Ion exchange was made on MCM-22 and MCM-49 zeolites with different Si/Al molar ratios, with Li+, Na+, K+, and Cs+ ions and the study of the influence of alkali metal cations on CO2 adsorption properties was performed. The degree of ion-exchange decreased for larger cations (Cs+) apparently due to steric hindrances. The exchange with different cations led to a decrease in the surface area and the micropore
volume. Our study shows that the adsorption capacity of the tested zeolites depends significantly on the nature and the concentration
of the charge-compensating cations. The highest CO2 adsorption capacity was obtained on the MWW zeolites with the lowest Si/Al molar ratio and the Li+ or K+ cations. 相似文献
Thin polymer films that prevent the adhesion of bacteria are of interest as coatings for the development of infection‐resistant biomaterials. This study investigates the influence of grafting density and film thickness on the adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis to poly(poly(ethylene glycol)methacrylate) (PPEGMA) and poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) brushes prepared via surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI‐ATRP). These brushes are compared with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) brushes, which are obtained by grafting PEG onto an epoxide‐modified substrate. Except for very low grafting densities (ρ = 1%), crystal violet staining experiments show that the PHEMA and PPEGMA brushes are equally effective as the PEG‐modified surfaces in preventing S. epidermis adhesion and do not reveal any significant variations as a function of film thickness or grafting density. These results indicate that brushes generated by SI‐ATRP are an attractive alternative to grafted‐onto PEG films for the preparation of surface coatings that resist bacterial adhesion.
A convenient protocol for the parallel solution-phase synthesis of a library of thiocarbamates, ureas, carbamates, and amides from carbamoylimidazolium salts has been developed. The crystalline carbamoylimidazolium salts are readily synthesized from secondary amines, CDI and iodomethane, and act as stable carbamoylation reagents. A common set of reaction conditions and a straightforward non-chromatographic liquid-liquid extraction purification protocol were developed for reactions with thiols, amines, phenols, and carboxylic acids, giving the products with high purities and yields. The resultant library incorporates diversity arising from the choice of reaction partners and the functional group linkage generated in the couplings. 相似文献

A series of novel iodinated NO2‐substituted aza‐BODIPYs have been synthesized and characterized. Highly desirable photophysical and photochemical properties were induced in NO2‐substituted aza‐BODIPYs by iodination of the pyrrole rings. In particular, high values of singlet oxygen quantum yields (ΦΔ) ranging from 0.79 to 0.85 were measured. The photooxygenation process proceeds via a Type II mechanism under the experimental conditions applied. The compounds studied exhibited an absorption band within the so‐called “therapeutic window”, with λmax located between 645 nm to 672 nm. They were non‐fluorescent at room temperature with excited singlet‐state lifetimes within the picosecond range as measured by femtosecond transient absorption. Nanosecond laser flash photolysis experiments revealed T1→Tn absorption spanning from ca. 400 nm to ca. 500 nm and allowed determination of the triplet‐state lifetimes. The estimated triplet lifetimes (τT) in deaerated acetonitrile ranged between 2.74 μs and 3.50 μs. As estimated by CV/DPV measurements, all iodinated aza‐BODIPYs studied exhibited one irreversible oxidation and two quasi‐reversible reductions processes. Estimation of the EHOMO gave the value of ?6.06 to ?6.26 eV while the ELUMO was found to be located at ca. ?4.6 eV. Thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis revealed that iodinated aza‐BODIPYs were stable up to approximately 300 °C. All compounds studied exhibit high photostability in toluene solution. 相似文献
A new technology of obtaining activated carbons by physical and direct activation of biomass with the use of microwave radiation is described. The effect of activation temperature (700 and 800 °C) and two periods of time (15 and 30 min) on the textural parameters, acid–base character of the surface and sorption properties of activated carbons was tested. The resulting carbons were characterized by low-temperature nitrogen sorption and determination of pH as well as the number of surface oxygen groups. The sorption properties of the activated carbons obtained were characterized by determination of nitrogen dioxide and hydrogen sulphide adsorption in dry and wet conditions as well as by iodine removal from aqueous solution. The final products were adsorbents of surface area ranging from 291 to 368 m2/g and pore volume from 0.20 to 0.26 cm3/g, showing basic character of the surface. The results obtained in our study have proved that suitable choice of the pyrolysis and activation procedure for hay with the use of microwave radiation permit producing adsorbents with good capacity toward toxic gases of acidic character as well as inorganic pollutants of molecules of size similar to that of iodine molecules. 相似文献
