EFFECTS OF L-PHENYLALANINE ON THE RADIATION SYNTHESIS OF POLY(N,N''''-METHYLENEBISACRYLAMIDE-co-4-VINYLPYRIDINE)(MICRO)GELS

The effects of L-phenylalanine(L-Phe)on the synthesis of poly(N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide-co-4-vinylpyridine) (poly(Bis-co-4-VP))(micro)gels by γ-ray irradiation were studied.The addition of L-Phe could not only decrease the gelation dose(D_g)of the synthesis obviously,but also transform the morphology of copolymer from microgel to gel.In addition,the swelling ability of the(micro)gels was also affected in the presence of L-Phe.The decrease of D_g was ascribed to the effect of pH,while the transformation of the morphology was ascribed to the effect of L-Phe on the stability of the poly(Bis-co-4-VP)microgel.Such an effect was confirmed further as compared with the effects of L-alanine,L-glutamic acid,L-arginine,sulfuric acid and aqueous ammonia.     

EFFECTS OF L-PHENYLALANINE ON THE RADIATION SYNTHESIS OF POLY （N,N＇-METHYLENEBIS A CR YLAMIDE-co-4-VINYLPYRID INE） （MICRO）GELS

The effects of L-phenylalanine （L-Phe） on the synthesis ofpoly（N,N＇-methylenebisacrylamide-co-4-vinylpyridine） （poly（Bis-co-4-VP）） （micro）gels by γ-ray irradiation were studied. The addition of L-Phe could not only decrease the gelation dose （Dg） of the synthesis obviously, but also transform the morphology of copolymer from microgel to gel. In addition, the swelling ability of the （micro）gels was also affected in the presence of L-Phe. The decrease of Dg was ascribed to the effect of pH, while the transformation of the morphology was ascribed to the effect of L-Phe on the stability of the poly（Bis-co-4-VP） microgel. Such an effect was confirmed further as compared with the effects of L-alanine, L-glutamic acid, L-arginine, sulfuric acid and aqueous ammonia.     

Facile preparation of methylcellulose/poly(vinyl alcohol)physical complex hydrogels with tunable thermosensitivity

Novel complex hydrogels of methylcellulose(MC)and poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)with wide-spectrum thermoresponsivity were prepared via physical and mild process.Thermal phase transition of MC/PVA hydrogels exhibited two forms including sol/sol to gel/sol and sol/gel to gel/gel.The phase transition temperature of MC/PVA solution ranged from 38.7 to 60.6℃and was able to be adjusted by simply changing the feeding ratios of two components.The interior morphology of MC/PVA gels was examined with fluorescence analy...     

Directed Self-assembly of Vertical PS-b-PMMA Nanodomains Grown on Multilayered Polyelectrolyte Films

Layer-by-layer polyelectrolyte self-assembly, a common method for preparing high-quality ultra-thin films, was employed to direct the self-assembly behavior of polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate)(PS-b-PMMA) block copolymer for the first time. Differing from the previous neutral polymer brushes anchored to silicon substrates via chemical modification, polyelectrolyte multilayers(PEMs) were anchored by electrostatic interaction and provided a stable, smooth, and neutral interface. In the present study, PS-b-PMMA was deposited on poly(acrylamide hydrochloride)/poly(acrylic acid)(PAH/PAA) PEMs prepared by layer-by-layer self-assembly to successfully yield vertical nanodomains after thermal annealing. Seven layered PEMs revealed an excellent, smooth surface, with a low roughness of 0.6 nm. The periodic structure with interlamellar spacing of 47 nm was determined by grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering(GISAXS). The morphology of the PS-b-PMMA nanodomains depended on the polyanion-to-polycation concentration ratio, which is related to the interaction between the block copolymer and the substrate. Our results demonstrate that layer-by-layer self-assembly is a helpful method for the phase separation of block polymers and the fabrication of vertical, ordered nanodomains.     

The optimum conditions for methanol conversion to dimethyl ether over modified sulfated zirconia catalysts prepared by different methods

Sulfated zirconia (SZ) and two promoted 1%Mn/SZ catalysts which have been prepared via sol gel (Mn/SZ-S) and impregnation (Mn/SZ-I) methods were studied.The morphology of the catalysts was characterized by XRD,BET,NH_3-TPD,ICP,SEM and FT-IR analysis.The conversion of methanol to dimethyl ether and hydrocarbons was carried out in the temperature range of 120-300 ℃.The Mn/SZ-S showed the highest activity due to the high surface area with suitable acidity.The optimum condition of Mn/SZ-S catalyst was investigated at 200°C and LHSV of 0.02 h~(-1) in a time range from 30 to 210 min.It was found that the total conversion decreased from 80.18% to 53.26% at 210 min.The reusability of this catalyst was studied at the optimum condition up till four cycles for 1 h.The characterization of the reused catalyst showed a significant change in the structure and surface acidity due to the blockage of the surface acid sited by carbonaceous materials.     

THERMAL-SENSITIVE BETA-CYCLODEXTRIN-CONTAINED POLY(N-ISOPROPYLACRYLAMIDE) HYDROGELS CROSS-LINKED BY Si―O―Si BONDS

A series of novel p（N-isopropylacrylamide） （PNIPAM） hydrogels were synthesized by radical copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide （NIPAM） and 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane （MPTMS）. The copolymers were then crosslinked through hydrolysis of the siloxane in acetic acid/water mixed solvent. Beta-cyclodextrin （Beta-CD） was introduced into the polymeric networks by condensation of 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane derived beta-cyclodextrin （KH560-beta-CD） with MPTMS under acidic condition. These gels were heterogeneous, porous and exhibited fast deswelling kinetics when the temperature was elevated to above lower critical solution temperature （LCST）. The swelling ratios of the gels containing beta-CD at room temperature were higher than that of the normal PNIPAM hydrogel, which was caused by the lower crosslinking density in beta-CD contained gels. In comparison to that of the normal PNIPAM gel, the amount of loaded-drug in the hydrogel containing beta-CD was higher, and the release time of 5-fluorouracil （5-Fu） was prolonged, which was attributed to the formation of inclusion compounds between 5-Fu and beta-CD in gel network.     

CHEMICAL MODIFICATION OF THE SURFACE OF CALCIUM ALGINATE GEL BEADS

The chemical modification of the surface of calcium alginate gel beads (CAGB) via grafting copolymerization with vinyl acetate (VAc) was studied. The optimum reaction conditions with activation and graft copolymerization two steps were explored. First, 5 grams CAGB with 2.5 mm initial diameter was initiated with 0.0493 mol/L K2S208 at 51℃ for 30 min in 15 mL 1% PVA/H2O. Then 4.34 mol/L VAc was added dropwise and the reaction was allowed to proce at 48℃ for 3 h. The grafting efficiency could come up to 30%. It was found the stability of modified CAGB in the air and in electrolyte solutions was greatly improved.     

Thermal stability and thermal aging of poly(vinyl chloride)/MgAl layered double hydroxides composites

MgAl-LDH(layered double hydroxides) were prepared with CO(NH_2)_2, NH_4 Cl and NH_3·H_2O by the coprecipitation method, respectively. Corresponding composite membranes were prepared by the coating method. LDHs were characterized by WAXS, CO_2-TPD and SEM. The morphology of the PVC/LDHs composite membranes were characterized by means of SEM. The thermal stability of the membranes was analyzed by air aging box and TGA-FTIR. The SEM results show that nano-particles can be compatible with poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC) matrix homogeneously by the stirring-ultrasound blend method with two steps. Furthermore, the air aging box results proved that MgAl-CO(NH_2)_2-LDH has the best effect on thermal stability of PVC. TGA-FTIR results show that MgAl-CO(NH_2)_2-LDH could adsorb more HCl that resulted from the degradation of PVC and improve the pyrolysis temperature of the first degradation stage by 15 K compared with PVC.     

ATRP-template dispersion polymerization of methacrylic Acid/PVP

ATRP-template dispersion polymerization of methacrylic acid （MAA） on the template of polyvinyl pyrrolidone （PVP K-30） was carried out in the aqueous solution by using methyl 2-bromopropionate （MBP）/CuC1/2,2＇-bipyridine （bpy） as the initiation system. The scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, dynamic light scattering （DLS） and gel permeation chromatography （GPC） were employed for evaluating the results of polymerization. As a result, the minimonomer droplets formed due to the H-bond interaction of PVP-MAA. The stability of droplets was dependent on pH and the concentrations of both PVP and MAA. When pH 〈 2, the coagulum of PVP-MAA formed, whereas when pH 〉 4.5, the droplets were not observable by DLS. In order to prepare the stable latex, the concentration of PVP should be lower than 9 wt%, whilst the concentration of MAA should be lower than 5.5 wt%. The optimum condition was pH 2.4, PVP 4.76 wt% and MAA 5 wt%, by which the stable latex of ca. 50 nm nanoparticles of PMAA/PVP was prepared by ATRP polymerization and simultaneously the molar mass of PVP was duplicated by PMAA according to GPC diagrams. In contrast, by using AIBN, KPS and KPS-Na2SO3 redox initiation system, the coagulum accompanying with the larger molar mass of PMAA was obtained, irrespective of pH and concentrations of PVP and MAA.     

Influence of Catalyst Residues on Thermo-oxidative Aging and Thermal Stability of Poly（butene-1）

Isotactic poly（butene-1） （iPB） with spherical morphology was synthesized successfully with bulk precipitation polymerization without post-treatment of the products. The bulk precipitation polymerization process made it possible for iPB to be used as general plastic due to the acceptable decreased cost compared with the solution polymerization process. The influence of catalyst residues on the aging and thermal stability of iPB synthesized by bulk precipitation polymerization method was investigated by gel permeation chromatography, mechanical performance testing, thermogravimetric analysis and infrared spectroscopic analysis. Commercial iPB and the lab-made iPB with varied catalyst residue contents were studied. The results demonstrated that the catalyst residues played an important role in the aging process of the iPB. A possible mechanism of aging promotion by catalyst residues was proposed.

Crystallization of Ammonium Nitrate Under Organised Monolayers at Air-Aqueous Interface

The crystallization of NH₄NO₃ under compressed Langmuir monolayers of carboxybe-taine(C₂₂N₃COO^-),C₂₂H₁₅N(CH₂)₃(CH₂)₃COO^--[C₂₂N₃COO^-] and dioleoyl-L-a-lecithin(DOPC) was studied by means of π-A. ΔV-A and fluorescence microscopy (FM). The surface pressure, surface potential and molecular area of C₂₂N₃COO^- were decreased on the NH₄NO₃ solution subphase. The surface pressure and molecular area of DOPC was increased. The surface potential of DOPC was decreased. We can directly observe the surface crystallization of NH₄NO₃ by FM. The results revaled that C₂₂N₃COO^- monolayer was the promoter of NH₄NO₃ surface crystallization. In contrast,DOPC monolayer was the inhibitor of the surface crystallization of NH₄NO₃.

NO_2对Cu/SAPO-34分子筛催化剂上NH_3选择性催化还原NO性能的影响

主要考察了NO2对Cu/SAPO-34分子筛催化剂在整个温度范围内(100-500°C)NH3选择性催化还原(SCR)NO性能的影响.研究所使用样品为新鲜Cu/SAPO-34催化剂在750°C下水热处理4 h的稳定期样品.通过X射线衍射(XRD)和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对样品的结构以及形貌进行表征,采用SCR活性评价、动力学实验以及原位漫反射傅里叶变换红外光谱(in situ-DRIFTS)表征催化剂的性能以及催化剂表面物种的变化.活性评价实验结果表明,NO2会抑制催化剂的低温(100-280°C)活性,但其存在会提高催化剂的高温(280°C以上)活性.与此同时,随着反应物中NO/NO2的摩尔比例减少,由于NH4NO3物种的分解,副产物(N2O)的浓度增大.动力学结果表明,Cu/SAPO-34催化剂上快速SCR反应的表观活化能(Ea=64.02 kJ?mol-1)比标准SCR反应的表观活化能(Ea=48.00 kJ?mol-1)更大.In situ-DRIFTS实验结果表明NO比NO2更容易在催化剂表面形成硝酸盐,并且NO2更容易与吸附在Br?nsted酸性位上的NH3物种反应生成NH4NO3.低温下,催化剂表面的NH4NO3物种会覆盖SCR反应的活性位,造成活性降低,但在高温时,形成的NH4NO3物种一部分会被NO还原为N2,而另一部分会直接热分解为N2O,造成催化剂的选择性降低.

球形表面富锰MnxCo3−xO4−ƞ尖晶石型催化剂选择性催化还原NOx研究

采用共沉淀法制备了高比表面积的Mn_xCo_3−xO₄球形催化剂,研究了NH₃选择性催化还原NO_x性能。Mn-Co金属氧化物具有尖晶石结构,随着Co含量的增加,晶体结构由四方相转变为立方相。高浓度的表面活性氧物种和变价元素的强有效电子转移(Co³⁺ + Mn³⁺ ↔ Co²⁺ + Mn⁴⁺)有利于提高Mn_xCo_3−xO₄ (x = 1.0、1.5、2.0)尖晶型石催化剂的氧化还原能力,催化剂表面的Mn富集作用形成了氧缺陷结构和丰富的表面活性位点,进一步促进SCR脱硝反应,呈现出优异的催化性能。Co_tet(CoMn)_octO₄晶体结构中,Mn离子(Mn³⁺和Mn⁴⁺,以三价锰为主)和部分Co离子被配置到八面体中心,这些物种作为活性位点存在着较强的电子转移交互作用,该构型对促进低温脱硝活性和保护活性位点耐受SO₂毒害具有重要的意义。Mn-Co尖晶石表面的NH₃-SCR脱硝反应过程主要遵循Eley-Rideal反应机理,即吸附态NH₃与气态NO (或NO₂)的反应路径。随着反应温度的增加,反应生成的NH₄NO₃中间体很可能转化为NH₄NO₂物种,进而分解为N₂,提高了催化剂的氮气选择性。     

Thermodynamic properties of the system NH4NO3 + (NH4)2SO4 + H2O at 298.15 K

In this investigation, the mixed aqueous electrolyte system of nitrate and sulfate with common ammonium cation has been studied with the hygrometric method at the temperature 298.15 K. The water activities of the system [yNH₄NO₃ + (1 − y)(NH₄)₂SO₄](aq) are measured at total molalities from 0.4 mol kg⁻¹ up to saturation for different ionic-strength fractions y of NH₄NO₃ with y = 0.2, 0.5 and 0.8. The obtained data allow the deduction of osmotic coefficients. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the Zdanovskii–Stokes–Robinson (ZSR), Leitzke and Stoughton (LSII), Kusik and Meissner (KM), and Pitzer models. From these measurements, new Pitzer mixing ionic parameters are determined and used to predict the solute activity coefficients in the mixture. The obtained results are used to calculate the excess Gibbs energy at total molalities for different ionic-strength fractions y.
