在T型混合反应器内通过喷射共沉淀方法合成了吡啶硫酮铜(CPT)。利用扫描电镜和小角度光散射实验手段研究了分散液中吡啶硫酮铜的形貌和大小。通过喷射共沉淀方法获得的初级吡啶硫酮铜颗粒为棒状,在分散液中这些棒状颗粒易发生团聚,形成分形维数为2.1的团聚体。用平均回转半径()表征分散液中团聚体的平均大小,考察了反应温度和反应物化学计量比(吡啶硫酮钠/硫酸铜)对团聚体大小的影响,随着反应温度的降低,团聚体的回转半径逐渐减小;过量的吡啶硫酮钠也有利于降低团聚体的大小,当吡啶硫酮钠过量量达到~25%时,进一步增大吡啶硫酮钠的过量量,团聚体的回转半径不再发生明显变化。

Fractal character of the SAXS correlation volume in poly(ethylene glycol)/silica hybrid wet gels

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was employed to study the nanostructural properties of poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)/silica hybrid wet gels prepared from hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in mixtures with PEG/(PEG + TEOS) molar ratio in the nominal range between 0 and 0.8. The SAXS pattern was found to be well fitted by the scattering from a polymeric particle of radius of gyration R _g with an internal structure of primary silica particles described by a polymeric constraint of a mass-fractal of dimension D. R _g increases with the PEG quantity while D first increases from 2.24 for the pure TEOS-derived gel to reach values between 2.46 and 2.40 with the additions of PEG. The correlation volume V _c as determined by SAXS for such a polymeric structure behaves as a volume-fractal and accordingly scales with R _g as V _c ~ R _g ^D . An overall mean value of about 1 nm could be estimated as an upper limit for the radius of the primary silica particle building up the structure of all the wet gels, independent of the PEG addition.     

Synthesis and electrochemical performance of LiCr x Mn2-xO4(x=0,0.02,0.05,0.08,0.10) powders by ultrasonic coprecipitation

LiCr _x Mn_2-x O₄(x=0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.08, 0.10) compounds with a spinel crystal structure have been prepared by a novel ultrasonic co-precipitation method. The effects of the calcination temperature and the citric acid-to-metal ion molar ratio (R) on powder characteristics and electrochemical performance are evaluated. It is found that the optimum R and sintering temperature for LiCr _x Mn_2-x O₄ materials by the ultrasonic co-precipitation method are R= 5/6 and 800°C, respectively. The calcined powders are loosely bound agglomerates of abnormally coarsened particles with a narrow range of particle sizes. The effect of Cr doping was also explored. Electrochemical studies show that optimum materials synthesized by the ultrasonic co-precipitation method demonstrate good cycling performance.     

Modelling the Influence of Nanoparticles in the Phase Behaviour of an Epoxy/Polystyrene Mixture, 2

The influences of nanoparticle size and concentration on the thermodynamic behaviour of epoxy/polystyrene blends are evaluated in the framework of Ginzburg's simple analytical theory. Two approaches have been employed: NPEPO (for particles coated with epoxy groups) and NPFEN (for particles coated with phenyl groups). Using NPEPO, the particles are found to prefer the phase richer in epoxy, whereas the opposite occurs for NPFEN. The particles size significantly influences blend compatibility. When the particle radius R_p is about the same size as the radius of gyration R_g of PS, the compatibility of blends increases with particle concentration, whereas for R_p > R_g, higher particle concentrations do not clearly stabilize the polymeric blends.

     

Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC)-stabilized dispersion polymerization of styrene in polar solvents: Effect of reaction parameters

Dispersion polymerization of styrene in polar solvents in the presence of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) produces latex particles from ca. 1 to 26 μm depending on reaction parameters. Increasing the initiator concentration or temperature decreases the molecular weight, but increases the particle size and breadth of the size distribution. The decrease in molecular weight with increasing R_i, caused by larger initiator concentration or higher temperature, is expected based of fundamental kinetic relationships. The inverse correlation between size and rate of initiation is rationalized by polarity (stabilizing ability) of the grafted HPC-polystyrene formed in situ. High polar HPC-g-PS, which contains shorter graft polystyrene chain, stabilizes particles less effectively and this leads to larger particles. The primary influence of initial styrene concentration is a solvent effect: larger particles are obtained at high styrene concentration due to high solubility of polystyrene during the initial part of the reaction. The influence of the molecular weight of HPC is to change the polarity of the HPC-g-PS stabilizer. Comparison of particle growth of three critical polymerization systems suggests that the favorable continuous-phase solubility parameter for dispersion polymerization of styrene is around 11.6 (cal/mL)^1/2. Too high or too low polarity generates particles with broad size distribution because large particles are formed during the initial stage and nucleation continues as the polymerization proceeds. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis of Highly Dispersed Zirconium Diboride for Fabrication of Special-Purpose Ceramic

Reduction of zirconium dioxide with boron carbide and nanofibrous carbon in argon yielded a highly dispersed powder of zirconium diboride. Characteristics of zirconium diboride powders were examined by various analytical methods. The material obtained is represented by a single phase, zirconium diboride. Powder particles are for the most part aggregated. The average size of particles and aggregates is 10.9–12.9 μm with a wide size distribution. The specific surface area of the samples is 1.8–3.6 m² g^–1. The oxidation of zirconium diboride begins at a temperature of 640°C The optimal synthesis parameters were determined: ZrO₂: B₄C: C molar ratio of 2: 1: 3 (in accordance with stoichiometry), process temperature 1600–1700°C, synthesis duration 20 min.     

Dilute solutions of compositionally heterogeneous κ-carrageenan studied by combined dynamic and static light scattering

Dilute water–salt solutions of compositionally heterogeneous κ-carrageenan (κ-CG) containing 3% of ι-CG units are studied by combined static and dynamic (DLS) light scattering in 0.1M NaCl at 25°C. The structure-sensitive ratio R_g/R_h?=?2.2 of the fast DLS mode corresponds to the coils of κ-CG homopolymer. The irreversible core–shell aggregates (R_g/R_h?=?0.4) give rise to a slow mode. The optical rotation reveals that the aggregates originate from helical fragments of contaminating multi-block κ/ι-copolymers. Comparison with capillary viscometry shows that the weight fraction of aggregates is as small as the fraction of contaminating κ/ι-hybrids.     

Glass Transition of Low‐Dimensional Polystyrene

Summary: A unified model is developed for the finite size‐effect on the glass‐transition temperature of polymers, T_g(D), where D denotes the diameter of particles or thickness of films. In terms of this model, T_g depends on both the size and interface conditions. The predicted results are consistent with the experimental evidence for polystyrene (PS) particles and films with different interface situations.

Non-enzymatic browning-induced water plasticization

An exotherm, observed in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) scans of amorphous food materials above their glass transition temperature,T _g, may occur due to sugar crystallization, nonenzymatic browning, or both. In the present study, this exothermal phenomenon in initially anhydrous skim milk and lactose-hydrolyzed skim milk was considered to occur due to browning during isothermal holding at various temperatures above the initialT _g. The nonenzymatic, Maillard browning reaction produces water that in amorphous foods, may plasticize the material and reduceT _g. The assumption was that quantification of formation of water from theT _g depression, which should not be observed as a result of crystallization under anhydrous conditions, can be used to determine kinetics of the nonenzymatic browning reaction. The formation of water was found to be substantial, and the amount formed could be quantified from theT _g measured after isothermal treatment at various temperatures using DSC. The rate of water formation followed zero-order kinetics, and its temperature dependence well aboveT _g was Arrhenius-type. Although water plasticization of the material occurred during the reaction, and there was a dynamic change in the temperature differenceT–T _g, the browning reaction was probably diffusioncontrolled in anhydrous skim milk in the vicinity of theT _g of lactose. This could be observed from a significant increase in activation energy. The kinetics and temperature dependence of the Maillard reaction in skim milk and lactose-hydrolyzed skim milk were of similar type well above the initialT _g. The difference in temperature dependence in theT _g region of lactose, but above that of lactose-hydrolyzed skim milk, became significant, as the rate in skim milk, but not in lactose-hydrolyzed skim milk, became diffusion-controlled. The results showed that rates of diffusion-controlled reactions may follow the Williams-Landel-Ferry (WLF) equation, as kinetic restrictions become apparent within amorphous materials in reactions exhibiting high rates at the same temperature under non-diffusion-controlled conditions.
