Annealing induced variation of crystalline structure and mechanical properties of syndiotactic polypropylene fibers

<正>Syndiotactic polypropylene(sPP) as-spun fiber(sPP1) and drawn fiber(sPP2) were prepared by melt-spinning and melt-spinning/hot-drawing,respectively.The structure transition of the two fibers induced by annealing at different temperatures and the corresponding mechanical properties were subsequently investigated by the combination of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),wide-angle X-ray diffraction(WAXD) and tensile testing.The results indicate that the chain conformation and crystal forms of the two sPP fibers are not obviously changed at low annealing temperature (40℃).With increasing the annealing temperature,the trans-planar conformation and mesophase in sPP1 and sPP2 fibers can be completely transformed to helical conformation and crystal form I under tension.Upon removing the tension,a small amount of mesophase and trans-planar conformation will be regained.The mechanical properties of the annealed fibers are manifestly dependent on their initial structure and the annealing temperature.     

Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium 3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-onate Monohydrate

The thermal decomposition of ammonium 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-onate monohydrate[NH4（NTO）·H2O] was studied by means of thermal analysis-MS coupling and the combination technique of in situ thermolysis cell with rapid-scan Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that there are two endothermic steps and one exothermic step in the decomposition process of NH4（NTO）·H2O. The detected gas products consist of NH3, H2O, N2, CO2, CO, and NO2.     

Formation of Ultrafine Apatite Fibers by Sol-gel/Electrospinning

Ultrafine apatite fibers were prepared by electrospinning of sol-gel precursor/poly（ vinyl pyrrolidone） （PVP） solutions followed by subsequent calcination. The as-electrospun and calcinated fibers were observed under a scanning electron microscope and an optical polarizing microscope. Results show that the morphology and the diameter of as-electrospun fibers strongly depend on the viscosity and the surface tension of sol-gel precursor/PVP solutions. After calcination, the smooth as-electrospun fibers shrink and the fiber diameter decreases because of the removal of the polymer. The chemical evolution upon the transformation of the precursor from a gel to the final apatite fibers was investigated by thermogravimetric-differenfial thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. It is thus suggested that the crystalline structure of the calcined fibers is largely influenced by the calcination temperature. After being calcined at 600 ℃, the apatite fibers with a diameter of about 280 nm containing β-tricalcium phosphate were obtained.     

Pyrolysis Mechanism of Hemicellulose Monosaccharides in Different Catalytic Processes

The pyrolysis behaviors of four different hemicellulose monosaccharides, namely, two pentoses（xylose and arabinose） and two hexoses（mannose and galactose） catalyzed by HZSM-5 were investigated. The effects of two different processes by which the catalyst comes into contact with the substrate, namely, mixed with monosaccha- ride（in-bed） or layered above monosaccharide（in situ）, were compared. Evolution characteristics of typical pyrolytic products（H20, CO2, acids, furans and aromatics） were achieved by thermogravimetry-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The in-bed catalytic process significantly lowered the pyrolytic temperature and increased the produc- tion of furans and acids at a low temperature by enhancing dehydration, retro-aldol fragmentation and Grob fragmen- tation. During the in situ catalytic process, volatiles generated from monosaccharides passed through a catalyst bed and underwent further dehydration, decarboxylation, and decarbonylation, significantly lowering the yields of acids and furans. The yield of aromatics was enhanced, and the corresponding volatilization temperature was lowered, es- pecially under the in-bed catalytic conditions. Pentoses entered into the zeolite pores more easily than hexoses did because of their smaller molecular size; thus, the in-bed catalytic process drastically affected pentose pyrolysis.     

Synthesis and characterization of Bi-functional photorefractive polymers with high molecular weight and low glass transition temperature

Carbazole-based bi-functional photorefractive polyacrylates were prepared via free radical polymerization and post-azo-coupling reaction. The structure of polymers was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1H-NMR) spectroscopy. The differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and the thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA) were used to characterize the thermal property of polymers. The results indicate that though the glass transition temperature(Tg) of polymers increases with increasing the ratio of NLO groups, the polymers with different ratios of NLO groups still all show low glass transition temperatures around 60 °C, and good thermal stability, which are favorable to the practical application of these polymers. The gel permeation chromatographic(GPC) result indicates that these polymers all have high-molecular-weight which is favorable to the long term stability of the material. Further, these polymers have good solubility in chloroform solvent, and the solutions can easily be fabricated into optically transparent films. Gain coefficients of 75 cm-1, 185 cm-1 and 66 cm-1 can be observed at zero external electric field without any addition agent or pre-poling for polymers P-2, P-3 and P-4 respectively. The different contents of NLO groups result in the different properties of polymers P-2, P-3 and P-4.     

Preparation of Crack-free 3Y-TZP/Al2O3 Composite Ceramic Fiber by Electrolysis-sol-gel Method

Polycrystalline 3Y-TZP/Al2O3 tetragonal zirconia fiber was obtained by the pyrolysis of gel fibers using zirconium oxychloride octahydrate(ZOC)as the raw material.The spinnable zirconia sol was prepared by electrolyzing the zirconium oxychloride octahydrate(ZOC)solution in the presence of acetic acid and sugar(sucrose,glucrose or fructose),in which the molar ratios of CH3COOH/ZOC and sugar/ZOC were 1.0-4.0 and 0.2-0.4,respectively.The prepared tetragonal zirconia fibers sintered at different temperatures showed smooth and crack-free surfaces with diameters of 5-10 μm.The addition of Al2O3 enhanced the sintering process and prevented the crystals from growing.Thermogravimetric analysis(TG),X-ray diffraction(XRD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),and scanning electron microscope(SEM)techniques were used to characterize the prepared fibers.     

Comparison of chain structures between high-speed extrusion coating polyethylene resins by preparative temperature rising elution fractionation and cross-fractionation

Two polyethylene(PE) resins(samples A and B) are synthesized as high-speed extrusion coatings with similar minimum coating thickness and neck-in performance but different maximum coating speeds. Both samples are separated into seven fractions using preparative temperature rising elution fractionation. The microstructures of the original samples and their fractions are studied by high-temperature gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and successive self-nucleation/annealing thermal fractionation. Compared with sample B, sample A has a broader MWD, more LCB contents, and less SCB contents. Moreover, sample A contains slightly more 30 °C and 50 °C fractions with lower molecular weights, and more fractions at 75 °C and 85 °C with higher molecular weight. The chain structure and its distribution in the two PE resins are studied in detail, and the relationship between the chain structure and resin properties is also discussed.     

Shape-stabilized phase change materials with high phase change enthalpy based on synthetic comb-like poly(acrylonitrile-co-ethylene glycol) for thermal management

Shape-stabilized poly(acrylonitrile-co-ethylene glycol)(PANEG) copolymer with comb-like structure was prepared via simple free-radical solution polymerization, where acrylic acid poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether ester(MPEGA) and acrylonitrile(AN) were employed as monomers. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), 1 H and 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1 H and 13 C NMR), wide-angle X-ray diffraction(WXAD) were used to characterize the chemical structure of resultant PANEG. In addition, the influences of MPEGA contents on energy storage performance, thermal reliability and thermal stability of PANEG materials were evaluated based on differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), polarizing optical microscopy(POM), thermal infrared imager and thermogravimetry analyzer(TG). The comb-like PANEG demonstrated a favorable temperature regulation performance and thermal reliability. With the increase of MPEGA contents, the enthalpy of PANEG increased, and when the content of MPEGA was 80 wt%, the phase change enthalpy of synthesized PANEG-80 reached to 106.70 J/g with a stable heat storage performance after 100 thermal cycling. Thermal infrared images and cooling curves revealed that synthetic PANEG could sustain a temperature in ranges of 22–31 °C for continuous 25 min, presenting excellent temperature regulation performance. Also, comb-like PANEG could be uniformly dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO),indicating that PANEG phase change fibers with potential applications in fields of intelligent thermoregulating textile and heat energy management could be obtained via one-step wet spinning.     

Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/carbon black composite fibers prepared by electrospinning

Poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET)/carbon black(CB) composite fibers with improved mechanical properties in tensile modulus and tensile strength are prepared by eletrospinning. Stable dispersions suitable for electrospinning are obtained by dispersing melt pre-compounded PET/CB composites in hexafluoroisopropanol. The fiber morphology and CB dispersion are investigated by FESEM and TEM. The addition of CB has no obvious effect on fiber diameter, and the average fiber diameters for all the samples are around 2-3 μm. CB in the fibers is in the form of submicron-sized clusters. The thermal properties of the PET/CB composite fibers are evaluated by DSC, showing almost unchanged melting temperature and crystallinity. Uniaxial tensile tests are used to measure the mechanical properties of the PET/CB composite fiber mats. The fiber mats containing 1 wt%-8.5 wt% CB have significantly improved tensile modulus compared to neat PET fiber mat, showing reinforcing effect of CB. The electrical conductivity of the fiber mats has also been tested.     

Thermal-induced Unfolding of β-Crystallin and Disassembly of its Oligomers Revealed by Temperature-Jump Time-Resolved Infrared Spectroscopy

β-Crystallins are the major structural proteins existing in the vertebrate lens, and their conformational stability is critical in maintaining the life-long transparency and refraction index of the lens. Seven subunits of β-crystallins naturally assemble into various heteroge- neous oligomers with different sizes. Here, we systematically investigated the thermal sta- bility of the different secondary structures present in β-Crystallins and then the dynamic process for the thermal-induced unfolding of β-crystallins by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-monitored thermal titration and temperature-jump nanosecond time-resolved IR difference absorbance spectra. Our results show that the N-terminal anti-parallel β-sheets in β-crystallin are the most unstable with a transition midpoint temperature at 36.0-2.1℃, leading to the formation of an intermediate consisting vastly of random coil structures. This intermediate structure is temporally assigned to that of the monomer generated by the thermal-induced disassembly of β-crystallin oligomers with a transition midpoint tempera- ture of 40.4-0.7℃. The global unfolding of β-crystallins that leads to denaturation and aggregation indicated by the formation of intermolecular anti-parallel β-sheets has a transi- tion midpoint temperature determined as 72.4-0.2 ℃. Temperature-jump time-resolved IR absorbance difference spectroscopy analysis further reveals that thermal-induced unfolding of β-crystallins occurs firstly in the anti-parallel β-sheets in the N-terminal domains with a time constant of 50 ns.

环己烯对噻吩在CuY分子筛上吸附的影响机制

A CuY zeolite prepared by liquid phase ion exchange was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, pyridine in situ Fourier transform infrared (in situ FTIR) spectroscopy, and ammonia temperature programmed desorption. The effect of cyclohexene on the adsorption of thiophene over the prepared CuY zeolite was explored by in situ FTIR. In particular, the role of the zeolite's Br?nsted acidity was investigated in the adsorption process. The results show that the percentage of Cu⁺ on the surface of the CuY zeolite can reach 77%. The surface acidity of the CuY zeolite mainly comprises medium and strong Br?nsted acidity and Lewis acidity. According to the adsorption results, cyclohexene negatively influences thiophene adsorption on the Br?nsted or Lewis acid sites in CuY by competitive adsorption. Although polymerization of thiophene and cyclohexene can occur easily on the HY or REY zeolites, the presence of Br?nsted acids in the CuY zeolite was not sufficient to polymerize either thiophene or cyclohexene. This difference may be caused by an anti-synergistic effect between the Cu ions of the CuY zeolite and neighboring Br?nsted acid sites, the result of which inhibits the polymerization of adsorbed thiophene and cyclohexene.
