Effect of temperature on the surface free energy of amorphous carbon films

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) and tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) have attracted much attention recently for biomedical and antifouling applications due to their excellent biocompatibility and inherent nonstick properties. It has been demonstrated that the solid surface free energy is a dominant factor in cellular or fouling adhesion. However, few data for the surface free energy of DLC and ta-C coatings at temperatures in the range 37-95 degrees C are available. In this study DLC and ta-C coatings on stainless steel 304 sheets were prepared using an unbalanced magnetron sputtering system and a filtered cathodic vacuum arc system, respectively. The contact angles of water, diiodomethane and ethylene glycol on the coated surfaces at temperatures in the range 20-95 degrees C were measured using a Dataphysics OCA-20 contact angle analyzer. The surface free energy of the coatings and their components (e.g., dispersion, polar or acid/base portions) were calculated using various methods. The experimental results showed that the total surface free energy and dispersive surface free energy of the ta-C coatings, DLC coatings, stainless steel 304 and titanium decreased with increasing surface temperature, while the acid-base SFE component increased with increasing temperature.     

Study of cross-conjugated iso-polytriacetylenes and related oligoenynes

Two series of monodisperse cross-conjugated oligomers based on enyne repeat units have been realized. The first class of molecules, iso-polytriacetylenes (iso-PTAs, 2), was divergently synthesized using an iterative sequence of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of vinyl triflate 5 with terminal alkynes. The second series of oligoenynes (17-20) are based on an octatetrayne backbone, and result from homocoupling of the differentially protected iso-PTA oligomers 8-11. The longest member of this series, 20, spans ca. 5.6 nm from Si atom to Si atom and is composed of a contiguous sequence of 44 sp and sp(2) carbons. The lowest energy electronic absorption band for iso-PTA dimers in the progression 13 --> 9 --> 16 is consistently red-shifted as a result of extending the cross-conjugated structure. A similar comparison within each series (i.e., 16, 6-7, or 17-20), however, suggests little effect on the electronic characteristics of these molecules as oligomer length is increased. The solid-state properties of one derivative, 17, are also described.

Theoretical approach and the practice to the evaluation of structural parameters characterizing concentration polarization alongside ion-exchange membranes by means of dielectric measurement

As the application of a dielectric theory proposed previously (J Membrane Sci 64:153–161 (1991)), theoretical formulation and the practical procedure of dielectric analysis are developed to calculate the structural parameters such as the conductivity gradient and the thickness of the concentration polarization layer, the capacitances and the conductances of the two adjoining aqueous phases from the observed dielectric parameters. The procedure of calculation consequent upon the theoretical formulation was applied to double relaxation data observed for cation-exchange membrane systems under application of d.c. bias voltage. As a consequence, the structural parameters of concentration polarization were readily obtained with accuracy.     

制备方法对WO_3/ZrO_2结构的影响

用XRD、比表面测定、LRS定性和定量的方法对用Zr（OH）4和已晶化的ZrO2作载体制得的两类WO3／ZrO2催化剂进行了表征．揭示了样品比表面、载体物相、活性组分的存在状态与制备方法、WO3含量、焙烧温度之间的关系．结果表明，WO3能单层分散在ZrO2上；单层覆盖在Zr（OH）4上的WO3使载体在焙烧时晶粒生长受阻，形成介稳的四方ZrO2，并阻止载体微粒间的烧结，使从Zr（OH）4出发制得的WO3／ZrO2比表面明显增大，在WO3含量达到单层分散容量时以上作用表现得最充分；WO3与Zr（OH）4（或四方ZrO2）在高温（～800℃）可能发生了某种化学结合，开创出超强酸位．用以上观点可对文献中已报导的主要实验事实作出较满意的解释.     

Development of a custom high-throughput preparative liquid chromatography/mass spectrometer platform for the preparative purification and analytical analysis of compound libraries

Solution-phase parallel synthesis has had a profound impact on the speed of compound synthesis delivering relatively pure compounds (>80%) in short order. However, to develop structure activity relationships (SAR) for a compound series, each library member should preferably be >95% pure. Historically, achieving and quantifying such high-purity criteria for each library member proved to be the slow step for most lead discovery groups. To address this issue, significant modifications have been made to a commercial Agilent preparative LC/MS system to allow for the general mass-guided purification of diverse compound libraries. The custom modifications include (1) the "DMSO slug" approach for the purification of samples with poor solubility; (2) an active splitter to reduce system back-pressure, reduce the delay volume, and allow for a variable split ratio; (3) a sample loading pump for the quick purification of large, dilute samples; (4) a preparative column-selection valve to quickly change column selectivity or sample loading; and (5) an analytical injector with a separate flow path for crude reaction or fraction analyses.
