A benzenesulfonic acid-modified organic polymer monolithic column with reversed-phase/hydrophilic bifunctional selectivity for capillary electrochromatography

Here,a styrene-based polymer monolithic column poly(VBS-co-TAT-co-AHM)with reversed-phase/hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography(RPLC/HILIC)bifunctional separation mode was success-fully prepared for capillary electrochromatography by the in situ polymerization of sodium p-styrene sulfonate(VBS)with cross-linkers 3-(acryloyloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate(AHM)and 1,3,5-triacryloylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazine(TAT).The preparation conditions of the monolith were optimized.The morphology and formation of the poly(VBS-co-TAT-co-AHM)monolith were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR).The separation perfor-mances of the monolith were evaluated systematically.It should be noted that the incorporation of VBS functional monomer can provideπ-πinteractions,hydrophilic interactions,and ion-exchange in-teractions.Hence,the prepared poly(VBS-co-TAT-co-AHM)monolith can achieve efficient separation of thiourea compounds,benzene series,phenol compounds,aniline compounds and sulfonamides in RPLC or HILIC separation mode.The largest theoretical plate number for N,N0-dimethylthiourea reached 1.7×10^(5)plates/m.In addition,the poly(VBS-co-TAT-co-AHM)monolithic column showed excellent reproducibility and stability.This novel monolithic column has great application value and potential in capillary electrochromatography(CEC).

Chiral separation by (S)-naproxen imprinted monolithic column with mixed functional monomers

Molecularly imprinted polymers （MIPs）, using （S）-naproxen as template and the combination of butyl methacrylate （BMA） and MAA （1：1 molar ratio） as functional monomers were synthesized by an in situ polymerization reaction. The rendered monolithic column was evaluated in HPLC mode. The result showed that the monolithic MIPs with the combination of two monomers produced better chiral resolution of rac-naproxen （Rs = 1.55） and column efficiencies of imprinted molecules （N = 2860 plates/m） than that with pure MAA.

Evaluation of the clenbuterol imprinted monolithic column prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization

To make more homogenous organic monolithic structure, reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer （RAFT） process was employed in the synthesis of the clenbuterol imprinted polymer. In the synthesis, the influence of synthetic conditions on the polymer structure and separation efficiency was studied. The result demonstrated that the imprinted columns prepared with RAFT process have higher column efficiency and selectivity than the columns prepared with conventional polymerization in the present study, which may result from the higher surface area, smaller pore size and the narrower globule size distribution in their structures. The result indicated that RAFT polymerization provided better conditions for the clenbuterol imprinted monolithic polymer preparation. 2009 Xiang Chao Dong.

An enrichment device of silica-based monolithic material and its application to determine micro-carbaryl by NIRS

Silica-based monolithic column material was synthesized and an enrichment device was fabricated with the material by assembling the material inside a glass column. The enrichment device was applied for the determination of micro-carbaryl with near-infrared spectroscopy （NIRS）. The aqueous solutions of carbaryl passed through the device and the carbaryl was enriched on the surface of the material where diffuse reflection NIR spectra were measured. These procedures of enrichment and measurement ensured to concentrate analytes for the measurement, so that the sensitivity of determination of MRS could be improved. NIR spectra of carbaryl solutions （0.01-1.00μg mL^-1）, measured after the application of the enrichment device, were pretreated with multiplicative scatter correction （MSC） and regressed against the concentrations of the carbaryl solutions with partial least squares （PLS） method. The results showed that the minimum value of root-mean-square error of prediction （RMSEP） was 0.1771 μg mL^-1 when the number of latent variables was 3 of PLS regression. Therefore, the number of latent variables 3 was selected as the optimum value. RMSEP was not very low but acceptable considering that NIRS is commonly used in macro amount analysis and it is quite difficult for NIRS to determine micro amount analytes, especially, less than 1 μg mL^-1.

Seismic behavior of precast segmental column bridges under near-fault forward-directivity ground motions

Precast segmental column bridges exhibit various construction advantages in comparison to traditional monolithic column bridges.However,the lack of cognitions on seismic behaviors has seriously restricted their applications and developments.In this paper,comprehensive investigations are conducted to analyze the dynamic characteristics of precast segmental column bridges under near-fault,forward-directivity ground motions.First,the finite-element models of two comparable bridges with precast segmental columns and monolithic columns are constructed by using OpenSees software,and the nonlinearities of the bridges are considered.Next,three different earthquake loadings are meticulously set up to handle engineering problems,namely recorded near-and far-field ground motions,parameterized pulses,and pulse and residual components extracted from real records.Finally,based on the models and earthquake sets,extensive explorations are carried out.The results show that near-fault forward-directivity ground motions are more threatening than far-field ones;precast segmental column bridges may suffer more pounding impacts than monolithic bridges;the“narrow band”effect caused by near-fault,forward-directivity ground motions may occur in bridges with shorter periods than pulse periods;and pulse and residual components play different roles in seismic responses.

整体柱(MC)是由反应单体、交联剂、致孔剂等在一定条件下于毛细管或色谱柱等管状材料中经原位聚合而形成的均匀、稳定的棒状整体,因此又被称为棒状柱、连续床等。根据其制备原料类型的不同,整体柱被分为三大类,即有机整体柱、无机整体柱和有机-无机杂化整体柱。由于毛细管中合成的毛细管整体柱是固相微萃取(SPME)的一个分支,属于管内固相微萃取(In-tube SPME),具有固相微萃取的一切优点,它集采样、萃取、浓缩和进样等多个步骤于一体。与萃取纤维和涂层毛细管萃取柱相比,整体柱增加了萃取材料的总量,从而显著提高了萃取容量;相对于填充柱而言,整体柱不仅无需填装材料,而且其特殊的穿透孔为液体的流过提供了较大的孔道,以较快的对流传质代替了缓慢的扩散传质,有利于提高萃取效率。因而具有操作简便、耗时短、测定速度快、效率高、有机溶剂消耗少、灵敏度高等优势,适用于常量、痕量甚至于超痕量样品分析,符合当今样品预处理技术朝着环境友好、微型化以及自动化方向发展的趋势,在样品前处理领域具有重要意义。该文总结了近年来整体柱的设计、制备及其在样品前处理领域中的应用进展,并对其未来发展趋势进行了展望,为该领域内整体柱的设计和制备提供了参考。
