A solvothermal method was applied to prepare magnetic nanoparticles. And after being coated by PEI, the nanoparticles were able to be modified by glutaraldehyde. Then the supports can be used to immobilize lipase covalently, as well asviaionic exchange.

The development of hybrid materials with unique optical properties has been a challenge for the creation of high-performance composites. The improved photophysical and photochemical properties observed when fluorophores interact with clay minerals, as well as the accessibility and easy handling of such natural materials, make these nanocomposites attractive for designing novel optical hybrid materials. Here, we present a method of promoting this interaction by conjugating dyes with chitosan. The fluorescent properties of conjugated dye–montmorillonite (MMT) hybrids were similar to those of free dye–MMT hybrids. Moreover, we analyzed the relationship between the changes in optical properties of the dye interacting with clay and its structure and defined the physical and chemical mechanisms that take place upon dye–MMT interactions leading to the optical changes. Conjugation to chitosan additionally ensures stable adsorption on clay nanoplatelets due to the strong electrostatic interaction between chitosan and clay. This work thus provides a method to facilitate the design of solid-state hybrid nanomaterials relevant for potential applications in bioimaging, sensing and optical purposes.

ABSTRACTAll but two of the fifteen physical and chemical mechanisms which are necessary to explain all the varied causes of color apply in one way or another to glass. These fifteen causes of color derive from a variety of physical and chemical mechanisms and are summarized in five groups with concentration on those mechanisms that apply to glass and the related glazes and enamels. Vibrations and simple excitations explain the colors of incandescence (e.g. flames, hot glass), gas excitations (neon tube, aurora), and vibrations and rotations (blue ice, water, glasses based on water). Ligand field effect colors are seen in transition metal compounds (turquoise, chrome oxide green, glasses based on copper sulfate) and impurities (ruby, emerald, many doped glasses). Molecular orbitals explain the colors of organic compounds (indigo, chlorophyll, organic glasses) and charge transfer compounds (blue sapphire, lapis lazuli, “beer-bottle” brown and chromate glasses). Energy bands are involved in the colors of metals and alloys (gold, brass, glassy metals), of semiconductors (cadmium yellow, vermillion, chalcogenide glasses), doped semiconductors (blue and yellow diamond), and color centers (amethyst, topaz, irradiated glass). Geometrical and physical optics are involved in the colors derived from dispersive refraction (rainbow, green flash, glass prism spectrum), scattering (blue sky, blue eyes, red sunset, ruby gold and opal glasses), interference (soap bubbles, iridescent beetles, cracks in glasses, interference filters), and diffraction (the corona aureole, diffraction grating spectrum).

AbstractPrevious studies show that certain physical and chemical properties of chemical compounds are closely related with their molecular structure. As a theoretical basis, it provides a new way of thinking by analyzing the molecular structure of the compounds to understand their physical and chemical properties. The molecular topological indices are numerical invariants of a molecular graph and are useful to predict their bioactivity. Among these topological indices, the eccentric-connectivity index has a prominent place, because of its high degree of predictability of pharmaceutical properties. In this article, we compute the closed formulae of eccentric-connectivity–based indices and its corresponding polynomial for water-soluble perylenediimides-cored polyglycerol dendrimers. Furthermore, the edge version of eccentric-connectivity index for a new class of dendrimers is determined. The conclusions we obtained in this article illustrate the promising application prospects in the field of bioinformatics and nanomaterial engineering.

In recent years, a large amount of emulsified oily wastewaters were produced from petroleum and food industries, resulting in severe environmental problems. In this study, a series of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-coated Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were prepared via one-step solvothermal method by introducing various amounts or types of PVP. The synthesized MNPs were characterized by multiple techniques, and their demulsification performances were evaluated in petrochemical and vegetable oil wastewaters, respectively. Results showed that the introduction of PVP in solvothermal process could significantly enhance the demulsification efficiency of MNPs, although excessive addition of PVP could not further increase its efficiency. Moreover, the effects of pH, surfactant concentration of wastewater, and the recycle number of MNPs on the demulsification performance were investigated in detail. It was found that the demulsification efficiency decreased with the increase of pH and surfactant concentration, and the synthetic MNPs were still effective after being reused for 5 cycles under acidic and neutral conditions. It is expected that the development of the PVP-coated MNPs can provide a simple and powerful route for the oily wastewater treatment.
