电子背散射衍射法研究马氏珠母贝珍珠层中文石择优取向

贝壳珍珠层中的文石相对于在自然环境中生长的文石来说具有更优异的力学性能,这种力学性能取决于其独特的晶体排布方式。通过电子背散射衍射（EBSD）技术获得了马氏珠母贝中不同文石的结晶学取向信息,结果表明珍珠层中文石晶体的c轴均垂直于珍珠层层面,而a、b轴在平行珍珠层方向上具有两级取向畴结构：在初级畴结构内,相邻畴绕c轴偏转,导致不同畴之间a轴或b轴的取向差约64°。在次级畴结构内,文石板片围绕c轴偏转,导致不同畴之间a轴或b轴取向差在10°或20°左右。这种畴结构为我们认识珍珠层中文石的生长机理提供了有益线索。     

聚乙烯在氧化铝模板中的结晶与取向行为

用多孔阳极氧化铝(AAO)模板制备了直径为200nm的聚乙烯(PE)纳米纤维,并用傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、偏光显微镜(PLM)和X-射线衍射(XRD)方法研究了PE在二维圆柱状受限条件下的结晶与取向行为.FTIR研究表明,由于模板的限制作用,PE纳米纤维的结晶度低于本体.同时,PE纳米纤维晶体的b轴平行于模板孔洞的方向取向,而a轴垂直于孔洞的方向取向.XRD结果进一步证明,在纳米孔洞中PE晶体的b轴平行于纳米孔洞方向.PLM结果表明,在结晶过程中,晶体主要是在模板与本体的界面处成核,然后晶体呈发散状向本体和纳米纤维中竞争生长.由于PE晶体的b轴是其生长速率最快的方向,在本体中形成典型的环带球晶形貌;而在二维圆柱受限条件下,只有沿孔洞方向生长的晶体才能增长,而其它生长方向则受到抑制,造成PE晶体的b轴沿孔洞方向优先取向.     

线性低密度聚乙烯流延膜取向与阻隔性能关系研究

采用广角X射线衍射(WAXD),小角X射线散射(SAXS)和小角激光光散射(SALS)系统地表征了线性低密度聚乙烯(LLDPE)流延膜以及加入成核剂HPN-20E的LLDPE流延膜的多层级凝聚态结构,并研究晶体取向分布与流延膜阻隔性能之间的关系.未加成核剂的流延膜内PE晶体的主要取向为b轴在TDND(流延膜横向-垂直于流延膜方向)平面内的,以b轴为螺旋轴的螺旋状取向,而以b轴沿MD(流延膜机械方向)方向的方式取向的晶体分布较少.成核剂的加入改变了流延膜内晶体的取向分布以及聚集情况,b轴沿ND方向的螺旋状取向(O_(ND))的晶体明显减少,片晶的尺寸、取向程度以及微观尺寸的晶体聚集情况均发生明显变化.发现在结晶度相近的情况下,晶体的取向排列是影响阻隔性能的关键因素,进而提出用一种半定量的取向结构参数R_(ND),即X射线沿着ND方向得到的晶体(110)与(200)晶面的衍射峰面积的比值,表征晶体取向与阻隔性能之间的关系.     

在半金属表面上应力诱导的红荧烯晶态薄膜

报道了在Bi（001）衬底上从第一层开始形成的红荧烯晶体薄膜.随着覆盖度的增加,红荧烯薄膜的结构会发生从自组装到混合相的转变.在混合相中存在着红荧烯的晶体畴和分子自组装形成的畴壁.特别是,我们在这种晶体畴中发现了Kurdjunov-Sachs（KS）转动外延和巨大的压缩应力.随着覆盖度的增加,红荧烯薄膜会按照逐层生长的模式进行,直至第四个分子单层.我们认为,转动外延过程中所产生的巨大压缩应力是导致晶态红荧烯薄膜的形成原因.     

聚醚醚酮/碳纤维复合材料的界面结构以及结晶形态的研究

本文采用扫描电子显微镜观察经氩等离子刻蚀后PEEK/碳纤维复合材料的界面层结构和PEEK树脂的结晶形态。无论是从熔体还是从橡胶体结晶,PEEK树脂的结晶都是从碳纤维表面诱导开始,最后形成横穿晶体结构。在高碳纤维含量的复合材料中,PEEK的球晶尺寸主要由碳纤维之间的距离控制,受温度的影响较小。在PEEK/碳纤维复合材料的结晶过程中,第一片晶片在碳纤维表面取向生长方式为:晶体的ā轴(厚度方向)平行于维纤径 向。b轴(晶片生长方向)与纤维最小圆截面的切线重合,(?)轴(垂直晶片平面的方向)平行于纤维轴向。由于球晶成核过程是取向生长,因而生成的球晶也按一定的方式取向。     

热处理对聚己二酸丁二醋多晶结构和降解行为的影响

通过熔融结晶并结合退火处理方法得到多晶结构的聚己二酸丁二酯(PBA)及具有不同热历史的热力学稳定的a晶型,采用广角X射线衍射仪(WAXD)、原子力显微镜(AFM)和差示扫描量热仪(DSC)研究了PBA的多晶结构、晶体尺寸和结晶形貌,跟踪了退火处理PBA的生物降解行为.结果表明,分子链在相同晶格排列中围绕c轴空间取向的不...     

层状共连续PA6/SEBS体系的结晶取向及其低膨胀化机理研究

研究了注射成型尼龙6/苯乙烯-乙烯/丁烯-苯乙烯嵌段共聚物(PA6/SEBS)体系中微结构形态,SEBS含量,PA6结晶取向对线膨胀系数(CLTE)的影响.研究表明,当SEBS含量超过20wt%,PA6/SEBS注射成型体系形成层状共连续结构时,可以明显地降低流动方向的热膨胀系数.TEM和WAXD分析表明,该层状共连续结构中不仅SEBS微层取向,而且大多数PA6片晶垂直于SEBS微层生长,其中晶胞b轴(PA6分子链)倾向于沿流动方向取向.程序升温WAXD研究表明,PA6/SEBS(60/40)体系中各晶轴的线膨胀系数差别很大,其中晶胞b轴为-5.8×10-5K-1.具有负膨胀系数的晶胞b轴沿着流动方向取向可能是除层状共连续结构效应以外导致材料低膨胀化的第二种驱动力.     

珍珠质基底上CaCO3晶体的仿生生长研究

珍珠质是一种典型的有机，无机层状复合材料．其中95％以上是文石（CaCO3的一种晶型1小板片，填充在板片之间的薄层有机基质仅占1％-5％。这种精细的组织结构不仅使珍珠质具有绚丽的光泽。还赋予珍珠质超乎寻常的强度和韧性（为合成CaCO3晶体的3000多倍）。虽然在珍珠质中有机质的含量不足5％．然而正是这些有机质对珍珠质的结构、性能、晶体取向等起着至关重要的调控作用。     

原位法合成有取向无过渡区域的MFI分子筛膜

采用原位法在多孔α-Al₂O₃载体表面合成出连续覆盖且b轴取向的MFI分子筛晶种层，进一步在较温和的条件下进行二次生长，获得了b、a-轴取向的膜层，厚度约为3 μm。通过控制合成液的n_H2O/ n_Si比值，可以调节凝胶粒径大小，使其无法渗透到载体孔内，可以避免膜层与载体之间过渡区域的形成。与国内外现有合成方法比较，采用原位水热法合成晶种层并进一步进行二次生长得到分子筛膜的合成路线简单、易行，同样可以达到控制分子筛膜层晶体取向和微观结构的目的。     

硅桥调控的聚茂钒体系电子结构和输运性质

利用密度泛函理论和非平衡格林函数的方法对硅桥调控后的聚茂钒体系（[V（Cp）₂（SiH₂）_n]_m（n=1（a）,n=2（b）,n=3（c）;m=∞;Cp=环戊二烯基））的电子结构和输运性质进行了研究。研究结果表明：随着硅桥的增长,V-V的铁磁性耦合变弱而反铁磁性耦合增强。a和b证实为铁磁性基态,而c更倾向为反铁磁性基态。a和b的铁磁性基态中的每个钒原子的磁距为3.0μ_B,超过钒-苯络合物或者纯聚茂钒体系的3倍。a-c的输运性质同它们的电子结构相一致,导电性变化规律为c > b > a。对于a和b,自旋向下状态的导电性略强于自旋向上状态。a和c都发生了明显的负微分电阻效应而b却没有,这主要是由于两个二茂钒的排列取向不同：a和c（SiH₂为奇数）中二茂钒呈V-型取向排列,进而导致了类似于离子键的量子点耦合,而b（SiH₂是偶数）中二茂钒是平行-型取向排列,从而导致了类似于共价键的量子点耦合。此外,由于散射区和两个电极之间的不对称耦合,a-c的导电性对电压施加方向较敏感。     

Morphology,crystal structure,and orientation of poly-p-oxybenzoate on mica

Polymerization of p-acetoxybenzoic acid between mica sheets, from both the melt and dilute solution, in a wide range of polymerization temperatures (180–400°C) yields an epitaxial-like overgrowth of PpOBA on the mica cleavage surface. The PpOBA overgrowth forms long rows by lateral aggregation of ribbon crystals situated in three substrate directions rotated by 60°. The c-axes of the PpOBA phase I and II lattices are parallel to the 001 plane of the mica, coinciding with the a-axes of the mica hexagonal structure. The a_I- and b_II-axes lie predominantly on the mica surface. The surface-orienting effect is tentatively attributed to surface steps and or/polar effects; lattice matching does not occur. The recrystallization of bulk polymer samples previously prepared also leads to ordering between mica like that in melt or solution polymerization. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The Thermal Expansion of Wood Cellulose Crystals

We have investigated tension wood cellulose obtained from Populus maximowiczii using X-ray diffraction at temperatures from room temperature to 250 °C. Three equatorial and one meridional d-spacings showed a gradual linear increase with increasing temperature. For temperatures above 180 °C, however, the equatorial d-spacing increased dramatically. Thus, the linear and volume thermal expansion coefficients (TECs) below 180 °C were determined from the d-spacings. The linear TECs of the a-, b-, and c-axes were: α _a = 13.6 × 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹, α _b = −3.0× 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹, and α _c =0.6× 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹, respectively, and the volume TEC was β = 11.1× 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹. The anisotropic thermal expansion in the three coordinate directions was closely related to the crystal structure of the wood cellulose, and it governed the macroscopic thermal behavior of solid wood.     

Anisotropy in the physical properties of UNiGa under high pressure

The linear thermal expansion, compressibility and magnetostriction of UNiGa have been measured under high pressure. Huge anisotropic behaviors are observed in these physical quantities. The linear thermal expansion coefficients are α _a ∼ 16·10⁻⁶ K⁻¹ along thea-axis anda _c ∼5·10⁻⁶ K⁻¹ along thec-axis, and the linear compressibilities at room temperature are κ _a ∼ 3.6·10⁻³ GPa⁻¹ and κ _c ∼ 1.7·10⁻³ GPa⁻¹ alonga-axis andc-axes, respectively. UNiGa orders antiferromagnetically belowT _N=39 K and shows a metamagnetic transition at 4.2 K in magnetic fieldB _C=1 T. It is found thatT _N decreases andB _C increases with increasing pressure.     

Faceting of monolayer domains

The formation of facets in domains of three monolayer systems, differing in molecular structure or headgroup charge, is observed by Brewster-angle microscopy under different experimental conditions. Arachidic acid forms faceted domains on increasing the pH of the subphase from pH 12.0 to 12.3 or by adding traces of cholesterol at pH 12.0. The degree of faceting is gradually varied in a mixture of 1-monopalmitoyl-rac-glycerol and 1-O-hexadecyl-rac-glycerol. The surface potentials of the pure substances were measured in order to determine the electrostatic forces in the mixture. Reversible faceting of domains of heptadecanoic acid methyl ester is observed within 2 °C near 30 °C. Faceting in monolayers is explained on the basis of fundamental forces that govern domain texture and shape, including line tension anisotropy and electrostatic repulsive forces. This explanation also accounts for the formation of dendrites along certain directions at domains of arachidic acid and the methyl ester.

Crystal and molecular structure of (1S,2S,4aS, 8aS)-N-(N-allyldiaminomethanethione)-1-(2-hydroxy-2,5,5,8a-tetramethyldecahydronaphthalenyl) acetamide

Crystal and molecular structure of a new homodrimanic compound (1S,2S,4aS, 8aS)-N-(N-allyldiaminomethanethione)-1-(2-hydroxy-2,5,5,8a-tetramethyldecahydronaphthalenyl) acetamide has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal is monoclinic, unit cell parameters are: a = 9.577(2) Å, b = 7.414(1) Å, c = 16.856(3) Å; β = 94.83(3)°, space group P2₁, Z = 2, of composition C₂₀H₃₅N₃O₂S. Two cyclohexan fragments have ordinary structure and chair-configuration typical of this compound class in homodrimanic skeleton. Ethanol molecule is located in the outer sphere. The withdrawal of carbon atoms from planar fragments of cyclohexan rings varies within the limits from 0.722(5) Å to − 0.634(5) Å. A dihedral angle between the mean-square planes of the latter equals 16.0(2)°, torsion angle (5)-(5)-(10)-(16) 171.0(1)° indicates their trans-joint. In the side non linear chain allyl group is connected to terminal nitrogen atom of thiosemicarbazide molecule. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds between carbonyl atom of acetamide fragment, ethanol molecule, and donor-acceptor groups of thiosemicarbazide moiety play the main part in crystal structure organization.

An indirect thermodynamic model developed for initial stage sintering of an alumina compacts by using porosity measurements

The specific micro- and mesopore volumes (V) of alumina compacts fired between 900 and 1250 °C for 2 h were determined from nitrogen adsorption/desorption data. The V value was taken as a sintering equilibrium parameter. An arbitrary sintering equilibrium constant (K _a) was estimated for each firing temperature by assuming K _a = (V _i − V)/V, where V _i is the largest value at 900 °C before sintering. Also, an arbitrary Gibbs energy (ΔG _a °) of sintering was calculated for each temperature using the K _a value. The graph of ln K _a versus 1/T and ΔG _a ° versus T were plotted, and the real enthalpy (ΔH°) and the real entropy (ΔS°) of sintering were calculated from the slopes of the obtained straight lines, respectively. On the contrary, real ΔG° and K values were calculated using the real ΔH° and ΔS° values in the ΔG° = −RT lnK = 165814 − 124.7T relation in SI units.     

Structural studies of 3-chloro-N-(8′-quinolyl)×benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide

3-Chloro-N-(8′-quinolyl)benzo[b]thiophene-2-carboxamide was synthesized from 3-chlorobenzo[b] thiophene -2-carboxyl chloride and 8-aminoquinoline in the presence of triethylamine. The single crystal X-ray structure determination confirmed the earlier proposed structure and also characterized by ¹HNMR, and Mass spectroscopy. Crystallographic study reveals that the structure crystallizes in monoclinic system, a = 14.878(4) ?, b = 8.4292(15) ?, c = 25.461(7) ?, β = 112.022(18)°, Z = 8, V = 2960.20(12) ?³ with space group C2/c (No. 15). In the structure packing, three kinds of interactions are responsible for the stability of the structure. Infinite two-dimensional stair-like layered chains are formed by relatively strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds [C14—H14...O1]. These parallel chains are connected by several π—π and CH—π interactions, alternatively. There are two such parallel chains with 70.53°, which are in contact by van der Waals interactions.     

Dissociation Quotients for Citric Acid in Aqueous Sodium Chloride Media to 150°C

The three molal dissociation quotients for citric acid were measured potentiometrically with a hydrogen-electrode concentration cell from 5 to 150°C in NaCl solutions at ionic strengths of 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, and 1 molal. The molal dissociation quotients and available literature data at infinite dilution were fitted by empirical equations in the all-anionic form involving an extended Debye-Hückel term and up to five adjustable parameters involving functions of temperature and ionic strength. This treatment yielded the following thermodynamic quantitites for the first dissociation equilibrium at 25°C: logK _1a=−3.127±0.002, ΔH _1a ^o =4.1±0.2 kJ-mol⁻¹, ΔS _1a ^o =−46.3±0.7 J-K⁻¹-mol⁻¹, and ΔCp _1a ^o =−162±7 J-K⁻¹-mol⁻¹; for the second acid dissociation equilibrium at 25°C: logK _2a =−4.759±0.001, ΔH _2a ^o =2.2±0.1, ΔS _2a ^o =−83.8±0.4, and ΔCp _2a ^o =−192±15, and for the third dissociation equilibrium at 25°C: logK _3a=−6.397±0.002, ΔH _3a ^o =−3.6±0.2, ΔS _3a ^o =−134.5±0.7, and ΔCp _3a ^o =−231±7.
