Resolving Discrepancy between Theoretical and Experimental Optical Trapping Forces Using Effects of Beam Waist and Trapping Position Displacement due to Gravity

Optical trapping forces of polystyrene microspheres are analyzed both theoretically and experimentally, and comparisons are made between the two. Discrepancies are mainly caused by straight-ray approximation for axial trapping, and by trapping-position vertical displacement due to gravity for transverse trapping.     

Microwave absorption properties of composite powders with low density

The composites of barium ferrite coated on hollow ceramic microspheres were prepared using sol-gel technique. The crystal structure, morphology and microwave absorption properties of composite powders with different weight ratio of microspheres were studied with XRD, EDS, FESEM and vector network analyzer. The results show that the microwave absorption properties of composite powders are greatly improved. The maximum microwave loss of composite powders reaches 31 dB with an amount of 50 wt.% microspheres, and its density is only about 1.80 g/cm³. The effect of hollow ceramic microspheres on the microwave absorption property is also discussed.     

海藻酸钠/大豆蛋白共混凝胶微球的结构

利用钙离子交联海藻酸钠／大豆分离蛋白共混溶液，制得海藻酸钠／大豆分离蛋共混凝胶微球．结果表明，海藻酸钠和大豆分离蛋白质量配比的不同以及各组分间相互作用的变化，微球呈现不同的微观结构．将微球干燥后置于水中溶胀，微球的尺寸无法回复到干燥前的尺寸，这是由于真空干燥处理使水分子挥发，促进微球内组分间形成了强的氢键作用所致．此外，用碱处理该共混微球，发现由于大豆分离蛋白溶解以及部分钙离子被置换析出，微球塌陷且内部形成了大孔．     

Metal complexation of crosslinked polyacrylamide-supported dithiocarbamates: Effect of the molecular character and extent of crosslinking on complexation

Dithiocarbamate functions were incorporated into different polyacrylamide matrices crosslinked with a flexible and hydrophilic crosslinking agent, tetraethyleneglycol diacrylate (TEGDA), and their complexation behaviours were investigated. Crosslinked polyacrylamides with varying extents of the tetrafunctional TEGDA crosslinks were prepared by free radical solution polymerization at 60°C using potassium persulphate as initiator in ethanol. The dithiocarbamate functionality was incorporated into these polyacrylamides by a two-step polymer-analogous reaction involving (i)trans-amidation with ethylenediamine and (ii) dithiocarbamylation of the aminopolyacrylamide with carbon disulphide and alkali. The complexations of dithiocarbamate with Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II) and Hg(II) ions were followed under different conditions. The metal ion intake varied with the extent of the crosslinking agent and the observed trend in complexation is Hg(II) > Cu(II)> Zn(II)> Co(II)> Ni (II). The time-course of complexation, the possibility of recycling, swelling characteristics, and spectral and thermal analyses were carried out. The thermal stability increases upon complexation with metal ions.

Interactions between temperature-sensitive hydrogel microspheres and granulocytes

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) has a low critical solution temperature (LCST) at 32°C in water and the hydrophilicity changes through the LCST. The microspheres whose surface was composed of PNIPAM exhibited phase transition behavior around 32°C. Therefore, the interactions between PNIPAM micropheres and granulocytes depended on the temperature. That is, the oxygen consumption and active oxygen production by cells in contact with PNIPAM-containing microspheres and adhesion of the microspheres to the cell surface were more enhanced above the LCST of PNIPAM than below it, whereas no significant temperature dependence of cell–microspheres interaction was observed in nonthermosensitive microsphere systems. It was suggested that the function of cells could be controlled with temperature using the temperature-sensitive microspheres.     

微波聚合制备单分散、超细聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯微球

在微波辐照下,通过甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)的无乳化剂乳液聚合,制备出粒径单分散、超细聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)微球。微波显著缩短聚合诱导期,加快聚合反应,其部分原因是微波加快引发剂过硫酸钾(KPS)的分解。实验证明微波辐照下KPS的表观分解活化能(ED)由128.3kJ/mol降低到106.0kJ/mol。单体浓度是影响PMMA乳液粒子尺寸的主要因素,在[MMA]小于0.3mol/L时,平均粒径随单体浓度提高而线形增加;[MMA]为0.3～1.0mol/L时,平均粒径稳定在约200nm;之后随单体浓度进一步增加,乳液稳定性变差。引发剂浓度增加对平均粒径影响较小,但增大引发剂浓度可显著降低粒径分散度。选取[MMA]为0.23～0.3mol/L、[KPS]为3×10-3～6×10-3mol/L可以得到粒径200nm的单分散微球。以丙酮/水(体积比1/3)为反应介质,可制备出数均粒径45nm的PMMA纳米粒子。在体系中加入3.5×10-3mol/L的Cu2+,可制备出数均粒径67nm、单分散的PMMA纳米粒子。     

Synthesis and crosslinking of cyano-substituted polyamides and polyimides prepared from 1-(2,2-dicyano-1-hydroxyviyl)-3,5-diaminobenzene,sodium salt

3,5-Dinitrobenzoyl chloide was condensed with malononitrile in the presence of sodium hydroxide under phase-transfer conditions to afford 1-(2,2-dicyano-1-hydroxyvinyl)-3,5-dinitrobenzene, sodium salt, which was catalytically hydrogenated to the corresponding diamine. The latter was used as starting material for the preparation of unsaturated cyanosubstituted polyamides and polyimides. The polymers were soluble in polar aprotic solvents, dilute sodium hydroxide, and certain strong inorganic and organic acids. Upon curing at 300°C for 65 h, crosslinked polymers were obtained that were stable up to 392–404°C in N₂ or air and afforded an anaerobic char yield of 60–71% at 800°C. Their glass transition temperatures as determined by thermal mechanical analysis (TMA) were 221–275°C. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Fluorinated monomer–styrene copolymer latex particles: I. kinetic studies in a soap-free aqueous medium

Soap-free emulsion copolymerization of 2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl acrylate (3FEA) with styrene was carried out by using potassium persulfate as an initiator, and the effects of the weight fraction of 3FEA in the monomer feed on the kinetics and the particle size were investigated. Monomer conversions were followed by a gravimetric method, revealing that the overall polymerization rate increased exponentially with an increase in the weight fraction of 3FEA. According to dynamic light scattering measurement, the final particle size was found to decrease with an increase in the weight fraction of 3FEA. The number of particles for 3FEA homopolymerization was roughly twice as large as that at the fraction of 0.9, although both fractions had the almost same polymerization rates. These results indicate that soap-free emulsion homopolymerization of 3FEA would proceed not only inside the polymer particles but also in the aqueous phase throughout the polymerization.
