A novel magnetic poly(aniline-naphthylamine)-based nanocomposite for micro solid phase extraction of rhodamine B

A novel Fe₃O₄–poly(aniline-naphthylamine)-based nanocomposite was synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization process as a magnetic sorbent for micro solid phase extraction. The scanning electron microscopy images of the synthesized nanocomposite revealed that the copolymer posses a porous structure with diameters less than 50 nm. The extraction efficiency of this sorbent was examined by isolation of rhodamine B, a mutagenic and carcinogenic dye, from aquatic media in dispersion mode. Among different synthesized polymers, Fe₃O₄/poly(aniline-naphthylamine) nanocomposite showed a prominent efficiency. Parameters including the desorption solvent, amount of sorbent, desorption time, sample pH, ionic strength, extraction time and stirring rate were optimized. Under the optimum condition, a linear spiked calibration curve in the range of 0.35–5.00 μg L⁻¹ with R² = 0.9991 was obtained. The limits of detection (3S_b) and limits of quantification (10S_b) of the method were 0.10 μg L⁻¹ and 0.35 μg L⁻¹ (n = 3), respectively. The relative standard deviation for water sample with 0.5 μg L⁻¹ of RhB was 4.2% (n = 5) and the absolute recovery was 92%. The method was applied for the determination of rhodamine B in dishwashing foam, dishwashing liquid, shampoo, pencil, matches tips and eye shadows samples and the relative recovery percentage were in the range of 94–99%.     

Initiating efficiency of poly(ethylene glycol)-based initiators for transition metal mediated living radical polymerisation

The kinetics of the copper mediated living radical polymerisation of methyl methacrylate initiated by [poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether]-based initiators (MeOPEG) of various molecular weights was followed by ¹H NMR. The initiator efficiency of the macroinitiators was investigated. It was found that temperature and solvent have little effect on the reactivity of the macroinitiator, whilst chain length affects greatly the MeOPEG initiating efficiency. Steric hindrance is thought to be a main drawback, as difficult access of the monomer to the MeOPEG active chain-end and coordination of the copper catalyst to the MeOPEG chains can prevent the monomer to react with the macroinitiator.     

Sequence Distribution of Poly(methyl acrylate) by Incremental Calculation

The carbonyl signal in the 100 MHz ¹³C NMR spectra of poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) recorded in benzene-d₆ exhibits configurational sensitivity up to pentads, and the signal of backbone β-CH₂ carbons shows splitting up to configurational hexads with traces of octads. Assignment of the sequences to respective signals was confirmed by computer simulation of both carbonyl and methylene signals applying a method of incremental calculation of chemical shifts of individual sequences and second-order Markov statistics for sequence probabilities.     

Development of a Poly(vinyl chloride)-based Nitrate Ion-selective Electrode

The authors developed a nitrate ion-selective electrode(ISE) based on poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC) membrane with methyltrioctylammonium nitrate as a carrier and 1-decanol as a plasticizer. The performance of the nitrate-sensitive membranes was optimized by tuning the composition of components. The electrode exhibits a linear response with a Nernstian slope of (52±1.0) mV per decade for the nitrate ion concentration ranging from 5.8×10^-5 mol/L to 1.0 mol/L. The electrode can be used to detect a low concentration of nitrate ions down to 3×10^-5 mol/L in a pH range of 2.1-11.5 without any compensation. The advantage of the electrode includes simple preparation, short response time and good repeatability. The detection performance of the novel electrode on nitrate ions has been tested for water samples.     

Poly(DMI-1, 2-Diazinediylethene-l, 2-Diols)

Oligomers of 2 to 9 units having a diazinediylethene-1, 2-diol repeating unit have been prepared by a cyanide ion-catalyzed self-condensation of pyridazine-3, 6-, pyrazine-2, 5-, or pyrimidine-4, 6-dialdehyde. These are the first known representatives of a class of conjugated polymeric enediol materials derivable specifically from these three structurally related diazine dialdehydes. The oligomers, isolated as their potassium salts, are soluble in acid and base with an isoelectric point at pH 6.5. In base, they give dark red-brown solutions whose color, attributable to their semidione ion radical form, is rapidly discharged by oxygen (air) or by the addition of ferric ion, which gives an immediate precipitation of the black chelate. Of several possible methods evaluated for the preparation of the free dialdehydes, only that involving ozonization of the distyryldiazines was found to be of preparative value.     

Poly (ethylene terephthalate) thermo-mechanical and thermo-oxidative degradation mechanisms

¹H NMR and MALDI-TOF MS measurements were used to study the thermo-mechanical and thermo-oxidative degradation mechanisms of bottle-grade PET (btg-PET). In the thermo-oxidative degradation, the concentration of low molar mass compounds increased with time and the main products were cyclic and linear di-acid oligomers. In the thermo-mechanical degradation, the main-chain scission reactions affect the stability of the cyclic oligomers. One of the most important bottle-grade PET co-monomers is diethylene glycol (DEG), which is a “reactive site” in the thermal degradation of btg-PET. The DEG co-monomer was shown to be the precursor to colour changes in btg-PET, owing to the attack by molecular oxygen on the methylenic protons adjacent to the ether oxygen atoms of DEG. This behaviour was observed in the thermo-oxidative degradation process in which the degradation of DEG causes the release of hydroxyl radicals in the polymeric matrix, thereby producing mono- and di-hydroxyl substituted species. This was also observed in the thermo-mechanical degradation process.     

ESR imaging and FTIR study of thermally treated poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) (ABS) containing a hindered amine stabilizer: Effect of polymer morphology, and butadiene and stabilizer content

Electron spin resonance imaging (ESRI) was applied to the study of thermal degradation at 393 K of poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) (ABS) prepared by emulsion polymerization and containing 25% wt butadiene (ABS-25B). The polymer was doped with 1 or 2% wt Tinuvin 770 as the hindered amine stabilizer (HAS). The spatial distribution of the HAS-derived nitroxide radicals, obtained by 1D ESRI, was initially homogeneous, but became heterogeneous through sample depth with increasing treatment time, t. The spatial variation of ESR line shaping with sample depth was visualized by 2D spectral-spatial ESRI. ESR spectra along the sample depth, obtained by nondestructive (“virtual”) slicing of the 2D images, were used to deduce the relative intensity of nitroxide radicals present in two dynamically distinct sites; the sites were assigned to butadiene-rich (fast component) and SAN-rich domains (slow component), respectively. 1D and 2D ESRI allowed the determination of the extent of degradation within morphologically-distinct domains as a function of sample depth and treatment time. The results from the ESRI experiments were substantiated by attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-FTIR spectroscopy of the outer layer (500 μm thick) of the polymer. Both techniques indicated faster degradation of polymer samples that contained the higher HAS content, 2% wt. Comparison with the results obtained for a parallel study of ABS prepared by mass polymerization and containing 10% wt butadiene (ABS-10B) indicated clearly that the rate of degradation of the polymer prepared by emulsion polymerization (ABS-25B) is significantly reduced. This result can be explained by the formation of cross-linked “composite” networks during emulsion polymerization, which leads to greater thermal stability.     

Poly(basic ionic liquid) coated magnetic nanoparticles: High-loaded supported basic ionic liquid catalyst

A novel poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) coated magnetic nanoparticle was synthesized by distillation-precipitation-polymerization of 1-vinyl-3- ethyl imidazolium in the presence of surface modified magnetic nanoparticles. The resulting catalyst was used as magnetic heterogeneous base catalyst for the synthesis of 4H-benzo[b]pyrans in water. The separation of the catalyst from the reaction mixture was readily achieved by simple magnetic decantation and the catalyst could be easily recycled without appreciable loss of catalytic activity. Because of polymer layers coated the surface of the magnetic nanoparticles, the catalyst has a high loading level of ionic liquid.     

Iron hydroxide nanoparticles coated with poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(aspartic acid) block copolymer as novel magnetic resonance contrast agents for in vivo cancer imaging

PEG-coated β-FeOOH nanoparticles were prepared through electrostatic complex formation of iron oxide nanoparticles with poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(aspartic acid) block copolymer [PEG-P(Asp)] in distilled water. By dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurement, the nanopaticle size was determined to be 70 nm with narrow distribution. The FT-IR and zeta potential experimental results proved that PEG-PAsp molecules bound to the surface of the iron oxide nanoparticles via the coordination between the carboxylic acid residues in the PAsp segment of the block copolymer and the surface Fe of the β-FeOOH nanoparticles. The PEG-coated nanoparticles revealed excellent solubility and stability in aqueous solution as well as in physiological saline. In vivo MRI experiments on tumor-bearing mice demonstrated that the PEG-coated nanoparticles prepared by the current approach achieved an appreciable accumulation into solid tumor, suggesting their potential utility as tumor-selective MRI contrast agents.     

The assessment of miscibility and morphology of poly(ε-caprolactone) and poly(para-chlorostyrene) blends

The miscibility and morphology of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCl) and poly(para-chlorostyrene) (PpClS) blend were investigated by using thermal analysis, morphological analysis, viscometry, and the study of melting point depression. A single glass transition temperature was observed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for PCl/PpClS blends in the whole compositional range (0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 62.5/37.5, 75/25, 90/10). Morphology of the polymers and their blends was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The Fourier transform infrared spectra of the samples were obtained by spectrometer. Up to 12 cm⁻¹ shifts in carbonyl stretching band of PCl was detected in the spectra of PpClS rich blends. The viscosity of PCl, PpClS and their blends has also been studied to investigate the miscibility according the miscibility criteria Δb, and Δ[η]. Using this data, the interaction parameters α and μ, based on the Chee and Sun et al. approaches were determined. These criteria indicated that the blend is miscible in all proportions up to 90% of PCl content in the blends. The melting point depression of PCl in the blends was examined to obtain the interaction parameter, χ₁₂ for this system. The parameter, χ₁₂ was found to be composition dependent. Negative values of the obtained interaction parameter also support the miscibility of this system up to the 90% PCl in the blend.

Poly(amino acid)-based thermoresponsive molecularly imprinted magnetic nanoparticles for specific recognition and release of lysozyme

In this study, poly(amino acid)-based thermoresponsive molecularly imprinted magnetic nanoparticles for recognition and release of lysozyme was prepared via surface imprinting method. For constructing the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) layer, amino acid-based thermoresponsive monomer (N-methacryloyl-l-alanine methyl ester, MA-L-Ala-OMe) was mainly selected for the functional monomer along with N,N′-methylenebis(acrylamide) as the crosslinker. The resultant magnetic MIP nanoparticles were characterized in detail. Meanwhile, the dynamic light scattering studies and swelling ratios measurements were carried out for demonstrating the thermoresponsive property of the imprinted nanoparticles. The prepared magnetic MIP nanoparticles showed good adsorption capacity and selective recognition properties to lysozyme. Moreover, the fast adsorption process could reach equilibrium within 15 min. Importantly, the capture and release of lysozyme could be easily realized simply by altering the temperature of aqueous solution. Furthermore, the prepared imprinted nanoparticles were applied to separate lysozyme from the real egg white samples. The results proved that the thermoresponsive MIPs based on MA-L-Ala-OMe have great potential for selectively enriching target proteins in real samples.     

Synthesis and characterization of Cu(II) paddlewheel complexes possessing fluorinated carboxylate ligands

The goal of this study was to establish the relationship between the ¹⁹F NMR line broadening and the varying distance between the ¹⁹F nucleus and copper(II) ion, with the aim of gathering data that can be used to interpret ¹⁹F NMR spectra of subsequent fluorine-labeled, copper-binding proteins. Fluorinated alkyl and aryl copper(II) carboxylates were synthesized from fluorinated carboxylic acids and Cu(OH)₂. The copper(II) carboxylates were characterized using ¹⁹F NMR, IR, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the alkyl carboxylate compounds, the line broadening and chemical shift lessened with increased distance between the fluorine atom and the copper ions; however, in the aryl carboxylate derivatives, increased distance was not a factor in the amount of line broadening or change in chemical shift between the acid and metal salt. The compound, bis(3-(trifluoromethyl)butyrate) copper(II) (5) was found to possess the optimum combination of decreased line broadening and increased chemical shift sensitivity in ¹⁹F NMR. The crystal structures obtained for compounds 1, 2, 4, and 6 were analogous to previous copper(II) carboxylate complexes, though it is noted that compound 6, bis(5,5,5-trifluoropentanoate) copper(II) assumes a tetrameric structure lacking apical ligands, and thus enables the formation of an extended network of near-neighbor copper(II) ions.     

Synthesis and properties of novel poly(p-phenylenevinylene) copolymers for near-infrared emitting diodes

A series of novel near-infrared (NIR) electroluminescence (EL) copolymers based on a host poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) derivative of poly(2-methoxy-5-octyloxy-p-phenylenevinylene) (PMOPV) with different content of narrow band-gap (NBG) unit 4,7-bis(2-thienyl)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazolevinylene (DBTV) or 4,7-bis(2-thienyl)-2,1,3-benzoselenadiazolevinylene (TBSV) was prepared by Stille coupling reaction. All the copolymers are soluble in common organic solvents, most of which emit NIR light accompanied by gradually red-shifting with increasing the content of the NBG units. The peak EL emission of the copolymers with around 30% TBSV content is at about 800 nm.     

Molecular weight effect on the complexation of poly(methacrylic acid) and poly(ethylene oxide) as studied by high-resolution solid-state C NMR spectroscopy

Complexes of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with different PEO molecular weight were studied by solid-state high-resolution ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, with the emphasis on the PEO molecular weight effect on inter-polymer interaction, morphology and molecular motion. It is found that the crystalline phase of PEO is completely destroyed in the complex. The results of ¹H transverse relaxation times and ¹³C spin-lattice relaxation times indicate that the chain mobility of both PEO and PMAA are greatly restricted by inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding interactions, especially when the molecular weight of PEO is 1500. The bulk structures of the complexes are found to be closely dependent on the molecular weight of PEO. The fraction of “free” PEO segments without forming hydrogen-bonds with PMAA increases with increasing PEO molecular weight.     

Chemical recycling of poly(lactic acid)-based polymer blends using environmentally benign catalysts

Typical poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA)-based polymer blends, PLLA/polyethylene (PE) and PLLA/poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), were degraded into each repolymerizable oligomer using environmentally benign catalysts, clay catalysts and enzymes, with the objective of developing a selective chemical recycling process. Two routes to selective chemical recycling of PLLA/PE blend were tested. One is the direct separation of PLLA and PE first by their different solubilities in toluene, followed by the chemical recycling of PLLA using montmorillonite K5 (MK5). The other is the selective degradation of PLLA in the PLLA/PE blend by MK5 in a toluene solution at 100 °C for 1 h forming the LA oligomer with a molecular weight of M_n = 200-300 g/mol, which is the best M_n for repolymerization. Thus regenerated PLLA had a M_w of greater than 100,000 g/mol. The PE remained unchanged and was quantitatively recovered by the reprecipitation method for material recycling. In a similar procedure, chemical recycling of PLLA/PBS blend was also carried out and compared by two routes. One is the direct separation of PLLA and PBS by solubility in toluene. The other route is the sequential degradation of PLLA/PBS blend using a lipase first to degrade PBS into cyclic oligomer, which was then repolymerized to produce a PBS. Next, PLLA was degraded into repolymerizable LA oligomer by MK5. The former procedure was carried out using a single solvent; however, the latter required mixed solvents, which decreased the efficient recycling use of solvents.     

Detection of Galactose and Lactose by a Poly(Amphiphilic Pyrrole)-Galactose Oxidase Electrode

Abstract

The entrapment of galactose oxidase (GAO) on an electrode surface by coadsorption with a cationic amphiphilic pyrrole and electropolymerization of this pyrrole monomer is described. This simple and rapid procedure for biosensor construction provides very fast responsive and sensitive GAO-based sensors to galactose and lactose. The electrode response is based on the electrochemical detection of enzymically generated hydrogen peroxide. The stability, optimum pH and selectivity of the bioelectrode as well as the characteristics of the immobilized galactose oxidase have been determined. Poly(amphiphilic pyrrole) films have been electrogenerated on the surface of the bioelectrode and the effect of such additional coatings on the biosensor selectivity have also been examined.
