Therefore, the hydrophobic support immobilizes higher amounts of TLL and the hydrophilic support keeps the enzyme hyperactivated. Last, due to the stronger interactions of TLL with hydrophobic surfaces, the hydrophobic support offers better preservation of enzyme activity in repeated cycles (76% of activity retained after three cycles versus 50% for the hydrophilic support).Sulfobetaine, a type of zwitterionic polymer, is highly biocompatible with temperature responsiveness of the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) type. The objective of this research was to construct polyion complex (PIC) micelles in the shell of sulfobetaine that had these properties. We used poly(sulfopropyl dimethylammonium propylacrylamide) (PSPP) as sulfobetaine, poly(sodium styrenesulfonate) (PSSNa) as the anionic polymer, and poly[3-(methacrylamido)propyl trimethylammonium chloride] (PMAPTAC) as the cationic polymer. The fundamental properties of the sulfobetaine-containing polymer and the complex were investigated to construct micelles in which the corona expands and contracts in response to temperature changes. Changes in the cloud point were observed from the transmittance for sulfobetaine homopolymers with different degrees of polymerization and concentration and aqueous solution of temperature-responsive diblock copolymers with different concentrations. The concentration and degree of polymerization dependencies on temperature responsivity were determined. Then we mixed two diblock copolymer aqueous solutions that did not have temperature responsivity so that the charge number of anions and cations became equal, and the temperature responsivity and the formation of micelles were confirmed from 1H NMR, DLS, and transmittance. This confirmed the formation of PIC micelles with temperature responsivity. The diblock copolymer did not have temperature responsivity due to the influence of the block ratio by introduction of the ionic chain. However, it is considered to have temperature responsivity because the ionic chain becomes the core when PIC micelles are formed. Furthermore, the PIC micelles with temperature responsivity also had a degree of polymerization and concentration dependencies.Stable dispersions of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by biopolymers in an aqueous environment facilitate their potential biological and biomedical applications. In this report, we investigated a small library of precision synthesized glycopolymers with monosaccharide and disaccharide groups for stabilizing SWCNTs via noncovalent complexation in aqueous conditions. Among the glycopolymers tested, disaccharide lactose-containing glycopolymers demonstrate effective stabilization of SWCNTs in water, which strongly depends on carbohydrate density and polymer chain length as well. The introduction of disaccharide lactose potentially makes glycopolymers less flexible as compared to those containing monosaccharide and facilitates the wrapping conformation of polymers on the surface of SWCNTs while preserving intrinsic photoluminescence of nanotubes in the near-infrared region. This work demonstrates the synergistic effects of the identity of carbohydrate pendant groups and polymer chain length of glycopolymers on stabilizing SWCNTs in water, which has not been achieved previously.Surfaces that exhibit the reactivity of silica toward surface modification (silanol condensation) were prepared by treating thin films and particles of poly(methylsilsesquioxane) with aqueous potassium persulfate at elevated temperature. Parallel experiments were carried out using a highly cross-linked poly(dimethylsiloxane). Advancing (θA) and receding (θR) water contact angles for all of these oxidized surfaces were θA/θR = ∼10/∼0°, and these low values remain unchanged for months. Reactions of these silica-like surfaces with a range of functional silane reagents indicate that the surface silanol concentration is sufficient to prepare covalently attached monolayers of similar surface density to those prepared using silicon wafers as substrates.A single semiconductor employed into photo(electro)catalysis is not sufficient for charge carrier separation. Designing a multiple heterojunction system is a practical method for photo(electro)catalysis. Herein, novel two-dimensional AgInS2/SnS2/RGO (AISR) photocatalysts with multiple junctions were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method. The synthesized AISR heterojunctions showed superior photoelectrochemical performance and photocatalytic degradation of norfloxacin, with a high degradation rate reaching 95%. More importantly, the toxicity of photocatalytic products decreased within the reaction process. High spatial separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs was evidenced by optical and photoelectrochemical characterizations. Furthermore, a laser flash photolysis technique was carried on investigating the lifetime of the charge carrier of the fabricated dual heterostructures. In addition, sulfur and oxygen vacancies existed in AISR heterojunctions could largely constrain the recombination of electron-hole pairs. Density functional theory calculations were carried out to analyze the mechanism of photoinduced interfacial redox reactions, showing that reduced graphene oxide and AgInS2 act as electron and hole trappers in the photocatalytic reaction, respectively. Due to the interfacial electric field formed from AISR dual heterojunctions, the effective spatial charge separation and transfer contributed to the boosting photo(electro)catalytic performance.Copper manganese composite (hopcalite) catalyst has been widely explored for low-temperature CO oxidation reactions. Selleck JAK inhibitor However, the previous reports on the stabilization of such composite catalysts have shown that they deactivated severely under moist conditions. Herein, we developed an α-MnO2 nanorod-supported copper oxide catalyst that is very active and stable for the conditions with or without moisture by the deposition precipitation (DP) method. Incredibly, the CuO/MnO2 DP catalyst (with 5 wt % copper loading) achieves superior activity with a reaction rate of 9.472 μmol-1·gcat-1·s-1 even at ambient temperatures, which is at least double times of that for the reported copper-based catalyst. Additionally, the CuO/MnO2 DP catalyst is significantly more stable than the copper manganese composite catalysts reported in the literature under the presence of 3% water vapor as well as without moisture. A correlation between the catalytic CO oxidation activity and textural characteristics was derived via multitechnique analyses.
