A simple and convenient method for the construction of CdSe/ZnS-labeled polysaccharides as bioprobes were developed, which are highly biocompatible and photostable, and have been proven to be suitable for live cell imaging.     

Study on analysis of153Sm-EDTMP stability in vitro and vivo by HPLC

The behavior of¹⁵³Sm-EDTMP in vitro and vivo is analyzed by the size exclusion HPLC. The experimental results show that EDTMP amounts have an obvious effect on the stability in vitro and uptake of¹⁵³Sm-EDTMP in the liver. HPLC analysis of urine sample indicates that¹⁵³Sm-EDTMP es excreted in the original form. The behavior in vivo of¹⁵³Sm-EDTMP containing 4 μg is similar to that of¹⁵³Sm-EDTMP containing 50 μg EDTMP at 1 h post-injection.

Eigenschaften von Chalkogen-Chalkogen-Bindungen. XII. Reversible Tellurierung von Tetraisopropyldiphosphan; Stabilisierung von Tellurobis(diisopropylphosphan) als Tetracarbonylchromkomplex

Properties of Chalcogene-Chalcogene Bonds. XII. Reversible Telluration of Tetraisopropyldiphosphane, Stabilisation of Tellurobis(diisopropylphosphane) as Tetracarbonylchromium Complex Tetraisopropyldiphosphane 1 reacts with elemental tellurium by tellurium atom insertion to give tellurobis(diisopropylphosphane) 2. 2 is also available from sodium telluride with chlorodiisopropyl phosphane. ^lH, ^l3C, ^3lP and ^l25Te n.m.r. spectra confirm that in solution 2 is in an equilibrium with the educt 1 and elemental tellurium. Reaction of this equilibrium mixture with tetracarbonyl(norbornadiene)chromium(0) provides tetracarbonyl[tellurobis(diisopropylphosphane)]-chromium(0) 3. 3 was isolated in pure state as stable compound; different from 2,3 does not suffer from loss of tellurium at room temperature.     

Improved hygrothermal durability of flax/polypropylene composites after chemical treatments through a hybrid approach

There are growing research interests in flax fibers due to their renewable ‘green’ origin and high strength. However, these natural fibers easily absorb moisture and have poor adhesion with polymer matrix leading to low interfacial strength for the composites. A hybrid chemical treatment technique combining alkali (sodium hydroxide) and silane treatments is adopted in the current study to modify flax fibers for improved performances of flax/polypropylene composites. Changes in chemical composition, microstructure, wettability, surface morphology, crystallinity and tensile properties of single flax fiber before and after chemical treatments were comprehensively characterized using techniques including SEM, FTIR, AFM, XRD, micro-fiber tester, etc. It was found that hemicellulose and lignin at the fiber surface were removed due to alkali treatment, which helped to reduce moisture absorption of the composites. Alkali-treated flax fibers were later subjected to silane treatment, which helped to improve the compatibility between flax fiber and polypropylene matrix. After alkali-silane hybrid chemical treatment, moisture absorption of the composites was further decreased. At the same time, the interfacial bonding strength between flax and polypropylene is significantly enhanced. All these results validate the great advantage of the hybrid chemical treatment approach for flax/polypropylene composites, which has the potential to promote the application of chemical treatment techniques in the plant fiber composite industry.

Migration characteristics of radionuclides 85+89Sr2+, 134Cs+, 125I-, 75SeO3 2- and 152+154Eu(III) in Chinese soils

The migration of radionuclides ⁸⁵⁺⁸⁹Sr²⁺, ¹³⁴Cs⁺, ¹²⁵I^- and ⁷⁵SeO₃ ^2- in calcareous soil from Yuzhong county of Gansu Province (China) at pH 7.8±0.2 and ^152+154Eu(III) in red earth from Yingtan county of Jiangxi Province (China) at pH 4.6±0.2, in presence of CaCl₂ was studied using column experiments. Results indicate that the negative anions, iodide and selenide are mobile nuclides while the migration of positive cations is related to the sorption capacity for the element. Iodide can be assumed to be non-reactive in calcareous soil. The breakthrough curves (BTCs) were fitted to the analytical solution or numerical solution of one-dimensional convection-dispersion transport models. Good agreements were obtained between the measured and predicted concentration profiles.     

羧甲基壳聚糖/明胶共混膜的结构表征与吸湿保湿性

壳聚糖通过羧甲基化得到水溶性N，O-羧甲基壳聚糖，并将其配制成4Wt％水溶液，与4Wt％明胶水溶液共混，成功制得了羧甲基壳聚糖／明胶共混膜。采用红外光谱、x射线衍射、扫描电镜对共混膜进行结构表征，结果表明，共混膜中羧甲基壳聚糖和明胶分子间存在着较强的相互作用及良好的相容性。通过共混膜的力学性能测试，发现当羧甲基壳聚糖含量为20％时，共混膜的抗张强度达到最大值(75MPa)，分别比单独的羧甲基壳聚糖(45MPa)和明胶(43MPa)提高了66．7％和74％。经过吸湿和保湿性能测试，发现当羧甲基壳聚糖含量为80％时，吸湿率和保湿率分别为33．4％和69．2％，比单独的明胶膜分别提高了1．8倍和2．1倍。
