Simultaneous determination of nitroaromatic compounds in water using capillary electrophoresis with amperometric detection on an electrode modified with a mesoporous nano‐structured carbon material

In this article, a carbon disk electrode modified with mesoporous carbon material (CMK‐3) was used in CE with amperometric detection system for the simultaneous determination of four types of important nitroaromatic compounds, including 2,4,6‐trinitrotoluene (TNT), 1,3,5‐trinitrobenzene (TNB), 2,4‐dinitrotoluene (DNT) and 1,3‐dinitrobenzene (DNB). Compared with the bare carbon electrode, the CMK‐3 modified electrode greatly improved the sensitivity at a relatively positive detection potential due to its excellent electrocatalytic activities, high conductivity and large effective surface area. The four analytes could be well separated and detected within 480 s. A good linear response was obtained for TNB, DNB, TNT and DNT from 8.4 to 5.0×10³ μg/L, with correlation coefficients higher than 0.9992. And the detection limits were established between 3.0 and 4.7 μg/L for the four investigated nitroaromatic compounds (S/N=3). The CMK‐3‐modified electrode was successfully employed to analyze coking wastewater, tap water and river samples with recoveries in the range of 94.8–109.0%, and RSDs less than 5.0%. The presented results demonstrated that the CMK‐3‐modified carbon electrode used in CE with amperometric detection was of convenient preparation, high sensitivity and good repeatability, which could be employed in the rapid determination of practical samples.

Effect of β-Nucleating Agent on the Crystallization,Mechanical Properties,and Heat Resistance of Injection-Molded Isotactic Polypropylene

Injection-molded β-isotactic polypropylene (β-iPP) was prepared with a commercial β-nucleating agent (NT-A). The effect of NT-A on the crystallization, mechanical properties, and heat resistance of β-iPP was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), polarized light microscopy (PLM), and mechanical and heat deflection tests. DSC and WAXD analysis showed that the content of β-crystals in the nucleated iPP was higher than that of pure iPP, and the content of β-crystals of the core was higher than that of the skin. PLM observations showed that injection-molded iPP had an obvious skin-core structure. NT-A induced abundant β-crystals and resulted in small spherulites which improved the Izod notched impact strength. When the content of NT-A was 0.075wt%, the Izod notched impact strength reached a maximum, 2.6 times more than that of pure iPP. The heat distortion temperature was also improved by NT-A.     

Wetting and evaporation behaviors of molten Mg on partially oxidized SiC substrates

The wetting and evaporation behaviors of molten Mg drops on pressureless-sintered SiC surfaces were studied in a flowing Ar atmosphere at 973-1173 K by an improved sessile drop method. The initial contact angles are between 83° and 76°, only mildly depending on temperature. The formation of a ridge at the triple junction as a result of reaction between molten Mg and the SiO₂ film on the SiC surface pins the triple line and leads to a constant contact diameter mode during the entire evaporation process. Moreover, the diffusion coefficients of the Mg vapor at different temperatures were evaluated based on a simple model.

Synthesis and characterization of fluorene‐based rod–coil liquid crystal polymers

A series of fluorene‐based rod–coil liquid crystal polymers with different lengths of the coil segments on backbones were designed and synthesized by a palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki coupling‐reaction. The thermal stability, the UV–Vis absorption and fluorescence spectra in chloroform solution and thin film, the electrochemical properties, thermal behavior, and morphology of these rod–coil polymers were investigated. The thermal stability of these polymers steadily decreased on increasing the length of the coil segments on the backbone; their optical and electrochemical properties did not exhibit noticeable dependence on the weight fraction of the coil segments. However, the shoulder emission and the full width at the half‐maximum (FWHM) in PL spectra of the films increased, whereas the oxidation onset potentials and the corresponding HOMO energy levels decreased with the increase in the weight fraction of the coil segments, which was assigned to microphase separation and formation of folded chain conformation as the weight fraction of the coil segments increased. These polymers displayed a characteristic liquid crystalline texture. The variation of the weight fraction of the coil segments obviously affected the thermal behavior and morphology of these rod–coil polymers. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Solvothermal synthesis of CdS nanowires using L-cysteine as sulfur source and their characterization

An effective solvothermal reaction route has been developed for large-scale synthesis of CdS nanowires. L-cysteine was used as both sulfur source and capping reagent. The nanowires obtained were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, UV-Vis and PL. On the basis of time-resolved experiments, a possible growth mechanism was proposed. FTIR analysis confirmed the formation of Cd-cysteine complex and peptide during the reaction. The mechanism was further supported by comparative experiments with other sulfur sources.
