Role of the Bridge in Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Porphyrin–Fullerene Dyads

The role of π‐conjugated molecular bridges in through‐space and through‐bond electron transfer is studied by comparing two porphyrin–fullerene donor–acceptor (D–A) dyads. One dyad, ZnP–Ph–C₆₀ (ZnP=zinc porphyrin), incorporates a phenyl bridge between D and A and behaves very similarly to analogous dyads studied previously. The second dyad, ZnP–EDOTV–C₆₀, introduces an additional 3,4‐ethylenedioxythienylvinylene (EDOTV) unit into the conjugated bridge, which increases the distance between D and A, but, at the same time, provides increased electronic communication between them. Two essential outcomes that result from the introduction of the EDOTV unit in the bridge are as follows: 1) faster charge recombination, which indicates enhanced electronic coupling between the charge‐separated and ground electronic states; and 2) the disappearance of the intramolecular exciplex, which mediates photoinduced charge separation in the ZnP–Ph–C₆₀ dyad. The latter can be interpreted as a gradual decrease in electronic coupling between locally excited singlet states of D and A when introducing the EDOTV unit into the D–A bridge.

沙丘背风侧不同铁路结构形式对风沙环境的适应性分析

当铁路穿越大风沙漠地区时,风沙灾害会对铁路工程及其正常运营产生严重威胁,而设计一种合理的铁路结构形式能够减小风沙沉积对铁路工程的危害. 在本文中,以敦煌至格尔木铁路沙山沟段落为研究对象,采用多相流的方法对越过沙丘的风沙运动过程进行数值模拟,分别讨论了风沙运动对位于沙丘背风坡的铁路路基工程和桥梁工程的影响. 主要的模拟结果显示:路基工程明显降低了风速并且将沙丘后的回流区分成了两部分,而桥梁工程的导流效应则压缩了沙丘背风坡的回流区;轨道间的道碴增大了铁路表面的粗糙度,在轨道间有少量沙粒沉积,而路基工程两侧则有大量积沙;铁路表面的积沙量与摩阻风速呈现出非线性关系,随着摩阻风速的增大,路基工程沙粒沉积的增加速度大于风蚀能力的增加速度,而桥梁工程则正好相反. 在防止风沙危害铁路方面,设置桥梁工程明显优于路基工程. 本研究为风沙运动对铁路工程的影响提供了理论支持,也为今后的铁路工程设计提供了新的思路与研究工具.      

The Effect of Calcium-Silicate Cements on Reparative Dentinogenesis Following Direct Pulp Capping on Animal Models

Dental pulp vitality is a desideratum for preserving the health and functionality of the tooth. In certain clinical situations that lead to pulp exposure, bioactive agents are used in direct pulp-capping procedures to stimulate the dentin-pulp complex and activate reparative dentinogenesis. Hydraulic calcium-silicate cements, derived from Portland cement, can induce the formation of a new dentin bridge at the interface between the biomaterial and the dental pulp. Odontoblasts are molecularly activated, and, if necessary, undifferentiated stem cells in the dental pulp can differentiate into odontoblasts. An extensive review of literature was conducted on MedLine/PubMed database to evaluate the histological outcomes of direct pulp capping with hydraulic calcium-silicate cements performed on animal models. Overall, irrespective of their physico-chemical properties and the molecular mechanisms involved in pulp healing, the effects of cements on tertiary dentin formation and pulp vitality preservation were positive. Histological examinations showed different degrees of dental pulp inflammatory response and complete/incomplete dentin bridge formation during the pulp healing process at different follow-up periods. Calcium silicate materials have the ability to induce reparative dentinogenesis when applied over exposed pulps, with different behaviors, as related to the animal model used, pulpal inflammatory responses, and quality of dentin bridges.

桥连对嵌段共聚物自组装的调控

通过嵌段共聚物自组装形成“桥连”是制备具有优异力学性能的网络结构的有效途经, 具有重要的应用价值. 但是, 过去的研究工作很少讨论“桥连”对嵌段共聚物自组装行为本身的影响. 该研究评论主要总结了最近几年利用“桥连”对嵌段自组装行为进行调控的工作进展. 作者设计了BABCB三组分线性多嵌段共聚物, 当其自组装形成二元“介观晶体”(球、柱)结构时, 中间B嵌段连接A和C相区(嵌段聚集成的“大原子”), 自然地形成桥连; 减小中间桥连B嵌段的相对长度, 就可以增加其拉伸程度, 从而降低介观晶体的配位数; 另外, 两个末端B嵌段的相对长度可以直接调控A和C“大原子”之间的相对配位数. 基于这两个机理, 自洽场理论计算预测了各种配位数相等和不相等的二元介观晶体结构. 进一步, 将“拉伸桥连”概念拓展到AB型嵌段共聚物体系中, 并且通过多臂星型嵌段共聚物分子结构中的“组合构型熵效应”在AB型嵌段共聚物中形成高比率的桥连构型, 使传统的六角柱状结构转变为了四配位的四方柱状和三配位的石墨烯类柱状结构. 未来, 在ABC三组分嵌段共聚物体系的设计中引入拓扑结构以及使用共混等方法, 有望在介观尺度重铸大多数已知的原子/离子二元晶体结构, 甚至超越原子/离子晶体结构.     

供/吸电子基团共轭桥联的双BODIPY衍生物的合成及性能

设计合成了4种对称的以不同供/吸电子基团为共轭桥、两端连接meso位苯或噻吩取代的新型氟化硼二吡咯甲川(BODIPY)衍生物;通过1H NMR,13C NMR和MS等手段对其进行了结构表征;并采用紫外吸收光谱、荧光发射光谱及循环伏安(CV)等方法研究了其光电性能.紫外光谱数据表明,BODIPY结构具有明显的特征吸收,中间的桥联基团无论是强供电子的苯并二噻吩(BDT)还是强吸电子的苯并噻二唑(BT)均不能使整个分子产生明显的分子内电子迁移(ICT).另一方面,meso位的取代基可与BODIPY核产生微弱的ICT,且meso位噻吩取代的分子比meso位苯环取代的分子表现出更强的ICT.紫外光谱数据和电化学测试结果表明,meso位噻吩取代的分子比meso位苯环取代的分子具有更低的氧化电位和更窄的能隙.     

参数灵敏度分析的神经网络方法及其工程应用

在系统分析中，参数灵敏度分析不仅为判断各系统参数的重要性大小提供了依据，量化的灵敏度指标也是后续参数估计的前提。然而，在多效实际系统中，系统参数与系统状态间的显式函数关系不易得到，导致一阶灵敏度指标无法直接求取。简化的单因素分析方法亦存在模型粗糙、精度不高的缺点。本文研究采用人工神经网络的高精度泛化映射，通过少量样本的训练，建立复杂系统中多个系统参数与系统状态间的近似映射关系，继而推导得到统一的灵敏度计算列式。简单结构的神经网络方法和解析方法的对比计算显示了方法的有效性和可靠性。最后，应用该法对某斜拉桥结构的荷载参数和刚度参数进行了考查，得到一般性结论。     

An experimental study of flow-induced fiber orientation and concentration distributions in a concentrated suspension flow through a slit channel containing a cylinder

Flow-induced fiber orientation and concentration distributions were measured in a concentrated fiber suspension (CFS) and a dilute one (DFS). The channel has a thin slit geometry containing a circular cylinder. In the previous work, many researchers have qualitatively studied fiber orientation and concentration distributions in injection-molded products of fiber-reinforced plastics. In the present work, however, they are quantitatively estimated by direct observation of fibers in the concentrated suspension flow. For the CFS, some fibers rotate in an expansion part between the channel wall and the circular cylinder, and the fiber orientation becomes almost random state. On the other hand, fibers are perfectly aligned along the flow direction owing to the elongational flow near the centerline downstream of the cylinder. The fiber concentration has a flat distribution except near the channel wall and the centerline. For the DFS a minimum in the fiber concentration distribution was clearly observed on the centerline, and two peaks beside the centerline and near the channel wall. This characteristic distribution is caused by the fiber-wall and fiber-cylinder interactions. It is found that the obstacle such as the circular cylinder in the channel significantly affects the fiber orientation downstream of the obstacle for the CFD, while it affects the fiber concentration distribution for the DFS.     

Rheology of poly(methyl methacrylate-<Emphasis Type="Italic">co</Emphasis>-styrene) particles suspended in water: effects of electrostatic surface layer

 Linear and nonlinear viscoelastic properties were examined for aqueous suspensions of monodisperse poly(methyl methacrylate-co-styrene) (MS) particles having the radius a ₀ =45 nm and the volume fractions φ=0.428−0.448. These particles had surface charges and the resulting electrostatic surface layer (electric double layer) had a thickness of t_s=5.7 nm. At low frequencies in the linear viscoelastic regime, the MS particles behaved approximately as the Brownian hard particles having an effective radius a _eff=a ₀ + t_s, and the dependence of their zero-shear viscosity η₀ on an effective volume fraction φ_eff (={a _eff/a ₀}³φ) agreed with the φ dependence of η₀ of ideal hard-core silica suspensions. In a range of φ_eff < 0.63, this φ_eff dependence was well described by the Brady theory. However, the φ_eff dependence of the high-frequency plateau modulus was weaker and the terminal relaxation mode distribution was narrower for the MS suspensions than for the hard-core suspensions. This result suggested that the electrostatic surface layer of the MS particles was soft and penetrable (at high frequencies). In fact, this “softness” was more clearly observed in the nonlinear regime: the nonlinear damping against step strain was weaker and the thinning under steady shear was less significant for the MS suspension than for the hard-core silica suspensions having the same φ_eff. These weaker nonlinearities of the concentrated MS particles with φ_eff∼ 0.63 (maximum volume fraction for random packing) suggested that the surface layers of those particles were mutually penetrating to provide the particles with a rather large mobility.
