Carboxylate and ammonium functionalities—32 of each— facilitate electrostatic interaction between oppositely charged dendrimer electrolytes and porphyrin cores, which leads in protic media to a supramolecular, fluorescence-active aggregate of two chromophores that communicate and have a predictable topology (see drawing on the right; A=acceptor, D=donor). In contrast to the complexation of linear polyelectrolytes, the contact area for the two dendrimer molecules is very limited, just as one would expect for an assembly of spherical molecules. 相似文献
PREMIER (PREmixed Mixture Ignition in the End-gas Region) combustion occurs with auto-ignition in the end-gas region when the main combustion flame propagation is nearly finished. Auto-ignition is triggered by the increases in pressure and temperature induced by the main combustion flame. Similarly to engine knocking, heat is released in two stages when engines undergo this type of combustion. This pattern of heat release does not occur during normal combustion. However, engine knocking induces pressure oscillations that cause fatal damage to engines, whereas PREMIER combustion does not. The purpose of this study was to elucidate PREMIER combustion in natural gas spark-ignition engines, and differentiate the causes of knocking and PREMIER combustion. We applied combustion visualization and in-cylinder pressure analysis using a compression–expansion machine (CEM) to investigate the auto-ignition characteristics in the end-gas region of a natural gas spark-ignition engine. We occasionally observed knocking accompanied by pressure oscillations under the spark timings and initial gas conditions used to generate PREMIER combustion. No pressure oscillations were observed during normal and PREMIER combustion. Auto-ignition in the end-gas region was found to induce a secondary increase in pressure before the combustion flame reached the cylinder wall, during both knocking and PREMIER combustion. The auto-ignited flame area spread faster during knocking than during PREMIER combustion. This caused a sudden pressure difference and imbalance between the flame propagation region and the end-gas region, followed by a pressure oscillation. 相似文献
The morphology and size dependence of silver microstructures in a novel microfabrication process, fatty salts-assisted multiphoton
photoreduction (MPR), were investigated by using the fatty salts with different carbon chain lengths (Cn: n=4,5,7,9) under varied powers and irradiation times of a femtosecond near-infrared laser with the wavelength of 800 nm. Not
only the feature size of the silver structures was reduced but also the surface smoothness was improved by increasing the
chain length of the fatty salts. The highest resolution of a silver line was obtained to be 285 nm, which exceeded the diffraction
limit. The fatty salts-assisted MPR microfabrication approach would provide an efficient protocol for fabricating metallic
micro/nanostructures with fine morphology and size and could play an important role in the fabrication of the metallic micro/nanostructures
for applications in photonics and electronics as well as in sensors. 相似文献
We fabricate photonic crystal slab microcavities embedded with GaAs quantum dots by electron beam lithography and droplet epitaxy. The Purcell effect of exciton emission of the quantum dots is confirmed by the micro photoluminescence measurement. The resonance wavelengths, widths, and polarization are consistent with numerical simulation results. 相似文献
In this study, a direct numerical simulation based on compressible flow dynamics has been applied to the autoignition and extinction of a high-pressure hydrogen jet spouting from a tube. The diameter of the tube is 4.8 mm. The length of the tube is 71 mm. At the inlet, pressure is set at 3.6, 5.3 and 21.1 MPa, and temperature is set at 300 K for all cases. To explore the autoignition of hydrogen jet, two-dimensional axisymmetric Navier–Stokes equations with a detailed chemical kinetics and rigorous transport properties have been employed. The hydrogen jet through the tube is choked. The numerical results show that the high-pressure hydrogen jet produces a semi-spherical shock wave in the ambient air at the early time of jetting. The shock wave heats up the air to a high temperature and causes the autoignition of the hydrogen and air mixture in the tube as well as at the tube exit. 相似文献
Highly branched cyclic dextrin derivatives (CH‐CDex) that are partly substituted with cholesterol groups have been synthesized. The CH‐CDex forms monodisperse and stable nanogels with a hydrodynamic radii of ≈10 nm by the self‐assembly of 4–6 CH‐CDex macromolecules in water. The CH‐CDex nanogels spontaneously trap 10–16 molecules of fluorescein isothiocyanate‐labeled insulin (FITC‐Ins). The complex shows high colloidal stability: no dissociation of trapped insulin is observed after at least 1 month in phosphate buffer (0.1 M , pH 8.0). In the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA, 50 mg · mL?1), which is a model blood system, the FITC‐Ins trapped in the nanogels is continuously released (≈20% at 12 h) without burst release. The high‐density nanogel structure derived from the highly branched CDex significantly affects the stability of the nanogel–protein complex.
Dual counter-current chromatography (dual CCC) has been successfully applied to rapid sample preparation for the simultaneous determination of residual carbaryl, fenobucarb and methomyl in vegetable oil and citrus fruit. The citrus fruit samples were extracted with n-hexane solution containing stable isotopically labeled internal standards (methomyl-d3, fenobucarb-d3 and carbaryl-d9), and applied to dual CCC using a two-phase solvent system of n-hexane-acetonitrile to purify the carbamate pesticides from aliphatic sample matrix. The coiled column was rotated at 420 rpm, the lower mobile phase was introduced through the head toward the tail, and the upper mobile phase in the opposite direction. Due to the high partition efficiency of dual CCC, the lower phase fraction collected from 2 to 5 min after injection could be subjected to flow-injection tandem mass spectrometry directly after concentration. Repetitive sample injection can be performed at high reproducibility without a risk of contamination from the compounds retained in the column. 相似文献
Synthesis of oligothiophenes of well-defined structures that possess 2-8 thiophene units is performed with a new synthetic strategy involving C-H homocoupling of bromothiophenes and cross-coupling with organostannanes. Tolerance of the carbon-bromine bond to the palladium-catalyzed C-H homocoupling results in oligothiophenes bearing C-Br bonds at the terminal thiophene rings, which allow further transformation by the catalysis of a transition-metal complex. 相似文献
A new preparation method of 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-2-(trifluoroethenyloxy)-ethanesulfonyl fluoride (8) has been developed utilizing the unique performance of the imidazole protective group. Namely, the electrodonating character of the imidazole protective group on the sulfonyl group enables the formation of the novel intermediate monomer, which can be easily converted to 8 by the reaction with HF. 相似文献
