胶粉在改性沥青中的物化行为分析

生产胶粉改性沥青(CRMA)是实现废橡胶资源化利用及减轻环境污染的有效途径。为了研究胶粉在沥青中的物理及化学行为,采用邻苯二甲酸二丁酯(DBP)模拟沥青的轻组分,将胶粉置入DBP中,在175℃下,反应1.5 h后分离胶粉与轻组分,对轻组分进行气相色谱与质谱联用(GC-MS)分析,讨论胶粉与轻组分发生的物理化学作用;对不同条件下制备的胶粉改性沥青分离胶粉后进行红外光谱(IR)和差示扫描量热(DSC)分析,研究橡胶改性沥青中的官能团变化和热力学特性。结果表明,分离胶粉后的DBP中存在19种检出物,除含量最高的DBP外,其余物质均为胶粉浸出物或与轻组分的反应产物,即胶粉在轻组分中发生了复杂的物理化学反应。胶粉沥青样品中的—CH_2和C=C双键等特征官能团吸收峰大幅增强,橡胶分子在沥青中发生断链降解释放出小分子物质溶于沥青组分发挥改性作用;195℃、1.5 h和175℃、3.0 h制备的沥青样品DSC谱线出现了强烈的吸热峰,即处理温度过高或时间过长,可能发生胶粉过度降解、胶粉团聚或沥青老化行为,使胶粉改性沥青的物化状态发生改变,导致性能劣化。从胶粉物化变化的角度,建议制备胶粉改性沥青时,胶粉掺量(质量分数)应在20%左右,处理温度不高于195℃,处理时间不超过1.5 h。

Thermal and Temporal Aging of Silica Gels in Monomer Solutions

In previous work we have introduced the idea of preparing ambient pressure dried silica aerogels by increasing the wet gels' stiffness by aging in a TEOS solution until shrinkage during drying is almost eliminated. The present work elucidates the possibilities for obtaining ambient pressure dried aerogels employing this idea, however, cheap water soluble sodium silicate (water glass) precursors have been used to increase the economic feasibility of the process.We have shown how the G modulus of water glass based gels can be increased by aging in TEOS solution and gels with a density down to 0.2 g/cm3 can be obtained. These wet gels show a higher reactivity towards TEOS compared to TEOS based gels. We have also introduced the idea of aging wet gels in a solution where the monomers are provided from water glass instead of TEOS and some initial results on G modulus and density are included.

Correlation of Cooperatively Localized Rearrangement on the “Fluidized Domain”of Polymers to Their Nonexponentially Viscoelastic Behavior and Lifetime at Double Aging Processes II: Estimation of Long-term Mechanical Behavior and Lifetime of Polymeric Mate

Three kinds of polymeric materials are taken as example for the verification of linear ex-trapolation method from unified master lines with reduced universal equations on creep and stress relaxation tests. The theoretical values of long-term mechanical behavior and lifetime for a cured epoxide, polypropylene, poly(methyl-methacrylate), and SBR rubber are directly evaluated with the universal equations on reduced creep compliance and reduced stress relax-ation modulus and are compared with their predicted values by the linear extrapolation from the unified master lines of creep and stress relaxation. The results show that the theoretical values of dimensional stability, bearing ability and lifetime are in an excellent agreement with the predicted values, it shows that the linear extrapolation method is more simple and reliable. The dependences of long-term mechanical behaviors and lifetime on the different aging times are discussed.     

Simultaneous measurement of NAD metabolome in aged mice tissue using liquid chromatography tandem‐mass spectrometry

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a major co‐factor that mediates multiple biological processes including redox reaction and gene expression. Recently, NAD metabolism has received considerable attention because administration of NAD precursors exhibited beneficial effects against aging‐related metabolic disorders in animals. Although numerous studies have reported that NAD levels decline with aging in multiple animal tissues, the pathway and kinetics of NAD metabolism in aged organs are not completely understood. To determine the NAD metabolism upon aging, we developed targeted metabolomics based on an LC/MS/MS system. Our method is simple and applicable to crude biological samples, including culture cells and animal tissues. Unlike a conventional enzymatic cycling assay, our approach can determine NAD and NADH (reduced form of NAD) by performing a single sample preparation. Further, we validated our method using biological samples and investigated the alteration of the NAD metabolome during aging. Consistent with previous reports, the NAD levels in the liver and skeletal muscle decreased with aging. Further, we detected a significant increase in nicotinamide mononucleotide and nicotinamide riboside in the kidney upon aging. The LC/MS/MS‐based NAD metabolomics that we have developed is extensively applicable to biomedical studies, and the results will present innovative ideas for the aging studies, especially for that of NAD metabolism.     

Mechano‐reversible physical aging of elastic oriented syndiotactic polypropylene

Syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP), obtained at 0 °C in the trans‐planar mesophase, was drawn at room temperature up to λ = 6, and left at room temperature for 1 year with fixed or relaxed ends. Data analysis allowed the clarification of the structure of the crystalline phases and their transformations during the aging. In both oriented samples similar structural changes were observed, although they were due to different aging mechanisms. The physical aging led to the crystallization in both samples of an oriented helical form, due to a partial transformation of the mesophase and of the amorphous phase. In the oriented sample aged with fixed ends, a small fraction of the crystalline trans‐planar form III became stable even by releasing the tension after 1 year. This last sample did not undergo the large shrinkage, always observed by unloaded sPP after drawing, and therefore was no more elastic. Also, the sample aged with free ends for 1 year showed a reduced elasticity in terms of both dissipated energy and permanent set. However, after a new deformation up to λ = 6, the fiber recovered its previous elasticity. Indeed a mechano‐reversibility was apparent for the oriented elastic sample of sPP aged at room temperature with free ends, leading to a renewed elasticity. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Modeling mechanical aging shift factors in glassy polymers during nonisothermal physical aging. I. Experiments and KAHR‐ate model prediction

This article presents experimental results and model predictions of the mechanical response of polymers during nonisothermal physical aging. The nonisothermal temperature history leads to a complex evolution in the aging behavior of the material. To characterize this response, sequential creep tests of polyether‐ether‐ketone (PEEK) and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) films are performed at various aging times using a dynamic mechanical analyzer. The resulting strain histories are analyzed to determine discrete aging shift factors (a_te) for each of the creep tests. The nonisothermal aging response is then predicted using the KAHR‐a_te model, which combines the KAHR model of volume recovery with a suitable linear relationship between aging shift factors and specific volume. The KAHR‐a_te model can be utilized to both predict aging response or to determine necessary model parameters from a set of aging shift factor data. For the PEEK and PPS materials considered in the current study, predictions of mechanical response are demonstrated to be in good agreement with the experimental results for several thermal histories. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

First‐principles enthalpy landscape analysis of structural recovery in glasses

The enthalpy landscape is used to derive from first principles the departure functions that quantify structural recovery and aging in glassy materials. The departure functions are identical in form to the phenomenological Kovacs–Aklonis–Hutchinson–Ramos model departure functions, but with the important difference is that the relaxation times do not depend on the instantaneous structure (e.g., volume). This first‐principles derivation elucidates a number of experimental observations in glassy materials, including the asymmetry of approach, the effective relaxation‐rate paradox, and the different time dependences for volume and enthalpy recovery. Example results that qualitatively display these phenomena are obtained with a simple enthalpy landscape. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 41: 2302–2306, 2003     

Effect of Aging on Mechanical Properties of Resorcinol-Formaldehyde Gels

Resorcinol-Formaldehyde gels have been prepared in aqueous solutions. After a gelification stage at 80°C, an aging was performed in water or acetic acid solutions at ambient temperature or in the parent liquid at 80°C for different durations. Shear modulus of gels immersed in water is measured using the 3 points bending technique. The evolution of elastic constant with time depends on the pH of aging solution. The strengthening is more pronounced for aging under acidic conditions than in water. Nevertheless when the aging stage is performed at 80°C for a few days, quite identical values of shear modulus are obtained comparatively to acid treatment. The enhancement of mechanical properties of RF gels in acidic conditions is related to polycondensation reaction rates.     

Mechanical strengthening of TMOS-based alcogels by aging in silane solutions

It has been shown that aging of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS)-based alcogels in solutions of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS)/methanol (MeOH) provides new monomers to the alcogel and favorably increases the strength and stiffness of the alcogel and hence reduces the shrinkage during the subsequent drying. Load relaxation experiments have been performed to determine the shear modulus (G), Poisson's ratio (), and the permeability of wet gel rods as a function of aging time in the TEOS/MeOH solution. The modulus of rupture (MOR) and G have also been obtained from 3-point bending tests. Aging the gels in 70 vol% TEOS/MeOH causes an increase in G from 0.48 MPa to 1.8 MPa and 7.4 MPa after aging for 24 hours and 144 hours, respectively.It is shown that the drying stress is actually increased by the aging treatment, but the increase in strength of the gel is even greater; hence, strengthening of the alcogels dramatically reduces the probability of cracking during drying. Unaged gels with higher TMOS concentrations corresponding to the silica content of gels aged in TEOS solution, however, showed large shrinkage and severe cracking.
