Abstract:
Shape memory poly(vinylidene fluoride)/acrylic(PVDF/ACM) blends,in which tiny crystals of PVDF serve as the net points,were fabricated.Furthermore,carbon nanotubes(CNTs) were introduced to enhance the shape recovery properties.Fabrication,structure and performance of nanocomposites were investigated systemically.Our results show that PVDF and ACM are miscible,and the CNTs are all well dispersed.The resultant storage modulus of the shape memory materials is improved remarkably from 2000 MPa to 3130 MPa at 25℃,while the shape memory performance of them remains stable.

Abstract:
Poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne)(PTMSP) membranes were prepared by a solution-casting method in thickness ranging from 50 μm to 202 μm to study the effect of aging on their gas permeabilities.These membranes stored at room temperature display substantial decreases in gas permeability with time because of physical aging.The gas permeability decreased rapidly at first,and a slower,more gradual decrease and then almost leveled off was observed.PTMSP membrane stored in air exhibited slightly larger permeability decrement than that stored in N2.The decrease rate of gas permeability increased with the decrease of membrane thickness,and it decreased much more when the PTMSP membrane aged at high temperature of 100℃ in air,which is due to both physical aging and chemical aging.IR spectrum of the membrane indicates that storage of PTMSP at high temperature in air results in oxidation of the polymer with formation of CO groups.The gas permeability coefficient(P) of the membrane was inspected in more detail by determining the gas diffusion coefficient(D) and gas solubility coefficient(S).The S value hardly changed during storage,whereas the D value decreased with aging,which is responsible for the decrease of gas permeability.The decrease of D can be explained by the elimination of fractional free volume due to the volume relaxation and/or densification and the formation of polar groups in the polymer.

Abstract:
A prepolymer was prepared by reacting the obtained sulfonated polyester polyol with isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI) and trimethylolpropane(TMP).The seed emulsion containing viny and silicone was prepared by end-capping with bifunctional monomer β-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA) and modification by silane coupling agent γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane(KH550).The silicone modified sulfonated polyurethane/acrylic composite emulsion was obtained by mixing methyl methacrylate(MMA) and butyl acrylate(BA) monomers.The silicone modified sulfonated polyurethane/acrylic composite emulsion was characterized by infrared spectroscopy.The core-shell structure of the composite emulsion was confirmed by the transmission electron microscopy.Thermogravimetric analysis showed that an increase of 20℃ of the largest thermal mass loss temperature could be observed for the organic silicon and acrylic modified films.Meanwhile,the crystallinity was decreased as revealed by X-ray diffraction result,which could help to improve the toughness of the film.In addition,when the organic silicon content is 1.9%,the tensile strength of the film is up to 25.03 MPa,its elongation at break is 328%,and has the lowest water absorption.

Abstract:
Three kinds vanadate-replaced polyoxometalates,α-1,2,3-K6H[SiW9V3O40],α-1,2-K6[SiW10V2O40] and α-K5[SiW11VO40](abbreviated as α-SiW9V3,α-SiW10V2,α-SiW11V) were synthesized and evaluated as tyrosinase inhibitors using the enzymological kinetic method.The results demonstrate that α-SiW9V3 can inhibit tyrosinase strongly,as demonstrated by the inhibition of the steady-state activity of the enzyme and the lengthening of the lag time.The IC50 of α-SiW9V3 was estimated to be 0.6841 mmol/L for the inhibition of mushroom tyrosinase.It resulted in the lag time of the monophenolase extension from 235 s to 650 s with 0.7 mmol/L of α-SiW9V3.The inhibition of α-SiW9V3 on monophenolase of mushroom tyrosinase proceeds as reversible process,and the inhibition of α-SiW9V3 is a competitive-uncompetitive mixed-Ⅱ type due to the oxidation of L-tyrosine.The inhibition constants(KI and KIS) are determined to be 4.22 mmol/L and 2.39 mmol/L,respectively.As for the α-SiW10V2,however,it is unsoluble in DMSO buffer,and its effect on the mushroom tyrosinase cannot be studied.While the inhibition ability of α-SiW11V on tyrosinase activity is rather weak.

Abstract:
The poor electrocatalytic stability of the carbon-supported palladium(Pd/C) catalyst for formic acid oxidation and the catalytic performance of the Pd/C catalyst for the decomposition of formic acid are the two problems of the direct formic acid fuel cell(DFAFC).It was found from the investigation that after the Pd/C catalyst is dipped in NaVO3 solution,VO3- can be adsorbed on the Pd/C catalyst.After the Pd/C catalyst is adsorbed with VO3-,the catalytic performance of the Pd/C catalyst for the decomposition of formic acid would be significantly inhibited,and the amount of CO produced from the decomposition of formic acid would be reduced,with the poison probability of the Pd/C catalyst by CO significantly reduced.Consequently,the peak current density at the Pd/C catalyst after dipping in NaVO3 solution for formic acid oxidation is 13% higher than that at the Pd/C catalyst without dipping in NaVO3 solution.The measurements of chronoamperometric curves indicate that the peak current density for formic acid oxidation at Pd/C catalyst after dipping in NaVO3 solution for 6000 s is 42% higher than that at the Pd/C catalyst without dipping in NaVO3 solution.The results demonstrate that dipping in NaVO3 solution can improve the electrocatalytic ability of Pd/C toward oxidation of formic acid,especially the electrocatalytic stability.

Abstract:
The lead dioxide-tungsten carbide(PbO2-WC) electrodes were prepared on stainless steel substrate by composite electrodeposition.The influences of temperature,current density and WC granule concentration on electrode performance were studied.Analyses of oxygen evolution curves,Tafel curves,scanning electron microscope,X-ray diffraction were used to investigate the performance changes after modified by WC granule.The optimal conditions were obtained as follows,temperature:70℃,current density:0.015~0.025 A/cm2,WC granule concentration in plating solution:40 g/L.In the process of codeposition,the results showed that the growth of PbO2 is preferred,with the PbO2 grain refined by WC granule,and the coating became denser.In comparison to the PbO2 electrode,the PbO2-WC composite electrode exhibits a stronger corrosion resistance and a lower oxygen evolution potential.

Abstract:
Composite conductive polymers consisting of polypyrrole(PPy) and polyaniline(Pani) were synthesized successfully using cyclic voltammetry technique with 0.3 mol/L oxalic acid in the corresponding monomer solutions.The properties of the anticorrosion assembled with conducting polymers were investigated by IR,polarization curve,SEM,electrochemical impedence spectroscopy and free corrosion potentials.The result has shown that in 1 mol/L H2SO4,composite conductive polymers have the redox reaction with the stainless steel substrate,deactivating the stainless steel surface.When the molar ratio of aniline and pyrrole is 1:3,the prepared composite conductive polymers protect stainless steel with the minimum corrosion current,the highest corrosion potential,and the longest protected time.Electrochemistry impedance measurements indicate that the polypyrrole and polyaniline have the redox reaction with the stainless steel substrate,promoting the stainless steel surface passivation;however,the deactivated membrane may be destroyed and cause the stainless steel to be corroded when Cl- diffuses to the stainless steel surface.

Abstract:
The underpotential deposition(UPD) of zinc from alkaline media on Au substrate has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and chronoampermetry.Experimental conditions such as the concentration of zinc precursor and scanning rate have been investigated.The analysis of the experimental data clearly showed the UPD process was initiated at-0.935 V(vs.SCE).In adaition,the concentration change of metal cation may affect the kinetics of the UPD process.The potentiostatic transients suggested an adatom-incorporation limited,two-dimensional(2D) instantaneous nucleation and growth mechanism.In addition,the adsorption of hydroxyl group could exert significant influence on the UPD of zinc on Au.

Abstract:
Perfluorooctane sulfonate(PFOS) can quench the fluorescence of rhodamine B(RhB) in pH=1.81 Britton-Robinson(BR) buffer solution,and results in light scattering enhancement by electrostatic forces and hydrophobic interactions.In this work,a light scattering-fluorescence ratio method of PFOS was established with a common spectrofluorometer by measuring the light emission signals through one scanning,out of which a ratio of the intensity of light scattering at 340 nm to that of fluorescence at 596 nm could be obtained.The linear range is from 0.17 to 10.0 μmol/L,and the limit of detection(3σ) is 17 nmol/L.The method has been applied to the determination of PFOS in the environmental samples with RSD≤4.2%.

[Abstract](307) [FullText HTML] [PDF 598KB](1)
Abstract:
Blue luminescent gold(Au) quantum dots(QDs) were facilely prepared through a one-pot synthesis at room temperature.The as prepared Au QDs were well water-soluble and biocompatable.The mean size of Au QDs is about 3.0 nm.Gold QDs colloids showed a considerable blue fluorescence emission at 430 nm under excitation of 305 nm.Experimental results demonstrated that the addition of L-cysteine could significantly enhance the characteristic emission of Au QDs at 430 nm.Therein,a simple,rapid,sensitive detection of L-cysteine in aqueous solution was established.Under optimized conditions,the characteristic fluorescence intensity of Au QDs at 430 nm is linearly proportional to the concentration of L-cysteine in the range of 0.0 to 4.0×10-6 μmol/L and a detection limit as low as 5 nmol/L was obtained.The relative linear relationship coefficient is 0.9976.The relative standard deviation for 11 replicate detections of 2.0 μmol/L L-cysteine was 2.8%.In addition,this method also demonstrated a high selectivity to amino acids due to the strong affinity of L-cysteine to gold atoms.
