiO₂/Si剥离的铜箔晶体结构变化最不明显,具有良好的结晶性,表面几乎不存在铜晶界缺陷。当压强为3 000 Pa,氢气和甲烷流速分别为300 mL/min和0.5 mL/min时,可以获得约1 mm横向尺寸的石墨烯单晶晶畴。     

An efficient approach to isoquinoline via AgNO3-promoted 6-endo-dig cyclization followed by oxidative elimination of o-alkynylarylaldimines and its application in fluoride recognition

A novel 6-endo-dig cyclization followed by oxidation/elimination of o-alkynylarylaldimines with 4-hydroxybenzylamine was developed for preparation of isoquinolines. The intermediates of this tandem reaction were monitored by mass spectroscopy (MS) to confirm the reaction pathway. This methodology was further applied to the design and synthesis of a novel ratiometric chemosensor for determination of fluoride.     

3D Starfish-Like FeOF on Graphene Sheets: Engineered Synthesis and Lithium Storage Performance

To address the problems associated with poor conductivity and large volume variation in practical applications as a conversion cathode, engineering of hierarchical nanostructured FeOF coupled with conductive decoration is highly desired, yet rarely reported. Herein, 3D starfish-like FeOF on reduced graphene oxide sheets (FeOF/rGO) is successfully prepared, for the first time, through a combination of solvothermal reaction, self-assembly, and thermal reduction. Integrating the structural features of the 3D hierarchical nanostructure, which favorably shorten the path for electron/ion transport and alleviate volumetric changes, with those of graphene wrapping, which can further enhance the electrical conductivity and maintain the structural stability of the electrode, the as-prepared FeOF/rGO composite exhibits a superior lithium-storage performance, including a high reversible capacity (424.5 mA h⁻¹ g⁻¹ at 50 mA g⁻¹), excellent stability (0.016 % capacity decay per cycle during 180 cycles), and remarkable rate capability (275.8 mA h⁻¹ g⁻¹ at 2000 mA g⁻¹).

Synthesis,anticancer activity,toxicity evaluation and molecular docking studies of novel phenylaminopyrimidine—(thio)urea hybrids as potential kinase inhibitors

Thirty-two novel urea/thiourea compounds as potential kinase inhibitor were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity on breast (MCF7), colon (HCT116) and liver (Huh7) cancer cell lines. Compounds 10, 19 and 30 possessing anticancer activity with IC₅₀ values of 0.9, 0.8 and 1.6 μM respectively on Huh7 cells were selected for further studies. These hit compounds were tested against liver carcinoma panel. Real time cell electronic sensing assay was used to evaluate the effects of the compounds 10, 19 and 30 on the growth pattern of liver cancer cells. Apoptotic cell death and cell cycle analysis upon treatment of liver carcinoma cells with hit compounds were determined. A significant apoptotic cell death was detected upon treatment of Huh7 and Mahlavu cells with compound 30 after 48 h of treatment. Additionally, compound 10 caused cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase. Mutagenicity of hit compounds was evaluated. Assertively, these compounds were not found to be mutagenic on Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. To understand the binding modes of the synthesized compounds, molecular docking studies were performed using the crystal data of VEGFR and Src-kinase enzymes in correlation with anticancer activities.
