A novel kind of AgNPs catalyst was synthesized by in-situ reduction method using poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl propyl sulfonic acid-co-2-hydroxyethyl methclate) [short as P(AMPS-co-HEMA)] hydrogel as matrices and AgNO3as a metal precursor. The structure of the composite hydrogel was characterized by Scan Electrical Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that AgNPs were binded with end group and most of the particles were isolated and uniformly distributed on the P(AMPS-co-HEMA). The catalytic properties in the reduction reaction of 4-nitrophenol(shorted as 4-NP) to 4-aminophenol(shorted as 4-AP) were studied in detail, and the result showed that conversion rate and conversion efficiency attained 97.56% and 0.9671 mmol/g·min when the amount of AgNPs was 9mg, [NaBH4] was 2.0×10−1mol/L, [4-NP] was 2.0×10−2mol/L and the total volume of solution was 50 mL, respectively.

A semi-interpenetrating network hydrogel with pore structure (P-S-IPN) was prepared by solution polymerization with 4-acetyl acryloyl ethyl acetate (AAEA) and crylic acid (AA) as monomers, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the second network and polyving akohol 2000(PEG2000) as a pore-foaming agent. Gold nanoparticle composite hydrogel (GNPs gel) was obtained through in-situ reduction reaction by using P-S-IPN as a template. P-S-IPN exhibits excellent mechanical strength, the maximum compressive strength is 14.0 Mpa. The influence of the dosage of PEG2000 on the swelling/deswelling properties of P-S-IPN and GNPs gel was investigated. The pore structures could shorten the time that P-S-IPN takes to reach swelling equilibrium from 170min to 75min, improve the ability of P-S-IPN to absorb AuCl4-. The swelling/deswelling properties of GNPs gel under an applied voltage showed when the concentration of NaCl solutions exceed 0.025mol/L, the hydrogel swells, when the concentration of NaCl solutions is below 0.025mol/L, it deswells.

Steadily growing interest in magnetic characterization of organic compounds for therapeutic purposes or of other irregularly shaped specimens calls for refinements of experimental methodology to satisfy experimental challenges. Encapsulation in capsules remains the method of choice, but its applicability in precise magnetometry is limited. This is particularly true for minute specimens in the single milligram range as they are outweighed by the capsules and are subject to large alignment errors. We present here a completely new experimental methodology that permits 30-fold in situ reduction of the signal of capsules by substantially restoring the symmetry of the sample holder that is otherwise broken by the presence of the capsule. In practical terms it means that the standard 30 mg capsule is seen by the magnetometer as approximately a 1 mg object, effectively opening the window for precise magnetometry of single milligram specimens. The method is shown to work down to 1.8 K and in the whole range of the magnetic fields. The method is demonstrated and validated using the reciprocal space option of MPMS-SQUID magnetometers; however, it can be easily incorporated in any magnetometer that can accommodate straw sample holders (i.e., the VSM-SQUID). Importantly, the improved sensitivity is accomplished relying only on the standard accessories and data reduction method provided by the SQUID manufacturer, eliminating the need for elaborate raw data manipulations.
