Molecular dynamics simulation of sub-transition for polyethersulfone

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a polyethersulfone (PES) chain are carried out in the amorphous state by using the Dreiding 2.21 force field at four temperatures. Two types of molecular motion, i.e, rotations of phenylene rings and torsions of large segments containing two oxygen atoms, two sulfur atoms, and five phenylene rings on the backbone, are simulated. The modeling results show that the successive phenylene rings should be in-phase cooperative rotations, whereas the successive large segments should be out-of-phase cooperative torsions. By calculating the diffusion coefficient for the phenylene ring rotations, it is found that this rotation contributes to the beta -transition of PES.

Separation of promethazine and thioridazine using capillary electrophoresis with end-column amperometric detection

Promethazine and thioridazine were separated and detected by capillary electrophoresis with end-column amperometric detection. The influence of pH Value on oxidation potential, the peak current and the resolution were studied and the following conditions was selected: 0.03 M Na2HPO4 and 0.015 M citric acid at pH 3.0, detection potential at 1.10 V. The detection limits of these two substances were in the range of 10(-8) mol/l. The linear range spanned two to three orders of magnitude. This method was applied to the detection of promethazine and thioridazine spiked in urine. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Biochemical characterization of selenium-containing catalytic antibody as a cytosolic glutathione peroxidase mimic

A selenium-containing catalytic antibody (Se-4A4), prepared by converting reactive serine residues of a monoclonal antibody (4A4) raised against a GSH derivative into selenocysteines, acts as a mimic of cytosolic glutathione peroxidase (cGPX). To clarify the mechanism of action of this catalytic antibody, detailed studies on kinetic behaviour and biological activity were carried out. A rate of acceleration (k(cat)/K-m/k(uncat)) 10(7)-fold that of the uncatalytic reaction is observed. Under similar conditions, the turnover number (k(cat)) of Se-4A4 is 42% of that of the natural rabbit liver cGPX. The Se-4A4 reaction involves a Ping Pong mechanism, which is the same as that of the natural cGPX. The selenocysteine residue is located in the binding site of the antibody and is shown to be crucial for this activity. Of the thiol compounds tested, only GSH is able to serve as substrate for Se-4A4. It was demonstrated, using the free-radical-damage system (hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase) of cardiac mitochondria, that Se-4A4 can protect mitochondria from free-radical damage at least 10(4)-fold more effectively than the natural cGPX.

Bright blue electroluminescent devices utilizing poly (N-vinylcarbazole) doped with fluorescent dye

Bright blue electroluminescent devices have been fabricated using poly (N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) doped with perylene as the emissive layer, poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) as the hole-transporting layer, 2-(4-biphenylyl)-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD), tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum (Alq(3)) as the electron-transporting layer, and Al as the cathode. A luminance of 700 cd/m(2) and a luminescent efficiency of 0.8% are achieved at a drive voltage of 36 V. In the experiment, it is found that the introduction of electron-transporting layer PBD has a great effect on the emissive color of the electroluminescent devices prepared by PVK doped with perylene. Yellow-green emission is observed from the device structure of glass substrate/indium-tin-oxide/PVK:perylene/Al. The possible emissive mechanisms are given. The effect of the transporting layer on the electroluminescence is also discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.

Barrier property and structure of acrylonitrile/acrylic copolymers

A series of acrylonitrile (AN) copolymers with methyl acrylate (MA) or ethyl acrylate (EA) as comonomer (5-23 wt%) was prepared by free-radical copolymerisation. The permeability coefficients of the copolymers to oxygen and carbon dioxide were measured at 1.0 MPa and at 30 degrees C, and those to water vapor also measured at 100% relative humidity and at 30 degrees C. All the AN/acrylic copolymers are semicrystalline. As the acrylate content increase, the permeability coefficients of the copolymers to oxygen and carbon dioxide are increased progressively, but those to water vapor are decreased progressively. The gas permeability coefficients of the polymers were correlated with free-volume fractions or the ratio of free volume to cohesive energy.

双镥金属富勒烯的合成、提取与表征

自La@C_(82)被发现以来,能导致新分子、新材料不断涌现的金属富勒烯的研究就一直是富勒烯化学领域中最吸引人的分支,但是它的发展比较缓慢,直到K-H方法被应用于宏观量地合成金属富勒烯,这种情况才有所改善.现在,大多数镧系元素,包括La,Ce,Nd,Sm,Eu,Gd,Tb,Dy,Ho和Er,已通过金属/碳棒在低压氦气条件下的电弧放电过程被成功地包裹于富勒烯碳笼当中并被溶剂提取出来,它们提取液的质谱图均给出明显的M@C_(82)信号.与此相反,我们这里报道了一种特殊的镧系元素——镥,在它的金属富勒烯提取液中,只有双镥富勒烯,Lu_2@C_(2n),能被激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱与解吸电子轰击质谱观察到.含富勒烯与双镥富勒烯的碳炱用电弧放电法制备.简单来说,直径6mm的光谱纯碳棒,钻孔,填入99.99%Lu_2O_3与碳粉的混合物,使总原子比为1.0Lu/100C,此金属/碳的混合棒先在真空条件下(10~(-3)×133.332 Pa),2000 K处理3h,然后作为正极在160×133.332 Pa氦气中直流电弧放电,电弧电流80A.生成的碳炱用甲苯索氏提取后,再于高压釜中523 K时,

Structure and luminescent properties of three new silver lanthanide molybdates

Three new compounds AgLnMo(2)O(8) (Ln = Eu, Gd, Tb) crystallize with a tetragonal scheelite-type structure characterized by MoO4 tetrahedra. The IR spectra show three absorption bands, which correspond respectively to the nu(1), nu(2), and nu(3) modes of the tetrahedral-MoO42- groups. The emission of AgGdMo2O8 shows the band of the MoO42- groups around 600 nm wavelength with very weak intensity. Both AgEuMo2O8 and AgTbMo2O8 emit intensely, and the concentration quenchings of both Eu3+ and Tb3+ luminescences are very weak. For all compounds, Ag+ luminescence is not observed.

环化顺1，4－聚丁二烯浓溶液的流动行为

大多数线型高聚物浓溶液的流动行为呈现非牛顿性，线型顺１，４－聚丁二烯（ＬＢＲ）亦然，而环化顺１，４－聚丁烯（ＣＢＲ）的浓溶液在浓度达１７．８％时仍表现为牛顿流体。ＣＢＲ溶液的临界缠结浓度明显地高于ＬＢＲ，ＣＢＲ分子链间的缠结效应比ＬＢＲ弱得多，这是ＣＢＲ的分子链结构特征所致。

GAS PERMEABILITIES OF POLY(TRIMETHYLSILYLPROPYNE) MEMBRANES SURFACE MODIFIED WITH CF4 PLASMA

Surface fluorination of poly (trimethylsilylpropyne) (PTMSP) membranes by CF4 plasma was studied. The surface fluorination of the membranes was carried out in an atmosphere of CF4 in a capacitively coupled discharge apparatus with external electrodes. Dramatic increase in selectivity (P(O2)/P(N2)) was observed. The effect of fluorination conditions such as duration of treatment and discharge power on the permeabilities of the membranes was studied. X-ray photoelectron spectrometric data of modified PTMSP membranes showed a drastic alternation in the surface layer. The P(O2) and P(O2)/P(N2) of the membranes were observed to be dependent on the F/C atomic ratio. At F/C > 1, the P(O2/P(N2) value of the membranes could be more than four.
