Abstract: Quaternary ammonium compounds, Couple, Cotton fiber, Antibacterial activity. Abstract. a gemini-type quaternary ammonium compound with a hydroxyl group in their spacer chain, 4,5-bis(dodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide)-1-pentanol (called as DAP12), was immobilized on the surface of cotton fiber by using a silane coupler, tetraethoxysilane and a novel antibacterial cotton fiber (called as CF12) was prepared. Antibacterial characteristics of CF12 were investigated comparatively with [3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl] octadecyldimethylammonium chloride(TPOAC), a mono-type quaternary ammonium salt. CF12 had excellent antibacterial characteristics in the wide range of environmental pH and temperature, which is not weakened even if 30 times repetitive use. The experimental results indicated also that CF12 has higher antimicrobial activity than TPOAC immobilized on the surface of cotton fiber against a broad range of microorganisms, and average inhibition ratio against 15 strains of gram-negative, gram-positive bacteria and yeasts is 99.0% at 30 °C and pH 6.0.

Abstract: Strontium barium niobate-based glass-ceramics are prepared by melt-casting followed by controlled crystallization. Results show that Ba_0.25Sr_0.75Nb₂O₆ with tungsten bronze structure forms as the dielectric phases from the glass matrix at 800°C. However, a secondary phase NaSr_1.2Ba_0.8Nb₅O₁₅ occurrs when crystallization temperature exceeds 850°C. The glass-ceramics formed through controlled crystallization exhibit the excellent stability of the temperature and frequency dependence of dielectric properties. The breakdown strength increases with the crystallization temperature. The glass-ceramic material heated at 800°C/3h+950°C/3h shows a breakdown strength of 1400 kV/cm and its energy storage density can reach up to 4.0 J/cm3, which may be strong candidate for high energy density storage capacitors for portable or pulsed power applications.

Abstract: A novel cellulose-based oil absorbent crosslinked cellulose-dibutyl sebacate copolymers was prepared by the graft crosslinking polymerization of in situ synthesized dibutyl sebacate and cotton cellulose using potassium persulfate as an initiator. The copolymers were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, etc. The effects of reaction conditions, such as, ratio of reaction regents, reaction temperature, reaction time, etc, on the efficiency of oil absorbency were examined. The optimized reaction conditions for the synthesis of crosslinked cellulose-dibutyl sebacate copolymers were: m(cotton pulp):m(K2S2O8 initiator):m(dibutyl sebacate) = 1 0.025 2.0(W/W)，75°C，and 5-6 h. The resulting crosslinked cellulose-dibutyl sebacate copolymers were floppy and exhibited excellent oil absorbency efficiency.

Abstract: A novel thermo-responsive microsphere-sized poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) composite hydrogels were prepared by gelation of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solution containing ultra-fine CaCO₃, then treated with 2wt% glutaraldehyde solution, sequencely with HCl acid, and PVA matrix with microsphere-sized pores obtained. The internal pores of the dry PVA matrix were filled with PNIPAm hydrogels to give a thermo-responsive composite hydrogels for drug carrier. The composite hydrogel was characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), temperature dependence of equilibrium swelling ratio in water of the composite hydrogels was also investigated. Rhodamine B (RB) was loaded to the composite hydrogels for release study.

Abstract: Transparent and highly ordered titania nanotube arrays (TNAs) film electrode was synthesized by anodization from the sputtered titanium (Ti) film on a conductive glass and then applied in the degradation of Acid-orange 7 (AO7) model wastewater. The resulting nanotubes have a length of ~900nm and a pore diameter of ~80nm, resting upon a thin barrier layer. Using 20mg L-1 AO7 solutions as a model system, the removal rate of AO7 by the TNAs glass electrode reaches 95.9% within 180min for the fixed bias potential, higher than 86.2% removal by the TNAs metal electrode under the same treatment conditions.

Abstract: To improve the wear-resistance of Ti600, and alleviate thermal stress as well under hyperthermal and excessive temperature difference condition, experiments of Ti-matrix FGM on Ti600 substrate by pulsed Nd:YAG had been carried out. The microstructures, microhardness and phase composition of FGM were investigated. And the friction wear properties of FGM, N-FGM and Ti600 substrate were examined in atmosphere. It was found that a rapidly solidified microstructure consisting of in situ synthesized TiC reinforced phase distributed on FGM substance evenly and dispersely in the form of globular grains had three main different shapes:bulky or imperfect arborescent crystal, fine or approximately equiaxial crystal and chopped fibriform crystal. With the increasing of original Cr₃C₂ content, the number and size of arborescent crystal increased obviously. The distribution of main alloy components was gradient and continuous, presenting the same composition and regularity to the originally preset alloy powder. FGM and N-FGM had an average hardness of approximately 1450, 4.5-5 times of Ti600 substrate, attributed to TiC primary dendrites. With the reducing of weight percentage of TiC, microhardness decreased gradiently and continuously. Meanwhile, the wear resistance of FGM and N-FGM was improved obviously. Friction coefficient, wear loss and wear rate decreased significantly, 0.3-0.5 times of Ti600 substrate.

Abstract: The new functional material, the hybrids with molecular formula (C₆H₅C_NH_2nNH₃)₂PbI₄(where N=0,1,2) were synthesized by reactions in solution. The influences of the reactant ratio and the reaction time on the structures of the products were investigated. The structures and the properties of the hybrids were characterized using X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ultraviolet&visible (UV) adsorption spectra . The effect of number of methylene, n, on the structure forming and the band gap magnitude has been studied. The results demenstrate that the number of methylene has effect both on the forming of the layered structure and on the magnitude of the band gap.

This preliminary approach provides an environmentally-friendly synthetic route to 1,3-diallyloxy-2-propanol with many advantages, i. e., low cost, high yield, easy purification, mild reaction conditions, and large scale production.

Abstract: Pure phase Mn-doped Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ crystals were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Magnetic loops measured at room temperature indicate that ferromagnetism can be obtained in Mn-doped Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ crystals, and the magnetism of Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ crystals can be controlled by adjusting Mn doping concentration. The magnetism of the Mn-doped Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ crystals varied from diamagnetism, ferromagnetism, and paramagnetic on increasing Mn doping concentration from 0 to 30mol%. The results showed in this study may provide an approach to widely exploring more multiferroic materials.
