热扩散法制备MoO3/SiO2催化草酸二甲酯和苯酚酯交换反应

采用热扩散法（TS）和等体积浸渍法制备了MoO₃/SiO₂催化剂用于草酸二甲酯和苯酚酯交换反应.结果表明,热扩散法制备的10%MoO₃/SiO₂-TS催化剂较等体积浸渍法制备的10%MoO₃/SiO₂-C催化剂具有更好的催化性能.运用X射线衍射、Raman光谱、X射线光电子能谱分析、吡啶吸附红外光谱、NH₃程序升温脱附等手段对催化剂进行了表征,发现虽然两种方法制备的催化剂都只有弱Lewis酸中心,钼均以氧化钼单体形式存在,未形成解离和聚合,但是10%MoO₃/SiO₂-TS催化剂较10%MoO₃/SiO₂-C催化剂表面钼含量更高且MoO₃分散得更好.在苯酚用量为0.2mol,10%MoO₃/SiO₂-TS催化剂用量为1.2g,反应温度为180℃,草酸二甲酯与苯酚的摩尔比为2,反应时间为4h的优化条件下,苯酚转化率可达70.9%,甲基苯基草酸酯和草酸二苯酯的收率分别达63.1%和7.7%.

Self-assembly behavior of copolymers with super segregated structure containing fluorinated segments

Copolymers with super segregated structure of hydrophilic methoxy poly（ethylene glycol） （mPEG） and fluorophilic poly（1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl acrylate） （PFA） were prepared. And just because of this super segregated structure which was resulted from the extremely strong incompatibility between the two blocks, several interesting self- assembly behaviors of the copolymers were displayed and studied under different conditions. Transmission electron microscope （TEM） showed that with the increase of PFA in the polymerization system, the incompatibility in this super segregated structure became stronger, and the self-assembly behavior changed from ball-like or rod-like to vesicles, and finally collapsed to sheet-like. The self-assembly behavior changed likewise when the initial concentration increased. And the interesting formation of these barrel-like and spindle-like vesicles was finally studied with different cooling speeds. It＇s finally found that with this super segregation structure, these new self-assembly morphology might be formed due to the extremely strong incompatibility between mPEG and PFA segments.     

Enhanced Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Palm Pressed Fiber Based on the Three Main Components: Cellulose,Hemicellulose, and Lignin

The enzymatic hydrolysis of the native and the pretreated palm pressed fiber (PPF) was deeply investigated by using the enzyme cocktail ACCELLERASE 1500. Together with the spent PPF from the first hydrolysis and the further doubly-treated PPF, the proportions of three main components were determined and analyzed based on a triangle figure. The proportion (cellulose/hemicelluloses/lignin) in the spent PPF was equal to 44:23:33 and the surface morphology of the spent PPF looks very similar to the native PPF surface showing poor hydrolysis efficiency. After further double treatment, the proportion was changed evidently from the original 44:23:33 to 54:21:25 and the surface structure was significantly disrupted showing a potential to be hydrolyzed completely. Additionally, all samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffractogram through considerations of alkaline solution treatment, so as to understand better the nature of biomass hydrolysis, from the aspect of three biomass components.     

Cross-linked starch nanoparticles stabilized Pickering emulsion polymerization of styrene in w/o/w system

Here, we present a method to synthesize expandable spherical polystyrene beads containing well-dispersed water microdroplets. The beads, 2–3 mm in diameter, were prepared through surfactant-free Pickering emulsion polymerization in water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) system using cross-linked starch nanoparticles (CSTN) as emulsifier. The CSTNs were in situ surface-modified by styrene maleic anhydride copolymer as confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and contact angle analysis. The entrapped water microdroplets with the average size of 3–4 μm were shown to be surrounded by a dense layer of the CSTN. The number droplet density as well as water encapsulation efficiency in the polystyrene beads increased with the CSTN concentration. Furthermore, regardless of CSTN content, all samples exhibited high encapsulation stability of over 68 % after 3 months. These characteristics along with good expansion behavior suggest the synthesized beads as expandable polystyrene containing water as a green blowing agent.

基于石墨烯修饰电极的电化学生物传感

石墨烯是一种具有单原子厚度的二维碳纳米材料,具有大的比表面积、高的导电性和室温电子迁移率,以及优异的机械力学性能.石墨烯还具有电化学窗口宽,电化学稳定性好,电荷传递电阻小,电催化活性高和电子转移速率快等电化学特性.化学修饰石墨烯,特别是氧化石墨烯(GO)和还原氧化石墨烯(rGO),可以被宏量、廉价地制备出来.它们具有可加工性能,可以被组装、加工或复合成具有可控组成和微结构的宏观电极材料.因此,石墨烯及其化学修饰衍生物是用于电化学生物传感的独特而诱人的电极材料.例如,GO是一种化学修饰石墨烯,也是石墨烯的重要前驱体;其边缘具有大量的羧基可用于共价固定酶,从而能实现酶电极的生物检测.在GO上的不可逆蛋白吸附也可以促进蛋白质的直接电子转移以提高其电化学检测性能.但是,GO大量的含氧官能团破坏了石墨烯本征的共轭结构,降低了其电学性能并限制了其实际应用.GO可以通过化学、电化学、热还原等技术转化成rGO,从而能部分修复其共轭结构,提高其导电性与传感性能.另一方面,石墨烯是一种零带隙材料;原子掺杂可以调控其能带结构,提高其电催化性能.石墨烯材料也常常需要通过与其它功能材料的复合进一步改善其可分散与可加工性能,提高其电催化活性和电化学选择性.本文综述了本征石墨烯(包括GO,rGO和掺杂石墨烯)以及石墨烯与生物分子、高分子、离子液体、金属或金属氧化物纳米粒子等复合材料修饰电极在检测各种生物分子方面的研究进展,并对该研究领域进行了展望.     

Blind prediction of HIV integrase binding from the SAMPL4 challenge

Here, we give an overview of the protein-ligand binding portion of the Statistical Assessment of Modeling of Proteins and Ligands 4 (SAMPL4) challenge, which focused on predicting binding of HIV integrase inhibitors in the catalytic core domain. The challenge encompassed three components—a small “virtual screening” challenge, a binding mode prediction component, and a small affinity prediction component. Here, we give summary results and statistics concerning the performance of all submissions at each of these challenges. Virtual screening was particularly challenging here in part because, in contrast to more typical virtual screening test sets, the inactive compounds were tested because they were thought to be likely binders, so only the very top predictions performed significantly better than random. Pose prediction was also quite challenging, in part because inhibitors in the set bind to three different sites, so even identifying the correct binding site was challenging. Still, the best methods managed low root mean squared deviation predictions in many cases. Here, we give an overview of results, highlight some features of methods which worked particularly well, and refer the interested reader to papers in this issue which describe specific submissions for additional details.
