SYNTHESIS OF LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLYACRYLATES WITH THIOESTER AS BRIDGE-BOND

A new series of acrylates with the same mesogens containing thioester as bridge-bondwere synthesized, and the acrylates were characterized by H~1 NMR, IR and MS. Thepolymers were obtained by radical polymerization using AIBN as initiator. The monomersand polymers exhibit thermotropic-enantiotropic liquid crystalline behavior.

RuO<Subscript>2</Subscript>–TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> mixed oxide composite coating for improvement of Al-alloy sacrificial anodes

It has been recently proved that RuO₂ can act as an effective surface activator of aluminum alloy sacrificial anodes. TiO₂ has the property of stabilizing RuO₂ coating and resisting biofouling on metal surfaces. Hence, a mixed oxide catalytic coating of TiO₂ and RuO₂ can enhance the galvanic performance of aluminum alloy sacrificial anodes and resists biofouling on the anode surface. In the present work RuO₂–TiO₂ mixed oxide was coated on aluminum alloy sacrificial anodes. The large and uniform porous nature of the coating was found to facilitate efficient ion diffusion. The coating was found to persist on the anode even after 3 months of galvanic exposure. The anode having an optimum combination of the mixed oxide had 70% TiO₂ as the major component in the coating. The catalytic coating significantly improved the performance of the anodes to a large extent.     

The crystallization characteristics of polypropylene and low ethylene content polypropylene copolymer with copolyesters

The crystallization characteristics of polypropylene (PP) and low ethylene content PP copolymers with and without nucleating agents were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). PP and PP copolymers was blended with three different kinds of co[poly(butylene terephthalate-p-oxybenzoate)] copolyesters, designated B28, B46, and B64, with the copolyester level varying from 5 to 15 wt.%. All samples were prepared by solution blending in hot xylene solvent at 50 °C. The crystallization behavior of samples was then studied by DSC. The results indicate that these three copolyesters accelerate the crystallization rate of PP and PP copolymers in a manner similar to that of a nucleating agent. The acceleration of crystallization rate was most pronounced in these blend systems with a maximum level at 5 wt.% of B28. The observed changes in crystallization behavior are explained by the effect of the composition and the amount of copolyester in the blends.     

Hydrogen cycling induced diffraction peak broadening in C14 and C15 Laves phases

The diffraction peak broadening induced by hydrogen absorption-desorption cycling has been analyzed in four different Laves phase compounds with the C14 and C15 structures. The broadening is due to strain most probably originating from dislocations generated at the interface between the α and β hydride phases in connection with the cell volume difference between the two phases. It has been shown that it is strongly compound dependent. In the case of the C14 structure, the broadening is large and isotropic, and the latter can be related to the isotropy of the elastic constants of the metallic phase. The broadening is less for the compounds with the C15 structure, which can be related to a possibly softer lattice. Better ageing properties after long-term cycling are predicted for this crystal structure.     

Hardware components wastes pyrolysis: energy recovery and liquid fraction valorisation

Pyrolysis of hardware components wastes consisting mainly in computers and television components was performed under nitrogen. The degradation products were separated in three fractions, solid, liquid and gaseous. Analyses of the three phases were carried out using gas chromatography (GC), mass spectrometry (MS), thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The energetic content of the gas phase and the economic value of the liquid phase were also determined. The gas fraction produced was rich in light hydrocarbons and hydrogen. Consequently, its calorific value was high and widely sufficient to make the pyrolysis process self-sustained. The main products of the liquid phase were phenol and isopropylphenol (ca. 50–80 wt.%). The presence of Br-based compounds, deriving from the flame retardant employed in hardware components, were also detected. A controlled combustion of the solid phase permitted to obtain the glass fibres unaltered, which can be recycled.

A theoretical evaluation of steric and electronic effects on the structure of [OSO4 (NR3)] (NR3 = bulky chiral alkaloid derivative) complexes

Summary The novel theoretical scheme IMOMM, integrating ab initio and molecular mechanics contributions in a single geometry optimization process, is applied to the structural determination of different [OsO₄(NR₃)] (NR₃ = bulky chiral alkaloid derivative) species closely related to active catalysts for the asymmetric dihydroxylation of olefins. Computed values compare in a satisfactory way with available X-ray data, the relationship between the Os-N distance and the nature of the NR₃, ligand being properly reproduced. The computational scheme allows the separate quantification of electronic and steric effects, as well as the identification of the specific steric repulsions responsible for the difference.
