The composition and struc- ture of the targeted resultants were characterized with 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR spec- troscopy and gel permeation chromatography. The various block copolymers were success- fully employed to fabricate the spherical micelle with core-shell morphological structure. The poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) block-dependent characteristics of the copolymeric micelles were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy. The solubilization of the hydrophobic ibuprofen as a model drug in the micelle solution was also explored. It was found that the drug loading contents are related to the micellar morphology structure determined by hydrophilic chain length in the copolymer.展开更多

Micro PCMs containing paraffin with a melting point of 55 ℃ in polystyrene-divinylbenzene(P(St-DVB)) were prepared by suspension-like polymerization. The characterization of microcapsules by FTIR, DSC and TG proved that paraffin had been successfully encapsulated and the proportion of encapsulated paraffin was 49.8%—58.5%. The effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) with different molecular weights serving as the suspension stabilizer were investigated in detail. The results illustrated that the type of PVP had a significant influence on the particle size of Micro PCMs. The average diameter of Micro PCMs decreased with an increasing molecular weight of PVP. Moreover, the crosslinker-postaddition method was adopted in this study to improve the morphology of P(St-DVB) Micro PCMs. SEM images showed that when the DVB was added at the 2nd hour of polymerization the morphology of obtained P(St-DVB) Micro PCMs exhibited good sphericity since it could avoid the influence of cross-linker agent during the nucleation period.展开更多

The effects of discharge power on the nanocrystalline morphology were investigated. Larger power tends to produce longer nanocrystallines. 3 mm long nanowires were produced at the largest power in our experiment. TEM image and the sharp electronic diffraction spots in SAD suggest that the nanoparticles have a single crystal phase. The chemical structure of the nanocrystalline has been studied through FTIR, EDX etc. This novel polymerization method could have great applications in fabricating functional polymeric nanocrystallines.展开更多

Mainly, the nanogels are promising novel pharmaceutical carriers for small biologically active agents, bin macromolecules and can be chemically modified to incorporate various ligands for targeted drug delivery. This important factor has stimulated research on dissimilar science field such as nanotechnology and biotechnology, polymer and materials sciences, biochemistry, radiation chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences. A multitude of techniques have been described for the synthesis of this nanomaterial from polymers. However, the use of ionizing radiation (γ, e-) has demonstrated to be especially suitable for obtaining polymeric nanogels with a high degree of purity for biomedical applications, although the gamma radiation has not been widely utilized for these purposes. The aim of this paper is to develop the synthesis of PVP (polyvynilpyrrolidone) nanogels by gamma irradiation, for their evaluation as potential pharmaceutical carriers. Experiments were performed using argon saturated solution of PVP (0.1-1%). Crosstinking reactions were carried out in a gamma irradiation chamber with a 60Co source (ISOGAMMA LLCo), at room temperature. The PVP concentration influence was evaluated in PVP solutions (0.1% and 0.25%) at 15 kGy. The SEM (scanning electron microscopy), ATR (attenuate total reflection spectroscopy), DLS (dynamic light scattering), and viscosimetry were used as characterization techniques.展开更多

The nanoparticles were characterized by telescope electron microscopy (TEM), laser light scattering technique (LLS) and infrared spectrum (IR). LLS test showed that the optimal prepared ADM-loaded nanoparticles had an average size 18.8nm and a narrow size distribution between 15nm and 32nm, which was consistent with the result obtained by TEM. And 1R results indicated that the nanoparticles consisted of ADM and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).展开更多

The rate of copolymerization and particle size were measured respectively. The kinetic equation of copolymerization system is obtained as Rpat 60℃. The overall activation energy for copolymerization system was computed as 87.3kJ.mol-1. Effect of additives of hydroquinone and dioxane on copolymerization was discussed. The polymerization is retarded by hydroquinone and accelerated by dioxane, which confirms the free radical copolymerization of AN with NVP.展开更多

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is introduced to modify the interface of substrate. The transmittance and bending performance are improved by optimizing the number of spraying times and the solution concentration and controlling the annealing time. The spraying times of 20, the concentration of 2 mg/mL and the annealing time of 10 min are chosen to fabricate the PVP/AgNWs films. The transmittance of PVP/AgNWs films is 53.4%----67.9% at 380---780 nm, and the sheet resistance is 30 f~/n which is equivalent to that of commercial indium tin oxide (1TO). During cyclic bending tests to 500 cycles with bending radius of 5 ram, the changes of resistivity are negligible. The performance of PVP/AgNW transparent electrodes has little change after being exposed to the normal environment for 1 000 h. The adhesion to polymeric substrate and the ability to endure bending stress in AgNWs network films are both significantly improved by introducing PVP. Spraying method makes AgNWs form a stratified structure on large-area polymer substrates, and the vacuum annealing method is used to weld the AgNWs together at junctions and substrates, which can improve the electrical conductivity. The experimental results indicate that PVP/AgNW transpar- ent electrodes can be used as transparent conductive electrodes in flexible organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).展开更多

The crystalline phase, compositions, morphology, microstructure, surface area and band gap energy of the Bi2WO6 are characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray energy-dispersive spectrum, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and absorption spectra.

The surfaetant SDS en- hances the surface area and photocatalytic activity of Bi2WO6, while the surfactant PVP has an opposite effect. Under Xe lamp irradiation, the Bi2WO6 sample prepared in the presence of SDS can degrade dye Rhodamine B (RhB) effectively.展开更多

Morphology and structure of PPy films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Electrochemical behaviors of PPy films were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that multi-potential steps polymerization improves the conductivity of PPy films and large polymer films can be peeled off easily from the electrode without cracking. Lithium perchlorate and oxalic acid provide appropriate dopants for PPy polymerization. It was observed that the polymerization time and the current density have a crucial influence on the surface morphology of PPy films. Smooth and compact PPy films could be generated under long polymerization time and low current density. Multi-potential steps polymerization decreases the occurrence of peroxidation, which improves the conductivity of PPy films. The parameters for multi-potential steps polymerization have been optimized.展开更多
