Effect of the urethane group on treated clay surfaces for high-performance poly(butylene succinate)/montmorillonite nanocomposites

We successfully modified organic clays containing the urethane group by introducing a covalent bond between the silanol group on the clay side and the hydroxyl group of organic modifier in the silicate layer using 1,6-diisocyanatohexane (HDI), namely surface-treated montmorillonite (30BM), to increase both basal spacing and the favorable interaction between clay and polymer. The effect of the surface urethane modification of clay on poly (butylene succinate) (PBS)/30BM nanocomposites was studied. The results of transmission electron microscopy micrographs at a 10-nm resolution and X-ray diffraction measurements allowed us to examine the degree of the high exfoliation and the effect of surface urethane modification on clay dispersibility. As results of high exfoliation, PBS/30BM nanocomposites not only exhibited the high thermal properties, but also showed a remarkable increase in physical properties (e.g., tensile strength, Young's modulus, elongation at break) due to enhanced affinity between the clay and PBS matrix. Over all, the results suggest that wide gallery spacing and the predominant affinity between PBS and clay must be considered simultaneously to increase the degree of exfoliation and physical properties as key factors.     

Iron monosulfide (FeS) oxidation by dissolved oxygen: characteristics of the product layer

Samples of FeS were oxidized by oxygen‐bearing acidic solutions at 25 °C and different initial pH values (2.75 ≤ pH ≤ 3.45). The reacted FeS samples were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms measurements, and FT‐Raman spectroscopy. A sulfur rich phase (layer) is inferred to be form on reacting FeS surface based on sequential extraction with acidic chromium(II) chloride solutions. The sulfur‐rich layer (SRL) formed on oxidized FeS samples is traversed by various mesopores with average pore size < 450Å. It is reasonable to assume that the mesopores facilitate the migration of iron and sulfur from FeS structure into solution across SRL. The FT‐Raman spectra of oxidized FeS samples show an intense peak at 162 cm^?1, which can be attributed to SRL developed on FeS surface. A model for SRL development on FeS during its oxidation by dissolved oxygen has been proposed from the present results and previous studies. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1-苯基-3-甲基-4-甲酰基-5-吡唑啉酮Cu(Ⅱ)配合物的合成及晶体结构

A novel Cu(Ⅱ) complex of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-acyl-5-pyrazolone was synthesized and crystallogra-phically characterized. The single-crystal structure of the complex reveals that the crystal belongs triclinic, space group P1 with cell parameters a=0.938 7(4) nm, b=1.124 4(5) nm, c=1.222 3(5) nm, α=99.538(7)°, β=104.049(8)°, γ=113.806(6)°, and Z=2, V=1.093 3(8) nm³. Cu(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated by two 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-acyl-5-pyrazolone ligands, and one methanol molecule giving a coordination number of five, the coordination polyhedron around Cu(Ⅱ) ion can be described as a square pyramid. Two complex units link to each other through the hydrogen-bonding interactions to form a dimer. Meanwhile, a staircase-like layer structure was built up by offset face-to-face π…π stacking interactions and weak interactions between the dimers. CCDC: 625422.     

Effect of SDBS on interfacial electron transfer at the liquid/liquid interface by thin layer method

The effect of an adsorbed anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate(SDBS) on electron transfer(ET) reaction between ferricyanide aqueous solution and decamethylferrocene(DMFc) located on the adjacent organic phase was investigated for the first time by thin layer method.The adsorption of SDBS at the interface resulted in a decay in the cathodic plateau current of bimolecular reaction with increasing concentrations of SDBS in aqueous phase.However,the rate constant of electron transfer(k_(et)) i...     

Mass spectrometric analysis of the S-layer proteins from Clostridium difficile demonstrates the absence of glycosylation

Like many other bacterial cell surfaces, the cell wall of Clostridium difficile is also encapsulated by a proteinaceous paracrystalline layer, the surface (S)-layer. In many bacterial species, the S-layer proteins (SLPs) have been shown to be glycosylated, whereas in other species glycosylation is absent. Unusually, the S-layer of C. difficile is composed of two distinct proteins, the high-molecular weight (HMW) and low-molecular-weight (LMW) SLPs. Previous investigations have reported that one or both of these SLPs are glycosylated, though no definitive study has been conducted. We have used a variety of mass spectrometric approaches to analyse SLPs from a number of strains of C. difficile for the presence of associated glycans. Analysis of intact SLPs by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation time of flight (MALDI-ToF) mass spectrometry demonstrated that the observed molecular masses matched the predicted masses of the LMW and HMW SLPs. Furthermore, analysis of Cyanogen bromide (CNBr) and tryptic peptides displayed no evidence of post-translational modification. In the first in-depth study of its kind, we unequivocally demonstrate that the S-layer proteins from the C. difficile strains investigated are not glycosylated.     

Chemical Infiltration during Atomic Layer Deposition: Metalation of Porphyrins as Model Substrates

New uses for ALD : By applying standard metal oxide atomic layer deposition (ALD) to two types of porphyrins, site‐specific chemical infiltration of substrate molecules is achieved: Diethylzinc can diffuse into the interior of porphyrin supramolecular structures and induce metalation of the porphyrin molecules from the vapor phase.
