Hydrophilic–oleophobic coatings on cellulosic materials by plasma assisted polymerization in liquid phase and fluorosurfactant complexation

Materials with hydrophilic–oleophobic properties are of relevance due to their application to different fields such as self-cleaning coatings, liquid–liquid separation membranes and functional textiles for different technical applications. In this work, hydrophilic–oleophobic coatings have been deposited on cellulosic materials (filter paper and bleached cotton) by means of plasma assisted polymerization of acrylic acid solutions in water followed by cationic fluorosurfactant complexation. Chemical composition of the coatings on cellulosic materials was characterized by means of FTIR–ATR and XPS whereas their morphology was studied by SEM. Hydrophilic–oleophobic behavior was characterized by means of contact angle and wetting time. Additionally wetting properties of cationic, anionic and non-ionic surfactant solutions on the hydrophilic–oleophobic coatings were used to characterize the polyelectrolyte electrostatic forces upon the functionalized layer.     

Palladium‐Catalyzed Decarboxylative Cycloaddition of Vinylethylene Carbonates with Formaldehyde: Enantioselective Construction of Tertiary Vinylglycols

An efficient method for the enantioselective construction of tertiary vinylglycols through a palladium‐catalyzed asymmetric decarboxylative cycloaddition of vinylethylene carbonates with formaldehyde was developed. By using a palladium complex generated in situ from [Pd₂(dba)₃]?CHCl₃ and a phosphoramidite ligand as a catalyst under mild reaction conditions, the process allows conversion of racemic 4‐substituted 4‐vinyl‐1,3‐dioxolan‐2‐ones into the corresponding 1,3‐dioxolanes, as methylene acetal protected tertiary vinylglycols, in high yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities.     

Three dimension Liesegang rings of calcium hydrophosphate in gelatin

Three dimensional Liesegang spherical layers of CaHPO₄ in gelatin ball were performed by employing CaCl₂ and Na₂HPO₄ as the inner and outer electrolyte, respectively. Effects of concentrations of inner and outer electrolyte as well as pH on the morphologies of Liesegang rings (LRs) were investigated. As a result, it was observed that the time law, spacing law and width law found in 1D/2D gel systems were obeyed in this 3D gelatin system. The interaction of Ca²⁺ and HPO₄ ^2? with gelatin matrix played a key role to the formation of LRs due to the existence of carboxylic groups on the gelatin chains. Using Ca²⁺ as the inner electrolyte, LRs were prepared. However, employing HPO₄ ^2? as inner electrolyte, LRs were not obtained. Moreover, pH of gelatin solution greatly impacted on the formation of LRs. The number of LRs increased with the decrease of pH, whereas the width inversely decreased. pH 4.40 was a turn point, from which the spacing coefficient abruptly increased as pH increased. All these results indicated that the network was created by the interaction of Ca²⁺ and –COO^? of gelatin chains, which dominated the formation of CaHPO₄ LRs in gelatin.     

Towards Long‐Term Photostability of Nickel Hydroxide/BiVO4 Photoanodes for Oxygen Evolution Catalysts via In Situ Catalyst Tuning

Increasing long‐term photostability of BiVO₄ photoelectrode is an important issue for solar water splitting. The NiOOH oxygen evolution catalyst (OEC) has fast water oxidation kinetics compared to the FeOOH OEC. However, it generally shows a lower photoresponse and poor stability because of the more substantial interface recombination at the NiOOH/BiVO₄ junction. Herein, we utilize a plasma etching approach to reduce both interface/surface recombination at NiOOH/BiVO₄ and NiOOH/electrolyte junctions. Further, adding Fe²⁺ into the borate buffer electrolyte alleviates the active but unstable character of etched‐NiOOH/BiVO₄, leading to an outstanding oxygen evolution over 200 h. The improved charge transfer and photostability can be attributed to the active defects and a mixture of NiOOH/NiO/Ni in OEC induced by plasma etching. Metallic Ni acts as the ion source for the in situ generation of the NiFe OEC over long‐term durability.     

Highly efficient cryogenically-cooled Yb:YAG laser

A MOPA laser system for high pulse energy and high average power has been developed by using a cryogenic Yb:YAG. In the regenerative amplifier with our original TRAM architecture, the high pulse energies of 6.5 and 1.5 mJ were obtained at the repetition rate of 200 Hz and 1 kHz, respectively. An optical efficiency was as high as η_o-o = 9.3% with an excellent beam quality of M ² < 1.1, which ensured that a cryogenic Yb:YAG TRAM had a high thermal strength. The following four pass power amplifier with a cryogenic Yb:YAG rod showed 140 mJ at 100 Hz. Both a high optical efficiency of η_o-o = 30% and a high slope efficiency of η_s = 44% showed that an efficient laser operation could be realized for a power amplification with both a high pulse energy and a high average power by using a cryogenic Yb:YAG.     

Intrinsic self‐initiating thermal ring‐opening polymerization of 1,3‐benzoxazines without the influence of impurities using very high purity crystals

A phenol/aniline type monofunctional benzoxazine monomer, PH‐a , is synthesized and highly purified to study the intrinsic thermal ring‐opening polymerization of benzoxazines without the influence of any impurity. The successful synthesis of the monomer and its corresponding chemical structure are confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectroscopy. Purity of the compound is evaluated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as well as elemental analysis (EA). Moreover, the thermal behavior of benzoxazine monomer toward polymerization is also studied by DSC, indicating that the highly purified benzoxazine monomer actually polymerize upon heating. The results present evidence of an intrinsic tendency for 1,3‐benzoxazines to undergo thermally induced ring‐opening polymerization upon heating only without any impurity participating during the reaction. This reveals that polybenzoxazines can be obtained by both the traditional thermally accelerated (or activated) polymerization, where impurities or purposefully added initiators are involved in the reaction; or, by the classic thermal polymerization, where only heat is enough to initiate the reaction. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
