1,3-取代方酸衍生物非线性光学性质的从头算和半经验方法的比较研究

The structures of 1,3-substituted squaraine derivatives Sq1 ～ Sq12 were fully optimized by ab initio HF method with 6-31G* basis set level,and the electronic structures of Sq1 ～ Sq12 were also calculated. Based on the optimized structures,the electronic spectra were obtained by the CIS / 6-31G* method,which suggested that the max absorption wavelength mainly resulted from the electronic transition from HOMO to LUMO. The second nonlinear optical coefficients（β0）were calculated using ab initio CPHF method at 6-31G* basis set level and FF / AM1,FF / PM3,FF / MNDO,FF / MINDO3 methods. A systematic comparison between the results was carried out. It indicated that the second nonlinear optical coefficients were affected dramatically by the properties of five-membered hetero-rings. β0 can be enhanced by introducing pyrrole,thiazole and oxazole. The position of five-membered rings containing two heteroatoms which were connected with four-membered squaraine rings also affected β0 .     

Preparation of β-cyclodextrin-polyaniline complex in supercritical CO2

A method is proposed to prepare β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)/polyaniline (PANI) inclusion complex. In this route, benzoyl peroxide (BPO, the oxidant) is first encapsulated into the cavity of β-CD. Aniline is then carried into the cavity of β-CD by supercritical (SC) CO₂, which polymerizes in situ to form inclusion complex. The product is characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, ¹H NMR and XRD techniques. The results suggest that the columnar inclusion complexes may be formed.     

The orientation parameter for energy transfer in restricted geometries including block copolymer interfaces: a Monte Carlo study

We describe Monte Carlo simulations of resonance energy transfer (RET) experiments for immobile donor (D) and acceptor (A) dyes confined to planar, cylindrical, and spherical restricted geometries. We compare values of the quantum efficiency (PhiET) evaluated through consideration of individual donor-acceptor pairs, with values calculated assuming a pre-averaged value of the orientation parameter /kappa/2 = 0.476 appropriate for infinite three dimensional (3D) space. For dyes confined to restricted geometries where the length scale of the confining dimension is less than or equal to the F?rster radius R0, the coupling of the orientation parameter and the donor-acceptor distance becomes noticeable. Values of Phi(ET) obtained by proper consideration of the orientation parameter are smaller than those calculated using /kappa/2 = 0.476. We use this Monte Carlo method to reanalyze the fluoresce decay measured from dye-labeled poly(isoprene-b-methyl methacrylate) diblock copolymer with lamellar structure,(1) from which the interface thickness for PI-PMMA lamella can be retrieved. We found the retrieved interface thickness is sensitive to the choice of dipole orientation. If all dipoles in the confined polymer interface have a random orientation, the value of interface thickness was found to be 0.9 +/- 0.2 nm through consideration of individual dipole orientations. Assumption of /kappa/2 = 0.476 in the FRET calculations leads to a larger value of interface thickness (1.3 +/- 0.2 nm) due to the neglect of the coupling between dipole orientation and D-A distance for the dyes confined to lamellar interfaces.     

Preparation and characterization of a novel pH-sensitive ion exchange resin

Methylacrylic acid/styrene cross-linked with divinylbenzene is a novel pH-sensitive ion exchange resin. Microspheres of this resin were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The microspheres showed a pulsatile swelling behavior when the pH of the media changed. The pH-sensitive microspheres were loaded with salbutamol sulfate and the drug-release characteristics were studied under both simulated gastric and intestinal pH conditions. The results obtained showed that the drug release also depended on the pH of the release media.     

Highly photoluminescent multilayer QD-glass films prepared by LbL self-assembly

A novel and facile preparation method for layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembled films incorporating quantum dots (QDs) and having intense photoluminescence (PL) from blue to red is presented. Functional sol-gel-derived glass layers prepared by the hydrolysis of 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APS) or 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) have been used as a linkage between QD layers. Absorption, PL spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy were employed for characterization, which revealed that the QDs in the prepared films had a nearly close-packed coverage and were not aggregated. The PL efficiencies of the QDs (CdTe or ZnSe, both are thioglycolic acid-stabilized) dispersed in the films were roughly half that of the initial colloidal solutions but reached 24% before a refractive index correction. The thickness of the red-emitting film with 10 CdTe QD layers was approximately 50 nm. The concentration of QDs in the film derived from the first absorption peak was approximately 0.01 M. Because the PL starts to show a red shift, the obtained concentration is practically the ultimate one in the glass matrix. The mercapto, amino, and carboxyl groups play important roles in LbL self-assembling processes.     

Preparation and evaluation of a large-volume radial flow monolithic column

In this study, a 38 mL monolith with homogeneous porous structure was produced by a single polymerization from glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) in the presence of porogens and an initiator. The uniform temperature distribution within the reaction system was achieved by adding reactant mixture continuously and enhancing the heat transfer ability of the polymerization system. Homogeneous porous structure in the monolith was proved by SEM and the pore size distribution profiles measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry. Experimental results from proteins separation indicated that the dynamic capacity and resolution of radial flow monolithic column were independent of flow rates. Furthermore, the pressure drop on the column was linearly dependent on the flow rate and did not exceed 1.7 MPa even at a flow rate of 50 mL/min, which proved that the prepared monolith could be used in the quick separation and preparation of biopolymers.     

Synthesis and Properties of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide) Hydrogels

Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide) [Poly(NIPAAm-co-AAm)] with different feed ratios were obtained by radiation polymerization using Co⁶⁰γ-rays. Swelling equilibrium data in various media: deionized water, aqueous NaCl solutions and different pH buffer solutions, were determined. It appeared that the lower critical transition temperature (LCST) of the hydrogels increased with an increasing acrylamide content and decreased with increasing ionic strength. Moreover, LCST was affected by pH.

MMA/DVB emulsion surface graft polymerization initiated by UV light

Methyl methacrylate/1,2-divinylbenzene (MMA/DVB) in an opaque emulsion were successfully grafted onto the surface of polymeric substrate under the irradiation of UV light with benzophenone (BP) as a photoinitiator that was previously coated on the substrate surface. Monomer conversion, grafting efficiency, and grafting yields were determined by the gravimetric method. ATR-IR, AFM, and TEM were used to characterize the surface composition, to observe the topography of the grafted substrates, and to view inter-film colloid particles formed by cross-linking. The results reveal that, with the opaque MMA/DVB emulsion system and CPP film as substrate, the monomer conversion is in the range of 15-55%, the grafting efficiency is about 80%, the grafting yield reaches 5%, and the thickness of the graft layer can be controlled in the range 0.09-1.5 microm. Images of AFM show that the graft layer is piled up by nanoparticles (about 30-50 nm in diameter), which are linked together and tied to the substrate surface with covalent bonds. A possible model of surface graft polymerization including surface initiating, nucleation, and shish kebab growing is put forward to interpreting the above results.
