Effect of Variant Counterions on Stability and Particle Size of Silica Sol

The effects of variant counterions with ionic strength of 0.05, 0.10, 0.20 and 0.25 mol·kg^-1 on the stability and particle size of silica sols have been studied using the traditional methods of Ubbelohde viscosity measurement, TEM and titration respectively, finding that the stability and particle size of the silica sols are all concerned with the acidic, positively electric properties and the sizes of the counterions, as well as the attraction between the counterions and surface silicon hydroxyl groups of the silica sols. The small positively charged counterions lead to the decrease in particle sizes, making the silica sol the most stable. But the larger weakly acidic counterions can restrict the particle sizes of the silica sols and easily make the sols coagulate. It was also found that there existed a linear relationship between log r and log η, which has not ever been reported. The effect of temperature on the stability and particle sizes was also discussed.     

DIFFUSION OF LONG CHAINS THROUGH A POROUS THIN GEL NETWORK

Using a core(142 nm)made of linear polystyrene(PS)chains as a seed,we further polymerized a thin layer of cross-linked PS shell(7 nm)on it in water to form a core-shell particle.Such a particle swells in toluene,which enables linear PS chains inside the core to gradually diffuse out through the porous shell.Using a combination of static and dynamic laser light scattering,we examined the chain diffusion process by following the change of the scattering intensity(i.e.the average molar mass of the particles).For the first time,we have revealed that the diffusion exhibits three stages.In the first stage,the chain diffusion through the shell is even faster than their translational diffusion in a dilute solution.The three stages respectively correspond to the change of the solution in the core from concentrated to semidilute and then from semidilute to dilute.

PDMS-based microfluidic device with multi-height structures fabricated by single-step photolithography using printed circuit board as masters

We have developed a method for fabricating microfluidic devices with multi-height structures using single step photolithography. The whole fabrication process is executed by conventional printed circuit board (PCB) technology without the need of having access to clean room facilities. Specifically designed "windows" and "rims" architectures were printed on films that were used as photomasks. Different levels of protruding features on the PCB master were produced by exposing a photomask followed by chemical wet etching. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was then moulded against the positive relief master to generate microfluidic structures. In this report, we described the fabrication of a microfluidic device featured with a multi-height "sandbag" structure for particle entrapment and peripheral microchannels. Controlled immobilization of biological cells and immunocytochemcial staining assays were performed to demonstrate the applicability of the microfluidic device for cellular analysis. The integrity of the microdevice remained stable under applied pressure, indicating the robustness of the elastic PDMS structures for analytical operation. The simple microfabrication process requires only low-cost materials and minimal specialized equipment and can reproducibly produce mask lines of about 20 microm in width, which is sufficient for most microfluidic applications.     

Incorporation of a flexible, pyridine-functionalized Diaza-crown ether into discrete supramolecules via coordination-driven self-assembly

A flexible, pyridine-functionalized diaza-crown ether was self-assembled into discrete supramolecules of differing stoichiometries upon combination with various organoplatinum molecules. They are characterized by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and (31)P[(1)H] and (1)H NMR. In one case, (1)H-(1)H NOE enhancements of a [1 + 1] assembled structure demonstrate the puckered shape of the macrocyclic ring. Despite its inherent flexibility, the dipyridyl-substituted 18-membered diaza-crown ligand prefers to self-assemble into closed systems when reacted with platinum-containing acceptors.     

Effect of ligand structure of stationary phase of high performance hydrophobic interaction chromatography on renaturation efficiency of GuHCl-denaturedα-chymotrypsin

The renaturation of the denaturedα-chymotrypsin (α-Chy) with 1.7 mol·L-1 gua-nidine hydrochloride (GuHCI) by three kinds of stationary phase of high performance hydropho-bic interaction chromatography (STHIC) with a comparable hydrophobicity but different ligand structures was investigated. The obtained result indicates that the ligand structures of the three STHIC contribute to the renaturation efficiency ofα-Chy in the order of the end ligands PEG-600< phenyl group < tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA).     

Dual room-temperature fluorescent and phosphorescent emission in 8-quinolinolate osmium(II) carbonyl complexes: rationalization and generalization of intersystem crossing dynamics

A new series of quinolinolate osmium carbonyl complexes were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies indicate that these complexes consist of an octahedral ligand arrangement with one chelating quinolinolate, one tfa or halide ligand, and three mutually orthogonal terminal CO ligands. Variation of the substituents on quinolinolate ligands imposes obvious electronic or structural effects, while changing the tfa ligand to an electron-donating iodide slightly increases the charge density on the central osmium atom. These Os(II) complexes show salient dual emissions consisting of fluorescence and phosphorescence, the spectral properties and relaxation dynamics of which have been studied comprehensively. The results, in combination with the theoretical approaches, lead us to propose that the emission mainly originates from the quinolinolate pi pi* state. Both experimental and theoretical approaches generalize various types of intersystem crossing versus those of the tris(quinolinolate) iridium Ir(Q)3, and their relative efficiencies were accessed on the basis of the associated frontier orbital configurations. Our results suggest that [1d(pi)pi* absolute value(H(so))3 pi pi*] (or [3d(pi)pi* absolute value(H(so))1 pi pi*]) in combination with a smaller deltaE(S1-T1) gap (i.e., increasing the MLCT (d(pi)pi*) character) is the main driving force to induce the ultrafast S1 --> T1 intersystem crossing in the third-row transition metal complexes, giving the strong phosphorescent emission.     

Physico-chemical Characterization of Mo-Hβ Zeolite Catalysts

A series of Mo-impregnated Hβ samples, with MoO3 loading in Hβ zeolite in the mass fraction range of 0. 5%-6.0%, were studied by means of XRD and IR in order to characterize their structures. Mo/Hβ sampies‘ crystallinity almost linearly decreases with increasing the amount of MoO3 loaded, The IR spectra and XRD patterns suggest that the progressive destabilization of the Hβ zeolite structure is caused by increasing Mo loading in (MoO3 Hβ zeolite). During the calcination, Al2(MoO4)3 formed from the dealumination of Hβ zeolite, causes the substantially partial breakdown of the zeolite framework when the Mo loading in MoO3 Hβ is relatively high.
