The chemical interaction of high-nitrogen cellulose ether with acetic, propionic, butyric and isobutyric acids has been studied. The general laws and features of the electrophilic substitution of functional groups of cellulose nitroesters are revealed. The preferred directions of the chemical interaction of cellulose nitrate with carboxylic acid chlorides are established: O-acylation of nitrate and hydroxyl groups; O-acylation of the glucopyranose ring; O-acylation of the ether bond with depolymerization of the chain of an SC molecule; hydrolysis of nitrate groups; destruction of the chain of a macromolecule of nitric acid ester with the formation of water-soluble organic compounds. The structure, properties and possibilities of using synthesized mixed cellulose ethers were studied. Effective methods have been developed for the chemical modification of cellulose nitrates with carboxylic acid chlorides. The probable directions of the reaction of the interaction of cellulose nitrates with electrophilic reagents are predicted based on quantum-chemical calculations of point charges on the atoms of the reacting molecules. The reactivity of highly substituted cellulose nitrates in reactions with carboxylic acid chlorides has been established. The optimal conditions for the interaction of cellulose nitrates with carboxylic acid chlorides have been identified and a mathematical model of the reaction kinetics has been constructed. The possibility of a directed change in the composition of chemically modified cellulose nitrates depending on the synthesis conditions has been established. As a result of the combined use of physicochemical research methods, the chemical composition was determined and the structure of the synthesized compounds was determined: cellulose acetyl nitrates, cellulose propionyl nitrates, cellulose butyryl nitrates, and cellulose isobutyryl nitrates. Using gel chromatography, it was found that the molecular weight characteristics of the synthesized samples are directly dependent on the conditions of their synthesis. It was found that electrophilic substitution of the functional groups of cellulose nitrate proceeds more intensively in the pyridine medium.

Abstract Evidence is presented for the existence of quinone groups and aromatic hydroxyl groups on the surface of carbon black particles. This evidence is based largely upon polarographic analyses of slurries of carbon blacks. A mechanism for the chemical interaction of carbon blacks with elastomers is proposed on the basis of these functional groups.

Administration of an antiviral drug, acyclovir via the oral route leads to low and variable bioavailability (15-30%). Therefore, this research work was aimed to enhance bioavailability of acyclovir by nanocrystallization technique. The drug nanocrystals were prepared by anti-solvent precipitation method in which different stabilizers were used. The formed nanocrystals are subjected to biopharmaceutical characterization including solubility, particle size and in-vitro release. SEM studies showed nano-crystals were crystalline nature with sharp peaks. The formulated drug nanocrystals were found to be in the range of 600-900nm and formulations NC7 and NC8 showed marked improvement in dissolution velocity when compared to pure drug, thus providing greater bioavailability. FT-IR and DSC studies revealed the absence of any chemical interaction between drug and polymers used.

Graphene and graphene oxide (GO) usually have grain boundaries (GBs) in the process of synthesis and preparation. Here, we “attach” GBs into GO, a new molecular configuration i.e., polycrystalline graphene oxide (PGO) is proposed. This paper aims to provide an insight into the stability and mechanical properties of PGO by using the molecular dynamics method. For this purpose, the “bottom-up” multi-structure-spatial design performance of PGO and the physical mechanism associated with the spatial structure in mixed dimensions (combination of sp2 and sp3) were studied. Also, the effect of defect coupling (GBs and functional groups) on the mechanical properties was revealed. Our results demonstrate that the existence of the GBs reduces the mechanical properties of PGO and show an “induction” role during the tensile fracture process. The presence of functional groups converts in-plane sp2 carbon atoms into out-of-plane sp3 hybrid carbons, causing uneven stress distribution. Moreover, the mechanical characteristics of PGO are very sensitive to the oxygen content of functional groups, which decrease with the increase of oxygen content. The weakening degree of epoxy groups is slightly greater than that of hydroxyl groups. Finally, we find that the mechanical properties of PGO will fall to the lowest values due to the defect coupling amplification mechanism when the functional groups are distributed at GBs.

AbstractCellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are linear organic nanomaterials derived from an abundant naturally occurring biopolymer resource. Strategic modification of the primary and secondary hydroxyl groups on the CNC introduces amine and iodine group substitution, respectively. The amine groups (0.285 mmol of amine per gram of functionalized CNC (fCNC)) are further reacted with radiometal loaded-chelates or fluorescent dyes as tracers to evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of the fCNC in vivo. In this way, these nanoscale macromolecules can be covalently functionalized and yield water-soluble and biocompatible fibrillar nanoplatforms for gene, drug and radionuclide delivery in vivo. Transmission electron microscopy of fCNC reveals a length of 162.4 ± 16.3 nm, diameter of 11.2 ± 1.52 nm and aspect ratio of 16.4 ± 1.94 per particle (mean ± SEM) and is confirmed using atomic force microscopy. Size exclusion chromatography of macromolecular fCNC describes a fibrillar molecular behavior as evidenced by retention times typical of late eluting small molecules and functionalized carbon nanotubes. In vivo, greater than 50% of intravenously injected radiolabeled fCNC is excreted in the urine within 1 h post administration and is consistent with the pharmacological profile observed for other rigid, high aspect ratio macromolecules. Tissue distribution of fCNC shows accumulation in kidneys, liver, and spleen (14.6 ± 6.0; 6.1 ± 2.6; and 7.7 ± 1.4% of the injected activity per gram of tissue, respectively) at 72 h post-administration. Confocal fluorescence microscopy reveals cell-specific accumulation in these target tissue sinks. In summary, our findings suggest that functionalized nanocellulose can be used as a potential drug delivery platform for the kidneys.

Phosphotungstic acid (HPW)-filled composite proton exchange membranes possess high proton conductivity under low relative humidity (RH). However, the leaching of HPW limits their wide application. Herein, we propose a novel approach for anchoring water soluble phosphotungstic acid (HPW) by polydopamine (PDA) coated graphene oxide and halloysite nanotubes (DGO and DHNTs) in order to construct hybrid three-dimensional proton transport networks in a sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) membrane. The introduction of PDA on the surfaces of the hybrid fillers could provide hydroxyl groups and secondary amine groups to anchor HPW, resulting in the uniform dispersion of HPW in the SPEEK matrix. The SPEEK/DGO/DHNTs/HPW (90/5/5/60) composite membrane exhibited higher water uptake and much better conductivity than the SPEEK membrane at low relative humidity. The best conductivity reached wass 0.062 S cm−1 for the composite membrane, which is quite stable during the water immersion test.
