渗透蒸发法分离水-乙醇液体混合物

利用自由基聚合的方法分别合成了三种不同配比的醋酸乙烯酯（VA）与马来酸酐（MA）的共聚物（VA-MA），将所得共聚物水解后，配成丙酮溶液成膜，然后分别用无机盐水溶液（CaCl_2，SrCl_2，BaCl_2， CuSO_4）进行交联，便得到了用于水-乙醇液体混合物分离的渗透蒸发膜材料。用IR，NMR，X-ray，TG，力学性能等方法对水解前后的共聚物及交联后的膜材进行了表征，结果表明，每一过程都达到了我们预期的目的，且所得膜材料具有良好的力学性能和热学性能。比较详细地研究了三种不同组成的膜材用BaCl_2水溶液交联以后，在对水-乙醇混合物分离过程中所表现的渗透蒸发性能，结果表明，三种类型的膜材均能对水-乙醇混合物进行有效地分离，随着料液中水含量增加，透过速率随之升高，而分离系数却相应地减小，在操作温度升高过程中，透过透率随温度变化的规律均符合阿仑尼乌斯方程。但是，由于不同类型的共聚物膜材中两种单体的含量各不相同，便使它们在分离性能上也产生了一定的差异，共聚物中马来酸酐含量越高，即膜材中-COOH的含量越高，其分离性能越好，三种膜材中以（VA:MA = 1.1:1）组成的膜材其分离性能尤为突出。膜分离性能的好坏还同交联时间的长短有关，在研究了不同交联时间的膜对水-乙醇混合物的渗透蒸发性能以后得出结论，膜交联时间的长短对其透过速率影响不大，而对分离系数的影响则比较显著，分离系数在交联时间的变化过程中存在一个极大值，操作条件不同，膜要达到最大分离所需的最佳交联时间亦不相同。在上述结果的基础上，我们又分别研究了另外三种不同无机盐（CaCl_2，SrCl_2， CuSO_4）交联的共聚物膜材对水-乙醇混合物的分离性能，同BaCl_2交联膜的分离性能比较以后得出结论，不同交联剂交联的膜，其分离性能也存在着很大的差异，主要表现在对温度的依赖关系上。Ca~(2+)，Sr~(2+)，Ba~(2+)三种离子其交联膜的分离性能依次增强，膜分离系数对温度的稳定性也依次增强，这些性能上的差异同无相盐本身的性质密切相关。上述讨论的几种膜材中，以BaCl_2交联（1.1:1）组成的膜材其性能最佳，将此膜材用于水-乙醇混合物的分离时，不仅可以得到比较高的透过速率，还具有很可观的分离系数，且分离系数对温度还具有比较好的稳定性。因此，可以说它是一种性能良好的渗透蒸发膜材料。最后，我们还定性地分析了无机盐对共聚物膜的交联机理，认为膜的交联分为金属离子向膜中的扩散和它与组成膜材的共聚物分子链上悬垂-COOH的化学反应两个过程，其中扩散是交联的控制过程。

The synthesis of ionic-liquid-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes decorated with highly dispersed Au nanoparticles and their use in oxygen reduction by electrocatalysis

Multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/ionic liquid/gold nanoparticle hybrid materials have been prepared by a chemical route that involves functionalization of MWCNT with amine-terminated ionic liquids followed by deposition of Au. Transmission electron microscopy revealed well-distributed Au with a narrow size distribution centered around 3.3 nm. The identity of the hybrid material was confirmed through Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Different electronic structures and spectroscopic properties of cationic [M(ppy)2(N--N)]+ (M = Rh, Ir; N--N = Hcmbpy, H2dcbpy), a DFT study.

We report a comparative quantum-chemical study of the electronic structures and optical properties of a series of cationic complexes [M(ppy)(2)(N--N)](+) (N--N = Hcmbpy = 4-carboxy-4'-methylbpy, M = Rh (Rh1), Ir(Ir2); N--N = H(2)dcbpy = 4,4'-dicarboxy-bpy, M = Rh (Rh3) and Ir (Ir4)). The theoretical calculation reveals that the increased number of -COOH groups on the bpy ligand can decrease the energy levels of LUMO more than HOMO and narrow down the HOMO-LUMO energy gaps, which results in the red-shifted of the lowest-lying absorption and phosphorescent spectra. The lowest-lying singlet absorptions were categorized as d(M,M = Rh or Ir) + pi(ppy) -->pi*(bpy) with MLCT and LLCT characters.

Highly conductive, methanol resistant fuel cell membranes fabricated by layer-by-layer self-assembly of inorganic heteropolyacid

Layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly is a simple and elegant method of constructing organic-inorganic composite thin films from environmentally benign aqueous solutions. In this paper, we utilize this method to develop proton-exchange membranes for fuel cells. The multilayer film is constructed onto the surface of sulfonated poly(arylene ether ketone) (SPAEK-COOH) membrane by LBL self-assembly of polycation chitosan (CTS) and negatively charged inorganic particle phosphotungstic acid (VIA). The highly conductive inorganic nanoparticles ensure SPAEK-COOH-(CTS/PTA)(n) membranes to maintain high proton conductivity values up to 0.086 S cm(-1) at 25 degrees C and 0.24S cm(-1) at 80 degrees C, which are superior than previous LBL assembled electrolyte systems.

Novel sulfonated poly(arylene ether ketone) copolymers bearing carboxylic or benzimidazole pendant groups for proton exchange membranes

A novel strategy in which the benzimidazole group and sulfonic group are simultaneously attached to an aromatic polymer has been reported in this paper. For this purpose, sulfonated poly(arylene ether ketone) copolymers containing carboxylic acid groups (SPAEK-x-COOH, x refers to the molar percentage Of sulfonated repeating units) are prepared by the aromatic nucleophilic polycondensation of sodium 5,5'-carbonyl-bis(2-fluobenzene-sulfonate) (SDFBP), 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone (DFBP) and phenolphthalin (PPL). Then the carboxylic acid groups attached to the SPAEK-x-COOH are transformed to benzimidazole units through condensation reactions (referred to as SPAEK-x-BI). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and H-1 NMR measurements are used to characterize and confirm the structures of these copolymers.

Self-assembly of polypeptide-containing ABC-type triblock copolymers in aqueous solution and its pH dependence

Self-assembling of novel biodegradable ABC-type triblock copolymer poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(L-lactide)-poly(L-glutamic acid) (PEG-PLLA-PLGA) is studied. In aqueous media, it self-assembles into a spherical micelle with the hydrophobic PLLA segment in the core and the two hydrophilic segments PEG and PLGA in the shell. With the lengths of PEG and PLLA blocks fixed, the diameter of the micelles depends on the length of the PLGA block and on the volume ratio of H2O/dimethylformamide (DMF) in the media. When the PLGA block is long enough, morphology of the self-assembly is pH-dependent. It assembles into the spherical micelle in aqueous media at pH 4.5 and into the connected rod at or below pH 3.2. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) of the copolymer changes accordingly with decreasing solution pH. Both aggregation states can convert to each other at the proper pH value. This reversibility is ascribed to the dissociation and neutralization of the COOH groups in the LGA residues. When the PLGA block is short compared to the PEG or PLLA block, it assembles only into the spherical micelle at various pH values.

Thionine-interlinked multi-walled carbon nanotube/gold nanoparticle composites

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/thionine/gold nanoparticle composites were prepared by binding gold nanoparticles to the surfaces of thionine-coated carbon nanotubes. TEM images show gold nanoparticles distributed uniformly on nanotube walls and ends. UV-Vis, Raman, FT-IR, and zeta potential measurements were used to examine the properties of the resulting products. The composites demonstrate significant electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction. Although only gold nanoparticles were investigated here, the method could be easily extended to attach other metallic nanoparticles to the sidewalls of carbon nanotubes.

Selective crystallization of BaF2 under a compressed Langmuir monolayer of behenic acid

Selective crystallization of BaF2 crystals under a compressed Langmuir monolayer of behenic acid [CH3(CH2)(20)COOH] has been studied by using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. It was found that, in the absence of a monolayer, three kinds of crystals (Ba2ClF3, BaClF, and BaF2) can be obtained by mixing BaCl2 with a NH4F solution. However, in the presence of the monolayer of behenic acid, only BaF2 crystals appear at the monolayer-subphase interface and crystals have a special crystal face (100). During this process of crystallization, the monolayer plays a very important role and acts as a template that can preferentially select a special crystal and a special crystal face. The above results can be explained in terms of a specific molecular interaction between ions and the headgroups of the monolayer and specific electrostatic, geometric, and stereochemical interactions at the organic-inorganic interface.

Determination of surface pK(a) of SAM using an electrochemical titration method

A self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (HSCH2CH2COOH) was formed on a gold electrode. The effect of the charge of the end group on the electrochemical response of Fe(CN)(6)(3-) at the SAM modified electrode was studied by using cyclic voltammetry. At high pH, when the -COOH groups are dissociated, Fe(CN)(6)(3-) current is suppressed; as the solution pH is lowered, Fe(CN)(6)(3-) current increases. The electrochemical titration curve was obtained by correlating the currents to the different electrolyte pH values, from which the surface pK(a) was obtained to be 5.2+/-0.1. Furthermore, a calculation equation was presented to simulate the electrochemical titration. As comparison, the surface pK(a) was also measured by contact angle titration as 5.6+/-0.1. The surface pK(a) values determined by the two methods in our work are consistent and accurate.

Rheological, thermal, and morphological properties of ABS-PA1010 blends

Noncompatibilized and compatibilized ABS-nylon1010 blends were prepared by melt mixing. Polystyrene and glycidyl methacrylate (SG) copolymer was used as a compatibilizer to enhance the interfacial adhesion and to control the morphology. This SG copolymer contains reactive glycidyl groups that are able to react with PA1010 end groups (-NH2 or -COOH) under melt conditions to form SG-g-Nylon copolymer. Effects of the compatibilizer SG on the rheological, thermal, and morphological properties were investigated by capillary rheometer, DSC, and SEM techniques. The compatibilized ABS-PA1010 blend has higher viscosity, lower crystallinity, and smaller phase domain compared to the corresponding noncompatibilized blend. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Gas separation properties of aromatic polyetherimides from 1,4-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)benzene dianhydride and 3,5-diaminobenzic acid or its esters

The gas transport properties of a series polyetherimides, which were prepared from 1,4-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)benzene dianhydride (HQDPA) with 1,3-phenylenediamine or 3,5-diaminobenzic acid (DBA) or its esters are reported. The effects of carboxylic group (-COOH) and carboxylic ether groups (-COOR), at five positions of 1,3-phenylenediamine moiety, on H-2, CO2, O-2, and N-2 permeability, diffusivity, and solubility of the polyetherimides were investigated. The gas permeability, diffusion, and solubility coefficients of the polyetherimides containing COOR are bigger than those of HQDPA-PDA, but the ideal separation factors and ideal diffusivity selectivity factors are much smaller than that of HQDPA-PDA because COOR decreases chain segmental packing efficiency and increases chain segmental mobility. The permeability coefficients of HQDPA-DBA to H-2, CO2, and O-2 are bigger than those of HQDPA-PDA; the ideal separation factors for gas pairs H-2/N-2, CO2/N-2, and O-2/N-2 are also much bigger than those of HQDPA-PDA. Both the diffusion coefficients of CO2 and O-2 and the ideal diffusivity selectivity factors for CO2/N-2 and O-2/N-2 are bigger than those of HQDPA-PDA because COOH decreases both chain segmental packing efficiency and chain segmental mobility. The copolyimides, which were prepared from 3,5-diaminobenzic acid and 3,5-diaminobenzic esters, have both high permeability and high permselectivity. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and thermal transitional properties of side-chain liquid crystalline polyacrylates containing para-nitroazobenzene as mesogenic groups

The synthesis and characterization of side-chain liquid crystalline (LC) polyacrylates containing para-nitroazobenzene (Pn) as mesogenic groups were described. Homopolymers with 3 and 4 carbon atoms in the spacers were non-LC polymers; for homopolymers with 6 carbon atoms in the spacer, nematic LC behavior was observed. Copolymers with acrylic acid as one component exhibited an S-Ad phase according to the WAXD results which showed the d/l of 1.4-1.54 for the copolymers with 3, 4, and 6 carbon atoms in the spacers. Considering the molecular structure as well as the WAXD results of the copolymers, the possible molecular arrangement in the smectic Sad phase was proposed, in which the smectic layers were composed of the antiparallel mesogens and the antiparallel arrangement was considered to be enhanced due to the H bond between - COOH and - NO2. The stress-induced orientational phenomena of Pn in the LC states was also discussed. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

ULTRASTRUCTURE OF LIQUID-CRYSTALLINE POLYACRYLATES CONTAINING P-NITRO AZOBENZENE

The phase behaviour ai the side chain liquid crystalline polyacrylates containing p-nitro azobenzene was studied bg DSC, WAXD and the polarized optical microscopy. It was shown that nematic phase can be formed for homopolymer HP6, no LC phase can be observed for HF3 and HP4; whereas smectic S-Ad phase can be obtained tor P-n when n was equal to 3,4, 6,8. The unique phase behaviour of the copolymers P-n was due to the existence of H bond between -COOH and -NO2 which lias been confirmed by FTIR. The molecular arrangement of the copolymers in their LC states was proposed from the results of WAXD and FTIR.
