PREPARATION OF POLY（METHYL METHACRYLATE）/LAYERED DOUBLE HYDROXIDES NANOCOMPOSITES via in situ SOLUTION POLYMERIZATION

An exfoliated layered double hydroxides/poly(methyl methacrylate)(LDHs/PMMA)nanocomposite was prepared by in situ solution polymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA)in the presence of 4-vinylbenzenesulfonate intercalated LDHs(MgAl-VBS LDHs).MgAl-VBS LDHs was prepared by the ion exchange method,and the structure and composition of the MgA1-VBS LDHs were determined by X-ray diffraction(XRD),infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis.XRD and transmission electron microscopy(TEM)were employed to examine the structure of LDHs/PMMA nanocomposite.It was indicated that the LDHs layers were well exfoliated and dispersed in the PMMA matrix.The grafting of PMMA onto LDHs was confirmed by the extraction result and the weight fraction of grafted PMMA increased as the weight fraction of LDHs in the nanocomposites increased.     

现场表面拉曼光谱研究Fe-Mo合金诱导共沉积

现场表面拉曼光谱结果显示，在0．2mol·L-1Na2MoO4,pH＝4．0的溶液中，电位正于0．5V（vsSCE）时只观察到多钼酸盐的拉曼峰（940、880和450cm-1）．负于-0．5V时，出现中心位于730cm-1的宽峰．同时电极表面有蓝色膜生成．表明混合氧化态（MO（Ⅳ），MO（Ⅴ））氧化膜的形成．730cm-1的峰在-1．9V时仍然存在，说明氧化膜没有被进一步还原．在钼酸钠溶液中同时含有0．1mol·L-1FeSO4和0．2mol·L-1柠檬酸时，中间态氧化膜的拉曼峰的中心移到740cm-1．且峰强度随着电位从-1．3V负移到-1．9V而逐渐减弱并最终消失．电极表面沉积层呈银白色，说明由于Fe2 的存在，钼的中间态氧化膜的结构发生了变化，能够被进一步还原形成Fe－Mo合金，表现出诱导共沉积的特征．     

Effects of polystyrene-encapsulated magnesium hydroxide on rheological and flame-retarding properties of HIPS composites

In this study, polystyrene (PS)-encapsulated magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) was successfully prepared by in situ polymerization of styrene on the surface of Mg(OH)₂ in a high-speed mixer. A large amount of PS chemically bonded on Mg(OH)₂ surface was confirmed by means of FT-IR, TGA and SEM. A series of composites of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) were prepared by melt blending in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The effects of PS-encapsulated filler on the properties of HIPS composites were studied by SEM, rheology and combustion tests (horizontal burning tests and cone calorimetry). The dispersion and adhesion patterns of PS-encapsulated Mg(OH)₂ in HIPS matrix were investigated through FT-IR and SEM. The experimental results demonstrated that comparing to the composites containing untreated filler, the rheological and flame retardant properties of those containing PS-encapsulated filler were found to be significantly improved. This improvement is mostly attributed to a better dispersion of the encapsulated filler and a strong adhesion between the filler and matrix.     

Mammalian cell growth studiedin situ by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

Fourier transform infrared techniques were used to monitor mammalian cell growth plated on attenuated total reflection (ATR) crystals. Consistently, the growth kinetics plots generated from the obtained spectra demonstrated a sigmoidal curve representing a sequence of slow, rapid, then tapering cell growth which correlated well with non-spectral cell growth determinations. Significant advantages over traditional methods of measuring cell growth kinetics are demonstrated. The technique has promising potential to be used to study events in areas such as toxicology and cell biology.     

An in situ STM study on the long-range surface restructuring of Au(1 1 1) in a non-chloroaluminumated ionic liquid

We report an in situ STM study of a potential-dependent long-range surface restructuring of Au(1 1 1) electrode in neat 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborates (BMIBF₄) ionic liquid. Au(1 1 1) undergoes a significant long-range surface restructuring upon cathodic excursion to −1.0 V vs. Pt quasi-reference. The restructuring involves the formation of tiny pits, which then develops into a stable worm-like network with an average width of the network grids 2 nm. Electrochemical annealing occurs at the cathodic limit with the presence of a reduction product of cation BMI⁺. A smooth surface is recovered with the appearance of the typical (√3 × 22) reconstruction of Au(1 1 1). The surface restructuring is reestablished upon anodic excursion to −1.3 V after the adsorbed reduction product is oxidized. The long-range surface restructuring phenomenon is tentatively explained as a result of partial charge transfer to the weakly adsorbed BMI⁺, which reduces the metal–metal cohesive energy. In addition, the synergetic effect of the counter anion BF₄⁻ may also be involved. The results provide a knowledge of Au(1 1 1) electrode behavior in the neat ionic liquid and are beneficial to understanding in situ STM results involving surface morphological changes in such a media.     

微孔和介孔材料中的热化学

这篇论文综述了美国加州大学戴维斯分校科学院院士Navrotsky课题组多年来在多孔材料上取得的一系列热化学研究结果。讨论了热化学对微孔、介孔材料的结构稳定性和合成过程的影响。借助多种测热手段对影响骨架结构的热焓、热熵和自由能进行了系统的测量和计算。研究数据表明一系列纯硅分子筛、介孔材料和磷酸铝多孔材料同相应的石英相和块磷铝矿相相比能量上最多只高出15 kJ·mol-1。一系列纯硅分子筛的熵值比石英相高出3.2—4.2 J·K-1·mol-1；在0—12.6 J·K-1·mol-1范围内相对应的自由能几乎没有差别。因此，对不同微孔、介孔材料，其骨架结构在能量上是几乎没有区别的。另外，本文通过介绍一种新型测热方法——原位测热，揭示了分子筛合成过程中的动力学和成核/结晶机理。     

尼龙6与半芳香性非晶尼龙原位共混物的结构与性能

一种半芳香的非晶尼龙共聚物溶解于熔融的己内酰胺中,引发后者负离子开环聚合原位制备尼龙6与非晶尼龙的共混物.与纯尼龙6相比较,此原位共混物的强度与模量显著提高.非晶区呈现单一的玻璃化转变,表明共混物为均相体系,其组分的相容性源于负离子聚合过程中链交换反应引起的共聚.与纯尼龙6相比较,此共混物的熔点与结晶度显著降低.此外,与纯尼龙6只存在α晶不同,共混物中伴生有大量的γ晶.当非晶尼龙含量为20 wt%时,绝大部分晶体为γ晶.然而,共混物中球晶仅有一定程度细化.共混物强度和模量的提高被认为主要源于非晶区分子活动能力降低以及γ晶相对含量的提高.

In situ generated pyroglutamate bridged polyoxotitaniums with strong circular dichroism signal

In this text, we use inexpensive and natural amino acid, successfully obtained the asymmetric crystallization of three PTCs, [Tis(O~iPr)_(14)(μ_2-O)(μ_3-O)_2(D/L-pGlu)_2](D-PTC-53; L-PTC-53; H2 pGlu=pyroglutamic acid) and [Ti_6(O~iPr)_(14)(μ_2-O)(μ_3-O)_2(D-pGlu)_2][Ti_6(O~iPr)_(14)((μ_2-O)(μ_3-O)_2(L-pGlu)_2](D,L-PTC-53). Interestingly, in situ lactamide reaction starting from glutamic acid to pyroglutamic acid was observed. In addition,the chirality features of these PTCs have been thoroughly discussed.The two enantiomers crys tallize in chiral P21 space group.The optically pure pGlu ligands transform its chirality to the inorganic titanium oxo clusters. As a result, the stack of these inorganic clusters generates homochiral helical chains along the characteristic axial direction.Apart from the microscopic structural analysis, the macroscopic solid-state samples exhibit unusual strong circular dichroism(CD) signals,further verified the homochiral feature of the enantiomers.
