Stable aqueous amino-grafted silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs-NH2) were prepared via one-pot solution method. By grafting amino groups on the particle surface, the dispersion of SiNPs in water became very stable and clear aqueous solutions could be obtained. By incorporating SiNPs-NH2 into the hole transport layer of poly(3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene)/polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT'PSS), the performance of polymer solar cells composed of poly[2-methoxy,5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (MEH-PPV):[6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as active layer can be improved. SiNPs-NH2 are dispersed uniformly in the PEDOT:PSS solution and help form morphologies with small-sized domains in the PEDOT:PSS film. SiNPs-NH2 serve as screens between conducting polymer PEDOT and ionomer PSS to improve the phase separation and charge transport of the hole transport layer. As a result, the sheet resistance of PEDOT:PSS thin films is decreased from (93 ±5) × 10^5 to (13 ± 3) × 10^5 Ω/□. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of polymer solar cells was thus improved by 9.8% for devices fabricated with PEDOT'PSS containing 1 wt% of SiNPs-NH2, compared with the devices fabricated by original PEDOT:PSS.

Both terminated functional isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and block copolymers containing iPP segment are desirable for commercial applications. This paper provides a convenient, highly-efficient method to prepare hydroxyl-terminated isotactic polypropylene (iPP-t-OH) and functional di-block copolymer containing the iPP segment through a combination of coordination polymerization and coupling reaction. The coordination polymerization was catalyzed by TiCI4/MgCI2/AIEt3 catalyst system using ZnEt2 as chain transfer agent. Further, the Zn-terminated iPP was oxidized and subsequently hydrolyzed to provide iPP-t-OH. Soxhlet extraction and 13C NMR were used to calculate the isotacticity of iPP-t-OH. The degree of polymerization and the number of hydroxyl groups at the chain end of iPP-t-OH were measured by GPC and 1H NMR. Despite the high molecular weight and heterogeneous reaction, iPP-t-OH is effectively linked with PEG-t-NCO to produce di-block copolymers. DSC analysis of the di-block copolymer shows an obvious decrease in Tm and To, which indicated that PEG was successfully linked to the terminal end of iPP.

It is reported that alkali-metal borohydrides (MBH4, M = Li, Na and K) are efficient catalysts for ring opening polymerization (ROP) of α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs). Polypeptides are prepared in quantitative yields with relatively narrow molecular weight distributions (MWDs = 1.1-1.5) which depend on the reaction temperature. End groups of the produced polypeptide are studied in detail by MALDI-ToF MS, IH-NMR, 13C-NMR, IH-1H COSY and IH-13C HMQC analyses. The results indicate that α-hydroxy-ω-aminotelechelic polypeptides are formed which are suitable for post- polymerization functionalization.

A low operating pressure nanofiltration membrane is prepared by interfacial polymerization between m-phenylenediamine (MPDA) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) using PVC hollow fiber membrane as supporting. A series of PVC nanofiltration membranes with different molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) can be obtained by controlling preparation conditions. Chemical and morphological characterization of the membrane surface was carried out by FTIR-ATR and SEM. MWCO was characterized by filtration experiments. The preparation conditions were investigated in detail. At the optimized conditions (40 min air-dried time, aqueous phase containing 0.5% MPDA, 0.05% SDS and 0.6% acid absorbent, oil phase containing 0.3% TMC, and 1 min reaction time), under 0.3 MPa, water flux of the gained nanofiltration membrane reaches 17.8 L/m2-h, and the rejection rates of methyl orange and MgSO4 are more than 90% and 60%, respectively.

Porous PVDF blend membranes with good hydrophilicity and a symmetric structure were prepared by the phase inversion method using amphiphilic brush-like copolymers, P(MMA-r-PEGMA), as hydrophilic additive and triethylphosphate (TEP) as solvent. P(MMA-r-PEGMA) was synthesized by radical polymerization in TEP. Then the obtained amphiphilic copolymer solution was mixed with PVDF and TEP to prepare the dope solution. The effects of P(MMA-r-PEGMA) content and coagulation composition on membrane morphologies were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results demonstrated that, even blended with amphiphilic copolymers, a symmetric structure can be formed. Hollow fiber membranes with a mainly symmetric structure were also fabricated. The dry hollow fiber membranes showed good hydrophilicity, high flux and good rejection performance because of their hydrophilic surface and pores wall.

We prepared hyper-oxidized graphene(HOG) as a form of graphene derivative by additional oxidation of graphene oxide(GO) sheets. HOG, which formed more functional groups and isolated conjugated clusters on the sheets, accordingly showed high solubility in water and alcohols, high transmittance and film transparence, longer fluorescence decay constant time, and enhanced fluorescence in states of solution and solid. By contrast, GO has much weaker fluorescence in solution and its fluorescence is totally quenched in solid. The influences of concentration, metallic ions, and pH on HOG fluorescence in aqueous solution were also investigated in detail. Due to HOG's strong fluorescence, direct visualization was realized on substrates and in solution. In addition, direct 3D fluorescence visualizations of HOG phase in polymer composites were achieved. These results show the great potential of HOG in a broad range of applications, from biological labeling, probes, and drug carriers to highperformance composites and nanomanipulation.
