Preparation and Characterization of Cyclohexyl Moiety Toughened POSS-Reinforced Epoxy Nanocomposites

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS)-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites were prepared by reacting commercially available diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) and tetraglycidyl diamino diphenyl methane (TGDDM) epoxy resins with 1,1-bis(3-methyl-4-glycidyloxyphenyl)cyclohexane (Cy-Ep) separately and reinforced with POSS nanocluster. POSS (OAPS)-reinforced hybrid Cy-Ep-epoxy resin castings were characterized for their mechanical and morphological properties. The data obtained from mechanical studies indicated that the incorporation of nano OAPS into Cy-Ep modified hybrid systems results in improved stability. Among the epoxy systems studied, the TGDDM-based hybrid epoxy system exhibited higher values of tensile and flexural properties than that of the DGEBA hybrid epoxy system, whereas the impact strength of the DGEBA system was higher than that of the TGDDM system. The dispersion of POSS was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and visual observation studies.     

Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Activated Carbon–Filled Epoxy Nanocomposites

Nano-activated carbons obtained from oil palm empty fiber bunch (AC-EFB), bamboo stem (AC-BS), and coconut shells (AC-CNS) were reinforced in epoxy matrix to fabricate epoxy nanocomposites. The dynamic mechanical analysis of epoxy nanocomposites was carried out, and 5% AC-CNS treated with KOH-filled epoxy composites displayed the highest storage modulus of all the activated carbon–filled epoxy composites. The incorporation of a small amount of AC-BS, AC-EFB, and AC-CNS to the epoxy matrix enhanced the damping characteristics of the epoxy nanocomposites. The 5% AC-EFB treated with H₃PO₄ filled epoxy composites showed the highest glass transition temperature (T_g) in all temperature ranges.     

基底界面效应对聚苯乙烯薄膜分子运动行为的影响

本文研究了Si／Si02、Si／Si—H基底与聚苯乙烯（Ps）之间的界面相互作用对Ps薄膜的玻璃化转变及相关力学性能的影响．结果显示,无论何种基底,Ps薄膜的玻璃化转变温度（L）都随其厚度降低而降低．但相同厚度（〈110nm）下,以Si／Si-H为基底时Ps薄膜的瓦比以Si／Si02为基底的PS薄膜高．Si／Si02表面Ps薄膜疋开始下降的临界厚度为110nm,远高于以Si／Si—H为基底时的40nm．对Ps薄膜的膨胀系数和弹性模量进行研究,也得到相似的临界厚度．另外,与Si／Si02基底相比,在Si／Si-H上的Ps薄膜具有更低的膨胀系数以及较高弹性模量．可能原因是Si／Si-H与Ps具有较强的相互作用,限制了该界面分子的运动能力,导致基底／PS界面效应对薄膜分子运动的影响力增强,造成该薄膜瓦的厚度依赖性下降,并呈现出相对较硬的力学特征．     

Engineering the Mesopores of Fe3O4@Mesosilica Core–Shell Nanospheres through a Solvothermal Post‐Treatment Method

A solvothermal post‐treatment method was developed to synthesize Fe₃O₄@mesosilica core–shell nanospheres (CSNs) with a well‐preserved morphology, mesoporous structure, and tunable large pore diameters (2.5–17.6 nm) for the first time. N,N‐Dimethylhexadecylamine (DMHA), which was generated in situ during the heat‐treatment process, was mainly responsible for this pore‐size enlargement, as characterized by NMR spectroscopy. This pore‐size expansion can be strengthened with the aid of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), whilst the nature of the surface of the Fe₃O₄@mesosilica CSNs can be easily modified with trimethylsilyl groups during the pore‐size‐expansion process. The hydrophobicity of the Fe₃O₄@mesosilica CSNs increased for the enlarged mesopores and the adsorption capacity of these CSNs for benzene (up to 1.5 g g^?1) is the highest ever reported for Fe₃O₄@mesosilica CSNs. The resultant Fe₃O₄@mesosilica CSNs (pore size: 10 nm) showed a 3.6‐times higher adsorption capacity of lysozyme than those without the pore expansion (pore size: 2.5 nm), thus making them a good candidate for loading large molecules.     

Two Lanthanide(III)?Copper(II) Organic Frameworks Based on {OLn6} Clusters that Exhibited a Large Magnetocaloric Effect and Slow Relaxation of the Magnetization

Two new 3D lanthanide(III)? copper(II) organic frameworks based on unusual {OLn₆} clusters have been successfully synthesized and fully characterized. Crystallographic studies showed that the {OLn₆} clusters acted as 12‐connected nodes that were linked together by [CuL₂] (H₂L=3‐hydroxypyrazine‐2‐carboxylic acid) moieties to construct an interesting 4,12‐c net with the point symbol {4³⁶.6³⁰}{4⁴.6²}₃. Magnetic studies revealed that these two isostructural heterometallic frameworks exhibited different magnetic properties, depending on the different anisotropies of the lanthanide spin carriers: Gd‐Cu showed a large magnetocaloric effect, with an entropy change (?ΔS_m) of 35.76 J kg^?1 K^?1, which is one of the largest values in high‐dimensional complexes, whilst Dy‐Cu exhibited slow relaxation of the magnetization at low temperatures.     

Trigonal‐Bipyramidal and Square‐Pyramidal Chromium?Manganese Chalcogenide Clusters, [E2CrMn2(CO)n]2− (E=S,Se, Te; n=9, 10): Synthesis,Electrochemistry, UV/Vis Absorption,and Computational Studies

The reactions of E powder (E=S, Se) with a mixture of Cr(CO)₆ and Mn₂(CO)₁₀ in concentrated solutions of KOH/MeOH produced two new mixed Cr? Mn? carbonyl clusters, [E₂CrMn₂(CO)₉]^2? (E=S, 1 ; Se, 2 ). Clusters 1 and 2 were isostructural with one another and each displayed a trigonal‐bipyramidal structure, with the CrMn₂ triangle axially capped by two μ₃‐E atoms. The analogous telluride cluster, [Te₂CrMn₂(CO)₉]^2? ( 3 ), was obtained from the ring‐closure of Te₂Mn₂ ring complex [Te₂Mn₂Cr₂(CO)₁₈]^2? ( 4 ). Upon bubbling with CO, clusters 2 and 3 were readily converted into square‐pyramidal clusters, [E₂CrMn₂(CO)₁₀]^2? (E=Se, 5 ; Te, 6 ), accompanied with the cleavage of one Cr? Mn bond. According to SQUID analysis, cluster 6 was paramagnetic, with S=1 at room temperature; however, the Se analogue ( 5 ) was spectroscopically proposed to be diamagnetic, as verified by TD‐DFT calculations. Cluster 6 could be further carbonylated, with cleavage of the Mn? Mn bond to produce a new arachno‐cluster, [Te₂CrMn₂(CO)₁₁]^2? ( 7 ). The formation and structural isomers, as well as electrochemistry and UV/Vis absorption, of these clusters were also elucidated by DFT calculations.     

Stacking‐Induced Diamagnetic/Paramagnetic Conversion of Imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridin‐2(3 H)‐one Derivatives: Near‐Infrared Absorption and Magnetic Properties in the Solid State

Herein, we present three imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridin‐2(3 H)‐one derivatives that are diamagnetic in solution, but paramagnetic in the solid state, possibly owing to a stacking‐induced formation of phenoxide‐type radicals. Notably, a larger bathochromic shift of the absorption (even up to the near‐ infrared region) of these three compounds was observed in the solid state than in solution, which was attributable to the ordered columnar stacking arrangements or their single‐electron character as radicals in the solid state. Interestingly, compared to that in solution, (E)‐3‐(pyridin‐4′‐ylmethylene)imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridine 2(3 H)‐one displayed a largely red‐shifted emission (centered at 660 nm, with tailing above 800 nm) in the solid state. A larger bathochromic shift (260 nm) of the emission is an indication of better order and tight stacking in the solid state, which is brought about by the rigid and polar acceptor. These three compounds also reveal different magnetic susceptibilities at 300 K, thus implying that they possess various columnar stacking structures. Most interestingly, these three radicals exhibit unusual ferromagnetic‐to‐antiferromagnetic phase transitions, which can be attributed to anisotropic contraction and non‐uniform slippage of the columnar stacking chains.     

Graphene‐Based Composite with γ‐Fe2O3 Nanoparticle for the High‐Performance Removal of Endocrine‐Disrupting Compounds from Water

Graphene is a 2D sp²‐hybridized carbon sheet and an ideal material for the adsorption‐based separation of organic pollutants. However, such potential applications of graphene are largely limited, owing to their poor solubility and extensive aggregation properties through graphene? graphene interactions. Herein, we report the synthesis of graphene‐based composites with γ‐Fe₂O₃ nanoparticle for the high‐performance removal of endocrine‐disrupting compounds (EDC) from water. The γ‐Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles partially inhibit these graphene? graphene interactions and offer water dispersibility of the composite without compromising much of the high surface area of graphene. In their dispersed form, the graphene component offers the efficient adsorption of EDC, whilst the magnetic iron‐oxide component offers easier magnetic separation of adsorbed EDC.
