MODIFICATION OF EPOXY RESINS WITH PHENOLIC HYDROXYL-TERMINATED POLYSILOXANE

Phenolic hydroxyl-terminated polysiloxanes were incorporated into epoxy resins to reducethe internal stress owing to the mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE).Polysiloxane-epoxy resin block copolymers were made by a pre-reaction step prior to thecuring. In the cured resin, the domain size of the polysiloxane phase depended on thestructure of the phenolic hydroxyl-terminated polysiloxane. It was found that the modulus ofthe cured resin depended largely on the level of the modifier, while the CTE was affectedgreatly by the structure of the polysiloxane. By means of incorporating a few percent ofmethylphenylsiloxane unit into the polydimethylsiloxane chain, or by introducing morecompatible end-capping groups, the compounds of more effective low stress modifiers weresynthesized.

ADSORPTION OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS ONTO THE SPHERICAL MACROPOROUS ADSORBENT BASED ON UREA-FORMALDEHYDE CONDENSED POLYMER

INTRODUCTIONAdsorption separation process may be advantageous compared to the conventionally usedmethod based on organic solvent extraction due to its low energy consumption, convenientoperation and high concentrating ability [11. Currently, however, the ability of the commerciallyavailable adsorbentS to selectively adsorb one solute or even families of compounds with similarchemical structUre from a complex system such as the extraction solUtion of Chinese herbalmedicines is limited and…     

THERMODYNAMIC STUDY OF ADSORPTION OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION BY A WATER-COMPATIBLE HYPERCROSSLINKED POLYMERIC ADSORBENT

Equilibrium data for the adsorption of phenolic compounds, i.e., phenol, p-cresol, p-chlorophenol and p-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions by a water-compatible hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbent (NJ-8) within temperature range of 283-323 K were obtained and correlated with a Freundlich-type of isotherm equation, so that equilibrium constants KF and n were obtained. The capacities of equilibrium adsorption for all the four phenolic compounds on the NJ-8 from aqueous solutions are around 2 times as high as those of Amberlite XAD-4, which may be attributed to the unusual micropore structure and the partial polarity on the network. The values of the enthalpy (always negative) are indicative of an exothermic process, which manifests the adsorption of all the four phenolic compounds on the two polymeric adsorbents to be a process of physical adsorption. The negative values of free energy change show that the solute is more concentrated on the adsorbent than in the bulk solution. The absolute free energy values of adsorption for NJ-8 are always higher than those for Amberlite XAD-4, which indicates that phenolic compounds are preferentially adsorbed on NJ-8. The negative values of the adsorption entropy are consistent with the restricted mobilities of adsorbed molecules of phenolic compounds as compared with the molecules in solution. The adsorption entropy values of phenolic compounds for NJ-8 are lower than those for Amberlite XAD-4, which means the micropores of NJ-8 require more orderly arranged adsorbate.     

STUDY ON THE OXIDIZED GRAPHITE MATERIAL COATED WITH N-DOPED PHENOLIC RESIN FOR LITHIUM ION BATTERIES

Carbon-coated oxidized graphite has been prepared by a liquid-state deposition method. Oxidized graphite wasprepared by wet chemical oxidation. Oxidation increases the reversible capacity of graphite, but its initial charge anddischarge efficiency was reduced. Phenolic resin was applied to form the disordered carbon layer on the oxidized graphite.The efficiency and reversible charge capacity were obviously increased. The morphology of carbon materials wasinvestigated by SEM.     

ADSORPTION OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS ONTO THE SPHERICAL MACROPOROUS ADSORBENT BASED ON UREA—FORMALDEHYDE CONDENSED POLYMER

Adsorption of phenol,catechol and resorcinol,which vary in their ability to interact with the adsorbent through hydrogen bond,were used to investigate the adsorption mechanistic interaction.The adsorption enthalpies of the above mentioned compound onto the adsorbent were calculated and thermodynamic analysis was carried out.The results showed the adsorbent with the lowest adsorption enthalpies for the sorbate such as catechol with intermolecular hydrogen bond also display the lowest adsorption affinity.On the other hand,the more of the groups available for hydrogen bond interaction,the higher of the adsorption affinity.These observations support the contention that phenol adsorption is driven predominantly by specific interaction of the solute with active sites on the surface of the adsorbent.     

PREPARATION AND PHOTOSENSITIVITY OF WATER SOLUBLE PHENOLIC RESINS CONTAINING ACRYLOYL AND QUATERNARY AMMONIUM CHLORIDE GROUPS

New water soluble and photocrosslinkable prepolymers colltaining acrylate and quaternary ammonium salt groupswere synthesized from epoxy phenolic resin via ring-opening reaction with acrylic acid and with aqueous solution oftriethylamine hydrochloride successively. The second reaction needs no phase transfer catalyst to accelerate, since theproduct formed can act as a phase transfer catalyst. The prepolymer obtained contains both photocrosslinkable acrylategroups and hydrophilic quaternary ammonium salt groups. Optimum conditions for these reactions were studied. Thephotosensitivity of the prepolymer was also investigated. The effects of different photoinitiators, different crosslinkablediluent monomers and amine accelerator on the photosensitivity of the prepolymer were compared. The photoinitiator ofhydrogen abstraction type is still effective without using amine or alcohol as accelerator, because the prepolymer containsα H beside the OH groups formed in the ring-opening reactions

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF HOMOBINUCLEAR MACROCYCLIC COMPLEXES OF RARE EARTH METAL ISOTHIOCYANATE AND PHENOLIC SCHIFF BASES

Eleven homobinuclear macrocyclic rare earth metal ions complexes are obtained as com-pounds of 2:2 Schiff base formed by condensing 2,6-diformyl-4-tert-Butylphenol and triethy-lenetetramine by a template procedure using rare earth metal isothiocyanates. These complexesare characterized by elemental analyses, FABMS, IR, conductivity and magnetic susceptibility.The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility (4--300K) of complexes of Gd(Ⅲ) and Tb(Ⅲ) has been determined. A satisfactory fit to theoretical curve derived from spin Hamil-tonian operator was obtained by least squares method. The exchange interaction parameters areJ =-0.220 cm~(-1) for Gd, ,ZJ~?=-0.052 cm~(-1) for Tb. The results indicate a very weak anti-ferromagnetic interaction between Gd~(3+)-Gd~(3+), Tb~(3+)-Tb~(3+) ions.     

STUDY ON THE THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF ADSORPTION OF ETHYL BENZOATE AND DIETHYL PHTHALATE BY PHENOLIC RESIN ADSORBENTS

This paper presents experimental observations on the adsorption of individual solutes by a simple thermodynamic framework, and the equilibrium adsorption of ethyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate on phenolic resin adsorbent in hexane solutions within the temperature range of 293-313 K. The experimental results show that the Freundlich adsorption law is applicable to the adsorption of ethyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate on the adsorbent, since all the correlative factors R‘are larger than 0.99. The negative values of all the isosteric adsorption enthalpies for ethyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate indicate that they undergo exothermic processes, while their magnitudes (19-28 kJ/mol) manifest a hydrogen bonding sorption process. Other thermodynamic properties: the free energy changes and the entropy change associated with the adsorption have been calculated from the Gibbs adsorption equation and the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation.     

SPECTRAL STUDY ON A NEW 3d_z~2 TYPE COPPER(Ⅱ)COMPLEX OF PHENOLIC POLYMERIC CROWN ETHER

ESR and IR measurements have been carried out for a copper(Ⅱ)complex ofphenolic polymeric crown ether,As a result,the triplet ESR spectrum(S=1)of 3d_z2ground state copper(Ⅱ)ions was first observed for the powder sample.It indicatedthat there existed intramolecular spin-spin interaction betweeen 3d_Z2 groundstate copper(Ⅱ)and copper(Ⅱ)ions.In this binuclear triplet cluster,the axialligntion of one water molecule in a sandwich position to two adjacent copper(Ⅱ)ions was also confirmed by IR spectra,All things considered,a possible structurefor the complex was proposed.     

NOVEL HYPERBRANCHED POLY（PHENYLENE OXIDE）S WITH PHENOLIC TERMINAL GROUPS： EFFECTS OF REACTION TIME AND CORE MOLECULES ON THE MOLECULAR WEIGHT AND POLYDISPERSITY

A novel hyperbranched poly（phenylene oxide） （HPPO） with phenolic terminal groups was prepared from 4-bromo-4＇,4＂-dihydroxytriphenylmethane as AB2 monomer in dimethylsulfoxide （DMSO） via a modified Ullmann reaction. The molecular weight and polydispersity （PD） of the resulting polymers increased with increasing reaction time. In the presence of core molecules （bisphenol A and 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene）, which have the similar molecular backbones to the reactive monomer, the molecular weight could be controlled by varying the core-to-monomer ratio. Incorporation of a very small amount of core molecules could lead to a higher molecular weight as compared with that without the addition of core molecules. However, when the core content reached certain extent, the molecular weight would decrease with the further increase in the core content. A new similar behavior of control over the PD was also obtained. The resulting polymers were characterized by ^1H-NMR, ^13C-NMR, FT-IR, and GPC.     

Au core-PtAu alloy shell nanowires for formic acid electrolysis

Inefficient electrocatalysts and high-power consumption are two thorny problems for electrochemical hydrogen(H2)production from acidic water electrolysis.Herein we report the one-pot precise synthesis of ultrafine Au core-Pt Au alloy shell nanowires(Au@PtxAu UFNWs).Among them,Au@Pt_0.077 Au UFNWs exhibit the best performance for formic acid oxidation reaction(FAOR)and hydrogen evolution reaction(HER),which only require applied potentials of 0.29 V and-22.6 m V to achieve a current density of 10 m A cm^-2,respectively.The corresponding formic acid electrolyzer realizes the electrochemical H2 production at a voltage of only 0.51 V with 10 m A cm^-2 current density.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations reveal that the Au-riched Pt Au alloy structure can facilitates the direct oxidation pathway of FAOR and consequently elevates the FAOR activity of Au@Pt_0.077 Au UFNWs.This work provides meaningful insights into the electrochemical H₂ production from both the construction of advanced bifunctional electrocatalysts and the replacement of OER.     

Layered Ag-graphene films synthesized by Gamma ray irradiation for stable lithium metal anodes in carbonate-based electrolytes

Lithium metal batteries are considered as high energy density battery systems with very promising prospects and have bee n widely studied.However,The uncon trollable plating/strippi ng behavior,infinite volume change and den drites formation of lithium metal anode restrict the applicati on.The unc on trolled n ucleati on of lithium caused by the non uniform multi-physical field distributions,can lead to the undesirable lithium deposition.Herein,a graphene composite uniformly loaded with Ag nano-particles(Ag NPs)is prepared through a facile Gamma ray irradiation method and assembled into self-supported film with layered structure(Ag-rGO film).Whe n such film is used as a lithium metal an ode host,the uncontrolled deposition is converted into a highly nucleation-induced process.On one hand,the Ag NPs distributed between the in terlayers of graphe ne can preferentially induce lithium nu cleati on and en able uniform deposition morphology of lithium between interlayers.On the other hand,the stable layered graphene structure can accommodate volume change,stabilize the interface between anode and electrolyte and inhibit dendrites formation.Therefore,the layered Ag-rGO film as anode host can reach a high Coulombic efficiency over 93.3% for 200 cycle(786 h)at a current density of 1 mA cm^-2 for 2 mAh cm^-2 in carbonate-based electrolyte.This work proposes a facile Gamma ray irradiation method to prepare metal/3D-skeleton structure as lithium anode host and demonstrates the potential to regulate the lithium metal deposition behaviors via manipulating the distribution of lithiophilic metal(e.g.Ag)in 3D frameworks.This may offer a practicable thinking for the subsequent design of the lithium metal anode.     

中国纤维素乙醇技术的研究进展

中国面临着严重的能源短缺和环境污染问题,中国政府正在局部几个省份内政策性鼓励燃料乙醇生产和使用.尽管当前主要是用玉米和谷物作为生产乙醇的原料,然而中国具有大量潜在的低成本的纤维素生物质原料,可以极大地扩大乙醇的产量,降低原料成本.近20年来,由于技术的革命性进步,已使得纤维素乙醇的生产成本从4美元/加仑以上,降低至约1.2-1.5美元/加仑.其中,每吨生物质约44美元.因此,目前乙醇掺汽油具有十分强的市场竞争力.已有几个公司正在建造首批商业纤维素乙醇工厂,虽然这些刚起步的小型设施在合理利用和管理上风险较小,但规模经济需要较大型工厂.尽管配送生物质原料的成本会随需求的增加而增加,但在乙醇生产基础上的生物精炼技术的发展,尤其是化工产品和动力的协同生产,将会使全过程的经济可行性大大提高.进一步深入的基础研究,将解决低成本下实现纤维素的完全利用,以确保在无政策性补贴的前提下,真正使纤维素乙醇成为具有市场竞争力的低成本纯液体燃料.     

Binary ligand strategy toward interweaved encapsulation-nanotubes structured electrocatalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cell

Hierarchically porous architecture of ir on-nitroge n-carb on(Fe-N-C)for oxyge n reducti on reaction(ORR)is highly desired towards efficient mass transfer in the fuel cell device manner.Herein,we reported a binary ligand strategy to prepare zeolitic imidazolate frameworks(ZIFs)-derived precursors,wherein the addition of secondary ligand endows precursors with the capabilities to transform into porously interweaved encapsulation-nanotubes structured composites after calcination.The optimal catalyst,i.e.,termed as Fe₆-M/C-3,exhibits excellent durability with 88.8%current retention after 50,000 seconds in 0.1 M HClO₄solution by virtue of nanoparticles-encapsulation features,which is more positive than the benchmark commercial 20 wt%Pt/C catalyst.Moreover,a promising maximum power density of Fe₆-M/C-3 as cathode catalyst was also dem on strated in proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs)measurements.Therefore,this binary ligand approach to the fabrication of hierarchically porous structures would also have significant implications for various other electrochemical reactions.     

Molten salt as ultrastrong polar solvent enables the most straightforward pyrolysis towards highly efficient and stable single-atom electrocatalyst

Currently,pyrolysis as the most widely used method still has some key issues not well resolved for synthesis of carbon-supported single-atom catalysts(C-SACs),e.g.,the sintering of metal atoms at high temperature as well as the high cost and complicated preparations of precursors.In this report,molten salts are demonstrated to be marvellous medium for preparation of C-SACs by pyrolysis of small molecular precursors(ionic liquid).The ultrastrong polarity on one hand establishes robust interaction with precursor and enables better carbonization,resulting in largely enhanced yield.On the other hand,the aggregation of metal atoms is effectively refrained while no nanoparticle or cluster is formed.By this strategy,a C-SAC with atomically dispersed Fe-N₄ sites and a high specific area over 2000 m² g^-1 is obtained,which illustrates high ORR activity in both acid and alkaline media.Moreover,this SAC exhibits superior methanol tolerance and stability after acid soaking at 85℃ for 48 h.It is believed that the molten-salts-assisted pyrolysis can be developed into a routine strategy as it not only can largely simply the synthesis of C-SACs,but also can be extended to prepare other types of SACs.     

镧对Mg-Si合金中Mg2Si相变质的影响

研究了Mg-5Si合金中La的添加对初生Mg2Si相变质的影响。结果表明,适量的La能够有效地变质初生Mg2Si相。基于本文的研究,在添加约0.5%La时,获得了最佳的变质效果,此时,初生Mg2Si相的尺寸减小到25μm以下,其形态从粗大的树枝形状变为多面体形状。然而,当La增加到0.8%或者更高时,初生Mg2Si相又生长为粗大的树枝形态。而且,在凝固过程中发现形成了一些LaSi2化合物,这些化合物的数量随着La的增加而呈现逐渐增加的趋势。
