中空介孔SiO2纳米球的制备、改性及其对Al3+荧光识别研究

中空介孔SiO2由于中空多孔的结构而常用作功能材料的基底.将中空介孔SiO2进行官能团修饰,并应用为荧光传感材料是中空介孔SiO2一个重要的研究领域.本论文采用聚丙烯酸(PAA)为中空模板,聚醚F127为造孔剂,正硅酸乙酯(TEOS)为硅源,氨水为催化剂在乙醇体系中制备了中空介孔SiO2纳米球.系统研究了搅拌速度和聚醚F127引入量对中空介孔SiO2纳米球形貌及比表面积的影响.通过透射电镜、N2-等温吸附脱附曲线等表征说明该合成方法具有很好的普适性,通过调节F127的引入可以实现对比表面积的有效控制.通过氨基化、席夫碱反应进行荧光修饰,进一步研究表明荧光修饰后的中空介孔SiO2纳米球在水溶液中能够实现对Al3+的有效检测,检测限为1.19×10 -7M.     

Mesoscopic Modeling of Capillarity-Induced Two-Phase Transport in a Microfluidic Porous Structure

Mesoscopic modeling at the pore scale offers great promise in exploring the underlying structure transport performance of flow through porous media. The present work studies the fluid flow subjected to capillarity-induced resonance in porous media characterized by different porous structure and wettability. The effects of porosity and wettability on the displacement behavior of the fluid flow through porous media are discussed. The results are presented in the form of temporal evolution of percentage saturation and displacement of the fluid front through porous media. The present study reveals that the vibration in the form of acoustic excitation could be significant in the mobilization of fluid through the porous media. The dependence of displacement of the fluid on physicochemical parameters like wettability of the surface, frequency along with the porosity is analyzed. It was observed that the mean displacement of the fluid is more in the case of invading fluid with wetting phase where the driving force strength is not so dominant.     

Three-term polynomial progressions in subsets of finite fields

We prove that the group of diffeomorphisms of the interval [0, 1] contains surface groups whose action on (0, 1) has no global fix point and such that only countably many points of the interval (0, 1) have non-trivial stabiliser.     

Synthesis of Small‐Sized,Porous, and Low‐Toxic Magnetite Nanoparticles by Thin POSS Silica Coating

In this communication, we report the synthesis of small‐sized (<10 nm), water‐soluble, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) coated with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS), which contain either polyethylene glycol (PEG) or octa(tetramethylammonium) (OctaTMA) as functional groups. The POSS‐coated MNPs exhibit superparamagnetic behavior with saturation magnetic moments (51–53 emu g^?1) comparable to silica‐coated MNPs. They also provide good colloidal stability at different pH and salt concentrations, and low cytotoxicity to MCF‐7 human breast epithelial cells. The relaxivity data and magnetic resonance (MR) phantom images demonstrate the potential application of these MNPs in bioimaging.
