可多次使用的液晶型类玻璃高分子

通过高温下酯交换反应的进行,含酯键的液晶型类玻璃高分子(liquid crystalline vitrimer),能够通过简单拉伸进行取向,获得随温度变化可逆伸缩的智能材料.在目前已报道的此类主链型高分子中,酯交换剧烈发生需要的临界温度(Tv),与液晶弹性体发生可逆形变的温度(Ti,即液晶相-各向同性相转变温度)相隔较近,导致材料的使用温度范围比较窄,而且多次升降温后,取向及可逆形变会消失.为解决此问题,本文在原来体系的基础上,通过共聚合另外一种液晶基元,有效地降低了Ti,从而拓宽Ti与Tv之间的距离.这不仅使材料的使用次数明显增加,还能延长此类液晶弹性体的使用期限.

近红外响应硫化铜纳米粒子/液晶弹性体复合材料研究

报道了一种新型近红外响应光热转换试剂/液晶弹性体复合材料.目前绝大多数近红外吸收的无机金属纳米粒子,由于自身或其稳定剂(如长链硫醇或季铵盐)的化学性质,会致使经典的Finkelmann两步硅氢化加成反应中所使用的催化剂中毒失活,从而极大地限制了无机金属纳米粒子/液晶弹性体复合材料的拓展与应用.为了解决这一科学问题,我们采用了两步硫醇-烯点击化学快速制备单畴取向液晶弹性体薄膜的技术,将对近红外光有强吸收的油溶性硫化铜纳米粒子,成功地掺杂入聚硅氧烷液晶弹性体体系中,制备了近红外响应的硫化铜纳米粒子/液晶弹性体复合薄膜.通过使用紫外可见光谱、透射电子显微镜、扫描电子显微镜、偏光显微镜、示差扫描量热法、变温广角X射线散射对该复合材料进行了深入的研究,结果表明:该薄膜材料在980 nm近红外光源的照射下,可以实现高效的光热转换,从而实现快速、可逆的二维伸缩运动.     

甲基纤维素/二氯乙酸液晶溶液的相转变

本文研究了甲基纤维素/二氯乙酸液晶溶液液晶相与各向同性相之间相互转变的过程。在连续升温过程中,由于液晶相内部有序度的非均一性,升温速率对液晶相织构随温度的变化有较大的影响。在等温相转变过程中,无论是从各向同性态转变为液晶态,还是其逆过程,从液晶态转变为各向同性态,相转变曲线均具有指数方程特征。利用与 Avrami 方程相似的指数方程进行处理,在从各向同性态转变为液晶态时,指数 n 大部分约为1。但液晶相向各向同性相在低于 Tc 时的相转变中,n 均小于1。相转变速率受溶液浓度和温度的影响。在质量分数为0.259的浓度时,液晶相向各向同性相的转变在低于 Tc 时39.5℃进行得最快。

CoFe2O4自形成磁性液体场致结构化对磁化的影响

The Langevin paramagnetic theory can’t describe the relation between magnetization of ferrofluids and applied magnetic field. The structuralization of ferrofluids, which is considered the main influence factor of the magnetization, is regarded. The part of magnetization works is deposited when the structure is forming. This action influences the magnetization of ferrofluids directly or indirectly. On the base of the “compressing” model, the Langevin function that usually describes the magnetization of ferrofluid is modified, and a well-fitted curve is obtained. An equation of the relation between the equivalent volume fraction after being “compressed” and the intensity of magnetic field is discovered, which approximately describes the process of magnetization. The relation between the approximate initial susceptibility and the volume fraction can be obtained from modified formula.

A general and convenient synthesis of 4-(tosylmethyl)semicarbazones and their use in amidoalkylation of hydrogen,heteroatom, and carbon nucleophiles

A general synthesis of previously unknown semicarbazone-based α-amidoalkylating reagents, 4-(tosylmethyl)semicarbazones, has been developed. The synthesis involved three-component condensation of semicarbazones of aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes with the same or other aldehydes and p-toluenesulfinic acid. The scope and limitations of this reaction were investigated. The compounds obtained were demonstrated to be an efficient α-(4-semicarbazono)alkylating agents. They were reacted with H- (sodium borohydride), O- (sodium methylate), S- (sodium phenylthiolate), N- (pyrrolidine, sodium succinimide), P- (trialkyl phosphites), and C-nucleophiles (sodium diethyl malonate) to give the corresponding products of the tosyl group substitution, 4-substituted semicarbazones, including analogues of nitrofurazone. Among the prepared compounds tested in vitro for antibacterial and antifungal activity, three nitrofuryl-containing semicarbazones exhibited high biological activities with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 8–32 μg/mL.     

Sulfur-directed metal-free and regiospecific methyl C(sp3)–H imidation of thioanisoles

Regiospecific and direct imidation of the methyl C(sp³)–H bond of thioanisoles is realized under mild and metal-free conditions with N-fluorobis(benzenesulfonyl)imide as an oxidant and nitrogen source. Proposed mechanism suggests that thionium ion intermediates and a Pummerer-type reaction are involved. The imidation has advantages such as high step-economy, excellent functionality tolerance, and regiospecificity, giving structurally diverse imidation products.     

Synthesis of novel chiral bidentate hydroxyalkyl-N-heterocyclic carbene ligands and their application in palladium-catalyzed Mizoroki–Heck couplings and asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde

A small library of new chiral bidentate hydroxyalkyl-imidazolium salts 1 is conveniently synthesized on multi-gram scale from inexpensive and commercially available chiral pool amino acids. The corresponding carbenes, generated by deprotonation of imidazolium salts 1, in combination with palladium(II) chloride were tested in the Mizoroki–Heck coupling reaction. The most significant results in terms of yields and reactivities were achieved with low catalyst loading. The catalytic activities of these imidazolium salts were also investigated in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. The use of MgO nanoparticles as an additive in conjunction with these ligands played a crucial role in increasing the efficiency of these reactions.
