Wettability and surface energy of parylene F deposited on PDMS

For the first time, the wettability and surface energy of parylene F were investigated. The results showed that parylene F had a hydrophobic surface with an eigen water contact angle of 104.7 ± 0.6°. We found that 3.5 μl probe liquid was an optimal value for the contact angle measurement of parylene F. Moreover, we found that the Lifshitz–van der Waals/acid–base approach was unsuitable for determining the surface energy of parylene F, whereas the Owens–Wendt–Kaelble approach and the limitless liquid–solid interface wetting system were compatible. The surface energy of parylene F was estimated to be 27.06 mJ/m² (Owens–Wendt–Kaelble) and 40.41 mJ/m² (Limitless liquid-solid interface wetting system). Furthermore, this investigation also provided a reference for the applications of empirical and physics-based semi-empirical approaches for the estimation of surface energy.

Secondary succession and its effects on soil moisture and nutrition in abandoned old-fields of hilly region of Loess Plateau, China

Floristic composition, community structure and soil moisture and nutrient contents in abandoned fields of different ages were analyzed to clarify the regenerative aspects of succession as a tool for vegetation restoration. The results indicated that secondary succession in this region can be interpreted as an auto-succession: there are main changes in species-relative abundance and species turnover. Annual or biennial species (e.g. Artemisia scoparia), acted as pioneers and strongly dominated the early stages. Then, they underwent a progressive decline, while forbs (e.g. Artemisia sacrorum) and grasses (e.g. Xanthium sibiricum) had their peak abundance at intermediate stages. Dwarf shrubs (e.g. Lespedeza dahurica) and short rhizome grass (e.g. Bothriochloa ischaemum) appeared at mid-succession stage and gradually increased in abundance during succession, becoming dominant at late stages. The first axis of detrended correspondence canonical analysis arranged the sites according to their fallow time, indicating a successional sere. The second axis, associated with diverging pathways of regeneration, correlated with topographic factors and soil moisture and nutrition. Structural divergence between plots increased as succession went on, attained the highest at the mid-succession stage, decreased at the late stage.

Soil moisture and available phosphorus content decreased steadily with field age after their abandonment, whereas pools of organic matter, total and available nitrogen, potassium and total phosphorus increased with field age. The pace and direction of recovery of native vegetation and natural soil properties in these abandoned fields resembled classic old-field succession, which is a form of secondary succession that often serves as a template for guiding restoration efforts. Interface between the abandoned field soil and plant system was crucial to the above process. Our current study supported the generally accepted hypothesis in the succession literature.     

单碱基多样性的非测序检测

单碱基多样性（SNP）是最常见的基因突变形式之一,经研究证明与很多疾病相关。虽然测序是检测SNP的重要方法,但其需要检测仪器,且检测时间较长,限制了其临床应用。本文综述了SNP的常见非测序分析方法。首先讨论了检测的热力学问题,并归纳了主要的检测策略：基于杂交的检测,基于链取代反应的检测和酶介导的检测。在三维均相检测方法中,主要介绍了不同信号开关策略,如荧光开关、酶识别开关和场效应开关。三维原位检测不仅能检测SNP,还能提供其细胞定位信息,在细胞异质性较高时更具优势。二维界面检测的识别反应速率和杂交效率受到一定影响,但界面检测能进一步减小干扰,亦便于实现高通量检测。以DNA正四面体探针界面为代表的改良界面具有优良的灵敏度和特异性。同时本文亦讨论了现有方法的局限性,并对SNP非测序检测研究进行展望。     

界面扩张流变法研究C12mimBr对Gemini12-2-12在空气/水界面聚集行为的影响

采用界面扩张流变技术研究了季铵盐偶联表面活性剂C₁₂-(CH₂)₂-C₁₂·2Br (Gemini12-2-12)及其与离子液体表面活性剂溴化1-十二烷基-3-甲基咪唑(C₁₂mimBr)复配体系的动态界面张力、扩张流变性质和界面弛豫过程等, 探讨了C₁₂mimBr 对C₁₂mimBr/Gemini12-2-12 混合体系界面性质的影响及C₁₂mimBr 对Gemini12-2-12界面聚集行为影响的机制. 结果表明, 随着离子液体表面活性剂的不断引入, 体系界面吸附达到平衡所需的时间逐渐缩短, 扩张模量和相角明显降低, 界面吸附膜由粘弹性膜转变为近似纯弹性膜; 同时, 界面及其附近的弛豫过程也发生显著变化, 慢弛豫过程消失, 快弛豫过程占主导地位, 且离子液体浓度越高, 快弛豫的贡献越大. 这些界面性质的变化主要归因于离子液体表面活性剂C₁₂mimBr参与界面形成及两表面活性剂在界面竞争吸附的结果. 少量离子液体表面活性剂C₁₂mimBr 的加入可以填补疏松的Gemini12-2-12 界面上的空位, 形成混合界面吸附膜. 随着C₁₂mimBr 含量的增加, 嵌入界面的C₁₂mimBr 分子数不断增多, 导致界面上相互缠绕的Gemini12-2-12烷基链“解缠”, 在体相和界面分子扩散交换的过程中“解缠”的Gemini12-2-12分子从界面上解吸回到体相, 与此同时, C₁₂mimBr 分子相对较小的空间位阻及较强的疏水作用促使其优先扩散至界面进而取代Gemini12-2-12分子, 最终界面几乎完全被C₁₂mimBr分子所占据.     

铂族金属催化剂低温 CO氧化研究近期进展

CO氧化可能是多相催化领域最常见的反应,它不仅能作为探针反应研究催化剂结构、反应活性位等,而且在诸多实际过程如空气净化、汽车尾气污染物控制、燃料电池所用氢源净化等扮演重要角色.最早的 CO氧化催化剂为霍加拉特剂,其组分主要为 CuO与 MnO2混合氧化物,然而在实际应用过程中存在低温活性低、吸湿易失活等缺点.1987年, Haruta等发现湿化学法制备的氧化物负载 Au催化剂表现出非常高的低温 CO氧化活性及耐水稳定性,其 Au粒子以纳米尺度分散,进而引发了催化研究领域的“淘金热”及纳米催化研究热潮.而 CO氧化通常作为考察 Au催化剂结构性质的探针反应,也成为考核其它金属催化剂是否具有高活性的判据之一. Pt族金属上 CO氧化反应从 Langmuir等研究开始至今已有100多年,然而低温下该金属催化剂活性与 Au催化剂相比要低一个数量级.本质原因为 Pt族金属上 CO吸附较强, O2吸附与活化受到抑制,而该步骤被认为是 CO氧化的速控步,因而表现出较低的催化活性.通常 Pt族金属催化剂需要100oC以上 CO才能脱附, O2进而得以吸附.目前研究人员采取多种策略,其基本原则为削弱 Pt族金属上 CO吸附强度或者提供其它活性位供 O2吸附与活化.本综述将概括近十年来Pt族金属催化剂 CO氧化研究进展,主要总结室温甚至超低温条件下的研究成果.高活性 CO氧化催化剂主要是通过采用可还原氧化物为载体或助剂,或者改变催化剂表面性质如使表面富 OH基物种来形成. Au催化剂的研究发现,改变金属粒子尺寸极有可能获得不同寻常的催化性能,而常规的 Pt族金属催化剂研究主要是在纳米尺度.近期人们发现逐渐减小 Pt族金属粒子尺寸,从纳米到亚纳米甚至单原子时,其电荷状态逐渐呈正价形式,这有利于削弱其 CO吸附强度.此外,可通过增强金属载体间的相互作用,改变金属载体接触方式,如从核壳到交叉结联结构,构筑出更多的金属载体界面,使得 O2更容易吸附与活化或稳定更多的 OH基物种进而在此界面与吸附的 CO反应.伴随着表征技术的发展, CO氧化机理的认识也更加深入,这给催化剂的设计带来更多新的思路.(1)改变 CO吸附活化位,将 CO吸附活化位从金属转移到载体上,从而大大降低 CO吸附强度,活化的 CO物种在反应过程中容易溢流到金属载体界面处,这甚至有利于超低温度下(–100oC左右) CO氧化.(2)改变 O2活化形式. O2通常在 Pt族金属上容易以解离氧原子形式存在,通过改变载体、金属载体界面性质使得 O2以分子氧形式活化,如形成超氧或过氧物种,这有利于降低 CO氧化的活化能垒,进而提高其低温甚至超低温下 CO氧化活性.今后,设计并合成出在超低温度下能够氧化 CO的 Pt族金属催化剂将成为 CO氧化催化剂研究的重要方向之一.

BBDMS-PPV/ITO界面结构ADXPS研究

聚合物电致发光器件（Polymer Electroluminescent Device,PLED)已显示出广阔的应用前景^[1-6]。已往人们比较重视阴极材料的选择及相关金属与有机界面的研究^[7],而有关发光层或空穴传输层与阳极ITO膜之间的界面结构及化学问题则少见报道。事实上,ITO膜与有机层之间的作用对器件的可靠性及寿命具有更为严重的影响^[8,9]。由于异质界面的过渡层结构复杂,以纳米尺度上化学组成是非计量比的,因此对这种极薄的埋藏界面的研究方法还需进一步探索。本文通过模型试样制备和变角X射线光电子谱（ADXPS）技术,对PLED中共轭导电聚合物聚2,5－二（二甲基正丁基硅基）对苯乙烯撑（BBDMS－PPV）与阳极ITO膜所形成的界面结构进行了初步研究。     

Analysis of viscosity abnormalities of polyelectrolytes in dilute solutions

It was found that the interface effects in viscous capillary flow influenced the process of viscosity measurement greatly,and the abnormal viscosity behaviors of polyelectrolytes as well as neutral polymers in dilute solution region were ascribed to interface effect.According to this theory,we have reviewed the previous viscosity data of derivatives of poly-2- vinylpyridine reported by Maclay and Fuoss first.Then,the abnormal viscosity behaviors of a series of sodium polystyrene sulfonate samples with various molecular weights in dilute aqueous solutions were studied further.The solute adsorption behaviors and structural information of polymers have been discussed carefully.
