Vital-Fluorochromization of Microorganisms Using 3′,6′-Diacetylfluorescein to Determine Damages of Cell Membranes and Loss of Metabolic Activity by Ozonation

Cell suspensions of Escherichia coli as a model for bacterial populations in wastewaters were treated with ozone as a disinfectant in a continuously operated pilot plant with a plug flow reactor. Suspensions with an initial number of CFU (colony forming units) of 10⁸ mL^?1 were ozonized with ozone concentrations up to 12 mg/L. Metabolic activities and membrane functions break down with increasing ozone concentrations. The fluorochromization using 3′,6′-diacetylfluorescein (FDA) proved to be a suitable method for the detection of an alteration in permeability of the cell membranes and an inactivation of metabolic activity. By fluorescence microscopic and photometric investigations it could be clearly demonstrated that, in the case of disinfection with ozone, inactivation of the cells includes first of all a damage of the cell membranes. In contrast to the determination of the number of CFU, fluorochromization allows the detection of alteration in metabolic activities.

EPR kinetics in irradiated syndiotactic polystyrene at elevated temperatures

Free radicals are formed upon irradiation of polymers. The annealing of γ-ray irradiated syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) with doses 10, 23 and 36 kGy was studied with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The EPR spectra are possibly attributed to three types of radicals, (a) the benzyl radical Ra, (b) resonance structure of the phenyl radical Rb, and (c) carbon-superoxide-centered radical Rc with three-, four-, and single-line features, respectively. Radical Ra can be easily formed by the removal of the proton from the tertiary carbon; radical Rb is created from delocalization of the spin of the radical Ra onto the benzene ring; and radical Rc may be generated from the interaction of a carbon-centered radical with dioxygen from the air which forms a carbon-superoxide center. By comparing EPR spectra of the radicals with a DPPH standard, the spin numbers of the radicals can be calculated. The spin number of all radicals decreases exponentially with time in the temperature range of 60-90 °C regardless of dose of the irradiation. The annealing of Ra, Rb, and Rc follows first-order kinetics. The activation energies of the annihilation are determined to be 15.8-19.0, 16.0-19.5, and 23.2-26.6 kJ/mol for radicals Ra, Rb, and Rc, respectively. The kinetic study presented herein can serve as a criterion for γ-ray irradiation process in various applications, such as sterilization of polymer materials and devices.     

Preparation of High Strength and Toughness Aramid Fiber by Introducing Flexible Asymmetric Monomer to Construct Misplaced-Nunchaku Structure

High performance fibers with high strength and toughness have great potential in composites, but contradiction between tensile strength and elongation at break makes the preparation to become a current challenge. Herein, an asymmetric structure of more flexible diamine, 3,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether (3,4′-ODA), is introduced into heterocyclic aramid (PBIA) fibers to replace rigid symmetric p-phenylenediamine (PDA). By studying the properties of copolymer (mPEBA) fibers with different ratios of diamine, it is found that the mPEBA fiber reached the optimal mechanical properties with the 30% content of 3,4′-ODA. Compared with homopolymerized heterocyclic aramid fibers, the tensile strength and elongation at break of mPEBA fiber are improved by 26.2% and 38.7%, respectively. Results of X-ray diffraction show that the introduction of 3,4′-ODA structure can increase stretchability of mPEBA fibers, improving the orientation degree during hot-drawing. Molecular dynamics simulations confirm that 3,4′-ODA structure undergoes a conformation transformation to form a straightened chain during hot-drawing, while symmetrical 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl ether (4,4′-ODA) cannot form the same conformation. The misplaced-nunchaku structure is formed based on the special meta-para position of 3,4′-ODA, achieving the synergy of high strength and high toughness.

Structural features of inclusion complexes of γ-cyclodextrin with various polymers

The crystalline structures of inclusion complexes of γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) with poly(ethylene glycol), poly(ethylene adipate), poly(propylene glycol) and poly(isobutylene) were studied by electron microscopy, in combination with X-ray diffraction works and measurements of thermal properties by DSC and TGA. The crystalline structure of as-prepared complexes was tetragonal and its cell dimensions were a = b = 2.380 nm and c = 1.48 nm. When an as-prepared sample was dried in a vacuum at room temperature, the tetragonal modification was transformed into the monoclinic one with the projected cell dimensions of a = 1.75, b = 1.36 nm and γ = 110°. The transformation occurred by progressive ‘shifting’ of rows of polymer necklaces in the [110] direction along the (110) plane in an original tetragonal lamellar crystal. Complexes lost weight by 10-15% in the process of heating up to 140 °C. The tetragonal crystalline modification was transformed into the hexagonal one, and concurrently, the X-ray diffraction profiles of annealed complexes were broadened. When a sample was dried in a vacuum at room temperature or annealed at high temperatures, followed by exposure to water vapor, the original tetragonal crystalline structure was recovered, restoring the original degree of orientation of crystallites in the sample. When water molecules were removed, the lateral stacking order of γ-CD-polymer complexes was destroyed, but the basic necklace structure in which polymer chains threaded through the cavity of γ-CD rings' structure could be retained.
