Facile Fabrication of PBS/CNTs Nanocomposite Foam for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

In order to reduce the pollutants of environment and electromagnetic waves, environment friendly polymer foams with outstanding electromagnetic interference shielding are imminently required. In this paper, a kind of electromagnetic shielding, biodegradable nanocomposite foam was fabricated by blending poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) followed by foaming with supercritical CO₂. The crystallization temperature and melting temperature of PBS/CNTs nanocomposites with 4 wt % of CNTs increased remarkably by 6 °C and 3.1 °C compared with that of pure PBS and a double crystal melting peak of various PBS samples appeared in DSC curves. Increasing the CNT content from 0 to 4 wt % leads to an increase of approximately 3 orders of magnitude in storage modulus and nearly 9 orders of magnitude in enhancement of electrical properties. Furthermore, CNTs endowed PBS nanocomposite foam with adjustable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding property, giving a specific EMI shielding effectiveness of 28.5 dB cm³/g. This study provides a promising methodology for preparing biodegradable, lightweight PBS/CNTs foam with outstanding electromagnetic shielding properties.     

Bioconversion of fumarate to succinate using glycerol as a carbon source

In this study, a facultative bacterium that converts fumarate to succinate at a high yield was isolated. The yield of biocon version was enhanced about 1.2 times by addition of glucose into culture medium at an initial concentration of 6 g/L. When the initial cell density was high (2 g/L), the succinate produced at pH 7.0 for initial fumarate concentrations of 30, 50, 80, and 100 g/L were 29.3, 40.9, 63.6, and 82.5 g/L, respectively, showing an increase with the initial fumarate concentration. The high yield of 96.8%/mole of fumarate in just 4 h was obtained at the initial fumarate concentration of 30 g/L. Comparing these values to those obtained with low cell culture (0.2 g/L), we found that the amount of succinate produced was similar, but the production rate in the high cell culture was about three times higher than was the case in the low cell culture. This strain converted fumarate to succinate at a rate of 3.5 g/L·h under the sparge of CO₂.

Synthesis and application of clindamycin succinate as a novel chiral selector for capillary electrophoresis

A novel chiral selector, clindamycin succinate, was synthesized and first used as a chiral selector in capillary electrophoresis (CE). The chiral resolution ability of this kind of clindamycin derivation was studied by CE using some racemic drugs as model analytes. From the experimental results, it was found that both resolution and selectivity of the selector were dependent on the following parameters: concentration of chiral selectors, pH of the running buffer, temperature of the capillary column, applied voltage and organic modifier used. The results show that the chiral selector possesses high resolution toward some racemic drugs, including ofloxacin, chlorphenamine, tryptophan, propranolol, sotalol and metoprolol. Excellent chiral resolution of these tested drugs was achieved under the optimal conditions of 50 mM clindamycin succinate, 10% MeOH v/v, 50 mM Tris buffer, pH 4.0, at 22 kV and 20 °C within 25 min.     

Gadolinium(III)‐Hydroxy Ladders Trapped in Succinate Frameworks with Optimized Magnetocaloric Effect

Two kinds of inorganic gadolinium(III)‐hydroxy “ladders”, [2×n] and [3×n], were successfully trapped in succinate (suc) coordination polymers, [Gd₂(OH)₂(suc)₂(H₂O)]_n ? 2n H₂O ( 1 ) and [Gd₆(OH)₈(suc)₅(H₂O)₂]_n ? 4n H₂O ( 2 ), respectively. Such coordination polymers could be regarded as alternating inorganic–organic hybrid materials with relatively high density. Magnetic and heat capacity studies reveal a large cryogenic magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in both compounds, namely (ΔH=70 kG) 42.8 J kg^?1 K^?1 for complex 1 and 48.0 J kg^?1 K^?1 for complex 2 . The effect of the high density is evident, which gives very large volumetric MCEs up to 120 and 144 mJ cm^?3 K^?1 for complexes 1 and 2 , respectively.     

Novel poly(butylene succinate-co-lactic acid) copolyesters: Synthesis, crystallization, and enzymatic degradation

A series of aliphatic biodegradable poly(butylene succinate-co-dl-lactide) (PBSLA) copolyesters were synthesized with the aim of improving the degradation rate of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) by incorporation of dl-oligo(lactic acid) (OLA) into the PBS molecular chains. The composition and sequential structure of the aliphatic copolyesters were investigated by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectroscopy. The crystallization behaviors, the crystal structure and morphology of the copolyesters were investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM), respectively. The results indicate that the crystallization of the copolyesters was restricted by the incorporation of lactide (LA) units, which further tuned the mechanical properties of the copolyesters. The copolyesters could form complete spherulites and exhibit the same crystal structure as that of PBS. Enzymatic study indicated that the copolyesters with higher content of LA units degraded faster, and the degradation began in the amorphous regions and then in the crystalline regions. The morphology and the resulting degradation products of the copolyesters were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ¹H NMR analysis during the degradation process.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic and DFT investigation of dimethyl-2-(5-acetyl-2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-3-(triphenylphosphinylidene)succinate

Dimethyl-2-(5-acetyl-2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-3-(triphenylphosphinylidene)succinate has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR. The vibrational wavenumbers, gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO) ¹H and ¹³C chemical shift values of title compound in the ground state have been computed with density functional theory method (DFT) and the B3LYP functional. The basis sets used are 6-311G(d,p) and 6-31G(d). The harmonic vibrational wavenumbers have been computed and the scaled values have been compared with the experimental FT-IR spectra. The complete assignments have been performed on basis of the total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanics (SQM) method. Most of the computed wavenumbers are found to be in good agreement with the observed spectrum.     

Thermal behaviors and characteristics of polylactide/poly(butylene succinate) blend films via reactive compatibilization and plasticization

Polylactide (PLA)/poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) blend films modified with a compatibilizer and a plasticizer were hot‐melted through a twin screw extruder and prepared by hydraulic press. Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and polylactide‐grafted‐maleic anhydride (PLA‐g‐MA) were used as compatibilizers, while triethyl citrate and tricresyl phosphate acted as plasticizers. The effects of the type and content of compatibilizer and plasticizer on the mechanical characteristics, thermal properties, crystallization behavior, and phase morphology of the PLA/PBS blend films were investigated. Reactive compatibilization at increasing levels of TDI improved the compatibility of the PLA and PBS, affecting the toughness of the films. As evidenced by scanning electron microscope, the addition of TDI enhanced the interfacial adhesion of the blends, leading to the appearance of many elongated fibrils at the fracture surface. Furthermore, PLA/PBS blending with both TDI and PLA‐g‐MA led to an acceleration of the cold crystallization rate and an increment of the degree of crystallinity ( ). Toluene diisocyanate could be a more effective compatibilizer than PLA‐g‐MA for PLA/PBS blend films. The synergistic combination of compatibilizer and plasticizer brought a significant improvement in elongation at break and tensile‐impact toughness of the PLA/PBS blends, compared with neat PLA. Their failure mode changed from brittle to ductile due to the improved compatibility and molecular segment mobility of the PLA and PBS phases. Differential scanning calorimeter results revealed that the plasticizers triethyl citrate and tricresyl phosphate changed the thermal behavior of T_cc and T_m, affecting α′ and α crystal formations. However, these plasticizers only slightly improved the thermal stability of the films.
