Dissolution of sintered thorium dioxide in phosphoric acid using autoclave and microwave methods with detection by gamma spectrometry

A quantitative and fast method of dissolution of refractory thoria (ThO₂) was developed for the determination of thorium (Th) in a given sample. The dissolution of sintered ThO₂ powder, microspheres and pellets using 88% phosphoric acid was investigated. The conditions of quantitative dissolution of ThO₂ microspheres were optimized by conventional heating in autoclave and also by microwave heating. 100 mg of sintered ThO₂ microspheres were dissolved in 8 g of phosphoric acid in an autoclave, and heating at 170 °C for 3 h, in comparison to 5 g of phosphoric acid by microwave heating (375 W) at 220 °C for 1 h. Dissolution studies on the powder form of sintered ThO₂ were also performed. 1 g of sintered ThO₂ powder could be dissolved in 6.5 g of phosphoric acid in autoclave heating at 170 °C for 1 h. Strong complexing of (PO₄)³⁻ with Th⁴⁺ may be the influencing factor for quantitative dissolution of ThO₂.     

相分离聚合法:(Ⅱ)二乙氨基乙基型共聚功能微球的合成

<正> 随着生物工程高技术的发展,功能高分子微球作为一类新的功能高分子材料已得到十分广泛的应用。然而关于最难以合成的粒径在微米级、粒度分布窄的高分子微球合成的报道至今仍很少。本文报道了用相分离法(即静止的分散聚合法)合成含有DEAE基团的高分子微球的研究。探讨了单体、交联剂、引发剂及聚合温度、聚合时间等聚合条件对生成微球的影响。相分离聚合法的特点是利用了随着在聚合过程中单体的逐渐聚合,分子量长大,聚合体与反应体系间相容性变差而最终分相成球的原理,因而所形成的微球粒度圆,粒径比较均一。与一般的分散聚合法相比不仅生成微球的粒径较大,且不需要搅拌,使反应装置得以简化。

Stimuli-responsive multilayer chitosan hollow microspheres via layer-by-layer assembly

Novel stimuli-responsive multilayer chitosan hollow microspheres with chitosan as the unique component have been fabricated by the sequential layer-by-layer electrostatic assembly technique from the sacrificial templates (polystyrene sulfonate, PSS) with chitosan (CS) as the polycation and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) as the polyanion, respectively. Their hollow structure was confirmed by the TEM analysis. The DLS analysis indicated that the multilayer chitosan microcapsules were pH and ionic strength dual-responsive. Due to the biocompatibility of the single component chitosan used, the multilayer chitosan microcapsules are expected to be used in the controlled release of drugs.

A dual microsphere based on PLGA and chitosan for delivering the oligopeptide derived from BMP-2

In this paper, we document the process and findings of preparing dual poly (lactide-co-glycolide)/chitosan microspheres (PLGA/CS MSs) for osteoinductive oligopeptide derived from BMP-2 (abbreviated as Peptide-24). Through adjusting the amount of Peptide-24, three kinds of PLGA/CS MSs were successfully constructed in twice encapsulations. We studied the morphology, size distribution and loading efficiency of the PLGA/CS MSs. We also focused on the pH change of the environment and the molecular weight of the matrix during the degradation process of PLGA/CS MSs. More specifically, the release of Peptide-24 from three kinds of PLGA/CS MSs was monitored in PBS at 37 °C and pH 7.4. The structural stability of the released Peptide-24 was detected by Far-UV circular dichroism and MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. The mean sizes of the three kinds of PLGA/CS MSs are 47.5, 63.0 and 89.1 μm; and their drug-loading rates are 2.61, 3.21 and 2.21%, respectively. Comparing with Chitosan microspheres (abbreviated as CS MSs), the PLGA/CS MSs have excellent release curves with zero-order kinetics and controllable model. The incubation solution of PLGA/CS MSs avoided producing acid environment as poly (lactide-co-glycolide) microspheres (PLGA MSs) did, which was explained by analyzing the molecular weight of the matrix. The released oligopeptide kept its original structure and relative molecular weight throughout the procedures of encapsulation, storage and release. This indicates its structure stability. Thus, we conclude that dual PLGA/CS MSs is a promising vehicle that is suitable for the delivery of bioactive factors.     

Facile Assembly of Graphene on Anion Exchange Resin Microspheres for Electrochemical Sensing and Biosensing

Graphene sheets were assembled on anion exchange resin (AER) microspheres based on the electrostatic interactions between graphene oxide and AER and subsequent chemical reduction. The prepared graphene‐coated AER microspheres were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. They were then embedded in the bores of pipette tips to fabricate disposable electrodes for electrochemical sensing. The workability and performance of the novel electrodes were examined by analyzing the electrochemical behavior of the electrodes for the sensing of ascorbic acid, dopamine, uric acid, acetaminophen, aniline, and glucose by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The advantages of the electrodes include ease of fabrication, low cost, pronounced electrocatalytic activity, and rapid response. Thus, they hold great promise for a wide range of applications.
