Flame‐retardant and mechanical properties of phenolic foams toughened with polyethylene glycol phosphates

Three kinds of polyethylene glycol phosphates (PEGPs) toughening agents were synthesized by esterification of phosphorus pentoxide (P₂O₅) with polyethylene glycol and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra and ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance. A series of lightweight phenolic foams toughened with different loadings of PEGPs were prepared. Optical microscopy results show that the addition of PEGPs with small molecular weight PEG improves the structural homogeneity of phenolic foams obviously. The flame retardancy of toughened phenolic foams was evaluated by using UL 94, limiting oxygen index, and cone calorimeter. The results indicate that the incorporation of PEGPs not only increases the toughness of phenolic foams but also improves their flame retardancy. Moreover, the thermal stability of PEGPs and the toughened foams was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Immobilization of trypsin onto multifunctional meso-/macroporous core-shell microspheres: A new platform for rapid enzymatic digestion

A simple, fast, efficient, and reusable microwave-assisted tryptic digestion system which was constructed by immobilization of trypsin onto porous core-shell Fe₃O₄@fTiO₂ microspheres has been developed. The nanostructure with magnetic core and titania shell has multiple pore sizes (2.4 and 15.0 nm), high pore volume (0.25 cm³ g⁻¹), and large surface area (50.45 m² g⁻¹). For the proteins, the system can realize fast and efficient microwave-assisted tryptic digestion. Various standard proteins (e.g., cytochrome c (cyt-c), myoglobin (MYO), β-lactoglobulin (β-LG), and bovine serum albumin (BSA)) used can be digested in 45 s under microwave radiation, and they can be confidently identified by mass spectrometry (MS) analysis; even the concentration of substrate is as low as 5 ng μL⁻¹. Furthermore, the system for the 45 s microwave-assisted tryptic digestion is still effective after the trypsin-immobilized microspheres have been reused for 5 times. Importantly, 1715 unique proteins from 10 μg mouse brain proteins can be identified with high confidence after treatment of 45 s microwave-assisted tryptic digestion.     

Rapid simultaneous determination of four anthracene derivatives using a single non-linear variable-angle synchronous fluorescence spectrum

A rapid, simple and inexpensive spectrofluorimetric method has been developed for the simultaneous identification and quantification of anthracene (ANT), 9,10-dimethylanthracene (DIM), 2-aminoanthracene (AMI) and dibenz[ah]anthracene (DIB). A well-resolved spectrum for the mixture of these four compounds is obtained based on a single non-linear variable-angle synchronous scanning. The linear concentration ranges are 10-1,000, 5-500, 50-1,000 and 10-200 ng mL(-1) for ANT, DIM, AMI and DIB, respectively, at lambdaex/lambdaem = 358/380, 399/408, 414/465 and 298/394 nm, respectively. The analyses are performed in cyclohexane. Recoveries of 90.0-111.0% in synthetic mixtures are obtained. The detection limits are 2.0 ng mL(-1) for DIM, 2.7 ng mL(-1) for ANT, 15.8 ng mL(-1) for AMI and 4.2 ng mL(-1) for DIB. The method has also been applied to several real water samples with satisfactory results.

Theoretical studies on electronic spectroscopy and dynamics with the real-time time-dependent density functional theory

Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) has evolved into a general routine to extract the energies of low-lying excited states over the last decades. Driven by the remarkable progress of laser technology, the study of the interaction between matter and intense laser fields with ultrashort pulse duration develops rapidly. A great number of new strong field phenomena emerge. The requirement of a theoretical tool to study the intense field phenomena and dynamical processes of polyatomic systems is urgent. To extend the power of the TDDFT beyond the linear responses, an alternative scheme has been developed by numerically solving the time-dependent Kohn-Sham equations directly in real-time domain. In this article, we summarize the algorithms and capabilities of the real-time TDDFTon studying electron spectroscopy and dynamics of polyatomic systems. The failure of TDDFT with the adiabatic localdensity approximation on some dynamical processes and the possible solutions are synopsized as well. The numerical implementation of algorithms and applications of RT-TDDFT on the linear and nonlinear spectroscopies and electronic dynamics of nano-size nonmetal clusters are displayed.     

Nanocrystal formation and faceting instability in Al(110) homoepitaxy: true upward adatom diffusion at step edges and island corners

Using atomic force microscopy and spot-profile analyzing low energy electron diffraction, we have observed the existence of a striking faceting instability in Al(110) homoepitaxy, characterized by the formation of nanocrystals with well-defined facets. These hut-shaped nanocrystals are over tenfold higher than the total film coverage, and coexist in a bimodal growth mode with much shallower and more populous surface mounds. We further use density functional theory calculations to elucidate the microscopic origin of the faceting instability, induced by surprisingly low activation barriers for adatom ascent at step edges and island corners.     

碳纳米管负载钯基催化剂催化氧化2,5-呋喃二甲醇合成2,5-呋喃二甲酸

为积极应对化石能源枯竭和生态环境日益严峻等问题,可再生生物质资源的深度开发并进一步替代传统能源或石化原料被广泛认可.利用高效催化技术将生物质资源转化为高附加值的平台化合物,有望衍生出大量具备新颖结构与功能的绿色化学品.2,5-呋喃二甲酸(FDCA)作为重要的生物质基平台化合物之一,具有巨大的市场应用价值,其中因其与化石基对苯二甲酸(PTA)有着极其相似的化学结构,以FDCA替代PTA作为合成单体制备大宗聚合物备受关注.以5-羟甲基糠醛(HMF)为原料,采用多相催化体系(主要是贵金属催化剂)选择氧化制备FDCA是目前广泛采用的方法.但“HMF路线”面临一些基础性的难题,如HMF熔点较低,需低温存储,增加了实际应用中的运输成本;HMF在碱性溶液中易降解,导致反应过程中碳平衡损失;HMF结构中含有的不对称的羟基和醛基官能团在氧化反应中会发生竞争反应,致使反应副产物较多;此外,碱性反应介质中通常会得到醛基优先氧化的中间体5-羟甲基-2-呋喃甲酸(HMFCA),但由于HMFCA结构中羧基官能团的存在使得羟基进一步氧化较为困难,通常需要增加碱浓度、提升温度或压力,使反应条件变得苛刻.因此,寻求新的原料替代HMF,实现温和条件下高效合成FDCA具有重要意义.本文采用改性后的碳纳米管负载Pd催化剂(Pd/o-CNT),从具有独特对称结构的2,5-二羟甲基呋喃(BHMF)出发,提出一种新颖、高效催化合成FDCA的“BHMF路线”.反应在60°C常压下进行,BHMF在20 min内即可完全转化,60 min后FDCA的产率最高可达93.0%,优于相同条件下HMF为原料时的性能(FDCA产率仅为35.7%).相比于未作处理的碳纳米管负载钯催化剂(Pd/CNT),Pd/o-CNT催化剂具有更高含量的氢化钯(PdH_x)物种,显著促进了FDCA产率的提升.Pd/o-CNT在循环使用10次后,BHMF仍能完全转化,FDCA产率维持在75%.稳定性下降可能与活性物种流失、团聚及价态变化有关.基于对照试验,本文提出了可能的反应路径,即BHMF主要是通过2,5-二甲酰基呋喃和5-甲酰基-2-呋喃甲酸作为过程中间体,有效转化为FDCA,从而规避并减少生成HMF和活性较低的HMFCA.本文通过以新原料BHMF作底物,实现了高效制备生物基平台化合物FDCA,为生物质的产业化应用提供了新的研究思路.     

强迫谐振动下连续体结构拓扑优化

应用结构拓扑优化ICM(独立连续映射)方法,对强迫谐振动下结构拓扑优化问题建立了以重量极小为目标,位移幅值为约束的优化模型.位移幅值采用一阶泰勒展式近似,由于拓扑优化中设计变量数目通常很多,对强迫谐振动位移幅值的敏度分析推导了伴随法公式,使得一次敏度分析可以计算出对所有设计变量的偏导数,克服了采用直接法敏度分析中一次只能计算出对一个设计变量的偏导数的不足.算例表明用伴随法分析敏度在结构拓扑优化中可以大幅提高计算效率,ICM方法采用独立于截面及形状参数的拓扑优化设计变量更清晰地反映了拓扑优化的本质.
