固体核磁共振中膜蛋白双交叉极化效率与动力学参数相关的定量分析

固体核磁共振（NMR）中双交叉极化（DCP）是用于膜蛋白信号指认的多维异核相关实验的基本技术模块.DCP的效率在很大程度上决定了多维异核相关实验的效率.本文分析了3种典型的膜环境中的膜蛋白（AQPZ、DAGK和EV71 2B）的DCP效率及其影响因素.结果显示,在相同的实验条件下,3种蛋白样品的DCP效率存在明显差异：其中AQPZ的DCP效率最高（31%）,DAGK的效率次之（23%）,EV71 2B的效率最低（14%）.通过测量它们在旋转坐标下的自旋-晶格弛豫时间（T_1ρ）和偶极耦合常数（D_HN）,发现膜蛋白的运动会明显缩短T_1ρ,但对D_HN的影响较小.在实验的基础上,建立了T_1ρ与DCP效率相关的模型,并基于DCP动力学的定量分析,证明了运动导致的T_1ρ缩短是降低DCP效率的主要原因.因此,可以通过定量分析未知样品的T_1ρ来预测其DCP的最优效率,为DCP实验的优化提供依据.     

结晶PMMA/SAN共混体系的相容性和PMMA结晶行为的NMR研究

我们用固体NMR方法研究了SAN与结晶PMMA的相容性,并提出了可能的相容性机理;同时我们也研究了PMMA的结晶行为,发现它不同于SMA/PMMA中只存在少量结晶区的PMMA的行为.SAN/结晶PMMA是部分相容的体系,由于PMMA中的羰基与SAN中的苯基的相互吸引才导致共混物相容,且SAN只与无定形PMMA区相容,结晶区可用NMR方法检测到,这说明SAN/PMMA的相容性比SMA/PMMA差,主要原因是SAN与PMMA的相互作用弱于SMA与PMMA的相互作用.交替共聚利于相容.     

交叉极化时间对分子间交叉极化的影响的研究

以C₆₀和聚氧乙烯(PEO)复合物为研究对象,系统地研究了交叉极化时间对分子间交叉极化实验的影响. 结果表明,在使用分子间交叉极化方法研究复合体系相结构和界面结构时,必须考虑交叉极化时间的影响才能获得更可靠的结论. 同时,系统地改变交叉极化时间也能为分子间交叉极化实验的设计引入一个新的维度,从而可能得出一些在单个交叉极化时间下难以获得的结论. 例如,本实验发现C₆₀}的分布并不完全局限于PEO的非晶区,至少部分C₆₀和PEO的晶区在空间上比较接近.

固体核磁共振魔角旋转条件下的定量交叉极化技术(英文)

交叉极化与魔角旋转结合（CP/MAS）的方法已经成为增强固体核磁共振（NMR）检测灵敏度最重要的技术之一.CP/MAS技术的应用大大提高了固体NMR谱图的采集效率.然而,I-S偶极耦合作用、旋转坐标系下的自旋-晶格弛豫、分子运动,以及样品中丰核的分布情况等因素,通常会导致CP/MAS谱图失去定量作用.近年来,多个研究组通过改进或者设计新型固体NMR脉冲序列,获得了基于CP的可用于定量分析的固体NMR谱图.本综述首先简要介绍了CP及CP动力学,随后介绍了一系列基于CP的定量固体NMR信号增强技术,具体包括ramped-amplitude CP（RAMP-CP）、multiple-contact CP、quantification of CP（QCP）、Lee-Goldburg frequency modulated CP（LG-FMCP）和quantitative CP（QUCP）.

The influence of the radiofrequency excitation and conversion pulses on the lineshapes and intensities of the triple-quantum MAS NMR spectra of I = 3/2 nuclei

A rigorous examination of the various multiple-quantum magic angle spinning sequences is carried out with reference to sensitivity enhancement in the isotropic dimension and the lineshapes of the corresponding MAS peaks in the anisotropic dimension. An echo efficiency parameter is defined here, which is shown to be an indicator of the performance aspects of the various sequences. This can be used in the design of further new experiments in this field. A consequence of such a systematic analysis has been the combination of a spin-lock pulse for excitation of multiple-quantum coherences and an amplitude-modulated pulse for their conversion to observable single-quantum coherences. This approach has resulted in an improved performance over other sequences with respect to both the anisotropic lineshapes and the isotropic intensities.

The Formation and Evolution of the Hierarchical Structure of Polyethylene Pipe During Extrusion Processing

The formation and evolution of the hierarchical structure of polyethylene (PE) pipe during extrusion processing were investigated and its structure-performance correlation is discussed. The experimental results showed that during the PE pipe processing the axial stress by the traction machine oriented the molecular chains along the axial direction, and gave rise to some shish-kebab structures in the external layer which were parallel to the axis, so that the PE pipe easily cracked along the axial direction. Moreover, the temperature gradient generated by different cooling rates across the pipe wall caused the kebab crystals and the spherulites nucleated further from the outer wall to only grow toward the inner wall. As a result, the lamellae were oriented along the radial direction of the PE pipe. On the other hand, owing to the slow cooling of the inner wall, its tie molecules were of lowest density and hence its resistance to slow crack growth was poor. Therefore, the inner layer, which also suffered the highest hoop stress, would become the weak point in PE pipe applications; that is, the cracks extended from the inner wall of the pipe, through the wall, and then in a longitudinal direction.     

聚乙烯薄膜材料的红外光谱研究

由于红外吸收光谱法具有许多突出的优点,因此它在许多领域有广泛的应用。在薄膜、合成纤维、橡胶、塑料等高聚物的研究方面,用于单体、聚合物、添加剂的定性、定量和结构分析。一般高聚物的红外光谱中谱带的数目很多,而且不同种类的物质其光谱很不相同,特征性很强。此外红外光谱法的制样和实验技术相对比较简单,它适用于各种物理状态的样品。本实验研究以高聚物薄膜材料做样品,对样品高聚物进行红外光谱分析,分析表明,本实验所用样品高聚物成分为聚乙烯材料,这个实验结果也表明,用红外光谱法鉴定高聚物的组成非常有效。红外光谱法用于定量组分分析,与其它测量方法相比,具有制样简单方便、重复性好和测量精度高的特点。     

Effect of Die Temperature on Morphology and Performance of Polyethylene Pipe Prepared via Mandrel Rotation Extrusion

The effect of die temperature on the mechanical performance and morphology of polyethylene (PE) pipe prepared via mandrel rotation extrusion is described. The experimental results showed that during the rotation extrusion of PE pipe, the hoop flow caused by the mandrel rotation was superimposed on the axial flow to deviate the formed shish-kebab from the axial direction which was favorable to improve the hoop strength of the PE pipe. However, high die temperature caused relaxation of most of the oriented molecular chains and the consequent formation of isotropic crystals in the PE pipe, whereas too low a die temperature led to imperfections in the PE pipe. As a result, there was an optimum temperature range for the enhancement of the hoop strength. When the mandrel rotated at 6 r/min, the hoop strength of the PE pipes prepared at the die temperature of 170°C reached the maximum value, 31.8 MPa, 22% and 29% higher than that at 150°C and 210°C, respectively.     

Radiofrequency-Driven and Slow-Magic-Angle-Sample-Spinning Polarization-Transfer Techniques: A Comparative Study

The rate constant of radiofrequency-driven (RF-driven) polarization transfer and that of polarization transfer under slow-magic-angle sample spinning (S-MAS) are compared using a model system, polycrystalline α-α′-¹³C₂-phthalic acid. While the rate constant under RF irradiation in static samples strongly depends on the orientation of the internuclear vector, the rate constant under S-MAS is hardly sensitive to that orientation and, thus, depends almost exclusively on the internuclear distance. Consequently, polarization-transfer rate constants obtained under S-MAS can be interpreted more simply when used to study local order in polycrystalline or amorphous solids.

Real-time Monitoring the Vulcanization of EPDM Rubber with Ultrasound: A Study on the Reaction Kinetics

In an attempt to study the reaction kinetics of ethylene–propylene–diene (EPDM) rubber, using a noninvasive and nondestructive ultrasonic technique, several compounds varying with amounts of sulfur and accelerator were prepared. A relationship between the calibrated ultrasonic velocity and the change of molecular structure during vulcanization was investigated and described by an exponential equation. The resulting characteristic parameters, related to the cure degree and rate, were obtained through the data fitting. The experimental results showed that with the increase of content of sulfur and accelerator, the cure degree increased, but the reaction rate constant decreased.     

Miscibility,Crystallization, and Morphology of the Double-Crystalline Blends of Insulating Polyethylene and Semiconducting Poly(3-Butylthiophene)

A series of crystalline semiconducting poly(3-butylthiophene) (P3BT)/crystalline insulating polyethylene (PE) blends were prepared and the miscibility, crystallization, and structure/morphology were investigated. Even though phase separation was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), several pieces of evidence indicated that limited miscibility should be present in PE/P3BT blends: small changes in both T_m and crystallinity of PE phase and a small portion of PE being dissolved in P3BT. The study of PE isothermal crystallization kinetics revealed that the introduction of P3BT significantly influenced the nucleation mechanism and growth geometry, i.e., PE was transformed from three-dimensional (3D) spherulitic to two-dimensional (2D) disc crystals. A striking reduction of nucleation density and an obvious ringed morphology of PE spherulites (2D) in PE/P3BT blends were also observed by polarized optical microscopy; it is proposed that the limited miscibility between PE and crystalline P3BT favors the formation of ringed PE spherulite in the blends. Additionally, preferred orientation of PE lamellae, with their b-axis largely constrained to the thin film plane, was observed by X-ray diffraction in PE/P3BT blend films. It is evidenced that the PE orientation was due to the b-axis being the crystal growth direction, which can only be in film plane.
