一种新的液晶高分子——丁酸壳聚糖的合成与表征

甲壳素几乎不溶于任何溶剂,由于其脱乙酰化产物壳聚糖含自由氨基,能被酸质子化而溶解,所以壳聚糖的应用领域远多于甲壳素.但是壳聚糖也仅能溶于酸性介质中,并不能溶于纯水和普通有机溶剂,因而人们对甲壳素或壳聚糖进行各种化学改性[1,2],寻求溶解性更好尤其能溶于水的衍生物,以扩大其应用范围.本文按文献[2～4]方法合成了O-丁酰化壳聚糖(简称丁酸壳聚糖),首次报道它具有溶致液晶性.     

N-TiO2/ZnO复合纳米管阵列的掺杂机理及其光催化活性

以ZnO纳米柱阵列为模板, 采用溶胶-凝胶法制备出TiO2/ZnO和N掺杂TiO2/ZnO的复合纳米管阵列. 扫描电镜(SEM)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和紫外-可见漫反射吸收光谱(UV-Vis)的结果表明: 两种阵列的纳米管均为六角形结构, 直径约为100 nm, 壁厚约为20 nm; 在N-TiO2/ZnO复合纳米管阵列中, 掺入的N离子主要是以N-Ox、N-C和N-N的形式化学吸附在纳米管表面, 仅有少量的N离子以取代式掺杂的方式占据TiO2晶格O的位置; 表面N物种形成的表面态能级和取代式掺杂导致带隙的窄化, 增强了纳米管阵列的光吸收效率, 促进了光生载流子的分离. 光催化实验结果表明, N离子的掺杂有利于N-TiO2/ZnO复合纳米管阵列光催化活性的提高.

Effect of microcrystallite preparation conditions on the formation of colloid crystals of cellulose

Stable colloidal suspensions of cellulose microcrystallites may be prepared from filter paper by sulfuric acid hydrolysis. Above a critical concentration, the suspensions form a chiral nematic ordered phase, or colloid crystal. The preparation conditions govern the properties of the individual cellulose microcrystallites, and hence the liquid crystalline phase separation of the cellulose suspensions. The particle properties and the phase separation of the suspensions were strongly dependent on the hydrolysis temperature and time, and on the intensity of the ultrasonic irradiation used to disperse the particles. The particle size of the microcrystallites was characterized with transmission electron microscopy and photon correlation spectroscopy. The surface charge was determined by conductometric titration. It was possible to fractionate the microcrystallites by size using the partitioning between isotropic and liquid crystalline phases; the longer microcrystallites migrate to the liquid crystalline phase     

Surface chemistry of nanoscale Fe_3O_4 dispersed in magnetic fluids

The interaction between stabilizers and nanoparticles is one of the important factors to prepare stable magnetic fluids. The magnetic nano-size Fe3O4 core with single domain and the average grain size around 8-12 nm were prepared by chemical precipitation method. The O/Fe molar ratio of the particle surface was measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The heat effects of stabilizers ad- sorption on nanoparticles were measured by solution calorimetry. The excess amount of oxygen was possibly the result of the hydroxygen formed on the surface of the nanoparticles. The heat effects showed that compounds containing carboxyl groups can be adsorbed chemically on magnetite by forming chemical bonds. The other stabilizers involving NH-groups, such as polyethylene-imine, can be adsorbed physically. The exothermic value is about half of the former case.     

Structural and photocatalytic properties of the new solid photocatalyst In2BiTaO7

In₂BiTaO₇ was synthesized using the solid-state reaction method and its photocatalytic properties were investigated. The results of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that the compound crystallizes in the pyrochlore-type structure, cubic system with space group Fd-3m. The lattice parameter is 10.6972(1) ?. In addition, the compound shows strong optical absorption in the visible region (λ > 420 nm) and the band gap of In₂BiTaO₇ was estimated to be about 2.47 eV. For the photocatalytic reaction, H₂ or O₂ evolution was observed from CH₃OH/H₂O or AgNO₃ solution respectively with In₂BiTaO₇ as the photocatalyst under visible light irradiation, indicating that In₂BiTaO₇ is responsive to visible light for splitting water. Furthermore, the catalyst remained photoactive in the wavelength range up to 510 nm. Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye over the compound was further investigated under visible light irradiation. The results showed that complete removal of aqueous MB could be achieved after irradiation for 135 min over In₂BiTaO₇. Furthermore, under visible light irradiation In₂BiTaO₇ showed markedly higher catalytic activity compared to P-25 for MB photocatalytic degradation.
