INTRODUCTION OF CATIONIC GROUPS ONTO CARBON BLACK SURFACE AND THEIR DISPERSIBILITY IN WATER

Imidazoline hydrochlonde groups were successfully introduced onto carbon black surface by the treatment of imidazoline groups, which were introduced by the trapping of 2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane radicals formed by the thermal decomposition of 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] (AJP) with hydrochloric acid. In addition, arrridine hydrochlonde groups were introduced onto carbon black surface by the radical trapping of 2-methylpropionamidine dihydrochloride radicals formed by the thermal decomposition of 22'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AMPAD). The content of imidazoline hydrochlonde and amidine hydrochlonde groups introduced onto carbon black was determined to be 0.6 mmol/g and 0,7 mmol/g, respectively. The mean particle size of AIP/HCl-lreated and AMPAD-treated carbon black was determined to be 31 nm and 16 nm, respectively, by dynamic light scattering method. It was found that the surface of carbon black turned from hydraphobic to hydrophilic by the introduction of cationic moieties and gave a very stable colloidal dispersion in neutral and acidic water at room temperature.     

SURFACE GRAFTING OF POLYESTERS ONTO ORGANIC PIGMENTS AND THEIR DISPERSIBILITY IN ORGANIC SOLVENT

To modify the dispersibility of an organic pigment, such as quinacridone and anthraquinone, in organic solvents, the surface grafting of polyesters onto organic pigments by the anionic ring-opening alternating copolymerization of epoxides with cyclic acid anhydrides initiated by potassium carboxylate (COOK) groups introduced onto these surfaces was investigated. The organic pigment having COOK groups was prepared by the following two methods: (a) the reaction of potassium carbonate with surface acyl chloride groups, which were introduced by the treatment of surface amino groups with adipoyl dich bride, and (b) the graft polymerization of potassium acrylate initiated by azo groups introduced onto the surface. The anionic ring-opening alternating copolymerization of epoxides with cyclic acid anhydrides was initiated by COOK groups introduced onto the organic pigment surfaces to give the corresponding polyester-grafted organic pigments. The dispersibility of organic pigments in organic solvent was remarkably improved by the grafting of polyesters onto the surface.     

GRAFTING OF SULFOBETAINE ONTO A POLYURETHANE SURFACE TO IMPROVE BLOOD COMPATIBILITY

On the molecular level, it is believed that polymers containing zwitterionic structures should be compatible withblood. In this work polyurethane films were grafted with sulfobetaine by a three-step procedure. In the first step, the films'surfaces were treated with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) in toluene at 50℃ in the presence of di-n-butyl tin dilaurate(DBTDL) as a catalyst. The extent of the reaction was monitored by ATR-IR spectra; a maximum number of free NCO groups was obtained after a reaction time of 90 min.In the second step,the hydroxyl groups of N,N-dimethylethanolamine(DMEA) were allowed to react in toluene with NCO groups bound on the surface.In the third step,sulfobetaines were formed on the surface through the ring-opening reaction between tertiary amine of DMEA and 1,3-propanesultone(PS).The surfaces of the films were characterized by ATR-IR and XPS showing that the grafted surfaces were composed of sulfobetaine.The results of the contact angle measurement show that the surface was strongly hydrophilic.The platelet adhesion test demonstrated that the films grafted with sulfobetaine have excellent blood compatibility.     

GRAFTING OF POLYSTYRENE ONTO A NANOMETER SILICA SURFACE BY MICROEMULSION POLYMERIZATION

The grafting of polystyrene onto a nanometer silica surface by microemulsion polymerization is described. Silicawas functionalized with 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane coupling agent before polymerization. A mixture of ionic andnon-ionic surfactants as well as water-soluble and oil-soluble initiators were used.

The graft polymerization procedure for styrene was also applied to methyl methacrylate.Composite particles with a core-shell structure were obtained and the yield and grafting efficiency of monomer were high.     

FLUORESCENCE STUDIES ON THE ADSORPTION OF OCTADECYLRHODAMINE B ONTO A LATEX SURFACE

Abstract— The interaction of octadecylrhodamine B (ORB), a lipid-conjugated dye, with polystyrene latex in aqueous dispersions has been investigated by fluorescence techniques. The dependence of the fluorescence intensity of ORB on the latex concentration indicates that the dye is effectively adsorbed onto the latex surface from the aqueous phase and that deaggregation to fluorescent monomers from the nonfluorescent multimers takes place cooperatively when the surface coverage of the dye is reduced to a critical value. The fluorescence lifetime increases on going from a homogeneous methanolic solution to the latex dispersion, showing that the mobility of the probe is suppressed on the latex surface. From the results of polarization measurements, it is proposed that ORB molecules are adsorbed on the latex surface by a side-on geometry. The influence of a nonionic surfactant, triton X-100, on the fluorescence intensities of ORB and rhodamine B in the latex dispersion is also investigated.     

FLASH-INDUCED FAST CHANGE IN SURFACE POTENTIAL AND FLUIDITY OF PURPLE MEMBRANE STUDIED BY SPIN LABEL METHOD

Abstract— Flash-induced changes in surface potential and fluidity of purple membrane were studied by a spin label method. Changes in surface potential and fluidity were monitored by observing the distribution of charged and uncharged spin labels between the purple membrane and the aqueous phase.
On flash illumination, a transient hyperpolarization of the surface potential and a transient fluidization of the membrane hydrophobic region are induced. The former may probably reflect the proton movement near the purple membrane surface, while the latter may result from photo-induced conformational changes of bacteriorhodopsin.
The two events are different in time course. The relationships between the two events, and the formation and decay of the intermediates of bacteriorhodopsin in the photoreaction cycle are discussed.

ADSORPTION OF DINITROPHENOLS ONTO POLYMERIC ADSORBENTS AND ITS MECHANISM

The adsorption of 2,4-dinitrophenol and 2,6-dinitrophenol on non-polar and polar adsorbents was studied.The results showed that the equilibrium adsorption did not comply with the Langmuir equation and was not mono-layer adsorption .It is of interest to notice that the effect of pH on the adsorption of 2,4-or 2,6-dinitrophenol onto ADS-7 and ADS-21 was very small,The result is explained by hydrogen bonding interaction between 2,4-or 2,6-dinitrophenol and the adsorbent ADS-21.The large adsorption capacity of dinitrophenol onto ADS-21,which was about 500mg/g at an equilibrium concentration of 400mg/L,and the small dinitrophenol leakage in the effluent from ADS-21 column presented a good prospect for treatment of wastewater containing dinitrophenol with adsorbent ADS-21.     

POSTGRAFTING OF HYPERBRANCHED DENDRITIC POLYMER FROM TERMINAL AMINO GROUPS OF POLYMER CHAINS GRAFTED ONTO SILICA SURFACE

This paper describes postgrafting of hyperbranched dendritic polyamidoamine initiated from terminal amino groups of polymer chains grafted onto ultrafine silica surface in order to modify the silica surface. Surface grafting of polymer having terminal amino groups as initiator sites was performed by a reaction of terminal diamine-type polyoxyethylene with epoxy groups previously introduced onto the surface by 3-glycidoxypropyltri-methoxysilane treatment. The postgrafting reaction of dendritic polyamidoamine from the terminal amino groups was achieved by repeating the Michael addition of methyl acrylate to amino groups followed by amidation of the resulting ester moieties with ethylenediamine or hexamethylenediamine. Both the amount of amino groups and the percentage of postgrafting of the resulting polyamidoamine increased with an increase in the number of generations: the amino group content increased from 0.40 mmol/g to 2.68 mmol/g, and the percentage of postgrafting reached 61.0% after the 12th generation by using ethylenediamine in amidation. These values, however, were considerably smaller than the theoretical values. This indicates that the postgrafted polyamidoamine was a hyperbranched polymer but not a precise dendrimer. Ethylenediamine as a reactant in amidation was more effective than hexamethylenediamine, and a low content of initial amino groups was also preferred to a large amount of them probably because of steric hindrance in the propagation of hyperbranched dendritic polyamidoamine. The average particle size of hyperbranched dendritic polyamido-amine-postgrafted silica measured by light scattering photometry increased with an increase in the number of generations of the resulting polyamidoamine.

THE USE OF NEUTRAL RED TO MONITOR THE SURFACE POTENTIAL OF THE PURPLE MEMBRANE

Abstract— The binding of neutral red to purple membrane has been studied. The intrinsic p K _a and the apparent p K _a, of bound neutral red were determined by titration and by measuring the binding ratio of neutral red to purple membrane as a function of pH. The surface potential of purple membrane was inferred from the difference between these two p K _as. The H⁺/M412 ratio at different ionic strengths was also measured and compared with the surface potential. The results show that the H⁺/M412 decreased as the surface potential increased due to decreased salt concentrations. However, this correlation holds only for KCl concentrations higher than 30 m M . At lower salt concentrations, the change in surface potential is always less than the variation in the H⁺/M412 ratio.     

DIBUTYLTIN DILAURATE-CATALYZED DIISOCYANATE COUPLING- GRAFTING OF POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL) ONTO NANO-SILICA SURFACE THROUGH A ONE-STEP PROCEDURE

Grafting polymer glycols onto nano-silica surface through one-step procedure was investigated. The major characteristic of this procedure is that all the materials and reagents (silica, PEG, TDI, DBTDL, solvent) required for grafting were added simultaneously into the reaction vessel. TDI and DBTDL were used as coupling agent and catalyst, respectively.The products were characterized by FTIR, TGA, elemental analyses and TEM, giving evidence for successful grafting of PEG. Possible mechanism of this grafting was studied and two grafting processes were proposed. The process through which the grafting proceeds depends on the reaction temperature. Effect of molecular weight of PEG on grafting was also investigated.

SURFACE TENSION,STICKINESS AND ENGULFMENT

The thermodynamic conditions for the engulfment of one set of particles by another has been given in terms of interfacial energies. Experimentally, it has been shown that a polymer with a high glass transition temperature can be engulfed by a particle of low glass transition temperature; also, that Inorganic particles can be engulfed by polymer particles. As a precursor to the engulfment stage heterocoagulation can be used for bringing the particles together in a ‘sticking’ mode. This appears to be a general process which is applicable to a number of scientific areas, e.g. in biology, phagocytosis, and in material science for the preparation of composite particles.
