基于石墨烯和量子点自组装膜的能量转移构筑的高灵敏度DNA界面荧光传感

以QDs作为荧光探针, HIV1病毒序列DNA为研究对象, 设计了Quartz/PDDA/PSS/PDDA/CdTe/ssDNA自组装膜, 利用氧化石墨烯(GO)猝灭自组装膜上CdTe QDs的荧光, 而靶DNA(tDNA)与自组装膜表面ssDNA的互补配对作用使GO与CdTe QDs的距离增加, 导致自组装膜上量子点的荧光恢复, 由此建立了一种基于GO与QDs自组装膜之间荧光共振能量转移的快速灵敏检测DNA的界面分析方法, 检出限为7.26×10^-14 mol/L. 本方法制备的DNA探针操作简单, 自组装膜表面修饰的ssDNA提高了方法的选择性, GO的猝灭作用降低了检测背景, 极大地提高了荧光分析方法的灵敏度.

采用共沉淀法制备了稀土正磷酸盐荧光粉(La,Gd)PO4:RE3+(RE=Eu,Tb).红外光谱分析发现GdPO4的红外光谱吸收峰与LaPO4一致,只是峰位向高波数方向移动.(La,Gd)PO4:RE3+的真空紫外光谱特性研究表明,Gd3+在能量传递过程中起中间体作用.XPS研究揭示,LaPO4的价带由O2-的2p能级构成,而GdPO4的价带则是由O2-的2p能级和Gd3+的4f能级共同构成.     

连续碳纤维增强的聚芳醚酮复合材料的层间破坏

用双悬臂梁和端开口弯曲试件分别研究了连续碳纤维增强的聚芳醚酮复合材料(CF/PEK-C)的Ⅰ型和Ⅱ型的层间破坏。CF/PEK-C的Ⅰ型层破坏的线弹性断裂判据G_(Ⅰc)和弹塑性断裂判据J_(Ⅰc)分别为0.69KJ/m~2且与裂纹长度无关。CF/PEK-C的Ⅱ型层间破坏的稳定性,与裂纹和半距之比α/L有关。当α/L小于0.7时,表现为不稳定的Ⅱ型层间破坏的断裂韧性G_(Ⅱc)为1.62KJ/m~2。当α/L大于0.7时,则为稳定的Ⅱ型层间破坏。此时的G_(Ⅱc)与临界点的选择有关。由亚临界点和0.95点法得出的G_(Ⅱc)值分别为1.73和2.74KJ.M~2。     

Hardware components wastes pyrolysis: energy recovery and liquid fraction valorisation

Pyrolysis of hardware components wastes consisting mainly in computers and television components was performed under nitrogen. The degradation products were separated in three fractions, solid, liquid and gaseous. Analyses of the three phases were carried out using gas chromatography (GC), mass spectrometry (MS), thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The energetic content of the gas phase and the economic value of the liquid phase were also determined. The gas fraction produced was rich in light hydrocarbons and hydrogen. Consequently, its calorific value was high and widely sufficient to make the pyrolysis process self-sustained. The main products of the liquid phase were phenol and isopropylphenol (ca. 50–80 wt.%). The presence of Br-based compounds, deriving from the flame retardant employed in hardware components, were also detected. A controlled combustion of the solid phase permitted to obtain the glass fibres unaltered, which can be recycled.     

Synthesis of oligo(p-phenylene)-linked dyads containing free base, zinc(II) or thallium(III) porphyrins for studies in artificial photosynthesis

A series of (p-phenylene)_n-linked meso-mesityl-substituted porphyrin dyads (n=2-4) was prepared via Suzuki coupling of zinc(II) and free base porphyrin building blocks. The resulting zinc(II)/free base porphyrin dyads were demetalated. The series of free base porphyrin dimers (n=1-4), four other porphyrin dimers (with p-phenylene, diphenylethyne or diphenylbutadiyne linkers; and aryl or tridec-7-yl meso substituents), and several benchmark monomers were converted to the thallium(III)chloride complexes under mild conditions. The collection of eight Tl(III)Cl/Tl(III)Cl dimers is designed for studies of ground-state hole-transfer processes and comparison with the excited-state energy- and hole-transfer processes of the corresponding Zn(II)/free base dyads. Altogether, 18 new porphyrin arrays and benchmark monomers have been prepared.

Influence of surface heterogeneity on hydrogen adsorption on activated carbons

This study presents an experimental and theoretical analysis of the effect of surface heterogeneity on the capacity of 20 commercial activated carbons to adsorb hydrogen at 77 and 258 K and for maximum pressures of 20 bar. Some of the samples have been subjected to surface modification by impregnation or by surface oxidation prior to the hydrogen adsorption measurements. All the activated carbons have been analyzed by N₂ adsorption at 77 K using the thermodynamic isotherm presented in a previous study. The hydrogen adsorption capacity of the activated carbons has been well correlated to the micropore volume and the characteristic m₂ parameter of the thermodynamic isotherm accounting for the energy heterogeneity of the material. On the basis of the model presented here, we discuss how surface heterogeneity, in addition to the adsorption strength, might affect the ability of activated carbons and related materials to adsorb hydrogen.
