聚乙烯光引发交联过程中的表面光氧化和光稳定

通过测定凝胶含量并利用红外-光声光谱和光电子能谱对光交联聚乙烯表面氧化程度和氧化产物进行了研究.结果表明,聚乙烯光交联过程中随着光照时间的增加,表面光氧化加剧,氧化产物主要是氢过氧化物和含羰基的化合物.考察了预辐照和添加受阻胺型光稳定剂对聚乙烯光交联过程的影响,发现这两种方法都能有效地降低光交联聚乙烯(XLPE)的表面氧化,但有些光稳定剂会降低XLPE的交联度.

紫外光交联聚乙烯的结晶行为

采用熔融共混法制备了高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)/光引发剂(BDK)/交联剂 (TAIC) 共混物,在高压汞灯辐照下制备了一系列不同交联程度的样品. 通过广角X射线衍射(XRD)与差示扫描量热法(DSC)等测试技术研究了紫外光交联对HDPE的晶体结构及非等温结晶动力学行为的影响. 结果表明,紫外光交联不改变HDPE晶型. 随着光交联时间的增加,结晶峰的强度下降,晶粒尺寸变小. 随着降温速率的增加,HDPE与交联HDPE(XLPE)的结晶峰变宽,结晶温度(Tp)向低温方向移动,结晶速率变快,结晶度(Xc)下降. 相比较而言,XLPE的Tp较低,F(T)较大,Xc较小,结晶活化能(ΔE)较高,表明紫外光交联抑制了HDPE的结晶.     

模拟太阳光-过氧化氢作用下冰相中苯酚的光转化

以模拟太阳光为照射光源,对冰相中苯酚在过氧化氢(H2O2)存在条件下的光转化反应进行了研究,考察了影响苯酚光转化反应的主要因素并探讨了光转化动力学过程.研究结果表明,光强度越高或H2O2初始浓度越大,苯酚在冰相介质中的光转化率越快,而苯酚初始浓度越高则会导致苯酚的光转化率减慢.p H值对苯酚的光转化率的影响则表现为酸性导致减小,碱性导致加快.应用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)分析了苯酚的光解产物,推断苯酚在冰相中的光解过程中主要发生了羟基化反应.

低密度聚乙烯-丙烯酸气相光接枝体系反应机理的研究

研究了以二苯甲酮(BP)为光敏剂,丙烯酸在低密度聚乙烯(LDPE)膜上两步法气相光接枝聚合;从反应的基本要素出发,利用紫外光分光光度计跟踪测定了二苯甲酮在LDPE膜中的扩散情况,发现其扩散系数随BP浓度的升高而降低,约在0.8～2.0×10-12m2.s-1之间.同样方法跟踪测定了BP在不同条件下的光还原反应,结果表明:当远紫外光被滤掉后,其半衰期大大加长,氧气的存在更是加剧了这一效应;并且通过测定不同条件下气相光接枝聚合的一些基本规律,提出单体扩散为该气相光接枝聚合的控制步骤.

REACTION MECHANISM OF BENZOPHENONE-PHOTOINITIATED CROSSLINKING OF POLYETHYLENE

The radical intermediates, the crosslink microstructures, and the reaction mechanism of benzophenone (BP)-photoinitiated crosslinking of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and model compounds (MD) have been reviewed in detail.The spin-trapping electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra obtained from the LDPE/BP systems with spin-trap agents showthat two kinds of polymer radical intermediates are mainly formed: tertiary carbon and secondary carbon radicals. The spin-trapping ESR studies of MD/BP systems give further evidence that photocrosslinking reactions of PE predominantly takeplace at sites of tertiary carbon, secondary carbon, and especially allylic carbon when available. The high resolution ~(13)C-NMR spectra obtained from LDPE and MD systems show that the crosslink microstructures have H- and Y-type links andthat their concentrations are of the same order. The fluorescence, ESR ~(13)C and ~1H-NMR spectra from the PE and MDsystems demonstrate that the main photoreduction product of BP(PPB) is benzpinacol formed by the recombination of twodiphenylhydroxymethyl (K·) radical intermediates. Two new PPB products: an isomer of benzpinacol with quinoid structure,1-phenylhydroxymethylene-4-diphenylhydroxymethyl-2, 5-cyclohexadiene and three kinds of α-alkyl-benzhydrols have beendetected and identified. These results provide new experimental evidence for elucidating the reaction mechanism in the BP-photoinitiated crosslinking of polyethylene.     

A new mechanism of benzophenone photoreduction in photoinitiated crosslinking of polyethylene and its model compounds

The photolytic products and a new photoreduction mechanism of benzophenone (BP) as a photoinitiator in the photocrosslinking of polyethylene (PE) and its model compounds (MD) have been studied by means of fluorescence, ESR, ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The fluorescence spectra from the PE and MD systems demonstrate that the main photoreduction product of BP (PPB) is benzpinacol formed by the recombination of two diphenylhydroxymethyl (K^•) radical intermediates. The ESR spectrum obtained from the UV irradiation of the MD/BP system gives positive evidence of K^• radicals. Two new PPB products: an isomer of benzpinacol with quinoid structure, 1‐phenyl‐hydroxymethylene‐4‐diphenyl‐hydroxymethyl‐2,5‐cyclohexa‐diene and three kinds of α‐alkylbenzhydrols have been detected and identified for the first time by ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectroscopy from the MD systems. The latter could be formed by the reactions of K^• radicals with alkyl radicals produced by hydrogen abstraction of the excited triplet state ³(BP)* from polyethylene or its model compounds. These results provide new experimental evidence for elucidating the photoreduction mechanism of BP in the photoinitiated crosslinking of polyethylene. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Near-ultraviolet photolysis of beta-phenylpyruvic acid generates free radicals and results in DNA damage

Ultraviolet A (UVA) light (315-400 nm) is ubiquitously found in our environment and constitutes about 95% of the total solar UV; all UVC and most UVB being absorbed by the stratospheric ozone layer. Compared with UVB and C, UVA does not show any direct effect on biological systems. Indirect effects of UVA, however, have been recognised overwhelmingly and this includes photosensitization of biological and non-biological compounds and production of free radicals many of which include oxygen and are hence known as reactive oxygen species or ROS. Several types of free radicals have been identified although their impacts on various macro- and micro-biomolecules are yet to be fully elucidated. beta-Phenylpyruvic acid is ubiquitously found in eukaryotic cells as a metabolite of phenylalanine, which is subsequently converted to phenyllactate and/or to 2-hydroxyphenylacetate and mandelate. In patients suffering from phenylketonuria the hydroxylation of phenylalanine to tyrosine is defective due to lack of phenylalanine hydroxylase. These result in accumulation and excretion of this compound in the urine. Here we present evidence that photolysis of beta-phenylpyruvic acid by a skin tanning lamp, emitting 99% UVA (315-400 nm) and 1% UVB (290-315 nm) generates carboxyl radicals (CO(2)(*)) and also possibly causes direct electron transfer (or type 1) reactions. Electron paramagnetic resonance was used to detect the free radicals. To determine the biological effects of this photolytic reaction, T7 was exposed to these photolytic reactive agents and found to lead to high levels of phage inactivation. Damage to DNA and/or components such as tail fibre proteins may be involved in T7 inactivation. In addition, our unpublished data suggest that certain phenylketonuria cell lines are more sensitive to PPA+NUV, lending importance to photolytic studies of this agent.     

Cyclic perfluorocarbon radicals and anions having high global warming potentials (GWPs): structures, electron affinities, and vibrational frequencies

Adiabatic electron affinities, optimized molecular geometries, and IR-active vibrational frequencies have been predicted for small cyclic hydrocarbon radicals C(n)H(2)(n)(-)(1) (n = 3-6) and their perfluoro counterparts C(n)F(2)(n)(-)(1) (n = 3-6). Total energies and optimized geometries of the radicals and corresponding anions have been obtained using carefully calibrated (Chem. Rev. 2002, 102, 231) density functional methods, namely, the B3LYP, BLYP, and BP86 functionals in conjunction with the DZP++ basis set. The predicted electron affinities show that only the cyclopropyl radical tends to bind electrons among the hydrocarbon radicals studied. The trend for the perfluorocarbon (PFC) radicals is quite different. The electron affinities increase with expanding ring size until n = 5 and then slightly decrease at n = 6. Predicted electron affinities of the hydrocarbon radicals using the B3LYP hybrid functional are 0.24 eV (C(3)H(5)/C(3)H(5)(-)), -0.19 eV (C(4)H(7)/C(4)H(7)(-)), -0.15 eV (C(5)H(9)/C(5)H(9)(-)), and -0.11 eV (C(6)H(11)/C(6)H(11)(-)). Analogous electron affinities of the perflurocarbon radicals are 2.81 eV (C(3)F(5)/C(3)F(5)(-)), 3.18 eV (C(4)F(7)/C(4)F(7)(-)), 3.34 eV (C(5)F(9)/C(5)F(9)(-)), and 3.21 eV (C(6)F(11)/C(6)F(11)(-)).     

Accelerated water tree aging of crosslinked polyethylene with different degrees of crosslinking

The effect of crosslinking degree on accelerated water tree aging in crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) was investigated. The peroxide-crosslinking process was adopted to make XLPE specimens with different degrees of crosslinking by controlling the doping content of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) in low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The water blade electrode method was applied to accelerate water-tree aging of LDPE and XLPE specimens (hereafter referred to as the specimens), and their morphologies were observed using an optical microscope. The variation of crystalline morphology and anti-cracking performance of the amorphous region in the specimens were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and an electronic universal testing machine. Based on the experimental results, it was found that XLPE has great anti-water-treeing performance compared to LDPE. In addition, the higher the crosslinking degree, the better the anti-water-treeing performance. Although crystal growth is inhibited due to the crosslinking reaction, the density of tie molecular chains greatly increases in the amorphous region and exhibits significantly tighter lamellar stacking, which is the reason that water tree growth is restrained with increasing crosslinking degree.     

The dependence of α-tocopheroxyl radical reduction by hydroxy-2,3-diarylxanthones on structure and micro-environment

The flavonoid quercetin is known to reduce the α-tocopheroxyl radical (˙TocO) and reconstitute α-tocopherol (TocOH). Structurally related polyphenolic compounds, hydroxy-2,3-diarylxanthones (XH), exhibit antioxidant activity which exceeds that of quercetin in biological systems. In the present study repair of ˙TocO by a series of these XH has been evaluated using pulse radiolysis. It has been shown that, among the studied XH, only 2,3-bis(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-9H-xanthen-9-one (XH9) reduces ˙TocO, though repair depends strongly on the micro-environment. In cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelles, 30% of ˙TocO radicals are repaired at a rate constant of ~7.4 × 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) by XH9 compared to 1.7 × 10(7) M(-1) s(-1) by ascorbate. Water-soluble Trolox (TrOH) radicals (˙TrO) are restored by XH9 in CTAB (rate constant ~3 × 10(4) M(-1) s(-1)) but not in neutral TX100 micelles where only 15% of ˙TocO are repaired (rate constant ~4.5 × 10(5) M(-1) s(-1)). In basic aqueous solutions ˙TrO is readily reduced by deprotonated XH9 species leading to ionized XH9 radical species (radical pK(a) ~10). An equilibrium is observed (K = 130) yielding an estimate of 130 mV for the reduction potential of the [˙X9,H(+)/XH9] couple at pH 11, lower than the 250 mV for the [˙TrO,H(+)/TrOH] couple. A comparable value (100 mV) has been determined by cyclic voltammetry measurements.     

Ultraviolet photodissociation dynamics of the phenyl radical

Ultraviolet (UV) photodissociation dynamics of jet-cooled phenyl radicals (C(6)H(5) and C(6)D(5)) are studied in the photolysis wavelength region of 215-268 nm using high-n Rydberg atom time-of-flight and resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization techniques. The phenyl radicals are produced from 193-nm photolysis of chlorobenzene and bromobenzene precursors. The H-atom photofragment yield spectra have a broad peak centered around 235 nm and are in good agreement with the UV absorption spectra of phenyl. The H + C(6)H(4) product translational energy distributions, P(E(T))'s, peak near ~7 kcal/mol, and the fraction of average translational energy in the total excess energy, , is in the range of 0.20-0.35 from 215 to 268 nm. The H-atom product angular distribution is isotropic. The dissociation rates are in the range of 10(7)-10(8) s(-1) with internal energy from 30 to 46 kcal/mol above the threshold of the lowest energy channel H + o-C(6)H(4) (ortho-benzyne), comparable with the rates from the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theory. The results from the fully deuterated phenyl radical are identical. The dissociation mechanism is consistent with production of H + o-C(6)H(4), as the main channel from unimolecular decomposition of the ground electronic state phenyl radical following internal conversion of the electronically excited state.
