Theoretical study on the structure and property relationship of the cationic conjugated polyelectrolytes

A theoretical study using density functional theory was performed to understand the structure/property relationship of the cationic conjugated polyelectrolytes, poly[9,9-bis-(6′-N,N,N-trimethylammonium) hexyl] fluorene-alt-4,7-(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole)] (PFBT-X, where X = Br). The torsion angle between the fluorene and benzothiadiazole units in the PFBT monomer was found to substantially affect the structural and electronic properties of the cationic PFBT monomer. The changes of geometrical parameter, HOMO and LUMO energy levels, and band gap, as well as the absorption maximum are discussed in terms of the torsion in the PFBT monomer structure. For comparison, its neutral analogue, the monomer of poly(9,9-di-n-octylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole) (F8BT) was also studied. The length of conjugation backbone was also examined.     

Electrodeposition of nanocrystalline zinc from acidic sulfate solutions containing thiourea and benzalacetone as additives

Nanocrystalline zinc coatings were produced by pulse electrodeposition in acid sulfate bath containing thiourea and benzalacetone additives and characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The influence of benzalacetone concentration and pulse peak current density on the grain size and crystallographic orientation of zinc deposits was investigated. Zinc electrodeposited from additive-free solutions or with one of the two additives is not composed of nanosized crystals. The mixture additives of thiourea and benzalacetone give rise to the formation of particle-like nanocrystalline zinc with a (10ī1) random orientation. A change in peak current density from 2 to 1 A/cm² only increases the grain size from 60 to 62 nm.     

Energy transfer rates and impact sensitivities of two classes nitramine explosives molecules

Some explosives are stable molecules with large energy barriers to chemical reaction, and in shock or impact initiation, a sizable amount of phonon energy must be converted to the molecular internal higher vibrations by multiphonon up pumping. To investigate the relationship between impact sensitivities and energy transfer rates, the number of doorway modes of explosive molecules is estimated by a simple theory in which the rate is proportional to the number of normal mode vibrations. We evaluated frequencies of normal mode vibrations of 13 explosive molecules which are CHNO nitramine-contained and have not been analyzed previously. The number of doorway modes in the regions of 200–700 cm⁻¹ was evaluated by the direct counting method. For more clear investigation of the relationship we have classified these 13 nitramine explosive molecules, by the number of nitramine group they contained, into two groups. There are eight molecules that contained one nitramine group and five molecules that contained poly-nitramine groups. It is found that the number of doorway modes shows a linearly correlation to the impact sensitivities derived from drop hammer tests. This result is in agreement with that of several previous works. Besides, it is also noted in our study that in those nitramine explosives molecules with similar molecular structure (similar number nitramine group they contained) and similar molecular weight, the correlation between the sensitivity and the number of doorway modes is higher. We found that the vibrational frequency of ω corresponds to nitro group motions of every molecule is contributed to the number of doorway modes in the regions of 200–700 cm⁻¹.     

聚醚型多嵌段共聚物软链段结晶特性的研究

本文使用虹外光谱及膨胀计等方法,对聚四亚甲基醚二醇类多嵌段共聚物的软链段结晶性进行了研究。在聚醚-聚酯多嵌段共聚物中(PTMEG>60％),其软链段结晶的熔点和结晶速率均随PTMEG含量减少而下降。而在聚醚-聚脲胺酯多嵌段共聚物中,由于N—H和C—O—C之间氢键的作用,即使在低温下,其软链段也难于结晶。此外,高倍拉伸会提高上述二类多嵌段共聚物中软链段结晶的熔点和结晶速率。

Determination of cationic surfactants in water samples by their enhanced resonance light scattering with azoviolet

A simple assay of cationic surfactants in water samples was developed based on the measurements of enhanced resonance light scattering (RLS). At pH 6.09 and ionic strength 0.03 M, the interactions of azoviolet (AV) with cationic surfactants, including zephiramine (Zeph) and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTMAB), result in enhanced RLS signals characterized by the peaks of 470.0, 485.0 and 495.0 nm. The enhanced RLS intensity is proportional to the concentration of cationic surfactant of Zeph in the range of 0.2~6.0x10(-6) M, and to that of CTMAB in the range of 0.4~4.8x10(-6 )M. The limit of determination (3 sigma) is 2.1x10(-8) M and 3.8x10(-8) M for the two surfactants, respectively. Determinations of cationic surfactants in synthetic and tap water samples were successfully made with a recovery of 90.5~108.6%.

Micellization and morphological characterization of Ag-micelles prepared by poly(vinyl acetate)–silver nitrate in solvent/nonsolvent system

The inducing method for preparing Ag-micelle solution with the use of mixed solvent/nonsolvent, and the morphological characterization of the generated metal–micelles were investigated and reported in this paper. In this method, an Ag containing metal chelate polymer (MCP) raw solution was preprepared by dissolving poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)–silver nitrate (AgNO₃) MCP in conc. formic acid, and a mixed solvent of HCOOH/H₂O with specific water composition was then added to induce the micellization of the MCP chain. The critical water concentration (CWC) that was needed for inducing the formation of the Ag-micelles, and the water concentration at which the flocculation of the Ag-micelles occurred in micellar solution, were studied by measuring the transmittance of the dilute MCP solution; the results showed that a long-lasting MCP solution with stable micelles might be prepared by using a H₂O/HCOOH solvent of specific weight ratio 1:1.2. The effect of the AgNO₃ concentration on the morphology of the Ag-micelles was also investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). At AgNO₃ concentration below 0.5 wt%, the Ag-micelles displayed a variety of core-shell structure; but as the AgNO₃ concentration was increased to 1.0–2.0 wt%, micelles that had Ag-solid embedded in the micellar core were observed.     

甲烷在活性炭上裂解制氢研究

在连续流动石英固定床反应器上研究了甲烷在活性炭上裂解制氢的反应，并对反应前后活性炭的比表面积以及孔径分布等的变化进行了测定。结果表明，甲烷在五种活性炭上的裂解行为基本相同，反应初期转化率最高，随着反应进行转化率逐渐降低直至一个平稳的状态；降低甲烷分压和增加甲烷与活性炭的接触时间可提高甲烷转化率；温度的升高有利于初始转化率的提高，但不利于活性炭的稳定性；反应后活性炭比表面积、孔容及微孔孔容都明显降低，平均孔径增大，孔径分布向中孔方向迁移，说明甲烷的裂解导致了活性炭孔特别是微孔内的炭沉积以及进一步的孔堵塞。
