The effective hydrodynamic radius of single DNA-grafted colloids as measured by fast Brownian motion analysis

Optical tweezers accomplished with fast position detection enable one to carry out Brownian motion analysis of single DNA-grafted (grafting density: ∼1000 molecules per particle, molecular weight: 4000 bp) colloids in media of varying NaCl concentration. By that the effective hydrodynamic radius of the colloid under study is determined and found to be strongly dependent on the conformation of the grafted DNA chains. Our results compare well both with recent measurements of the pair interaction potential between DNA-grafted colloids (Kegler et al. Phys Rev Lett 2008; 100:118302) and with microfluidic studies (Gutsche et al. Microfluid Nanofluid 2006; 2:381-386). The observed scaling of the brush height with the ion concentration is in full accord with the theoretical predictions by Pincus, Zhulina, Birshtein and Borisov.

Droplet: A virtual brush model to simulate Chinese calligraphy and painting

This paper proposes a virtual brush model based on droplet operation to simulate Chinese calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting in real time. Two ways of applying droplet model to virtual calligraphy and painting are discussed in detail The second droplet model is more elaborated and can produce more vivid results while being slightly more time-consuming. The novel feature of the proposed droplet virtual brush model successfully enables the simulation painting system to overcome the poor expressional ability of virtual brush based on particle system and avoids the complex evaluation of physical brush with solid model. The model, derived from the actual calligraphy and painting experience, due to the simplicity of the droplet operation and its powerful expressive ability, considerably improves the performance of the simulation system and maintains painting effect comparable with real brush by supporting special Chinese brush effect such as dry brush, feng and stroke diffusion.

Synthesis of thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brush on silicon wafer surface via atom transfer radical polymerization

Thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) [poly(NIPAM)] brush on silicon wafer surface was prepared by combining the self-assembled monolayer of initiator and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The resulting polymer brush was characterized by in situ reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and ellipsometry techniques. Gel permeation chromatography determination of the number-average molecular weight and polydispersity index of the brush detached from the silicon wafer surface suggested that the surface-initiated ATRP method can provide relatively homogeneous polymer brush. Contact angle measurements exhibited a two-stage increase upon heating over the board temperature range 25-45 °C, which is in contrast to the fact that free poly(NIPAM) homopolymer in aqueous solution exhibits a phase transition at ca. 34 °C within a narrow temperature range. The first de-wetting transition takes place at 27 °C, which can be tentatively attributed to the n-cluster induced collapse of the inner region of poly(NIPAM) brush close to the silicon surface; the second de-wetting transition occurs at 38 °C, which can be attributed to the outer region of poly(NIPAM) brush, possessing much lower chain density compared to that of the inner part.

Powder coatings technology: new developments at the turn of the century

The growth of the powder coating business is affected by the toxicological effects of the raw materials used in the coating formulation and the saturation of the present market for powder coatings, being limited to general metal applications only. This has a strong influence on the long-term research programmes at both raw materials suppliers and powder paint producers. In the last decade of the 20th century, we witness appearance of several new types of toxicologically-safe powder coating systems on the commercial scale. At the same time, there is strong evidence of efforts to penetrate new market fields where powder coatings are not typically used. This includes the markets for automotive clear top coatings, can and coil coatings, coatings for industrial wood, plastics and paper. The new developments in the chemistry of powder coatings are followed by changes and improvements in the production technology for powder coatings as well as developments of new application techniques. This paper summarises the research work on chemistry, production and application technology of powder coatings and tries to extrapolate the tendencies in the years to come in order to predict the achievements and the impacts on the paint industry.     

Brush-type amphiphilic polystyrene-g-poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)) copolymers from ATRP and their self-assembly in selective solvents

A series of well-defined brush-type amphiphilic polystyrene-g-poly(2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)) (PS-g-PDMAEMA) copolymers were successfully synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), using chloromethylated polystyrene (CMPS) as the macroinitiator. The self-assembly behavior of the resulting brush-type copolymers in deionized water and deionized water/acetone (v/v=2/3) mixture was studied by high performance particle sizer (HPPS). The results showed that the Z-average size of the micelles in deionized water increased with the increase of molecular weight of PDMAEMA, and the corresponding size was larger than that in mixed solvent of deionized water and acetone (v/v=2/3). The morphologies of the micelles self-assembled from PS-g-PDMAEMA in selective solvents were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). When the micelles were prepared in water/acetone (v/v=2/3) mixture and cast them on a glass slide at different temperatures (from 50 up to 200 °C), the transformation of the morphologies of aggregates, from needle-like solid to microcubic particles, was observed using SEM.
