纤维素/聚硅氧烷离子液体混合气相色谱固定相的制备

纤维素是液相色谱中应用十分广泛的一类固定相,可是由于涂渍性能不佳,纤维素在气相色谱中的应用鲜有报道。本论文首先通过酯化反应合成了脂溶性较好的三醋酸纤维素（CTA）,然后与自制的聚硅氧烷离子液体（PIL-C12-NTf₂）混配,制备了含纤维素的气相色谱固定相（CTA@PIL-C12-NTf₂）,并涂渍了毛细管柱。其柱效为3165 plates/m（110 ℃,萘,k=4.95）。麦氏常数及溶剂化参数模型的测试结果证明,该固定相属中强极性固定相,主要作用力是氢键碱性作用和偶极作用。值得注意的是,引入纤维素可明显改善三取代芳香化合物位置异构体及壬烷（C9）同分异构体的分离选择性。此外,该固定相对正构烷烃、醇、脂肪酸酯及邻苯二甲酸酯等也具有良好的分离选择性。该研究不仅初步展现了纤维素在分离选择性上的特点,而且也为探索纤维素衍生物在气相色谱中的应用提供了一条新的途径。     

Properties and characterization of hydrophobized microfibrillated cellulose

Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) obtained by disintegration of bleached softwood sulphite pulp in a homogenizer, was hydrophobically modified by surface silylation with chlorodimethyl isopropylsilane (CDMIPS). The silylated MFC was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and white light interferometry (WLI). The degree of surface substitution (DSS) was determined using Si concentrations from XPS survey scans, as well as deconvoluted peaks in high-resolution C1s XPS spectra. The DSS values obtained by the two methods were found to be in good agreement. MFC with DSS between 0.6 and 1 could be dispersed in a non-flocculating manner into non-polar solvents, TEM observations showing that the material had kept its initial morphological integrity. However, when CDMIPS in excess of 5 mol CDMIPS/glucose unit in the MFC was used, partial solubilization of the MFC occurred, resulting in a drop in the observed DSS and a loss of the microfibrillar character of the material. The wetting properties of films cast from suspension of the silylated MFC were also investigated. The contact angles of water on the films increased with increasing DSS of the MFC, approaching the contact angles observed on super hydrophobic surfaces for the MFC with the highest degree of substitution. This is believed to originate from a combination of low surface energy and surface microstructure in the films.     

Occurrence of Both Sinusoidal and Zigzag Supermolecular Structures Associated with Band Textures in a Liquid Crystalline Polymer

Band textures are observed in a precipitation film from a presheared poly(1,4-phenylene terephthalamide) solution, a typical lyotropic main-chain polymeric liquid crystal. By polarized optical microscopy (POM) studies and in the same specimen system, both sinusoidal and zigzag supermolecular structures associated with band textures are found, according to the comparison between the experimental micrographs and the theoretical birefringence patterns. As a consequence, the present paper describes how to distinguish these two supermolecular structures merely by POM and demonstrates that both structure models are reasonable. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
