Size separation and size determination of liposomes

We developed a method for separating liposomes by size and determining their average diameters. Liposomes with different average diameters were separated on a monolithic silica capillary column, and the size of the liposomes corresponding to each peak was determined online with a dynamic light scattering detector coupled to the capillary liquid chromatography system. The calculated diameters for the separated liposomes were similar to the diameter values measured in batch mode. We demonstrate that this combination of a monolithic capillary column and light scattering detection could be used for size separation of liposomes and could provide more details about average diameters than batch-mode analysis.     

Thermal stability of carbon nanotubes

Heat capacities of the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with different sizes have been measured by modulated temperature differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) and reported for the first time. The results indicated the values of C _p increased with shortening length of CNTs when the diameters of CNTs were between 60 and 100 nm. However, the values of C _p of CNTs were not affected by their diameter when the lengths of CNTs were 1–2 um, or not affected by the length of CNTs when their diameters were below 10 nm. The thermal stabilities of the CNTs have been studied by TG-DTG-DSC. The results of TG-DTG showed that thermal stabilities of CNTs were enhanced with their diameters increase. With lengths increase, the thermal stabilities of CNTs increased when their diameters were between 60 and 100 nm, but there is a slight decrease when their diameters were less than 60 nm. The further DSC analyses showed both released heat and T _onset increased with the increase of CNTs diameters, which confirms the consistency of the results from both TG-DTG and DSC on CNTs thermal stability.     

Thickness recognition of bolaamphiphiles by alpha-cyclodextrin

The minimum internal diameters of alpha-, beta-, and gamma-cyclodextrin were calculated by a space filling algorithm, MolShape, from the electron density maps created by semiempirical AM1 and PM3 calculations using Gaussian03. In addition, the minimum diameters of a series of dicationic bolaamphiphiles were calculated by MolShape as well. The calculated diameters of these hosts and guests allowed prognosis about the stabilities of the corresponding inclusion compounds. The experimental binding data, obtained by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), revealed indeed a very pronounced thickness recognition and correlate well with the calculated diameters.

The products were characterized with XRD, TEM, and SEM.     

Emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization of styrene and sodium 1-allyloxy- 2-hydroxypropane sulfonate

Colloidal particles of poly(styrene-co-sodium 1-allyloxy- 2-hydroxypropane sulfonate) with diameters of 508 ∼ 596 nm were synthesized by emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization, crosslinked with divinylbenzene, and initiated by potassium persulfate/sodium bisulfite in a mixed solvent of water and acetone. The diameters of the submicrometer-sized particles were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface charge densities of the particles were determined by condutometric titration. The results showed that the highly surface charged monodispersed submicrometer-sized particles were obtained by two-stage shot growth polymerization. The particle diameters could be reduced and controlled by adding suitable amount of acetone.     

Nanotubes from isomeric dibenzoylmethane molecules

Organic nanotubes of various diameters were fabricated from the isomeric molecule dibenzoylmethane (DBM) by using an immersing technique with ordered porous alumina membrane as the template. The ratio of the enol isomers of DBM increased as the diameters of the nanotubes decreased. In addition, although almost no fluorescence could be detected for the DBM monomer, a striking enhancement in the fluorescence emission intensity of the nanotubes was observed as the diameters decreased. This is due to the increased ratio of the enol isomers.

Controlled growth of well-aligned carbon nanotubes with large diameters

Well-aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with large diameters (25–200 nm) were synthesized by pyrolysis of iron(II) phthalocyanine. The outer diameter up to 218.5 nm and the length of the well-aligned CNTs can be systematically controlled by varying the growth time. A tube-in-tube nano-structure with large and small diameters of 176 and 16.7 nm, respectively, was found. The grain sizes of the iron catalyst play an important role in controlling the CNT diameters. These results are of great importance to design new aligned CNT-based electron field emitters in the potential application of panel displays.     

Sensing behaviors of polypyrrole nanotubes prepared in reverse microemulsions: effects of transducer size and transduction mechanism

Polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubes with different diameters were readily fabricated using cylindrical micelle templates in sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) reverse microemulsions. Interestingly, Raman spectroscopy and ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectroscopy revealed that the PPy nanotubes with smaller diameters had a more extended conjugation length as well as a higher oxidation level. The PPy nanotubes were deposited onto a microelectrode array and were exposed to chemical vapor and electromagnetic radiation: typically, NH(3) vapor and UV light were chosen. The electrical response of PPy nanotubes to two different kinds of analytes was strongly dependent on their diameters. Moreover, since the small dimensions of PPy nanotubes facilitated the interaction between nanotubes and analytes, the PPy nanotube sensors showed conspicuously enhanced responses compared with conventional PPy.     

Application of the GV-MSA model to the electrolyte solutions containing mixed salts and mixed solvents

In this work the Ghotbi–Vera mean spherical approximation (GV-MSA) model, coupled with two different expressions for the cation-hydrated diameters, was used in predicting the mean ionic activity coefficients (MIAC) of electrolytes for a number of the mixed-solvent and mixed-salt electrolyte solutions at 25 °C. In all cases the cation diameters in solutions changed with concentration of electrolyte while the anion diameters were considered to be constant and equal to the corresponding Pauling diameters. In application of the GV-MSA model to the electrolyte systems, two different expressions were used for concentration dependency of cation-hydrated diameters, i.e., the GV-MSA1 and GV-MSA2 models. In case of the electrolyte solutions containing the mixed-solvent of water and alcohol, the dielectric constants of the mixed solvents were obtained by simple regression of polynomial equations in terms of weight fraction of alcohol to the pertinent experimental data available in the literature. For the mixed-salt and mixed-solvent electrolyte solutions, in order to directly calculate the MIAC of electrolytes without introducing any new adjustable parameter, the values obtained in this work for the cation-hydrated diameters in the single aqueous electrolyte solutions were used. The results obtained in this work showed that the GV-MSA2 could more accurately correlate the MIAC of electrolytes in the single aqueous electrolyte solutions in comparison to those of the GV-MSA1 and Pitzer models. Also, the results showed that the GV-MSA-based models could accurately predict the MIAC of electrolytes in the mixed-solvent electrolyte solutions in comparison to those obtained from the model of Pitzer. In case of the mixed-salt electrolyte solutions the results of the two GV-MSA-based models studied in this work reasonably predict the MIAC of electrolytes in the mixed-salt electrolyte solutions without introducing any additional adjustable parameters compared to those obtained from the model of Pitzer with two adjustable parameters.

Accuracy of electrospun fiber diameters: The importance of sampling and person-to-person variation

Potential sampling errors (regional variation) on an electrospun mat were explored and person-to-person (analyst affect) variation in image analysis of the fiber diameter were investigated via detailed statistical analyses. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) samples were prepared from the vertical midline of a single non-woven mat of electrospun polyethylene oxide. Thirteen analysts with identical training and instructions measured the diameters of the nanofibers from the six SEM images and statistical analyses were performed on the resulting data. The fiber diameters were significantly different in the lower region than the upper and center regions. Furthermore, the fiber diameters in the lower region—from micrographs taken only millimeters apart—were statistically different demonstrating a statistically significant regional variation in the sample. Furthermore, statistically significant variation between the analysts also was observed, with the average fiber diameter ranging from 166 nm to 276 nm.

Size distribution analysis of single and bi-component polymer and inorganic particle systems by comparison of two analysis methods in analytical ultracentrifuge

Sedimentation velocity runs were performed on organic and inorganic particles with analytical ultracentrifugation and the diameter and diameter distribution analysis was carried out with Sedfit and VelXLAI data analysis programs. The particles were measured either as pure components or as mixtures of different organic or inorganic particles using different weight ratios of these components. Polymer particles with peak diameters of ≈15 and 32-35 nm and inorganic particles with peak diameters of ≈5 and ≈32 nm were used and the particles also differed in the extent of polydispersity. The mixtures of particles in the weight ratios of 50:50, 90:10 and 95:5 of smaller to larger particles or vice versa were studied. The aim was to compare the performance of the analysis programs to characterize the various polymer and inorganic particle samples of varying complexity. The analysis programs were compared with each other not only for peak particle diameters and their size distributions, but also for the cumulative fractions of components of the particle mixtures.

Preparation of mesoporous silica nanoparticle with tunable pore diameters for encapsulating and slowly releasing eugenol

Fragrances are frequently added to a variety of products, including food, cosmetics and health products. However, the high volatility and instability of essence limit its application in some fields. In this study, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were prepared to encapsulate eugenol, which could reduce the volatilization of the fragrance molecules. A facile approach was presented to synthesize MSNs with three different pore diameters for encapsulating eugenol. In addition, the properties of MSNs including mean particle size, morphology, encapsulating efficiency and release tendency were characterized. Results showed that the larger the pore diameters of MSNs, the more aromatic molecules were adsorbed. Furthermore, the release mechanism was described as the smaller the pore diameters of MSNs, the slower the release of eugenol.
