强磁场对四苯基卟啉及其Co(Ⅱ)/Zn(Ⅱ)配合物的影响

为研究强磁场对卟啉类化合物的影响,以四苯基卟啉(TPP)为研究对象,比较分析了无外加磁场和强磁场条件下TPP的结晶,及Co~(2+)、Zn~(2+)与TPP的配位反应。采用X射线粉末衍射测试不同磁场强度下获得的TPP晶体,紫外分光光度计快速测定了不同磁场强度下配合物产率,并分析了配位反应的动力学。TPP的结晶度随磁场强度的增强而提高,晶体尺寸随磁场强度的增加而增大;随磁场的增强,四苯基钴卟啉(CoTPP)和四苯基锌卟啉(ZnTPP)的产率下降,但两者的反应动力学不受磁场影响,其反应速率随磁场强度提高而下降。由研究结果可知,强磁场有利于四苯基卟啉的结晶取向,四苯基卟啉在溶液中垂直于磁场取向是配位反应速率降低的主要原因,随磁场强度的增加,四苯基卟啉的取向程度提高。

原子力显微镜研究高分子超薄膜结晶机理及功能化调控

近十年来,随着功能高分子单晶(含单层或寡层片晶)工程及应用研究的不断深入,除了纳米尺度结晶形貌的表征以外,多功能原子力显微镜还被用于研究分子结构、结晶条件和后处理条件对功能高分子晶体性能(电、热、光、磁等)的影响,进一步还可采用扫描探针加工技术(机械刻蚀、电致刻蚀和热致刻蚀等)对其性能进行调控以构筑功能化聚集态结构和微图案.另一方面,超薄膜中单层或寡层片晶可为研究高分子结晶提供合适的模型体系,与原子力显微镜相结合,不但可以原位、实空间、高分辨地研究高分子的成核与生长过程(生长形态演变和生长动力学),还可以用于研究亚稳态折叠链片晶厚度和形态随热处理温度与时间的演化,从而加深对片晶内有序差异、片晶增厚与熔融行为和自诱导成核的认识.

聚(ε-己内酯)薄膜结晶形貌及分子取向研究

用匀胶机通过溶液铸膜方法在硅片和铝箔基板上分别制备具有不同厚度的聚(ε-己内酯)(PCL)薄膜. 通过原子力显微镜(AFM)和偏光衰减全反射傅里叶红外光谱(ATR-FTIR)对薄膜中PCL的结晶形貌、 片晶生长方式及分子链取向进行了研究.

Electrodeposition of mesoporous semimetal and magnetic metal films from lyotropic liquid crystalline phases

Mesoporous semimetal bismuth film and magnetic metal nickel and cobalt thin films have been electrodeposited from hexagonal or lamellar structured lyotropic liquid crystalline phases with polyoxyethylene surfactant. The liquid crystalline templates are characterized by low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) and polarized-light optical microscopy (POM). The metal films are characterized by low-angle and wide-angle XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The magnetic measurements on the mesoporous nickel and cobalt films are shown to have higher coercivity (Hc) than the nonporous polycrystalline films.     

Synthesis of melamine‐formaldehyde polycondensates as the thermal stabilizer of polyoxymethylene through ultrasonic irradiation

Melamine (MA), as the formaldehyde (FA) absorbent of polyoxymethylene (POM), was polymerically modified by a condensation reaction with FA to form the melamine‐formaldehyde (MF) polycondensates with high molecular weight and comparatively high processing thermal stability. Ultrasonic irradiation was used for the synthesis, and ultrafine, crosslinked, and thermally stable MF polycondensates were obtained. The synthetic technique was discussed, and the thermal stabilization and nucleation effects of MF on POM were studied by the measurements of isothermal weight loss, balance torque, analysis of the formaldehyde emission amounts (FEAs), multiple extrusions, polarized light microscopy (PLM), isothermal and non‐isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which indicated that the thermal stability and the crystallization performance of POM was greatly enhanced by using MF as a thermal stabilizer and nucleation agent. The MF prepared using ultrasonic irradiation can improve the mechanical properties of POM more effectively compared with that prepared with normal mechanical stirring.

One-step sol-gel preparation and enhanced photocatalytic activity of porous polyoxometalate-tantalum pentoxide nanocomposites

Porous polyoxometalate-tantalum pentoxide (POM/Ta(2)O(5), POM=H(3)PW(12)O(40) and H(6)P(2)W(18)O(62)) nanocomposites with different Keggin or Dawson unit loading levels (5.6-15.3%) were successfully prepared via hydrolysis of TaCl(5) in the presence of POM without the addition of any structure-directing reagent. Several characterization techniques, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis/DRS), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), (31)P magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis were combined to confirm the structure integrity of the Keggen or Dawson unit in as-prepared composites and to investigate the optical absorption properties, morphology, and surface textural properties of the composites. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the composites compared with that of solitary POM units or Ta(2)O(5) was evaluated through decomposition of salicylic acid (SA) and rhodamine B (RB) under visible-light excitation. The large BET surface area (129.7-188.8 m(2) g(-1)) and porous structure, small particle size (20-25 nm), homogeneous dispersion of the POM unit within Ta(2)O(5) framework, decreased bandgap energy, and strong electron acceptance ability of POM can explain this high photocatalytic activity of the composites.     

Naphthylethyne based liquid crystals with high birefringence and characteristics of selective reflection

A series of high birefringence liquid crystalline molecules with cyano, isothiocyanato and trifluoromethyl terminal compounds based on naphthylethyne core was successfully synthesized and characterized. The molecular structures of the intermediates and resulting compounds were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), and elemental analysis (EA). Their thermal stability, transition temperatures, and phase sequences were investigated by simultaneous thermal analyzer polarized (STA), optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The birefringence was measured by using an Abbe refractometer. In addition, the selective reflection characteristics with naphthylethyne compounds were also studied.     

PEO分子量对POM/PEO晶/晶共混物溶液结晶的影响

以六氟异丙醇(HFIP)为聚甲醛(POM)与聚氧化乙烯(PEO)的共溶剂,通过溶液结晶研究了PEO分子量对POM/PEO 50/50晶/晶共混物结晶行为及结晶形态的影响。结果表明,PEO分子量越小,POM与PEO在结晶过程中相互干扰越大。当PEO分子量为4×103时,共混物中POM形成部分不完善晶体,出现明显的熔融双峰。SEM结果表明:含不同分子量PEO的共混晶体均无明显相分离,且低分子量PEO的共混物更易形成规整球晶,认为通过溶液结晶,POM/PEO 50/50共混物中POM与PEO形成了晶体相互穿插的结晶结构。     

Preparation and characterization of polyoxymethylene‐copolymer/hydroxyapatite nanocomposites for long‐term bone implants

In this work, new polyoxymethylene (POM)/hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocomposites for long‐term bone implants have been obtained via extrusion and injection molding processes and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), temperature‐modulated DSC (TMDSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry (TG), and tensile mechanical and in vitro stability tests. Based on the DSC results, it was found that the degree of crystallinity increases for POM/0.5% HAp sample and decreases for POM/1.0% HAp and POM/2.5% HAp. SEM and TEM observations for POM/HAp nanocomposites indicated that the dispersion of HAp in the polymer matrix was uniform and the diameter of the HAp particles was less than 100 nm for most of them. Young's modulus increases with increasing HAp concentration, whereby elongation at break decreases. On the contrary, HAp concentration does not have a significant influence on the tensile strength. TG results show that for POM/0.5% HAp, POM/1.0% HAp, and POM/2.5% HAp, thermal stability slightly increases in comparison to pure POM, whereas for POM/5.0 HAp and POM/10.0% HAp, lower thermal stability was observed. In vitro data reveal that with an increase of HAp content, bioactivity of nanocomposites increases; a good in vitro chemical stability of POM and POM nanocomposites was confirmed.

Ring‐banded spherulites in PCL and PCL/MWCNT solution‐casting films and effect of compressed CO2 on them

The ring‐banded spherulites in poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) solution‐casting films in the absence and presence of multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) are studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM), polarized optical microscopy (POM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that birefringent ring‐banded spherulites of PCL can grow from solution below 50 °C, and the temperature is much lower than that from pure PCL melt. We also find out that the presence of MWCNT apparently widen the temperature range of forming ring‐banded structure. Furthermore, the mechanism for the ring‐banded structure forming is studied, and it is attributed to the twisting of lamellae crystals, and the driving force is suggested including the deflexion of lamellae bundles. In addition, effect of compressed CO₂ on the morphology of PCL and PCL/MWCNT solution‐casting film is also investigated, and the results reveal that both PCL and PCL/MWCNT films undergo recrystallization with the treatment of compressed CO₂ and accordingly, the related properties can be adjusted. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

4,4'-二羟基二苯硫醚对聚甲醛结晶和熔融行为的影响

为了探究4,4'-二羟基二苯硫醚(TDP)的添加对聚甲醛(POM)熔融与结晶行为的影响,本文利用熔融共混的方法制备了POM/TDP共混材料。通过差示扫描量热仪(DSC)对共混材料的熔融与结晶行为进行了研究,利用广角X射线衍射仪(WAXD)对共混材料的晶体结构进行了研究。结果表明,在POM中添加TDP后,POM的晶面间距变大,晶体结构变的疏松,使POM的结晶温度(Tc)、结晶焓(ΔHc)、熔融温度(Tm)与熔融焓(ΔHm)均降低。当TDP质量分数增加到30%时,共混物的熔点与结晶温度较纯POM分别下降了15.2和12.8℃。在等温结晶过程中,随着TDP含量的增大,POM完成结晶所需的时间显著加长,共混物的结晶速率逐渐降低,结晶活化能逐渐升高,但TDP的加入对POM的晶型并没有影响。以上结果说明TDP的添加对POM的熔融与结晶行为影响很大,这将为POM结晶行为的调控提供依据。
