Synergistic effects of layered double hydroxide with phosphorus-nitrogen intumescent flame retardant in PP/EPDM/IFR/LDH nanocomposites

<正>Synergistic effects of layered double hydroxide(LDH) with intumescent flame retardanct(IFR) of phosphorus-nitrogen (NP) compound in the polypropylene/ethylene-propylene-diene/IFR/LDH(PP/EPDM/IFR/LDH) nanocomposites and related properties were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),limiting oxygen index(LOI),UL-94 test,cone calorimeter test(CCT) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA).The XRD and TEM results show that the intercalated and/or exfoliated nanocomposites can be obtained by direct melt-intercalation of PP/EPDM into modified LDH and that LDH can promote the IFR additive NP to disperse more homogeneously in the polymer matrix.The SEM results provide positive evidence that more compact charred layers can be obtained from the PP/EPDM/NP/LDH sample than those from the PP/EPDM/LDH and PP/EPDM/NP samples during burning.The LOI and UL-94 rating tests show that the synergetic effects of LDH with NP can effectively increase the flame retardant properties of the PP/EPDM/NP/LDH samples.The data from the CCT and TGA tests indicate that the PP/EPDM/NP/LDH samples apparently decrease the HRR and MLR values and thus enhance the flame retardant properties and have better thermal stability than the PP/EPDM/LDH and PP/EPDM/NP samples.     

羟丙基-β-环糊精对双苯氟嗪包合作用的热力学研究

The inclusion complexes formation of dipfluzine(DF)with hydroxpropy -β-cyclodextrin(HP-β-CD)in aqueous solution was investigated by the phase-solubility method.With the increase of HP-β-CD concentration in aqueous sloutions,the solubility of DF increased linearly,which showed typical AL-type phase solubility diagram.The molar ratio of the DF-HP-β-CD complex was 1: 1.The effect of temperature on the reaction was studied through thermodynamics.The apparent stability constants of inclusion reation were determined.Thermodynamic parameters during the inclusion process were as follows: △_rH=30.58 kJ·mol~(-1),△_rS=158.8 J·mol~(-1)·K~(-1),△_rG＜0.The complex process was endothermic and spontaneous.With the increase of temperature,the tendency of spontaneous reaction increased.     

Phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride pretreatment stabilizes plasma lipidome in lipidomic and metabolomic analysis

Though it is standard practice to test the stability of analytes in the matrix for routine bioanalytical method, stability evaluation is always impractical and skipped in untargeted lipidomic and metabolomic analysis because analytes in these studies are enormous, diverse and sometimes unknown. Lipidome represents a major class of plasma metabolome and shows great potential to be diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. However, lipidome also faces stability problems because plasma contains kinds of lipid degradation enzyme. Here, using liquid chromatography time of flight mass spectrometry based lipidomic methodology, plasma levels of various lipids including triglyceride (TG), diglyceride (DG), free fatty acid (FFA), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) phosphatidylcholine (PC), lyso-phosphatidylcholine (LPC), lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine (LPE), and sphingomyelin (SM) were dynamically determined within 4 h at ambient temperature. In mouse and rat plasma, the levels of most TG, DG, PC and PE species significantly decreased with respect to time, whereas those of LPC, LPE and FFA significantly increased with respect to time. However, such changes did not occur in human plasma, thus indicating hepatic lipase and esterase might involve in the species-specified degradation of lipid classes in plasma. Phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) pretreatment prevented such lipidome instability in mouse plasma. The results suggested the instability of plasma lipidome should be highly concerned, and the enhancement of ex vivo stability of plasma lipidome could enable more reliable clinical translation of lipidomic data for biomarker discovery.

有机电致发光器件因在全彩平板显示和固态照明领域中具有广阔的应用前景, 而受到人们的广泛关注。 时至今日, 与现有的红色和绿色有机电致发光材料和器件相比, 具有优越综合性能的蓝色有机电致发光材料和器件却始终匮乏。 相对而言, 蓝光材料具有较宽的能隙, 因而很难获得低电压、高效率和良好稳定性的深蓝光器件。 通常, 白色有机电致发光器件可以通过混合三基色或者两种颜色的方法获得。 但是无论哪种方法, 蓝光材料均是必不可少的。 另外, 还可以通过能量传递将蓝光转化为红光和绿光。 因此, 研发出具有优越综合性能的蓝光材料对有机电致发光器件的推广及应用十分关键。 本文综述了近年来蓝色荧光材料、蓝色磷光材料的研究进展以及蓝光材料在蓝色和白色有机电致发光器件中的应用, 并结合现有工作, 对蓝色有机电致发光材料的研究和应用前景进行展望。     

A generalized technique for the encapsulation of nano‐sized NiO particles by styrene‐2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate copolymer

Encapsulation of nickel oxide (NiO) particles is of great interest to the researchers as such modification produces remarkable improvement in properties and versatility in application potential. In this investigation, nanosized NiO particles were first prepared by calcination of nickel hydroxide precursor obtained using a simple liquid‐phase process. The produced NiO particles were stabilized with oleic acid and then treated with tetraethylorthosilicate to produce NiO/SiO₂ composite seed particles. Finally tri‐layered inorganic/organic composite particles were prepared by seeded copolymerization of styrene and 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) in the presence of NiO/SiO₂ composite seed particles. The produced composite particles named as NiO/SiO₂/P(S‐HEMA) were colloidally stable, and the obtained particles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analyses.

Thermostability and polymorphism of theobroma oil and palm kernel oil as suppository bases

Thermal stability of pharmaceutical ingredients is an important aspect. In this study, we adopted differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to investigate thermal stability of suppository bases, theobroma oil (cocoa butter) and a palm kernel oil (PKO) blend. The study shows theobroma oil possesses six polymorphic forms whilst the palm kernel oil blend has three. Upon rescanning, the PKO blend does not show changes in the enthalpy of fusion and the melting point with time, whilst the theobroma oil shows significant reduction, and only regained its thermal stable state after 10 days. This indicates that PKO blend possesses better thermal stability.     

Thermal properties and stability of lithium titanophosphate glasses

DTA was used to study thermal properties and thermal stability of (50-x)Li₂O-xTiO₂-50P₂O₅ (x=0–10 mol%) and 45Li₂Ot-yTiO₂-(55-y)P₂O₅ (y=5–20 mol%) glasses. The addition of TiO₂ to lithium phosphate glasses results in a non-linear increase of glass transition temperature. All prepared glasses crystallize under heating within the temperature range of 400–540°C. The lowest tendency towards crystallization have the glasses with x=7.5 and y=10 mol% TiO₂. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that major compounds formed by annealing of the glasses were LiPO₃, Li₄ P₂O₇, TiP₂O₇ and NASICON-type LiTi₂(PO₄)₃. DTA results also indicated that the maximum of nucleation rate for 45Li₂O-5TiO₂-50P₂O₅ glass is close to the glass transition temperature.
