A new function of graphene oxide emerges: inactivating phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae

The main goal of the present work is to examine the effect of graphene layers on the structural and dynamical properties of polymer systems. We study hybrid poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/graphene interfacial systems, through detailed atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. In order to characterize the interface, various properties related to density, structure and dynamics of polymer chains are calculated, as a function of the distance from the substrate. A series of different hybrid systems, with width ranging between 2.60 and 13.35 nm, are being modeled. In addition, we compare the properties of the macromolecular chains to the properties of the corresponding bulk system at the same temperature. We observe a strong effect of graphene layers on both structure and dynamics of the PMMA chains. Furthermore, the PMMA/graphene interface is characterized by different length scales, depending on the actual property we probe: density of PMMA polymer chains is larger than the bulk value, for polymer chains close to graphene layers up to distances of about 1.0–1.5 nm. Chain conformations are perturbed for distances up to about 2–3 radius of gyration from graphene. Segmental dynamics of PMMA is much slower close to the solid layers up to about 2–3 nm. Finally, terminal-chain dynamics is slower, compared to the bulk one, up to distances of about 5–7 radius of gyration.     

Mg-Zn-Y系合金的铸态组织及其相变点

采用Nikon Epiphot型光学显微镜、RigakuD／max-3C型X射线衍射仪（XRD）、带有能谱仪（EDS）的JEOL JSM-6700F型扫描电子显微镜（SEM）研究了高镁、低锌、低钇三元Mg-Zn-Y系合金的铸态组织及其分布特点。在铸态组织中，钇及锌均聚集于晶界。因此在Zn，Y含量相对低时，满足成分条件在晶界形成三元金属间化合物相的成分要求。合金中主要存在的三元相为W（Mg3Y2Zn3）相、Z（Mg3YZn6）相、X（Mg12YZn）相。结合差热分析进一步讨论了合金中相的变化温度。结果表明：W相的共晶熔化温度为520℃；Z相的相变温度为445℃；X相的熔化温度为540℃。     

纳米金属氧化物隔热窗膜及性能研究

本文研究了UV固化纳米金属氧化物(ATO)粒径和涂布厚度与薄膜隔热性能的关系,比较了纳米涂层隔热膜与磁控溅射隔热膜的性能和特点。结果表明,光固化树脂单体等组分的官能度、纳米金属氧化物的用量和纳米材料粒径与涂层的隔热性能有密切关系,合理的材料组合制成的隔热膜隔热率可达到50%以上。两类隔热窗膜的对照测试显示,纳米涂层隔热膜具有高透高隔热和隔热性能稳定的特点,纳米涂层隔热膜湿热老化后红外线透过率变化只有5%左右。     

Two new paeciloxocins from a mangrove endophytic fungus Paecilomyces sp.

Paeciloxocins A and B (2-(1-hydroxy-3-methylbutyl)- and 2-(1-acetoxy-3-methylbutyl)- 11-hydroxy-9-methyl-1-methoxy-5H,7H-dibenzo[b,g]-1,5-dioxocin-5-ones), viz., two new metabolites, were isolated from the mangrove fungus Paecilomyces sp. collected from the Taiwan Strait. Their structures were elucidated by spectral methods. Paeciloxocin A exhibited strong cytotoxicity against the hepG2 cell line.
