PAMS微球制备过程中电解质的影响

为调控固化过程中双重乳液内径的变化和降低聚-α-甲基苯乙烯(PAMS)微球的表面粗糙度,研究了双重乳液固化过程中内外水相中电解质浓度对水在油相液膜中迁移和分相行为的影响。结果表明:仅在外水相中添加电解质时,内水相的渗透压高于外水相,使得内相水向外水相迁移,导致固化后的微球表面起皱。当在内外水相同时添加电解质时,由于平衡了三相之间水的化学势,抑制了水在油相液膜中的迁移和分相,导致PAMS微球壳壁内气泡体积和数量显著降低。同时,在内外水相中同时添加不同浓度的电解质,还可显著改善双重乳液三相之间的密度匹配度,从而提高微球的球形度和壁厚均匀性。

基于二次乳化技术产生W1/O/W2双重乳液,采用乳液微封装技术制备聚--甲基苯乙烯(PAMS)空心微球,研究了部分工艺参数对PAMS微球缺损形态和比例的影响。实验结果表明:薄壁微球的低强度导致了微球表面缺损。当微球壁厚一定时,有3个因素影响缺损微球比例:W2相中聚乙烯醇质量分数、CaCl2质量分数和O/W2的相比,当它们分别为1.0%,1.5%,0.01时,薄壁(2 m)微球的缺损比例低于40%,球壳内也无气泡存在。     

聚苯乙烯相对分子量对薄壁聚苯乙烯空心微球质量的影响北大核心CSCD

激光惯性约束聚变(ICF)作为探索受控核聚变的有效途径,有望获得清洁无污染的能源,而薄壁聚苯乙烯(PS)空心微球是ICF物理实验中亟需的一类微球。针对薄壁空心微球因径厚比(直径/壁厚)增大导致其在干燥、使用中易开裂的问题,研究了PS原料对薄壁微球质量的影响,探讨了其影响机制。结果表明:当油相PS质量分数为4%时,随着油相粘度增加,W1/O/W2复合乳粒稳定性逐渐提高;当油相质量分数不低于8%时,复合乳粒稳定性良好。PS原料对微球表面粗糙度影响较小,微球球形度和壁厚均匀性随初始油相粘度的增大而降低,在干燥过程中微球开裂率随原料力学性能提高而减小。在外水相中引入氟苯(FB)液滴,延缓固化速率,可减小油相粘度增加对微球球形度和壁厚均匀性的不利影响。     

分子量对PAMS热降解等温活化能的影响

聚α-甲基苯乙烯(PAMS)是制备激光惯性约束聚变(ICF)用靶丸的重要芯轴材料之一。采用快速热解气相色谱-质谱法(Py-GC-MS)和热重分析技术(TG/DTG)分析了不同分子量PAMS的热降解产物和热降解温度,并通过Arrhenius方程计算了不同分子量PAMS的等温热降解活化能。结果表明:分子量对PAMS热降解产物的影响可忽略不计,其热降解产物均为α甲基苯乙烯单体,且产率均接近100%;热降解温度随PAMS分子量的增加而降低,其热降解温度介于240~450 ℃之间;在相同降解率下,随分子量的减小,PAMS的热降解活化能增加,且PAMS的热降解活化能随着热降解率的增加而增加。     

微流控技术中双重乳粒尺寸调控规律的研究

在采用乳液微封装技术制备惯性聚变用聚-α-甲基苯乙烯(PAMS)靶丸芯轴过程中,以氟苯为油相溶剂,水溶性聚合物水溶液为外水相制备水包油包水(W1/O/W2)双重复合乳粒,对复合乳粒进行固化干燥得到PAMS靶丸芯轴.本文设计搭建了一套双重同轴乳粒发生器,用微流控技术产生PAMS靶丸复合乳粒,该乳粒发生器采用两种不同结构:"两步法"通道与"一步法"通道.研究了利用此乳粒发生器制备复合乳粒过程中,乳粒形成机理及三相流速对乳粒尺寸调控规律.实验结果显示,乳粒发生器结构上的细小差异会极大地影响乳粒形成机理以及尺寸变化规律.在"两步法"通道结构中,内水相流速对复合乳粒的形成及外径无明显影响,而外径随外水相流速的变化规律与单乳粒实心液滴(O/W2)尺寸变化规律相同;在固定体系中,乳粒尺寸取决于内水相与油相流速之和及外水相流速,而与内水相和油相流速之比无关.然而在"一步法"通道中,由于W1-O界面的存在,内水相流速对复合乳粒外径的影响非常大;复合乳粒外径不仅与内层相界面的界面张力大小有关,还与内水相与油相流速之比有关.最后,将实验中的双重复合乳粒置于水溶性聚合物水溶液中进行固化,得到毫米级空心聚合物微球.

聚乙烯醇水溶液二维定向凝固的微观组织演化

为了深入探究定向多孔聚合物材料的微观组织形成机理,利用定向凝固原位实时观察手段,研究不同浓度及不同分子量聚乙烯醇(PVA)水溶液在不同抽拉速度下的定向凝固形貌演化.PVA水溶液的定向凝固形态在低浓度(1 wt%,2.5 wt%)和小分子量(M_w=24000)情况下,一次枝晶间距随着抽拉速度的增加而减小.随着PVA浓度和分子量的增加,一次枝晶间距随抽拉速度变化不明显,枝晶主轴尺寸则随速度增加呈现减小的趋势.与传统凝固形态形成机理相比,PVA水溶液的凝固形态由PVA分子的扩散引起的凝固界面不稳定性机理和PVA高分子链交联引起的局部相分离机理竞争决定.     

Diffusion-stress coupling in liquid phase during rapid solidification of binary mixtures

An analytical model has been developed to describe the diffusion-viscous stress coupling in the liquid phase during rapid solidification of binary mixtures. The model starts with a set of evolution equations for diffusion flux and viscous pressure tensor, based on extended irreversible thermodynamics. It has been demonstrated that the diffusion-stress coupling leads to non-Fickian diffusion effects in the liquid phase. With only diffusive dynamics, the model results in the nonlocal diffusion equations of parabolic type, which imply the transition to complete solute trapping only asymptotically at an infinite interface velocity. With the wavelike dynamics, the model leads to the nonlocal diffusion equations of hyperbolic type and describes the transition to complete solute trapping and diffusionless solidification at a finite interface velocity in accordance with experimental data and molecular dynamic simulation.     

A stochastic model for solidification

A 3-dimensional (2-space, 1-time) model relating the diffusion of heat and mass to the kinetic processes at the solid-liquid interface, using a stochastic approach is presented in this paper. This paper is divided in two parts. In the first part the basic set of equations describing solidification alongwith their analysis and solution are given. The process of solidification has a stochastic character and depends on the net probability of transfer of atoms from liquid to the solid phase. This has been modeled by a Markov process in which knowledge of the parameters at the initial time only is needed to evaluate the time evolution of the system. Solidification process is expressed in terms of four coupled equations, namely, the diffusion equations for heat and mass, the equations for concentration of the solid phase and for rate of growth of the solid-liquid interface. The position of the solid-liquid interface is represented with the help of a delta function and it is defined as the surface at which latent heat is evolved. A numerical method is used to solve the equations appearing in the model. In the second part the results i.e. the time evolution of the solid-liquid interface shape and its concentration, rate of growth and temperature are given.     

液态Ti-Al合金的深过冷与快速枝晶生长

采用电磁悬浮和自由落体两种试验技术研究了液态Ti-25 wt.%Al合金的亚稳过冷能力、晶体形核机制和枝晶生长过程. 试验发现, 即使电磁悬浮无容器状态下仍难以消除润湿角θ ≥60°的异质晶核, 合金熔体过冷度可达210 K (0.11T_L). β-Ti相形核的热力学驱动力随过冷度近似以线性方式增大, 其枝晶生长速度高达11.2 m/s, 从而在慢速冷却条件下实现了快速凝固. 理论计算表明, 随着过冷度的逐步增大, β相枝晶生长从溶质扩散控制转变为热扩散控制. 当过冷度超过100 K时, 非平衡溶质截留效应可使合金熔体发生无偏析凝固. 然而, 单靠深过冷状态不足以抑制β相的后续固态相变. 对于落管中快速凝固的直径77-1048 μm合金液滴, 其冷却速率最高达1.05×10⁵ K/s, 深过冷与快速冷却的耦合作用能更有效地调控凝固组织形成过程.     

Effects of Molecular Weight on Thermal Degradation of Poly(α-methyl styrene) in Nitrogen

The effects of molecular weight on the thermal degradation behavior of poly(α-methyl styrene) (PAMS) was investigated by pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The Py-GC/MS analysis results showed that the degradation of PAMS with different molecular weights in nitrogen produced only the monomer, alpha-methylstyrene. The TGA results showed a pronounced reduction in the decomposition temperature with increasing molecular weight. The degradation kinetic parameters, calculated by the Kissinger and the Coats–Redfern methods, further revealed that the activation energy and the pre-exponential factor decreased with increasing molecular weight. Most importantly, the degradation order of the PAMS in nitrogen remained around 1, independent of the molecular weight, suggesting the maintenance of the depolymerization mechanism. All the above results provided an insight into the effects of molecular weight on the thermal degradation behavior of PAMS.     

The mass transfer process and the growth rate of NaCl crystal growth by evaporation based on temporal phase evaluation

The mass transfer process and the crystal growth rate have been proved to be very important in the study of crystal growth kinetics, which influence the crystal quality and morphological stability. In this paper, a new method based on temporal phase evaluation was presented to characterize the mass transfer process in situ and determine the crystal growth rate. The crystallization process of NaCl crystal growth by evaporation was monitored in situ by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, and the absolute concentration evolution, the evaporation rate and the real-time supersaturation of solution were obtained using temporal phase analysis, which acted as a novel technique to extract phase variation along time axis recently. Based on the evaporation rate and the absolution concentration, a new method to calculate mass transfer flux during the crystal growth without the knowledge of the mass transfer coefficient was proposed, and then the crystal growth rate could also be retrieved under the hypothesis of cubic crystals. The results show that the crystal growth rate increases with the supersaturation linearly. It is in agreement with the diffusion theories, which presume that matter is deposited continuously on a crystal face at a rate proportional to the difference in concentration between the points of deposition and the bulk of solution. The method is applicable to the research of crystallization process based on evaporation or vapor diffusion of which the precise conditions of nucleation and supersaturation are usually unknown because of the complexity of the evaporation rate and crystal growth rate.
