A randomized complete block design 2 × 4 experiment was designed and conducted for 15 weeks to characterize the relationships between production of total phenolics, flavonoid, anthocyanin, leaf gas exchange, total chlorophyll, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and malondialdehyde (MDA) activity in two varieties of Labisia pumila Benth, namely the var. alata and pumila, under four levels of evapotranspiration replacement (ER) (100%; well watered), (75%, moderate water stress), (50%; high water stress) and (25%; severe water stress). The production of total phenolics, flavonoids, anthocyanin, soluble sugar and relative leaf water content was affected by the interaction between varieties and SWC. As the ER levels decreased from 100% to 25%, the production of PAL and MDA activity increased steadily. At the highest (100%) ER L. pumila exhibited signi?cantly higher net photosynthesis, apparent quantum yield, maximum efficiency of photosystem II (f(v)/f(m)) and lower dark respiration rates compared to the other treatment. The production of total phenolics, flavonoids and anthocyanin was also found to be higher under high water stress (50% ER replacement) compared to severe water stress (25% ER). From this study, it was observed that as net photosynthesis, apparent quantum yield and chlorophyll content were downregulated under high water stress the production of total phenolics, flavonoids and anthocyanin were upregulated implying that the imposition of high water stress can enhance the medicinal properties of L. pumila Benth. 相似文献

Kacip Fatimah (Labisia pumila Blume), one of the most famous and widely used herbs, especially in Southeast Asia, is found to have interesting bioactive compounds and displays health promoting properties. In this study, the antioxidant activities of the methanol extracts of leaves, stems and roots of three varieties of L. pumila (var. alata, pumila and lanceolata) were evaluated in an effort to compare and validate the medicinal potential of this indigenous Malaysian herb species. The antioxidant activity determined by the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, as well as the total amount of phenolics and flavonoids were the highest in the leaves, followed by the stems and roots in all the varieties. A similar trend was displayed by the ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) activity, suggesting that the L. pumila varieties possess high foliar antioxidant properties. At low FRAP activity concentrations, the values of the leaves' inhibition activity in the three varieties were significantly higher than those of the stems and roots, with var. alata exhibiting higher antioxidant activities and total contents of phenolics and flavonoids compared to the varieties pumila and lanceolata. The high production of secondary metabolites and antioxidant activities in var. alata were firmly related to low nitrogen content and high C/N ratio in plant parts. The study also demonstrated a positive correlation between secondary metabolite content and antioxidant activities, and revealed that the consumption of L. pumila could exert several beneficial effects by virtue of its antioxidant activity. 相似文献

A split plot 3 by 3 experiment was designed to investigate and distinguish the relationships among production of primary metabolites (soluble sugar and starch), secondary metabolites (total phenolics, TP; total flavonoids, TF) and leaf gas exchange of three varieties of the Malaysian medicinal herb Labisia pumila Blume, namely the varieties alata, pumila and lanceolata, under three levels of CO? enrichment (400, 800 and 1,200 μmol mol?1) for 15 weeks. The treatment effects were solely contributed by CO? enrichment levels; no varietal differences were observed. As CO? levels increased from 400 to 1,200 μmol mol?1, the production of carbohydrates also increased steadily, especially for starch more than soluble sugar (sucrose). TF and TP content, simultaneously, reached their peaks under 1,200 μmol exposure, followed by 800 and 400 μmol mol?1. Net photosynthesis (A) and quantum efficiency of photosystem II (f(v)/f(m)) were also enhanced as CO? increased from 400 to 1,200 μmol mol?1. Leaf gas exchange characteristics displayed a significant positive relationship with the production of secondary metabolites and carbohydrate contents. The increase in production of TP and TFs were manifested by high C/N ratio and low protein content in L. pumila seedlings, and accompanied by reduction in cholorophyll content that exhibited very significant negative relationships with total soluble sugar, starch and total non structural carbohydrate. 相似文献

Synthesis of associating poly(acrylic acid) in supercritical carbon dioxide and its solution properties 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Hydrophobically associating polymers have been synthesized in supercritical carbon dioxide by copolymerization of acrylic acid with different amounts of acrylate with hydrocarbon or fluorocarbon groups. It was found that conversion of hydrocarbon comonomers was above 95% whereas that for fluorocarbon comonomers was only about 50%. In addition, large amounts of hydrophobic groups could be easily introduced to poly(acrylic acid) by reaction in supercritical carbon dioxide. The solution properties were investigated by rheology. The results indicated that intermolecular association of the copolymer was strong and viscosity was maximum under acidic conditions. In aqueous solutions fluorocarbon hydrophobes associated much more strongly than the hydrocarbon variety, but the viscosifying effect of PAAC-18 series copolymers in 2% (w/w) solution was more pronounced than that of the PAAF series, results which did not agree with the conclusions of Ravey and Stébé. It was also found that the thixotropy behavior of copolymer solution at pH 3.2 was more complex than that at pH 5.0, at which pseudoplasticity only was observed for solutions of all copolymers. Contact angles of copolymer solutions on a glass sheet were measured. The data indicated that contact angles of hydrocarbon-modified polymers were smaller than those of fluorocarbon analogues. As time passed the contact angle became smaller and smaller. Fluorocarbon analogues were better than hydrocarbon analogues, and longer hydrophobic chains were better than shorter chains, at maintaining the hydrophobic character of the surface. 相似文献

It has been established from geological studies that change in the atmospheric content of carbon dioxide gas commenced about one hundred million years ago. The likely origin of this change is advanced as being the onset of the Brewer circulation caused by the rise in terrain induced by tectonic plate movement. It is demonstrated that tectonic plate movement can be affected by impacts from external bodies which penetrate the crust of the Earth. The consequences of the change in atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide are proposed as first, extinctions and reductions in animal numbers, including primates, as a result of changes in body chemistry of these animals and second, a change in the rate of weathering of rocks giving rise to changes in the availability of chemicals such as calcium and potassium which are essential for plant and animal life. This latter change contributing to the extinctions and reductions in animal numbers. It is shown that the change in weathering can account for the rise to dominance of angiosperm plants. It is concluded that there were several simultaneous evolutionary environments on Earth which were a function of altitude which gave rise to a vertical variation in atmospheric content of carbon dioxide. This variation disappeared with rise of terrain and the onset of the Brewer circulation. Such changes are advanced and being much more important than any changes in temperature caused by greenhouse effects since the disappearance of atmospheric variations in carbon dioxide allowed animal migration. It is demonstrated that the conditions of extinction could be reintroduced by human activities. 相似文献

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) and its nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) reinforced nanocomposites were produced and foamed and its properties—such as the dynamic mechanical properties, crystallization behavior, and solubility of carbon dioxide (CO2)—were evaluated. PVOH was mixed with an NFC fiber suspension in water followed by casting. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, as well as the optical transparency of the films, revealed that the NFC fibers dispersed well in the resulting PVOH/NFC nanocomposites. Adding NFC increased the tensile modulus of the PVOH/NFC nanocomposites nearly threefold. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis showed that the NFC served as a nucleating agent, promoting the early onset of crystallization. However, high NFC content also led to greater thermal degradation of the PVOH matrix. PVOH/NFC nanocomposites were sensitive to moisture content and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) tests showed that, at room temperature, the storage modulus increased with decreasing moisture content. The solubility of CO2 in the PVOH/NFC nanocomposites depended on their moisture content and decreased with the addition of NFC. Moreover, the desorption diffusivity increased as more NFC was added. Finally, the foaming behavior of the PVOH/NFC nanocomposites was studied using CO2 and/or water as the physical foaming agent(s) in a batch foaming process. Only samples with a high moisture content were able to foam with CO2. Furthermore, the PVOH/NFC nanocomposites exhibited finer and more anisotropic cell morphologies than the neat PVOH films. In the absence of moisture, no foaming was observed in the CO2-saturated neat PVOH or PVOH/NFC nanocomposite samples. 相似文献

Thermodynamic properties of CO2 are derived from speed of sound in the temperature range 300 to 360 K (from 0 to 6 MPa), and 300 to 220 K (from 0 to 90% of the saturation pressure). The density, the specific heat capacity at constant pressure, and the specific heat capacity at constant volume are obtained by numerical integration of differential equations connecting the speed of sound with other thermodynamic properties. The set of differential equations is solved as the initial value problem, with the initial values specified along the isotherm at 300 K in terms of several accurate values of the density and the specific heat capacity at constant pressure. The density, the specific heat capacity at constant pressure and the specific heat capacity at constant volume are derived with the absolute average deviations of 0.018%, 0.19%, and 0.18%, respectively. The results of numerical integration are extrapolated to the saturation line for ρ, c p , and c v with the absolute average deviations of 0.056%, 2.31%, and 1.32%, respectively. 相似文献

In this paper the equilibrium solubility of carbon dioxide in 1.0 M, 2.0 M and 4.0 M 2(methylamino)ethanol (MAE) is measured at 303, 313 and 333 K, and at CO2 partial pressures ranging from 1 to 100 kPa using stirred cell reactor. The Kent-Eisenberg model was used to predict the solubility of carbon dioxide in MAE solutions. The equilibrium constant representing hydrolysis of carbamate ion is correlated with temperature, CO2 partial pressure and amine concentration by non-linear regression, using experimental results of carbamate ion concentrations. The model predicted results showed good agreement with the experimental solubility results. The solubility profile of CO2 in MAE showed better performance when compared with other commercial amines. 相似文献

The reaction between poly(4,4′-isopropylidene-2,2′-diphenylene (tere)isophthalate) copolymer and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane was investigated in supercritical carbon dioxide at 150 atm and 100° C. It was found that ester bonds in the copolyarylate undergo aminolysis under the above conditions to give rise to the formation of siloxane-containing amides, whose interaction with phenol groups of the macromolecules and moisture affords an insoluble poly(arylate-co-siloxane) fraction. Under the action of moisture, three-dimensional structures containing polyarylate and polysiloxane fragments are formed in the soluble fraction of the copolymer via the combined hydrolysis of ethoxysilane groups. The formation of the siloxane network affects the properties of the polymers. In particular, thermomechanical and thermal tests showed that sample deformation at 250°C decreases from 80 to 15%, while the carbon residue at 725°C increases twofold as compared to that of an initial polyarylate sample. 相似文献

Using potential models based on ab initio quantum chemical calculations, we study a supercritical CO2 fluid containing one benzene molecule using Monte Carlo simulations. First, molecular average internal energy is calculated for the whole system and for the first solvation shell of the benzene molecule. This analysis shows that the CO2 molecules in the first solvation shell have a large energetic stabilization owing to the shape of the solute. In addition to the stabilization, the solute-solvent interactions in the first solvation shell show large fluctuations for both the in-plane and out-of-plane parts. Secondly, an orientational distribution function is defined to investigate the CO2 fluid structure. This function indicates that the CO2---CO2 intermolecular configuration has a large dependence on the temperature of the system for both the whole system, and for the first solvation shell of the solute. Moreover, the benzene molecule is confirmed to control the mutual arrangement between neighboring CO2 molecules. 相似文献

Sorption and permeability measurements have been performed to determine the transport parameters of carbon dioxide through dense homogeneous PEEKWC membranes. The enthalpy of solution of CO2 is exothermic. The concentration dependence of diffusion has been measured. Permeability coefficients obtained from sorption data have been compared with the experimental values, obtaining a good agreement. 相似文献

A new trinuclear complex, {[Cu(L)]3 (μ3-CO3)}(ClO4)4 (L = N-(2-thiophenoethyl)-N,N-bis (3-aminopropyl)amine), was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The complex contained three identical mononuclear copper(II) units connected by the μ3-carbonate formed from atmospheric carbon dioxide. The electronic and magnetic properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry and the measurement of magnetic susceptibility, respectively. The μ3-bridging model revealed weak ferromagnetic coupling of Cu(II), with the J value of ?11.28 cm?1 and the Zeeman splitting g value of 2.06, which were determined by means of magnetic measurements in the 2–300 K range. 相似文献

Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations have been used in order to test the ability of a three center intermolecular potential for carbon dioxide to reproduce literature experimental thermophysical values. In particular, both the shear viscosity under supercritical conditions and along the phase coexistence line, as well as the thermal conductivity under supercritical conditions, have been calculated. Together with the already reported excellent agreement for the phase coexistence densities, the authors find that the agreement with experimental values is, in general, good, except for the thermal conductivity at low density. Although extended versions of the model were employed, which include an explicit account of bending and vibrational degrees of freedom, a significant difference was still found with respect to the reported experimental value. 相似文献

Two hydrosilylated polyolefin compounds are obtained by reacting polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) with di‐ and multi‐functional hydride‐terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (dH‐PDMS and mH‐PDMS), respectively. The PDMS‐rich surface layers on these two samples show different Si concentrations but similar thicknesses. Samples of these materials are annealed in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) at various temperatures and pressures for different periods of time. On the PP/dH‐PDMS sample, an increase in the annealing temperature does not affect the Si concentration up to 120°C. However, the Si concentration is sharply reduced at T = 150°C at which point the surface appears to be covered by SiO2 particles. Annealing the PP/dH‐PDMS sample for short times leads to submicron scale SiO2 particle formation on the surface. The particles form aggregated clusters that spread all over the surface uniformly when the annealing time is extended. However, Si concentration on the PE/mH‐PDMS sample surface is enhanced as the annealing temperature increases, reaching a maximum at an annealing temperature of 100°C. No particle formation is observed on the PE/mH‐PDMS sample surface. The contact angle of both samples is found to increase with annealing temperature. Increasing the scCO2 pressure leads to a higher Si concentration on the surfaces of both samples. On the other hand, increasing the CO2 pressure leads to opposite trends in contact angle with the PP/dH‐PDMS sample exhibiting an increasing contact angle and the PE/mH‐PDMS sample exhibiting a decreasing one.
