Effect of preparation temperature in solvent evaporation process on Eudragit RS microsphere properties

Eudragit RS 100 microspheres containing ketoprofen as a model drug were prepared by the solvent evaporation method using an acetone/liquid paraffin solvent system. The influence of various preparation temperatures: 10, 25, 35, and 40 degrees C, on particle size and morphology, drug content and release kinetics, and drug crystal state was evaluated. With increasing temperature, microsphere average size was found to increase and particle size distribution to widen significantly. At 10 degrees C particles of irregular shape are formed, whereas higher temperatures gradually improve the sphericity of microspheres. As can be seen from SEM photographs, particle surface roughness decreases as preparation temperature increases. It was found that temperature had no effect either on ketoprofen microencapsulation efficiency or on its crystal state, but it does influence emulsion-stabilizer incorporation. Ketoprofen forms solid solution in Eudragit matrix and maintains amorphous state for significant period of time. Drug release rates from microspheres correlated with microspheres' surface roughness and to a lesser extent with particle size.

Ordered nano-structure of a stamped self-organized protein layer on a HOPG surface using a HFB carrier

A groundbreaking method for ordered molecular layer preparation on a solid surface employing the drop-stamp method has been developed by us taking advantage of the characteristics of the HFB molecule as a self-organizer/adsorption carrier. It is a smart method which can be used to prepare a self-organized protein layer on a solid surface without unspecific adsorption or defects. In our previous report, we clarified the self-organizing nature of HFB-tagged protein molecules on a surface of a solution droplet. In this report, a protein layer was prepared on a HOPG surface by using the drop-stamp method with a maltose binding protein (MBP)-tagged HFBII molecule. The structure of the stamped protein layer was investigated using frequency modulation atomic force microscopy (FM-AFM) in a liquid condition. The FM-AFM images show that the drop-stamp method can prepare an ordered protein layer on a solid surface smartly. The drop-stamp method using a HFB carrier is a practical method which can be used to prepare an ordered protein layer on a solid substrate surface without unspecific adsorption defects.     

Physicochemical and catalytic properties of grafted vanadium species on different mesoporous silicas

Vanadium modified mesoporous silicas type MCM-41, MCM-48, and SBA-15 are obtained by a solid state method. The samples are characterized and compared at the different steps of their preparation by X-ray diffraction, N(2)-physisorption, FTIR, UV-vis, XPS, and TG-TPR. Samples catalytic activity is tested in ethylacetate oxidation. Formation of various vanadium species, mainly isolated and small oligomeric ones, grafted to the support surface silanol groups, is observed. It is found that the state and the properties of the vanadium species depend on the porous characteristics of the silica host matrix. The nature of the catalytic active center in the ethylacetate oxidation is discussed.

Calculating the surface tension between a flat solid and a liquid: a theoretical and computer simulation study of three topologically different methods

We discuss three topologically different methods for calculating the surface tension between a flat solid and a liquid from theoretical and computer simulation viewpoints. The first method, commonly used in experiments, measures the contact angle at which a static droplet of liquid rests on a solid surface. We present a new analysis algorithm for this method and explore the effects of line tension on the contact angle. The second method, commonly used computer simulations, uses the pressure tensor through the virial in a system where a thick, infinitely extended slab of liquid rests on a solid surface. The third method, which is original to this paper and is closest to the thermodynamic definition of surface tension, applies to a spherical solid in contact with liquid in which the flat solid is recovered by extrapolating the sphere radius to infinity. We find that the second and third methods agree with each other, while the first method systematically underestimates surface tension values.     

Argon–water system at low temperatures

The molecular dynamics method is used to simulate argon solutions in water and a thin water film–argon system at low temperatures. The correlation in motions of two closely spaced argon atoms is of another nature than the correlation of two neon atoms in a neon solid solution in ice II. The structure of hydrate shells of argon atoms contains five-membered rings composed of water molecules. The solubility of argon in a water film at low temperatures is noticeably higher than at room temperature. If a water film is first cooled to the glassy state and then argon atoms are added to it, then approximately as many argon atoms are absorbed on the film surface as they are present in a cooled film in equilibrium with the argon atmosphere. Argon atoms migrate from one pit to another on the rough surface of a solid water film.     

Electrowetting of nonwetting liquids and liquid marbles

Transport of a water droplet on a solid surface can be achieved by differentially modifying the contact angles at either side of the droplet using capacitive charging of the solid-liquid interface (i.e., electrowetting-on-dielectric) to create a driving force. Improved droplet mobility can be achieved by modifying the surface topography to enhance the effects of a hydrophobic surface chemistry and so achieve an almost complete roll-up into a superhydrophobic droplet where the contact angle is greater than 150 degrees . When electrowetting is attempted on such a surface, an electrocapillary pressure arises which causes water penetration into the surface features and an irreversible conversion to a state in which the droplet loses its mobility. Irreversibility occurs because the surface tension of the liquid does not allow the liquid to retract from these fixed surface features on removal of the actuating voltage. In this work, we show that this irreversibility can be overcome by attaching the solid surface features to the liquid surface to create a liquid marble. The solid topographic surface features then become a conformable "skin" on the water droplet both enabling it to become highly mobile and providing a reversible liquid marble-on-solid system for electrowetting. In our system, hydrophobic silica particles and hydrophobic grains of lycopodium are used as the skin. In the region corresponding to the solid-marble contact area, the liquid marble can be viewed as a liquid droplet resting on the attached solid grains (or particles) in a manner similar to a superhydrophobic droplet resting upon posts fixed on a solid substrate. When a marble is placed on a flat solid surface and electrowetting performed it spreads but with the water remaining effectively suspended on the grains as it would if the system were a droplet of water on a surface consisting of solid posts. When the electrowetting voltage is removed, the surface tension of the water droplet causes it to ball up from the surface but carrying with it the conformable skin. A theoretical basis for this electrowetting of a liquid marble is developed using a surface free energy approach.

Factors influencing the contact angle value. The contact angle,as a characteristic of the properties of solid surfaces

A survey of publications concerning the properties of solids in relation to wetting phenomena is presented. Factors influencing the contact angle value as well as problems of objective approach to research into wetting phenomena are discussed. Peculiarities of the direct and reverse processes during the formation of the solid—liquid—vapor three-phase contact and the inevitability of contact angle hysteresis for polar solids and liquids are analyzed. It is suggested that contact angle hysteresis is due to high energy of the interaction between the liquid and the solid and hence a long relaxation time of the three-phase contact system. Specific features of the response of a solid surface to all surface processes (“chemomechanics”) is discussed. Cleaning of solid surfaces as well as surface preparation for repeated measurements is considered. It is shown that good reproducibility of results is possible if conditions for sample preparation are met. The results of determination of the activation energy for wetting of glass surface with water are presented. The influence of the structure of solids (their hardness) on the contact angle values is demonstrated. Inevitability of the presence of different-type active sites characterized by different dissociation constants (pK_a) on the surface of solids is discussed. The pK_a values and content of these surface sites obtained from potentiometric titration and wetting data are estimated. The estimates thus obtained are in reasonable agreement with each other and can thus be used in practical applications. However, potentiometric titration is currently inappropriate for evaluating the content of individual surface sites as well as the surface charge.

Surface oxidation states in Si/SiO2 nanostructures prepared from Si/SiO2 mixtures

Silica nanospheres have been produced by a novel technique where surface Si oxidation states can be adjusted using the ratio of metalloid ions/metalloid atoms in the starting mixture. When the proportions of Si4+/Si0 are equal in the synthesis, the resulting solid is considerably more reactive than Cab-O-Sil toward the phenol hydroxylation reaction and the surface shows an average Si oxidation state of +3. On the other hand, those silica nanospheres, produced from a mixture of Si4+/Si0 = 0.25, showed a lower reactivity comparable to that of Cab-O-Sil which XPS demonstrates has a surprisingly low average Si oxidation state close to +1. We speculate that the silicon surface oxidation state and the number of surface silanol groups play important roles in determining the activity of the solid toward the phenol hydroxylation reaction. In expanding our earlier report4 on the copper-silica system, we establish that the surface chemistry of the silica nanospheres is apparently different from that of fumed, amorphous silica. These results suggest that we are developing a technique that can be generalized to create supported, mixed metal oxides having tunable average surface oxidation states.

DNA-controlled assembly of soft nanoparticles

Immobilization of DNA (encoding) on solid nanoparticles requires surface chemistry, which is well established for gold surfaces but often tedious and not generally applicable for many other inorganic surface materials. While substantial effort has been devoted to expanding surface chemistry techniques for solid nanoparticles, considerably less attention has been given to the development of noncovalent attachment of DNA to soft nanoparticles, like liposomes. Here we report a DNA-controlled assembly of liposomes in solution and on solid supported membranes, this process displays remarkably sharp thermal transitions from an assembled to a disassembled state, allowing application of DNA-controlled liposome assembly for the detection of polynucleotides (e.g., DNA) with single mismatch discrimination power. The method is based on a single DNA strand (contains two lipid membrane anchors), which is able to noncovalently attach to a liposome surface. This design enables detection of biological polynucleotide targets as the complementary strand can be unmodified DNA and RNA strands.     

Large scale synthesis of red emissive carbon dots powder by solid state reaction for fingerprint identification

Red emissive carbon dots(CDs) powder was synthesized on a large scale from phloroglucinol and boric acid by a novel solid state reaction with yield up to 75%. This method is safe and convenient, for it needs neither high pressure reactors nor complicated post-treatment procedures. The as-prepared carbon dots powder exhibited strong red fluorescence with excitation-independent behavior. XPS measurement and PL spectra suggest that such red fluorescence arise from boron-doped structures in CDs, which increases along with the boron concentration on CDs surface but decreases when the concentration quenching effect takes place. To overcome the aggregation induced fluorescence quenching of the solid CDs powder,the conventional methods are dispersing CDs into a large amount of inert substrates. But our present work provides a new strategy to realize strong red fluorescence of CDs in solid state. As a result, such carbon dots powder works well for latent fingerprint identification on various material surfaces.     

沉淀温度对K-CuLaZrO_2催化剂上合成气直接合成异丁醇的影响

合成气制备异丁醇是一个非常复杂的过程,催化剂性质与异丁醇形成之间的关系仍未完全理解。共沉淀法是合成固体复合氧化物常用的制备方法,分散度高、相互作用强、制备工艺简单,但是影响制备过程的因素很多。本研究深入考察沉淀反应开始时沉淀温度对催化剂性质的影响,进而通过不同的表征手段,结合评价结果建立催化剂性质与异丁醇形成的联系,进一步完善异丁醇形成机制。结果表明,低温(30℃)有利于CuO-ZrO_2固溶体的形成,两者分散性好,且彼此之间相互作用较强,有利于氧化铜还原。同时,在低温下,催化剂表面含有较多的羟基,与CO反应后形成较多的表面C_1物种,促进了碳链增长,提高了异丁醇选择性。提高沉淀温度后,CuO颗粒粒径增大,CuO-ZrO_2固溶体逐渐被破坏,两者相互作用减弱,且表面羟基含量降低,导致表面C_1物种减少,异丁醇选择性明显降低。在CLZ-30(沉淀温度为30℃)催化剂上,异丁醇的选择性最高可达38.7%。
