垂直排列法组装胶体晶体的最新进展

光子晶体是一种具有光子带隙的新型功能材料.利用胶体粒子自组装三维光子晶体由于其制备过程比较经济、简单,从而为很多人所关注.目前报道的方法已有多种.其中垂直排列法的简便易行使得其受到了广泛的研究,但另一方面这种方法本身的缺点也限制了它的使用范围.针对这种情况,很多研究机构提出了他们的改进方法.本文简要概述了在这一方面的最新进展,并且在本实验室已能够制备任意单分散、均一尺寸二氧化硅粒子的基础上,采用恒温快速蒸发自组装法得到了高质量的胶体晶体排列.     

胶体晶体自组装排列进展

自组装排列胶体晶体是发展光子晶体等亚微米周期有序结构及新型光电子器件十分重要的环节.高电荷密度单分散胶体球在较弱的离子强度和稀浓度下会自发排列形成紧密堆积的周期性结构(ccp),常常是面心立方(fcc),科学家们以此为基础发展了多种结晶化胶体粒子的方法,包括重力场沉积、电泳沉积、胶体外延技术、垂直沉积、流通池、物理束缚排列及其他的许多方法.目前排列的胶体粒子基本为球形,材料也多为SiO2、PS、PMMA,此外一些复合粒子,主要为核壳粒子的排列这里也稍作介绍,这些方法及其变通的使用可以形成类蛋白石及反蛋白石结构,最终实现光子带隙及其它多种用途。

SiO2胶体晶体垂直沉积自组装方法的改进

“可控自组装体系及其功能化”重大研究计划取得系列重要研究成果

In 2005, the Science magazine, in commemorating the 125th anniversary of its founding, proposed 25 most challenging scientific issues in the future. One of the issues, "How far can we push chemical self-assembly?" has attracted the attention of scientists all over the world. During the 11th Five Year Plan period, NSFC convened scientists from various fields and proposed a major research project, "Controllable self-assembly system and its functionalization". Since the implementation of this project, Chinese scientists have developed and recognized a variety of noncovalent interactions, constructed numerous assembly building blocks with the "Chinese label", established a new assembly method similar to an organic "name reaction", realized the functions of multi-component and multi-level assemblies, and constructed a batch of controllable self-assembly systems having scientific importance and potential practical value. They have achieved great leap forward from following to original innovation, and brought the research of chemical self-assembly in China to move forward to the center of international stage. In this study, we examined the overall scientific goals, general layout of the plan, and ideas for implementation of the major research program "Controllable Self-Assembly System and its Functionalization", as well as an array of significant research accomplishments made possible through the funding received by the program.     

表面富含羧基的单分散交联聚合物微球的快速自组装制备胶体晶的研究

在20～70℃范围内,用垂直沉积的方法可使表面富含羧基的单分散交联聚合物微球在不同的基底上快速自组装成三维有序的胶体晶.不同粒径的微球形成的胶体晶其光禁带峰位不同,因此可调控不同波长的光在胶体晶中的传播.利用紫外-可见光谱研究了胶体晶的光禁带峰位与组成其微球粒径之间的关系.结果表明,随着构成胶体晶微球粒径的增大,胶体晶光禁带峰位发生了红移,而随着入射光角度的增大,胶体晶的光禁带峰位发生了蓝移.利用原子力显微镜和扫描电子显微镜研究了其它条件对聚合物微球有序排列的影响,发现聚合物微球在pH值为3.0～13.0范围内可以形成三维有序自组装胶体晶.这是由于在不同的pH值下,聚合物微球表面发生羧基化及去羧基化反应,导致在自组装过程中微球之间和微球与介质之间作用力的变化

Effect of Surfactants on the Formation,Morphology, and Surface Property of Synthesized SiO2 Nanoparticles

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of cationic, anionic (saturated and unsaturated), and nonionic surfactants on the formation, morphology, and surface properties of silica nanoparticles synthesized by the ammonium‐catalyzed hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane in alcoholic media. Results indicate that at a relatively low surfactant concentration (1 × 10^?3–1 × 10^?6 M), cationic surfactants significantly affected the growth of silica particles as measured by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopic analyses. In contrast, the anionic and nonionic surfactants showed relatively minor effects in the low concentration range. The magnitude of negative zeta potential was reduced for silica colloids that were synthesized in the presence of cationic surfactant because of charge neutralization. The presence of anionic surfactants only slightly increased the negative zeta potential while the nonionic surfactant showed no obvious effects. At high surfactant concentrations (>1 × 10^?3 M), cationic and anionic surfactants both induced colloid aggregation, while the nonionic surfactant showed no effect on particle size. Raman spectroscopic analysis suggests that molecules of cationic surfactants adsorb on silica surfaces via head groups, aided by favorable electrostatic attraction, while molecules of anionic and nonionic surfactants adsorb via their hydrophobic tails.     

Effects of denaturation and association of collagen on adsorption behavior: two-dimensional nanostructure and its property

Effects of denaturation and association of collagen on adsorption behavior were studied in various pH and temperature T by a quartz crystal microbalance QCM. The surface nanostructure, the adhesion force F _ad, and the local frictional coefficient μ of collagen were studied by an atomic force microscope AFM and a lateral force microscope LFM. Adsorptions of collagen were Langmuir type in the regions of pH 3.0–5.8 and T = 25–50 °C. With increasing pH and T, adsorption mass Γ increased, and adsorbed fibrils increased in width. At interface, the association of collagen molecules in solution enhanced the formation of fibrils. The results of F _ad in the solution of pH 3.0 increased with increasing Γ and T but decreased in pH 5.8. The results of μ increased with increasing Γ and T, and those in pH 3.0, were much greater than those in pH 5.8. From comparing them with the results of bovine serum albumin and sodium hyaluronate monolayer, we concluded that nonelectrostatic interactions and the softness of collagen layer contribute primarily to F _ad and μ.
