交联聚苯乙烯型多孔吸附剂的中孔性质研究

采用77K温度下的氮气吸附方法,测定了经悬浮聚合制备的不同交联度的交联聚苯乙烯多孔吸附剂的吸附/脱附等温线.根据BET吸附模型计算了比表面,由吸附量计算了总的孔体积,由孔体积和比表面计算出平均孔径,并依据脱附等温线采用BJH方法计算孔径分布.结果表明,交联度对交联聚苯乙烯多孔吸附剂的孔结构均具有显著影响.随着交联聚苯乙烯多孔吸附剂的交联度升高,其孔径变小,比表面增大,而且低交联度吸附剂的中孔接近圆柱形,高交联吸附剂的中孔形状接近“墨水瓶”形.显然,交联度对孔性质的影响与孔结构在交联聚苯乙烯多孔吸附剂制备和后处理过程中的稳定性密切相关.交联度低时,初期形成的小孔不能保持稳定,在后续聚合及后处理过程中合并为大孔,结果造成低交联吸附剂大孔径、低比表面的现象.通过对孔径分布的研究,揭示了不同吸附剂在中孔范围内的孔特征,并对其形成机制进行了分析.

氯乙基亚硝基脲(CENUs)是重要的临床抗癌药物,其抗癌作用机制与导致DNA股间交联密切相关。使用荧光光谱法对其导致的DNA股间交联进行定量分析。结果表明,交联率随着反应时间的延长逐渐增加,司莫司汀(Me-CCNU)和卡莫司汀(BCNU)的交联率分别约在8 h和5 h达到最大值,且药物浓度越大,交联率增加越快。比较了Me-CCNU和BCNU对DNA交联作用的反应动力学,发现分解较慢的Me-CCNU与DNA的交联过程中存在一段明显的"诱导期";而分解较快的BCNU与DNA的交联反应则不存在"诱导期",且BCNU浓度过高或反应时间过长均会使交联率下降。该文为阐明CENUs导致DNA交联的反应动力学和反应机理提供了依据。     

Formation of free radicals in photoirradiated cellulose. VII. Radical decay

The ESR spectra of untreated and photosensitized celluloses irradiated with three different ultraviolet light sources, i.e., λ > 2537 Å, λ > 2800 Å, λ > 3400 Å, at 77°K under vacuum were studied. Based on the warm-up process, that is, warming the sample from 77°K to 273°K for a certain time and recorded at 77°K, the decay behavior of free radicals of celluloses was examined for changes of the pattern and the intensities of ESR spectra. For the untreated samples irradiated with light of λ > 2537 Å and λ > 2800 Å, beside the two doublet spectra originating from hydrogen atoms (508 gauss splitting) and formyl radicals (129 gauss splitting), the observed sevenline spectrum was resolved to be a superposition of a singlet (ΔH_msl = 16 gauss), a doublet (24 gauss splitting), a triplet (34 gauss splitting), and a quartet (overall width, 88 gauss) spectrum. For the photosensitized samples irradiated with light of λ > 3400 Å, the 1:1:1 three-line spectrum was resolved to be a superposition of a singlet (ΔH_msl = 27 gauss), a doublet (43 gauss splitting), and a triplet (34 gauss splitting) spectrum. The five-line spectra of the photosensitized samples irradiated with light of λ > 2537 Å and λ > 2800 Å were resolved to be a superposition of a singlet (ΔH_msl = 27 gauss), a doublet (43 gauss splitting), and a triplet (34 gauss splitting) spectrum. Based on these findings, the conclusion was drawn that at least six kinds of spectra, generated from six kinds of radical species, were formed in cellulose irradiated with ultraviolet light under appropriate experimental conditions.     

ESR study on free radicals trapped in crosslinked polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

Free radicals in crosslinked PTFE which formed by ⁶⁰Co γ-rays irradiaion at 77 K and at room temperature were studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The crosslinked PTFE specimens with different crosslinking density were prepared by electron beam irradiation in the molten state. The ESR spectra observed in the irradiated crosslinked PTFE are much different from those in non-crosslinked PTFE (virgin); a broad singlet component increases with increasing the crosslinking density, G-value of radicals is much higher in crosslinked PTFE than in non-crosslinked one. Free radicals related to the broad component are trapped in the non-crystalline region of crosslinked PTFE and rather stable at room temperature, whereas radicals trapped in amorphous non-crosslinked PTFE are unstable at room temperature. It is thought that most of free radicals trapped in the crosslinked PTFE are formed in the crosslinked amorphous region. The trapped radicals decays around 383 K (110°C) due to the molecular motion of -relaxation.     

Electron spin resonance and kinetic study of the photolysis of p-Flouranil (tetrafluoro-p-benzoquinone) in dioxane

The photochemistry of p-fluoranil in dioxane was studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) and the ESR-rotating sector technique. The transient photoradical is identified as the p-tetrafluorobenzosemiquinone neutral radical with a hyperfine splitting of 1.1 gauss for the hydroxy proton and the fluorine hyperfine splittings of 3.8 and 14.1 gauss for the meta and ortho fluorines, respectively. The radicals decayed by self-disproportionation with a second-order rate constant at room temperature of approximately 3.2 × 10⁹M^?1s^?1. The activation energy of the decay process is found to be about 2.4 ± 0.4 kcal/mole.     

Change with temperature of the ESR spectra of peroxy radicals trapped in irradiated polytetrafluoroethylene

The ESR spectra of peroxy radicals in irradiated powders and oriented samples of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTEE) have been measured with a K-band spectrometer, and the principal values and directions of the g tensor were determined both at room temperature and at 77°K. In contrast to the spectra of the usual peroxy radicals, those trapped in γ-irradiated PTFE exhibited an ESR spectrum apparently having a larger principal value for g⊥ than for g∥ when measured at room temperature, although the normal principal values were observed at 77°K. As for the directions of the principal axes, g∥ was directed along the chain axis at room temperature and was perpendicular to the chain axis at 77°K. From the temperature change of the g tensor and the line shapes in the oriented samples, it is shown that the observed temperature change of the spectra is due to rapid rotation at room temperature around the chain axis rather than around the C? O bond axis. Assuming this, the apparent principal values of the g tensor at room temperature were calculated from the g tensor obtained at 77°K. for the rigid state, and the results are in good agreement with observations at room temperature. A structure for the peroxy radicals is also proposed. In addition, the spectral line shape function for the uniaxially oriented samples has been derived.     

Generation of N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone radical adducts in iron breakdown of tert-butyl-hydroperoxide

ESR spectroscopy coupled to the spin trapping technique was used to evaluate the generation of radical species arising from the ferrous ion induced decomposition of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (’BuOOH) in methylene chloride. We report here that N-tert-butyl-α-phenylinitrone (PBN) can trap peroxyl radicals generated in the ferrous ion induced breakdown of high concentration of ’BuOOH (IM) at room temperature, the radical adduct being stable under the light. The peroxyl radical formation was demonstrated by direct ESR measurements at 77K. In contrast, alkoxyl and methyl radicals were trapped only in the presence of low hydroperoxide concentration (ImM). In order to measure the hyperfine splitting constants (hfsc) of the PBN-methyl adduct spectra were obtained in the presence of diphenylamine (DPA) or 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), which quenched the alkoxyl radical. For this latter radical, the hfsc were calculated by computer simulation. A mechanism for a direct interaction between DPA and the alkoxyl radical is presented. DPA quenched the peroxyl radical in the reaction of high hydroperoxide concentrations, with the concomitant generation of a DPA nitrogen-based radical.     

ESR study of radiation damage in TPX polymer (poly-4-methylpentene-1)

Electron spin resonance spectroscopy has been used to study the effects of 15 MeV electrons, x-rays, and ultraviolet radiation on poly-4-methylpentene-1 (TPX) both at 77°K and at room temperature. At least seven identifiably different paramagnetic species are observable in unstabilized oxygen-free TPX after irradiation, and additional species exist in the stabilized grades. The species which predominates under most conditions is interpreted as being due to the loss of hydrogen from a main-chain tertiary carbon atom; interpretations of most of the other species are also given. Oxygen is found to diffuse rapidly into the polymer and to react with the free radicals to form peroxy species. In the absence of oxygen the radiation damage is expected to lead ultimately to crosslinking or double-bond formation, or with oxygen to degradation. The general nature of the free radicals produced by electron or x-ray irradiation is the same, but there are significant differences for ultraviolet irradiation. The observed spectra for irradiated TPX and their interpretations are in good agreement with the spectra and later interpretations for irradiated polypropylene, but are in less satisfactory agreement with the published papers on polybutene-1 and poly-3-methylbutene-1.     

Radical kinetics and characterization of the free radicals in gamma irradiated red pepper

Kinetic behaviors and characterization of the natural and γ-induced radicals in irradiated red pepper have been investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to explore the possibility of using this technique in detecting irradiated red pepper and to evaluate the eventual dosimetric features of this widely used food. Unirradiated samples exhibited a single resonance line centered at g=2.0050±0.0005. Photo-exposure of the samples was found to increase the signal intensity. An increase in temperature created a drastic decrease in the concentration of natural radicals responsible for the single resonance line. Irradiation was observed to induce increases in the intensity of single resonance line (signal I) and a radiation specific doublet and/or triplet (signal II) also centered at g=2.0050 but detectable only at high spectrometer gains. The intensities of both signals increased with increasing radiation dose. The signals I and II were found to decay with different rates depending on the temperature. The results of a fitting procedure applied to the experimental signal decay curves and those obtained from room temperature spectra simulation calculations were used together to determine radical species and their spectral characteristics giving rise to the observed experimental spectra. Four radical species, three carbohydrate and one semiquinone radical assigned as radicals A, B, C and D, respectively, were found to best explain the experimental results. All the radicals show large g and hyperfine splitting anisotropies varying between g=2.0028–2.0062 and 1.07–2.58 mT, respectively. The half lives of the radicals were found to depend strongly on temperature. The activation energy calculated using temperature dependent half-life data were the highest for radical A (33.68 kcal/mol) and smallest for radical C (11.83 kcal/mol).     

ESR STUDIES OF THE LOW TEMPERATURE IRRADIATION OF KERATIN AND ITS COMPONENT AMINO ACIDS

Abstract— The photoejection of electrons from the aromatic amino acids at 77°K by 290–340 nm radiation was found to involve both monophotonic and biphotonic processes. However, only monophotonic processes are involved when electrons are photoejected from cystine or cysteine. These electrons prefer to attach themselves to adjacent sulphur groups rather than the dielectric traps in the matrix, so that both anionic and cationic radicals are formed.
In keratin at 77°K, the disulphide anion radicals are produced by both monophotonic and biphotonic mechanisms, indicating that the electrons captured by the disulphides are photo-ejected from the aromatic amino acids. At room temperature the thiyl and aromatic radicals are produced only by monophotonic reactions.     

Single crystals of L-O-serine phosphate X-irradiated at low temperatures: EPR, ENDOR, EIE, and DFT studies

Single crystals of the phosphorylated amino acid L-O-serine phosphate were X-irradiated and studied at 10 K and at 77 K using EPR, ENDOR, and EIE techniques. Two radicals, R1(10 K) and R1(77 K), were detected and characterized as two different geometrical conformations of the protonated reduction product >CH-C(OH)(2). R1(10 K) is only observed after irradiation at 10 K, and upon heating to 40 K, R1(10 K) transforms rapidly and irreversibly into R1(77 K). The transition from R1(10 K) to R1(77 K) strongly increases the isotropic hyperfine coupling of the C-CH(beta) coupling (Delta = 32 MHz) and the major C-OH(beta) coupling (Delta = 47 MHz), in sharp contrast to the their much reduced anisotropic hyperfine couplings after the transition. An umbrella-like inversion of the carboxylic acid center, accompanied by minor geometrical adjustments, explains the changes of these observed isotropic and anisotropic couplings. DFT calculations were done on the reduced and protonated L-O-serine phosphate radical at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2df,p)//B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level of theory in order to support the experimental observations. Two different conformations of the anion radical, related by an inversion at the carboxylic center, could be found within the single molecule partial energy-optimization scheme. These two conformations reproduce the experimental hyperfine couplings from radicals R1(10 K) and R1(77 K). A third radical, radical R2, was observed experimentally at both 10 and 77 K and was shown to be due to the decarboxylated L-O-serine phosphate oxidation product, a conclusion fully supported from the DFT calculations. Upon thermal annealing from 77 to 295 K, radicals R1(77 K) and R2 disappeared and all three previously observed room-temperature radicals could be observed. No phosphate-centered radicals could be observed at any temperatures, indicating that the phosphate-ester bond break for one of the room-temperature radicals does not occur by dissociative electron capture at the phosphate group.     

Thermal and mechanical properties of radiation crosslinked poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-perfluoromethyl vinyl ether)

The effect of irradiation temperature on the polymer properties was investigated for the fluoroelastomer poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-perfluoromethylvinyl ether) (TFE/PMVE). TFE/PMVE samples were γ-irradiated to 150 kGy at temperatures ranging from 77 K to 373 K. Analysis of the sol/gel behaviour, tensile properties, and glass transition temperatures indicated that crosslinking commenced in the temperature range 195 to 263 K, for a dose of 150 kGy. The latter temperature was 13 K below the glass transition temperature. Crosslinking remained relatively constant to higher temperatures. Chain scission reactions were found to occur well below the glass transition temperature and increased at higher temperatures. The optimum temperature for the radiation crosslinking of TFE/PMVE, for the temperatures investigated, was 263 K.
