The flexible ethoxy groups of IFP-9 and -10 protrude into the 1D hexagonal channels.

A porous 3D framework with 1D hexagonal channels with accessible pore windows of 0.52nm has been synthesized by using an ionic liquid (IL) linker precursor. IFP-6 shows significant gas uptake capacity only for CO2 and CH4 at elevated pressure, whereas it does not adsorb N-2, H-2, and CH4 under atmospheric conditions. IFP-6 is assumed to deteriorate at the outside of the material during the activation process. This closing of the metal-organic framework (MOF) pores is proven by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS), which revealed inherent crystal defects. PALS results support the conservation of the inner pores of IFP-6. IFP-6 has also been successfully loaded with luminescent trivalent lanthanide ions (Ln(III)=Tb, Eu, and Sm) in a bottom-up one-pot reaction through the in situ generation of the linker ligand and in situ incorporation of photoluminescent Ln ions into the constituting network. The results of photoluminescence investigations and powder XRD provide evidence that the Ln ions are not doped as connectivity centers into the frameworks, but are instead located within the pores of the MOFs. Under UV light irradiation, Tb@IFP-6 and Eu@IFP-6 ((exc)=365nm) exhibit observable emission changes to a greenish and reddish color, respectively, as a result of strong Ln 4f emissions.

The effects of contact time, initial pH, initial Cu(II) concentration and reaction temperature on Cu(II) adsorption in aqueous solution were intensively testified. Pseudo-second-order model was able to properly describe Cu(II) adsorption kinetics by using palygorskite (PAL) and S-PAL, and S-PAL exhibited higher adsorption amount (106.27 mg/g) than PAL (8.46 mg/g) at pH of 4. Cu(II) adsorption on PAL and S-PAL could be well fitted by Freundlich isotherm and Langmuir isotherm, respectively. The calculated thermodynamic parameters indicated that Cu(II) adsorption onto PAL and S-PAL were spontaneous and endothermic. A 28-day soil incubation experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of PAL and S-PAL with three different rates (1%, 5% and 10% w/w) on Cu immobilization in contaminated soil. In the immobilization test, Cu extracted by 0.01 mol/L CaCl2 after seven days incubation significantly decreased with increasing rate of PAL and S-PAL. BCR sequential extraction results showed the significant decrease of acid soluble Cu and a concomitant increase of the residual fraction of Cu after S-PAL and PAL addition. XRD patterns of soil samples after treatment by PAL and S-PAL showed the formation of Cu0.6Mg1.3Si2O6 and Cu-3.04(PO4)(2)OH0.08 center dot 2H(2)O, which indicated that silanol groups and phosphate exhibited affinity for Cu in the soil.

The first part is dedicated to thermally activated dynamics of polymers on structured substrates in the presence or absence of a driving force. The structured substrate is represented by double-well or periodic potentials. We consider both homogeneous and point driving forces. Point-like driving forces can be realized in single molecule manipulation by atomic force microscopy tips. Uniform driving forces can be generated by hydrodynamic flow or by electric fields for charged polymers. In the second part, we consider collective filament motion in motility assays for motor proteins, where filaments glide over a motor-coated substrate. The model for the simulation of the filament dynamics contains interactive deformable filaments that move under the influence of forces from molecular motors and thermal noise. Motor tails are attached to the substrate and modeled as flexible polymers (entropic springs), motor heads perform a directed walk with a given force-velocity relation. We study the collective filament dynamics and pattern formation as a function of the motor and filament density, the force-velocity characteristics, the detachment rate of motor proteins and the filament interaction. In particular, the formation and statistics of filament patterns such as nematic ordering due to motor activity or clusters due to blocking effects are investigated. Our results are experimentally accessible and possible experimental realizations are discussed. N2 - In der vorliegenden Arbeit behandeln wir zwei Probleme aus dem Gebiet der Nichtgleichgewichtsdynamik von Polymeren oder biologischen Filamenten, die an zweidimensionale Substrate adsorbieren. Der erste Teil befasst sich mit der thermisch aktivierten Dynamik von Polymeren auf strukturierten Substraten in An- oder Abwesenheit einer treibenden Kraft. Das strukturierte Substrat wird durch Doppelmulden- oder periodische Potentiale dargestellt. Wir betrachten sowohl homogene treibende Kräfte als auch Punktkräfte. Punktkräfte können bei der Manipulation einzelner Moleküle mit die Spitze eines Rasterkraftmikroskops realisiert werden. Homogene Kräfte können durch einen hydrodynamischen Fluss oder ein elektrisches Feld im Falle geladener Polymere erzeugt werden. Im zweiten Teil betrachten wir die kollektive Bewegung von Filamenten in Motility-Assays, in denen Filamente über ein mit molekularen Motoren überzogenes Substrat gleiten. Das Modell zur Simulation der Filamentdynamik beinhaltet wechselwirkende, deformierbare Filamente, die sich unter dem Einfluss von Kräften, die durch molekulare Motoren erzeugt werden, sowie thermischem Rauschen bewegen. Die Schaftdomänen der Motoren sind am Substrat angeheftet und werden als flexible Polymere (entropische Federn) modelliert. Die Kopfregionen der Motoren vollführen eine gerichtete Schrittbewegung mit einer gegebenen Kraft-Geschwindigkeitsbeziehung. Wir untersuchen die kollektive Filamentdynamik und die Ausbildung von Mustern als Funktion der Motor- und der Filamentdichte, der Kraft-Geschwindigkeitscharakteristik, der Ablöserate der Motorproteine und der Filamentwechselwirkung. Insbesondere wird die Bildung und die Statistik der Filamentmuster, wie etwa die nematische Anordnung aufgrund der Motoraktivität oder die Clusterbildung aufgrund von Blockadeeffekten, untersucht. Unsere Ergebnisse sind experimentell zugänglich und mögliche experimentelle Realisierungen werden diskutiert.

The process is based on forming bubbles in a certain mixed solution followed by detachment and rising of bubbles through a certain volume of this solution, and consequently on the formation of a foam layer on top of the solution column. Therefore, systematic analysis of this whole process comprises of at first investigations dedicated to the formation and growth of single bubbles in solutions, which is equivalent to the main principles of the well-known bubble pressure tensiometry. The second stage of the fractionation process includes the detachment of a single bubble from a pore or capillary tip and its rising in a respective aqueous solution. The third and final stage of the process is the formation and stabilization of the foam created by these bubbles, which contains the adsorption layers formed at the growing bubble surface, carried up and gets modified during the bubble rising and finally ends up as part of the foam layer. Bubble pressure tensiometry and bubble profile analysis tensiometry experiments were performed with protein solutions at different bulk concentrations, solution pH and ionic strength in order to describe the process of accumulation of protein and surfactant molecules at the bubble surface. The results obtained from the two complementary methods allow understanding the mechanism of adsorption, which is mainly governed by the diffusional transport of the adsorbing protein molecules to the bubble surface. This mechanism is the same as generally discussed for surfactant molecules. However, interesting peculiarities have been observed for protein adsorption kinetics at sufficiently short adsorption times. First of all, at short adsorption times the surface tension remains constant for a while before it decreases as expected due to the adsorption of proteins at the surface. This time interval is called induction time and it becomes shorter with increasing protein bulk concentration. Moreover, under special conditions, the surface tension does not stay constant but even increases over a certain period of time. This so-called negative surface pressure was observed for BCS and BLG and discussed for the first time in terms of changes in the surface conformation of the adsorbing protein molecules. Usually, a negative surface pressure would correspond to a negative adsorption, which is of course impossible for the studied protein solutions. The phenomenon, which amounts to some mN/m, was rather explained by simultaneous changes in the molar area required by the adsorbed proteins and the non-ideality of entropy of the interfacial layer. It is a transient phenomenon and exists only under dynamic conditions. The experiments dedicated to the local velocity of rising air bubbles in solutions were performed in a broad range of BLG concentration, pH and ionic strength. Additionally, rising bubble experiments were done for surfactant solutions in order to validate the functionality of the instrument. It turns out that the velocity of a rising bubble is much more sensitive to adsorbing molecules than classical dynamic surface tension measurements. At very low BLG or surfactant concentrations, for example, the measured local velocity profile of an air bubble is changing dramatically in time scales of seconds while dynamic surface tensions still do not show any measurable changes at this time scale. The solution’s pH and ionic strength are important parameters that govern the measured rising velocity for protein solutions. A general theoretical description of rising bubbles in surfactant and protein solutions is not available at present due to the complex situation of the adsorption process at a bubble surface in a liquid flow field with simultaneous Marangoni effects. However, instead of modelling the complete velocity profile, new theoretical work has been started to evaluate the maximum values in the profile as characteristic parameter for dynamic adsorption layers at the bubble surface more quantitatively. The studies with protein-surfactant mixtures demonstrate in an impressive way that the complexes formed by the two compounds change the surface activity as compared to the original native protein molecules and therefore lead to a completely different retardation behavior of rising bubbles. Changes in the velocity profile can be interpreted qualitatively in terms of increased or decreased surface activity of the formed protein-surfactant complexes. It was also observed that the pH and ionic strength of a protein solution have strong effects on the surface activity of the protein molecules, which however, could be different on the rising bubble velocity and the equilibrium adsorption isotherms. These differences are not fully understood yet but give rise to discussions about the structure of protein adsorption layer under dynamic conditions or in the equilibrium state. The third main stage of the discussed process of fractionation is the formation and characterization of protein foams from BLG solutions at different pH and ionic strength. Of course a minimum BLG concentration is required to form foams. This minimum protein concentration is a function again of solution pH and ionic strength, i.e. of the surface activity of the protein molecules. Although at the isoelectric point, at about pH 5 for BLG, the hydrophobicity and hence the surface activity should be the highest, the concentration and ionic strength effects on the rising velocity profile as well as on the foamability and foam stability do not show a maximum. This is another remarkable argument for the fact that the interfacial structure and behavior of BLG layers under dynamic conditions and at equilibrium are rather different. These differences are probably caused by the time required for BLG molecules to adapt respective conformations once they are adsorbed at the surface. All bubble studies described in this work refer to stages of the foam fractionation process. Experiments with different systems, mainly surfactant and protein solutions, were performed in order to form foams and finally recover a solution representing the foamed material. As foam consists to a large extent of foam lamella – two adsorption layers with a liquid core – the concentration in a foamate taken from foaming experiments should be enriched in the stabilizing molecules. For determining the concentration of the foamate, again the very sensitive bubble rising velocity profile method was applied, which works for any type of surface active materials. This also includes technical surfactants or protein isolates for which an accurate composition is unknown. N2 - Die Fraktionierung ist ein Trennprozess, bei dem verschiedene Materialien auf Grund ihrer Eigenschaften voneinander getrennt werden. Bei der Sedimentation von Teilchen in einer Flüssigkeit dient deren unterschiedliche Dichte zu ihrer Trennung, da schwere Teilchen schneller auf den Boden des Gefäßes sinken als leichtere. Bei der Schaumfraktionierung als Trennprozess dient zur Trennung verschiedener Moleküle in einer Lösung deren Grenzflächenaktivität, d.h. das unterschiedliche Vermögen der Moleküle, sich an der Oberfläche von Gasblasen anzureichern. Durch das Aufsteigen der Blasen in der Flüssigkeit werden daher die Moleküle mit der höheren Grenzflächenaktivität stärker in der Schaumschicht angereichert als die weniger stark grenzflächenaktiven Komponenten. Ziel der vorliegenden Dissertation ist es, den Prozess der Schaumfraktionierung hinsichtlich der Trennung von grenzflächenaktiven Molekülen zu analysieren. Die Bildung von Blasen und deren anschließendes Aufsteigen in der Lösung kann als wichtigstes Element in diesem Prozess angesehen werden. Es ist bekannt, dass die Geschwindigkeit aufsteigender Luftblasen in Wasser eine charakteristische Größe ist, die durch die Anwesenheit grenzflächenaktiver Stoffe (Tenside, Proteine) stark verringert wird. Die vorliegende Dissertation zeigt für das ausgewählte Protein ß-Lactoglobulin und für verschiedene Lebensmittel-Tenside, dass die Messung der Aufstiegsgeschwindigkeit von Luftblasen zur Beurteilung der Anreicherung dieser Moleküle an der Blasenoberfläche ausgezeichnet geeignet ist. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse bei verschiedenen Lösungsbedingungen, wie Konzentration von Protein bzw. Tensid, pH-Wert und Ionenstärke der Lösung, zeigen deutlich, dass die Anreicherung der Proteinmoleküle wesentlich stärker ist als die von Tensiden. Dies gilt auch für Tenside mit einer sehr hohen Grenzflächenaktivität, was im Wesentlichen durch die extrem feste (nahezu irreversible) Anreicherung der Proteinmoleküle zu erklären ist. Die erzielten experimentellen Ergebnisse dienen jetzt als Grundlage für die Weiterentwicklung der Theorie aufsteigender Blasen, die besonders von der Dynamik der Anreicherung der Moleküle geprägt ist. Neueste Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass auf der Grundlage dieser experimentellen Ergebnisse erstmals die Geschwindigkeitskonstanten der Anreicherung (Adsorption und Desorption) unabhängig voneinander ermittelt werden können.

T1 - Modification of nanoparticle surfaces for emulsion stabilization and encapsulation of active molecules for anti-corrosive coatings T1 - Nanopartikel Oberflächenmodifikationen zur Emulsionsstabilisierung und Verkapselung von Wirkstoffen für Antikorrosionsbeschichtungen N2 - Within this work, three physicochemical methods for the hydrophobization of initially hydrophilic solid particles are investigated. The modified particles are then used for the stabilization of oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions. For all introduced methods electrostatic interactions between strongly or weakly charged groups in the system are es-sential. (i) Short chain alkylammonium bromides (C4 – C12) adsorb on oppositely charged solid particles. Macroscopic contact angle measurements of water droplets under air and hexane on flat silica surfaces in dependency of the surface charge density and alkylchain-length allow the calculation of the surface energy and give insights into the emulsification properties of solid particles modified with alkyltrimethylammonium bromides. The measure-ments show an increase of the contact angle with increasing surface charge density, due to the enhanced adsorp-tion of the oppositely charged alkylammonium bromides. Contact angles are higher for longer alkylchain lengths. The surface energy calculations show that in particular the surface-hexane or surface-air interfacial en-ergy is being lowered upon alkylammonium adsorption, while a significant increase of the surface-water interfa-cial energy occurs only at long alkyl chain lengths and high surface charge densities. (ii) The thickness and the charge density of an adsorbed weak polyelectrolyte layer (e.g. PMAA, PAH) influence the wettability of nanoparticles (e.g. alumina, silica, see Scheme 1(b)). Furthermore, the isoelectric point and the pH range of colloidal stability of particle-polyelectrolyte composites depend on the thickness of the weak polye-lectrolyte layer. Silica nanoparticles with adsorbed PAH and alumina nanoparticles with adsorbed PMAA be-come interfacially active and thus able to stabilize o/w emulsions when the degree of dissociation of the polye-lectrolyte layer is below 80 %. The average droplet size after emulsification of dodecane in water depends on the thickness and the degree of dissociation of the adsorbed PE-layer. The visualization of the particle-stabilized o/w emulsions by cryogenic SEM shows that for colloidally stable alumina-PMAA composites the oil-water interface is covered with a closely packed monolayer of particles, while for the colloidally unstable case closely packed aggregated particles deposit on the interface. (iii) By emulsifying a mixture of the corrosion inhibitor 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) and styrene with silica nanoparticles a highly stable o/w emulsion can be obtained in a narrow pH window. The amphoteric character of 8-HQ enables a pH dependent electrostatic interaction with silica nanoparticles, which can render them interfa-cially active. Depending on the concentration and the degree of dissociation of 8-HQ the adsorption onto silica results from electrostatic or aromatic interactions between 8-HQ and the particle-surface. At intermediate amounts of adsorbed 8-HQ the oil wettability of the particles becomes sufficient for stabilizing o/w emulsions. Cryogenic SEM visualization shows that the particles arrange then in a closely packed shell consisting of partly of aggregated domains on the droplet interface. For further increasing amounts of adsorbed 8-HQ the oil wet-tability is reduced again and the particles ability to stabilize emulsions decreases. By the addition of hexadecane to the oil phase the size of the droplets can be reduced down to 200 nm by in-creasing the silica mass fraction. Subsequent polymerization produces corrosion inhibitor filled (20 wt-%) poly-styrene-silica composite particles. The measurement of the release of 8-hydroxyquinoline shows a rapid increase of 8-hydroxyquinoline in a stirred aqueous solution indicating the release of the total content in less than 5 min-utes. The method is extended for the encapsulation of other organic corrosion inhibitors. The silica-polymer-inhibitor composite particles are then dispersed in a water based alkyd emulsion, and the dispersion is used to coat flat aluminium substrates. After drying and cross-linking the polmer-film Confocal Laser Scanning Micros-copy is employed revealing a homogeneous distribution of the particles in the film. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy in aqueous electrolyte solutions shows that films with aggregated particle domains degrade with time and don’t provide long-term corrosion protection of the substrate. However, films with highly dispersed particles have high barrier properties for corrosive species. The comparison of films containing silica-polystyrene composite particles with and without 8-hydroxyquinoline shows higher electrochemical impedances when the inhibitor is present in the film. By applying the Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique the localized corrosion rate in the fractured area of scratched polymer films containing the silica-polymer-inhibitor composite particles is studied. Electrochemical corrosion cannot be suppressed but the rate is lowered when inhibitor filled composite particles are present in the film. By depositing six polyelectrolyte layers on particle stabilized emulsion droplets their surface morphology changes significantly as shown by SEM visualization. When the oil wettability of the outer polyelectrolyte layer increases, the polyelectrolyte coated droplets can act as emulsion stabilizers themselves by attaching onto bigger oil droplets in a closely packed arrangement. In the presence of 3 mM LaCl3 8-HQ hydrophobized silica particles aggregate strongly on the oil-water inter-face. The application of an ultrasonic field can remove two dimensional shell-compartments from the droplet surface, which are then found in the aqueous bulk phase. Their size ranges up to 1/4th of the spherical particle shell. N2 - Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden drei Oberflächenmodifikationen zur Hydrophobierung von ursprünglich hydrophilen Feststoffpartikeln entwickelt. Die so modifizierten Partikel werden dann zur Stabilisierung von Öl-in-Wasser Emulsionen verwendet. Für sämtliche entwickelte Methoden sind elektrostatische Wechselwirkungen zwischen stark oder schwach dissoziierten chemischen Gruppen essentiell. (i) Kurzkettige Alkyltrimethylammonium Bromide (C4-C12) adsorbieren auf entgegengesetzt geladenen Partikeln. Makroskopische Kontaktwinkelmessungen von Wasser Tropfen in Luft und Hexan auf flachen Siliziumoxid Oberflächen mit variabler Oberflächenladungsdichte und Alkylkettenlänge ermöglichen die Berechnung der Oberflächenenergie und geben Einblicke in die Emulgationseigenschaften von so modifizierten Feststoffpartikeln. Die Messungen zeigen einen Anstieg des Kontakwinkels mit steigender Oberflächenladungsdichte, bedingt durch die verstärkte Adsorption von entgegengesetzt geladenen Alkyltrimethylammonium Bromiden. Die Kontaktwinkel sind zudem größer für längerkettige Alkyltrimethylammonium Bromide. Die Berechnungen der Oberflächenenergie zeigen, dass besonders die Feststoff-Hexan oder Feststoff-Luft Grenzflächenenergie durch die Adsorption verringert wird, wohingegen die Feststoff-Wasser Oberflächenenergie nur bei längeren Alkylkettenlängen und hohen Oberflächenladungsdichten signifikant ansteigt. (ii) Die Schichtdicke und Ladungsdichte von adsorbierten schwachen Polyelektrolyten (z.B. PMAA, PAH) beeinflusst die Benetzbarkeit von Nanopartikeln (z.B. Aluminiumoxid, Siliziumoxid). Der isoelektrische Punkt und der pH Bereich für kolloidale Stabilität solcher Polyelektrolyt modifizierter Partikel hängt von der Dicke der Polyelektrolytschicht ab. Siliziumoxid und Aluminiumoxid Nanopartikel mit adsorbierten PAH bzw. PMAA werden Grenzflächenaktiv und dadurch befähigt Öl-in-Wasser Emulsionen zu stabilisieren, wenn der Dissoziationsgrad der Polyelektrolytschicht geringer als 80 % ist. Die durchschnittliche Tropfengröße von Dodecan-in-Wasser Emulsionen ist abhängig von der Polyelektrolytschichtdicke und dem Dissoziationsgrad. Die Visualisierung von Partikel stabilisierten Öl-in-Wasser Emulsionen durch kryogene REM zeigt, dass im Falle von kolloidal stabilen Aluminiumoxid-PMAA Partikeln die Öl-Tröpfchen mit einer dichtgepackten Partikelhülle belegt sind, während für kolloidal destabilisierte Partikel eine Hülle aus aggregierten Partikeln gefunden wird. (iii) Durch das Emulgieren einer Lösung des Korrosionsinhibitors 8-Hydroxychinolins (8HQ) in Styrol mit Siliziumoxid Nanopartikeln können stabile Öl-in-Wasser Emulsionen in einem pH Fenster von 4 - 6 hergestellt werden. Der amphoterische Charakter von 8HQ ermöglicht eine pH abhängige elektrostatische Wechselwirkung mit den Siliziumdioxid Nanopartikeln, welche diese Grenzflächenaktiv werden lässt. In Abhängigkeit der Konzentration und des Dissoziationsgrads von 8HQ folgt die Adsorption auf Siliziumdioxid aus elektrostatischen oder aromatischen Wechselwirkungen zwischen 8HQ und der Partikeloberfläche. Bei mittleren adsorbierten Mengen wird die Öl Benetzbarkeit der Partikel ausreichend erhöht um Öl-in-Wasser Emulsionen zu stabilisieren. Kryogene REM zeigt, dass die Partikel dann in dicht gepackte Hüllen, mit teilweise aggregierten Domänen auf der Öltröpfchenoberfläche vorliegen. Durch weiter ansteigende adsorbierte 8HQ Mengen wird die Öl-Benetzbarkeit wieder zurückgesetzt und die Emulgationsfähigkeit der Partikel aufgehoben. Durch die Zugabe von Hexadecan zur Öl Phase kann die Tropfengröße durch Erhöhung des Siliziumdioxid Anteils auf 200 nm herabgesetzt werden. Anschließende Polymerisation des Styrols generiert Korrosionsinhibitor gefüllte (20 Gew-%) Polystyrol-Silizumoxid Komposite. Die Messung der Freisetzungsrate von 8HQ zeigt einen schnellen Anstieg der 8HQ Konzentration in einer gerührten wässrigen Lösung innerhalb von 5 Minuten. Die Verkapselungsmethode wird auch für andere organische Korrosionsinhibitoren erweitert. Die Komposite werden dann in einer wasserbasierten Alkydpräpolymeremulsion dispergiert und diese Mischung wird zur Beschichtung von flachen Aluminiumplatten genutzt. Nach Trocknung und Quervernetzung des Films wird Konfokale Laser Mikroskopie dazu verwendet um die räumliche Verteilung der Composite im Film zu visualisieren. Elektrochemische Impedanzspektroskopie zeigt, dass die Barriereeigenschaften des Films durch die Anwesenheit der Komposite verbessert sind. Raster Vibrationselektroden Messungen zeigen, dass die Korrosionsrate in einem Kratzer des Films durch die Anwesenheit der Inhibitor efüllten Komposite reduziert ist. Durch die Ablagerung von 6 Polyelektroytschichten auf Feststoffstabilisierten Emulsionströpfchen verändert sich deren Oberflächenmorphologie deutlich (gezeigt durch REM). Wenn die Ölbenetzbarkeit der äußeren Polyelektrolytschicht ansteigt, dann können solche Polyelektolytbeschichteten Feststoffstabilisierte Emulsionströpfchen selber als Emulsionsstabilisatoren verwendet werden. Diese lagern sich dann in einer dicht gepackten Schicht auf der Oberfläche von größeren Emulsionstropfen ab. In der Gegenwart von 3 mM LaCl3 aggregieren 8HQ modifizierte Siliziumoxid Partikel stark auf der Öl-Wasser Grenzfläche. Der Einsatz von Ultraschall kann aggregierte Schalenbestandteile von der Tropfenoberfläche wegreißen. Diese Wracks können bis zu einem Viertel der Kugelhülle ausmachen und liegen dann als kolloidale Schalen im Wasser vor.

The design and fabrication of chiral adsorbent materials is a promising way to increase the surface area of chiral information, as well as to maximize the available surface for the adsorption of one enantiomer. Porous materials such as silica or metal-organic-frameworks are established compounds in this field, due to their well-defined surface structure and ease of functionalization with chiral groups. As another class of porous materials, carbons provide the advantages of high thermal and chemical stability, resistance against moisture, electrical conductivity, and widely tunable pore size. Although they are well established in many adsorption-related applications, carbons received far less attention in enantioselective adsorption processes because the controlled functionalization of their surface is rather difficult due to the chemically heterogeneous atoms in the network. A suitable approach to overcome this limitation is the synthesis of chiral carbons directly from chiral precursors. So far, chiral carbons synthesized from chiral precursors used salt-templating as a way of introducing porosity, which resulted in mainly microporous materials or materials with broad pore size distribution. In the present study, the possibility of combining nanocasting as an alternative templating approach with chiral ionic liquids as a carbon precursor is demonstrated. Chiral recognition is measured in the gas phase, by adsorption of chiral gas, as well as in the solution, by using isothermal titration calorimetry. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

T1 - Hybrid materials from agro-waste and nanoparticles: implications on the kinetics of the adsorption of inorganic pollutants JF - Environmental technology N2 - This study is a first-hand report of the immobilization of Nauclea diderrichii seed waste biomass (ND) (an agro-waste) with eco-friendly mesoporous silica (MS) and graphene oxide-MS (GO+MS ) nanoparticles, producing two new hybrid materials namely: MND adsorbent for agro-waste modified with MS and GND adsorbent for agro-waste modified with GO+MS nanoparticles showed improved surface area, pore size and pore volume over those of the agro-waste. The abstractive potential of the new hybrid materials was explored for uptake of Cr(III) and Pb(II) ions. Analysis of experimental data from these new hybrid materials showed increased initial sorption rate of Cr(III) and Pb(II) ions uptake. The amounts of Cr(III) and Pb(II) ions adsorbed by MND and GND adsorbents were greater than those of ND. Modification of N. diderrichii seed waste significantly improved its rate of adsorption and diffusion coefficient for Cr(III) and Pb(II) more than its adsorption capacity. The rate of adsorption of the heavy metal ions was higher with GO+MS nanoparticles than for other adsorbents. Kinetic data were found to fit well the pseudo-second-order and the diffusion-chemisorption kinetic models suggesting that the adsorption of Cr(III) and Pb(II) onto these adsorbents is mainly through chemisorption mechanism. Analysis of kinetic data with the homogeneous particle diffusion kinetic model suggests that particle diffusion (diffusion of ions through the adsorbent) is the rate-limiting step for the adsorption process.

T1 - Critical polyelectrolyte adsorption under confinement Planar slit, cylindrical pore, and spherical cavity JF - Biopolymers N2 - We explore the properties of adsorption of flexible polyelectrolyte chains in confined spaces between the oppositely charged surfaces in three basic geometries. A method of approximate uniformly valid solutions for the Green function equation for the eigenfunctions of polymer density distributions is developed to rationalize the critical adsorption conditions. The same approach was implemented in our recent study for the inverse problem of polyelectrolyte adsorption onto a planar surface, and on the outer surface of rod-like and spherical obstacles. For the three adsorption geometries investigated, the theory yields simple scaling relations for the minimal surface charge density that triggers the chain adsorption, as a function of the Debye screening length and surface curvature. The encapsulation of polyelectrolytes is governed by interplay of the electrostatic attraction energy toward the adsorbing surface and entropic repulsion of the chain squeezed into a thin slit or small cavities. Under the conditions of surface-mediated confinement, substantially larger polymer linear charge densities are required to adsorb a polyelectrolyte inside a charged spherical cavity, relative to a cylindrical pore and to a planar slit (at the same interfacial surface charge density). Possible biological implications are discussed briefly in the end.

Semiflexible polymers are characterized by their persistence length, the definition of which is the subject of the first part of this thesis. Attractive interactions, that arise e.g.~in the adsorption, the condensation and the bundling of filaments, can change the conformation of a semiflexible polymer. The conformation depends on the relative magnitude of the material parameters and can be influenced by them in a systematic manner. In particular, the morphologies of semiflexible polymer rings, such as circular nanotubes or DNA, which are adsorbed onto substrates with three types of structures, are studied: (i) A topographical channel, (ii) a chemically modified stripe and (iii) a periodic pattern of topographical steps. The results are compared with the condensation of rings by attractive interactions. Furthermore, the bundling of two individual actin filaments, whose ends are anchored, is analyzed. This system geometry is shown to provide a systematic and quantitative method to extract the magnitude of the attraction between the filaments from experimentally observable conformations of the filaments. N2 - Die biologische Funktion und die technologischen Anwendungen semiflexibler Polymere, wie DNA, Aktinfilamente und Nanoröhren aus Kohlenstoff, werden wesentlich von deren Biegesteifigkeit bestimmt. Semiflexible Polymere werden charakterisiert durch ihre Persistenzlänge, mit deren Definition sich der erste Teil dieser Arbeit befasst. Anziehende Wechselwirkungen, wie sie z.B. bei der Adsorption, der Kondensation und der Bündelung von Filamenten auftreten, können die Konformation eines semiflexiblen Polymers verändern. Die Konformation ist dabei abhängig von der relativen Größe der Materialparameter und kann durch diese gezielt beeinflusst werden. Im Einzelnen werden hier die Morphologien semiflexibler Polymerringe, wie z.B. DNA oder ringförmiger Nanoröhren, untersucht, die auf drei verschieden strukturierten Substraten adsorbieren: (i) Ein topographischer Kanal, (ii) ein chemisch modifizierter Streifen und (iii) ein periodisches Muster topographischer Oberflächenstufen. Die Ergebnisse werden mit der Kondensation von Ringen durch anziehende Wechselwirkungen verglichen. Des Weiteren wird die Bündelung zweier Aktinfilamente, deren Enden verankert sind, untersucht. Diese Systemgeometrie liefert eine systematische Methode, um die Stärke der Anziehung zwischen den Filamenten aus experimentell beobachtbaren Konformationen zu berechnen.

The isotherm shapes were analyzed in order to gain insight into material properties and compared to sorption experiments with nitrogen at 77.4 K and carbon dioxide at 273.15 K. Results show that water vapor sorption measurements are strongly influenced by the pore size distribution while having a distinct hysteresis loop between the adsorption and desorption branch in common. Thus, IFP-4 and -8, which solely contain micropores, exhibit H4 (type I) isotherm shapes, while those of IFP-1, -2 and -5, which also contain mesopores, are of H3 (type IV) shape with three inflection points. The choice of the used linker substituents and transition metals employed in the framework has a tremendous effect on the material properties and functionality. The water uptake capacities of the examined IFPs are ranging 0.48 mmol g(-1) (IFP-4) to 6.99 mmol g(-1) (IFP-5) and comparable to those documented for ZIFs. The water vapor stability of IFPs is high, with the exception of IFP-8.

Varying R in the 2-substitued linker (R=Me (IFP-1), Cl (IFP-2), Br (IFP-3), Et (IFP-4)) allowed the channel diameter (4.01.7 angstrom), the polarisability and functionality of the channel walls to be tuned. Frameworks IFP-2, IFP-3 and IFP-4 are isostructural to previously reported IFP-1. The structures of IFP-2 and IFP-3 were solved by X-ray crystallographic analyses. The structure of IFP-4 was determined by a combination of PXRD and structure modelling and was confirmed by IR spectroscopy and 1H MAS and 13C CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy. All IFPs showed high thermal stability (345400?degrees C); IFP-1 and IFP-4 were stable in boiling water for 7 d. A detailed porosity analysis was performed on the basis of adsorption measurements by using various gases. The potential of the materials to undergo specific interactions with CO2 was investigated by measuring the isosteric heats of adsorption. The capacity to adsorb CH4 (at 298 K), CO2 (at 298 K) and H2 (at 77 K) at high pressure were also investigated. In situ IR spectroscopy showed that CO2 is physisorbed on IFP-14 under dry conditions and that both CO2 and H2O are physisorbed on IFP-1 under moist conditions.

The detailed examination of trajectories reveals that a couple of picoseconds need to be strongly adsorbed at the gold surface via L-cysteine's sulfur and oxygen atoms. The average distances of L-cysteine's adsorbed sulfur and oxygen from gold plane are-2.7 angstrom and-3.2 angstrom, correspondingly. We found that the adsorption of L-cysteine takes place preferentially at bridge site with possibility of-82%. Discussing the conformation features of protonated L-cysteine, we consider that the most stable conformation of protonated L-cysteine is "reverse boat" position, where sulfur and oxygen pointed down to the gold surface, while the amino group is far from the gold surface.
