Ordered droplet formation by thin polymer film dewetting on a stripe-patterned substrate

The dewetting process of thin polystyrene (PS) film on flat and stripe-patterned substrates is presented. Different dewetting processes were observed when the thin PS films annealed at above the glass transition temperature on these different kinds of substrates. The final dewetting on the flat substrate led to formation of polygonal liquid droplets, while on the stripe-patterned substrate, the droplets were observed to align at the centers of the stripes. A possible explanation for the dewetting process on the stripe-patterned substrate is proposed.

Synthesis and catalytic kinetics of tellurium-modified hyaluronic acid with glutathione peroxidase activity

A novel mimic TeHA was synthesized by modifying hyaluronic acid (HA) with tellurium, whose function is similar to that of glutathione peroxidase (GPX). The structure of TeHA was characterized by means of infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, showing that the target Te is located at -CH2OH of the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine of HA. The activity of TeHA is 163.6 U/mu mol according to Wilson's method. In contrast to other mimics, TeHA displays a high activity. Moreover, TeHA can use many hydroperoxides as substrates, such as H2O2, cumenyl hydroperoxide, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and cumenyl hydroperoxide is the optimal substrate. A ping-pong mechanism was deduced for the reduction reactions catalyzed by TeHA according to the steady-state kinetic studies.

以透明质酸(HA)作为谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPX)的酶模型,将碲(Te)引入HA中,合成了一种新型的高活力的GPX模拟物碲化透明质酸(TeHA).用红外光谱和核磁共振技术对TeHA的结构进行了研究,证明Te的修饰位点位于HA的N-乙酰氨基葡萄糖的羟甲基(-CH2OH)上.采用Wilson辅酶偶联法测定得到TeHA催化还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)还原H2O2的GPX活力为163.6 U/μmol,高于文献报道的其它模拟酶.TeHA还能够催化GSH还原异丙苯基过氧化物(CuOOH)和叔丁基过氧化物(t-BuOOH)的反应,并且CuOOH为该模拟酶的最适底物.通过研究TeHA催化GSH还原三种不同过氧化物的反应动力学发现,TeHA的催化遵循乒乓机制.

Synthesis and kinetics of a novel mimic with glutathione peroxidase activity - Tellurium-containing hyaluronic acid (TeHA)

A novel mimic was synthesized by modifying hyaluronic acid (HA) with tellurium, whose function is similar to that of glutathione peroxidase (GPX). The structure of TeHA was characterized by means of IR and NMR, the target-Te was located at -CH2OH of the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine of HA. The H2O2 reducing activity of TeHA, by glutathione (GSH), was 163.6 U/mu mol according to Wilson's method. In contrast to other mimics, TeHA displayed the highest activity. Moreover, TeHA accepted many hydroperoxides as its substrates, such as H2O2, cumenyl hydroperoxide (CuOOH) and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH), and CuOOH was the optimal substrate of TeHA. A ping-pong mechanism was observed in the steady-state kinetic studies of the reactions catalyzed by TeHA.

LB films of 2-n-heptadecanoylbenzoic-rare earth and their luminescence properties

Several ultrathin luminescent Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films have been prepared by using the subphase containing the rare earth ions (Eu3+, Tb3-). The effect of the rare earth ions on the monolayer of 2-n-heptadecanoylbenzoic acid (HBA) was investigated. IR and UV spectra showed the rare earth ions were bound to the carboxylic acid head groups and the coordination took place between the polar head group and the rare earth ions. The layer structure of the LB films was demonstrated by low-angle X-ray diffraction. UV absorbance intensity increases linearly with the number of LB films layers, which indicate that the LB films are homogeneously deposited. The LB films can give off strong fluorescence. and the signal can be detected from a single layer. The characteristic luminescence behaviors of LB films have been discussed compared with those of the complexes.

Application of ionic liquids in organic reactions

Room-temperature ionic liquids are good solvents for a wide of organic, inorganic and organometallic compounds. Typically consisting of nitrogen-containing organic cations and inorganic anions, they are easy to recycle, nonflammable, and have no detectable vapor pressure. More recently, ionic liquids have been found to be excellent solvents for a number of chemical reactions, e. g. hydrogenation, alkylation, epoxidation, Heck-vinylation, Suzuki cross-coupling reactions and enzyme catalyzed organic reactions. This paper focuses on the recent development of using ionic liquids as solvents for transition metal and enzyme catalyzed reactions.

Further study on double-melting endotherms of isotactic polypropylene

The origins of the single- and double-melting endotherms of isotactic polypropylene crystallized at different temperatures were studied carefully by differential scanning calorimetry, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and small-angle X-ray scattering. The experimental data show that spontaneous crystallization occurs when the crystallization temperature is lower than 117 degrees C; thus the lamellae formed are imperfect. At a lower heating rate, the recrystallization or reorganization of these imperfect lamellae leads to double endotherms. On the other hand, when the crystallization temperature is higher than 136 degrees C, two major kinds of lamellae with different thickness are developed during the isothermal process, which also results in the double-melting endotherms. In the intermediate temperature range the lamellae formed are perfect, and there is only a single peak in the distribution of lamellar thickness. This explains the origin of the single-melting endotherm. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Sol-gel synthesis and electrical properties of ceria-based solid electrolytes

A series of solid electrolytes (Ce0.8RE0.2)(1-x)MxO2-delta(RE: Rare earth, M: Alkali earth) were prepared by sol-gel methods. XRD indicated that a pure fluorite phase was formed at 800 degrees C. The synthesis temperature by the sol-gel methods was about 700 degrees C lower than by the traditional ceramic method. The electrical conductivity and impedance spectra were measured. XPS showed that the oxygen vacancy increased obviously by doping MO, thus, resulting in the increase of the oxygen ionic transport number and conductivity. The performance of ceria-based solid electrolyte was improved. The effects of RE2O3 and MO on the electrical properties were discussed. The conductivity and the oxygen ionic transport number of (Ce0.8Sm0.2)(1-0.05)Ca0.05O2-delta is 0.126 S.cm(-1) and 0.99 at 800 degrees C, respectively.

Ion-conducting polymers based on modified alternating maleic anhydride copolymer with oligo(oxyethylene) side chains

Comb-like polymers (CPs) based on modified alternating methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer with oligo(oxyethylene) side chains of the type -O(CH2CH2O)(n)CH3 were synthesized and characterized, and complexed with lithium salts to form amorphous polymer electrolytes. Maximum conductivity close to 1.38 x 10(-4) S/cm was achieved at room temperature and at a [Li]/[EO] ratio (EO = ethylene oxide) of about 0.066. The temperature dependence of ionic conductivity suggested that the ion transport was controlled by segmental motion of the polymer, shown by linear curves obtained in Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher plots. The ionic conductivity maximum moved to a higher salt concentration as the temperature increased, indicating that a larger number of charge carriers can be transferred through polymer chains, of which free volume is increased at higher temperature. IR results indicated that the ester in CPs might decompose at 140 degrees C and reproduce the maleic anhydride ring.
