Non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) blends

The glass-transition temperature and non-isothermal crystallization of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PTT/PEN) blends were investigated by using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results suggested that the binary blends showed different crystallization and melting behaviors due to their different component of PTT and PEN. All of the samples exhibited a single glass-transition temperature, indicating that the component PTT and PEN were miscible in amorphous phase. The value of T_g predicted well by Gordon-Taylor equation decreased gradually with increasing of PTT content. The commonly used Avrami equation modified by Jeziorny, Ozawa theory and the method developed by Mo were used, respectively, to fit the primary stage of non-isothermal crystallization. The kinetic parameters suggested that the PTT content improved the crystallization of PEN in the binary blend. The crystallization growth dimension, crystallization rate and the degree of crystallinity of the blends were increased with the increasing content of PTT. The effective activation energy calculated by the advanced iso-conversional method developed by Vyazovkin also concluded that the value of E_a depended not only on the system but also on temperature, that is, the binary blend with more PTT component had higher crystallization ability and the crystallization ability is increased with increasing temperature. The kinetic parameters U^* and K_g were also determined, respectively, by the Hoffman-Lauritzen theory.     

A Direct and Rapid Route to Synthesize Pd/Si‐MCM‐41 at Room Temperature

The pure silica mesoporous molecular sieve MCM‐41 was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Pd/Si‐MCM‐41 was prepared by the incipient wetness impregnation of pure silica MCM‐41 with mixed solution of PdCl₂, ethanol and CH₂Cl₂. The samples were characterized by x‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms at 77 K. The XRD and TEM results reveal that Pd is actually anchored inside the pores of Si‐MCM‐41 and the Si‐MCM‐41 structure is clearly maintained after impregnation.     

Enhancing the Cellulose-Degrading Activity of Cellulolytic Bacteria CTL-6 (Clostridium thermocellum) by Co-Culture with Non-cellulolytic Bacteria W2-10 (Geobacillus sp.)

The effect of a non-cellulolytic bacterium W2-10 (Geobacillus sp.) on the cellulose-degrading activity of a cellulolytic bacterium CTL-6 (Clostridium thermocellum) was determined using cellulose materials (paper and straw) in peptone cellulose solution (PCS) medium under aerobic conditions. The results indicated that in the co-culture, addition of W2-10 resulted in a balanced medium pH, and may provide the required anaerobic environment for CTL-6. Overall, addition of W2-10 was beneficial to CTL-6 growth in the adverse environment of the PCS medium. In co-culture with W2-10, the CTL-6 cellulose degradation efficiency of filter paper and alkaline-treated wheat straw significantly increased up to 72.45 and 37.79 %, respectively. The CMCase activity and biomass of CTL-6 also increased from 0.23 U ml^?1 and 45.1 μg ml^?1 (DNA content) up to 0.47 U ml^?1 and 112.2 μg ml^?1, respectively. In addition, co-culture resulted in accumulation of acetate and propionate up to 4.26 and 2.76 mg ml^?1. This was a respective increase of 2.58 and 4.45 times, in comparison to the monoculture with CTL-6.

Influence of Cell Disruption and Elution on Cellulase Release of Clostridium straminisolvens (CSK1)

Clostridium straminisolvens (CSK1) is a novel cellulolytic bacterium isolated from a cellulose-degrading bacterial community MC1. In this study, the influence of the following cell disruption and elution methods on CSK1cellulase release was investigated: (1) freezing–thawing, (2) ultrasonication, (3) elution, (4) freezing–thawing following elution, (5) ultrasonication following elution, and lastly (6) high-pressure homogenization following elution. The activity of the cellulases CMCase, β-glucosidase, Avicelase, FPase, and xylanase in crude extracts increased 81.5, 23.8, 87.7, 46.3, and 51.7 %, respectively, with an observed optimal treatment method for each cellulase type. The release of protein from CSK1 cells increased following either cell disruption or elution and was highest at 88.3 % in the homogenization high pressure following elution treatment. A newly observed protein was present following cell elution. The performance of cell elution as determined by real time-PCR indicated that the first time cell elution removed more than 90 % of the CSK1 cells from the substrate. These findings demonstrate that cell disruption and elution are effective methods for inducing cellulase release, and elution is the key step for CSK1. To our knowledge, this study presents the first evidence of optimal treatments for induction of cellulase release of Clostridium straminisolvens. This information will be of great value for use in subsequent efforts to better understand the cellulase characteristics of CSK1 and cellulose degradation mechanisms of the MC1 community.     

气相传输平衡技术制备LiGaO2薄膜

为获得与GaN薄膜晶格失配小的衬底材料,报道了利用气相传输平衡技术(VTE)在(100)-βGa2O3单晶衬底上制备高度[001]取向LiGaO2薄膜的方法。经过X射线衍射分析表明得到的薄膜是由单相LiGaO2组成。利用扫描电镜(SEM)观察表面形貌,发现经气相传输平衡技术处理得到的薄膜表面形貌主要受温度的影响,表面晶粒尺寸随温度上升而增大。而X射线衍射测试表明随着温度上升,所得到的薄膜也从多晶向单晶化转变。在经过退火处理后,通过观察吸收谱发现LiGaO2薄膜中产生色心,并且色心的种类与温度有关。表明可以通过气相传输平衡技术技术,在远低于LiGaO2熔点的温度制备外延GaN用(001)LiGaO2∥(100)β-Ga2O3复合衬底。

Preparation of flower-like molybdenum disulfide for solid-phase extraction of N-nitrosoamines in environmental water samples

In this paper, a flower-like molybdenum disulfide material was prepared by hydrothermal method and was first used as adsorbents in the solid-phase extraction process for enriching N-nitrosoamines. Molybdenum disulfide exhibited three-dimensional petal-like microspheres with about 500 nm in diameter. The relevant analyte extraction and elution parameters (sample volumes, solution pH, washing solvents, elution solvents, and elution volumes) were optimized to improve the solid-phase extraction efficiency. The solid-phase extraction process coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for determining N-nitrosoamines in environmental water samples was established. The limits of detection were in the range of 0.01–0.05 ng/mL. The satisfactory recoveries (68.9–106.1%) were obtained at three different spiked concentrations (2, 5, and 8 ng/mL) in water samples, and the relative standard deviations were between 1.96 and 8.38%. This proposed method not only showed high sensitivity and good reusability but also provided a new adsorbent for enriching trace N-nitrosoamines in environmental water samples.
