Preparation of flame retardant polyamide 6 composite with melamine cyanurate nanoparticles in situ formed in extrusion process

This paper is focused on in situ preparation of melamine cyanurate (MCA) nanoparticles from reaction of melamine (MEL) and cyanuric acid (CA) and their flame retardant polyamide 6 (PA6) composite in the extrusion process through a novel reactive processing method. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to characterize the in situ formed MCA nanoparticles and their blends with PA6. Introduction of pentaerythritol (LTP) and water-bound plasticizer dioctyl phthalate (DPT) into the extrusion reaction system greatly inhibits the evaporation of water required for melamine and cyanuric acid reaction at high temperature (higher than 180 °C), laying a foundation for successful in situ preparation of MCA through reactive processing. XRD and FT-IR measurements indicate that under the effect of pentaerythritol, dioctyl phthalate and water, melamine really reacts with cyanuric acid to in situ form MCA in extrusion process. The reaction degree is close to 100%. A very important finding through SEM is that the in situ formed MCA particles, which were found to have aspect ratio of about 7.5, radial size in the range of 70-300 nm (mostly 70-90 nm) and crystallite size of less than 22 nm, are uniformly dispersed in the matrix PA6 at nanoscale. The in situ formed MCA nanoparticles greatly improve the flame retardancy and the mechanical properties of flame-retarded PA6 materials, and the introduced plasticizer dioctyl phthalate also ameliorates the related impact property. The obtained flame-retarded PA6 materials have good comprehensive performance with flame retardancy UL-94 V-0 rating at 1.6 and 3.2 mm thickness, tensile strength 48.0 MPa, elongation at break 106.3% and Izod notched impact strength 8.92 kJ/m². Compared with flame-retarded PA6 material with in situ formed MCA, the one prepared through conventional blending of PA6 with commercial MCA product has improved tensile strength but deteriorated impact strength and flame retardancy.     

Amperometric biosensor for ethanol based on immobilization of alcohol dehydrogenase on a nickel hexacyanoferrate modified microband gold electrode

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) has been immobilized on a nickel hexacyanoferrate modified microband gold electrode surface by a glutaraldehyde/bovine serum albumin (BSA) cross-linking procedure to provide a new amperometric sensor for the assay of ethanol. The resulting enzyme electrode exhibits excellent electrocatalysis for the oxidation of reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH). The amperometric determination is based on the electrochemical detection of NADH which is generated in the enzymatic reaction of ethanol with NAD(+) under catalysis of ADH. The influence of various experimental conditions was examined for the determination of the optimum analytical performance. The sensor responds rapidly to ethanol with a detection limit of (5.0 +/- 0.3) x 10(-7) mol 1(-1). The response current increases linearly with ethanol concentration up to 5 mmol 1(-1). The sensor remains relatively stable for about 1 week.     

High-efficiency, environment-friendly electroluminescent polymers with stable high work function metal as a cathode: green- and yellow-emitting conjugated polyfluorene polyelectrolytes and their neutral precursors

A series of aminoalkyl-substituted polyfluorene copolymers with benzothiadiazole (BTDZ) of different content were synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction, and their quaternized ammonium polyelectrolyte derivatives were obtained through a postpolymerization treatment on the terminal amino groups. Copolymers are soluble in environmentally friendlier solvents, such as alcohols. It was found that the efficient energy transfer occurs by exciton trapping on the narrow band gap BTDZ site under UV illumination. Only 1% of BTDZ content is needed to completely quench a fluorene emission for both the neutral and the quaternized copolymers in the neat film. Absolute PL efficiencies of copolymer films were greatly enhanced as a result of the suppression of excimer formation. Light-emitting devices fabricated from these copolymers show high external quantum efficiencies over 3% and 1% for the neutral precursor and the quaternized copolymers, respectively, with high work function metals such as Al as a cathode. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on an electroluminescent polymer which bears the high EL efficiency, the electron-injection ability from high work function metals, and the solubility in environment-friendly solvents at the same time. These features make them a promising candidate for the next generation of light-emitting copolymers in PLED flat panel display application.

Separation of salidroside from Rhodiola crenulata by high-speed counter-current chromatography

High-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was used to purify salidroside from an extract of Rhodiola crenulata with two steps using a two-phase solvent system composed of ethyl acetate-n-butanol-water (1:4:5, v/v) in the first run and chloroform-methanol-isopropanol-water (5:6:1:4) in the second run. The method yielded 21.9 mg of salidroside from 1.216 g of the crude sample at 98% purity determined by HPLC analyses. Identification was performed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS.

大肠杆菌有限生长的微量热及非线性动力学研究

The finite growth of Escherichia coli was studied by using a LKB 2277 BioActivity Mollitor. We found that the finite growth is a nonliear dynamic process. The nonlinear dynamic behaviour in the finite growth process and the nonlinear dynamic models describing the process were discovered and established. The curve of logistic map corresponding to the finite growth thermogram of Escherichia coli was obtained and the nonlinear dynamic parameters were calculated by means of a computer. Moreover, we also discussed the nonlinear dynamic characters of Escherichia colt in its finite growth process.
