This report details the properties of fluorine-containing anion exchange membranes(AEMs) synthesized by chloromethylation and quaternization of fluorinated poly(arylene ether)s(FPAEs) based on decafluorobiphenyl and bisphenol A. Meanwhile, we compared their properties with those of their non-fluorinated counterparts, Udel-based AEMs. The reactivity of the chloromethylation of fluorinated poly(arylene ether)s was lowered by the strong electron-withdrawing group, per-fluorinated biphenyl residue. Therefore higher temperature, more chloromethylation reagent, and longer reaction time were needed in the chloromethylation of FPAEs. Because of the hydrophobicity of fluorine, the swelling of FPAEs was depressed. In the FPAE-based AEMs, the water uptake of FPAE-1 membrane(F-1) was just 30%. There is a strong correlation between water uptake and conductivity for both Udel- and FPAE-based AEMs. Among all the membranes, the water uptake and the conductivity of FPAE-3 membrane(F-3) could reach up to 100% and 13.47 mS/cm respectively at 30 ℃. The mechanical properties of FPAE-based AEMs at room temperature were worse than those of Udel-based ones because of the weak intermolecular interaction caused by the low polarizability of fluorine. However, their high temperature mechanical properties are better, which can be explained in terms of low swelling. 相似文献
The influence of water vapor on silica membrane with pore size of 4 ? has been investigated in terms of adsorption properties and percolation effect at 50 and 90 oC. Two methods are employed: spectroscopic ellipsometry for water vapor adsorption and gas permeation of binary mixture of helium and H2O. The adsorption behaviors on the silica membrane comply with the first-order Langmuir isotherm. The investigation demonstrates that helium flux through the silica membrane decreases dramatically in presence of H2O molecules. The transport of gas molecules through such small pores is believed not to be continuous any more, whereas it is reasonably assumed that the gas molecules hop from one occupied site to another unoccupied one under the potential gradient. When the coverage of H2O molecules on the silica surface increases, the dramatic decrease of helium flux could be related to percolation effect, where the adsorbed H2O molecules on the silica surface block the hopping of helium molecules. 相似文献
With a view towards direct methanol fuel cell applications, novel sulfonated poly(phenylene sulfide sulfone nitrile) (sPPSSfN) has been prepared and subsequently crosslinked by a Friedel‐Craft reaction using 4,4′‐oxybis(benzoic acid) as a crosslinker to achieve lower water swelling and lower methanol permeability. The dimensional change of SPPSSfN40 is 43.7% in 90 °C liquid water but that of the crosslinked membrane, XsPPSSfN40, is 23.3% while maintaining proton conductivity at 0.22 S · cm−1. These results show that the Friedel‐Craft crosslinking of the novel sPPSSfN membrane effectively reduces water uptake and the degree of swelling while improving the dimensional stability and maintaining high proton conductivity.
Effective intracerebral delivery is key for glioma treatment. However, the drug delivery system within the brain is largely limited by its own adverse physical and chemical properties, low targeting efficiency, the blood–brain barrier and the blood–brain tumor barrier. Herein, we developed a simple, safe and efficient biomimetic nanosuspension. The C6 cell membrane (CCM) was utilized to camouflaged the 10-hydroxycamptothecin nanosuspension (HCPT-NS) in order to obtain HCPT-NS/CCM. Through the use of immune escape and homotypic binding of the cancer cell membrane, HCPT-NS/CCM was able to penetrate the blood–brain barrier and target tumors. The HCPT-NS is only comprised of drugs, as well as a small amount of stabilizers that are characterized by a simple preparation method and high drug loading. Similarly, the HCPT-NS/CCM is able to achieve targeted treatment of glioma without any ligand modification, which leads it to be stable and efficient. Cellular uptake and in vivo imaging experiments demonstrated that HCPT-NS/CCM is able to effectively cross the blood–brain barrier and was concentrated at the glioma site due to the natural homing pathway. Our results reveal that the glioma cancer cell membrane is able to promote drug transport into the brain and enter the tumor via a homologous targeting mechanism. 相似文献
ζ-potential measurements on LUVs allow to evidence the influence of pH, ionic salt concentration, and polyelectrolyte charge on the interaction between polyelectrolyte (chitosan and hyaluronan) and zwitterionic lipid membrane. First, chitosan adsorption is studied: adsorption is independent on the chitosan molecular weight and corresponds to a maximum degree of decoration of 40% in surface coverage. From the dependence with pH and independence with MW, it is concluded that electrostatic interactions are responsible of chitosan adsorption which occurs flat on the external surface of the liposomes. The vesicles become positively charged in the presence of around two repeat units of chitosan added per lipid accessible polar head in acid medium down to pH = 7.2. Direct optical microscopy observations of GUVs shows a stabilization of the composite liposomes under different external stresses (pH and salt shocks) which confirms the strong electrostatic interaction between the chitosan and the lipid membrane. It is also demonstrated that the liposomes are stabilized by chitosan adsorption in a very wide range of pH (2.0 < pH < 12.0). Then, hyaluronan (HA), a negatively charged polyelectrolyte, is added to vesicles; the vesicles turn rapidly negatively charged in presence of adsorbed HA Finally, we demonstrated that hyaluronan adsorbs on positively charged chitosan-decorated liposomes at pH < 7.0 leading to charge inversion in the liposome decorated by the chitosan-hyaluronan bilayer. Our results demonstrate the adsorption of positive and/or negative polyelectrolyte at the surface of lipidic vesicles as well as their role on vesicle stabilization and charge control. 相似文献
