Synthesis and Characterization of Titanium-doped Ordered Mesoporous Alumina

Titanium-doped ordered mesoporous alumina with specific structural properties has been prepared by the evaporation induced self-assembly sol-gel method. The results show that the doped titanium helps to stabilize the ordered mesoporous alumina material without influencing the ordered mesoporosity. The textural properties of the obtained sample are related to the amount of doped titanium. When the molar ratio of aluminum to titanium(n(Al)/n(Ti)) is controlled as 10.2, the titanium-doped ordered mesoporous alumina exhibits high surface area(up to 218 m2 g-1), large pore volume(0.42 cm3 g-1) and narrow pore diameter(6.1 nm) after treating at 900 ℃, showing high thermal stability. Moreover, the obtained sample calcined at 900 ℃ still maintains ordered mesoporous structure and exhibits high thermal stability.

Experimental and numerical investigation of aramid fibre reinforced laminates subjected to low velocity impact

The low velocity impact performance of domestic aramid fibre reinforced laminates is investigated experimentally and numerically. Laminates with different thicknesses are impacted by drop-weight test machine under different impact energies. The time histories of impact force are recorded and ultrasonic C-scan technology is used to inspect the internal damage of the laminates. Numerical simulation is conducted using finite element method (FEM), taking into account both intralaminar and interlaminar damage. The intralaminar damage model is based on the continuum damage mechanics (CDM) approach, which consists of the strain-based Hashin failure criteria and the exponential damage evolution law, and considers the nonlinear shear behaviour of the material. The interlaminar damage is simulated by interface elements with cohesive zone model. The numerical results show good agreements with the experiments, thus verifying the validity of the presented numerical model.     

Film-forming characteristics and thermal stability of low viscosity benzoxazines derived from melamine

A novel class of low-viscosity benzoxazines has been synthesized from melamine and formaldehyde with phenol or bisphenol A. The striking feature of the class of benzoxazines is the subtle combination of their inherently low viscosity at room temperature, good film-forming characteristics and high chemical and thermal stability mainly due to the introduction of melamine into the network of the polymers. The structure of the benzoxazines has been confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Thermal properties of polybenzoxazine have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. Transparent polybenzoxazine films were easily obtained under solvent-free conditions, exhibiting significantly improved toughness compared to the conventional polybenzoxazines. Our research may open a new path for overcoming the present drawbacks of polybenzoxazines such as high brittleness, the difficulties in preparing films and poor processibility via tailoring the structures and properties of amine in the benzoxazines.

Isolation and Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds from Water by Dynamic Purge-and-Trap Technique Coupled with Capillary Gas Chromatography

The preconcentration technique of purge-and-trap has been investigated in the present work for quantitative adsorption of volatile organic pollutants purged from water samples. A dynamic purging device with variable volume size has been constructed and tested to purge different concentrations of organic compounds. With Tenax GR as the adsorbent, a dynamic purge-and-trap technique was developed combining on-column preconcentration procedures using ambient trapping/thermal desorption/cryogenic focusing/back-flash injection prior to separation and determination using capillary gas chromatography. Various aromatic compounds in water were determined, giving linear working ranges over five orders of magnitude from 0.02 to 5000 µg/L. The analytical procedures were optimized under the assistance of ultrasonication with results validated for the determination of organic contaminants in underground water and tap water, giving over 93% recoveries and a detection limit of 0.01 µg/L, two orders of magnitude lower than those obtained using commercial available instruments with on-line configuration to minimize cross-contamination. The technique provides a potential automated method for in situ monitoring of volatile organic compounds in water.     

β‐Diketiminatoytterbium aryloxides: synthesis,structural characterization,and catalytic activity for addition of amines to carbodiimides

The steric effect of an aryloxido group on the synthesis and molecular structures of ytterbium aryloxides supported by β‐diketiminato ligand L (L = [N(2,6‐Me₂C₆H₃)C(Me)]₂CH^?) is reported. Reactions of β‐diketiminatoytterbium dichloride, LYbCl₂(THF)₂, with NaOAr¹ in THF (Ar¹ = [2,6‐^tBu₂‐4‐MeC₆H₂], THF = tetrahydrofuran) at 60°C gave the corresponding ytterbium complexes LYb(OAr¹)Cl(THF) ( 1 ) and LYb(OAr¹)₂ (1), depending on the molar ratio of dichloride to sodium aryloxide, respectively, while the same reactions with NaOAr² and NaOAr³ (Ar² = [2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃], Ar³ = [2,6‐Me₂C₆H₃]) in 1:1 or 1:2 molar ratio in THF afforded only bisaryloxide complexes LYb(OAr²)₂(THF) (1) and LYb(OAr³)₂(THF) ( 4 ) in good yields, respectively. Complexes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 were fully characterized, including X‐ray crystal structure analyses. All the complexes are efficient pre‐catalysts for the catalytic addition of amines to carbodiimides giving guanidines. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
