Show Abstract ( 5 )
The solubility parameter is one of the important criteria for the ability of a solvent to dissolve a polymer. It is used to judge the solubility of a polymer in a solvent. It is of great significance in polymer theory research, coating formulation design, and resin modification. Therefore, how to accurately determine the polymer solubility parameters is particularly important. There are many methods for polymer solubility determination, such as viscosity method, swelling method, turbidity titration method, and estimation method. This experiment uses the most classic turbidity titration method. The method uses chloroform as the solvent to determine the solubility parameters of polystyrene. Because chloroform is a precursor chemical, ethyl acetate with similar solubility parameters is used as the alternative solvent. The experiment proves that the same teaching purpose can still be achieved after replacing the solvent.

Show Abstract ( 6 )
The splitting energy of the complex was determined by two methods, employing a colored cobalt (Ⅲ) complex as the carrier, combined with crystal field theory model and spectral analysis. Furthermore, a spectral chemical sequence was established. The impact of diverse ligand fields on the central ions was assessed by comparing the splitting energy obtained through methodologies, elucidating the spectral chemical sequence in terms of metal-ligand interaction. To facilitate learning, we propose an “experiment+theory” approach that enables students to gain better insights into the properties of metal complexes and their interactions with ligands, providing valuable references for integrating theoretical and experimental teaching.

Show Abstract ( 5 )
“Content Representation”(CoRe)is one of the most influential research tools in PCK research field in the last two decades, which is widely used in the representation and development of PCK. Through systematic literature review, this study presents the development background of CoRe, analyzes the connotation of CoRe, and combs the application and improvement of CoRe on this basis. The results show that: Based on Shulman’s original definition of PCK, CoRe makes the amalgam of content and pedagogy concrete and explicit, and essentially constructs the representation framework of PCK; CoRe can not only help to form PCK resource database, clarify the attributes of PCK, characterize the changes of PCK, but also promote the professional development of teachers; The original CoRe has some limitations, but it can be improved based on PCK model and research purpose. A comprehensive understanding of CoRe has significant implications for PCK research and teacher education in China.

Show Abstract ( 4 )
Given the problem that the current pharmaceutical analysis experiment course can not meet the demand for comprehensive and applied talent training, a teaching mode based on the combination of CBE and CDIO concepts is proposed. First, modular specialized training based on competency is provided for key job skills, and then taking the project-based comprehensive experiment as the carrier, CDIO mode is adopted to cultivate students’ comprehensive analytical ability in the whole process of pharmaceutical quality control. At the same time, the “three core competency” model is adopted to set experimental teaching objectives, and the experimental course matrix is designed in reverse. Based on the course matrix and relying on the online course platform, a three-level knowledge graph of “knowledge-teaching-learning” is constructed, and a hybrid experimental teaching mode driven by knowledge graph is constructed. The implementation of this teaching mode has achieved good results and provides a reference mode for pharmaceutical analysis experiment teaching.

Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) is a microelectrochemical research method that has evolved by combining electrochemical detection technology, ultramicroelectrode technology, and three-dimensional manipulation technology. Its significant advantages lie in its high temporal resolution, spatial resolution, and unique chemical reaction activity resolution. SECM is widely applied in the fields of electrode process dynamics, electrochemical imaging, electrochemical micro/nano manufacturing, electroanalysis, and biochemistry. However, how to analyze experimental data to obtain quantitative and reliable kinetic data for the studied interfacial reactions is not clearly described in many textbooks and teaching processes. This article primarily introduces several commonly used methods for quantitative analysis of kinetic parameters in SECM experiments. Meanwhile, a nonlinear fitting method based on the combined use of COMSOL and MATLAB is proposed, which can rapidly obtain the kinetic constants of reactions, aiming to assist researchers and students engaged in related studies.

In 1897, British chemist Ramsay predicted an element with an atomic weight of 20. In 1898, Ramsay and British chemist Travers found neon in the air, confirming Ramsay’s prediction. After 1920s, the discovery of neon isotope gave people a new understanding of the concept of neon element, and formed the modern concept of neon element. The discovery of the element neon led to the formation of the whole noble-gas element concept, and neon isotopes confirm the existence of non-radioactive isotopes and the universality of isotopic phenomena. The prediction of neon reflects the promotion of scientific discovery by ideal model, scientific hypothesis and other scientific methods. The formation and development of the concept of neon shows the importance of scientific spirit to scientific discovery.

Walter Norman Haworth was the first British organic chemist to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1937) for his pioneering work on carbohydrates and vitamin C, which had a profound impact on carbohydrate chemistry. In addition to elucidating the basic molecular structure of carbohydrates such as monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides, he also found a ring structure formula which can express all kinds of sugar molecules more accurately, namely the famous “Haworth projection”.On the basis of Albert Szent-Györgyis success in extracting vitamin C, Haworth and his collaborators analyzed its molecular formula, C6H8O6, and pioneered the synthesis of vitamin C. Good at a variety of scientific thinking, excellent chemical analysis ability and chemical method innovation ability, excellent leadership and cooperation ability, and the ability to organically combine the three are the key factors of Haworth’s great scientific success.
