Preparation of Cationic Chitosan-Polyacrylamide Flocculant and Its Properties in Wastewater Treatment

Chitosan derived from crab shells, was used to prepare the graft polymer in aqueous solution with acrylamide （AM） and methacrylatoethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride （DMC） as raw materials and ceric ammonium nitrate （CAN） as initiator. The flocculation ability of the resulting polymer （PCAD） was studied in waste water treatment experiments. Its properties were determined on the basis of the transmittance of waste water after flocculation. The effects of ehitosan and DMC content on PCAD＇s flocculation ability were studied. Floeculation experiments were also undertaken under various pH conditions. According to the experimental data, the flocculation ability could be improved when chitosan content decreased in the raw material, but the monomer conversion would decrease obviously. When the ehitosan＇s content was more than 65%, AM and DMC groups were less on each chitosan molecule. So PCAD＇s flocculation ability was poor. Similarly, high content of DMC would result in low monomer conversion and high flocculation ability. PCAD molecules with more DMC group had more positive charges. It was favorable to flocculation. However, monomer conversion would decrease with the increase of DMC content. The suitable conditions were that chitosan and DMC contents were 65% and 15-20%, respectively. The experiment data showed that PCAD had good flocculation ability under weak acidic condition. Its ability would be weakened by strong acidic or alkaline condition. The flocculation efficiency was the best at pH of 5.5 when PCAD＇s dosage was 8mg-Lk Compared with cationic polymer （the copolymer of AM and DMC, PAD）, PCAD showed better flocculation ability under acid and neutral conditions, but worse ability under alkaline condition.

Molecular Dynamics Study of Interaction between Acrylamide Copolymers and Alumina Crystal

Four acrylamide polymer flocculants, anionic polyacrylamide P（AA-co-AM）, cationic poly- acrylamide P（DMB-co-AM）, nonionic polyacrylamide P（AM）, and hydrophobical polyacry- lamide P（OA-co-AM） have been prepared by copolymerizing with acrylic acid, cationic monomer dimethylethyl （acryloxyethyl） ammonium bromide （DMB） and hydrophobical monomer octadecyl acrylate with acrylamide. The interactions between the flocculants with the （012） surface of alumina crystal （A1203） have been simulated by molecular dynamics method. All the polymers can bind tightly with A1203 crystal, the interaction between the O of polymers and A1 of the （012） surface of A1203 is significantly strong. The order of binding energy is as follows： P（DMB-co-AM）〉P（OA-co-AM）〉P（AA-co-AM）〉P（AM）, implying a better flocculation performance of P（DMB-co-AM） than the others. Analy- sis indicates that binding energy is mainly determined by Coulomb interaction. Bonds are found between the O atoms of the polymers and the A1 atoms of A1203. The poly- mers＇ structures deform when they combine with A1203 crystal, but the deformation en- ergies are low and far less than non-bonding energies. Flocculation experiments in sus- pension medium of l%Kaolin show a transmittancy of 90.8% for 6 mg/L P（DMB-co-AM） and 73.0% for P（AM）. The sequence of flocculation performance of four polymers is P（DMB-co-AM）〉P（OA-co-AM）〉P（AA-co-AM）〉P（AM）, which is in excellent agreement with the simulation results of binding energy.

The Adsorption of Copper from Aqueous Solutions Using Acrylamide-Grafted Cellulose

In the present study, the aptitudes of acrylamide grafted cellulose to remove Cu（Ⅱ） ions from aqueous solutions were investigated. The preparation process was carried out through graft copolymerization of acrylamide onto cellulose, using ceric ammonium nitrate as an initiator. Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy was used to confirm and characterization poly acrylamide-grafted cellulose formation. Batch experiments of Cu（Ⅱ） ions adsorption on the grafted cellulose adsorbent were performed. Effects of initial pH of the solution, contact time and initial Cu（Ⅱ） concentration on the adsorption of Cu（Ⅱ） were studied. The maximum adsorption of Cu（Ⅱ） ion on grafted cellulose is observed 90 mg/g at the initial pH of 6. Equilibrium time was reached within 3h. Kinetic data were analyzed using the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order equations. The data fitted very well to the pseudo-second-order rate expression. The equilibrium data for adsorption isotherms of these metal ions on grafted cellulose were obtained using the Langmuir and Freundlich models and the Langmuir model was obtained to be in better correlation with the experimental data. The results showed that acrylamide-g-cellulose developed in this study could be an economical and effective adsorbent for application in removal of copper ion from water and waste waters.

Polyaniline Nanotubes Prepared by One-Step Synergistic Polymerization of Aniline and Acrylic Acid

The electrochemical property of electrode materials greatly depends on their morphologies. This report introduces a novel and facile synthesis method for polyaniline (PANI) nanotubes from one-step synergistic polymerization of aniline and acrylic acid in an aqueous solution induced by the addition of ammonium persulfate (APS). The molar ratio of aniline to AA (X{ani/AA}) is found to have great in fluence on the morphology of the produced PANI. Hollow PANI nanotubes with an average inner diameter of 80 nm and outer diameter of 180 nm can be mainly produced when X{ani/AA} is not higher than 1. The electrochemical properties of the prepared PANI nanotubes have been investigated using a three-electrode system. The specific capacitance of PANI nanotubes can reach 436 F/g at a current density of 0.5 A/g in 1 mol/L H2SO4 solution. Furthermore, the specific capacitance of the PANI nanotube maintains 89.2% after 500 charging/discharging cycles at a current density of 0.5 A/g, indicating a good cycling stability.

AIM:To investigate the association between hepatocel-lular carcinoma (HCC) susceptibility and a 12-bp inser-tion/deletion polymorphism (rs6147150) in the 3'UTR of ErbB4.METHODS:Using a case-control design,the rs6147150 genotypes in 270 patients with HCC and 270 healthy controls were determined by direct polymerase chain reaction and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between the polymorphism and cancer risk.RESULTS:Computational modeling suggested that rs6147150 was located in the seed region of hsa-let-7c,a potential target sequence in ErbB4 3'UTR.Logistic re-gression analysis showed that,compared with individu-als homozygous for wild-type,heterozygotes [adjusted odds ratio (OR)=1.48,95% confidence interval (CI)= 1.03-2.17,P=0.034] and individuals homozygous for 12-bp del/del (OR=2.50,95% CI=1.37-4.56,P=0.001) were at significantly higher risk of HCC.Car-riers of the "del" allele of rs6147150 had a 1.59-fold increased risk for HCC (95% CI=1.22-2.07,P=0.003).CONCLUSION:rs6147150 may be associated with HCC risk,in part through let-7c-mediated regulation,and may be involved in the pathogenesis of HCC in Chi-nese populations.

Swelling Behaviors of Polyaniline-Poly(Acrylic Acid) Hydrogels

Using poly（acrylic acid） （PAA） aqueous solution, NaOH aqueous solution, aniline （An） and ammonium persulfate （APS）, PAn-PAA hydrogels with a semi-interpenetrating structure connected by physical interlocks, chemical ion bonds and hydrogen bonds were prepared. The swelling properties of the hydrogels in solutions of different pH values （adjusted by adding NaOH or HCI） were studied. All the hydrogels prepared have similar swelling curves （the curves of equilibrium swelling ratio vs. pH value） and reach their maximum swelling at pH of 8 - 10. The maximum swelling ratio of the hydrogels is dependent on composition, including molecular weight of PAA, polymer content of the hydrogel, and molar ratios of AA to An, APS to An, and NaOH to AA, And the compositional dependence of the swelling capacity of PAn-PAA hydrogels was also studied.

Rheological behavior of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide solution flowing through a molecular weight adjusting device with porous medium

The separate-layer injection in different interlayers and the injection of the same-molecular-weight polymer so- lution in a layer are necessary in the polymer flooding process because of heterogeneous multilayer sandstone reservoirs in EOR projects. To alleviate the matching problems between the layer permeability and the injected polymer molecular weight, a molecular weight adjusting device with porous medium was designed on the basis of mechanical degradation principle. In terms of four variables （polymer concentration, pore diameter, length of shear component and flow rate ）, the theological behavior of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide （HPAM） solu- tion flowing through the device was investigated in detail. The change of these variables is able to control the shear rate of HPAM solutions through ceramic foam, and achieve the desired degree of shear degradation and the final theological parameters-viscosity loss, viscoelasticity and pressure drop. Therefore, a linear relationship between viscosity loss and shearing rate was established so as to obtain the targeted viscosity easily. Field tests in the Daqing Oil Field showed that the polymer molecular weight could drop 20% to 50%. In a word, the results could guide the industrial application of the novel device and the further study of polymer degradation flowing through the porous medium.

The Effect of Casting Solvent on the Electrical Property of Polyaniline/Polyacrylonitrile

Blends of dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid doped polyaniline （PANI-DBSA） and polyacryionitrile （PAN） dissolved in either CHCh/DMF or CHCl3/DMSO mixture were solution cast. The conductivity of the blends with various compositions was measured and the doped ：xtent of PANI- DBSA in different casting solvent systems was studied. Solution blends prepared from CHCh/DMSO displayed higher conductivity than those obtained via CHCh/DMF. The dedoping reaction of PANI-DBSA in CHCl3/DMF identified by UV-Vis and FTIR analysis contributed to the lower conductivity of PANI-DBSA/PAN blend.

Enhanced performances of polypropylene membranes by molecular layer deposition of polyimide

Molecular layer deposition （MLD） for the deposition of polyimide （PI） at low temperature of 110 ℃ has been firstly introduced into the field of membrane separation. With the optimized MLD deposition parameters, such low de- position temperature has successfully expanded the application of MLD for the surface modification of polymeric materials. Globular PI particulates grow on both the free surfaces as well as the pore walls of the polypropylene （PP） membranes as isolated islands during progressive precursor exposures. The PI-deposited PP membranes ex- hibit synergistically improved performances in various aspects. Evidently improved surface hydrophilicity and per- meation performance （30%） have been achieved v/a the MLD deposition of polyimide films. The overall separation efficiency maintained higher than 85% even after 250 cycles of MLD deposition. More importantly, the thermal sta- bility has been improved and the integrity of the porous structure for PI-deposited PP membranes has been well preserved even after harsh treatment, which ensures its potential application in industries.

Electrochemical Polymerization of Acrylamide Film on Mild Steel Electrode for Corrosion Protection

Polyacrylamide （PAM） film was electrosynthesized on mild steel by cyclic voltammetry using Ce （IV） salt-oxalic acid as supporting electrolyte. Polymerization was initiated by a free radical that was formed by the fast reaction of oxalic acid and Ce （IV）. The electrolysis of the reaction solution resulted in regeneration of Ce （IV）, which could oxidize oxalic acid to produce radicals. The effect of temperature on the yield of electroinitiated polymerization was performed. The potential sweep rates were changed to achieve the polymer film with different thickness. Protective properties of the PAM film for corrosion of mild steel in 1 M NaCI aqueous solution were investigated by potentiodynamic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS）. The structure of PAM film on mild steel was investigated by using physicochemical methods such as elemental analysis of C, H, N, physical chemical methods and FTIR spectrometer. The influence of scan repetition and scan rate on the formation of polymer film was studied at a current density of 1 mA/cm2. The results of these studies reveal that the corrosion resistance of the PAM-coated mild steel was significantly higher and the corrosion rate was considerably lower than that of uncoated steel. The PAM film was formed with lower sweep rate leading to more positive shift of corrosion potential and greater charge transfer resistance, reflecting higher inhibition for corrosion of the mild steel.

Fabrication,structure and surface charges of albumin-chitosan hybrids

Protein-polymer hybrids consisting of protein and natural polymers or synthetic polymers exhibit superior properties to un- modified proteins, generating a high demand for these materials in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. Herein, protein-polysaccharide hybrids were fabricated via the formation of an amide bond between bovine serum albumin （BSA） and chitosan （CS） using N-ethyl-N-（3-dimethylaminopropyl） carbodiimide hydrochloride （EDC） as the couple reagent. FTIR spectrum reveals that the carboxyl group of BSA conjugated with the amino group of chitosan backbone. The molecular weight of BSA-CS hybrids was identified by matrix-associated laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectra （MALDI-TOF MS） and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis （SDS-PAGE）. The maximum number of chitosan chains binding to each BSA molecule was estimated as 6, and the optimal number was estimated as 2. In addition, the secondary structure and surface property of BSA were dependent upon the number of polymer conjugating on protein. The secondary structure of BSA was not significantly changed, if a few chitosans were coupled with BSA. By further increasing the molar ratio of chitosan to BSA, the secondary structure of BSA was markedly damaged. The surface＇s negative charges of modified BSA also decreased. The result of native polyaerylamide gel electrophoresis （native-PAGE） also demonstrated the changes in surface charges and molecular weight of BSA-CS hybrids.

Polyrotaxane-based triblock copolymers synthesized via ATRP of N-isopropylacrylamide initiated from the terminals of polypseudorotaxane of Br end-capped pluronic 17R4 and β-cyclodextrins

Thermo-responsive polyrotaxane （PR）-based triblock copolymers were synthesized via the atom transfer radical polymeriza- tion （ATRP） of N-isopropylacrylamide initiated with self-assemblies made from a distal 2-bromoisobutyryl end-capped Plu- ronic 17R4 （PPOI4-PEG24-PPOI4） with a varying amount of β-cyclodextrins （β-CDs） in the presence of Cu（I）C1/PMDETA at 25 ~C in aqueous solution. The molecular structure was characterized by means of ~H NMR, FTIR, WXRD, GPC, TGA and DSC analyses. About half of [3-CDs are still entrapped on the Pluronic 17R4 chain while the number of incorporated NIPAAm monomers is nearly a double feed value in the resulting copolymers. The aggregate morphologies in aqueous solution were evidenced by TEM observations. A two-step thermo-responsive transition arising from a combination of a polypseudorotaxane middle block with poly（N-isopropylacrylamide） flanking blocks was also demonstrated by turbidity measurements. Given their thermo-responsive behavior in aqueous solution, these PR-based triblock copolymers show the potential to be used as smart materials for the controlled drug delivery systems, biosensors, and the like.
