Poly(phenylene oxide) modified cyanate resin for self‐healing

Self‐healing cyanate ester resins (CE) were developed by adding low molecular weight poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) resin, yielding a high performance CE/PPO system via a low‐temperature process. The addition of PPO improved the flexural strength and fracture toughness of the CE matrix without sacrificing thermal properties. CE/PPO formulations with 5, 10, and 15 wt.% PPO showed 43%, 65%, and 105% increase in fracture toughness due to a combination of crack deflection, crack pinning, and matrix cavitation around second‐phase particles. When PPO was introduced into the CE, dielectric properties were either unchanged or declined. During thermal treatment to heal damaged CE, liquid PPO flowed into cracks, and during subsequent cooling, solidified to bond the crack surfaces. The self‐healing efficiency for CE with 15 wt.% PPO after heating to 220°C for 1 h exhibited a recovery of 73% in toughness and 81% in microtensile strength.

The synthesis and the bulk rheological properties of the highly-branched block polyethers

Several kinds of highly-branched block polyethers were synthesized via anion ring-opening polymerization of propylene oxide (PO) and ethylene oxide (EO), using phenol-amine resin (PA) as the initiator. The rheological properties determined by rotational rheometer all followed the regular rules of polymer systems: under a certain conditions, the bulk polyethers were pseudoplastic and non-Newtonian fluid, and with the increasing of the shear rate and temperature, the apparent viscosity of the block copolymers were reduced. In addition, modulus determination showed that such polyether molecules presented preferable viscosity compared to the elasticity, meanwhile, storage modulus, loss modulus and compound viscosity all decreased with the increasing of temperature. Storage modulus and loss modulus increased along with the scanning frequency increasing. But compared with the same kind of linear polymers, the significant difference was the low melt viscosity, which attributed to the special three-dimension space structure hindering the entanglement of chains. Furthermore, the rheological properties among the several block polyethers showed differences obviously. In other words, the number of block and the content of EO all have a significant effect on the rheological properties, specifically, the modulus will increase with the increasing of the block number and the EO content.     

Effect of Cofactor Folate on the Growth of Corynebacterium glutamicum SYPS-062 and l-Serine Accumulation

The direct fermentative production of l-serine from sugar has attracted increasing attention. Corynebacterium glutamicum SYPS-062 can directly convert sugar to l-serine. In this study, the effects of exogenous and endogenous regulation of cofactor folate on C. glutamicum SYPS-062 growth and l-serine accumulation were investigated. For exogenous regulation, the inhibitor (sulfamethoxazole) or precursor (p-aminobenzoate) of folate biosynthesis was added to the medium, respectively. For endogenous regulation, the gene (pabAB) that encodes the key enzyme of folate biosynthesis was knocked out or overexpressed to obtain the recombinant C. glutamicum SYPS-062 ΔpabAB and SYPS-062(pJC-tac-pabAB), respectively. The results indicated that decreased levels of cofactor folate supported l-serine accumulation, whereas increased levels of cofactor folate aided in cell growth of C. glutamicum SYPS-062. Thus, this study not only elucidated the role of folate in C. glutamicum SYPS-062 growth and l-serine accumulation, but also provided a novel and convenient approach to regulate folate biosynthesis in C. glutamicum.

Potent Dual BET/HDAC Inhibitors for Efficient Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer

As one of the most aggressive and lethal human malignancies with extremely poor prognosis, there is an urgent demand of more effective therapy for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Reported here is a new, effective therapeutic strategy and the design of small‐molecule inhibitors that simultaneously target bromodomain and extra‐terminal (BET) and histone deacetylase (HDAC), potentially serving as promising therapeutic agents for pancreatic cancer. A highly potent dual inhibitor ( 13 a ) is identified to possess excellent and balanced activities against BRD4 BD1 (IC₅₀=11 nm ) and HDAC1 (IC₅₀=21 nm ). Notably, this compound shows higher in vitro and in vivo antitumor potency than the BET inhibitor (+)‐JQ1 and the HDAC inhibitor vorinostat, either alone or and in combination, highlighting the advantages of BET/HDAC dual inhibitors for more effective treatment of pancreatic cancer.
