Polyethylene glycol fusion repair of severed rat sciatic nerves reestablishes axonal continuity and reorganizes sensory terminal fields in the spinal cord

Peripheral nerve injuries result in the rapid degeneration of distal nerve segments and immediate loss of motor and sensory functions;behavioral recovery is typically poor.We used a plasmalemmal fusogen,polyethylene glycol(PEG),to immediately fuse closely apposed open ends of severed proximal and distal axons in rat sciatic nerves.We have previously reported that sciatic nerve axons repaired by PEG-fusion do not undergo Wallerian degeneration,and PEG-fused animals exhibit rapid(within 2–6 weeks)and extensive locomotor recovery.Furthermore,our previous report showed that PEG-fusion of severed sciatic motor axons was non-specific,i.e.,spinal motoneurons in PEG-fused animals were found to project to appropriate as well as inappropriate target muscles.In this study,we examined the consequences of PEG-fusion for sensory axons of the sciatic nerve.Young adult male and female rats(Sprague–Dawley)received either a unilateral single cut or ablation injury to the sciatic nerve and subsequent repair with or without(Negative Control)the application of PEG.Compound action potentials recorded immediately after PEG-fusion repair confirmed conduction across the injury site.The success of PEG-fusion was confirmed through Sciatic Functional Index testing with PEG-fused animals showing improvement in locomotor function beginning at 35 days postoperatively.At 2–42 days postoperatively,we anterogradely labeled sensory afferents from the dorsal aspect of the hindpaw following bilateral intradermal injection of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated horseradish peroxidase.PEG-fusion repair reestablished axonal continuity.Compared to unoperated animals,labeled sensory afferents ipsilateral to the injury in PEG-fused animals were found in the appropriate area of the dorsal horn,as well as inappropriate mediolateral and rostrocaudal areas.Unexpectedly,despite having intact peripheral nerves,similar reorganizations of labeled sensory afferents were also observed contralateral to the injury and repair.This central reorganization may contribute to the improved behavioral recovery seen after PEG-fusion repair,supporting the use of this novel repair methodology over currently available treatments.

Electronic and Optical Properties of O-Terminated Armchair Graphene Nanoribbons

The structure, electromagnetic and optical properties of the O-terminated graphene nanorib- bons with armchair edge are studied using first-principles theory. The results show that the O-terminated armchair edge are more stable than the H-terminated ribbons and show metal- lic character. Spin-polarized calculations reveal that the antiferromagnetic state are more stable than the ferromagnetic state. The energy band and density of states analyses show that the O-terminated armchair edge are antiferromagnetic semiconductors. Because of the terminated 0 atoms, the dielectric function has an evident red shift and the first peak is the strongest with its main contribution derived from the highest valence band. The peaks of the dielectric function, reflection, absorption, energy loss are related to the transition of electrons. Our results suggest that the O-terminated graphene nanoribbons have potential applications in nanoelectronics, opto-electric devices.

PROPERTIES AND MORPHOLOGY OF UNSATURATED POLYESTER/ACRYLATE-TERMINATED POLYURETHANE/ORGANO-MONTMORILLONITE NANOCOMPOSITES

Unsaturated polyester resin （UPR）/acrylate-terminated polyurethane （ATPU）/organo-modified montmorillonite （OMMT） nanocomposites were prepared by the in situ intercalative polymerization method. Samples were prepared by the sequential mixing, i.e. mixture of the ATPU and styrene （S） and OMMT were prepared in the first step; UPR was then added to the pre-intercalates of ATPU/S/OMMT. Results indicate that the mechanical properties and thermal properties of UPR/ATPU/OMMT nanocomposites greatly depend on the amount of ATPU and OMMT. Results show that the addition of ATPU could increase the impact strength of UPR/ATPU composites, but the tensile strength, flexural strength and heat resistance of the materials are obviously decreased. When the weight ratio between UPR, ATPU and OMMT were 82：15：3, the impact strength and heat distortion-temperature of nanocomposite were greatly improved, meanwhile there was little change for other properties of the nanocomposites. The synergistic enhancement effects of ATPU and OMMT on the composites were observed. The structures and morphology of the composites were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.

Low-cost fabrication of highly dispersed atomically-thin MoS2 nanosheets with abundant active Mo-terminated edges

In this work,highly dispersed atomically-thin MoS2 nanosheets were fabricated at one thousandth of the commercial cost using sepiolite(SEP)mineral nanofibers as carriers via a microwave hydrothermal method.Atomresolved microscopy revealed the MoS2 nanosheets were only 1–4 atomic layers thick.The Mo atoms anchored on the mineral surface served as nucleation sites for the nanosheet growth.The MoS2 layers were in staggered stacking yielding abundant atomic steps at the nanosheets’edges,where catalytically active molybdenum terminations dominated instead of the inert sulfur atoms commonly reported.DFT calculations disclosed that the bonding of Mo(MoS2)and O(SEP)at the MoS2/sepiolite(MSEP)interface enabled SEP to be a unique support,superior to the other minerals for growing such highly-dispersed ultrathin MoS2 architecture.In a typical photocatalyisis application,the MSEP demonstrated a significantly improved photocatalytic performance for RhB degradation compared with the MoS2 nanosheets assembled microspheres.This work provides an important new strategy for low-cost batch preparation of high quality 2D materials via assembly on mineral materials.

Electronic properties of hydrogen- and oxygen-terminated diamond surfaces exposed to the air

The electronic properties of hydrogen- and oxygen-terminated diamond surfaces exposed to the air are investigated by scanning probe microscopy （SPM）. The results indicate that for the hydrogen-terminated diamond surface a shallow acceptor above the valence-band-maximum （VBM） appears in the band gap. However, the oxygen-terminated diamond film exhibits a high resistivity with a wide band gap. Based on the density-functional-theory, the densities of states, corresponding to molecular adsorbate in hydrogenated and oxygenated diamond （100） surfaces, are studied. The results show that the shallow acceptor in the band gap for the hydrogen-terminated diamond film can be attributed to the interaction between the surface C H bonding orbitals and the adsorbate molecules, while for the oxygen-terminated diamond film, the interaction between the surface C-O bonding orbitals and the adsorbate molecules can induce occupied states in the valence-band.

Optical properties of F- and H-terminated armchair silicon nanoribbons

The optical properties of F- and H-terminated silicon nanoribbons with armchair edges（F- and H- terminated ASi NRs）are compared by using the first-principles within the density function theory（DFT） framework. The results show that compared with for H-terminated 7-ASi NR, the dielectric function for the F-terminated 7-ASi NR has a red shift, which is mainly attributed to the narrower band gap because of the σ–π mixing effect of F–Si bonds in F-terminated 7-ASi NR.The peaks in the energy loss spectra for both systems represent the characteristics associated with the plasma resonance,which correspond to the trailing edges in the reflection spectra. These properties show that the different terminated atoms in7-ASi NRs affect mainly the optical properties in the low energy range. Because of the rich optical properties, the 7-ASi NR could be a potential candidate for photoelectric nanodevice.

CURE CHARACTERISTICS OF HYDROXYL TERMINATED POLYBUTADIENE PREPOLYMER WITH BLOCKED TOLUENE DIISOCYANATE-Ⅱ

Cure characteristics of hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) prepolymer with avariety of blocked toluene diisocyanate (TDI) in the presence of triethylamine (TEA) andchloroacetic acid catalyst are reported. Phenol, thiophenol, p-chloropheno1, p-nitrophenol,p-cresol, resorcinol, naphthols, caprolactam and butylated-hydroxytoluene were used as blockingagents. Viscosity measurements have been carried out using a mixture of HTPB and blocked TDIin cyclohexanone in the presence of the catalysts at 50℃ and 60℃ using Haake rotational vis-cometer. Viscosity measurements have also been carried out with 50% solids such as ammonium sulphate along with HTPB and TDI adduct.

Surface Oxygen Adsorption and Electric Property of Hydrogen-Terminated Single Crystal Diamonds by UV/ozone Treatment

Surface terminations of diamond play an important role in determining the electric properties of diamond-based electronic devices.We report an ultraviolet/ozone(UV/ozone)treatment process on hydrogen-terminated single crystal diamond(H-diamond)to modulate the carrier behavior related to varying oxygen adsorption on surfaces.By UV/ozone treatments,the induced oxygen radicals are chemically adsorbed on the H-terminated diamond and replace the original adsorbed H,which is analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The concentration of oxygen adsorbed on surface increases from^3%to^8%with increasing the ozone treatment time from 20 s to 600 s.It is further confirmed by examining the wettability properties of the varying diamond surfaces,where the hydrophobic for H-termination transfers to hydrophilic for partly O-termination.Hall effect measurements show that the resistance(hole mobility)of the UV/ozone-treated H-diamond continuously increases(decrease)by two orders of magnitude with increasing UV/ozone treatment time from 20 s to 600 s.The results reveal that UV/ozone treatment becomes an efficient method to modulate the surface electrical properties of H-diamonds for further investigating the oxygenation effect on two-dimensional hole gas based diamond devices applied in some extreme environments.

A Self-Terminated Interleaver Design for Turbo Codes

Turbo codes can achieve excellent performance at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but the performance can be severely degraded if no trellis termination is employed. This paper proved that if trellis termination bits were appended to RSC1, trellis of RSC2 could be terminated by designing the interleaver properly, consequently, derived the designing condition of such self-terminated interleaver (STI). Then we presented an algorithm of implementing a kind of STI, which could terminate RSC2 as well on condition that the RSC1 was terminated. We verified the performance of STI for turbo codes by simulation, and the simulation results showed that turbo codes with STI outperformed interleavers that could not terminate RSC2 as well.

Preparation and Characterization of Carboxyl-terminated Poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile)-epoxy Resin Prepolymers for Fusion-bonded-epoxy Powder Coating

Liquid carboxyl-terminated poly（butadiene-co-acrylonitrile）（CTBN）-epoxy resin（EP） prepolymers were prepared with different contents of CTBN.The chemical reactions between EP and CTBN were characterized by Fourier ransform infrared（FTIR） spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography（GPC）.The scanning electron micrograph（SEM） and dynamic mechanical analysis（DMA） of curing films showed phase separation,and the rubber particles were finely dispersed in the epoxy matrix.Mechanical properties analysis of curing films showed that impact strength and elongation at break increased significantly upon the addition of CTBN,indicating good toughness of the modified epoxy resins.Thermogravimetric analysis（TGA） showed that the incorporation of CTBN had little effect on the thermal stability of EP.Fusion-bonded-epoxy（FBE） powder coatings modified with CTBN-EP prepolymers were prepared.The experimental results demonstrate the ability of CTBN-EP prepolymers,toughening technology to dramatically enhance the flexibility and impact resistance of FBE coatings without compromising other key properties such as corrosion protection.

<i>In Situ</i>ATR-FTIR Observation about Surfactant/Hydrogen-TerminatedSi(111) Interface in Solution

Development of novel functional devices has been expected by modification for Si surface. This study investigated immobilization and roles of the Si surface with flowing surfactant by in situ ATR-FTIR method. This result suggested that the surfactant prevented oxidation of the hydrogen-terminated Si surface from the higher concentration in aqueous solution. These would guard the Si surface against H2O molecules.

<i>In Situ</i>Imposing Bias ATR-FTIR Observation at Hydrogen Terminated Si(111) Electrode Surface-Modified with Adsorbed Monolayer

Since hydrogen-terminated Si surface has hydrophobicity, it is expected that adsorbed monomolecular film of surfactant will be formed on the Si surface in aqueous solution containing the surfactant. Such an adsorbed monolayer film is very effective for the development of a functional electrode. In this study, we have investigated the state of adsorption about an aerosol OT as the monolayer on the electrode surface and its orientation with hydrogen-terminated Si(111) surface by in situ ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. At this time, in situ observation performed while imposing bias to the electrode. The results suggested that the aerosol OT were desorbed by the oxidation of back-bonds in the Si atoms on the electrode surface under the imposing noble potential, although no change was observed especially when imposing less-noble potential.

Synthesis and Characterization of Carboxyl-terminated Polyethylene Glycol Functionalized Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles

Colloidal mesoporous silica nanoparticles functionalized with carboxy-terminated polyethylene glycol(CMS-PEG-COOH) were successfully synthesized by covalently grafting dicarboxy-terminated polyethylene glycol(HOOC-PEG-COOH) on the surface of the amino functionalized CMS nanoparticles with amide bond as a cross linker. Moreover, the structural and particle properties of CMS-PEG-COOH were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1 H-NMR), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), dynamic light scattering(DLS), nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, X-ray diffraction(XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR). The nanomaterials presented a relatively uniform spherical shape morphology with diameters of about 120 nm,and favorable dispersibility in weak acid solution. The CMSPEG-COOH exhibited no changes in the state of amorphous, while the mesopores sizes of 5.25 nm might provide the nanomaterials with large capacity for the loading and releasing of drugs. So the results indicated that CMSPEG-COOH might be a critical nanomaterial for drug delivery system in the future.

Wettability and Surface Energy of Hydrogen-and Oxygen-Terminated Diamond Films

The contact angle and surface energy values of diamond are systemically investigated in terms of surface treatments(hydrogen-and oxygen-terminations), structure feature(single crystal diamonds and polycrystalline diamond films), crystal orientation((100),(111) and mixed(100)/(111) orientations), different fluids(probes of polar deionized water and nonpolar di-iodomethane). It is found that the hydrophobic/hydrophilic characteristic and surface energy values of diamond are mainly determined by the surface hydrogen/oxygen termination, and less related to the structural features and crystal orientation. Based on the contact angle values with polar water and nonpolar di-iodomethane, the surface energies of diamond are estimated to be about 43 m J/m^2 for hydrogen-termination and about 60 m J/m^2 for oxygen-termination. Furthermore, the varying surface roughness of diamond and fluids with different polarities examined determine the variation of contact angles as well as the surface energy values. These results would be helpful for a more detailed understanding of the surface properties of diamond films for further applications in a broad number of fields, such as optical and microwave windows,biosensors, and optoelectronic devices, etc.

SYNTHESIS OF AN EPOXY-TERMINATED HYPERBRANCHED AROMATIC POLYESTER

An epoxy-terminated hyperbranched aromatic polyester (P3) was synthesized from a hyperbranched aromatic polyester containing carboxylic acid end groups (P1), which was derived from the condensation polymerization of the AB(2) monomer, 5-acetoxyisophthalic acid. Polymer P1 was converted into the polymeric acid chloride by reaction with thionyl chloride. The acid chloride was reacted with ethanol and glycidol to form a poly(ethyl ester) (P2) and an epoxy terminated material (P3), respectively. The reaction conditions in each step of these processes had to be controlled very carefully to avoid unwanted cross-linking reactions. The characterization of products and intermediates, including molecular weight distributions and thermal properties, are reported.

Silane Terminated Prepolymers: An Alternative to Silicones and Polyurethanes

Silane terminated prepolymers for adhesives, sealants and coatings are of great industrial importance. They are very important because of their low toxicity over polyurethanes, silicones, and solvent-based products. Hence, many pieces of literature which deal with the synthesis, properties and applications of this Silane terminated polymers hybrid system exist. Silylated polyether (MS polymers) and Silylated Polyurethane Polymers (SPUR) are the bases for numerous sealants, adhesives and coatings used worldwide. A hybrid system mixed with organic-polyurethane proportion and inorganic-alkoxysilane proportion combines the benefits of conventional polyurethane and silicone-based products. This article reviews the chemistry of MS polymers and SPUR and their advantages and disadvantages in silyl terminated prepolymer-based adhesives, sealants and coatings as well as provides information on different end applications.

Functionalization of Semi-terminated Silica Nanotubes

The semi-terminated silica nanotubes with 80-100 nm porous diameter were prepared with AI/Al2O3 （AAO） template by the sol-gel method, and then were functionalized by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane （APTES）. The functionalized silica nanotubes were characterized by transmission electron microscope （TEM）, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FT-IR）, nuclear magnetic resonance （1H-NMR and 29Si-NMR）. The results indicated that APTES was successfully functionalized onto the internal surface and the mouth of the silica nanotubes. It would provide the material base for silica nanotubes corking and delivery drug.

Study on the Effect of Carboxyl Terminated Butadiene Acrylonitrile (CTBN) Copolymer Concentration on the Decomposition Kinetics Parameters of Blends of Glycidyl Epoxy and Non-Glycidyl Epoxy Resin

The degradation of the epoxy system was studied for the prepared six blend samples with the incorporation of 0 wt% - 25 wt% carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile (CTBN) copolymer, on a dynamic basis using Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) technique under a nitrogen atmosphere. The blends were prepared by physical mixing and were cured with diamine. The degradation of each sample followed second-order degradation kinetics, which was calculated by Coats-Redfern equation using best-fit analysis. This was further confirmed by linear regression analysis. The validity of data was checked by t-test statistical analysis. From this value of reaction order, activation energy (E), and pre-exponential factor (Z) were calculated. It was found that the activation energy increased with the addition of liquid elastomer.
