Miktoarms hyperbranched polymer brushes: One-step fast synthesis by parallel click chemistry and hierarchical self-assembly

Spherical molecular brushes with amphiphilic heteroarms were facilely synthesized by grafting the arms of hydrophobic 2-azidoethyle palmitate and hydrophilic monoazide-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) onto the core of alkyne-modified hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG) with high molecular weight (M _n = 122 kDa) via one-pot parallel click chemistry. The parallel click grafting strategy was demonstrated to be highly efficient (～100%), very fast (～ 2 h) and well controllable to the amphilicity of molecular brushes. Through adjusting the feeding ratio of hydrophobic and hydrophilic arms, a series of brushes with different arm ratios were readily obtained. The resulting miktoarms hyperbranched polymer brushes (HPG-g-C16/PEG350) were characterized by hydrogen-nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. The spherical molecular brushes showed high molecular weights up to 230 kDa, and thus could be visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM and dynamic laser light scattering (DLS) were employed to investigate the self-assembly properties of amphiphilic molecular brushes with closed proportion of hydrophobic and hydrophilic arms. The brushes could self-assemble hierarchically into spherical micelles, and network-like fibre structures, and again spherical micelles by addition of n-hexane into the dichloromethane or chloroform solution of brushes. In addition, this kind of miktoarms polymer brush also showed the ability of dye loading via host-guest encapsulation, which promises the potential application of spherical molecular brushes in supramolecular chemistry.     

A novel method for the analysis of calf thymus DNA based on CdTe quantum dots-Ru(bpy) 3 2+ photoinduced electron transfer system

A method has been developed for the rapid determination of calf thymus (ct) DNA that is based on the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) that occurs between CdTe quantum dots and the ruthenium(II)tris-bipyridyl complex. The latter quenches the photoluminescence (PL) of the quantum dots through PET. The Stern-Volmer quenching constant is 2,500 L?mol^?1. The intensity of the PL the system is recovered in the presence of ct DNA, and relative recovered PL intensity is linearly proportional to the concentration of ct-DNA. The dynamic range is from 17?µM to 1.5 mM of DNA, and the detection limit (at S/N?=?3) is 5.7?µM. The relative standard deviation (at 0.5 mM of ct-DNA) is 4.1% (n?=?11). A possible reaction mechanism is discussed.     

Electrochemical detection of DNA damage induced by in situ generated bisphenol A radicals through electro-oxidation

A glassy carbon electrode was modified with dsDNA and a nanocomposite composed of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and chitosan (MWNT-chit). The electrode was applied to the electrochemical detection of DNA damage as induced by in situ generated bisphenol A (BPA) radicals through electro-oxidation. The modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results indicate that MWNT-chit nanocomposite represents a viable platform for the immobilization of DNA that effectively promotes electron transfer between DNA and the electrode. The mode of interaction between DNA and BPA was investigated by differential pulse voltammetry and UV-vis spectrophotometry, indicating that the dominant interaction is intercalation. In order to explore the mechanism of damage caused by BPA radicals, the electro-oxidation of BPA at the modified glass electrode was investigated. Based on the signal for guanine without any other external indicator, DNA damage was investigated through the electro-oxidation of BPA.     

Chemical hybridization of imidized waterborne polyurethane with silica particle

Chemical hybrids of imidized waterborne polyurethane (WPU) with silica nanoparticle were synthesized by UV cure. Imide groups were introduced into the hard segment of UV curable WPU by extending the NCO-terminated prepolymers with pyromellitic dianhydride where chemical hybridization by UV cure was made between the acrylate-terminated polyurethane prepolymer and vinyltrimethoxysilane-silica oligomer. It was found that imidization of WPU and imidized WPU-silica hybrids showed remarkably high mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties at room and elevated temperatures as well as thermal stability.

Liquid Chromatographic Resolution of Racemic α-Hydroxycarboxylic Acids on Ligand Exchange Chiral Stationary Phases

Two ligand exchange chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on (S)-leucinol derivative, sodium N-((S)-1-hydroxymethyl-3-methylbutyl)-N-undecylaminoacetate, and (R)-phenylglycinol derivative, sodium N-((R)-2-hydroxy-1-phenylethyl)-N-undecylaminoacetate, covalently bonded to silica gel have been successfully applied in the resolution of nine -hydroxycarboxylic acids. The latter was more effective than the former, the separation factors () being 1.05 to 2.12 while the resolution factors (R_S) varying from 0.18 to 5.29 on the latter. The chromatographic resolution behaviors were dependent on the type and the content of organic modifier and the content of CuSO₄ in aqueous mobile phase and the column temperature. A possible chiral recognition mechanism was also proposed based on the chromatographic resolution behaviors.
