By comparing the active center, catalytic performance of the Zn-Co（Ⅲ） DMCC（and other catalysts） with HCAII enzyme in the organism for activating CO2（COS and CS2）, we proposed that the metal-hydroxide bond（M-OH）, which is the real catalytic center of human carbonic anhydride Ⅱ（HCAⅡ）, is also the catalytic（initiating） center for the copolymerization. It accelerates the copolymerization and forms a closed catalytic cycle through the chain transfer reaction to water（and thus strictly meets the definition of the catalyst）. In addition, the metal-hydroxide bond catalysis could well explain the oxygen/sulfur exchange reaction（O/S ER） in metal（Zn, Cr）-catalyzed copolymerization of COS（and CS2） with epoxides. Therefore, it is very promising to learn from HCAⅡ enzyme to develop biomimetic catalyst for highly active CO2/epoxide copolymerization in a well-controlled manner under mild conditions.展开更多

Here we re-investigate radical polymerization of monovinyl monomer(MVM) initiated by uniform branched polyfunctional initiator(PFI), which is termed non-linear radical additions-coupling polymerization(NLRAs CP). In NLRAs CP, both addition and coupling reactions of radical contribute to the construction of the polymer chains, which leads to continuous growth of branch topology. Theoretical analysis of NLRAs CP predicts that the gelation is determined by the functionality of PFI(a), the extent of initiation of the PFI(q) and the termination factor of radical(φ). NLRAs CPs of styrene and methyl methacrylate promoted by Cu(0)/MeTREN or Mn_(2)(CO)_(10)/visible light were conducted. After the cleavage of incorporated PFI fragment or junctions in the network, the network was transformed to linear chains having almost the same structure as segmental chains in the precursor network. This allows the reverse deducing the network structure from its cleaved products. It has been proven that NLRAs CP includes stepwise initiation of PFI, chain-growth of segmental chains and successive endlinking of macroradicals derived from PFI. The three parameters related to the gelation process, a, q and φ, were adjusted via binary PFI, the feed ratio of [Mn_(2)(CO)_(10)]/[PFI] and addition of non-homopolymerizable comonomer respectively. The minimum values of a and q, and the minimum amount of comonomer required for gelation were determined,which can be applied to estimate φ of various macroradicals. NLRAs CP opens a general and facile strategy for synthesis of a variety of polymer networks with heritable architecture by one-pot polymerization of various MVMs.展开更多

Since they are primary planned for fuels, energy required to separate these alcohols should be considered in evaluating the potential of a separation technology. A membrane-based process, pervaporation, is of special interest because of its environmental friendliness and easy integrating character. This review probes into the fundamentals of pervaporation especially in terms of the heat required for evaporation. Meanwhile, the separation data of the most representative alcohol-selective pervaporation membranes reported in the literatures are collected and compared with the vapor–liquid equilibrium curve, which represents the distillation selectivity. They include:inorganic membranes, silicon rubber based membranes, Mixed Matrix Membranes and some other special materials. By doing so, the status of alcohol recovery via pervaporation would be more clear for researchers.For ethanol recovery, it is selectivity rather than flux that is in urgent need of solution. While for butanol recovery,membranes with satisfactory selectivity have been developed, increasing the separation capacity would be more pressing.展开更多

文摘A series of 'liquid crystal polymers with two-dimensional mesogeuic units' were synthesized by the polycondensations of the monomer 2, 5-dihydroxybenzylidene-4-phenetidine with a diacid chloride selected from a series of α, ω-bis(4-chloroformylphenyloxy)carbonylalkues. This is the first series of polymers reported under the newly proposed concept 'liquid crystal polymers with two dimensional mesogenic units'.
文摘Two kinds of 1,4-anhydroribose derivatives,1,4-anhydro-2,3-O-benzylidene-T-D-ribopyranose(ABRP)and 1,4-anhydro-2,3-O-isopropylidene-T-D-ribopyranose(AIRP)were prepared fromD-ribose.The ringopening copolymerizations of ABRP and AIRP in various feed ratios were carried out with SbCl_5 and BF_3OEt_2 as catalyst at low temperatures.The copolymer structure was characterized by means of ^(1)H,^(13)C NMR spectroscopy and specific rotation.When SbCl_(5)was used as catalyst,the copolymer obtained had completely 1,4-β-pyranosidic structure,i.e.,cellulosetype structure.However,when BF_(3)OEt_2 was used as catalyst,the copolymer had a mixed structure of furanosidic and pyranosidic units.

文摘The general characteristics of the active center of the catalysts（including zinc-cobalt（III） double metal cyanide complex [Zn-Co（Ⅲ） DMCC]） for the copolymerization reaction of carbon dioxide（CO2） with epoxide are summarized. By comparing the active center, catalytic performance of the Zn-Co（Ⅲ） DMCC（and other catalysts） with HCAII enzyme in the organism for activating CO2（COS and CS2）, we proposed that the metal-hydroxide bond（M-OH）, which is the real catalytic center of human carbonic anhydride Ⅱ（HCAⅡ）, is also the catalytic（initiating） center for the copolymerization. It accelerates the copolymerization and forms a closed catalytic cycle through the chain transfer reaction to water（and thus strictly meets the definition of the catalyst）. In addition, the metal-hydroxide bond catalysis could well explain the oxygen/sulfur exchange reaction（O/S ER） in metal（Zn, Cr）-catalyzed copolymerization of COS（and CS2） with epoxides. Therefore, it is very promising to learn from HCAⅡ enzyme to develop biomimetic catalyst for highly active CO2/epoxide copolymerization in a well-controlled manner under mild conditions.

文摘A series of linear poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(4-vinylbenzyl chloride)-b-poly(4-tert-butylstyrene)(PEO_(113)-b-PVBC_(130)-b-Pt BS_(x)or E_(113)V_(130)T_(x))triblock terpolymers with various lengths x(=20,33,66,104,215)of Pt BS block were synthesized via a two-step reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT)polymerization.The E_(113)V_(130)T_(x)triblock terpolymers were non-crystalline because the PVBC and Pt BS blocks strongly hindered the crystallization of PEO block.The effects of Pt BS block length x on the phase structures of E_(113)V_(130)T_(x)triblock terpolymers were investigated by combined techniques of small-angle X-ray scattering(SAXS)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).It was found that with increasing x from20 to 215,the phase structure of E_(113)V_(130)T_(x)triblock terpolymers became more ordered and changed from disordered structure,hexagonally-packed cylinder(HEX),hexagonally perforated layer(HPL),to lamellar(LAM)phase structures.Temperature-variable SAXS measurements showed that the HEX,HPL and LAM phase structures obtained for E_(113)V_(130)T_(66),E_(113)V_(130)T_(104)and E_(113)V_(130)T_(215)by thermal annealing,respectively,were thermodynamically stable in the temperature range of 30-170℃.
文摘Exploring new polymerization strategy for current available monomers is a big challenge in polymer science. Here we re-investigate radical polymerization of monovinyl monomer(MVM) initiated by uniform branched polyfunctional initiator(PFI), which is termed non-linear radical additions-coupling polymerization(NLRAs CP). In NLRAs CP, both addition and coupling reactions of radical contribute to the construction of the polymer chains, which leads to continuous growth of branch topology. Theoretical analysis of NLRAs CP predicts that the gelation is determined by the functionality of PFI(a), the extent of initiation of the PFI(q) and the termination factor of radical(φ). NLRAs CPs of styrene and methyl methacrylate promoted by Cu(0)/MeTREN or Mn_(2)(CO)_(10)/visible light were conducted. After the cleavage of incorporated PFI fragment or junctions in the network, the network was transformed to linear chains having almost the same structure as segmental chains in the precursor network. This allows the reverse deducing the network structure from its cleaved products. It has been proven that NLRAs CP includes stepwise initiation of PFI, chain-growth of segmental chains and successive endlinking of macroradicals derived from PFI. The three parameters related to the gelation process, a, q and φ, were adjusted via binary PFI, the feed ratio of [Mn_(2)(CO)_(10)]/[PFI] and addition of non-homopolymerizable comonomer respectively. The minimum values of a and q, and the minimum amount of comonomer required for gelation were determined,which can be applied to estimate φ of various macroradicals. NLRAs CP opens a general and facile strategy for synthesis of a variety of polymer networks with heritable architecture by one-pot polymerization of various MVMs.
文摘Two conjugated polymers(PulDTBD and PulDTQ)with un symmetric side chai ns have been prepared for polymer solar cells using two other polymers(PIDTBD and PIDTQ)with symmetric side chains as control compounds.The combi nation of methyl a nd 4-hexylphenyl side chai ns on the same bridged carb on can en sure good solubility,decrease tt-tt stacking dista nces,and bring proper miscibility with PC71BM simultaneously.Therefore,the corresp on ding polymer solar cells(PSCs)based on donor polymers with un symmetric side chains exhibited enhanced short-circuit current density(■)and power conversion efficiency(PCE)compared with those of control polymers.The PIDTBD and PIDTQ based devices possessed low PCE of 2.13%and 1.48%,while PCEs of devices based on PulDTBD and PulDTQ were improved to 3.93%and 4.12%,respectively.The results demonstrate that unsymmetric side chain engineering of conjugated polymers is an effective approach to achieve high performance PSCs.

文摘Toughening the petroleum-based epoxy resin blends with bio-based modifiers without compromising their modulus,mechanical strength,and other properties is still a big challenge in view of the sustainability.In this study,a bio-based liquid crystal epoxy resin(THMT-E P)with an s-triazine ring structure was utilized to modify a petroleum-based bisphenol A epoxy resin(E51)with 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone(DDS)as a curing agent,and the blended systems were evaluated for their thermal stability,mechanical properties,and flame retardancy.The results showed that the impact strength of the blended system initially increased and then decreased with the increase in THMT-EP content,and it reached the a maximum value of 26.5 kJ/m^(2)when the THMT-EP content was 5%,which was 31.2%higher than that of E51/DDS.Notably,the flexural strength,modulus,and glass transition tem perature of the blended system were all simultaneously improved with the addition of THMT-EP.At the same time,the addition of THMT-EP enhanced the flame retardancy of the system by increasing the char yield at 700℃and decreasing the peak heat release rate and total heat release rate.This work paves the way for a more sustainable improvement in the comprehensive performance of epoxy resin.

文摘Bio-based epoxy thermoset prepared from renewable biomass raw materials can alleviate fossil energy crisis and reduce environmental pollution,which satisfies the needs of sustainable social development.In this study,a bio-based epoxy thermoset precursor(MGOL-EP) was synthesized from a naturally occurring magnolol through a facile and efficient one-step process.And the fully bio-based epoxy thermoset(MGOL-EP-SC) was obtained by self-curing without adding any other hardener.MGOL-EP-SC revealed an extremely high glass-transition temperature(T_(g)) of 265℃ and char yield of 53.2%(in N;),which were at the highest level among the fully bio-based epoxy thermosets reported so far.In addition,when the MGOL-EP was cured with 4,4’-methylenedianiline(DDM),T_(g)of the MGOL-EP/DDM was decreased by 61℃ and the other comprehensive performance had also been decreased,which was due to a reduction in biphenyl structure content and cross-linking density by adding the external curing agents.Moreover,the MGOL-EP-SC presented certain killing rate(48.4%) to Staphylococcus aureus.These findings provide a new design strategy for engineering high-performance and functional epoxy thermoset with high biomass content.

文摘Recovering alcohols from dilute fermentation broth is an emergent task in bio-fuel production process. Since they are primary planned for fuels, energy required to separate these alcohols should be considered in evaluating the potential of a separation technology. A membrane-based process, pervaporation, is of special interest because of its environmental friendliness and easy integrating character. This review probes into the fundamentals of pervaporation especially in terms of the heat required for evaporation. Meanwhile, the separation data of the most representative alcohol-selective pervaporation membranes reported in the literatures are collected and compared with the vapor–liquid equilibrium curve, which represents the distillation selectivity. They include:inorganic membranes, silicon rubber based membranes, Mixed Matrix Membranes and some other special materials. By doing so, the status of alcohol recovery via pervaporation would be more clear for researchers.For ethanol recovery, it is selectivity rather than flux that is in urgent need of solution. While for butanol recovery,membranes with satisfactory selectivity have been developed, increasing the separation capacity would be more pressing.

文摘It is still a great challenge to mimic the structure and function of natural rubber by introducing polar components into synthetic polyisoprene.In order to explore the function of phosphate groups on the mechanical properties of polyisoprene rubber,a terminally functionalized compound(PIP-P)containing phosphate groups was synthesized and further vulcanized to prepare the model compound V-PIP-P.Through analyzing the test results,it was found that these phosphate groups formed polar aggregates in non-polar polyisoprene rubber matrix,serving as an additional dynamic cross-linking sites,which increases the cross-linking density and improves mechanical properties.The influence of the phosphate groups on the strain-induced crystallization(SIC)was further investigated via synchrotron wide-angle X-ray diffraction(WAXD)experiment.These phosphate group aggregates not only reduced the onset strain of SIC,but also slowed down the molecular chain mobility,which hinder the crystal lateral growth.The above results help us to gain a deeper understanding for the function of phosphate groups in the formation of"naturally occurring network"and guide the molecular design of next generation polyisoprene rubber.

文摘Environmental economics is accelerating the urgency to develop recycling technologies for the ever-growing quantity of discarded thermoset polymers.Herein,we developed a mild and energy-saving pro-cess for high-eficiency degradation and reuse of anhydride-cured epoxy thermoset with the aid of hy-drazine hydrate.The degradation degree of the epoxy resin reached 99.6%at 120℃ within a short time of 60min.During the reaction,the ester bonds in the cross-linked network were selectively cleaved by the amination of hydrazine hydrate,and the epoxy resin was fully converted to new monomers that con-tained hydrazide and hydroxyl groups,respectively.Moreover,the degradation mechanism of the epoxy resin in hydrazine hydrate was studied and a nucleation model was utilized to predict the actual degra-dation behavior of the system.Finally,the degradation products can be directly mixed with epoxy precur-sor to prepare a new waterborne epoxy coating with good comprehensive properties.This work not only demonstrates a new way to realize the efficient degradation of epoxy resins,but also provides a facile and efficient recycling protocol for thermosets.
