Analytical equations of two-step adsorption kinetics on surface have been derived. Moreover, computer simulations have been carried out to interpret various experimental adsorption kinetics previously reported. In the first case, molecules are further adsorbed from a solution onto a layer consisting of previously adsorbed molecules. This model was applied to the adsorption kinetics of hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (C16TAC) on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (T. Imae, H. Torii, J. Phys. Chem. B 104 (2000) 9218). The second case is that some of the initially adsorbed molecules are released from the adlayer with further time course. The adsorption of C16TAC on 1-dodecanethiol SAM (T. Imae, T. Takeshita, K. Yahagi, Stud. Surf. Sci. Catal. 132 (2001) 477) agrees with this mechanism. The strict mathematical developments presented in this work are demanded to specify the physical meaning of observed non-Langmuir adsorption kinetics, consisting of the two exponential terms. 相似文献
Newly designed poly(amido amine) dendrimers, which have an azacrown core, hexyl spacers, and methyl ester terminals (aza-C6-PAMAM dendrimer), were spread at the air-water and air-silver nanoparticle suspension interfaces, and their film structures were examined by surface pressure-area (pi-A) and surface potential-area (DeltaV-A) isotherms and epifluorescence microscopy. It was revealed that generation (G) 1.5 aza-C6-PAMAM dendrimer on a water subphase formed homogeneous film with face-on configuration, and this configuration was maintained during compression. On the other hand, a G2.5 dendrimer film on the air-water interface took initially homogeneous and face-on configuration that was followed by the conformational change during compression. Using a silver nanoparticle suspension as subphase, G1.5 film was significantly reinforced, and the partial collapse (cracks) in the film appeared as network texture. For a G2.5 dendrimer film, the pi-A and DeltaV-A isotherm properties were similar to that on the water subphase except for the collapsed film; small spots instead of cracks were formed under the film after collapse. These effects of the silver nanoparticle may be due to the formation of a dendrimer/silver nanoparticle composite. The formation process of the nanocomposite film was verified by UV-vis spectroscopy. For the G1.5 dendrimer, silver clusters and nanoparticles adsorbed to the dendrimer film after spreading and formed a small amount of aggregates. During compression, the aggregation proceeded even at low surface pressure. For the G2.5 dendrimer, a dendrimer/nanoparticle composite was also formed after spreading. However, with the initial compression, the absorption bands of clusters, nanoparticles, and aggregate increased together. Upon further compression, while the bands of cluster and nanoparticles decreased, the bands of aggregate still increased. These results suggest that the G2.5 dendrimer covered the cluster and nanoparticles more efficiently than the G1.5 dendrimer did because of the larger molecular size. 相似文献
To prepare cross‐linked silicone (silicone rubber) particles in an aqueous medium, we investigated two synthesis methods involving a miniemulsion system. The first method was based on cationic ring‐opening polymerization of cyclic siloxane, which is a common synthetic route for linear silicone oil and uses octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) as the monomer and dimeric D4 (bis‐D4) as the cross‐linker. Although this method produces silicone particles, the particles do not remain in the particulate state after drying because of low cross‐linking density. The polymerization mechanism of this method was also investigated, which proceeds under the ring‐opening reaction of D4 in monomer droplets and upon polycondensation of hydrolyzed D4, which occurs in the water phase (ie, outside the monomer droplets). This mechanism implied that introducing the cross‐linking structure into particles is difficult because of the low solubility of bis‐D4 in water. To overcome these difficulties, we demonstrated a second method of preparing silicone particles based on the thiol‐Michael addition reaction between thiol‐terminated silicone oil and triacrylate in miniemulsion systems. Transmission electron microscopy images indicated that the silicone particles obtained in the particulate state upon drying and the aggregates of these particles showed elasticity. 相似文献
Quenching of fluorescence of the dye 3,7-diamino-2,8-dimethyl-5-phenyl Phenazinium Chloride (Safranine T) has been investigated by AgCl nanoparticles in the W/O microemulsion medium at different [H2O]/[AOT] ratios (ω) and with Ag nanoparticles and Ag+ in aqueous medium. A simple straightforward method has been introduced to prepare AgCl nanoparticles in well-characterized, monodispersed biomimicking nanocavities formed by sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) in heptane. Experimental results reveal that the size of the AgCl nanoparticles increases with increase in hydration. The results of the quenching experiment were analysed in the light of Stern Volmer equation. Quenching of fluorescence of the dye has been found to decrease with decrease in the size of the nanoparticles of AgCl and the variation of Stern Volmer quenching constants (KSV) with particle size is different for two different size regimes. 相似文献
An air-treated G4.5 poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer displayed the enhanced fluorescence enough to be utilized as a fluorescence marker to visualize avidin-biotin affinity: On a fluorescence microscopic image, the avidin labeled by a fluorescent G4.5 PAMAM dendrimer was observed to be selectively bound on the biotin pattern that was prepared by amide-bonding of biotin on a carboxylic acid-terminated self-assembled monolayer and in turn by UV-irradiation with a photomask on the monolayer. 相似文献
This case study investigates the impact of the integration of information and communications technology (ICT) in mathematics visualization skills and initial teacher education programmes. It reports on the influence GeoGebra dynamic software use has on promoting mathematical learning at secondary school and on its impact on teachers’ conceptions about teaching and learning mathematics. This paper describes how GeoGebra-based dynamic applets – designed and used in an exploratory manner – promote mathematical processes such as conjectures. It also refers to the changes prospective teachers experience regarding the relevance visual dynamic representations acquire in teaching mathematics. This study observes a shift in school routines when incorporating technology into the mathematics classroom. Visualization appears as a basic competence associated to key mathematical processes. Implications of an early integration of ICT in mathematics initial teacher training and its impact on developing technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) are drawn. 相似文献
Hollow polymer particles with multiple holes in the shell were prepared by aqueous microsuspension polymerization of micrometer-sized,
monodisperse divinylbenzene/n-hexadecane droplets in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at concentrations above 4 mM utilizing the Self-assembling Phase-Separated Polymer (SaPSeP) method developed by the authors. The total surface area of the holes per particle increased with an increase
in the SDS concentration. At [SDS] = 10 mM, “flower-like” non-spherical particles were formed.

Blue emission of oxygen‐doped tertiary amine (triethylamine), a key unit of fluorescent poly(amido amine) dendrimer, was demonstrated. It was found that the fluorescence intensity could be further enhanced if the tertiary amines locate densely in the dendrimer interior as the branching sites. Moreover, a solvatochromic phenol blue, instead of oxygen, is able to induce the blue fluorescence of the tertiary amino‐branching sites based on a guaranteed host‐guest complexation of phenol blue molecules and dendrimer interior.
Seeded emulsion polymerizations of styrene using polystyrene (PS) seed particles with incorporated nonionic emulsifier were
carried out at 40 and 70 °C to investigate the influence of temperature during the polymerization process including the swelling
step of the seed particles with monomer on the formation of multihollow PS particles. An increase in the temperature during
the polymerization process caused an increase in the rate of coalescence (i.e., the degree of coalescence at any given time)
of the small water domains in the inside. After the coalescence proceeded excessively, the water domains were eventually discharged
from the particles to the medium, resulting in nonhollow particles. The results show that it is important for the preparation
of the multihollow PS particles to control the coalescence of a lot of small water domains inside the seed particles with
the incorporated nonionic emulsifier, and strongly support the formation mechanism previously proposed.
