Characterization of partially transesterified poly(beta-hydroxyalkanoate)s using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) was used for the characterization of a partially transesterified poly(beta-hydroxyalkanoate), PHA, polymer produced by the bacterial strain Alcaligenes eutrophus using saponified vegetable oils as the sole carbon sources. The transesterification was carried out separately under acidic and basic conditions to obtain PHA oligomers weighing less than 10 kDa. The intact oligomers were detected in their cationized [M + Na](+) and [M + K](+) forms by MALDI-TOFMS. A composition analysis, using the MALDI-TOF spectra, indicate that the oligomers obtained via acid catalysis were terminated with a methyl 3-hydroxybutyrate end group, and those obtained by base catalysis had a methyl crotonate (olefinic) termination. In addition to HB (hydroxy butyrate), the oligomers were found to contain a small percentage of HV (hydroxy valerate). This was independently confirmed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In comparison, the analysis of a commercial PHA polymer, transesterified under identical conditions, only showed the presence of HB, i.e. a pure PHB homopolymer.

The X2 Pi and A2 sigma states of FCN+ and ClCN+ : ab initio calculations and simulation of the HeI photoelectron spectra of FCN and ClCN

Geometry optimization and harmonic vibrational frequency calculations at the CASSCF, MP2 and CCSD(T) levels with basis sets up to 6-311G(2df) quality were carried out on the X¹Σ⁺states of FCN and ClCN and the X²Π and A²Σ⁺ states of their cations. Adiabatic ionization energies were calculated up to the CCSD(T)/6-311G(3df)//CCSD(T)/6-311G(2d) level. Some B3LYP calculations were performed also for the ground states of the neutral molecules and the cations. Franck-Condon simulations were performed for the first two bands in the He I photoelectron spectra of FCN and ClCN by employing the ab initio computed geometries and frequencies. By comparing the observed and the simulated spectra obtained from different CN and CX (X = F or Cl) ionic bond lengths chosen on the basis of the ab initio computed values, the following structural parameters are obtained for the two lowest-lying states of FCN⁺ and ClCN⁺ (the method of deriving the uncertainties is described):     

More efficient Brownian dynamics algorithms

We examine the relative efficiencies of three- algorithms for performing Brownian Dynamics simulations without many-body hydrodynamics. We compare the conventional Brownian Dynamics algorithm of Ermak (CBD), Smart Monte Carlo (SMC) which incorporates Boltzmann sampling into essentially a CBD procedure, and the Stochastic Runge Kutta (SRK) method. We show, using the repulsive potential φ(r) = ε(σ/r) ⁿ , where n = 36 and 72, that the SRK algorithm gives the most accurate short-time dynamics for the mean-square displacements. The SRK algorithm static and dynamical properties converge better with a reducing time step to the exact values, than those generated by the CBD algorithm; giving efficiency gains typically of a factor of 3–4. Both CBD and SMC have the incorrect sign for the first correction term to the mean square displacement in a time step, whereas the SRK algorithm gives essentially the exact solution to order Δt ², where Δt is the simulation time step. In fact, these correction terms are almost equal and opposite in sign. Expressions for these terms were derived in terms of the average interaction energy per particle. The force, shear and bulk stress autocorrelation functions were calculated. The average energy per particle and time correlation functions at short time have values in excess of the exact values, while the corresponding quantities for SRK are below this. This difference in behaviour can be traced back to the extent of compliance of the particle trajectories with the exact expansion of the Smoluchowski equation. The accuracy, at a given value of the time step, of the stochastic algorithms can significantly depend on the form of the interaction potential between particles. It is also demonstrated that the long time limits of various correlation functions are fairly insensitive to a particular scheme (SRK or CBD) used in the simulations. All the correlation functions have a stretched exponential region at intermediate to long times, and the values of the exponents on density and force law steepness have been determined.

FULLERENE POLYMERS WITH TUNABLE OPTICAL PROPERTIES

Light transmission spectra of THF solutions of poly (C_(60)-co-methyl methacrylate)s andpoly (C_(60)-co-styrene)s continuously red-shift with increasing concentration. Formation offullerene nanoclusters may be responsible for the unusual spectral shift with concentration.It has long been scientists' dream to "tune" material's properties by simple means, and theC_(60)-containing polymers represent such a group of novel materials whose optical propertiesare predictably and reversibly tunable by a simple change in concentration.

单向纤维增强环氧复合材料的热膨胀系数

本文在123—413K的温度范围内,测量了单向玻璃纤维和碳纤维增强环氧树脂复合材料α_P~C(纤维方向),α_(T1)~C(横截面板厚度方向),α_(T2)~2(横截面板宽度方向)三个热膨胀系数.研究了纤维体积分数V_f和纤维表面处理对α_P~C和α_T~C的影响.结果表明,α_P~C在整个温度范围内不受纤维表面处理影响,随V_f的增加而减小,变化规律符合Schapery方程.对于横向热膨胀系数,在T<基体玻璃化温度T_g~m时,有α_(T1)~C α_(T2)~C=α_(T)~C,在V_f 0.3时,有α_T~C>α_m(基体的),而后随V_f的增加而减小,经分析也符合Schapery理论.在T>T_g~m时,α_(T1)~C和α_(T2)~C呈各向异性,特别在纤维表面未处理时更为显著.形态研究表明,其原因是在纤维铺层之间存在片状树脂层.
