Sequential interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) hydrogels based on konjac glucomannan (KGM) and poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) were prepared by immersion of a solution of methacrylic acid (MAA) monomer with cross-linker N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAAm) and initiating into a pre-fabricated dried KGM gel. Polymerization and cross-linking of MAA inside the KGM network resulted in a novel biodegradable pH-sensitive IPN hydrogel. The studies on the swelling behavior of IPN hydrogels reveal their sensitive response to environment pH value.

Since alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) provides an indication of phosphorus deficiency, the higher value for algal APA in the treatments with excess nitrogen and for bacterial APA in the treatments with excess carbon suggested that, algal and bacterial phosphorus-limited status were induced by abundant nitrogen and carbon input, respectively. Bacterial phosphorus-limited status was weakened due to higher bacterial competition for phosphorus, compared to algae.

Thermo-sensitive semi-IPN hydrogels were prepared via in situ copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) with poly(ethylene glycol)-co-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PEG-co-PCL) macromer in the presence of sodium alginate by UV irradiation technology. The effects of the sodium alginate content, temperature, and salt on the swelling behavior of the as-obtained hydrogels were studied. The results showed that the swelling ratio of the hydrogels increased with the increasing sodium alginate content at the same temperature, and decreased with the increase in temperature.

On the basis of the synthesis of novel biodegradable amphiphilic MPEG-b-PCL-grafted chitooligosaccharide (COS-g-PCL-b-MPEG) copolymers, supramolecular hydrogels were fabricated rapidly via their inclusion complexation with alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) in aqueous solutions. The graft copolymers were characterized by (1)H NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and fluorescence measurement, and the supramolecular structure of the resultant hydrogels was confirmed by X-ray diffraction measurements. Rheological studies of as-obtained hydrogels indicate that the physical properties could be modulated by controlling the concentration and the graft content of the graft copolymers as well as the molar feed ratio of the graft to alpha-CD.

The branched structure properties of hyperbranched polysaccharides (TM3a and TM3b), extracted from sclerotia of Pleurotus tuber-regium, were studied by using laser light scattering and viscometry. The configurational shrinking factor (g) and viscometric shrinking factor (g') of TM3a and TM3b were discussed, where curdlan and pullulan were taken as the linear references for derivation of g and g'. The dependences of g factor, g' factor, and Flory factor (Phi(branched)) on weight average molecular weight (M(w)) were established to be g=1.

In this work, we carried out the hybrid density functional theory (DFT) calculations in order to understand the thermal trans-cis isomerization and initial thermal decomposition of 3,3'-diamino-4,4'-azofurazan (DAAzF), 3,3'-diamino-4,4'-azoxyfurazan (DAAF), 3,3'-dinitro-4,4'-azofurazan (DAAF) and 3,3'-dinitro-4,4'-azoxyfurazan (DAAzF). The relative energy between the trans- and cis-isomer was also calculated at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. We found that a negative correlation existed between the relative energy and the sensitivity for these energetic azofurazan and azoxyfurazan compounds, where the higher relative energy means the lower the sensitivity.

We report a combined experimental and computational study of the large self-assembly complex (CoL)(2) [L= bis(2,4,8,10-tetramethyl-9-methoxycarbonylethyldipyrrin-3-yl)methane] containing 172 atoms. An extensive density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT study of this complex in gas phase and in CH(2)Cl(2) solution was performed, investigating the effect of substitutions of methyl and methyl propionate on the electronic structure and optical properties of this complex. The calculated IR and Raman spectra are in excellent agreement with the experiment, thus allowing a detailed assignment of the vibrational absorption bands.

Polyester filament yarns of different Deniers were knitted into tubular fabrics with different densities and thicknesses on a specially designed weft-knitting machine. The developed tubular fabric was used to reinforce polyurethane vascular graft and thus a kind of composite vascular graft was fabricated with a small inner diameter of 4 mm. Tensile properties of the reinforced composite vascular grafts were compared with the control tubular fabric and the pure PU vascular grafts.

This paper presents a new way of recycling aluminum and iron in boiler slag derived from coal combustion plants, which integrates efficient extraction and reuse of the leached pellets together. The boiler slag was pelletized together with washed coal and lime prior to sintering and then was sintered at 800-1200 degrees C for different periods to produce sintered pellets for the leaching test. An elemental analysis of aqueous solutions leached by sulfuric acid was determined by EDTA-Na(2)-ZnCl(2) titration method.

In this work, the effects of H(+) and NH(4)(+) on the initial decomposition of HMX were investigated on the basis of the B3P86/6-31G** and B3LYP/6-31G* calculations. Three initial decomposition pathways including the N-NO(2) bond fission, HONO elimination and C-N bond dissociation were considered for the complexes formed by HMX with H(+) (PHMX1 and PHMX2) or with NH(4)(+) (AHMX). We found that H(+) and NH(4)(+) did not evidently induce the HMX to trigger the N-NO(2) heterolysis because the energy barrier of N-NO(2) heterolysis was found to be higher than the bond dissociation energy of N-NO(2) homolytic cleavage.
