高分子季铵盐型抗菌材料的制备

通过γ-氯丙基三甲氧基硅烷的偶联,将水溶性聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)接枝在纳米SiO2表面,随后分别用1-溴己烷和碘甲烷对接枝的PEI进行N-烷基化修饰,使PEI中的部分氨基转变成季铵盐,得到水不溶性QPEI/SiO2微粒。通过测定PEI/SiO2上PEI的接枝量,考察了各种反应条件对QPEI/SiO2微粒制备的影响规律。研究结果表明,纳米SiO2表面接枝PEI的适宜条件为:反应溶剂为DMF,反应温度90~100℃,反应时间8 h,氯丙基化SiO2与PEI质量比为4∶1,在此条件下制备的QPEI/SiO2微粒中PEI接枝量为14.8%。QPEI/SiO2微粒经甲基化修饰后,季铵盐含量由0.96%增加到3.37%,其抗菌性能显著增强。     

Boric acid binding studies with diol containing polyethylenimines as determined by 11B NMR spectroscopy

Three water‐soluble polymers incorporating increasing levels of 2,3‐dihydroxy propyl attached to polyethylenimine (PEI) backbone were synthesized, characterized by NMR, and investigated for their ability to bind boric acid (BA). ¹¹B NMR spectroscopy showed that BA interacted with the polymeric 2,3‐dihydroxy propyls by forming borate monoester and borate diesters in the boron concentration range of 100–1000 ppm and at 0.0775M polymer. Borate monoester species predominated for low functionalization levels (33% of the PEI amines functionalized), whereas borate diester species dominated for the higher functionalized polymers (66–100% of the PEI amines functionalized). All three polymers showed that 100% of the BA was bound as a mixture of borate mono‐ and diesters at 100‐ppm boron. The overall best performer based on total borate ester formation was the 2/3‐PEI, with a binding K_d of 631 at 200 ppm boron. Borate ion concentration was measured from the ¹¹B NMR chemical shift of the BA/borate peak and it decreased as 1/3‐PEI > 2/3‐PEI > 3/3‐PEI. Variable temperature ¹¹B NMR showed drastic reduction of borate ester species at 65°C. Thus, PEI polymers, as the ones investigated in this work, are reasonable candidates for the selective recovery and recycle of BA. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polymer assisted ultrafiltration for copper–citric acid chelate removal from wash solutions of contaminated soil

The removal of heavy metals from aqueous systems such as wash-solutions of contaminated soil by using Polymer-Assisted Ultrafiltration (PAUF) has been studied. For the extraction of metal ions from contaminated soil citric acid is used as a chelating agent. Cu²⁺ as metal ion and the polymer polyethylenimine (PEI) as ligand were used in the various experiments. Optimal chemical conditions for copper complexation by citric acid were determined by means of complexation tests. The results showed that citric acid is able to chelate copper ions at pH 5.5, while decomplexation occurs at pH 2. Maximum bonding capacity (saturation condition) was 0.625 mg Cu²⁺ per mg citric acid, meaning 2 mol Cu²⁺ per mol citric acid. Complexation tests in the system polyethylenimine–citric acid–copper showed that the polymer is able to complex the copper–citric acid chelate at pH = 6 while release occurs at pH < 3. The saturation condition was 0.333 mg Cu²⁺ per mg PEI. The ultrafiltration tests, carried out at three trans-membrane pressures (2, 3 and 4 bar), showed the possibility of using the PAUF technique for copper ion removal from aqueous solutions.     

聚乙烯亚胺修饰氧化石墨烯改性水性聚氨酯的制备及抗菌性能

采用改进的Hummers法制备氧化石墨烯(GO),用聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)还原GO得到了PEI-GO复合材料,再通过共混法制备出PEI-GO改性的水性聚氨酯(PGWPU)复合材料。红外光谱、X射线光电子能谱和X射线多晶体衍射测试表征了PEI的成功引入。由于PEI-GO的加入,使得PGWPU复合胶膜的力学性能得到了很大提高,加入1.0%的PEI-GO后,PGWPU的拉伸强度和断裂伸长率较纯水性聚氨酯分别提高了131.88%和62.55%。以大肠杆菌(E.coil)为测试菌种,通过贴膜法表征了胶膜的抗菌性。结果表明,当PEI-GO质量分数为0.2%时,胶膜对大肠杆菌的抗菌率为99.9%。     

12.5% Flexible Nonfullerene Solar Cells by Passivating the Chemical Interaction Between the Active Layer and Polymer Interfacial Layer

Nonfullerene (NF) organic solar cells (OSCs) have been attracting significant attention in the past several years. It is still challenging to achieve high‐performance flexible NF OSCs. NF acceptors are chemically reactive and tend to react with the low‐temperature‐processed low‐work‐function (low‐WF) interfacial layers, such as polyethylenimine ethoxylated (PEIE), which leads to the “S” shape in the current‐density characteristics of the cells. In this work, the chemical interaction between the NF active layer and the polymer interfacial layer of PEIE is deactivated by increasing its protonation. The PEIE processed from aqueous solution shows more protonated N⁺ than that processed from isopropyl alcohol solution, observed from X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. NF solar cells (active layer: PCE‐10:IEICO‐4F) with the protonated PEIE interfacial layer show an efficiency of 13.2%, which is higher than the reference cells with a ZnO interlayer (12.6%). More importantly, the protonated PEIE interfacial layer processed from aqueous solution does not require a further thermal annealing treatment (only processing at room temperature). The room‐temperature processing and effective WF reduction enable the demonstration of high‐performance (12.5%) flexible NF OSCs.

Furthermore, future perspectives of pH-sensitive membranes are discussed.     

Effects of Surface Characteristics and Xanthan Polymers on the Immobilization of Xanthomonas campestris to Fibrous Matrices

ABSTRACT: The production of xanthan gum, an industrially important microbial exopolysaccharide, was enhanced by using Xanthomonas campestris cells adsorbed to cotton fibers. However, the function of xanthan polymers during cell adsorption has not been elucidated. Polyethylenimine (PEI), a cationic polyelectrolyte, was employed to investigate respective effects of fiber surface properties and xanthan polymers during cell adsorption. Adsorption of X. campestris cells to fiber was independent of fiber roughness and hairiness, and the effect of electrostatic interactions between cells and fiber was insignificant. Fiber hydrophilicity was critical in initiating cell-fiber contacts, whereas xanthan polymers enhanced retention of cells on fiber surface. The untreated cotton showed the highest immobilization efficiency and xanthan production.

Synthesis and Application of a Novel Sorbent (Tannic Acid-Grafted-Polyethyleneimine Encapsulated in Alginate Beads) for Heavy Metal Removal

A sorbent was produced by chemical modification (tannic acid grafting) of polyethylenimine (PEI) and encapsulation in alginate gel beads. The sorbent was characterized by SEM-EDX and FTIR analyses before being used for the sorption of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II). The influence of pH was tested and sorption isotherms have been determined: the Langmuir equation fits well experimental data; for Cu(II), the bi-site Langmuir equation was preferred. Metal sorption capacity exceeds 1 mmol metal g^?1 and amine groups (with hydroxyl groups of tannic acid or carboxylic groups of alginate) contribute to metal binding. The pseudo second-order rate equation fits kinetic profiles well.     

Application of polyethylenimine‐impregnated solid adsorbents for direct capture of low‐concentration CO2

A systematic study of CO₂ capture on the amine‐impregnated solid adsorbents is carried out at CO₂ concentrations in the range of 400–5000 ppm, relating to the direct CO₂ capture from atmospheric air. The commercially available polymethacrylate‐based HP2MGL and polyethylenimine are screened to be the suitable support and amine, respectively, for preparation of the adsorbent. The adsorbents exhibit an excellent saturation adsorption capacity of 1.96 mmol/g for 400 ppm CO₂ and 2.13 mmol/g for 5000 ppm CO₂. Moisture plays a promoting effect on CO₂ adsorption but depends on the relative humidity. The presence of O₂ would lead to the decrease of adsorption capacity but do not affect the cyclic performance. The diffusion additive is efficient to improve the adsorption capacity and cyclic performance. Moreover, the adsorbents can be easily regenerated under a mild temperature. This study may have a positive impact on the design of high‐performance adsorbents for CO₂ capture from ambient air. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 972–980, 2015
