Facile RAFT precipitation polymerization for the microwave-assisted synthesis of well-defined, double hydrophilic block copolymers and nanostructured hydrogels

Water-soluble macromolecular chain transfer agents (Macro-CTAs) were developed for the microwave-assisted precipitation polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide. Two types of Macro-CTAs, amphiphilic (Macro-CTA1) and hydrophilic (Macro-CTA2), were investigated regarding their activity for the facile formation of nanoparticles and double hydrophilic block copolymers by RAFT processes. While both Macro-CTAs functioned as steric stabilization agents, the variation in their surface activity afforded different levels of control over the resulting nanoparticles in the presence of cross-linkers. The cross-linked nanoparticles produced using the amphiphilic Macro-CTA1 were less uniform than those produced using the fully hydrophilic Macro-CTA2. The nanoparticles spontaneously formed core-shell structures with surface functionalities derived from those of the Macro-CTAs. In the absence of cross-linkers, both types of Macro-CTAs showed excellent control over the RAFT precipitation polymerization process with well-defined, double hydrophilic block copolymers being obtained. The power of combining microwave irradiation with RAFT procedures was evident in the high efficiency and high solids content of the polymerization systems. In addition, the "living" nature of the nanoparticles allowed for further copolymerization leading to multiresponsive nanostructured hydrogels containing surface functional groups, which were used for surface bioconjugation.     

硅酸钇晶体的生长、腐蚀形貌和光谱性能研究

本文采用中频感应提拉法成功生长了未掺杂的Y2SiO5(YSO)晶体,经过定向、切割、抛光后得到样品.经过腐蚀后,利用大视场显微镜和扫描电镜在样品表面上观察到了菱形和四边形的位错蚀坑、小角晶界和包裹物等缺陷;测试了经过氢气、空气退火前后,辐照前后YSO晶体的透过谱,结果表明:YSO晶体的吸收边大约在202nm,氢气退火后在200～300nm波段透过率增加,空气退火后透过率显著降低;辐照后,氢气退火的样品在200～500nm波段透过率显著降低.     

Two-photon fluorescent probes for long-term imaging of calcium waves in live tissue

2-Acetyl-6-(dimethylamino)naphthalene-derived two-photon fluorescent Ca2+ probes (ACa1-ACa3) are reported. They can be excited by a 780 nm laser beam, show 23-50-fold enhancement in one- and two-photon excited fluorescence in response to Ca2+, emit fourfold stronger two-photon excited fluorescence than Oregon Green 488 BAPTA-1 upon complexation with Ca2+, and can selectively detect intracellular free Ca2+ ions in live cells and living tissues with minimum interference from other metal ions and membrane-bound probes. Moreover, these probes are capable of monitoring calcium waves at a depth of 120-170 microm in live tissues for 1100-4000 s using two-photon microscopy with no artifacts of photobleaching.

Further Develop 1,3,4-Thiadiazole Based Probe to Effectively Detect 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol with the Help of DFT Calculations

Four fluorimetric probes had been developed to rapidly detect 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). They were designed and synthesized on the basis of 1,3,4-thiadiazole framework combining calculation with experiment. Among them, SK-1 displayed strong blue emission with fluorescence quantum yield as high as 63.6% in solution. Further evaluation demonstrated that SK-1 displays good selectivity and high sensitivity for rapid and visual detection of TNP. It brought significant changes in both colour and fluorescence emission spectrum. The detection limit was as low as 38 nM. Quenching mechanism was confirmed as photo-induced electron transfer (PET) by nuclear magnetic titration and DFT calculations. What’s more, application in real water samples and solid phase paper tests illustrated the practical significance of detection of TNP in both vapor and solution.

分配法研究碘分子与氯离子、溴离子和碘离子的络合物

文献中碘分子与卤离子生成络合物的研究已有不少报道.但有关多卤络合物的研究均是在碘分子浓度较高的情况下以及在非水溶液中的多聚反应.我们用分配法研究了在碘分子浓度较低的情况下,碘分子与氯离子、溴离子和碘离子在水溶液中的络合反应,并用作图法处理实验数据,测定了相应的各络合物的稳定常数,表明有生成多卤络合物的可能性存在.
