水分子凝聚体系的介孔结构分形学

透射电镜研究表明，4,40-双硬脂酰胺基二苯醚在水中聚集、自组装成缠绕细纤维状聚集体，进而使整个体系形成三维网络结构．水分子被包囊在这个网络结构中，形成一种新型的凝聚体系(水分子凝胶)．水分子凝胶是一种典型的纳米介孔物质，其复杂的微孔结构可以用分形维数D来表征，通过气体吸附方法(孔度法和比表面积法)计算，求得水分子凝胶体系的微孔结构的分形维数为2.1?2.2．对于纤维状三维网络结构的分形表征，通过粘度法和Cayley分形树模型得出分形维数为1.98．由此推测其分形网络形成的过程是一个初始成核-生长-枝化的循环过程．

Fractal Study of Mesoporous Structure in Water Molecular Condensed System

Bis-(4-stearoylaminophenyl) ether (BSADE) can aggregate and self-assemble in water. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that the morphology of BSADE aggregates in water was entanglement and thin fiber-like, and that a three dimensional network structure was formed. Water molecules were entrapped in this three dimensional network structure and formed a new type of condensed system (so-called water molecular gel). Water molecular gel is a typical mesoporous material which can be characterized by the fractal dimension D. Using gas adsorption method along with measurement of porosity and specific surface area, the fractal dimension D of the complicated pores was 2.1-2.2 for this water molecular gel. Using viscosity method and the Cayley fractal tree, the fractal dimension D of the fiber-like three dimensional network was determined to be 1.98. The formation process of water molecular gel can be described as nucleation followed by a repeated growing and branching cycle.
