分子有序组合体

Wo.Ostwald称之为“被遗忘了尺寸的世界”的胶体中,由表面活性剂分子(或离子)构成的缔合胶体是最具特色的一类。它与高分子溶液一起同属于亲液胶体.不同之处在于后者的胶体质点即为高分子物本身,而缔合胶体质点则由许多表面活性剂分子或离子自相组合、聚集而成,并与溶液中的单体成平衡。此种表面活性剂分子或离子的聚集体称为胶团;胶团溶液即为缔合胶体体系.表面活性剂胶团的概念是本世纪初发展、建立起来的,但非一帆风顺.当J.W.McBain 1925年在伦敦的一次学术会议上提出胶态电解质(即离子胶团)概念时,仅有的讨论竟是会议主席的一句话:“胡说,McBain!”大量研究表明,热力学稳定的缔合胶体(胶团)存在是肯定的事实,而且胶团有多采多姿的缔合结构,有各式各样的独特性质和功能。

Solution-phase electronegativity scale: insight into the chemical behaviors of metal ions in solution

By incorporating the solvent effect into the Born effective radius, we have proposed an electronegativity scale of metal ions in aqueous solution with the most common oxidation states and hydration coordination numbers in terms of the effective ionic electrostatic potential. It is found that the metal ions in aqueous solution are poorer electron acceptors compared to those in the gas phase. This solution-phase electronegativity scale shows its efficiency in predicting some important properties of metal ions in aqueous solution such as the aqueous acidities of the metal ions, the stability constants of metal complexes, and the solubility product constants of the metal hydroxides. We have elaborated that the standard reduction potential and the solution-phase electronegativity are two different quantities for describing the processes of metal ions in aqueous solution to soak up electrons with different final states. This work provides a new insight into the chemical behaviors of the metal ions in aqueous solution, indicating a potential application of this electronegativity scale to the design of solution reactions.

Effects of denaturation on soy protein-xanthan interactions: comparison of a whipping-rheological and a bubbling method

The effect of xanthan on foam formation and on physical mechanisms of destabilization involved in the breakdown of foams made from native and denatured soy protein at neutral pH was studied by a bubbling and a whipping-rheological method. Parameters describing foam formation and destabilization by liquid drainage and disproportionation obtained by the two methods showed that the addition of xanthan was accompanied by delayed rates of drainage and disproportionation and reduced foam height decay (collapse). Drainage showed the largest reduction, mainly because of the increased bulk viscosity. In the absence of xanthan, protein denaturation enhanced foam formation and stability against drainage and disproportionation, but increased the collapse of foams. In the presence of xanthan, differences in foam formation and drainage/disproportionation stability between native and denatured soy protein were greatly reduced. However, differences in foam collapse were greatly enhanced. The increased stability of foams in the presence of xanthan could not be explained purely in terms of increased aqueous phase viscosity. More specific interactions of xanthan and soy proteins at the air-water interface influencing the surface rheology, and the protein composition and aggregation, are involved.     

A model electronic Hamiltonian to study low-lying electronic states of [Fe(bpy)3]2+ in aqueous solution

A simple model electronic Hamiltonian to describe the potential energy surfaces of several low-lying d-d states of the [Fe(bpy)(3)](2+) complex is developed for use in molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies. On the basis of a method proposed previously for first-row transition metal ions in aqueous solution, the model Hamiltonian is constructed using density functional theory calculations for the lowest singlet and quintet states. MD simulations are then carried out for the two spin states in aqueous solution in order to examine the performance of the model Hamiltonian. The simulation results indicate that the present model electronic Hamiltonian reasonably describes the potential energy surfaces of the two spin states of the aqueous [Fe(bpy)(3)](2+) system, while retaining sufficient simplicity for application in simulation studies on excited state dynamics.     

Effect of Xanthan Gum on the Performance of Aqueous Film-Forming Foam

Solution properties of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) formulations containing different xanthan gum contents were investigated first by varying the mass fraction of xanthan gum in the range of 0.1–0.5%. Foam properties and fire-extinguishing performance of the AFFF formulations were then evaluated. Results indicated that xanthan gum content slightly affected surface tension of foam solutions. However, xanthan gum significantly affected viscosity of AFFF concentrates. Foaming of the AFFF formulations was hardly affected by xanthan gum, but foam stability of the compounds was obviously enhanced with the addition of xanthan gum. Optimal xanthan gum content was determined as 0.3%, which resulted in the shortest 90% control time and fire extinguishment time. Burnback time of foams increased with the addition of xanthan gum because of the enhanced foam stability.     

Rheological properties of water-soluble cross-linked xanthan gum

Water-soluble crossslinked xanthan gum (CXG) was prepared from xanthan gum (XG) and epichlorohydrin under alkaline condition by ethanol solvent method. Rheological properties and heat resistance performance of different concentrations of aqueous XG and CXG solutions were investigated. The results showed that the apparent viscosity of 4 g · L^?1 CXG solution was 2.57 times that of 4 g · L^?1 XG solution. The storage modulus G′ and the loss modulus G″ of CXG solutions were greater than those of XG solutions, and viscoelastic and thixotropic properties were more significant in CXG solutions. At 80°C, these two solutions were sheared at 170 s^?1 for 90 minutes, the reserved viscosity was 32.30 and 62.15 mPa · s for XG and CXG solutions, respectively. The heat resistance performance of CXG solution was better than that of XG solution. Nonlinear co-rotational Jeffreys model could be applied to describe the flow curves of XG and CXG solutions correctly, and the calculated values were in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Physical properties of xanthan,galactomannan and their mixtures in aqueous solutions

Some new information on the conformation of xanthan in aqueous solutions is given. A single helical chain conformation characterizes xanthan in the native state. When heated over the critical temperature for conformational change ( helixŕ coil), the xanthan is denatured and renatured when it is cooled down in a localy double helical structure. A galactomannan was also characterized and its persistence length was obtained (Lp ≈︁ 90A°). Then mixtures of the galactomannan and xanthan were investigated to propose a mechanism for the specific gelation. From the results of microcalorimetry and circular dichroism, it is concluded that a complex is formed between one disordered xanthan chain and one galactomannan chain and that an ordered conformation is stabilized at temperatures lower than 25°C when the galactomannan has a M/G ratio of ≈︁ 3. This temperature corresponds to the sol-gel transition. This is the first time that a structure of the crosslink points is demonstrated.     

Co-gelation mechanism of xanthan and galactomannan

Synergistic gelation of dilute (0.1% total gums) mixed solutions of xanthan and galactomannan isolated from seeds of Delonix regia was investigated. Gelation occurred in a mixed solution of xanthan and galactomannan at 0.1% total gums at room temperature (25 °C). The flow curves of mixed solutions of native xanthan and galactomannan showed plastic behavior. The maximum elastic modulus was obtained when the ratio of the xanthan to galactomannan was 2:1 at room temperature (25 °C). The largest elastic modulus was observed in the mixture solution of deacetylated xanthan. However, a small elastic modulus was obtained in the mixture with depyruvated xanthan. The results obtained supported the interaction mechanism between xanthan and galactomannan (locust bean gum) previously proposed, and the pyruvate methyl groups might also take part in the interaction.
