Macroporous cellulose beads (MCB) used as anion exchangers were successfully prepared from cellulose solution in ionic liquid by double emulsification followed by cross-linking and modification with diethylaminoethyl. The pore structure and properties of the MCB were investigated and the results were compared with homogeneous cellulose beads (HCB). The MCB in size of about 71 μm is characterized by two sets of pores, i.e., diffusion pores (10–20 nm) and macropores (800–2000 nm), determined by mercury porosimeter. In addition, the bed permeability and effective porosity for BSA of MCB-packed column are 58% and 25% higher than those of HCB-packed column, respectively. The adsorption properties of MCB were evaluated, and compared with HCB and commercial absorbent (Sepharose 6 Fast Flow, CSFF). It is found that the pore diffusivity of BSA in MCB is over 7.9 times higher than HCB, and 6.7 times higher than CSFF, respectively. While the equilibrium adsorption capacity (qm) of BSA on MCB is obviously lower than that on HCB and CSFF, the dynamic binding capacity (DBC) on MCB at 10% breakthrough reaches 47.7 mg/mL, higher than HCB (40.3 mg/mL) and CSFF (46.2 mg/mL) at flow rate of 360 cm/h. In addition, the MCB-packed column showed better column efficiency over the HCB packed one. Therefore, we demonstrated that the MCB possessed more advantages than other ones, like HCB and CSFF, and was expected as an ideal material for fast chromatography. 相似文献
The wrinkling of phase-separated binary polymer blend film was studied through combining the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation for
morphologies with the lattice spring model (LSM) for mechanical properties. The information of morphology and structure obtained
by use of MC simulation is input to the LSM composed of a three-dimensional network of springs, which allows us to determine
the wrinkling and the mechanical properties of polymer blend film, such as strain, stress, and Young’s modulus. The simulated
results show that the wrinkling of phase-separated binary polymer blend film is related not only to the structure of morphology,
but also to the disparity in elastic moduli between polymers of blend. Our simulation results provide fundamental insight
into the relationship between morphology, wrinkling, and mechanical properties for phase-separated polymer blend films and
can yield guidelines for formulating blends with the desired mechanical behavior. The wrinkling results also reveal that the
stretching of the phase-separated film can form the micro-template, which has a wide application prospect. 相似文献
Polymeric membranes based on cellulose acetate (CA)--sulfonated polysulfone blends at three different polymer compositions were prepared by solution blending and phase inversion technique, characterized and subjected to annealing at 70, 80 and 90 °C. The permeate water flux, separation of bovine serum albumin and its flux by the blend membranes before and after thermal treatment, have been compared and discussed. Similarly, CA and epoxy resin (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A) were blended in various compositions, in the presence and in the absence of polyethyleneglycol 600 as non-solvent additive, using N,N′-dimethylformamide as solvent, and used for preparing ultraflltration membranes by phase inversion technique. The polymer blend composition, additive concentration, casting and gelation conditions were optimized. Blend membranes were characterized in terms of compaction, pure water flux, water content and membrane resistance. The effects of polymer blend composition and additive concentration on the above parameters were determined and the results are discussed. 相似文献
Chitosan and konjac glucomannan (KGM) blend fibers were prepared by spinning their solution through a viscose‐type spinneret into a coagulating bath containing aqueous sodium hydroxide and ethanol. The structure and properties of the blend fibers were studied with the aids of infrared spectra (IR), scanning electron micrography (SEM) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The structure analysis indicated that there were strong interaction and good miscibility between the chitosan and KGM molecule which resulted from intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Mechanical properties and water‐retention properties were measured. Through controlling blend conditions, blend fibers can obtain better mechanical properties than the pure chitosan fiber. The water‐retention values (WRV) of blend fibers increase as the amount of KGM is raised. The fibers treated with alcoholic solution of acetic acid have good antibacterial activity to Staphylococcus aureus. 相似文献
Porous polymer membranes made via electrostatic complexation are fabricated from a water‐soluble poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) for the first time. The porous structure is formed as a consequence of simultaneous phase separation of the PIL and ionic complexation with an acid, which occurred in a basic solution of a nonsolvent for the PIL. These membranes have a stimuli‐responsive porosity, with open and closed pores in isopropanol and in water, respectively. This property is quantitatively demonstrated in filtration experiments, where water is passing much slower through the membranes than isopropanol.
The phase separation of ionic liquids (ILs) in water is studied by laser light scattering (LLS). For the ILs with longer alkyl chains, such as [C(8)mim]BF(4) and [C(6)mim]BF(4) (mim = methylimidazolium), macroscopic phase separation occurs in the mixture with water. LLS also reveals the coexistence of the mesoscopic phase, the size of which is in the order of 100-800 nm. In aqueous mixtures of ILs with shorter alkyl chains, such as [C(4)mim]BF(4), only the mesoscopic phase exists. The mesoscopic phase can be effectively removed by filtration through a 0.22 μm filter. However, it reforms with time and can be enhanced by lowering the temperature, thus indicating that it is controlled by thermodynamics. The degree of mesoscopic phase separation can be used to evaluate the miscibility of ILs with water. This study helps to optimize the applications of ILs in related fields, as well as the recycling of ILs in the presence of water. 相似文献
Recently, pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the water environment exhibited potential risks to both human and aquatic organisms. In order to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of pharmaceutical detection, the polyimidazolyl acetate ionic liquid was synthesized by Radziszewski reaction and coated on cellulose filter papers as a thin-film extraction phase for extraction of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs from water. The attenuated total reflection-infrared spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscope analyses demonstrated that the polyimidazolyl acetate ionic liquid was successfully prepared and attached to the surface of the cellulose filter paper through chemical bonding. The adsorption capacity of the homemade thin-film extraction material for the four non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs was greater than 8898 ng/cm2 under the optimum conditions, and the desorption rate was over 90%. Then, a paper-based thin-film extraction phase-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was established for the extraction of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in water. This method provided limits of detection and limits of quantification were in the range of 0.02–0.15 and 0.17–0.50 μg/L, respectively. Hence, the obtained thin-film extraction phase showed excellent recovery and reproducibility for the target non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with carboxyl groups from water. 相似文献
An ionic liquid/aqueous two-phase system based on the hydrophilic ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BmimCl) and K(2)HPO(4) has been employed for direct extraction of proteins from human body fluids for the first time. Proteins present at low levels were quantitatively extracted into the BmimCl-rich upper phase with a distribution ratio of about 10 between the upper and lower phase and an enrichment factor of 5. Addition of an appropriate amount of K(2)HPO(4) to the separated upper phase results in a further phase separation, giving rise to an improved enrichment factor of 20. FTIR and UV spectroscopy demonstrated that no chemical (bonding) interactions between the ionic liquid and the protein functional groups were identifiable, while no alterations of the natural properties of the proteins were observed. The partitioning of proteins in the two-phase system was assumed to have been facilitated by the electrostatic potential difference between the coexisting phases, as well as by salting out effects. The system could be applied successfully for the quantification of proteins in human urine after on-line phase separation in a flow system. The use of an ionic liquid, as a green solvent, offers clear advantages over traditional liquid-liquid extractions, in which the use of toxic organic solvents is unavoidable. 相似文献
Cellulose is one of the most abundant natural polymer sources, but the applications of cellulose are limited due to difficulty in dissolving cellulose in water and common chemical solvents. In the past decades, ionic liquids have been studied to dissolve cellulose efficiently, sustainably, and in an eco‐friendly manner. In this study, a series of imidazolium‐based ionic liquids were synthesized to explore as solvents for cellulose, including 1,3‐dimethylimidazolium dimethylphosphate ([mmim]dmp), 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium dimethylphosphate ([emim]dmp), 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium dimethylphosphate ([bmim]dmp), 1‐hexyl‐3‐methylimidazolium dimethylphosphate ([hmim]dmp), 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium diethylphosphate ([emim]dep), 1,3‐diethylimidazolium diethylphosphate ([eeim]dep), and 1‐butyl‐3‐ethylimidazolium diethylphosphate ([beim]dep). Rheology experiments were conducted to study the flow behavior of cellulose in these ionic liquids and cosolvents. We found that the dissolution capacity of cellulose increases with decreasing viscosity of the solvent and that the rheological properties depend most strongly on the concentration of cellulose dissolved. Systems composed of cellulose in [mmim]dmp, [emim]dmp, and [emim]dep behave as viscoelastic gels, while formulations of cellulose in [bmim]dmp, [hmim]dmp, [eeim]dep, and [beim]dep show viscoelastic liquid behavior. These results will impact development of new solvents for processing of cellulose‐based polymeric materials. 相似文献
