Abstract:In this work, the caffeine and some catechin compounds (+) C, EC, and EGCG were extracted from green tea by using two molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) as sorbent materials in a multi-solid-phase extraction (SPE) process known as MISPE (molecular imprinted solid-phase extraction). To obtain synthesis of MIP, (+) catechin (and caffeine) was employed as the template, AM (and MAA) as the monomer, EGDMA as the crosslinker, and AIBN as the initiator. A solution of (+) catechin (and caffeine) (0.2mg/mL in methanol) was utilized in the solid extraction cartridges following loading, washing, and elution procedures with acetonitrile, methanol, and methanol/acetic acid (90/10, %v/v) as the solvents, respectively. This multi-solid-phase extraction protocol was applied for the extraction of caffeine and some catechin compounds from green tea. A comparison was made between the results obtained with the caffeine and (+) catechin MIP cartridges, blank polymer, and a traditional C18 reversed-phase cartridge. It was thereupon found that the recovery of caffeine by the caffeine-MIP-based sorbent used in this work was almost two and four times greater than that by a commercially available C18 material.

Abstract:A novel β-cyclodextrin/poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibrous membrane (β-CD/PVAnfm) with the function of molecular capture was successfully prepared by electrospinning homogeneous aqueous solutions of β-CD and PVA. β-CD/PVAnfm was characterized by scanning electronic microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The viscosity of β-CD/PVA solution was increased with the concentration of β-CD and high viscosity of β-CD/PVA solution was beneficial to form more uniform nanofibers. The interaction between β-CD and PVA in the solution was studied by rheological measure and 1H NMR spectra. The rheological change of electrospinning solutions was attributed to the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between β-CD and PVA in the solution, which was confirmed by 1H NMR spectra. The electrochemical measurement showed that β-CD/PVAnfm could recognize small hydrophobic molecules such as ferrocene (Fc) by forming inclusion complexes. The molecular capturing ability of β-CD/PVAnfm was increased with the amount of β-CD in composite nanofibrous membrane. The results suggested that the composite nanofibrous membrane was potentially applied to purification/separation processes, electrochemical sensor, drug delivery, and so on. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:Using the atomistic nonequilibrium Green's function, we find that thermal conductance of carbon nanotubes with presence of topological lattice imperfects is remarkably reduced, due to the strong Rayleigh scattering of high-frequency phonons. Phonon transmission across multiple defects behaves as a cascade scattering based with the random phase approximation. We elucidate that phonon scattering by structural defects is related to the spatial fluctuations of local vibrational density of states (LVDOS). An effective method of tuning thermal transport in low-dimensional systems through the modulation of LVDOS has been proposed. Our findings provide insights into experimentally controlling thermal transport in nanoscale devices. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.

Abstract:The continuous effort to improve efficiency, reduce particle, and greenhouse gase emissions leads to the emergence of the concept more electric. This concept helps to boost the performance as well as the flexibility of the domestic and vehicular applications; however, on the other hand, it excessively burdens current power networks (including vehicle power systems). In order to remedy this problem, simultaneous usage of renewable sources and energy storages is encouraged. A multiconverter system is commonly adopted to process the renewable power in form of distributed generation. However, due to the discrete structure of such systems, power flow and load regulation are coordinated via communication channel, which inevitably reduces the reliability and dynamic response of the system. This paper presents the concept of multiport power electronic interface (MPEI) for renewable energy sources and storages. With a unified modular topology and highly integrated digital control system, controlled quasi-current source is achieved for each input port in both steady-state and transient power-sharing modes. MPEI analysis, modeling, design, and system operation are treated in a systematic manner in this paper. Both power stages and digital control system are implemented for a five-port MPEI. Experiments are conducted under meaningful operation scenarios. The results are presented to prove the feasibility of MPEI concept and system design methodology. © 2011 IEEE.

Abstract:A novel strategy was proposed to fabricate carbon fiber microelectrodes (CFMEs). The resultant CFMEs were characterized using scan electron microscopy (SEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Compared to the conventional method, the proposed method only needs a simple heating step for achieving CFMEs without additional pulled, sealed and back-filled procedure. The electrochemical behaviors of 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) at fabricated CFMEs in pH (2.0-9.0) was for the first time studied and demonstrated a two-charge and two-proton transference process. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications.

Abstract:Severe deformation which was induced by internal (residual) stress was observed on the MOEMS focusing device without driving voltage. Based on beam suspended membrane, FEM software COMSOL Multiphysics was used to predict the deformation induced by internal stress, model parameters (beam width and length), boundary condition of the chip. Found the parameters which can make the membrane be relative flat initially. Expanded the model including ring shaped electrode, using COMSOL coupled fields(AC/DC-Electrostatics module, Structural Mechanics-Solid Mechanics module and Mathematics-Deformed Mesh-Moving Mesh module), found the inner radius of ring shaped electrode which can get perfect parabolic shape of membrane with large maximum relative deflection under driving voltage. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
