Heterogeneous freezing on pyroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) thin films

Active deicing of technical surfaces, such as for wind turbines and heat exchangers, currently requires the usage of heat or chemicals. Passive coating strategies that postpone the freezing of covering water would be beneficial in order to save costs and energy. One hypothesis is that pyroelectric active materials can achieve this because of the surface charges generated on these materials when they are subject to a temperature change. High-quality poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) thin films with a high crystallinity, prefererd edge-on orientation, low surface roughness, and comprised of the β-analogous ferroelectric phase were deposited by spin-coating. Freezing experiments with a cooling rate of 1 K min⁻¹ were made on P(VDF-TrFE) coatings in order to separate the effect of different parameters such as the poling direction, film thickness, used solvent, deposition process, underlying substrate, and annealing temperature on the achievable supercooling. The topography and the underlying substrate significantly changed the distribution of freezing temperatures of water droplets in contact with these thin films. In contrast, no significant effect of the thickness, morphology, or pyroelectric effect of the as-prepared domain-state on the freezing temperatures was found.

合成并表征了一系列新型亚乙基桥联多取代茚-芴锆、铪配合物ansa-C₂H₄-{2-Me-3-Bn-5,6-[1,3-（CH₂）₃]Ind}-（Flu） ZrCl₂（C1）,ansa-C₂H₄-{2-Me-3-Bn-5,6-[1,3-（CH₂）₃]Ind}（2,7-^tBu₂-Flu） ZrCl₂（C2）,ansa-C₂H₄-{2-Me-3-Bn-5,6-[1,3-（CH₂）₃]Ind}（3,6-^tBu₂-Flu） ZrCl₂（C3）,ansa-C₂H₄-{2-Me-3-Bn-5,6-[1,3-（CH₂）₃]Ind}（Flu） HfCl₂（C4）,并对典型配合物进行了X射线单晶衍射分析,确定了其空间结构.研究了该系列配合物在助催化剂作用下催化丙烯齐聚的行为,考察了催化剂结构及反应条件对齐聚反应的影响.配合物C1～C4与改性甲基铝氧烷（MMAO）或三异丁基铝/三苯甲基四（五氟苯基）硼酸盐（TIBA/TrB）组成的催化体系对丙烯齐聚表现出中等到高的催化活性.锆配合物C2和C3在40～100℃条件下普遍具有较高的β-甲基消除（β-Me消除）选择性（最高可达86%）,实现了分子量M_n在400到4500 g·mol^－1范围内的烯丙基封端丙烯齐聚物的高效合成.铪催化剂体系C4/TIBA/TrB的β-Me消除选择性明显高于相应的锆催化剂体系,同时所得齐聚物的分子量更低.     

Evaluation of Pd→B Interactions in Diphosphinoborane Complexes and Impact on Inner-Sphere Reductive Elimination

The dative Pd→B interaction in a series of ^RDPB^R’ Pd⁰ and Pd^II complexes (^RDPB^R’=(o-PR₂C₆H₄)₂BR’, diphosphinoborane) was analyzed using XRD, ¹¹B NMR spectroscopy and NBO/NLMO calculations. The borane acceptor discriminates between the oxidation state Pd^II and Pd⁰, stabilizing the latter. Reaction of lithium amides with [(^RDPB^R’)Pd^II(4-NO₂C₆H₄)I] chemoselectively yields the C−N coupling product. DFT modelling indicates no significant impact of Pd^II→B coordination on the inner-sphere reductive elimination rate.     

Catalytic Effect of Electric Fields on the Kemp Elimination Reactions with Neutral Bases

The effect of solvent reaction fields and oriented electric fields on the Kemp elimination reaction between methylamine or imidazole and 5-nitrobenzisoxazole has been theoretically studied. The Kemp reaction is the most widely used for the design of new enzymes. Our results, using the SMD continuous model for solvents, are in quite good agreement with the experimental fact that the rate of the analogous reaction with butylamine is one order of magnitude smaller in water than in acetonitrile. In the case of external electric fields, our results show that they can increase or decrease the energy barrier depending on the magnitude and orientation of the field. A duly oriented electric field may have a notable catalytic effect on the reaction. So, external electric fields and reaction fields due to the medium can contribute to the design of new enzymes. Several factors that must be taken into account to increase the catalytic effect are discussed.     

痕量PBBs/PBDEsGC/MS分析法中PCB及其衍生物干扰消除方法

电子电气产品中痕量阻燃剂聚溴联苯/聚溴联苯醚(PBBs/PBDEs)的检测通常采用气相色谱/质谱(GC-MS)联用法,但该法是建立在持久性污染物多氯化苯/多氯化萘(PCBs/PCNs)基础上,因此此类物质干扰不可避免。为了解决此类问题,提出了2种解决方法:1)阴离子化学电离-气相色谱/质谱联用法(GC/MS-NICI)和电子轰击-气相色谱/质谱联用法(GC/MS-EI)联合使用;2)以YMC ODS-C18为载体,基质固相分散法(MSPD)吸附分离。结果显示,前者可以同时洞察聚溴联苯和联苯醚的分子链断裂后阴离子碎片[Br]-,[HBr2]-和分子链段碎片[M+2]+,[M+4]+,[M+6]+,[M+8]+的滞留峰,增加了对溴系阻燃剂的选择性。后者可以有效分离多种多氯化苯与聚溴联苯醚的色谱峰,这为溴系阻燃剂气相色谱/质谱联用分析法中多氯化苯及其衍生物干扰提供了新的解决方法。采用此方法对8类电子电气产品中10种聚溴联苯醚和多氯化苯进行加标回收实验及精密度分析,回收率在60%～98%,相对误差在9.5%以内,符合国际电工委员会(IEC)对溴系阻燃剂检测精度要求,说明方法具有较高的可靠性,也为我国电子电气业更好遵守...

Preparation and Electrochemical Performance of Three-Dimensional Vertically Aligned Graphene by Unidirectional Freezing Method

Three-dimensional vertically aligned graphene (3DVAG) was prepared by a unidirectional freezing method, and its electrochemical performances were evaluated as electrode materials for zinc−ion hybrid supercapacitors (ZHSCs). The prepared 3DVAG has a vertically ordered channel structure with a diameter of about 20−30 μm and a length stretching about hundreds of microns. Compared with the random structure of reduced graphene oxide (3DrGO), the vertical structure of 3DVAG in a three−electrode system showed higher specific capacitance, faster ion diffusion, and better rate performance. The specific capacitance of 3DVAG reached 66.6 F·g⁻¹ and the rate performance reached 92.2%. The constructed 3DVAG zinc−ion hybrid supercapacitor also showed excellent electrochemical performance. It showed good capacitance retention up to 94.6% after 3000 cycles at the current density of 2 A·g⁻¹.     

Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins and Bamboo Leaf Flavonoids Improve the Quality of Bull Semen Cryopreservation

It is important to inhibit oxidative stress to maintain sperm motility during cryopreservation. The present study was performed to investigate the effects of supplementing oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC) and bamboo leaf flavonoids (BLF) or their combination as an extender for Simmental bull semen freezing. OPC, BLF, or their combination were added to the frozen diluent of bovine semen. Afterwards, computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA), detection of membrane functionality, acrosome integrity, mitochondrial integrity, CAT, SOD, GSH-PX, MDA, and ROS were conducted. The results showed that adding 50 mg/L OPC or 4 mg/L BLF could improve the quality of frozen sperm. Compared with 50 mg/L OPC alone, the combination of 50mg/L OPC and 2 mg/L BLF significantly increased the kinematic parameters of sperm, and sperm CAT, GSH-PX and SOD levels (p < 0.05), whereas the MDA of sperm was decreased (p < 0.05). These results indicated that compared to the addition of 50 mg/L OPC alone, a combination of 50 mg/L OPC and 2 mg/L BLF could further improve the quality of frozen semen. The results could provide theoretical data support for the development of a new protective agent and are significant for the cryopreservation of bovine semen in the future.     

上升管中强烈段塞流消除方法试验研究

为了消除上升管中强烈段塞流,采用节流和扰动两种方法进行了试验研究。两种方法都能完全消除强烈段塞流, 能使强烈段塞流的发生范围显著减小。节流程度较小时将导致强烈段塞流压力波动更大、周期更长;但扰动法能使压力波动的幅度变小、周期变短。两种方法都使上游管道的压力显著增大,但扰动法产生的背压比节流法产生的背压小。
