Evolution of concentration fluctuation during phase separation of polystyrene/poly(vinyl methyl ether) blend in the presence of nanosilica

The influence of nanosilica on the concentration fluctuation of polystyrene/poly (vinyl methyl ether) (PS/PVME) mixtures was investigated during phase separation. The amplitude of concentration fluctuation was quantified by dielectric spectrums based on the idea of Lodge–Mcleish model and the linearized Cahn–Hilliard theory could describe the amplitude evolution of concentration fluctuation at the early stage of phase separation. Hydrophilic nanosilica A200 dispersed in PVME‐rich phase behaved an obvious inhibition effect on the concentration fluctuation of blend matrix, while hydrophobic nanosilica R974 dispersed in PS‐rich phase had little effect on the concentration fluctuation. The kinetics and amplitude evolution of concentration fluctuation during phase separation for PS/PVME/A200 nanocomposites were remarkably restrained due to the surface adsorption of PVME on A200. As the segmental dynamics of PVME and PS in homogeneous matrix was hardly influenced by A200 and R974, the enhanced miscibility and the significantly constrained flow relaxation of PVME chains might contribute to the retarded concentration fluctuation of PS/PVME/A200 nanocomposites. While the weak interaction between R974 and components of blend matrix and little effect of R974 on the molecular dynamics of PS chains may result in the weak retardation of concentration fluctuation for blend matrix. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermodegradable multisegmented polymer synthesized by consecutive radical addition‐coupling reaction of α,ω‐macrobiradicals and dithioester

A consecutive radical addition‐coupling reaction involving dithioester is applied to produce thermodegradable multisegmented polymer using α,ω‐dibromo polymer as precursor. The macroradical generated by single electron transfer process promoted by Cu/ligand from α,ω‐dibromo polymer can efficiently add to ethyl dithiobenzoate, which results intermediate adduct radical. The in situ formed adduct radical immediately undergoes crosscoupling reaction with macroradical, generating segmented polymer bridged with C? S bond. The consecutive radical addition‐coupling reaction generates multisegmented polymer linked by C? S bond following step‐growth mechanism. The multisegmented polymer can be thermodegraded in the presence of hydrogen atom donor or air. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2012     

Comparison between Single-mode Treatment and Multi-mode Treatment of a Coaxial Bragg Resonator for a Terahertz Cyclotron Autoresonance Maser Oscillator

As a coaxial Bragg structure has more complex geometry configuration than a cylindrical or a planar Bragg structure, for simplicity of calculation a single-mode treatment is often adopted. However, heterogeneity of a coaxial Bragg structure always gives rise to the multi-mode conversion, which can change the performance of the resonator. Based on the scattering matrix method, detailed comparison between the single-mode treatment and the multi-mode treatment is presented to a coaxial Bragg resonator for a cyclotron autoresonance maser (CARM) oscillator operating in the higher-order mode TE₆₁ at frequency of 0.35 THz. Results indicate that there is a little difference between the results obtained by these two treatments to the upstream reflector due to its shallow ripple amplitude, whereas to the downstream reflector, due to its relatively deep ripple amplitude, an apparent difference occurs at the operating frequency and consequently it gives notable difference to the frequency response and Q-factor of the whole resonator. Optimization shows possible application of a coaxial Bragg resonator with a single higher-order mode operation in constructing a terahertz CARM oscillator.

Covalently Assembled Dipeptide Nanospheres as Intrinsic Photosensitizers for Efficient Photodynamic Therapy in Vitro

Monodispersed diphenylalanine‐based nanospheres with excellent biocompatibility are fabricated through a facile covalent reaction‐induced assembly. Interestingly, the nanospheres exhibit red autofluorescence. Most importantly, such assembled dipeptide nanospheres can serve as intrinsic photosensitizer to convert O₂ to singlet oxygen (¹O₂). Thus, photodynamic therapy in vitro can be achieved effectively. The versatile strategy could be extended to other biomolecules containing a primary amine group for the fabrication of potential intrinsic photosensitizers.
