Preparation of polymeric monoliths by copolymerization of acrylate monomers with amine functionalities for anion-exchange capillary liquid chromatography of proteins

Two novel polymeric monoliths for anion-exchange capillary liquid chromatography of proteins were prepared in a single step by a simple photoinitiated copolymerization of 2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), or copolymerization of 2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl trimethylammonium chloride and PEGDA, in the presence of selected porogens. The resulting monoliths contained functionalities of diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) as a weak anion-exchanger and quaternary amine as a strong anion-exchanger, respectively. An alternative weak anion-exchange monolith with DEAE functionalities was also synthesized by chemical modification after photoinitiated copolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and PEGDA. Important physical and chromatographic properties of the synthesized monoliths were characterized. The dynamic binding capacities of the three monoliths (24 mg/mL, 56 mg/mL and 32 mg/mL of column volume, respectively) were comparable or superior to values that have been reported for various other monoliths. Chromatographic performance was also similar to that provided by a modified poly(GMA-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolith. Separation of standard proteins was achieved under gradient elution conditions using these monolithic columns. Peak capacities of 34, 58 and 36 proteins were obtained with analysis times of 20–30 min. This work represents a successful attempt to prepare functionalized monoliths via direct copolymerization of monomers with desired functionalities. Compared to earlier publications, additional surface modifications were avoided and the PEGDA crosslinker helped to improve the biocompatibility of the monolithic backbone.     

Mg-Ni-Nd非晶电极合金充放电过程中的组织结构变化及对其放电容量的影响

采用熔体快淬法制备了(Mg70.6 Ni29.4)90Nd10的非晶贮氢合金带,用X射线衍射仪和高分辨电镜对该合金在充放电循环过程中的组织结构演变进行了动态跟踪.结果表明:(Mg70.6Ni29.4)90Nd10贮氢合金在充放电循环过程中由非晶态慢慢晶化为纳米晶,初生相NdMg2 Ni9在循环过程中逐渐转化为Mg2 Ni,α-Mg和Nd2H5相.电化学性能测试表明,由于微观结构的变化对其放电容量的影响过程分为3个阶段:首先是前两个循环的活化过程,在第3个循环达到放电容量最高值(580.5 mAh·g-1);接下来是放电容量显著降低的4～10个循环阶段;最后是放电容量保持稳定的11 ～20个循环.研究发现NdMg2 Ni9相的存在和保持合金的非晶结构是提高镁基电极合金循环稳定性的重要因素.     

Mechanism of antioxidant capacity assays and the CUPRAC (cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity) assay

We report on the application of a simple and versatile antioxidant capacity assay for dietary polyphenols, vitamin C and vitamin E utilizing the copper(II)-neocuproine (Cu(II)-Nc) reagent as the chromogenic oxidant, which we term the CUPRAC (cupric reducing antioxidant capacity) method. It involves mixing the antioxidant solution (directly or after acid hydrolysis) with solutions of CuCl₂, neocuproine, and ammonium acetate at pH 7, and measuring the absorbance at 450 nm after 30 min. Slowly reacting antioxidants required an incubation at 50 °C for 20 min for color development. The flavonoid glycosides were hydrolyzed to their corresponding aglycones by refluxing in 1.2 M HCl-containing 50% MeOH for fully exhibiting their antioxidant potencies. Certain compounds also needed incubation after acid hydrolysis for color development. The CUPRAC absorbances of mixture constituents were additive, indicating lack of chemical deviations from Beer’s law. The CUPRAC antioxidant capacities of a wide range of polyphenolics are reported in this work and compared to those found by ABTS/persulfate and Folin assays. The trolox-equivalent capacities of the antioxidants were linearly correlated (r = 0.8) to those found by ABTS but not to those of Folin. The highest antioxidant capacities in the CUPRAC method were observed for epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate, quercetin, fisetin, epigallocatechin, catechin, caffeic acid, epicatechin, gallic acid, rutin, and chlorogenic acid in this order, in accordance with theoretical expectations. The experiences of other CUPRAC users also are summarized. Correspondence: Reşat Apak, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Engineering, Istanbul University, Avcilar, TR-34320 Istanbul, Turkey

Irreversible capacity of the amorphous silicon thin-film electrodes

Irreversible processes accompanying the lithium incorporation into amorphous thin-film silicon are investigated. It is shown that the irreversible processes occurred during the cathodic polarization result in the formation of passive film at the silicon surface. The passive film at silicon is close, in its composition, to the passive film at carbonaceous materials. However, unlike the carbonaceous electrodes, no effect of electrolyte composition on the irreversible capacity of the silicon electrodes is observed.
