In this paper, N,O-benzyl chitosan was synthesized by means of phase-transfer method. The total degree of substitution for this derivative was 0 8 as determined with 1H NMR and the degree of substitution on nitrogen was 0 3 as determined with elemental analysis. This is a thermoplastic chitin derivative. Its melting point was 470 K as measured with DSC. A viscous isotropic melt occurred at the temperatures between the melting point and the decomposition temperature(513 K) while N,O-benzyl chitosan was heated on a hot stage. DSC results agreed with the results of microscopy observation. The benzyl group can not form hydrogen bonds. It is also non-polar and has larger volume. These factors weaken the interactions between chitosan chains, and therefore decrease the melting point, which was lower than the decomposition temperature. As a result, N,O-benzyl chitosan was able to melt.展开更多

The spectral properties and thermal parameters of these Yb doped cubic phase transparent ceramics are compared, and their different and potential applications are also analysed. The absorption cross-section and the emission cross-section of these ceramics are measured and calculated. The essential properties of these materials especially for the rep-rated pulsed high-energy diode-pumped solid-state lasers are investigated. The results show that Yb doped YAG, YSAG and YaLaO3 are all suitable materials used for diode-pumped solid-state lasers.展开更多
