木糖醇玻璃焓松弛的量热分析

为了考察木糖醇的玻璃化转变和焓松弛行为,寻求碳链长度对线性多元醇玻璃化转变和焓松弛行为的影响,利用差示扫描量热(DSC)技术测定了不同降温速率下木糖醇在玻璃化转变温度(Tg)前后的比热容(Cp),通过曲线拟合获得了TNM(Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan)模型参数,并和其他多元醇类已有研究结果进行对照.结果表明,尽管TNM模型可以很好地重现不同降温速率体系的实验比热容数据,但模型参数并不是材料常数,而是和热历史有关,不同的降温速率对应不同的模型参数.指前因子(A)、非线性参数(x)和非指数参数(β)均随着降温速率的增加而降低,松弛活化焓(△h*)的变化趋势刚好相反.几种线性多元醇玻璃化转变和TNM模型参数的对照表明,玻璃化转变温度,松弛活化焓和动力学脆度(m)都随着烷基碳链长度的增加而增加.虽然非线性参数、非指数参数随碳链长度的增加有降低的趋势,但木糖醇展现出反常变化的情形.

用DSC研究1,2-丙二醇及其水溶液的协同松弛行为

为了验证基于位形熵的非线性Adam-Gibbs协同松弛模型(AGV)能否用于描述小分子氢键液体的协同松弛行为, 利用差示扫描量热法(DSC)测量了连续升降温条件下1,2-丙二醇及其四种水溶液在115～230 K之间的比热容, 利用曲线拟合技术获得AGV模型参数. 结果表明, AGV模型可以重现体系的实验比热容数据. 1,2-丙二醇表现出与其水溶液明显不同的松弛行为, 但水含量的变化对松弛行为的影响并不明显. 利用AGV方法和Johari方法分别对协同重排活化能(Δμ')和协同重排域(CRR)尺寸(z*)作了分析. 只有选择比聚合物大得多的某一协同重排位形数, 以AGV方法得到的z*才不至于没有物理意义. Johari方法的分析结果表明, T_g温度下1,2-丙二醇的CRR内有约3个分子, 但对应的协同重排位形数(W*)却较聚合物高出很多. Donth的基于热力学温度波动理论的分析表明, 1,2-丙二醇及其水溶液的CRR尺寸随组分的变化趋势可与Δμ'和非指数参数的分析结果相吻合, 但得到的1,2-丙二醇的CRR内有约350个分子, 从而和Johari的分析结果产生巨大差别.     

丙三醇浓溶液玻璃化转变与结构松弛参数DSC分析

In order to examine the effects of water contents and heating/cooling rates on the glass transition and the structure relaxation parameters of glycerol/water mixtures, five aqueous solutions (60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100%) were investigated using the differential scanning calorimetry. Four scanning rates (10, 15, 20, 25 K/min) were used to obtain the glass transition parameters. The fitting results of plasticization constants indicated that Gordon-Taylor relationship could not be used effectively without considering scanning rates and that point on calorimetric step was chosen as the glass transition temperature. The specific heat changes during glass transition processes were relative not only to water content but also to heating rates. With the increasing of water contents in glycerol aqueous solutions, the structure relaxation activation energies and dynamic fragilities were decreased. Since the thermodynamic fragilities were increased with the increasing of water content, so the dynamic fragility and thermodynamic fragility were changed inversely if the water contents were changed in glycerol/water mixtures.     

1H NMR研究溶质浓度对三碳多元醇水溶液氢键作用以及玻璃化的影响

Composition dependence of the Adam-Gibbs cooperative relaxation parameters in glycerol aqueous solutions

Cooperative relaxation of glycerol and its four aqueous solutions (60%, 70%, 80% and 90% by mass) has been investigated in terms of the nonlinear Adam-Gibbs (AG) enthalpy relaxation theory using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The AG parameters were obtained using curve-fitting method. The results indicated that the relaxation time of glycerol/water mixtures is water-sensitive. With the changing of water content, regular trend was found in both the equilibrium and the glassy state. The fitting results were used to estimate the microscopic parameters of the cooperative rearranging region (CRR), in particular the size of the CRR (z*) and the configurational state available to it (W*). The results showed that the W* recommended for polymers led to physically meaningless z* for glycerol and its aqueous solutions. Johari's method, which still based on the AG theory, yielded three to four molecules in the CRR. But the W* is anomalistically higher than those of polymers. With the changing of the water content, the size of CRR estimated using Donth formula seemed to be reasonable according to the analysis of the apparent activation energy (Δh*), the distribution parameter the of relaxation times (β). But it is difficult to reconcile the Adam-Gibbs’ z* with the results obtained using Donth's formula.     

Calorimetric and relaxation properties of xylitol-water mixtures

We present the first broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and differential scanning calorimetry study of supercooled xylitol-water mixtures in the whole concentration range and in wide frequency (10(-2)-10(6) Hz) and temperature (120-365 K) ranges. The calorimetric glass transition, T(g), decreases from 247 K for pure xylitol to about 181 K at a water concentration of approximately 37 wt. %. At water concentrations in the range 29-35 wt. % a plentiful calorimetric behaviour is observed. In addition to the glass transition, almost simultaneous crystallization and melting events occurring around 230-240 K. At higher water concentrations ice is formed during cooling and the glass transition temperature increases to a steady value of about 200 K for all higher water concentrations. This T(g) corresponds to an unfrozen xylitol-water solution containing 20 wt. % water. In addition to the true glass transition we also observed a glass transition-like feature at 220 K for all the ice containing samples. However, this feature is more likely due to ice dissolution [A. Inaba and O. Andersson, Thermochim. Acta, 461, 44 (2007)]. In the case of the BDS measurements the presence of water clearly has an effect on both the cooperative α-relaxation and the secondary β-relaxation. The α-relaxation shows a non-Arrhenius temperature dependence and becomes faster with increasing concentration of water. The fragility of the solutions, determined by the temperature dependence of the α-relaxation close to the dynamic glass transition, decreases with increasing water content up to about 26 wt. % water, where ice starts to form. This decrease in fragility with increasing water content is most likely caused by the increasing density of hydrogen bonds, forming a network-like structure in the deeply supercooled regime. The intensity of the secondary β-relaxation of xylitol decreases noticeably already at a water content of 2 wt. %, and at a water content above 5 wt. % it has been replaced by a considerably stronger water (w) relaxation at about the same frequency. However, the similarities in time scale and activation energy between the w-relaxation and the β-relaxation of xylitol at water contents below 13 wt. % suggest that the w-relaxation is governed, in some way, by the β-relaxation of xylitol, since clusters of water molecules are rare at these water concentrations. At higher water concentrations the intensity and relaxation rate of the w-relaxation increase rapidly with increasing water content (up to the concentration where ice starts to form), most likely due to a rapid increase of small water clusters where an increasing number of water molecules interacting with other water molecules.     

Broadband dielectric spectroscopic, calorimetric, and FTIR-ATR investigations of D-arabinose aqueous solutions

The dielectric relaxation behavior of D-arabinose aqueous solutions at different water concentrations is examined by broadband dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range of 10(-2) -10(7) Hz and in the temperature range of 120-300 K. Differential scanning calorimetry is also performed to find the glass transition temperatures (T(g)). In addition, the same solutions are analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy using the attenuated total reflectance (ATR) method at the same temperature interval and in the frequency range of 3800-2800 cm(-1). The temperature dependence of the relaxation times is examined for the different weight fractions (x(w)) of water along with the temperature dependence of dielectric strength. Two relaxation processes are observed in the aqueous solutions for all concentrations of water. The slower process, the so-called primary relaxation process (process-I), is responsible for the T(g) whereas the faster one (designated as process-II) is due to the reorientational motion of the water molecules. As for other hydrophilic water solutions, dielectric data for process-II indicate the existence of a critical water concentration above which water mobility is less restricted. Accordingly, FTIR-ATR measurements on aqueous solutions show an increment in the intensity (area) of the O-H stretching sub-band close to 3200 cm(-1) as the water concentration increases.     

Thermodynamic properties of aqueous alcohol and polyol solutions

In this work, we present experimental results for partial molar volumes and viscosities of aqueous solutions of n-propanol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol and 1,2,3-propanetriol at 25.00°C and literature data for other systems. The thermodynamic behavior of aqueous alcohol and polyol solutions is discussed in terms of the relationship between polar and non-polar groups and their effect on water structure. The relationship of hydroxyl groups to the number of non-polar groups in the solute determines the balance between hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions and as a direct consequence, the thermodynamic behavior of properties such as partial molar volumes, and viscosity. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
