Extraction Separation of BSA in Aqueous Two-Phase Systems of Anionic and Cationic Surfactant Mixtures

Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) are formed in mixtures of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), and sodium bromide (NaBr). Two different kinds of ATPS appear when CTAB and SDS surfactants are in excess, respectively. Such ATPS may provide a new, useful partitioning system for separation of bovine serum albumin (BSA). The partitioning of BSA was studied in these systems. The results show that the partitioning is affected by the electrical property, the hydrophobicity and the structure of liquid crystal (LC), which exists in the top phase of the ATPS. BSA is extracted into the top phase with higher distribution coefficient when LC and BSA are oppositely charged. The hydrophobicity of LC, which can be improved by increasing the length of alkyl group, enhances the distribution coefficient. The hydrophobicity of lamellar LC and hexagonal LC is stronger than that of cubic LC, which causes extractive capability of the former is higher than the latter.     

Raney Ni催化二亚糠基丙酮加氢制取长链烷烃前驱体的特性研究

采用Raney Ni为催化剂,考察了反应温度、压力、时间和溶剂对二亚糠基丙酮加氢制取长链烷烃前驱体催化性能的影响。结果表明,Raney Ni对二亚糠基丙酮具有很好的低温加氢性能,升高反应温度和压力均有利于加氢反应的进行,但过高的温度反而不利于加氢反应。在50℃和2.5 MPa下反应2 h,二亚糠基丙酮转化率达99.5%以上,饱和加氢产物的总选择性达到80.8%。此外,加氢中间产物的变化结果表明,二亚糠基丙酮的双键加氢容易程度为,烯键>呋喃环双键>C=O双键。Raney Ni 在甲醇溶剂中的加氢性能明显高于在四氢呋喃、环己烷或水溶剂中的加氢性能。

SAPO-11分子筛晶化过程研究

采用X射线衍射、X射线荧光光谱、扫描电镜和固体核磁等方法研究了SAPO-11分子筛的水热晶化过程.结果表明,晶化初期,SAPO-11和一种具有磷硅铝组成的未知晶相同时生成;随着晶化的进行,中间相溶解,SAPO-11的生成速率大大增加,呈现快速晶化的特征;至2.33h后,SAPO-11的结晶度接近100%,并保持至晶化结束.硅从晶化初期即参与了SAPO-11的形成,它在晶体中的含量随晶化时间的延长而逐渐增加.硅原子主要以硅岛的形式分布于SAPO-11分子筛骨架中,从而导致多种硅配位环境的存在.分析显示,SAPO-11分子筛呈现外表面富硅的特点,结合晶化过程的分析可推测,硅在SAPO-11分子筛晶体中的分布不均匀,其含量从内向外递增.     

Efficient white emitting copolymers based on bipolar fluorene-co-dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide-co-carbazole backbone

Efficient white light emitting polymers were synthesized based on poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide) as blue emitter and a bisphenylamine functionalized 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (DPABT) as red emitter. It was found that the incorporation of hole-transporting carbazole moiety into polymer main chain could effectively reduce the hole injection barriers, which can lead to distinctly improved charge balance in the emissive layer. Additionally, the hole-transporting carbazole units may form efficient bipolar host with electron-transporting dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide units. The white light emitting diodes based on single polymer PFSOCzDPABT showed the maximum luminous efficiency of 3.3 cd/A with the maximum luminance of 10282 cd/m2 , and the luminous efficiency showed only 24% roll off at current density of 400 mA/cm2 . These Commission Internationale d’Enclairage (CIE) coordinates of the devices changed slightly with the driving voltages increasing from 8 V to 12 V, and were very close to National Television System Committee (NTSC) standard white light emission of (0.33, 0.33). The results indicated that the incorporating bipolar host and low band gap DPABT unit was a promising way to achieve efficient single white light emitting copolymers.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Novel Mixed-metal Alkoxide Clusters of Ytterbium and Sodium: Yb4O4（OiPr）16Na12

The mixed-metal cluster Yb4O4(OiPr)16Na12 has been synthesized and structurally determined by IR, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the cubic system, space group P23 with a = b = c = 13.9788(3), V = 2731.55(10)3 , Z = 1, Dc = 1.202 g/cm 3 , Mr = 1977.42, = 3.480 mm-1 , F(000) = 972, the final R = 0.0288 and wR = 0.1511 for 1677 observed reflections with Ⅰ > 2σ(Ⅰ). X-ray analysis reveals that Yb4O4 (OiPr)16Na12 is centrosym-metric and the structure contains four ytterbium metals and twelve sodium metals, and each ytterbium atom is coordinated by six oxygen atoms. In addition, an ancillary computational analysis of the optimized molecular unit was provided. The large energy gap (3.31 eV) between HOMO and LUMO indicates that the structure framework is particularly stable.     

Preparation of single-hole hollow polymer nanospheres by raspberry-like template method

Single-hole hollow polymer nanospheres were fabricated by raspberry-like template method using "graft-from" strategy through atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Nanometer-sized silica spheres were covalently attached onto the surfaces of micrometer-sized silica spheres. Crosslinked polymer shells on the nano-sized spheres outside the attached area were formed by "graft-from" strategy through ATRP. After removal of the silica cores, single-hole hollow crosslinked polymer nanospheres were obtained. In this strategy, most of ATRP monomers may be used and thus many functional groups can be easily incorporated into the single-hole hollow crosslinked polymer nanospheres.     

Oriented polymer dispersed discotic liquid crystals

Polymer dispersed discotic liquid crystals (PDDLCs) were prepared using the hexa-n-octanoate of rufigallol (RHO) and three polymer matrices: polystyrene (PS), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA). The molecular orientation of RHO in stretched PDDLC films was characterized by means of infrared dichroism. It was found that the stretching of films that contain RHO in both the columnar D1 and crystalline phase can effectively align columns of RHO along the stretching direction, with the short axes of the rigid cores lying in the plane of the film. By contrast with stretched polymer dispersed nematic liquid crystals, no orientation of RHO is induced for films stretched with RHO in the isotropic phase, followed by rapid cooling to room temperature. However, if stretched films are cooled under strain into the columnar D1 phase, orientation of RHO can develop with time.     

Silaffin Peptides as a Novel Signal Enhancer for Gravimetric Biosensors

Application of biomimetic silica formation to gravimetric biosensors has been conducted for the first time. As a model system, silaffin peptides fused with green fluorescent protein (GFP) were immobilized on a gold quartz crystal resonator for quartz crystal microbalances using a self-assembled monolayer. When a solution of silicic acid was supplied, silica particles were successfully deposited on the Au surface, resulting in a significant change in resonance frequency (i.e., signal enhancement) with the silaffin–GFP. However, frequency was not altered when bare GFP was used as a control. The novel peptide enhancer is advantageous because it can be readily and quantitatively conjugated with sensing proteins using recombinant DNA technology. As a proof of concept, this study shows that the silaffin domains can be employed as a novel and efficient biomolecular signal enhancer for gravimetric biosensors.
