OBSERVATION OF DNA PARTIAL DENATURATION BY ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPY

Atomic force microscopy was used to investigate the DNA-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) complexes adsorbed on highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). These complexes, at low concentrations, can automatically spread out on the surface of HOPG. The DNA-CTAB complexes display a typically extended structure rather than a globular structure. Partially denaturated DNA produced by binding CTAB to DNA is directly observed by AFM with high resolution. The three-dimensional resolution of partially denaturated DNA obtained by AFM is not available by any other technique at present.     

STUDY ON THE MODIFICATION OF POLY (METHYL METHACRYLATE) TRANSPARENT MATERIAL

A kind of transparent plastic material has been prepared with bulk copolymer of MMA-MA containing MA 20 vol% as matrix modified by introducing EtOH during bulk copolymerization to increase the transparency and by copolymerizing together with metallic salts of MA forming ionomer polymer to improve the heat-tolerance and hardness. The effect of the contents of the additives on the heat stability, hardness and transparency of the copolymer has been studied. The optical homogeneity of the copolymer material has also been examined. It has been found that the specific property of transparent material of this kind may be obtained by controlling the amounts of EtOH and metallic salt of MA.     

RAMAN SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY ON THE CHAIN CONFORMATION OF ELECTROSYNTHESIZED POLY（p-PHENYLENE） FILMS

Poly（p-phenylene） （PPP） films have been electrochemically deposited on mirrorlike stainless steel （SS） electrode surfaces by direct oxidation of benzene in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate （BFEE） solutions at a constant applied potential of 1.7 V （versus Ag/AgCl）. The chain conformations of as-grown PPP films have been studied by Raman spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that high synthesis temperature favors the formation of planar PPP, and the conformation of planar PPP can be changed into torsional PPP by cooling treatment.     

STUDY ON FLUORESCENCE BEHAVIOUR OF EU~(3+) CONTAINING POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE)

Fluorimetry has been used to characterize ionomers synthesized by copolymerization ofmethyl mehacrylate, methacrylic acid and europium methacrylate (EMA). Under excita-tion of UV light at 375 nm no seif-quenching was found in fluorescence of EMA containingionomers at 615nm within the concentration range of 1.6×10~(-2) to 11.49×10~(-2) mol%.This means that the distance between two Eu~(3+) ions is larger than 5nm. In the sameconcentration range seif-quenching took place in europium octanoate (EOA) containingpoly(methyl methacrylate) in which EOA was doped as an additive.     

PREPARATION OF LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLY（GLYCIDYL METHACRYLATE） BY PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION

Low molecular weight poly（glycidyl methacrylate）s （PGMAs） were prepared by photopolymerization in ethyl acetate, with benzophenone （BP） as photoinitiator, and triethylamine （TEA） as hydrogen donor. The existence of semipinacol dormant end groups in PGMA was confirmed by FT-IR and ^1H-NMR, and the content of the semipinacol dormant groups was determined quantitatively by ^1H-NMR measurement. The effects of various thctors, such as reaction time, BP concentration and monomer concentration on the synthesis of the polymers were investigated systematically. The molecular weights of the polymers were also investigated with GPC. It is shown that increasing BP concentration and decreasing irradiation time and monomer concentration led to a significant decrease of the molecular weights.     

IMMOBILIZATION OF LIPASE FROM PORCINE PANCREAS ON POLY （METHYL ACRYLATE）COPOLYMERS

A series of poly(methyl acrylate) copolymers of different pore structures were synthesized and functionalized by polyethylene polyamine.The lipase from porcine pancreas was adsorbed on these polymer carriers. It was found that the proe structure and functional group were basic factors which affected the activity of immobilized lipase,The optimal conditions for adsorbing lipase were studied and the effects of pH,ionic strength and temperature on the immobilized lipase were compared with those on the dissolved lipase.     

STUDY ON THE FORMATION MECHANISM OF MONODISPERSE PARTICLES IN THE EMULSIFIER-FREE EMULSION POLYMEAIZATION OF METHYL METHACRYLATE AND BUTYL ACRYLATE

The formation mechanism of monodisperse polymer latex particles in the emulsifier-free emulsion polymerizationof methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate with potassium persulfate as initiator was investigated. A multi-step formationmechanism for the monodisperse polymer particles was proposed. The nucleation mechanism is considered to be thecoagulation of the precursor particles by homogeneous nucleation when the primary particles reach a critical size with highsurface charge density and sufficient stability. It had been proved by a special experiment that the early latex particles formedby the coagulation were stable. The primary particles grow by absorbing monomers and radicals in the polymerization systemand then become colloidally unstable again due to the understandable decrease of particle surface charge density, which leadsto the aggregation of the growing particles and the formation of larger latex pedicles therefrom. Aner the nucleation period,the preferential aggregation of the smaller particles in the propagation process leads to the change of the particles towards auniform size and narrower particle size distribution. The coexistence and competition of homogeneous nucleation,coagulation, propagation and aggregation result in the increase of the polydispersity index (U = D_(43)/D_(10)) in the first Stage,then its decrease in the later stage because of the competition of propagation and aggregation, and the gradual formation ofthe monodisperse particles.     

CRYSTALLIZATION OF BLENDS OF AN ASYMMETRIC POLY（OXYETHYLENE）-b-POLY（OXYBUTYLENE） BLOCK COPOLYMER WITH POLY（OXYBUTYLENE）

An oxyethylene/oxybutylene block copolymer with asymmetric volume fraction (E115B103) was blended with oxybutylene homopolymer (Bh) at different volume fractions of the block (φE). Crystallization behavior of the blends was studied and was compared with that of the blends from a symmetric block copolymer (E114B56). It was found that the crystallization temperature of E115B103/B28 blend is lower than that of the blends from symmetric block copolymer. For the blend with φE= 0.30 breakout crystallization with an Avrami exponent n ≈ 3.0 is observed. At φE = 0.22 the blend exhibits a variable crystallization behavior: confined crystallization with n ≈ 1.0 at lower crystallization temperatures but breakout crystallization at high crystallization temperatures. For the blend with φE = 0.14 and sphere morphology confined crystallization occurs at all crystallization temperatures studied. When compared with the blends from symmetric block copolymer, confined crystallization occurs more easily in the E115B103/B28 blends. The SAXS results agree with the isothermal crystallization kinetics. Deformation of the confined crystalline block is observed in the blend with φE = 0.14 and mixed lamellar and cylinder morphologies in the blend with φE = 0.22.     

PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION ON THE MISCIBILITY OF ISOTACTIC POLYPROPYLENE （iPP） AND SYNDIOTACTIC POLYPROPYLENE （sPP） BLENDS

Experimental miscibility studies were performed on different compositions of iPP/sPP blends, where sPP has a low syndiotacticity （[rrrr] = 81%）. Combining optical microscopy, rheology, and solid state NMR spectroscopy, the miscibility of the blends was investigated at different scales in the traditionally thought to be ＂immiscible＂ iPP/sPP blends. For the composition of iPP/sPP （90/10） blend, it shows to be miscible in the melt, and furthermore, the existence of intermolecular chain interactions between sPP and iPP components was detected in the solid state.     

UNUSUAL CRYSTALLIZATION AND MELTING PROCESSES OF AN OPTICALLY ACTIVE POLYOLEFIN： ISOTACTIC POLY（（S）-4-METHYL-HEXENE-1）

Polyolefins that bear a chiral side chain (typically an isobutyl group) experience a so-called macromolecular amplification of chirality: the chiral side-chain induces a slight preference for either tg or tg- main chain conformation. This slight conformational bias is amplified cooperatively along the chain, and results in preferred chirality of the main chain helical conformations. As a result, these polymers display a liquid-crystal (LC) phase both in solution and, in the melt as a transient phase on the way to crystallization. The existence of two processes (melt-LC and LC-crystal transitions) results in unconventional behaviors that were first analyzed by Pino and collaborators back in 1975. These polymers also offer a means to test the structural consequences of recently introduced crystallization schemes. These schemes postulate the formation of a transient liquid-crystal phase as a general scheme for polymer crystallization.

THE COMPATIBILITY OF BLENDS OF POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE) OR CHLORINATED POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE) WITH POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE)

IR spectral shifts of carbonyl vibrational absorption for ethyl acetate, which acts analogically as the structural unit of poly(methyl methacrylate), in cyclohexane, chloroform, chlorinated paraffins, poly(vinyl chloride) and chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) were measured. The results suggest that there are specific interactions between the carbonyl groups and the chlorinated hydrocarbons which could be responsible for the apparent compatibility of poly(vinyl chloride)—poly(methyl methacrylate) and chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride)—poly(methyl methacrylate) blends. Additionally, the effects of the preparation mode of blend films on phase separation and observed compatibility are discussed.

研究比较线型聚酯胺和超支化聚酯胺作为添加剂用于静电纺丝时,对低浓度聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯溶液可纺性的改善效果及其机理.结果表明,只需加入1wt%的添加剂,无论是线型的还是超支化聚酯胺均能够提高低浓度聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯溶液的可纺性,得到无"串珠"结构的均匀纤维,其直径比不加添加剂而在高浓度纺丝时得到的均匀纤维细很多.通过溶液性能的测试,发现提高可纺性的原因均是由于溶液电导率的提高.超支化聚酯胺因其多枝的结构而含有较多的极性端基,致使本身电导率较高,因而对可纺性的改善效果好于线型聚酯胺.     

凝聚条件对聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯薄膜银纹化现象的影响

<正> 当玻璃态聚合物受张力作用时,常可以观察到银纹形成,它是聚合物材料内部断裂的先兆,银纹是垂直于拉伸方向的平面缺陷,与正常裂纹不同,银纹的质量不是零,而是由沿拉伸方向排列的高度应变的微纤及孔穴组成,银纹的典型尺寸约为长100μm,宽1—2μm,微纤的直径约5—15nm,微纤的总体积分数约占20—50％,微纤能支撑负荷,因此银纹在控制聚合物屈服以后的力学行为中的作用一直是个重要的研究领域。近年来从聚合物分子缠结网对银纹生长,微纤断裂及银纹稳定性的影响方面做了一些有意义的工作。
