基底界面效应对聚苯乙烯薄膜分子运动行为的影响

本文研究了Si／Si02、Si／Si—H基底与聚苯乙烯（Ps）之间的界面相互作用对Ps薄膜的玻璃化转变及相关力学性能的影响．结果显示,无论何种基底,Ps薄膜的玻璃化转变温度（L）都随其厚度降低而降低．但相同厚度（〈110nm）下,以Si／Si-H为基底时Ps薄膜的瓦比以Si／Si02为基底的PS薄膜高．Si／Si02表面Ps薄膜疋开始下降的临界厚度为110nm,远高于以Si／Si—H为基底时的40nm．对Ps薄膜的膨胀系数和弹性模量进行研究,也得到相似的临界厚度．另外,与Si／Si02基底相比,在Si／Si-H上的Ps薄膜具有更低的膨胀系数以及较高弹性模量．可能原因是Si／Si-H与Ps具有较强的相互作用,限制了该界面分子的运动能力,导致基底／PS界面效应对薄膜分子运动的影响力增强,造成该薄膜瓦的厚度依赖性下降,并呈现出相对较硬的力学特征．     

Mechanism and Cellular Kinetic Studies of the Enhancement of Antioxidant Activity by Using Surface‐Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles

The enhanced antioxidant activity of surface‐functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) synthesized by self‐assembly has attracted great attention, but little is known about the mechanism behind the enhanced activity. To address this challenge, the antioxidant activity of Au@PEG3SA (i.e., surface‐functionalization of spherical AuNPs with the antioxidant salvianic acid A) was used as an example to illustrate the mechanism of the enhanced activity. Evaluation of the antioxidant activity was performed in a radical‐scavenging reaction between Au@PEG3SA and 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. As expected, the rate constant for the reaction of Au@PEG3SA with DPPH was about nine times greater than that for the salvianic acid A monomer. A comparative analysis of the spectral characteristics of Au@PEG3SA and the salvianic acid A monomer further imply that the enhancement of the antioxidative reaction kinetics may be ascribed to the variation in the transition state for the DPPH‐radical scavenging reaction through π–π stacking interactions between and among adjacent groups on the surface of Au@PEG3SA. On the other hand, the kinetic enhancement of Au@PEG3SA on reactive‐oxygen‐species (ROS) scavenging can be observed in living cells and in vivo, which possibly provides new insight for the bioapplication of self‐assembly of surface‐functionalized AuNPs.     

Bioconjugation of Proteins with a Paramagnetic NMR and Fluorescent Tag

Site‐specific labeling of proteins with lanthanide ions offers great opportunities for investigating the structure, function, and dynamics of proteins by virtue of the unique properties of lanthanides. Lanthanide‐tagged proteins can be studied by NMR, X‐ray, fluorescence, and EPR spectroscopy. However, the rigidity of a lanthanide tag in labeling of proteins plays a key role in the determination of protein structures and interactions. Pseudocontact shift (PCS) and paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) are valuable long‐range structure restraints in structural‐biology NMR spectroscopy. Generation of these paramagnetic restraints generally relies on site‐specific tagging of the target proteins with paramagnetic species. To avoid nonspecific interaction between the target protein and paramagnetic tag and achieve reliable paramagnetic effects, the rigidity, stability, and size of lanthanide tag is highly important in paramagnetic labeling of proteins. Here 4′‐mercapto‐2,2′: 6′,2′′‐terpyridine‐6,6′′‐dicarboxylic acid (4MTDA) is introduced as a a rigid paramagnetic and fluorescent tag which can be site‐specifically attached to a protein by formation of a disulfide bond. 4MTDA can be readily immobilized by coordination of the protein side chain to the lanthanide ion. Large PCSs and RDCs were observed for 4MTDA‐tagged proteins in complexes with paramagnetic lanthanide ions. At an excitation wavelength of 340 nm, the complex formed by protein–4MTDA and Tb³⁺ produces high fluorescence with the main emission at 545 nm. These interesting features of 4MTDA make it a very promising tag that can be exploited in NMR, fluorescence, and EPR spectroscopic studies on protein structure, interaction, and dynamics.     

Computational studies on the injection,transport, absorption,and phosphoresce properties of a series of cationic iridium (III) complexes [Ir(C∧N)2(L)2]+ (C∧N = ppy,tpy, dfppy,bzq)

Quantum chemistry methods are applied to investigate the electronic structures, injection and transport properties, absorption and phosphorescence mechanism of a series of Iridium (III) complexes [Ir(C∧N)₂(L)₂]⁺ (L = 4‐pyCO₂Et; C∧N = 2‐phenylpyridine, 1 ; 2‐(4‐tolyl)pyridine, 2 ; 2‐(4,6‐difluorophenyl)pyridimato, 3 ; benzoquinoline, 4 ), which may be used as emitters on organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Calculations of ionization potentials and electron affinities are used to evaluate the injection abilities of holes and electrons into these complexes. The reorganization energy (λ) calculations show that the four complexes are suitable as emitters in OLEDs. The absorptions and emissions can be tuned by adding substituent to the ppy ligand or extending the π‐conjugation effect of the C∧N ligand, and quantum yields of 1 – 4 are investigated. In addition, no solvent effect is observed in the absorption and emission spectra. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Primary Gas Sensing Properties of CuO Nanosheets

Uniformity nanosheets of CuO were prepared by a mild hydrothermal synthesis method. Phase analysis was carried out using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and the result confirmed the CuO nanosheets as a single phase. The field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was used to observe the morphology of CuO nanosheets while the gas sensing properties of these unique CuO nanosheets were tested at a static state system. The results show that the CuO has uniformity nanosheets, and the gas sensing property show that the CuO nanosheets gas sensor has a stable gas response and the same gas sensitivity trend to tested gases. This method may be suitable for larger-scale production of these CuO nanosheets for practical applications.
