[Abstract](620) [FullText HTML] [PDF 475KB](0)
Abstract:
A simple aqueous two-phase extraction system (ATPS) of PEG/phosphate was proposed for selective separation and enrichment of proteins. The combination of ATPE with HPLC was applied to identify the partition of proteins in two phases. Five proteins (bovine serum albumin, Cytochrome C, lysozyme, myoglobin, and trypsin) were used as model proteins to study the effect of phosphate concentration and pH on proteins partition. The PEG/phosphate system was firstly applied to real human saliva and plasma samples, some proteins showed obviously different partition in two phases. The primary results manifest the selective separation and enrichment of proteins in ATPS provided the potential for high abundance proteins depletion in proteomics.

Abstract:
The effect of an adsorbed anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) on electron transfer (ET) reaction between ferricyanide aqueous solution and decamethylferrocene (DMFc) located on the adjacent organic phase was investigated for the first time by thin layer method. The adsorption of SDBS at the interface resulted in a decay in the cathodic plateau current of bimolecular reaction with increasing concentrations of SDBS in aqueous phase. However, the rate constant of electron transfer (ket)increased monotonically as the SDBS concentrations increased from 0 to 200 μmol/L. The experimental results showed that SDBS formed patches on the interface and influenced the structure of electrical double layer.

Abstract:
Fluorinated poly(ethylene oxide) propyl-b-polydimethylsiloxane-b-propyl fluorinated poly(ethylene oxide) (FPEO-b-PDMS-b-FPEO) was synthesized by a free radical addition of carbon–hydrogen of polyether segments of poly(ethylene oxide) propyl-bpolydimethylsiloxane-b-propyl poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-b-PDMS-b-PEO) to hexafluoropropylene (HFP) using tert-butyl peroxypivalate as an initiator. In order to reduce the possibility of side reaction, the protection and deprotection via silylation were used for the end-hydroxyls in PEO-b-PDMS-b-PEO chain. The structure of Intermediates and FPEO-b-PDMS-b-FPEO was confirmed by means of Fourier transform infrared and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The effects of amount of initiator, reaction temperature and time on free radical addition were investigated in detail.

Abstract:
A new kind of multifunctional macromolecular initiator with Sn-C bonds and polydiene arms was synthesized by living anionic polymerization. At first, polydiene-stannum chloride (PD-SnCl 3 ) was prepared by the reaction of n-butyl-Li (n-BuLi), stannic chloride (SnCl4) and diene. Then PD-SnCl 3 was used to react with the dilithium initiator to prepare the multifunctional organic macromolecular initiators. The result suggested that the initiators had a remarkable yield by GPC, nearly 90%. By using these multifunctional macromolecular initiators, styrene and butadiene were effectively polymerized via anionic polymerization, which gave birth to novel miktoarm star copolymers. The relative molecular weight and polydispersity index, microstructure contents, copolymerization components, glass transition temperature (Tg) and morphology of the miktoarm star copolymers were investigated by GPC-UV,1H NMR, DSC and TEM, respectively.

Abstract:
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.
