Oxidative coupling of methane over Sr?Ti, Sr?Sn perovskites and corresponding layered perovskites

The layered perovskites Sr₂TiO₄ and Sr₂SnO₄ are more active and selective for the oxidative coupling of methane at 1073 K than the corresponding perovskites SrTiO₃ and SrSnO₃. The role of the surface oxygen species for this reaction is discussed.     

The research on the high quality TiO2, MoO3-doped WO3 electrochromic film

The high quality TiO2, MoO3-doped WO3 electrochromic film was prepared by the sol–gel method for the first time. The sol, which has hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxalic acid (H2C2O4), was very stable at room temperature and quite suitable for the deposition of films. The WO3 electrochromic film prepared from this doped sol had excellent performance, such as short response time, no cracks, good adhesion to the substrate, high coloring efficiency and longevity of service.     

Simultaneous Determination of Four Flavonoids in Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] Leaves Using RP-LC-DAD

A simple and accurate RP-HPLC method using photodiode array detection (PAD) was developed for the simultaneous determination of four flavonoids, namely quercetin (QU),luteolin(LU),apigenin(AP) and isorhamnetin (IS) in pigeonpea leaves.Extract samples were separated on HIQ SIL C₁₈V column using methanol-acetonitrile-water(31:10:59, v/v/v) as mobile phase.The flavonoids were detected at 254.5 nm for QU and IS, and at 345 nm for LU and AP.Contents were determined with satisfactory repeatability (R. S. D. < 2.2%) and recovery (97.27 – 99.98%). The developed method was found to be simple and efficient.     

Effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polyamide 6

The non-isothermal crystallization behaviors of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)/polyamide 6 (PA6) composites were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Three methods, namely, Avrami, Ozawa and Mo, were carried out to analyze the non-isothermal crystallization data. The results showed that the MWNTs in PA6 acted as effective nucleation agents. However the crystallization rate of composites obtained was lower than that of the neat PA6. It is indicated that the presence of MWNTs influenced the mechanism of nucleation and the growth of PA6 crystallites.     

高效液相色谱荧光检测法测定瓜子中的4-氨基丁酸

在众多的氨基酸中，4-氨基丁酸是一种非蛋白质类氨基酸，它在医学上是一种抑制性神经递质，由于其自身的特点，一些常规的直接测定法灵敏度较低。尽管对其测定有较多报道，但采用柱前衍生的分离测定的报道相对较少，且测定结果不很理想。本实验采用新型荧光试剂咔唑-9-乙基氯甲酸酯(CEOC)作为衍生试剂在Hyperil C18柱上分离测定了4-氨基丁酸(GABA)。结果表明，所建立的方法简单、快速，灵敏度高。     

EFFECT OF MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF PDMS ON MORPHOLOGY AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF PP/PDMS BLENDS

 A series of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with varied molecular weights (Mw = 3 &#61620; 106, 1 &#61620; 106 and 0.5 &#61620; 106) were melt blended with PP to investigate the effect of PDMS molecular weight (MW) on the morphology and mechanical properties of PP/PDMS blends. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examination showed that the size of PDMS domains was dependent on the MW of PDMS. It was found that the lower the value of PDMS MW, the better dispersion of the PDMS domains in the PP matrix. Tensile and Izod impact tests revealed that the addition of PDMS with lower MW would lead to a more significant increase in impact strength of the blends compared with the blends with higher MW ones, while the influence of the molecular weight on tensile strengths of the blends was relatively small in the MW range studied. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results also showed that the crystallization temperature of PP was increased with decreasing PDMS MW, indicating a better nucleation capability of lower MW of PDMS. Melting flow rate (MFR) measurements indicated that the processibility of PP could be enhanced by adding PDMS, and again the lower MW PDMS resulted in better data. Our work demonstrates that not only the processibility but also the mechanical properties of PP could be enhanced to a more significant degree by using low MW PDMS than the higher ones.     

HMS和NaY固载酒石酸钛配合物的研究

利用化学键合和“瓶中造船”方法,成功地将酒石酸钛配合物接枝到HMS(heragonal mesoporous silicas)上或包络合于微孔NaY内.FT-IR表征表明酒石酸钛在HMS上是通过与载体表面羟基发生交换作用而被固载的;在NaY载体上则是通过包络合被封装在载体的超笼内.UV-Vis可见漫反射表征表明两类固载型催化剂有着相似的钛配位环境.在催化肉桂醇环氧化反应中,HMS键合型催化剂的反应转化率比NaY包络型催化剂的高;但后者在环氧化选择性上要高于前者.回收样品的重复使用实验结果表明,两类固载型催化剂在重复使用过程中均存在不同程度的失活.     

Molecular and nanoscale materials and devices in electronics

Over the past several years, there have been many significant advances toward the realization of electronic computers integrated on the molecular scale and a much greater understanding of the types of materials that will be useful in molecular devices and their properties. It was demonstrated that individual molecules could serve as incomprehensibly tiny switch and wire one million times smaller than those on conventional silicon microchip. This has resulted very recently in the assembly and demonstration of tiny computer logic circuits built from such molecular scale devices. The purpose of this review is to provide a general introduction to molecular and nanoscale materials and devices in electronics.     

Solvent-mediated folding of a doubly charged anion

The microsolvation of the suberate dianion, -O2C(CH2)6CO2-, with two separate charge centers was studied by photoelectron spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulation one solvent molecule at a time for up to 20 waters. It is shown that the two negative charges are solvated in the linear suberate alternately. As the solvent number increases, the negative charges are screened and a conformation change occurs at 16 waters, where the cooperative hydrogen bonding of water is large enough to overcome the Coulomb repulsion and pull the two negative charges closer through a water bridge. This conformation change, revealed both from the experiment and from the simulation, is a manifestation of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic forces at the molecular level.
