铜-氧化铈界面:几何及电子结构

纳米催化材料的性能主要由粒子尺寸、形貌和界面决定,即活性位点的电子及几何结构.尺寸、形貌可控的纳米催化材料的合成及其反应性能的研究,即催化剂的构效关系,一直是催化领域的研究热点.氧化物负载的金属催化剂广泛应用于多相催化反应过程.基于氧化铈优异的氧化还原性能, Cu/CeO2催化剂在CO氧化、N2O消除、水气变换、甲醇合成等反应中表现出优异性能.其中,通过铜物种与氧化铈表面化学键合形成的金属-载体界面通常被认为是催化活性中心.铜物种和氧化铈的相互作用主要体现在氧化铈固定铜物种,而铜物种促进氧化铈的氧化还原能力,涉及Cu^2+/Cu^+/Cu^0和Ce^3+/Ce^4+之间电子的传输和转移.Cu/CeO2催化剂活性位的原子结构与金属-载体相互作用程度密切相关.氧化铈形貌和铜负载量是决定界面电子和几何结构的重要因素.常见的纳米氧化铈形貌包括纳米粒子(多面体)、纳米棒和纳米立方体,可分别选择性暴露(111)、(110)和(100)晶面;这些晶面上原子配位环境和化学性能决定了铜-氧化铈的键合方式和界面结构.与暴露{100}晶面的纳米立方体相比,主要暴露{100}/{110}镜面的氧化铈纳米棒、暴露{111}/{100}晶面的纳米粒子与铜物种具有更强的金属-载体相互作用程度,也更有利于铜物种的分散.铜的负载量也显著影响铜物种在特定氧化铈表面的分散度和化学状态;随着铜负载量的增加,可在氧化铈表面形成层状铜、铜团簇和铜纳米粒子.通常情况下,低负载量有利于单层、双层铜物种的形成,高负载量时则出现多层铜和铜纳米粒子.催化活性位通常是由铜原子与氧化铈上的氧空穴相互作用产生,与氧化铈表面氧空穴的数量和密度密切相关,即氧化铈形貌.本文总结了Cu/CeO2催化剂的研究进展,讨论了氧化铈形貌和铜负载量对铜物种分散度和化学状态的影响规律,总结了铜氧化铈界面结构的多维度表征结果,比较了Cu/CeO2催化剂在CO氧化、水气变换及甲醇合成中的活性位结构和反应机制.

Thermal study of phenol–formaldehyde resin modified with cashew nut shell liquid

In this study, an experimental phenol–formaldehyde resin with 20% phenol replacement by cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) was studied and compared with a conventional phenol–formaldehyde resin synthesized totally from petrochemical raw materials. The resins were characterized with standard lab analysis for their physicochemical specifications, while their thermal properties were studied with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). For comparison reasons pure CNSL and wood were also included in the TGA study. A DSC study conducted both for the neat resins and the system wood–resin as to examine the effect of wood on the curing performance of the resins in the real time conditions of their usage at the wood-based panels industry.The adhesion strength of these resins was investigated by their application in plywood production. The plywood panels were tested for their shear strength and wood failure performance while their free formaldehyde emissions were determined with the desiccator method. It was proved that although the neat CNSL modified PF resin (PCF) cures at longer time and higher temperature than a conventional PF resin, wood affects it more significantly, resulting in the evening of their curing performance. This is a novel finding that manifests the possibility of replacing a convention PF resin by a CNSL modified one in the plywood production, without changing any of their production conditions and with improvement to their overall properties.     

Cyanate Ester/Functionalized Silica Nanocomposite: Synthesis,Characterization and Properties

In this paper silica nanoparticles with covalently grafted polymer chains were incorporated into bisphenol A dicyanate ester (BADCy) to prepare composites which resulted in improvements in the mechanical and thermal properties. Fourier‐transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to examine the surface functionalization of silica nanoparticles. The effects of functionalized SiO₂ (F‐SiO₂) on the curing reactivity mechanical and thermal properties of BADCy resin were investigated systematically. The curing reaction of the system was facilitated with the addition of F‐SiO₂. Meanwhile compared with the neat resin the incorporation of appropriate content of modified F‐SiO₂ can enhance the mechanical properties including impact flexural strengths and fracture toughness K_IC of BADCy resin. In addition the thermal stability of BADCy/F‐SiO₂ nanocomposites is also superior to that of pure BADCy resin.     

Preparation and properties of cyanate ester/polyorganosiloxane blends with lower dielectric loss and improved toughness

Novel modified cyanate ester resins (EPMPS‐n/BADCy), with significantly decreased dielectric loss and improved toughness, were developed by copolymerizing the cyanate ester resin, 2, 2′‐bis (4‐cyanatophenyl) isopropylidene resin) (BADCy), with an epoxidized methyl phenyl silicone resin (EPMPS). The curing behavior of EPMPS‐n/BADCy and the typical properties of the corresponding cured EPMPS‐n/BADCy were systematically investigated. The results show that the addition of EPMPS into BADCy can not only accelerate the curing reaction of BADCy, but also decrease dielectric loss and enhance the impact strength as well as water resistance. For example, in the case of the modified BADCy resin with 15 wt%EPMPS, its impact strength is 17.8 kJ/m², about 3 times of that of pure BADCy resin and its water absorption is only 0.25%, about one‐half of that of pure BADCy resin. In addition, while the dielectric loss is only 79% of that of pure BADCy resin, while its dielectric constant remains constant over the frequency range of 1KHz‐1 MHz. The above results suggest that EPMPS‐n/BADCy have great potential to be used as the matrix or adhesive for advanced composites. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Statistical Analysis of Polymer Nanocomposites for Mechanical Properties

Epoxy resins, due to their high stiffness, ease of processing, good heat, and chemical resistance obtained from cross-linked structures, have found applications in electronics, adhesives coatings, industrial tooling, and aeronautic and automotive industries. These resins are inherently brittle, which has limited their further application. The emphasis of this study is to improve the properties of the epoxy resin with a low-concentration (up to 0.4% by weight) addition of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs). Mechanical characterization of the modified composites was conducted to study the effect of MWCNTs infusion in the epoxy resin. Nanocomposites samples showed significantly higher tensile strength and fracture toughness compared to pure epoxy samples. The morphological studies of the modified composites were studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).     

Novel toughened cyanate ester resin with good dielectric properties and thermal stability by copolymerizing with hyperbranched polysiloxane and epoxy resin

A novel toughened cyanate ester (CE) resin with good dielectric properties and thermal stability was developed by copolymerizing 2,2′‐bis(4‐cyanatophenyl)iso‐propylidene (BCE) with a combined modifier (HBPSiEP) made up of hyperbranched polysiloxane (HBPSi) and epoxy (EP) resin. HBPSi was synthesized through the hydrolysis of 3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate. The effect of differing stoichiometries of HBPSiEP on the curing characteristics and performance of BCE resin is discussed. Results show that the incorporation of HBPSiEP can not only effectively promote the curing reaction of BCE, but can also significantly improve the toughness of the cured BCE resin. In addition, the toughening effect of HBPSiEP is greater than single EP resin. For example, the impact strength of modified BCE resin with 30 wt% of HBPSiEP is 23.3 KJ/m², which is more than 2.5 times of that of pure BCE resin, while the maximum impact strength of EP/BCE resin is about 2 times of pure BCE resin. It is worthy to note that HBPSiEP/BCE resins also exhibit improved thermal stability, dielectric properties, and flame retardancy, suggesting that the novel toughened CE resins have great potentiality to be used as a matrix for advanced functional composites or electronic packing resins.

Performance of high-temperature thermosetting polyimide composites modified with thermoplastic polyimide

The preparation of polyimide (PI) resin with high heat resistance and toughness is a significant challenge. In this study, thermoplastic PI (TPI) was used to toughen thermosetting PIs, and toughened PI (TPI/PI) blends were prepared. The modified PI resin system exhibited good thermal stability, excellent heat resistance, and high toughness. The results indicated that the TPI/PI blends maintained the curing behavior and characteristics of the PI oligomer. The T_g of the cured TPI/PI blend exceeded 395 °C, and the T_5% values were in the range of 533–563 °C, suggesting excellent thermal stability and heat resistance. The maximum impact strength was increased by 46% compared with that of pure PI, indicating the excellent toughening effect of the TPI. Carbon fiber-reinforced PI composites were prepared using the toughening system as a matrix. The compression-after-impact values of the carbon fiber-reinforced PI composites were up to 190 MPa, indicating the excellent toughness of the materials.     

Synthesis and application of phenolic resin internally toughened by chain extension polymer of epoxidized soybean oil

A novel epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) internally toughened phenolic resin(ESO-IT-PR) with both good toughness and excellent thermal stability was prepared as the matrix resin of copper clad laminate (CCL). FTIR was adopted to investigate the molecular structure of modified phenolic resins and SEM was used to observe the micro morphology of their impacted intersections. The properties of CCLs prepared with these modified phenolic resins were studied to determine the optimal process and investigate the toughening mechanism. The main modifying mechanism is the etherification reaction between phenol hydroxyl and ESO catalyzed by triethanolamine and the chain extension polymerization between ESO and multi-amine gives the long-chain ESO epoxy grafting on the phenolic resin prepolymer. when the ESO content is 30% and the curing agent content is 7%, the ESO toughened phenolic resin possesses optimal performance. The flexible ESO epoxy shows significant toughening effect and it crosslinks with the phenolic resin to form an internally toughened network, which is the key factor for improving the solderleaching resistance of CCL prepared with this modified phenolic resin. __________ Translated from Journal of South China University of Technology (Natural Science Edition), 2007, 35(7): 99–104 [译自: 华南理工大学学报(自然科学版)]     

Effect of Pickering emulsion on the mechanical performances and fracture toughness of epoxy composites

The improvement of mechanical properties and toughness of nanoparticles for epoxy composites was mostly dependent on the disperse state of nanoparticles in epoxy matrices. When the content of nanoparticles was higher than a threshold value, it was easy to aggregate and then affect the improvement effect. Pickering emulsion was prepared using SiO₂ nanoparticles as emulsifier and functional monomer as oil phase. The influence of Pickering emulsion on the curing process was investigated. The effect of Pickering emulsion on the mechanical properties, toughness, and glass transition temperature (Tg) was studied. Impact and tensile fracture surface were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results from differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), tensile, impact, and fracture toughness tests are provided. The results indicated that the introduction of Pickering emulsion can eliminate the residual stress and accelerate curing reaction. Epoxy composites were capable of increasing tensile strength by up to 29.9%, impact strength of three‐fold, fracture toughness of 35%, and Tg of 20.7°C in comparison with the reference sample. SEM images showed that SiO₂ nanoparticles exhibit a good dispersion in epoxy matrix. The increases in mechanical properties, toughness, and Tg of epoxy composites were attributed to the “Second Phase Toughness” mechanism.     

Resin impregnation of cellulose nanofibril films facilitated by water swelling

Flexible composite films were produced by impregnating aqueous phenol formaldehyde (PF) resin into water-swollen cellulose nanofibril (CNF) films. CNF films were prepared using a pressurized filtration method in combination with freeze drying. The freeze-dried films were swollen with water then impregnated with PF resin by soaking in aqueous resin solutions of varying concentrations. Small amounts of PF slightly enhanced the tensile properties of CNF films. The formulation with the best mechanical properties was CNF/PF films with 8 wt % resin exhibiting tensile stress and toughness of 248 MPa and 26 MJ/m³, respectively. Resin concentrations higher than about 8 % resulted in composites with decreased tensile properties as compared to neat CNF films. The wet strength of the composite films was significantly higher than that of the neat CNF films. The resulting composites showed greater resistance to moisture absorption accompanied by reduced thickness swelling when soaked in water as compared to neat CNF films. The composites also showed decreased oxygen permeability at low humidity compared to neat films, but the composites did not show improved barrier properties at high humidity.
