Simultaneous determination of antioxidants at a chemically modified electrode with vitamin B12 by capillary zone electrophoresis coupled with amperometric detection

In the paper, a new kind of vitamin B₁₂ (acquo-cobalamine) chemically modified electrode was fabricated and applied in capillary zone electrophoresis coupled with amperometric detection (CZE-AD) for simultaneous determination of six antioxidants in fruits and vegetables. The catalytic electrochemical properties of the chemically modified electrode could obviously enhance oxidation peak heights responses by about five times to glutathione, ascorbic acid, vanillic acid, chlorogenic acid, salicylic acid, and caffeic acid compared with common carbon disk electrode. Furthermore, the effects of working electrode potential, pH and concentration of running buffer, separation voltage and injection time on CZE-AD were investigated. Under the optimum conditions, the six analytes could be completely separated and detected in a borate-phosphate buffer (pH 8.4) within 15 min. Their linear ranges were from 2.5 × 10⁻⁷ to 1.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹ and the detection limits were as low as 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹ magnitude (S/N = 3). The proposed method has been successfully employed to monitor the six analytes in practical samples with recoveries in the range 96.0-106.0% and RSDs less than 5.0%. Above results demonstrate that capillary zone electrophoresis coupled with electrochemical detection using vitamin B₁₂ modified electrode as detector is of convenient preparation, high sensitivity, good repeatability, and could be used in the rapid determination of practical samples.     

Effects of concentration of nonionic surfactant and molecular weight of polymers on the morphology of anisotropic polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) composite particles prepared by solvent evaporation method

The effects of the concentration of polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether (OP-10) as a nonionic surfactant and the molecular weight of polymers (polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)) on the morphology of anisotropic PS/PMMA composite particles were investigated. In the case of polymers with lower molecular weight (M _w ≈ 6.0 × 10⁴ g/mol), the PS/PMMA composite particles have dimple, via acorn, to hemispherical shapes along with the increase of the OP-10 concentration. On the other hand, when the polymers have higher molecular weight (M _w ≈ 3.3 × 10⁵ g/mol), the morphology of PS/PMMA composite particles changed from dimple, via hemispherical, to snowman-like structure while the concentration of OP-10 was increased. Furthermore, thermodynamic analysis was first simply made by spreading coefficients, and the results indicated that both the concentration of OP-10 aqueous solution and the molecular weight of polymers were very important to the final morphology of anisotropic composite particles.     

Surface hydrophilization for polypropylene microporous membranes: A facile interfacial crosslinking approach

A hydrophilic surface is very important for hydrophobic separation membranes such as polypropylene microporous membranes (PPMMs). In this work a facile and effective method, interfacial crosslinking combined with pretreatment by dielectric barrier discharge plasma at atmospheric pressure, was developed for endowing PPMMs with a hydrophilic and charged surface. Poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) and p-xylylene dichloride were selected for quaternization crosslinking to form a positively charged coating layer, which was characterized with FT-IR/ATR, XPS, and FESEM. Water contact angle and pure water flux measurements were conducted to evaluate the surface hydrophilicity. The influence of surface charges on protein filtration was also investigated. It is found that the mass gain of interfacial crosslinking increases almost linearly with increasing the PDMAEMA concentration from 0.5 to 10 g/L. The crosslinking degree is larger than 80% according to the XPS results, ensuring the stability of the crosslinking layer. The surface hydrophilicity is demonstrated by the sharp decrease of water contact angle from 145° to 20°. The pure water flux also increases 3 times under the optimized conditions. Furthermore, the results of protein filtration suggest that these highly hydrophilic and charged surfaces can effectively resist the fouling of proteins.     

High flux nanofiltration membranes based on interfacially polymerized polyamide barrier layer on polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous scaffolds

Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous scaffold was used as a mid-layer support in a new kind of high flux thin film nanofibrous composite (TFNC) membranes for nanofiltration (NF) applications. The top barrier layer was produced by interfacial polymerization of polyamides containing different ratios of piperazine and bipiperidine. The filtration performance (i.e., permeate flux and rejection) of TFNC membranes based on electrospun PAN nanofibrous scaffold was compared with those of conventional thin film composite (TFC) membranes consisting of (1) a commercial PAN ultrafiltration (UF) support with the same barrier layer coating and (2) two kinds of commercial NF membranes (i.e., NF90 and NF270 from Dow Filmtec). The nanofiltration test was carried out by using a divalent salt solution (MgSO₄, 2000 ppm) and a cross-flow filtration cell. The results indicated that TFNC membranes exhibited over 2.4 times more permeate flux than TFC membranes with the same chemical compositions, while maintaining the same rejection rate (ca. 98%). In addition, the permeate flux of hand-cast TFNC membranes was about 38% higher than commercial NF270 membrane with the similar rejection rate.     

A refined cohesive zone model that accounts for inertia of cohesive zone of a moving crack

Existing cohesive zone models assume that actual fracture zone of non-zero mass can be modeled by a line segment (cohesive zone) with no mass and inertia. In the present work, a simplified mass-spring model is presented to study inertia effect of cohesive zone on a mode-I steady-state moving crack. It is showed that fracture energy predicted by the present model increases dramatically when a finite limiting crack speed is approached. Reasonable agreement with known experiments indicates that the present model has the potential to catch the inertia effect of cohesive zone which has been ignored in existing cohesive zone models and better simulate dynamic fracture at high crack speed.
