Surface Modification of Carbon Nanotube by Poly(ethylene glycol) for the Preparation of Poly(vinyl alcohol) Nanocomposite

Herein, PEGylated multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) was prepared for the successive fabrication of poly(vinyl alcohol) PVA/MWNT nanocomposite film by solution casting. The surface modified MWNT showed a good colloidal stability in a polar solvent, i.e., water. Also, the PEGylated MWNT had an improved dispersion stability in aqueous PVA solution. The mixture of PEGylated MWNT and PVA dissolved in water was film casted and the dispersion uniformity and corresponding improvement of electrical conductivity were investigated. The electrical conductivity of PVA/modified MWNT composite film was three-fold higher than that of PVA/pristine MWNT composite film due to the much improved distribution uniformity of modified MWNT in PVA matrix.

MoO3表面分散作用对丝光沸石晶体结构的影响

将晶相MoO_3与丝光沸石充分研磨混合后,在一定高温下加热,MoO_3在丝光沸石上自发分散。当分散量较少时,丝光沸石的晶休结构无明显变化,加热时间的延长,MoO_3分散量增加。沸石结晶度降低;当分散量相同时,加热时间延长,沸石结晶度不变。结果表明,丝光沸石晶体结构的破坏,是由于分散的表面层钼与沸石骨架强烈相互作用的结果。MoO_3分散量越多,这种相互作用越强,沸石结晶度越低。     

Probing Transient Conformational States of Proteins by Solid‐State R1ρ Relaxation‐Dispersion NMR Spectroscopy

The function of proteins depends on their ability to sample a variety of states differing in structure and free energy. Deciphering how the various thermally accessible conformations are connected, and understanding their structures and relative energies is crucial in rationalizing protein function. Many biomolecular reactions take place within microseconds to milliseconds, and this timescale is therefore of central functional importance. Here we show that R_1ρ relaxation dispersion experiments in magic‐angle‐spinning solid‐state NMR spectroscopy make it possible to investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of such exchange process, and gain insight into structural features of short‐lived states.

Spectral parameter power series analysis of isotropic planarly layered waveguides

This work addresses the analysis of an isotropic planarly layered waveguide consisting of an inhomogeneous core that is enclosed between two homogeneous layers forming the cladding. The analysis relies on an auxiliary one-dimensional spectral problem that is intimately linked with the scalar wave equation for planarly layered media. We construct the Green function of the waveguide as an expansion involving the eigenfunctions of the continuous and the discrete spectrum of the auxiliary problem. From the eigenvalues of the discrete spectrum, we calculate the allowed propagation constants of the guided modes. The Spectral Parameter Power Series (SPPS) method [Math. Method Appl. Sci. 2010;33: 459–468] leads us to analytic expressions for the eigenfunctions of the auxiliary problem in the form of power series of the spectral parameter. In addition, we obtain an SPPS representation for the dispersion relation without making any kind of approximation or discretisation to the core of the waveguide. The SPPS analysis here presented is well suited for its numerical implementation, since all these series can be truncated due to their uniform convergence.     

Highly birefringent photonic crystal fibers with flattened dispersion and low effective mode area

A highly birefringent index-guiding photonic crystal fibers with flattened dispersion and low effective area is proposed by introducing elliptical air holes in the cladding and small holes both in the core area and in the cladding. With the plane wave expansion (PWE) method, the birefringent, dispersion and effective area of the fundamental modes in such photonic crystal fibers are analyzed in detail. The simulation result shows that high birefringence with a magnitude of the order of 10⁻³, flattened chromatic dispersion from 1100 nm to 1800 nm and low effective area (which mean high nonlinearity) are obtained. Furthermore, the influences on the birefringence and dispersion by geometrical parameters have also been discussed and a modest number of design parameters are given.     

Can Raman spectroscopy detect cumulenic structures of linear carbon chains?

The molecular and vibrational structures of cumulenic carbon chains are investigated by density functional theory calculations and compared with that of hydrogen‐capped polyynes. The small value of bond length alternation (BLA) along the CC bonds sequence obtained by geometry optimization of uncapped C_n chains and vinyl‐capped carbon chains confirms their cumulenic structure. It is demonstrated that for finite length chains the structural parameters are determined by end effects as far as the Peierls distortion, expected for very long molecules, does not occur. The Raman spectra of such molecules are calculated to verify the possibility of identifying markers of cumulenic chains by means of vibrational spectroscopy. As expected, the longitudinal mode consisting of the BLA oscillation, which is responsible for the strongest Raman transition of polyynes, becomes very weak for cumulenes; this behaviour is rationalized in terms of local polarizability derivatives. However, other longitudinal modes can be observed in the Raman spectra of C_n chains. The wavenumber behaviour and the optical activity of these modes are interpreted on the basis of the phonon dispersion branch of an ideally infinite cumulenic polymer. Raman intensities computed for chains of different lengths allow to conclude that cumulenic molecules could be detected and identified by means of Raman spectroscopy.
