The effect of surface sulfonation of PVC treated by various SO2/O2 gas plasma depended on the volume ratio O2/(SO2 +O2). When the volume ratio was 0.5, the effect of sulfonation was the best. Sulfonic acid groups were specifically and efficiently introduced onto the PVC surface, which was proved by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transfer Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. The surface microstructure of modified PVC film was studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The antithrombogenicity of the samples was determined by the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT) and plasma recalcification time (PRT) tests and platelet adhesion experiment. The results indicated that the antithrombogenicity of modified PVC was improved remarkably.展开更多

In order to improve some of its properties for application in high performance membrane, the PEK-C has been sulfonated with concentrated sulfuric acid. Degree of sulfonation can be regulated by controlling the temmperature and time of sulfonation. The characterization of the sulfonated PEK-C in sodium salt form has been made by IR, ~1H NMR and ^(13)C NMR etc. It is shown that the sulfonation appears to take place exclusively in the ortho position to phenolic ether of phenolphthalein unit. The result is in agreement with theoretical deduction. Some properties of the sulfonated PEK-C, such as solubility, transition temperature, thermal degradation and hydrophilicity have also been discussed.展开更多

To achieve this aim, the approach we adopt is to improve the solubility of the final product in themixed solvent so that the sulfonation may take place between the bulk solutions and PPO powders even at higher sulfonationdegree. It is shown that the addition of a proper amount of dimethyl formide (DMF) to the conventional PPO-chloroformsystem can actually enhance the sulfonation effect. The solvent composition is then correlated with the sulfonation degreebased on the solubility parameters. It is interesting to find that solubility parameters between the mixed solvent and theprecipitated products keep an approximately unchanged value at about 4.9, which is just equal to that when pure chloroformis used, though the solubility parameters of both solvents increase with the content of DMF in solution. This may be the mainreason why the addition of DMF can reduce the precipitation and improve the ion exchange capacity (IEC) of SPPOpolymer.展开更多

Lasiodiplodan was sulfonated by the chlorosulfonic acid-pyridine method. The modified exopolysaccharide was characterized by FT-IR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and SEM. Antioxidant activity was assessed by the methods of H2O2 and OH radical removal and reducing power. Antimicrobial potential was evaluated by the broth-microdilution method. Sulfonation resulted in a derivative with DS of 0.24. FT-IR analysis indicated the introduction of sulfonyl groups in the macromolecule structure through specific bands in the regions of 1,240 cm-1 and 810 cm-1. 13C NMR analysis suggested that sulfonation occurred at carbon 2 of the glucose residue. Sulfonation led to morphological changes in the structure of the biopolymer resulting in a heterogeneous structure with the presence of fibrils. Derivatization promoted an increase in the antioxidant ability of the macromolecule, with a high OH removal potential （74.32%）. Bacteriostatic activity against E. coli （Escherichia coli） and S. enterica （Salmonella enterica） typhimurium and fungicidal activity against C. albicans （Candida albicans） and C. tropicalis （Candida tropicalis） were found in the sulfonated sample. Sulfonation potentiated the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the biomacromolecule, suggesting that it is a potentiating mechanism of biological functions.展开更多

文摘To enhance the blood compatibility of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) film, the film was modified by SO2/O2 gas plasma treatment. The effect of surface sulfonation of PVC treated by various SO2/O2 gas plasma depended on the volume ratio O2/(SO2 +O2). When the volume ratio was 0.5, the effect of sulfonation was the best. Sulfonic acid groups were specifically and efficiently introduced onto the PVC surface, which was proved by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transfer Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. The surface microstructure of modified PVC film was studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The antithrombogenicity of the samples was determined by the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT) and plasma recalcification time (PRT) tests and platelet adhesion experiment. The results indicated that the antithrombogenicity of modified PVC was improved remarkably.

文摘The work herein employed a rotating packed bed(RPB)to intensify the sulfonation process of 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone leuco(DL)in an attempt to improve the yield of the product 1,4-diaminoanthra quinone-2-sulfonic acid(DSA).First,the effects of operating conditions in a stirred tank reactor(STR),including stirring speed,chlorosulfonic acid/DL molar ratio(η),solvent/DL mass ratio(ζ),reaction temperature and dropping speed of chlorosulfonic acid,on the yield of DSA were investigated.The yield of DSA can reach 87.34%under the optimal operating conditions:stirring speed of 500 r·min^(-1),ηof 4.5,ζof 7,reaction temperature of 150℃,dropping speed of 0.61 ml·min^(-1).In addition,the kinetics of the sulfonation process via the shrinking core model revealed that the reaction is controlled by diffusion via a product layer under the reaction temperature of 140℃.Furthermore,the RPB was employed to intensify the mass transfer between liquid and solid phases during the sulfonation reaction process.The results showed that the DSA yield of 92.69%obtained by RPB was 5.35%higher than that by STR,indicating that RPB can significantly intensify the mass transfer in the liquid-solid phase sulfonation reaction process.
文摘A novel polyetheretherketone (PEK-C) prepared from phenolphthalein has been synthesized. In order to improve some of its properties for application in high performance membrane, the PEK-C has been sulfonated with concentrated sulfuric acid. Degree of sulfonation can be regulated by controlling the temmperature and time of sulfonation. The characterization of the sulfonated PEK-C in sodium salt form has been made by IR, ~1H NMR and ^(13)C NMR etc. It is shown that the sulfonation appears to take place exclusively in the ortho position to phenolic ether of phenolphthalein unit. The result is in agreement with theoretical deduction. Some properties of the sulfonated PEK-C, such as solubility, transition temperature, thermal degradation and hydrophilicity have also been discussed.

文摘This paper investigates the possibility of attaining sulphonated poly(phenylene oxide) (SPPO) with a relativelyhigher sulfonation degree. To achieve this aim, the approach we adopt is to improve the solubility of the final product in themixed solvent so that the sulfonation may take place between the bulk solutions and PPO powders even at higher sulfonationdegree. It is shown that the addition of a proper amount of dimethyl formide (DMF) to the conventional PPO-chloroformsystem can actually enhance the sulfonation effect. The solvent composition is then correlated with the sulfonation degreebased on the solubility parameters. It is interesting to find that solubility parameters between the mixed solvent and theprecipitated products keep an approximately unchanged value at about 4.9, which is just equal to that when pure chloroformis used, though the solubility parameters of both solvents increase with the content of DMF in solution. This may be the mainreason why the addition of DMF can reduce the precipitation and improve the ion exchange capacity (IEC) of SPPOpolymer.

文摘3-Methylthio-5-hydroxy-1,2,4-triazine(1c)reacted with substituted benzenesulfonyl chloride to give 3-methylthio-5-oxy-1,2,4-triazin-6-yl pyridinium betaine(4)in anhydrous pyridine.But when NaOH/H_2O/CH_3COCH_3 or NaOH/CH_3OH were used as reactant and solvent,3-methylthio-4-substituted benzenesulfonyl-5-oxo-6-hydroxy-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazine(6)or 1-tosyl-3-methylthio-5-oxo-6-methyloxy-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazine(7)was obtained respectively.The above reactions show anomalous properties of nucleophilic attack on 6-carbon in 1,2,4-triazine ring.
文摘The objective of this study was to investigate the sulfonation of （1→6）-β-D-glucan （lasiodiplodan） as a potentiating mechanism for biological functionalities. Lasiodiplodan was sulfonated by the chlorosulfonic acid-pyridine method. The modified exopolysaccharide was characterized by FT-IR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and SEM. Antioxidant activity was assessed by the methods of H2O2 and OH radical removal and reducing power. Antimicrobial potential was evaluated by the broth-microdilution method. Sulfonation resulted in a derivative with DS of 0.24. FT-IR analysis indicated the introduction of sulfonyl groups in the macromolecule structure through specific bands in the regions of 1,240 cm-1 and 810 cm-1. 13C NMR analysis suggested that sulfonation occurred at carbon 2 of the glucose residue. Sulfonation led to morphological changes in the structure of the biopolymer resulting in a heterogeneous structure with the presence of fibrils. Derivatization promoted an increase in the antioxidant ability of the macromolecule, with a high OH removal potential （74.32%）. Bacteriostatic activity against E. coli （Escherichia coli） and S. enterica （Salmonella enterica） typhimurium and fungicidal activity against C. albicans （Candida albicans） and C. tropicalis （Candida tropicalis） were found in the sulfonated sample. Sulfonation potentiated the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the biomacromolecule, suggesting that it is a potentiating mechanism of biological functions.

文摘PGMEA is widely used as a solvent and diluent for photoresists,yet developing an efficient resin that simultaneously resists organic dissolution and removes trace metal ions presents a significant challenge.To overcome this,a novel sulfonated hyper-cross-linked resin(2-CS-DVB-SO_(3)H)was synthesized through a multi-step process involving the preparation of a Cl^(-)functionalized gel polymer,followed by sulfonation and post-crosslinking.The effects of the monomers,crosslinking degree,sulfonation degree,dosage,adsorption temperature,and resin stability on its purity performance were discussed.The resulting resin demonstrated exceptional stability in organic media and effectively purified PGMEA under optimized conditions(30%crosslinking,4.69%S content,and 0.2 g mL^(−1)resin dosage),with Ti,Co,Ni,and Cu metal ion concentrations reduced below 10 ppb.This process elevated PGMEA purity from 98.90%to 99.48%.Thermodynamic analysis revealed the adsorption to be non-spontaneous.The resin maintained chemical stability in PGMEA within 18 h.FT-IR and XPS data identified ion exchange,electrostatic interactions and lone electron pair coordination between sulfonic acid groups and metal ions as the binding mechanisms.The hydrogen bonds formed between Cl−on the resin and hydroxyl groups in methanol(as organic impurities)were considered the primary factor responsible for enhancing the purity of PGMEA.These results collectively establish 2-CS-DVB-SO_(3)H as a robust and reliable material for metal ion removal in PGMEA purification,thereby improving the purity of photoresist solvents and potentially enhancing photoresist performance.

文摘Fabricating a desired porous structure on the surface of biomedical polyetheretherketone(PEEK)implants for enhancing biological functions is crucial and difficult due to its inherent chemical inertness.In this study,a porous surface of PEEK implants was fabricated by controllable sulfonation using gaseous sulfur trioxide(SO3)for different time(5,15,30,60 and 90 min).Micro-topological structure was generated on the surface of sulfonated PEEK implants preserving original mechanical properties.The protein absorption capacity and apatite forming ability was thus improved by the morphological and elemental change with higher degree of sulfonation.In combination of the appropriate micromorphology and bioactive sulfonate components,the cell adhesion,migration,proliferation and extracellular matrix secretion were obviously enhanced by the SPEEK-15 samples which were sulfonated for 15 min.Finding from this study revealed that controllable sulfonation by gaseous SO3 would be an extraordinarily strategy for improving osseointegration of PEEK implants by adjusting the microstructure and chemical composition while maintaining excellent mechanical properties.

文摘It is well‑known that the sulfonation degree(DS)of aromatic syntan is an important factor affecting its retanning performances.But the quantitative relation between DS and syntan property and the influencing mechanism of DS on syntan property are not clarified.In this work,five phenolic formaldehyde syntans(PFSs)with the same polym‑erization degree but varying DS were prepared to investigate the effect of DS on the properties of syntan and crust leather.It was found that the absolute value of zeta potential and the particle size of PFS decreased with increasing DS in aqueous solution.Molecular dynamic simulation results proved that the DS of PFS was a major contributor to electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding in the PFS–water system and greatly affected the aggregation and dispersion of PFS in aqueous solution.The PFS with a low DS was prone to aggregate to large particles in aqueous solution because of low intermolecular electrostatic repulsion and less hydrogen bonds and therefore can be used to increase the thickness and tightness of leather.The PFS with a high DS presented a small particle size with more anionic groups in aqueous solution,thereby sharply decreasing the positive charge of leather surface and facilitat‑ing the penetration of the post‑tanning agents into the leather.These results might be scientifically valid for rational molecular design of syntans and more productive use of syntans in leather making.
文摘To valorize kraft lignin,hydroxymethylation and sulfonation were applied on this under-utilized,but vastly available,material.The hydroxymethylation pretreatment was conducted as means to improve the reactivity of lignin.The sulfonation of hydroxymethylated kraft lignin was investigated by sulfuric acid and sodium sulfite treatments under various conditions.The modified lignin samples were characterized for their charge density,solubility,elemental components,and molecular weights.The results showed that the hydroxymethylation facilitated the sulfonation by sodium sulfite,yielding a product(SSH-lignin)with the charge density of-1.2 meq/g and water solubility of 10 g/L under the conditions of Ns_(2)SO_(3)/lignin molar ratio of 0.49 mol/mol,95℃and 3 h.On the other hand,hydroxymethylation hindered the sulfonation of lignin by sulfuric acid,yielding a product(SAH-lignin)with the charge density of–0.46 meq/g and solubility of 0.9 g/L under the conditions of H_(2)SO_(4)/lignin molar ratio of 14.8 mol/mol,80℃and 1 h.The SSH-lignin had a high adsorption on kaolinite(17 mg/g)at a lignin concentration of 40 g/L.The sulfonated lignins were also found to be effective coagulant for the cationic dye ethyl violet.

文摘Carbon-based solid acids have been successfully employed as acidic catalysts for pollutant mitigation in wastewater.To fully tap the potentials of commercially viable carbons for the preparation of solid acids and enhance their catalytic performances is a challenging problem.In this work,three commercialized carbons including biochar,activated carbon and graphite were preprocessed(ball-milling,Hummer exfoliation,HNO3 soaking,and microwave heating in HNO_(3),etc.),sulfonated,and evaluated as solid-acid catalysts for tylosin mitigation.Graphite-originated solid acid performed the best through a balling-milling preprocess,while biochar-originated solid acids behaved well under all preprocessing treatments,in which 40 mg L^(−1) of tylosin was mitigated within 8 min by 1 g L^(−1) of biochar-originated solid acids.The biochar solid acid through the ball-milling preprocess presented high total acidity and large amounts of-SO_(3)H groups,due to dramatically increased surface area and the rise of activation groups(hydroxyl,alkyl and alkoxy groups,etc.)facilitating electrophilic reaction.In addition,decreased particle size and aromaticity and increased structural defects also contributed.Theoretical calculation of average local ionization energy(ALIE)of condensed aromatic model molecules with substituted activation groups confirmed the promoting effects on sulfonation from strong to weak were 8.40-9.06 eV.These findings have deepened the knowledge in tuning carbon surface chemistry for better sulfonation,thus strengthening catalytic degradation of tylosin.The value of this study is in pulling a clear thread for maneuvering solid-acid catalysts using carbons,which holds a novel promise for rationally functionalizing biochar-based catalysts for the remediation of macrolide antibiotics in polluted water.

文摘To precisely control intrachain π-electron delocalization and interchain interaction simultaneously is the prerequisite to obtain stable and efficient deep-blue light-emitting p-n polymer semiconductors for the polymer light-emitting diodes(PLEDs).Herein,we introduced the steric carbazole-fluorene nanogrid into light-emitting diphenyl sulfone-based p-n polymer semiconductors(PG and PDG) via metal-free C-N coupling polymerization for the fabrication of deep-blue PLEDs.The steric,rigid and twisted configuration between nanogrid and diphenyl sulfone in PG and PDG present the unique characteristic of large steric hindrance interaction to suppress interchain aggregation in solid state.Due to the different length of electron-deficient diphenyl sulfone monomers,PG showed a deep-blue emission with a maximum peak at 428 nm but red-shifted to 480 nm for the PDG films.Interestingly,similar deep-blue emission behavior of PG in diluted non-polar solution and films suggested the extremely weak interchain aggregation.Finally,PLEDs based on PG are fabricated with a stable deep-blue emission of CIE(0.15,0.10),and corresponding EL spectral profile is also completely identical to PL ones of diluted solution,revealed the intrachain emission without obvious interchain excited state,confirmed effectiveness of the steric hindrance functionalization of nanogrid in p-n polymer semiconductor for deep-blue light-emitting organic optoelectronics.

文摘Modular free-assembly construction of mono-,di-,and tri-fluoromethyl sulfones was comprehensively achieved by a combination of halides,a sulfur dioxide surrogate,and halofluorocarbons.The industrial raw material thiourea dioxide served as the sulfur dioxide source,combined with readily available fluorocarbon sources such as 2-bromo-2-fluoroacetate and chlorodifluoromethane(ClCF_(2)H,Freon)employed as fluoromethyl reagents.Notably,four methyl sulfone-containing pharmaceuticals were modified into three types of fluoromethyl sulfones,displaying their great potential for drug discovery via the current strategy.Mechanistic studies further demonstrated that C-F…H-N interactions between thiourea dioxide and halofluorocarbons play a key role in stabilizing monofluoromethyl electrophiles and difluorocarbene species.

文摘The sulfonated poly(α-methyl styrene-b-isobutylene-b-α-methyl styrene)copolymers(S-ASIBS)with the average molar percentage of sulfonic acid(-SO_(3)H)groups(SP)ranging from 3.6 mol%to 14.3 mol%could be synthesized by sulfonation of ASIBS with acetyl sulfate.The hydrophilic ionic channels were generated for proton exchange membranes(PEMs)by ion aggregation of-SO_(3)H groups and microphase separation between hydrophobic polyisobutylene and hydrophilic sulfonated poly(α-methyl styrene)segments in S-ASIBS.The proton transport ability was improved while oxidative stability was decreased by increasing SP in S-ASIBS.The appropriate SP of about 12.7 mol%in S-ASIBS provides the available PEMs with high proton transport ability,low methanol permeability and good oxidative stability.The absence of active tertiary hydrogen atoms along S-ASIBS copolymer chains avoids their attack by peroxy radicals.The residual rates of weight(RW)and proton conductivity(Rσ)of S-ASIBS-12.7 membrane after oxidation treatment for 916 h were 84.3%and 88.1%respectively,near to those of commercial Nafion 117(RW=87.9%,Rσ=90.3%).The membrane electrode assembly(MEA)could be prepared by using various S-ASIBS as PEMs for direct methanol fuel cell.The single cell with S-ASIBS-12.7 MEA behaves high performance of open circuit voltage(OCV)of 548 mV and peak power density(Pmax)of 36.1 mW·cm^(-2),which is similar to those of Nafion 117(OCV=506 mV,P_(max)=35.6 mW·cm^(-2)).To the best of our knowledge,this is the first example of advanced S-ASIBS membrane with high proton conductivity,excellent fuel barrier property and remarkable oxidative stability for promising PEMs.

文摘Andrographolide sulfonate(AS)is a sulfonated derivative of andrographolide extracted from Andrographis paniculata(Burm.f.)Nees,and has been approved for several decades in China.The present study aimed to investigate the novel therapeutic application and possible mechanisms of AS in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.Results indicated that administration of AS by injection or gavage significantly reduced the paw swelling,improved body weights,and attenuated pathological changes in joints of rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis.Additionally,the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),and IL-1β in the serum and ankle joints were reduced.Bioinformatics analysis,along with the spleen index and measurements of IL-17 and IL-10 levels,suggested a potential relationship between AS and Th17 cells under arthritic conditions.In vitro,AS was shown to block Th17 cell differentiation,as evidenced by the reduced percentages of CD4^(+)IL-17A^(+)T cells and decreased expression levels of RORγt,IL-17A,IL-17F,IL-21,and IL-22,without affecting the cell viability and apoptosis.This effect was attributed to the limited glycolysis,as indicated by metabolomics analysis,reduced glucose uptake,and p H measurements.Further investigation revealed that AS might bind to hexokinase2(HK2)to down-regulate the protein levels of HK2 but not glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(GAPDH)or pyruvate kinase M2(PKM2),and overexpression of HK2 reversed the inhibition of AS on Th17 cell differentiation.Furthermore,AS impaired the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)signals in vivo and in vitro,which was abolished by the addition of lactate.In conclusion,AS significantly improved adjuvant-induced arthritis(AIA)in rats by inhibiting glycolysis-mediated activation of PI3K/AKT to restrain Th17 cell differentiation.

文摘Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances(PFAS)are persistent environmental contaminants that often show an adverse impact on human health.Rational design of porous adsorbents for selective and reversible removal of PFAS,such as perfluorooctane sulfonate(PFOS),is imperative and challenging.Herein,a Janus strategy based on an ionic covalent organic framework(iCOF-DGCl)composed of the alternately hydrophobic aromatic domains and hydrophilic guanidinium moieites has been proposed to meet the requirement of high-performance adsorbents.iCOF-DGCl shows fast adsorption kinetics(970.9 mg g^(−1)min^(−1))and ultrahigh uptake capacity(2491 mg g^(−1))toward PFOS,making it one of the most effective materials among the reported PFOS adsorbents.Moreover,the PFOS removal by iCOF-DGCl remains highly selective in the presence of disturbing anions,and the adsorbent could be well recovered for reuse.Mechanism studies have demonstrated that the Janus structure units of iCOF-DGCl form both hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions with the amphiphilic PFOS,thus achieving cooperative adsorption of PFOS.This work provides a facile approach based on Janus structure of COFs adsorbent for wastewater remediation.
