Polymerizable Molecular Silsesquioxane Cage Armored Hybrid Microcapsules with In Situ Shell Functionalization

We prepared core–shell polymer–silsesquioxane hybrid microcapsules from cage‐like methacryloxypropyl silsesquioxanes (CMSQs) and styrene (St). The presence of CMSQ can moderately reduce the interfacial tension between St and water and help to emulsify the monomer prior to polymerization. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and TEM analysis demonstrated that uniform core–shell latex particles were achieved. The polymer latex particles were subsequently transformed into well‐defined hollow nanospheres by removing the polystyrene (PS) core with 1:1 ethanol/cyclohexane. High‐resolution TEM and nitrogen adsorption–desorption analysis showed that the final nanospheres possessed hollow cavities and had porous shells; the pore size was approximately 2–3 nm. The nanospheres exhibited large surface areas (up to 486 m² g^?1) and preferential adsorption, and they demonstrated the highest reported methylene blue adsorption capacity (95.1 mg g^?1). Moreover, the uniform distribution of the methacryloyl moiety on the hollow nanospheres endowed them with more potential properties. These results could provide a new benchmark for preparing hollow microspheres by a facile one‐step template‐free method for various applications.     

Gadolinium‐Decorated Silica Microspheres as Redox‐Responsive MRI Probes for Applications in Cell Therapy Follow‐Up

The redox microenvironment within a cell graft can be considered as an indicator to assess whether the graft is metabolically active or hypoxic. We present a redox‐responsive MRI probe based on porous silica microparticles whose surface has been decorated with a Gd‐chelate through a disulphide bridge. Such microparticles are designed to be interspersed with therapeutic cells within a biocompatible hydrogel. The onset of reducing conditions within the hydrogel is paralleled by an increased clearance of Gd, that can be detected by MRI.     

3D scanning electron microscopy applied to surface characterization of fluorosed dental enamel

The enamel surfaces of fluorotic teeth were studied by scanning electron stereomicroscopy. Different whitening treatments were applied to 25 pieces to remove stains caused by fluorosis and their surfaces were characterized by stereomicroscopy in order to obtain functional and amplitude parameters. The topographic features resulting for each treatment were determined through these parameters. The results obtained show that the 3D reconstruction achieved from the SEM stereo pairs is a valuable potential alternative for the surface characterization of this kind of samples.     

Effects of high-energy ultrasound on the functional properties of proteins

In recent years, high-energy ultrasound has been used as an alternative to improve the functional properties of various proteins, such as from milk, eggs, soy and poultry. The benefits of implementing this technology depend on the inherent characteristics of the protein source and the intensity and amplitude of the ultrasound, as well as on the pH, temperature, ionic strength, time, and all of the variables that have an effect on the physicochemical properties of proteins. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the optimal conditions for each type of food. The use of ultrasound is a promising technique in food technology with a low impact on the environment, and it has thus become known as a green technology. Therefore, this review focuses on the application of high-energy ultrasound to food; its effects on the functional properties of proteins; and how different conditions such as the frequency, time, amplitude, temperature, and protein concentration affect the functional properties.     

一类具无穷时滞泛函微分方程的周期解

讨论具有无穷时滞中立型泛函微分方程$ \frac{\rm d}{{\rm d}t}\left(x(t)-\int_{-\infty}^{0}g(s,x(t+s)){\rm d}s\right) =A(t,x(t))x(t)+f(t,x_t)$的周期解问题,利用重合度理论中的延拓定理得到了周期解的存在性和唯一性条件;特别地,当$g(s,x)\equiv 0, A(t,x)=A(t)$时, 给出了存在唯一稳定周期解的条件.     

Au_(38)团簇上小分子H_2O和O_2共同吸附的第一性原理研究

利用密度泛函理论(DFT)计算的方法,对O_2,H_2O单独吸附和共吸附在Au_(38)团簇上的吸附性质进行了结构,能量和电子分析.计算结果表明,O_2倾向于吸附在edge位,H_2O则倾向于吸附在top位.Au(100)表面较之Au(111)表面更有利于O_2,H_2O的吸附,这与实验结果相符合.H_2O和O_2共吸附研究表明,H_2O的存在促进了O_2的吸附.Mulliken和分态密度(PDOS)分析得出:在共吸附中,H_2O将部分电子转移给了O_2,促进了O_2的活化与解离,并生成了类似H_2O_2的中间态,从而为催化氧化反应提供了O活性物种.     

导电聚间甲基苯胺空心微球的制备及表征

在无任何掺杂酸的条件下,以过硫酸铵(APS)既为氧化剂、又为掺杂剂,采用无模板(template-free)自组装的方法制备了导电聚间甲基苯胺(PMT)空心微球.该空心微球的平均直径约为2μm,壳的厚度约为140nm.研究表明PMT空心微球是以球状的间甲苯胺胶束为软模板(soft-template)经过自组装过程而形成的.借助FTIR、UV-Vis和XRD等结构表征证实自组装的空心微球为导电态的聚间甲基苯胺.     

A MORPHOLOGICAL STUDY OF POLY（DIVINYLBENZENE-co-ACRYLIC ACID） IN CROSSLINKING PRECIPITATION POLYMERIZATION

Divinylbenzene-80 （DVB-80） and polar monomer acrylic acid （AA） having hydrogen bonding at a total monomer loading of 5 vol% were precipitated-copolymerized in a variety of organic solvents with 2,2＇-azobis（isobutyronitrile） （AIBN） as initiator. The experiments were investigated from a two-dimensional matrix, i.e., the actual crosslinking degree of DVB varying from 0 to 80% and the solvent composition varying from 0 to 100% of toluene mixture with acetonitrile, when the mixture of acetonitrile and toluene was used as the reaction solvent. Under various reaction conditions, six distinct morphologies including soluble polymers, swellable microgels, coagulum, irregular microparticles, and nano-/micrometer microspheres were formed and the structures of these polymer architectures were described. A morphological map was utilized to discuss the effects of both crosslinking degree of DVB and composition of solvent on the transitions between morphology domains. The results demonstrated that the microspheres are formed by an internal contraction due to the marginal solvency of the continuous phase and the crosslinking of the polymer network through the covalent bonding from DVB as well as the interchain hydrogen-bonding between the carboxylic acid units.
