Conjugated Proteins02:50

Conjugated Proteins

27.5K
Simple proteins and protein complexes contain only amino acids. In contrast, many other proteins, called conjugated proteins, covalently bond with non-protein moieties.
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...

Polymers

40.5K
The word polymer is derived from the Greek words “poly” which means “many” and “mer” which means “parts”. Polymers are long chains of molecules composed of repeating units of smaller molecules, known as monomers. They either occur naturally, such as DNA and proteins, or can be constructed synthetically, like plastics. They have varied structural characteristics, such as linear chains, branched chains, or complex networks, that contribute to the...

Porosity and Absorption of Aggregate01:20

Porosity and Absorption of Aggregate

763
Aggregates contain pores of varying sizes; while some are completely enclosed within the particles, others open onto the surface, allowing water to penetrate. The porosity of aggregates is a major factor contributing to the overall porosity of concrete, given that aggregates constitute about three-quarters of concrete's volume.
When all pores in an aggregate are filled with water, the aggregate is considered saturated and surface-dry. If left in dry air, water will evaporate until the...

Porosity in Cement Paste01:18

Porosity in Cement Paste

450
The porosity of concrete is a measure of the void spaces within its structure. These spaces impact its strength and durability significantly. When water and cement interact, a chemical reaction called hydration creates a semi-solid paste. This paste includes combined water, making up approximately 23% of the cement's dry mass, and gel water, which fills minuscule voids known as gel pores, accounting for about 28% of the cement gel volume.
The balance of water to cement in the mix is...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) are versatile materials with tunable porous structures.
  • Traditional synthesis methods often result in broad pore size distributions, limiting applications.
  • Controlling porosity is crucial for optimizing material performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of simple inorganic salts on the synthesis of N-containing CMPs.
  • To tune the porous network properties of poly(triphenylamine) (PTPA).
  • To enhance the BET surface area and control pore size distribution of PTPA.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of PTPA using Buchwald-Hartwig (BH) cross-coupling reactions.
  • Addition of simple inorganic salts during polymer synthesis.
  • Analysis of porous network properties including pore size distribution and BET surface area.
  • Correlation of salt properties (anion/cation size) with material characteristics.
  • Application of the Beijing-Xi'an Jiaotong (BXJ) method, involving Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs).

Main Results:

  • Inorganic salts significantly narrowed the pore size distribution of PTPA to the microporous range.
  • BET surface area of PTPA increased dramatically from 58 to 1152 m² g⁻¹.
  • The surface area of PTPA could be fine-tuned by varying the anion and cation sizes of the inorganic salts.
  • A decrease in surface area was observed with an increase in the ionic radius of the salts.

Conclusions:

  • Simple inorganic salts are effective in controlling the porosity of N-containing CMPs.
  • The BXJ method, utilizing HSPs, explains the salt's effect on polymer synthesis and properties.
  • This salt-tuning approach offers a new strategy for designing high-surface-area microporous polymers.
