A series of subphthalocyanines with different substituents (RPhO-BSubPc(COOCH 3 ) 3 ) have been synthesized and used as catalysts to catalyze lithium/thionyl chloride (Li/SOCl 2 ) battery. All the compounds are structurally characterized by IR, UV, and element analysis. After adding RPhO-BSubPc(COOCH 3 ) 3 into the battery’s electrolyte, the energy and the capacity of the battery are increased by approximately 3.27–40.6 and 10.9–53.2 % than that of the battery in the absence of them. In addition, a three-step hypothetical mechanism is figured out to explain the complex catalytic process. By comparing the images of SEM, it is found that the addition of catalysts makes the lithium chloride layer looser, which is conducive to the transfer of electrons. Moreover, the hypothetical mechanism is confirmed by the results of cyclic voltammetry.

A facile one-pot approach for synthesis of gold nanoparticles with narrow size distribution and good stability was presented by reducing chloroauric acid with a polysaccharide, konjac glucomannan (KGM) in alkaline solution, which is green and economically viable. Here, KGM served both as reducing agent and stabilizer. The effects of KGM on the formation and stabilization of as-synthesized gold nanoparticles were studied systematically by a combination of UV-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, the gold nanoparticles exhibited a notable catalytic activity toward the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol.

Burkholderia sp. EG13 with high ethylene glycol-oxidizing activity was isolated from soil, which could be used for the synthesis of glycolic acid from the oxidation of ethylene glycol. Using the resting cells of Burkholderia sp. EG13 as biocatalysts, the optimum reaction temperature and pH were 30 °C and 6.0, respectively. After 24 h of biotransformation, the yield of glycolic acid from 200 mM ethylene glycol was 98.8 %. Furthermore, an integrated bioprocess for the production of glycolic acid which involved in situ product removal (ISPR) was investigated. Using fed-batch method with ISPR, a total of 793 mM glycolic acid has been accumulated in the reaction mixture after the 4th feed.

A glassy carbon electrode was modified with β-manganese dioxide (β-MnO 2 ), and glucose oxidase (GOx) was immobilized on its surface. The β-MnO 2 nanowires were prepared by a hydrothermal method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. They were then dispersed in Nafion solution and cast on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to form an electrode modified with β-MnO 2 nanowires that exhibits improved sensitivity toward hydrogen peroxide. If GOx is immobilized in the surface, the β-MnO 2 acts as a mediator, and Nafion as a polymer backbone. The fabrication process was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and the sensor and its materials were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The biosensor enables amperometric detection of glucose with a sensitivity of 38.2 μA · mM −1 · cm −2 , and a response time of < 5 s. This study also demonstrates the feasibility of realizing inexpensive, reliable, and high-performance biosensors using MnO 2 nanowires.
The sensitive determination of glucose was realized at a β-MnO 2 NWs modified glassy carbon electrode by amperometry. The relatively fast, reproducible and low-cost manufacturing procedure suggests that it can offer an excellent platform for glucose oxidase-biosensing applications.

Kapok fiber, a natural hollow fiber with thin shell and large cavity, has rarely been used as adsorbent for heavy metal ions. In this paper, kapok fibers were modified with diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) after hydrophilicity treatment. The adsorption behavior of the resultant kapok-DTPA influenced by pH, adsorption time and initial concentration of metal ion was investigated. The results demonstrate that adsorption equilibrium was reached within 2 min for Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ . Adsorption kinetics showed that the adsorption rate was well fitted by pseudo-second-order rate model. The adsorption isotherms were studied, and the best fit was obtained in the Langmuir model. The maximum adsorption capacities of kapok-DTPA were 310.6 mg g −1 for Pb 2+ , 163.7 mg g −1 for Cd 2+ , 101.0 mg g −1 for Cu 2+ , respectively. After eight desorption and re-adsorption loops, the lost adsorption capacities for Pb 2+ and Cu 2+ were less than 10 %. Because of the large specific area derived from the hollow fiber structure, kapok-DTPA exhibited much better adsorption capacity compared with many other reported adsorbents based on natural materials.

Purpose To investigate the multivalent effect for up-regulating the intracerebral delivery of nanoparticles via receptor-mediated transcytosis. Methods Nanoparticles labeled with near-infrared (NIR) fluorophore and different numbers of angiopep-2 peptides that specifically target low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) on the brain capillary endothelial cells were developed. Bio-distribution studies quantified the intracerebral uptakes of these nanoparticles at 2 and 24 h after intravenous injection. In vivo NIR fluorescence imaging, ex vivo autoradiographic imaging and 3D reconstructed NIR fluorescence imaging revealed the nanoparticle distribution pattern in brain. Fluorescence microscopic imaging identified the nanoparticle locations at the cellular level. Results The multimetirc association between the angiopep-2 peptides labeled on the nanoparticle and the LRP receptors on the brain capillary endothelial cells significantly increased the intracerebral uptake of the nanoparticles. Nanoparticle Den-Angio4 labeled four angiopep-2 peptides achieved the highest BBB traverse efficacy. After penetrating the BBB, Den-Angio4 distributed heterogeneously and mainly located at hippocampus, striatum and cerebellum in the brains. Conclusions The multivalent effect significantly enhances the BBB permeability of nanoparticles. Den-Angio4 as a nanoparticle prototype provides a two order targeted strategy for diagnosis or treatment of central nerver system diseases by first traversing the BBB via receptor-mediated endocytosis and secondly targeting the leisions with high receptor expression level.

Two novel epoxy resins; namely, R1 and R2 were synthesized and characterized. These two resins were isomers and both contained naphthalene units and two symmetric flexible aliphatic ester chains terminated by epoxy groups. To investigate the influence of different structural isomers on the performance of these epoxy resins, they were both cured with various curing agents which results in the choosing of 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) as the optimized curing agent. The curing technical temperature was obtained from extrapolated plots of T– β curve at different heating rates. The kinetic parameters, the activation energy ( E
a ) and the reaction order ( n ) were deduced by Kissnger’s isoconversional method and Crane equation. The moisture absorption and mechanical and thermal properties of the cured epoxy resins were investigated. Experimental results indicated that the R1/DDM and R2/DDM epoxy resins displayed improved mechanical performance without significant decrease in their important inherent properties, e.g., temperature of glass transition ( T
g ), moisture absorption and thermal properties when compared with the corresponding commercial biphenyl-type epoxy resins. The average inter-segment distances in R1/DDM and R2/DDM systems were 4.46 and 4.88 Å, respectively, which were measured by wide-angle X-ray diffraction. The result showed R1/DDM (1,5-di-substituted) was strongly hindered in comparison with R2/DDM (2,7-di-substituted) and E
a and T
g values of the R1/DDM were slightly higher than those of R2/DDM. Furthermore, mechanical properties and moisture absorption of the R1/DDM were lower than those of R2/DDM. Nevertheless, the position of the substituent only weakly affected the thermal properties and the reaction order ( n ).

Poly( N -arylenebenzimidazole ketone ketone)s (PNABIKKs) consisting of m - and p -phenylene linkages have been synthesized by nucleophilic aromatic substitution from bis(benzimidazolyl) derivatives containing sulfonyl, carbonyl, and ether groups with activated aromatic difluorides in sulfolane at 210 °C in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate. The structures of the polymers were characterized by means of Fourier tramsfom infrared (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis, and the results were largely consistent with the proposed structure. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) measurements demonstrated that polymers had high glass transition temperatures ( T
g
>220 °C) and good thermal stability with high decomposition temperatures ( T
D
>480 °C). These novel polymers also showed good solubility.

Control of dimensional stability is crucial for using electrospun membranes in biomedical and tissue engineering applications. In this study, the contraction of electrospun membranes of poly( l -lactide-co-glycolide) (PLLGA) after stretch was investigated. Then, by adding PLLGA-b-polyethylene glycol (PLLGA-PEG), the contraction of the membranes was controlled. In addition, the mechanical properties of the membranes were investigated. On the basis of the strain–stress behavior of the membranes, an elongation of 50 % was used to investigate the orientation degrees of the membrane fibers. On the basis of the morphology of the stretched membranes, the contraction was found to depend on the orientation degree of fibers after stretch. A linear relationship between the contraction and degree of orientation after stretch was confirmed. Two-dimensional fast Fourier transform (2D FFT) analysis of the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the membranes was used to quantify the orientation degree. It was surmised that the different orientation degrees were responsible for the different morphologies and thermal behaviors of the membranes.

A series of novel copolymers were successfully synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of 3(S)-methyl-morpholine-2,5-dione (MMD) and 5-methyl-5-benzyloxycarbonyl-1,3-dioxan-2-one (MBC) using stannous octoate as catalyst. The copolymers were characterized by means of 1H-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) test shows that the average-number relative molecular mass and average-weight relative molecular mass slightly increase with the increase of MBC content in feed. The results of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) demonstrate that the glass transition temperature of copolymers increases with the increase of MBC content in copolymers. The copolymers of MMD and MBC are amorphous copolymers, as indicated by DSC results, while the homopolymer of MMD is semicrystalline.

Poplar wood flour, a low-cost and abundantly available material, was modified by grafting β -cyclodextrin ( β -CD) in the presence of citric acid or 1,2,3,4-Butanetetracarboxylic acid, aiming to expand the application of wood flour. The products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the technique of phenolphthalein probe. The grafting conditions of β -CD onto wood flour including curing temperature, β -CD concentration in impregnation solution and catalyst were also evaluated by the technique of phenolphthalein probe. Besides, eugenol (EG), an antibacterial fragrant guest molecule, was loaded on the modified wood flour by lyophilization, and its release characteristics were investigated by Thermo-gravimetric. The results revealed that the modified wood flour material had a thermo-protective effect on the volatilization of EG and the encapsulated EG content was reached to 1.31 %, which could demonstrate a potential application in the finishing and packing areas.
