Ring‐Opening Polymerization of Propylene Oxide by Double Metal Complex in Micro‐Reactor

The ring‐opening polymerization of propylene oxide catalyzed by double metal complex (DMC) is carried out in continuous micro‐reactor (C‐MR). It is found that the monomer conversion at the C‐MR outlet is usually 100% within 2 min of average residence time, which means that the polymerization rate in the C‐MR is faster than that in a traditional semi‐continuous tank reactor. However, the induction period still exists in the polymerization in C‐MR, but can be shortened by increasing the reaction temperature or the micro‐reactor length. The mechanism of monomer coordination and ring opening on DMC during the induction period is confirmed by the ¹H NMR analysis of the samples obtained under very short average residence time. The molecular weight distribution (MWD) of product from C‐MR is generally narrow, which indicates that the process still maintain the characteristics of the “living” polymerization. That is, there is a very high rate ratio of chain transfer to chain propagation provided by the DMC catalyst. However, with the same average residence time, the MWD of product from the longer C‐MR is broader, which can be attributed to the increase of the chain propagation rate caused by rise of pressure.     

The graphene nanopowder for electro-catalytic oxidation of dopamine and uric acid in the presence of ascorbic acid

The graphene nanopowder for electro-catalytic oxidation of dopamine and uric acid in the presence of ascorbic acid has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry,linear polarization and chronoamperometry.The graphene nanopowder modified electrode was prepared using the drop coating method,which displayed excellent electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of dopamine and uric acid compared with the bare glassy carbon electrode in phosphate buffer solution at pH=7.0.Linear responses for dopamine and uric acid were obtained in the ranges of3.3μmol/L to 249.1μmol/L and 6.7μmol/L to 386.3μmol/L with detection limits of 1.5μmol/L and 2.7μmol/L(S/N=3),respectively.The response time was less than 2 s in case of dopamine and 3 s in case of uric acid,respectively.The results demonstrated that the graphene nanopowder had potential for detecting dopamine and uric acid.     

Dynamic study of ammonium dawsonite doped with yttrium transformation at elevated temperatures

Co-precipitation of alumina/YAG precursor from aluminum and yttrium nitrates solution with ammonium carbonate results in dawsonite (NH₄Al(OH)₂CO₃). Its crystallographic parameters differ from the compound precipitated without the yttrium additive. It indicates that yttrium ions become incorporated into the dawsonite structure. The DSC/TG and X-ray measurements show decomposition of dawsonite at elevated temperature resulting in γ-Al₂O₃ which transforms to δ and θ modifications at still higher temperatures. The full transformation to α-Al₂O₃ and YAG occurs at temperatures higher than 1,230 °C.     

Properties of hollow molecules probed by single-photon double ionization

The formation of hollow molecules (with a completely empty K shell in one constituent atom) through single-photon core double ionization has been demonstrated using a sensitive magnetic bottle experimental technique combined with synchrotron radiation. Detailed properties are presented such as the spectroscopy, formation, and decay dynamics of the N(2)(2+) K(-2) main and satellite states and the strong chemical shifts of double K holes on an oxygen atom in CO, CO2, and O2 molecules.     

Approximation of common fixed points of a countable family of continuous pseudocontractions in a uniformly smooth Banach space

In this paper, we introduce a new implicit iterative algorithm for finding a common element of a countable family of continuous pseudocontractions in a uniformly smooth Banach space. We obtain some strong convergence theorems under suitable conditions. Our results extend the recent results announced by many others.
