Al 2 O 3 /SiC ceramic composites with different SiC contents have been prepared by powder metallurgy at 1600 °C for 120 min at 30 MPa pressure. The effect of second phase particles on the microstructure and mechanical properties of composites have been studied. The results show that SiC particle has a significant impact on the matrix subjected to residual stress, and on the microstructure of the composites as well. The average grain size of alumina matrix decreases as the SiC particle content increases. Simultaneously, it has been found that the mechanical properties of the material are significantly enhanced in comparison with monolithic Al 2 O 3 . The highest strength and toughness are obtained when the SiC content is 15 vol%, and the values are 1237 MPa and 5.68 MPa m 1/2 , respectively. The mechanisms of strengthening and toughening have been discussed.

An amphiphilic amino resorcinarene (T) was modified onto the surface of graphene oxide (GO) through covalent bond forces and non-covalent bond forces to prepare GO–T. The water-soluble graphene–T (GN–T) composite was prepared by the reduction of GO–T. Then, pre-prepared platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) and different sized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) could self-assemble onto the surface of GN–T through the plentiful amido groups of T to obtain GN–T–AuNPs and GN–T–PtNPs hybrid materials. It was verified that the AuNPs and PtNPs could be uniformly scattered on GN and the amount of AuNPs and PtNPs modified on GN could be adjusted by changing the weight ratio of T/GO. GN-T-PtNPs and GN-T-AuNPs composites showed the characteristics of being dispersible, stable and recyclable in water. Electrochemical results obviously revealed that GN–T–AuNPs and GN–T–PtNPs composites exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic properties.

YSZ-based mixed-potential sensors with double-sensing electrodes were fabricated for ammonia (NH 3 ) detection. ZnO and LaCoO 3 nanoparticles prepared by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) method were used as the sensing materials. The sensing responses of ZnO and LaCoO 3 sensing electrodes can be overlapped based on the double-sensing-electrode structure, thereby significantly enhancing the sensitivity compared with the traditional mixed-potential sensors using Pt reference electrode. The sensitivities of this sensor reached up to -102.85, -75.312, -70.165, -48.616 mV/decade to 10–50 ppm NH 3 at 450, 475, 500, 525 ℃ , respectively. Moreover, the NO 2 interference effects on NH 3 detection of ZnO and LaCoO 3 electrodes were opposite and can be counteracted based on the double-sensing-electrode structure, eliminating most of the cross-sensitivity to NO 2 . The double-sensing-electrode sensor exhibited good performance under CO, CH 4 , NO, NO 2 interference, oxygen fluctuation, and humidity variations, and showed good long-term stability. The results of sensing performance exhibited the sensors with double-sensing electrodes have a great potential for application on SCR system of diesel engines. In further studies, each sensing electrode can be optimized respectively and the sensitivity and selectivity of NH 3 sensors could be enhanced to a higher level.

Fluorescent nanoparticles with multiplex distinct emission signatures and high brightness by a single wavelength excitation are substantially needed in multiplex bioassays and imaging. In this study, we synthesized fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles incorporated with three polymerizable organic dyes via a one-pot miniemulsion. By altering the doping ratio of three tandem dyes, the nanoparticles display abundant multiple fluorescence such as blue, cyan, green, orange, pink, red etc., together with distinguishable emission signatures under a single wavelength excitation, which were arising from the effective fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the three energy-matched dyes. Meanwhile, a large Stokes shift (up to 250 nm) can be generated by taking place multiple FRET cascade mechanism between donor and acceptor fluorophores in nanoparticles, which also suggests broad applications in biological labeling and imaging. Moreover, these nanoparticles are uniform in size, highly bright, excellently photostable, and shown prominent longterm stability. Overall, the novel multicolor fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles augur well for their potential applications in multiplexed bioanalysis and emitting displays. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

In order to reduce the wetting and fouling propensity of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane during coking wastewater treatment by membrane distillation, two kinds of omniphobic PVDF composite membranes were prepared by coating SiO 2 nanoparticles on PVDF membrane surface via electrostatic adsorption or chemical bonding respectively, and subsequently fluorination. The coated SiO 2 nanoparticles observed as amounts of nano-scale protrusions by scanning electron microscope constructed a re-entrant structure and enhanced membrane surface roughness . The omniphobicity of the modified membranes was confirmed by high contact angles (> 150°) for water, diiodomethane and ethylene glycol on the membrane surface. The omniphobic layer with SiO 2 nanoparticles coated via chemical bonding was more stable than electrostatic adsorption. Both the omniphobic PVDF membranes exhibited stable and high rejections of the inorganic and organic contaminants, which were determined by conductivity, total organic carbon and three-dimensional excitation-emission fluorescence spectroscopy of the distillate. The modified omniphobic membranes also showed much less flux decline than the pristine PVDF membrane in direct contact membrane distillation tests (120 h), suggesting their excellent anti-fouling performance. This study indicates that coating silica nanoparticles via chemical bonding is an effective and promising method to fabricate omniphobic PVDF membrane for coking wastewater treatment.

A series of temperature- and pH-responsive polyurethanes based on hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) were synthesized by a coupling reaction with bis-1,4-(hydroxyethyl) piperazine (HEP), N -methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) and N -butyldiethanolamine (BDEA), respectively. The chemical structure , molecular weight, thermal property and crystallization properties were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy. The resulting polyurethanes were then used to prepare nanoparticles either by direct dispersion method or dialysis method. Their pH and temperature responsibilities were evaluated by optical transmittance and size measurement in aqueous media. Interestingly, HDI-based and MDI-based polyurethanes exhibited different pH and temperature responsive properties. Nanoparticles based on HDI-HEP and HDI-MDEA were temperature-responsive, while MDI-based biomaterials were not. All of them showed pH-sensitive behavior. The possible responsive mechanism was investigated by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. The cytotoxicity of the polyurethanes was evaluated using methylthiazoletetrazolium (MTT) assay in vitro . It was shown that the HDI-based polyurethanes were non-toxic, and could be applied to doxorubicin (DOX) encapsulation. The experimental results indicated that DOX could be efficiently encapsulated into polyurethane nanoparticles and uptaken by Huh-7 cells. The loaded DOX molecules could be released from the drug-loaded polyurethane nanoparticles upon pH and temperature changes, responsively.

Misfit-layered oxides Ca 3 Co 4 O 9+δ + z wt% SiC ( z = 0.00, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) samples were synthesized using solid-state sintering method and the effects of SiC nanoparticles diapersion on the thermoelectric properties were investigated. Thermoelectric properties of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9+δ + z wt% SiC ( z = 0.00, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) were investigated up to 923 K. Compared with pure sample, the electrical resistivity of SiC-added samples reduces, for Ca 3 Co 4 O 9+δ + z wt% SiC ( z = 0.00, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) ceramic samples with x ≤ 0.05, the electrical resistivity decreases with increasing SiC nanoparticles adding amounts. And, the electrical resistivity exists transition from semiconductor to metal conduction mechanism. While, the thermal conductivity also decreases due to the addition of SiC nanoparticles . As a result, the Ca 3 Co 4 O 9+δ + 0.2 wt% SiC sample had the lowest thermal conductivity of 1.47 W/Km at 923 K, which was 18.4% lower than that of the Ca 3 Co 4 O 9+δ sample. The ZT value of Ca 3 Co 4 O 9+δ + 0.05 wt% SiC can reach 0.218, which is 40.9% higher than the pure Ca 3 Co 4 O 9+δ sample.

In this study, we developed a simple, sensitive and label-free colorimetric sensor for trypsin and its inhibitor using oxidase mimicking activity of protamine-stabilized platinum nanoparticles units (Pro-PtNPs units). Protamine is designed to stabilize PtNPs and served as the substrate of trypsin hydrolysis. The results show that protamine combines several PtNPs together to form active units, which have stronger oxidase mimicking activity than other PtNPs. In addition, the Michaelis constant of the Pro-PtNPs units is smaller than negatively charged citrate capped PtNPs, suggesting that the positively charged Pro-PtNPs units have better affinity with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), which is inconsistent with previous reports. The protamine stabilizer could be hydrolyzed in the presence of trypsin, and the Pro-PtNPs units would be decomposed and aggregated, resulting in a decrease of catalytic activity of Pro-PtNPs units. The color of the solution would be reduced according to the decrease of catalytic activity, so the catalytic activity is linearly related to UV absorbance. The linear range of trypsin detected by this new method is 0.06 μg/mL˜0.6 μg/mL, and the detection limit down to 0.03 μg/mL. Pro-PtNPs units have been successfully applied to the determination of serum trypsin and screening of inhibitors.

In this work, a rapid, convenient and sensitive Au nanoparticle-based immunochromatographic sensor (AuNPs-ICS) for simultaneous detection of various tadalafil adulterants in health food was established for the first time, based on one high affinity and broad-spectrum antibody through skeleton-specific hapten design according to the common structure of tadalafil drugs. This immunochromatographic sensor was developed by the polyclonal antibody conjugated with AuNPs and the IC50 was 10.04 ng mL−1 for tadalafil and 9.55, 11.46, 17.01 ng mL−1 for amino tadalafil, acetamino tadalafil and nortadalafil, respectively. The limit of detection results could be obtained visually by naked eyes for and computationally by the hand-held immunochromatography reader. The sensor could specially detect Tadalafil and its analogs within 10 min in health food samples, and the close correlation with UPLC-MS/MS method showed the sensor was accurate and reliable, which could apply to on site detection Tadalafil and its analogs rapidly and accurately.

A facile approach was developed to synthesize core–shell structured alumina/Cu microspheres by means of activation by silver nanoparticles in situ deposited on the polydopamine-coated alumina microsphere surface. This approach takes advantage of both the sufficient reductive capacity of polydopamine towards silver ions and the high activation of silver nanoparticles towards copper deposition. The chemical compositions of composite microspheres were characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The surface morphologies and crystalline structures of the coated alumina were studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The adhesion strength between the copper layer and the substrate was evaluated by ultrasonic exposure and thermal shock test. The results showed that silver nanoparticles effectively catalyzed the copper deposition reaction on the polydopamine-coated surface, which led to a faster and more reliable plating process compared with the process without activation. The compact and continuous copper layer obtained showed strong adhesion on the substrate surface.

The effects of copper nanoparticles (Cu) located in different regions of polytetrafluoroethylene/polyimide (PTFE/PI) blends on the morphology, thermal, mechanical, and tribological properties of PTFE composites were studied. Region one is PI phases (the corresponding composites is denoted as PPC), region two is PTFE phases and the interface between PTFE and PI (the corresponding composites is denoted as PPC-m). Results indicate that the incorporation of Cu nanoparticles into PI phases improves the dispersibility and homogeneity of PI phases. As a consequence, the crystallinity of PTFE composites is reduced, but compressive strength and modulus of PTFE composites are enhanced by 50.3% and 14.4% respectively. In addition, self-lubricity and wear resistance of PTFE composites are improved by 10.4% and 50.5%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrates that PI phases with Cu nanoparticles hinder the direct contact between PTFE matrix and counterparts. However, Cu nanoparticles located in PTFE matrix and the interface between PTFE and PI deteriorates the dispersibility and homogeneity of PI phases, which lead to the poor mechanical and tribological performance of PTFE composites.

Mesoporous hydroxyapatite is widely applied in biomedical and environmental fields due to its high surface area and adsorption capacity. In current work a one-step hydrothermal method to synthesize mesoporous HA was developed with the assistance of a cost-effective template vitamin C. It was observed the pore size and morphology of hydrothermally synthesized HA were correlated to applied solution composition. A combination of calcium hydroxide, orthophosphate, and vitamin C can finally result in mesoporous rod-like HA nanoparticles with surface area of 88 m 2 .g −1 and pore size of 15.7 nm on average. The mesoporous HA exhibited enhanced adsorption of model drug doxorubicin in comparison to conventionally synthesized HA as expected. Consequently, this work provides new pathway to prepare mesoporous HA with advantages of economy and convenience.
