Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chromatographic media preparation technology, and in particular to a method for preparing acid and alkali resistant core-shell titanium dioxide@porous polymer microspheres. Background Technology
[0002] Core-shell titanium dioxide microspheres, as a new generation of chromatographic packing materials, have attracted widespread attention from chromatographic researchers due to their superior performance in terms of high efficiency, speed, high resolution, and low back pressure. Core-shell packing materials possess a unique non-porous core and mesoporous shell structure. This special structure ensures high mechanical strength while significantly shortening the solute diffusion path, thus greatly reducing the separation time required, making them particularly suitable for the rapid separation of biomolecules. Horvath was the first to apply core-shell microspheres to chromatographic separation processes. [4] Later, Kirkland's team refined and improved this technology. In particular, Kirkland commercialized sub-3 μm core-shell packing material in 2006, representing a breakthrough in the preparation and application of core-shell microspheres, which sparked significant attention and research enthusiasm among scientists. Our research group has achieved good results in the rapid chromatographic separation of small molecules and proteins using core-shell chromatographic packing materials prepared by the dual-template method and polymerization-induced redeposition method, respectively. However, the pH range of silica-based stationary phases is limited to 2.0-8.0, which greatly restricts their application. Furthermore, due to the weakly acidic surface of silica, residual silanol groups readily undergo irreversible adsorption with polar biomolecules, causing peak broadening, tailing, and loss of the analyzed sample. Therefore, the application of titanium dioxide core-shell matrices in the rapid separation and analysis of monoclonal antibodies is significantly limited.
[0003] Polymer-based chromatographic packing materials have advantages such as high chemical stability, easy derivatization, strong loading capacity, low non-specific adsorption, and high chromatographic capacity. They also have good biocompatibility and are especially suitable for the separation and analysis of biological samples. However, polymer materials have low pressure resistance and poor mechanical strength.
[0004] To address the above problems, this invention prepares a titanium dioxide@porous polymer core-shell chromatographic packing material by uniformly coating a porous polymer onto the surface of solid titanium dioxide microspheres. The material possesses high mechanical strength and high pressure resistance, while also exhibiting the advantages of polymer packing materials, such as wide applicability, no non-specific adsorption, and rapid separation, making it suitable for rapid separation and analysis in liquid chromatography. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a method for preparing acid and alkali resistant core-shell titanium dioxide@porous polymer microspheres, which improves the acid and alkali resistance of the material and facilitates the expansion of the application range of core-shell packings. Its porous polymer shell exhibits high chemical stability and can be applied over a wide pH range, and the large pore size of the porous shell makes it particularly suitable for the rapid separation and analysis of biomolecules.
[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved by providing a method for preparing acid and alkali resistant core-shell titanium dioxide@porous polymer microspheres, comprising the following steps:
[0007] (1) Preparation of titanium dioxide@polystyrene core-shell microspheres
[0008] Micron-sized monodisperse titanium dioxide@polystyrene core-shell microspheres were prepared by dispersion polymerization using nonporous titanium dioxide microspheres as the core, styrene and 2-vinylbenzene as monomers, sodium p-styrene sulfonate (NaSS) and 3-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane (KH-570) as auxiliaries, and potassium persulfate (KPS) as the initiator. The volume ratio of 2-vinylbenzene to styrene was 1:9 to 2:8.
[0009] (2) Preparation of titanium dioxide@porous polymer core-shell microspheres
[0010] Titanium dioxide@polystyrene core-shell microspheres are used as the parent spheres. Using a seed swelling method, an emulsion containing functional monomers, crosslinking agents, and pore-forming agents is uniformly absorbed into the polystyrene shell. A polymerization reaction is initiated in the presence of surfactants. After removing the pore-forming agents from the product, titanium dioxide@porous polymer core-shell microspheres are obtained.
[0011] In step (2), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is used as the monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) is used as the crosslinking agent, and butyl acetopropionate is used as the pore-forming agent.
[0012] In step (2), the surfactant includes polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The mass percentage concentration of polyvinyl alcohol is 0.1-0.5% and the mass percentage concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate is 1-5%. PVA provides steric hindrance protection and SDS provides electrostatic protection to avoid adhesion and aggregation between microspheres.
[0013] Step (1) involves dispersing non-porous titanium dioxide microspheres (TiO2) in an ethanol solution in a three-necked flask, purging with nitrogen using ultrasound, and then adding KPS, NaSS, and KH-570. The mixture is stirred and heated at 300-500 r / min until the solution temperature reaches 70°C. Then, 0.8-0.9 ml of styrene and 0.1-0.2 ml of divinylbenzene (DVB) are dispersed evenly in anhydrous ethanol and slowly added dropwise to the three-necked flask. The mixture is reacted at 70°C for 12 hours. After the reaction is complete, the mixture is washed with anhydrous ethanol until the solution is clear and no small particles are observed under a microscope. Finally, it is placed in a 60°C constant temperature oven and dried for 12 hours.
[0014] In step (1), the monodisperse nonporous titanium dioxide microspheres are obtained through the following steps: In the Stober system, monodisperse nonporous titanium dioxide microspheres with controllable particle size are prepared by sol-gel process using alkyl alcohol as solvent, titanate as titanium source, and electrolyte (NaCl, KCl, LiCl) as particle size regulator. The electrolyte is NaCl, KCl or LiCl.
[0015] Step (2) involves weighing 0.1 g of titanium dioxide@polystyrene core-shell microspheres into a 100 ml three-necked flask, adding 10-40 ml of SDS solution, ultrasonically dispersing for 20-60 min, then adding 5-20 ml of PVA and ultrasonically dispersing for 10-20 min, then placing it in a 30°C water bath and stirring at 150-350 r / min for 1 hour; then ultrasonically mixing 0.01-0.04 g of BPO, 0.1-0.4 ml of GMA, 0.1-0.4 ml of EDMA, 0.13-1.2 ml of butyl levulinate, 10-40 ml of SDS, and 5-20 ml of PVA until homogeneous, and then adding the mixture dropwise to the above solution, stirring in a 30°C water bath for 6 hours; then raising the temperature to 70°C under nitrogen protection and stirring for 12 hours; after the reaction is complete, rinsing the obtained product with deionized water at 2000 mL / min. Centrifuge three times at rpm, then wash with plenty of 60°C hot water until the filtrate is free of foam, and finally wash once with anhydrous ethanol. Then place it in a vacuum drying oven and dry at 60°C for 12 hours.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the titanium dioxide@porous polymer core-shell microspheres prepared in this invention utilize non-porous titanium dioxide microspheres as the core and a porous polymer shell to coat the non-porous silica microspheres, thereby improving the acid and alkali resistance of the material and expanding the application range of the core-shell filler. Its porous polymer shell has high chemical stability and can be used in a wide pH range, and the pore size of the porous shell is relatively large, making it particularly suitable for the rapid separation and analysis of biomacromolecules.
[0017] This invention uses emulsion polymerization to prepare titanium dioxide@porous polymer core-shell microspheres with a large pore size structure. The preparation process is simple, the raw materials are inexpensive, and it is easy to control and scale up.
[0018] By using inert organic small molecules as pore-forming agents, pore structures with large sizes can be prepared, which are particularly suitable for rapid analysis of biomacromolecules.
[0019] By adjusting the mass ratio of organic monomer to silicon core from 2:1 to 8:1, the shell thickness can be controlled within the range of 100~200 nm. By adjusting the mass ratio of monomer to pore-forming agent from 5:2 to 5:3, the pore size can be controlled within the range of 30~60 nm.
[0020] The acid and alkali resistant core-shell titanium dioxide@porous polymer microspheres prepared in this invention have a large pore size and are composed of a solid titanium dioxide core and a porous polymer shell. The solid inner core not only increases the mechanical stability of the packing material, but also increases the permeability and thermal conductivity of the chromatographic bed. Most importantly, it reduces the dispersion path of the solute in the packing material. These factors can reduce the B and C terms in the Van Diem equation and increase the theoretical plate number. The porous organic shell increases the specific surface area of the material, improves column efficiency and resolution, and expands the application range of core-shell packing materials, especially suitable for the separation and analysis of biomacromolecules.
