The synthesized compatibilizer-blended composite showed better mechanical properties than the industrial one, which indicates the potential application of this composite (around 62% recycled material) in the manufacture of packaging materials and commodity products.Luteolin is an anti-inflammatory flavonoid commonly found in many edible plants. The compound is popularly consumed as a supplement regardless of its poor water solubility (27.8 μg/mL at 25 °C) and low bioavailability. Here, mild one-pot polymerization of luteolin into water-dispersible nanospheres, with an average dry size of 234.8 ± 101.6 nm, an aqueous size distribution of 379.1 ± 220.5 nm (PDI = 0.338), an average ζ-potential of -36.2 ± 0.2 mV, and an 89.3 ± 4.8% yield, is described. The nanospheres consist of polymerized luteolin (polyluteolin) with a weight-average molecular mass of around 410000 Da. see more The chemical structure of polyluteolin is identified through 1H-1H correlated spectroscopy (COSY), 1H-13C heteronuclear single-quantum coherence (HSQC), and 1H-13C heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) NMR spectroscopic analyses of the oligomers, and a polymerization mechanism is proposed. Unlike luteolin that showed both dose-dependent anti-inflammatory activity and cytotoxicity when tested in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages, the polyluteolin nanoparticles possess dose-dependent anti-inflammatory activity without causing cell death even at high concentrations.In this study, inorganic perovskite (CsPbBr3) quantum dots are wrapped in SiO2 to provide better performance against external erosion. Long-term storage (250 days) is demonstrated with very little changes in the illumination capability of these quantum dots. While in the continuous aging procedure, different package architectures can achieve very different lifetimes. As long as 6000 h of lifetime can be expected from these quantum dots, but the blue shift of emission wavelength still needs more investigation.Unambiguous assignments have been made for each individual pKa value of the amino group and guanidine substituents on 2-deoxystreptamine, neamine, neomycin, paromomycin, and streptomycin by pH-titration evaluation of their 1H, 13C, and 15N (by 1H-15N heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) spectra) NMR chemical shifts (δXs) as the reporter nuclei. These data require minor revisions of the literature data in terms of the assignment order for neomycin and paromomycin. In situ titrations and NMR spectroscopy are shown to be a powerful combination for rapidly (minutes) obtaining each distinct pKa value of the similar amine and guanidine functional groups, which decorate aminoglycoside antibiotics.Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) has been progressively used in the development of shale oil and gas. However, the interaction between CO2 and shale can change the mineral composition and the pore structure, thus affecting the mechanical properties of shale. To study the influence of SC-CO2 on shale, shale samples collected from the Songliao Basin in China are treated with SC-CO2 at various time intervals. Then, a series of tests are performed, such as the mineral composition analysis test, the pore structure analysis test, and the macro mechanics test. The results show that the mechanical properties of shale gradually decrease exponentially with the increase of SC-CO2 treatment time. The loss of elastic modulus reaches about 47% after the treatment of 14 d. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the mineral (except quartz) content decreases after SC-CO2 treatment, and in particular, the proportions of carbonate minerals significantly decrease by about 12%. The primary pores and fractures are eroded through dissolution, and new pores and fracture structures are developed on the surface microstructure. In addition, the proportion of micropores and mesopores decreases, while the proportion of macropores increases after SC-CO2 treatment. The specific surface area and average pore size present upward trends during SC-CO2 treatment. The changes of mineral assemblage and pore structure lead to the obvious decline of mechanical properties in shale reservoirs. This study contributes to understanding the evolution characteristics of mechanical properties under SC-CO2 treatment, which is of great significance for the efficient exploitation in shale reservoirs.The coupling agent TESPT (bis-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl] tetrasulfide) was modified by substituting polyisoprenyl (PI) carbanions for the ethoxyl groups on silicon for increasing the interaction of rubber with its fillers. The modification was carried out by the reaction of TESPT with polyisoprenyllithium, which had been previously prepared by anionic polymerization of isoprene using butyllithium. The success of the substitution was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and the molecular weight of the modified TESPT (PI-TESPT) was determined from gel permeation chromatography measurements. The effects of tethered PI, as well as of its chain length, on the mechanical and dynamic properties of rubber compounds were examined using a universal testing machine and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). In rubber sample preparation, the amount of PI3-TESPT (PI of 2900 g/mol) used in rubber compounding is equal to that of the reference sample with TESPT (STESPT). For SPI-TESPT samples, the amounts of PI6-TESPT (PI of 5500 g/mol) and PI14-TESPT (PI of 13,700 g/mol) used were calculated as molar ethoxyl groups which are nearly equivalent to those of PI3-TESPT. At the same wt % (parts per hundred, phr) of elemental sulfur in rubber compounds, despite the order of cross-linking density being STESPT (sample prepared with TESPT) > SPI3-TESPT > SPI6-TESPT > SPI14-TESPT, the exhibited tensile strength is of the order of SPI3-TESPT > SPI6-TESPT > STESPT ≈ SPI14-TESPT. The better mechanical properties of SPI3-TESPT, as opposed to those of STESPT, could be attributed to the extra reinforcement from the PI-rubber chain linkage and better silica dispersion, as suggested by the mixing torque and Payne effect (ΔG') measurements. While the dynamic properties of SPI3-TESPT are inferior to those of STESPT, these properties can be improved by adding more elemental sulfur to increase the cross-linking density.
