应力场下固—液相分离制备微孔聚丙烯中空纤维膜

将聚丙烯和石蜡油的混合物熔融挤出,使之在较高的应力场下冷却和相分离,得到了弹性聚丙烯中空纤维。这种部分结晶的弹性纤维可能具有平行排列的片晶结构,石蜡油存在于片晶之间。将石蜡油提取掉后稍加拉伸即可得到透气性很好的微孔中空纤维渗透膜。

Morphological characteristics of tissue reaction in the zone of “Cousin” unwoven polypropylene endoprosthesis implantation

Comparative histological and electron microscopic study of mouse tissues at the site of implantation of Cousin mesh and unwoven polypropylene endoprostheses was carried out. Implantation of unwoven endoprosthesis was associated with more pronounced inflammatory reaction with longer elimination of neutrophilic granulocytes and macrophages from the adjacent tissues. The growth of connective tissue components between the implant fibers with the formation of fine connective tissue capsule enveloping the prosthesis was observed during earlier periods of the experiment. __________ Translated from Byulleten’ Eksperimental’noi Biologii i Meditsiny, Vol. 143, No. 5, pp. 595–600, May, 2007     

Mechanical properties and biocompatibility of functionalized carbon nanotubes/polypropylene composites

This study investigates the efficiency of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as reinforcement for polypropylene (PP) for biocompatible application as a function of different surface functionalization of CNTs. PP composites were reinforced using various CNTs: single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs, MWCNTs), SWCNTs were covalently functionalized by plasma, for comparison, the MWCNTs were functionalized noncovalently. Different CNTs were incorporated into PP by solution blending. The type of CNTs and surface functionalization affects the mechanical and biocompatibility results significantly. Differences in nanostructure and the chemical compositions, number of functional groups, and structural defects for the CNTs may be the key factors affecting the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of PP nanocomposites compared to the neat PP. Finally, suitable CNTs and surface functionalization of CNTs were selected for making the PP/CNTs composites.     

Silicone-Coated Polypropylene Hollow-Fiber Oxygenator: Experimental Evaluation and Preliminary Clinical Use

Background. A membrane oxygenator consisting of a microporous polypropylene hollow fiber with a 0.2-μm ultrathin silicone layer (cyclosiloxane) was developed. Animal experimental and preliminary clinical studies evaluated its reliability in bypass procedures.

Methods. Five 24-hour venoarterial bypass periods were conducted on dogs using the oxygenator (group A). In 5 controls, bypass periods were conducted using the same oxygenator without silicone coating (group B). As a preliminary clinical study, 14 patients underwent cardiopulmonary bypass with the silicone-coated oxygenator.

Results. Eight to 16 hours (mean, 12.2 hours) after initiation of bypass, plasma leakage occurred in all group B animals, but none in group A. The O₂ and CO₂ transfer rates after 24 hours in group A were significantly higher than at termination of bypass in group B (p < 0.005 and p < 0.03, respectively). Scanning electron microscopy of silicone-coated fibers after 24 hours of bypass revealed no damage to the silicone coating of the polypropylene hollow fibers. In the clinical study, the oxygenator showed good gas transfer, acceptable pressure loss, low hemolysis, and good durability.

Conclusions. This oxygenator is more durable and offers greater gas transfer capabilities than the previous generation of oxygenators.     

丙烯酸及其接枝物对纳米CaCO3/PP结晶与熔融行为的影响

制备了丙烯酸(AA)及其接枝聚丙烯(PP—g-AA)改性的纳米CaC03／PP复合材料。用DSC研究了纳米CaCO3对PP、PP-g-A和AA对纳米CaCO3／PP中PP结晶与熔融行为的影响。结果表明：随纳米CaCO3用量增加，PP结晶与熔融温度提高，PP—g—AA加入使PP结晶温度进一步提高，PP的结晶温度也随从用量增加而提高；在过氧化二异丙苯(DCP)存在下，少量AA能明显提高PP的结晶温度，但增加从用量对结晶温度的影响较小；WAXD证实纳米CaCO3／PP复合材料中存在β晶。     

聚丙烯基纳米碳纤维复合材料结晶行为研究

采用示差扫描量热法(DSC)研究了纳米碳纤维对PP／CNF复合材料中PP结晶行为的影响。结果表明：纳米碳纤雏可提高PP的结晶温度，但略降低其结晶速率和结晶度。提高纳米碳纤雏含量或减小纳米碳纤雏直径，PP结晶行为的上述变化更为明显，但结晶速率随纳米碳纤维含量出现先减小后增大的趋势。     

去氢枞酸类成核剂改性聚丙烯的非等温结晶动力学研究

对以去氢枞酸盐为成核剂的聚丙烯非等温结晶动力学进行了研究，用修正Avrami方程的Jexiorny法和莫志深法进行处理。结果表明：修正Avrami方程的Jeziorny方法和莫志深法都适用于去氢枞酸类成核剂改性的聚丙烯的非等温结晶动力学。在同样的降温速率下纯聚丙烯的t1/2比成核聚丙烯的t1／2要长，当降温速率为20K/min时，纯聚丙烯和成核聚丙烯的t1/2分别为0．78min和0．51min。同时从莫志深法得到的F(T)结果可以看出，达到相同的结晶度时纯聚丙烯所需的降温速率要大于成核聚丙烯所需的降温速率，说明成核剂的加入提高了聚丙烯的结晶速率。从Jeziorny法求出的纯聚丙烯和成核聚丙烯的Avrami指数分别为4．46和2．77，表明成核剂改变了聚丙烯的结晶成核和生长方式。
