Rapid Fabrication of Hollow SiO2 Spheres with Novel Morphology

The hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) occurred on the surface of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microshperes immediately after these microshperes were prepared in TEOS. Micron-sized hollow SiO2 spheres were obtained by calcination of the coated PMMA microshperes. It was found that the final hollow spheres were constituted by small SiO2 particles.

Strong influences of cocatalyst on ethylene/propylene copolymerization with a MgCl2/SiO2/TiCl4/diester type Ziegler-Natta catalyst

Using triethylaluminum (TEA), triisobutylaluminum (TIBA) or TEA/TIBA mixtures of molar ratio 75/25, 50/50 and 25/75 as the cocatalyst, five different ethylene-propylene copolymer samples were synthesized by a MgCl₂/SiO₂/TiCl₄/diester type Ziegler-Natta catalyst in a slurry polymerization process. The synthesized copolymers are strongly heterogeneous in chain structure and were fractionated into part of nearly random copolymer and part of segmented copolymer. Both polymerization activity and copolymer structure were found to be markedly changed when the cocatalyst was changed from TEA to TEA/TIBA mixtures or pure TIBA. As the content of TEA in cocatalyst increases, yield of the random part of product increases and the yield of the crystalline segmented copolymer part decreases. There is also a decrease in ethylene content of the whole product with increasing TEA amount. Copolymerization behaviors of the TEA/TIBA mixture activated catalysis systems are not simple superposition of those activated by pure TEA and TIBA. When a 50/50 TEA/TIBA mixture was used as cocatalyst, the copolymerization activity became the highest, and yields of both the random copolymer part and the segmented copolymer part are close to the highest level. On the other hand, both parts of the copolymer produced with a 50/50 TEA/TIBA mixture are relatively more blocky than the products of TEA or TIBA systems, and difference in ethylene content between the random part and the segmented part was the smallest. The segmented copolymer part of three typical samples was further fractionated by temperature-gradient extraction fractionation into fractions of different ethylene content and sequence distribution. Changing TEA content in the cocatalyst exerted strong influences also on the fraction distribution of the segmented part of copolymer.

Molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction of (-)-ephedrine from Chinese Ephedra

Method of molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction (MISPE) of (-)-ephedrine from Chinese Ephedra has been developed in the research. The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) with good selectivity and affinity for (-)-ephedrine was synthesized with (-)-ephedrine as the template, methacrylic acid as the functional monomer. The washing and elution conditions in MISPE were selected and optimized for efficient analyte extraction and sample clean-up. A clean analytical HPLC base line of ephedra extract was obtained after MISPE, which indicated that the sample pre-treatment was efficient. Good recovery and precision were obtained in the assessment for the MISPE-HPLC procedure, which demonstrated it is a reliable method and can be used for the determination of (-)-ephedrine in herbal ephedra.     

Designed nanostructured pt film for electrocatalytic activities by underpotential deposition combined chemical replacement techniques

Multiple-deposited Pt overlayer modified Pt nanoparticle (MD-Pt overlayer/PtNPs) films were deliberately constructed on glassy carbon electrodes through alternately multiple underpotential deposition (UPD) of Ag followed redox replacement reaction by Pt (II) cations. The linear and regular growth of the films characterized by cyclic voltammetry was observed. Atomic force spectroscopy (AFM) provides the surface morphology of the nanostructured Pt films. Rotating disk electrode (RDE) voltammetry and rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) voltammetry demonstrate that the MD-Pt overlayer/PtNPs films can catalyze an almost four-electron reduction of O(2) to H(2)O in air-saturated 0.1 M H(2)SO(4). Thus-prepared Pt films behave as novel nanostructured electrocatalysts for dioxygen reduction and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with enhanced electrocatalytic activities, in terms of both reduction peak potential and peak current, when compared to that of the bulk polycrystalline Pt electrode. Additionally, it is noted that after multiple replacement cycles, the electrocatalytic activities improved remarkably, although the increased amount of Pt is very low in comparison to that of pre-modified PtNPs due to the intrinsic feature of the UPD-redox replacement technique. In other words, the electrocatalytic activities could be improved markedly without using very much Pt by the technique of tailoring the catalytic surface. These features may provide an interesting way to produce Pt catalysts with a reliable catalytic performance as well as a reduction in cost.
