用NMR、FT-IR、DSC和AFM的方法研究PP-b-PE的结构与性能

聚丙烯是一种优异的高分子材料，但其低温抗冲击性能欠佳，因而限制了其应用范围。采用PP与PE嵌段共聚来改善PP的抗冲击性能是世界上目前行之有效的方法，因而引起人们的重视。由于聚丙烯嵌段共聚物（PP-b-PE）是由多组分组成的复杂体系，对其组成和链的结构仍不十分清楚。因此，本工作选取国外（6组）和国内（5组）共计11组PP-b-PE样品，分别对其结构、性能及其影响因素进行了研究，为实际应用提供了依据。为了保证能将PP-b-PE中的橡胶成分抽提出来，先将PP-b-PE样品用二甲苯溶解，之后加入甲醇沉淀、过滤、干燥，最后用正庚烷抽提，使得PP-b-PE样品中正庚烷的不可溶物与可溶物完全分离。其中，可溶物即为橡胶，不可溶物为塑料。再利用高温核磁共振谱仪（NMR）、示差扫描量热仪（DSC）和傅立汗卜变换红外谱仪（FT-IR）等先进的分析技术手段进行结构分析，并用原子力显微镜（AFM）观察生产过程中样品的形貌。实验和分析结果表明：在正庚烷可溶物中含有低熔点的聚丙烯和嵌段长度不同且能结晶的聚乙烯；并且还含有属于乙丙无规共聚物橡胶部分的n值小于4的（-CH2-）n结构，以及嵌有结晶性的丙烯和乙烯链节。正庚烷的不可溶物主要为聚丙烯，及少量聚乙烯。对于不同物性的PP-b-PE而言，正庚烷不可溶物决定了其刚性，正庚烷可溶物决定了其韧性，并由其粘度比决定了橡胶在聚丙烯中的分布情况。用AFM来研究PP-b-PE中的橡胶颗粒的分布情况是非常好的分析方法。PP-b-PE样品中橡胶的含量及其组成成分将对PP-b-PE的性能产生很大的影响。国内用浆液法生产的PP-b-PE样品中橡胶含量相对于用液一气相法和气相法生产的要少，但在其正庚烷不可溶物中含有较多的乙烯。从而可以用控制乙烯的含量来改善其抗冲击性能，这是浆液法与液一气相法和气相法的最大区别。液一气相法和气相法生产的PP-b-PE样品中的正庚烷可溶物的含量和结构十分接近。结果表明，本文采用多种不同的先进的分析方法和实验手段对PP-b-PE的结构与性能的研究是一条有效可行的实验途径。

重掺B对应变SiGe材料能带结构的影响

硅锗异质结双极晶体管(SiGe HBT)一般以重掺硼(B)的应变SiGe层作为基区.精确表征SiGe材料能带结构对SiGe HBT的设计具有重要的意义.在应变SiGe材料中,B的重掺杂一方面会因为重掺杂效应使带隙收缩,另一方面,B的引入还会部分补偿Ge引起的应变,从而改变应变引起的带隙变化.在重掺B的应变SiGe能带结构研究中,采用半经验方法,考虑了B的应变补偿作用对能带的影响,对Jain-Roulston模型进行修正,并分析了重掺杂引起的带隙收缩在导带和价带的分布.

掺P、B对纳米Zn-O薄膜电学特性的影响

现在普遍采用ITO薄膜(In_2O_3:Sn)作为太阳电池的窗口材料，但由于In资源的稀缺，使太阳能电池的成本增加。Zn-O是一种低成本材料，具有良好的电学、光学特性，因此可代替ITO薄膜作为窗口材料。由于ZnO/n-Si异质结太阳电池的转化效率为6.9%～8.5%，而ITO光电转换效率为12%～15%，采用液态源掺杂方法，取得较好效果，证实了掺P、B对纳米ZnO薄膜提高导电性是有效的。本文利用扫描俄歇探针等手段研究分析了掺P、B随热处理温度的变化对纳米Zn-O薄膜电学特性的影响。在研制过程中，对掺入P、B的纳米Zn薄膜，曾采用X射线衍射议进行分析，其结果未见P、B。

Irradiation efect in three carbon allotropes C60, diamond and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) induced by 170 keV B ions, mainly including the process of the damage creation, is investigated by means of Raman spectroscopy technique. The diferences on irradiation sensitivity and structural stability for C60, HOPG and diamond are compared. The analysis results indicate that C60 is the most sensitive for B ions irradiation,diamond is the second one and the structure of HOPG is the most stable under B ion irradiation. The damage cross sections ? of C60, diamond and HOPG deduced from the Raman spectra are 7.78×10−15 , 6.38×10−15 and1.31 × 10−15cm2, respectively.

Low-lying non-normal parity states in B-8 measured by proton elastic scattering on Be-7

A new measurement of proton resonance scattering on Be-7 was performed tip to the center-of-mass energy of 6.7 MeV using the low-energy RI beam facility CRIB (CNS Radioactive Ion Beam separator) at the Center for Nuclear Study of the University of Tokyo. The excitation function of Be-7 + p elastic scattering above 3.5 MeV was measured Successfully for the first time, providing important information about the resonance structure of the B-8 nucleus. The resonances are related to the reaction rate of Be-7(p.gamma)B-8. which is the key reaction in solar B-8 neutrino production. Evidence for the presence of two negative parity states is presented. One of them is a 2(-) state observed as a broad s-wave resonance, the existence of which had been questionable. Its possible effects on the determination of the astrophysical S-factor of Be-7(p.gamma)B-8 at solar energy are discussed. The other state had not been observed in previous measurements, and its spin and parity were determined as 1(-). (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Cell cycle and apoptosis alteration of human hepatocarcinoma cells by subclinical-dose C-12(6+)-beam irradiation

Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of subdinical-dose C-12(6+)-beam irradiation on cell cycle and cell apoptosis in hepatocarcinoma cells. Materials and methods The HepG(2) cells were exposed to 0-2.0 Gy of either the C-12(6+) beam or a gamma-ray. Cell survival was detected by clonogenic assay. Cell cycle was determined by flow-cytometry analysis. The apoptosis was monitored by fluorescence microscope with DAPI staining. p53 and p21 expression were detected by Western blot. Results The G(0)/G(1) cells in the irradiated groups were significantly more than those in the control (P<0.05). The C-12(6+)-ion irradiation had a greater effect on the cell cycle of HepG(2) cells (including promoting G(1)-phase and G(2)-phase arrest) than gamma-ray irradiation. The apoptotic cells induced by C-12(6+) beam were significantly more numerous than those induced by gamma-ray (P<0.05). The carbon ions had a stronger effect on p53 and p21 expression than the gamma-ray irradiation. The survival fractions for cells irradiated by C-12(6+) beam were significantly smaller than those irradiated by gamma-ray (P<0.05).

Alleviation of pre-exposure of mouse brain with low-dose C-12(6+) ion or Co-60 gamma-ray on male reproductive endocrine damages induced by subsequent high-dose irradiation

Irradiation has been widely reported to damage organisms by attacking on proteins, nucleic acid and lipids in cells. However, radiation hormesis after low-dose irradiation has become the focus of research in radiobiology in recent years. To investigate the effects of pre-exposure of mouse brain with low-dose C-12(6+) ion or Co-60 gamma (gamma)-ray on male reproductive endocrine capacity induced by subsequent high-dose irradiation, the brains of the B6C3F(1) hybrid strain male mice were irradiated with 0.05 Gy of C-12(6+) ion or Co-60 gamma-ray as the pre-exposure dose, and were then irradiated with 2 Gy as challenging irradiation dose at 4 h after pre-exposure. Serum pituitary gonadotropin hormones, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone, testis weight, sperm count and shape were measured on the 35th day after irradiation. The results showed that there was a significant reduction in the levels of serum FSH, LH, testosterone, testis weight and sperm count, and a significant increase in sperm abnormalities by irradiation of the mouse brain with 2 Gy of C-12(6+) ion or Co-60 gamma-ray. Moreover, the effects were more obvious in the group irradiated by C-12(6+) ion than in that irradiated by Co-60 gamma-ray. Pre-exposure with low-dose C-12(6+) ion or Co-60 gamma-ray significantly alleviated the harmful effects induced by a subsequent high-dose irradiation.

Induction of cytogenetic adaptive response in spermatogonia and spermatocytes by pre-exposure of mouse testis to low-dose C-12(6+) ions

To investigate the effects of pre-exposure of mouse testis to low-dose C-12(6+) ions on cytogenetics of spermatogonia and spermatocytes induced by subsequent high-dose irradiation. the testes of outbred Kun-Ming strain mice were irradiated with 0.05 Gy of C-12(6+) ions as the pre-exposure dose, and then irradiated with 2 Gy as challenging dose at 4 h after per-exposure. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARPs) activity and PARP-1 protein expression were respectively measured by using the enzymatic and Western blot assays at 4 h after irradiation; chromosomal aberrations in spermatogonia and spermatocytes were analyzed by the air-drying method at 8 h after irradiation. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the frequency of chromosomal aberrations and significant reductions of PARP activity and PARP-1 expression level in the mouse testes irradiated with 2 Gy of C-12(6+) ions. However, pre-exposure of mouse testes to a low dose of C-12(6+) ions significantly increased PARPs activity and PARP-1 expression and alleviated the harmful effects induced by a subsequent high-dose irradiation. PARP activity inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB) treatment blocked the effects of PARP-1 on cytogenetic adaptive response induced by low-dose C-12(6+) ion irradiation. The data suggest that pre-exposure of testes to a low dose of heavy ions can induce cytogenetic adaptive response to subsequent high-dose irradiation. The increase of PARP-1 protein induced by the low-dose ionizing irradiation may be involved in the mechanism of these observations. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Pre-irradiation with low-dose C-12(6+) beam significantly enhances the efficacy of AdCMV-p53 gene therapy in human non-small lung cancer

The combination of ionizing radiation and gene therapy has been investigated. However, there are very few reports about the combination of heavy-ion irradiation and gene therapy. To determine if the pre-exposure to low-dose heavy ion beam enhances the suppression of AdCMV-p53 on non-small lung cancer (NSLC), the cells pre-irradiated or non-irradiated were infected with 20, 40 MOI of AdCMV-p53. Survival fraction and the relative biology effect (RBE) were determined by clonogenic assay. The results showed that the proportions of p53 positive cells in C-12(6+) beam induced AdCMV-p53 infected cells were more than 90%, which were significantly more than those in gamma-ray induced AdCMV-p53 infected cells. The pre-exposure to low-dose 12C6+ beam significantly prevented the G(0)/G(1) arrest and activated G(2)/M checkpoints. The pre-exposure to C-12(6+) beam significantly improved cell to apoptosis. RBEs for the C-12(6+)+ AdCMV-p53 infection groups were 30%-60%,20% -130% and 30%-70% more than those for the C-12(6+)_irradiated only, AdCMV-p53 infected only, and gamma-irradiation induced AdCMVp53 infected groups, respectively. The data suggested that the pre-exposure to low-dose C-12(6+) beam significantly promotes exogenous p53 expression in NSLC, and the suppression of AdCMV-p53 gene therapy on NSLC.

Adaptive hormetic response of pre-exposure of mouse brain with low-dose C-12(6+) ion or Co-60 gamma-ray on growth hormone (GH) and body weight induced by subsequent high-dose irradiation

The brain of the Kun-Ming strain mice were irradiated with 0.05 Gy of C-12(6+) ion or Co-60 gamma-ray as the pre-exposure dose, and were then irradiated with 2 Gy of 12C6+ ion or Co-60 gamma-ray as challenging irradiation dose at 4 h after per-exposure. Body weight and serum growth hormone (GH) concentration were measured at 35th day after irradiation. The results showed that irradiation of mouse brain with 2 Gy of C-12(6+) ion or Co-60 gamma-ray significantly diminished mouse body weight and level of serum GH. The relative biological effectiveness values of a 2 Gy dose of C-12(6+) ion calculated with respect to Co-60 gamma-ray were 1.47 and 1.34 for body weight and serum GH concentration, respectively. Pre-exposure with a low-dose (0.05 Gy) of C-12(6+) ion or Co-60 gamma-ray significantly alleviated reductions of mouse body weight and level of serum GH induced by a subsequent high-dose (2 Gy) irradiation. The data suggested that low-dose ionizing irradiation can induce adaptive hormetic responses to the harmful effects of pituitary by subsequent high-dose exposure.

Germ cell loss induced by C-12(6+) ion irradiation in young female mice

The ovaries of Kun-Ming strain mice (3 weeks) were irradiated with different doses of C-12(6+) ion in the Bragg peak or the plateau region. At 10th day after irradiation, ovarian and uterine weights were measured: normal and atretic (identified with the oocyte to be degenerating or absent) primordial, primary and preantral follicles were identified in the largest cross-section of each ovary. Percentage (%) of normal follicles of each developmental stage of oogenesis was calculated. The data showed that compared to controls, there was a dose-related decrease in percentage of normal follicles in each developmental stage. And the weights of ovary and uterus were also reduced with doses of irradiation. Moreover, these effects were much more significant in the Bragg peak region and the region close to the Bragg peak than in the beam's entrance (the plateau region). Radiosensitivity varied in different follicle maturation stages. Primordial follicles, which are thought to be extremely sensitive to ionizing irradiation, were reduced by 86.6%, while primary and preantral follicles reduced only by 72.5% and 61.8% respectively, by exposure with 6 Gy of C-12(6+) ion in the Bragg peak region and the region close to the Bragg peak. The data suggested that due to their optimal depth-dose distribution in the Bragg peak region, heavy ions are ones of the best particles for radiotherapy of tumors located next of vital organs or/and surrounded by normal tissues, especially radiosensitive tissues such as gonads.
