正丙醇水溶液准弹性中子散射光谱的分子动力学模拟

准弹性中子散射(QENS)光谱是获取溶液分子动力学性质的重要方法,但光谱解析模型的有效性和去耦合近似的合理性仍存在争议.本文利用分子动力学模拟方法获取纯水和正丙醇水溶液中羟基氢原子的自相关中间散射函数FS(Q,t)和去耦合近似函数FP(Q,t),以及相关性质来评价它们的合理性.结果表明,在低动量转移范围内平-转去耦合近似相对合理,水分子的平-转耦合贡献较小,混合溶液中水分子的平-转耦合项和转动项随动量转移Q值增大而增大,二者显现相互抵消趋势.对于混合溶液中的正丙醇羟基氢原子,由于FS(Q,t)和质心自相关中间散射函数FCM(Q,t)偏差较大,利用实验光谱直接拟合分子平动扩散系数是不合适的.三种平动模型获取的纯水和正丙醇水溶液分子平动扩散系数与实验结果一致,略高于Einstein均方位移方法所得结果.水分子在纯水和混合溶液中表现为跳跃转动,而不是连续转动.正丙醇分子存在转动各向异性,羟基氢原子沿羟基向量为跳跃转动,沿相对质心向量可近似为连续转动.模拟结果显示,高动量转移范围平-转耦合项贡献较大,直接拟合实验光谱获取分子转动扩散系数或弛豫时间是不合适的.鉴于低动量转移范围内转动和平转耦合贡献较小,以及二者的抵消作用,在此范围内获取水分子平动信息是现实可行的.

Dissolution of Cellulose in Aqueous NaOH Solutions

Dissolution of a number of cellulose samples in aqueous NaOH was investigated with respect to the influence of molecular weight, crystalline form and the degree of crystallinity of the source samples. A procedure for dissolving microcrystalline cellulose was developed and optimized, and then applied to other cellulose samples of different crystalline forms, crystallinity indices and molecular weights. The optimum conditions involved swelling cellulose in 8–9 wt % NaOH and then freezing it into a solid mass by holding it at –20°C. This was followed by thawing the frozen mass at room temperature and diluting with water to 5% NaOH. All samples prepared from microcrystalline cellulose were completely dissolved in the NaOH solution by this procedure. All regenerated celluloses having either cellulose II or an amorphous structure prepared from linter cellulose and kraft pulps were also essentially dissolved in the aqueous NaOH by this process. The original linter cellulose, its mercerized form and cellulose III samples prepared from it had limited solubility values of only 26–37%, when the same procedure was applied. The differences in the solubility of the celluloses investigated have been interpreted in terms of the degrees to which some long-range orders present in solid cellulose samples have been disrupted in the course of pre- treatments.     

Structure of Escherichia coli dUTPase in Solution: A Small Angle Neutron Scattering Study

The present study investigates shape properties of the enzyme dUTPase from Escherichia coli in the solution phase. In this work small angle neutron scattering (SANS) findings on dUTPase/D₂O solutions for temperature values of T = 8 °C and T = 37 °C are presented. The analysis of SANS data, carried out by using a prolate ellipsoid core/shell model fitting and the well‐known Guinier and Zimm analysis procedures allows the characterization of the shape of the protein in solution. By means of the comparison with experimental and theoretical data existing in literature on dUTPase in the crystalline state, we find that the protein in solution maintains its dimensions before the denaturation process. Furthermore, by analyzing the SANS spectra of dUTPase/D₂O/trehalose solutions, we emphasize the bioprotective effects of trehalose on the protein.

Neutron Scattering Studies of Structure and Self-Assembly of Star-Shaped Polymers with Fullerene Centres in Solutions

Protonated star-shaped polystyrenes with single and double fullerene C₆₀ core and the hybrid stars with pairs of polar and non-polar arms (tertbuthylmetacrylate, polystyrene) have been studied in deuterated toluene (20 °C) by small-angle neutron scattering at low and moderate polymer concentrations (c₁ ∼ 1 g/dl, c₂ ∼ 3–6 g/dl) to evaluate the peculiarities of fullerene centre action on polymers self-assembly in solutions. As we found, the cores composed of two fullerenes, linked via Si(CH₃)₂-bridge, induce stars' anisotropic interactions and association into chain-like structures (correlation radius ∼400–600 nm). Meanwhile, the single-core stars of polystyrene and hybrids organize globular clusters (size ∼ 10³ nm) those geometry do not change significantly by polymer content variation.     

Novel Fibers Prepared from Cellulose in NaOH/Urea Aqueous Solution

Summary: Novel regenerated cellulose fibers have been successfully spun from the cellulose dope in NaOH/urea aqueous solution, which could rapidly dissolve cellulose. The fibers possess circular cross‐sections as well as relatively high molecular weight, and a crystallinity index with cellulose II family crystal structure, leading to good mechanical properties. This technology is simple, cheap, and environmentally friendly, promising to substitute for viscose rayon production having hazardous byproducts.

Counterion Association and Structural Conformation Change of Charged PAMAM Dendrimer in Aqueous Solutions Revealed by Small Angle Neutron Scattering

Our previous study of the structure change of poly(amidoamine) starburst dendrimers (PAMAM) dendrimer of generation 5 (G5) have demonstrated that although the overall molecular size is practically unaffected by increasing DCl concentration, a configurational transformation, from a diffusive density profile to a more uniform density distribution, is clearly observed. In the current paper, the focus is placed on understanding the effect of counterion identity on the inter-molecular structure and the conformational properties by studying the effect due to DBr using small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and integral equation theory. While the overall molecular size is found to be essentially unaffected by the change in the pD of solutions, it is surprising that the intra-molecular configurational transformation is not observed when DBr is used. The overall effective charge of a dendrimer is nearly the same for α < 1, independent of the type of acids. However, when α > 1, the effect of counterion identity becomes significant, the effective charge carried by a charged G5 PAPAM protonated by DBr becomes smaller than that of solutions with DCl. As a consequence, a counterion identity dependence of counterion association is revealed: Under the same level of molecular protonation, the specific counterion association, which is defined as the ratio of bound chloride anions to positively charged amines per molecule, is larger for the G5 PAMAM dendrimer charged by DBr than the one by DCl.     

Homogenous Carboxymethylation of Cellulose in the New Alkaline Solvent LiOH/Urea Aqueous Solution

In this work, the carboxymethylation of cellulose in a new alkaline cellulose solvent, LiOH/urea aqueous solution, was investigated. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) samples were characterized with FT-IR, NMR, HPLC, and viscosity measurements. Water-soluble CMC with DS = 0.36∼0.65 was prepared, from both Avicel cellulose and cotton linters in the LiOH/urea system. The total DS of CMC could be controlled by varying the molar ratio of reagents and the reaction temperature. The results from structure analysis by HPLC after complete depolymerization showed that the mole fractions of the different carboxymethylated repeating units as well as those of unmodified glucose follow a simple statistic pattern. A distribution of the carboxymethyl groups of the AGU was determined to be in the order O-6 > O-2 > O-3 position at the level.

Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Study of Nonionic Surfactant Micelles and Phase Transitions in w/o Microemulsion

The structure of micelles formed by a four component water-in-oil nonionic microemulsion surfactant polyoxyethene (20) sorbitan monoleate (Tween 80), sorbitan monolaurate (Span 20) at ethyl oleate and deuterated water interface have been probed by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The total surfactant concentration in each of the samples studied (Tween 80: Span 20) is fixed at 3:2. The deuterated water content is variable at 5–60% w/w. The experimental SANS data from all the seven samples are fit well by spherical micelles interacting with hard sphere potential. Increased deuterated water leads to spherical to lamellar and rod-like micelle geometry featured in the SANS scattering data. The observed change in micelle geometry supports the characterization of phase transition between the self-assembled micelles of the nonionic microemulsion.      

Small‐Angle Neutron Scattering from Elastomeric Networks in which the Junctions Alternate Regularly in their Functionality

We compute scattering form factors for SANS from labeled paths in Gaussian phantom networks in which junctions alternate regularly in their functionality (the number of chains emanating from a junction). Our calculations are based on the James‐Guth model of rubber‐like elasticity, which assumes that fluctuations are strain independent, while mean vectors transform affinely with the applied strain. Kratky plots for scattering from isotropic and uniaxially stretched bifunctional networks are computed and compared with corresponding plots for the simpler unifunctional networks. The results show the effects of the length of the labeled path, extent of deformation, direction of scattering with respect to the principal axis of the deformation and the functionalities of the network junctions.

     

Characterization of Carbon Based Nanoparticles Dispersion in Aqueous Solution Using Dynamic Light Scattering Technique

Characterization of physicochemical properties of nanoparticles in aqueous environment prior to conducting hazard studies is strongly recommended by many scientific organizations. In this work we studied the dissolution behaviour and physicochemical properties of carbon based nanoparticles in aqueous solution. The time evolution of the size distribution and the state of dispersion of carbon black and carbon nanotubes in physiological solution have been investigated by means of Dynamic Light Scattering technique. The influence of mechanical agitation such as sonication and stirring on the agglomeration state and particle size distribution has been investigated. However, such processes seem to have little or no effect as far as agglomeration is concerned.
