Tribological Characteristics of Aqueous Graphene Oxide,Graphitic Carbon Nitride,and Their Mixed Suspensions

The tribological performance of graphene oxide (GO), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄), and their mixed (g-C₃N₄/GO) aqueous suspensions was investigated. The 0.06 wt% GO, 0.06 wt% g-C₃N₄, and 0.06 wt% 1:1 g-C₃N₄/GO suspensions reduced the coefficient of friction (COF) by 37, 26 and 37% and wear mark radius by 19.1, 16.0 and 19.6%, respectively, in comparison with water. Pure g-C₃N₄ and GO suspensions showed unstable lubrication in the tests with relatively high loads and speeds, while the g-C₃N₄/GO mixed suspension had superior tribological performance in all tested conditions. This is because in the mixed suspension g-C₃N₄ agglomerates became smaller, and GO nanosheets exhibited fewer wrinkles and less stacking, which enabled the formation of a layer of tribo-composite film. As a result, the friction, wear and tribo-corrosion were reduced during sliding.

A physical strategy for the preparation of isotactic polypropylene spheres with microsphere and bead–string spherulite morphologies

This study mainly focuses on the formation of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) blend morphologies with microspheres and distinct bead–string spherulites. iPP microspheres have been prepared by a simple and convenient strategy through either an isothermal or a nonisothermal crystallization process based on the macrophase‐separated structure in molten state of iPP/olefin block copolymer (OBC) blend. The dimension of the iPP spheres can be adjusted easily from about 1 µm to >10 µm by controlling the compatibility and annealing conditions. It was found that any of the following three parameters, the molecular structure of OBC (particularly the octene content), molecular weight of iPP, and annealing condition can be rescaled with others in controlling the dimension of the iPP microspheres. The mechanism of the formation of iPP microspheres was studied in detail. Surprisingly, the typical spinodal decomposition morphology with interconnected or thin sheet structure is the precursor of these microspheres. During the subsequent annealing process, it breaks up and further coarsens into spherical structure. In addition, distinct spherulites with a bead–string substructure have been obtained during the isothermal crystallization. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Enantioselective Construction of Cyclic Enaminone‐Based 3‐Substituted 3‐Amino‐2‐oxindole Scaffolds via Catalytic Asymmetric Additions of Isatin‐Derived Imines

The first catalytic asymmetric construction of the cyclic enaminone‐based 3‐substituted 3‐amino‐2‐oxindole scaffold with potential bioactivity has been developed via chiral phosphoric acid‐catalyzed enantioselective addition reactions of cyclic enaminones to isatin‐derived imines, which afforded a series of cyclic enaminone‐based 3‐substituted 3‐amino‐2‐oxindoles in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield, 97% ee). The investigation of the reaction mechanism suggested that it was facilitated by a dual hydrogen‐bonding activation mode between the two substrates and the chiral phosphoric acid. Besides, this method could be utilized for a large‐scale synthesis with maintained enantioselectivity. This approach will not only offer a useful method for enantioselective construction of the cyclic enaminone‐based 3‐substituted 3‐amino‐2‐oxindole scaffold, but also enrich the research on catalytic asymmetric addition reactions of isatin‐derived imines by using electron‐rich olefins as nucleophiles. More importantly, a preliminary evaluation on the cytotoxicity of some selected products revealed that two of the enantio‐pure compounds exhibited moderate to strong cytotoxicity to A549, 786‐0, ECA109 and BT474 cancer cell lines.

Chemical synthesis of SmCo_5/Co magnetic nanocomposites

A three-step chemical synthesis of SmCo_5/Co nanocomposites was developed. Firstly, the Co-Sm(OH)_3-Ca(OH)_2 precursors were prepared by co-precipitation.Secondly, SmCo_5 particles were obtained by reductive annealing of the precursors. At last, the SmCo_5/Co nanocomposites were achieved by chemical deposition based on SmCo_5 particles. The SmCo_5/Co nanocomposites contain hard magnetic phase of SmCo_5 with about 100 nm in size and soft magnetic phase of Co with about 8 nm in size,exhibiting independent two-phase structure without alloying. Compared to that of single-phase SmCo_5 particles, the saturation magnetization of SmCo_5/Co nanocomposites is increased by 27.5%. The synthesis provides a new route to fabricate SmCo-based nanocomposites.
