壳聚糖枝载型偶氮色素的合成及表征

合成色素已被广泛应用到食品及医药行业。但是,以偶氮类为主体的食用合成色素在人体内易降解为芳香胺类化合物,这类化合物毒性较大,具有致癌性和遗传毒性。在天然高分子中,壳聚糖作为唯一碱性多糖,无毒,生物相容性好,且高分子量的壳聚糖在人体内也难以被降解吸收,是很好的食用色素目标载体。本文利用壳聚糖上较为活泼的氨基,制备出壳聚糖枝载偶氮色素。对实验所制备的壳聚糖枝载偶氮色素,利用NaHSO_3在酸性条件下进行还原,发现其抗还原性得到有效提升。选取日落黄、橙黄Ⅱ、柠檬黄、苋菜红、胭脂红5种食用色素,通过与环氧氯丙烷反应改性,再与壳聚糖交联,合成了生物相容性好的壳聚糖枝载型大分子色素。用IR、HNMR对产物结构进行了表征,考察了壳聚糖枝载型大分子色素在NaHSO_3还原体系下的稳定性,发现其抗还原性得到有效提升。

Cathode of a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell with a solid polymer electrolyte: The effect of the flooding of pores by water on the characteristics of the active layer

A computer model of the active layer of the cathode of a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell with a solid polymer electrolyte is studied. The active mass of the electrode consists of equidimensional grains of the substrate (agglomerates of carbon particles with platinum particles embedded in them) and a solid polymer electrolyte (Nafion). The flooding by water can be experienced by both the pores in the substrate grains, which facilitate the oxygen penetration into the active layer of the electrode, and the voids between the grains. All possible versions of the flooding of these pores by water are considered. A calculation of the optimum, at a given polarization of the electrode, value of electrochemical activity, the thickness of the active layer, and the weight of platinum is performed. The major parameters of the system are the concentrations of grains of the substrate and solid polymer electrolyte, the size of these grains, the platinum concentration in the substrate grains, the average diameter of pores in the substrate grains, and the polarization of electrodes. The ultimate aim of the work is to estimate how the flooding of pores of the active layer of the cathode by water affects the magnitude of the optimum current, the effective thickness of the active layer, and the weight of platinum.Translated from Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 1, 2005, pp. 35–47.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Chirkov, Rostokin.     

The retention of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine and its decomposition products on alkyl-grafted silica gels under the ion pair chromatography conditions

The influence of eluent composition (the nature and concentration of the ion-pair reagent, medium pH, the concentration of the buffer solution, and the content of acetonitrile) on the retention of asymmetric dimethylhydrazine and its decomposition products on hydrophobized silica gels under the ion pair chromatography conditions was studied. It was shown that, for these sorbates, the influence of ion-pair reagents can be described correctly in terms of stoichiometric models. Empirical dependences of the retention of the components studied on the concentration of the buffer solution and the volume concentration of acetonitrile were determined. Conditions for the separation of the components were suggested. Original Russian Text ? A.D. Smolenkov, S.A. Ponomarenko, O.A.

Lipopolysaccharides of the pseudotuberculosis microbe Yersinia pseudotuberculosis

This review generalizes the results of structural investigations of the polysaccharides of the O-specific side chains, of the core oligosaccharides, and of the lipid A of the pseudotuberculosis microbeYersinia pseudotuberculosis which causes Far-Eastern scarlatina-like fever. The complete structures of the repeating units of the specific polysaccharides from the lipopolysaccharides of serovars I A, I B, III, IV A, V A, V B, and VI which are responsible for the O-antigenic specificity of the microorganism are given. For the majority of serovars the repeating unit is represented by a branched pentasaccharide. Exceptions are the lipopolysaccharides of serovars I A and III which have a tetrasaccharide repeating unit. The presence of an aminosugar residue at the reducing end, by which the O-specific chain is attached to the oligosaccharide of the core, is common and characteristic for the lipopolysaccharides isolated from all the serovars. The structures of the core oligosaccharide and of lipid A, which are common for all serovars ofYersinia pseudotuberculosis, are given.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Branch, USSR Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok.

Electrokinetic investigation of surfactant adsorption

Fuerstenau [D.W. Fuerstenau, in: M.L. Hair (Ed.), Dekker, New York, 1971, p. 143] has already discussed the role of hydrocarbon chain of surfactants, the effect of alkyl chain length, chain structure and the pH of the solution on the adsorption process of surfactants. Later Kosmulski [M. Kosmulski, Chemical Properties of Material Surfaces, Surfactant Science Series, vol. 102, Dekker, New York, Basel, 2001] included the effect of surfactant concentration, equilibration time, temperature and electrolyte in his approaches. Certainly, the character of the head groups of the surfactant and the properties of the adsorbent surface are the basis for the adsorption process. Different surfactants and adsorbents cause different adsorption mechanisms described firstly by Rosen [M.J. Rosen, Surfactants and Interfacial Phenomena, second ed., Wiley, New York, 1989]. These adsorption mechanisms and their influencing factors were studied by electrokinetic investigations. Here only changes of the charges at the surfaces could be detected. To control the results of electrokinetic investigations they were compared with results from ellipsometric measurements. In the case of surfactant adsorption the chain length was vitally important. It could be shown by the adsorption of alkyl trimethyl ammonium bromides onto polymer films spin coated at wafer surfaces. The influence of the chain length depending on surface properties of the polymer film was studied. Streaming potential measurements were applied for these investigations. The obtained results enabled us to calculate the molar cohesive free energy per mol of CH2-group in the alkaline chain of the surfactant if all other specific adsorption effects were neglected.     

Investigation of the electrophoretic composition of the proteins of cottonplant pollen grains

We have studied the proteins of the pollen and ovules of the cotton plant. No differences were observed in the electrophoregrams of the proteins from Gossypium hirsutum L. and from G. barbadense L. In the spectrum of the pollen proteins, the main components quantitatively were polypeptides with molecular masses of 34, 44, 47, and 52 kDa. The species G. raimondii Ulbr. differed considerably, with the main polypeptides quantitatively having molecular masses of 27, 36, 46, and 58 kDa. In representatives of genomic group C, interspecies differences were observed in the protein spectra of the pollen. No appreciable differences were observed spectrally in the proteins of the cottonplant ovules.Biolog Scientific Production Combine, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Republic of Uzbekistan, Institute of Genetics, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent ul.

Effect of Cr(VI) anions on adsorption and desorption behavior of Cu(II) in the colloidal systems of two authentic variable charge soils

Heavy metals in wastes exist as multiple pollutants. The study of the interactions between multiple pollutants and soils should be of significance in practice. In the present study, the effect of chromate on adsorption and desorption behavior of Cu(II) in two variable charge soils was investigated, with the emphasis on the adsorption and desorption equilibria of Cu(II). The results showed that chromate can affect adsorption and desorption of Cu(II) in the colloidal systems of two variable charge soils. The extent of the effect was related to the initial concentrations of chromate and Cu(II), the system pH, and the nature of the soils. The presence of chromate led to an increase in the adsorption of Cu(II). For example, in the presence of 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, and 1.5 mmol L(-1) of chromate, for the rhodic ferralsol the adsorption of Cu(II) increased by 15.3, 18.0, 19.0, and 20.2%, respectively. For the hyperrhodic ferrasol, the corresponding figures were 11.9, 17.0, 20.3, and 26.1%, respectively. The presence of chromate also caused an increase in the desorption of Cu(II). For instance, in the presence of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mmol L(-1) of chromate, the desorption for the rhodic ferralsol increased by 16.9, 27.5, and 34.1%, respectively. For the hyperrhodic ferralsol, the corresponding figures were 18.1, 35.6, and 51.4%, respectively. The increments of the adsorption and desorption increased with the increase in equilibrium concentration of Cu(II) in the solution. For instance, when the equilibrium concentrations were 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mmol L(-1), the increments for the rhodic ferralsol were 2.5, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.0 mmol kg(-1), respectively. For the hyperrhodic ferralsol, the corresponding figures were 2.9, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.2 mmol kg(-1), respectively. The effect of chromate for the hyperrhodic ferralsol was greater than that for the rhodic ferralsol. This is caused by the difference in the content of iron oxides for the two soils. The increments of the adsorption and the desorption of Cu(II) increased with the rise in pH, reaching a maximum value, and then decreased. It can be assumed that the increment of the adsorption was caused by the change in surface charge of the soils induced by the adsorption of chromate and the cooperative adsorption of chromate adsorbed and Cu(II). The increase of electrostatically adsorbed Cu(II) was responsible for the increase in the desorption of Cu(II).     

Adsorption of fatty acids from solutions in organic solvents on the surface of finely dispersed magnetite: 1. Isotherms of adsorption of oleic,linoleic, and linolenic acid from carbon tetrachloride and hexane

Isotherms of adsorption of oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids on magnetite from solutions in carbon tetrachloride and hexane are measured. When CCl₄ is used as a solvent, the adsorption values increase in the following order: oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid. In the case of hexane, the order is opposite. Adsorption isotherms of the fatty acids on aggregated magnetite are described in terms of the theory of volume filling of micropores. It is disclosed that, in the case of CCl₄ , the limiting adsorption values and characteristic energies of the process increase in a series: oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid, but in the case of hexane, they decrease in the same sequence. Upon the adsorption of fatty acids from solutions in CCl₄ and hexane on finely dispersed magnetite, molecules of the acids and solvents compete for the active sites on the adsorbent surface. The number of double bonds in the molecules of unsaturated fatty acids and the desolvation of both the adsorbent surface and adsorbate molecules substantially affect the adsorption of these acids. The effect of the solvents is most pronounced for the adsorption of oleic acid, decreasing with a rise in the number of double bonds in a fatty acid molecule.Translated from Kolloidnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 66, No. 6, 2004, pp. 779–783.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Korolev, Ramazanova, Yashkova, Balmasova, Blinov.     

Preparation of high-quality colloidal mask for nanosphere lithography by a combination of air/water interface self-assembly and solvent vapor annealing

Nanosphere lithography (NSL) has been regarded as an inexpensive, inherently parallel, high-throughput, materials-general approach to the fabrication of nanoparticle arrays. However, the order of the resulting nanoparticle array is essentially dependent on the quality of the colloidal monolayer mask. Furthermore, the lateral feature size of the nanoparticles created using NSL is coupled with the diameter of the colloidal spheres, which makes it inconvenient for studying the size-dependent properties of nanoparticles. In this work, we demonstrate a facile approach to the fabrication of a large-area, transferrable, high-quality latex colloidal mask for nanosphere lithography. The approach is based on a combination of the air/water interface self-assembly method and the solvent-vapor-annealing technique. It enables the fabrication of colloidal masks with a higher crystalline integrity compared to those produced by other strategies. By manipulating the diameter of the colloidal spheres and precisely tuning the solvent-vapor-annealing process, flexible control of the size, shape, and spacing of the interstice in a colloidal mask can be realized, which may facilitate the broad use of NSL in studying the size-, shape-, and period-dependent optical, magnetic, electronic, and catalytic properties of nanomaterials.
