Slow crack growth in blends of HDPE and model copolymers

The resistance to slow crack growth (SCG) was measured in binary blends of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and 5–10% concentrations of model ethylene-butene random copolymers by measuring the time to failure (t_f) under a constant stress intensity. An increase of t_f with the addition of the copolymer if the copolymer could crystallize and the increase was greater the higher branch density. The copolymer with 117 branches/1000C could not crystallize and therefore its blend had a t_f that was less than that of the HDPE. The fracture energies of the blends as determined by their resistance to SCG were compared with the energy by rapid fracture, J_c, as previously measured by Rhee and Crist. It is concluded that SCG is more sensitive to variations in the microstructure than is rapid fracture and that the differences in SCG behavior can be qualitatively explained in terms of the differences in microstructure of the blends. ©1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Morphologies of microporous polyethylene and polypropylene crystallized from solution in supercritical propane

The morphologies of solvent-free, microporous, mechanically self-supporting cylinders of linear polyethylene and isotactic polypropylene, crystallized from solution in supercritical propane, were examined by an SEM technique. The morphology of gels (or foams), obtained with little or no shrinkage from 2% to 35% solutions by weight of polyethylene (99% to 85% porosities), is shown in some detail. Lamellae with very little or considerable mutual organization occur, often in the form of stacks with straight or coiled axes (axialites). Further growth of these can lead to particles with a roughly spherical overall shape and a predominantly radial orientation of the lamellae at the particle surface. Subcooled isotactic polypropylene, on the other hand, crystallizes in the form of perfectly shaped birefringent microspheres of very uniform size. ©1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

低密度聚乙烯光引发交联机理——Ⅱ.BNB自旋捕捉ESR研究

在光引发剂二苯甲酮(BP)存在下,紫外光辐照低密度聚乙烯(LDPE)所形成的自由基中间体已被自旋捕捉剂2,4,6-三特丁基亚硝基苯(BNB)所捕捉,其自旋加合物自由基已为电子自旋共振(ESR)所特征。现已检测和鉴定到二种自旋加合物:一种是叔碳自由基;另一种是仲碳自由基。它们分别是由BP的激发三重态从LDPE链的支化点和亚甲基团上夺氢所形成的自由基中间体同自旋捕捉剂BNB反应生成的。上述的证据表明:LDPE的光引发交联点主要发生在叔碳和仲碳原子上,且H-型交联点占主导地位。

溶剂热还原合成Cr2O3纳米管(英)

Cr₂O₃ nanotubes with diameters of 80 nm and lengths of 550 nm were synthesized in a solvothermal reduction system at 180 ℃. The acetyl acetone (AcAc) and ethylene glycol (EG) were used as the chelate agent and the reductant respectively in the system. An intermediate compound-Cr(Ⅲ)(C₅H₇O₂)₃ was formed to force Cr₂O₃to crystallize along one direction.

Adsorption of poly(ethylene glycol)s on mercury/aqueous solution interface 1. Kinetics of PEG 8000 adsorption

In order to study the influence of the adsorption of fulvic compounds on voltammetric signals and to understand better the adsorption of these compounds on hydrophobic natural water interfaces, adsorption studies of macromolecules such as poly(ethylene glycol) (HO(CH₂CH₂O)_n) with molecular weight of 8000 were done on the mercury/water interface by a.c. voltammetry at the potential of zero charge. The maximum surface concentration, adsorption equilibrium constant and adsorption rate constant have been determined from the global adsorption mechanism, controlled by two determining steps: diffusion and kinetics of adsorption at the interface.     

制备参数对高比表面积介孔催化剂La-Co-Zr-O结构与性能的影响

采用双表面活性剂模板(十六烷基三甲基溴化铵和聚乙二醇辛基苯基醚的混合物)分解法制备了不同原子比(n_La+n_Co)/(n_La+n_Co+n_Zr)和不同温度焙烧的系列介孔混合氧化物催化剂La-Co-Zr-O。运用XRD、N₂吸附/脱附、XPS和H₂-TPR等技术对催化剂进行了表征，并以CO和C₃H₈氧化为模型反应，考察了组分配比和焙烧温度等参数对催化剂催化性能的影响。比表面积和孔径测试结果表明，样品具有很高的比表面积(108～266 m²·g^-1)和分布集中的孔径(3.4～3.9 nm)，Zr含量较高的样品比表面积较大。XRD结果表明，样品中的活性组分钴物种主要以Co₃O₄形式存在；XPS和H₂-TPR结果表明，样品中可还原的晶格氧的数量、活动度以及表面钴原子浓度均与催化剂对CO和C₃H₈的氧化性能密切相关。原子比为0.5的样品中，较多的晶格氧易于在相对低温下还原；而原子比为0.7的样品表面钴原子浓度较高，这使得两样品均表现出较高的催化活性。经650 ℃焙烧的样品仍保持较高的比表面积(108 m²·g^-1)和分布集中的介孔孔径(最可几孔径约3.8 nm)，且催化活性下降幅度也很小，表明该系列介孔催化剂具有优良的抗烧结能力和介孔热稳定性。     

聚乙二醇改性聚乳酸的研究

将丙交酯（ＤＬ ＬＡ）与聚乙二醇（ＰＥＧ）共聚得到了一系列高分子量的共聚物．用ＩＲ、１Ｈ ＮＭＲ和ＤＭＡ对它的结构和粘弹性进行了表征，并测定了其力学性能，同时对材料在加工过程中特征粘度的变化也进行了研究．结果表明，ＰＥＧ与ＬＡ的共聚物是一种三嵌段结构ＨＯ ＰＬＡ ＰＥＧ ＰＬＡ ＯＨ．当ＰＥＧ含量增加时，强度下降，伸长率增加，共聚物逐渐由脆性向韧性转变，因此用ＰＥＧ改性的ＰＬＡ是一种综合性能可调控的生物降解材料
