SYNTHESIS, CROSSLINKING MECHANISM AND PROPERTIES OF A POLYACRYLATE/POLYURETHANE COMPOSITE COATING

A polyacrylate/polyurethane (P(A) / P(U)) composite coating has been prepared bycrosslinking an acetoacetylated polyacrylate with a vinylic group terminated polyurethaneat room temperature. A model Michael reaction between ethyl acetoacetate (EAA) andmethyl acrylate (MA) was designed to study the crosslinking mechanism. It was foundthat the two active hydrogen atoms in acetoacetyl group can both add to vinylic groupsand the yield of mono- and bis-adducts are much affected by the molar ratio of acetoacetylto vinylic groups. Higher crosslinking degree and better properties could be obtained withdecreasing the molar ratio of the two active groups from 1/1 to 0.6/1 in the compositecoatings.

Preparation of TiO2 Sol Using TiCl4 as a Precursor

A titanium dioxide sol with narrow particle size distribution was synthesized using TiCl₄ as the starting material. The sol was prepared by a process where HCl was added to a gel of hydrated titanium oxide to dissolve it. The resulting aqueous titanic acid solution was heated to form titanium dioxide sol. The effects of preparation parameters were investigated. TiCl₄ was slowly added to distilled water at 5°C. Aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide was added to adjust the pH of the system to 8–12. After aging for a period of time, the peptized sol was filtered and sufficiently washed. The filtered cake was repulped in water. Hydrochloric acid was slowly added to the solution with stirring. After condensation reaction and crystallization, a transparent sol with suspended TiO₂ was formed. XRD results show that the crystalline phase was anatase. The suspended TiO₂ particles were rhombus primary particles with the major axis ca. 20 nm and the minor axis ca. 5 nm. The TiO₂ particles prepared at pH 8 had the largest surface area of 141 cm³/g and it was microporous. The compositions of the solution which yielded the smallest suspended TiO₂ particles were TiO₂:HCl (35% HCl) = 1:1 (molar ratio), concentration of TiO₂ = 10%. Hydroxypropyl cellulose with viscosity of 150–400 cps was added as a dispersant. The sol was excellent in dispersibility and long-term stability. Transparent thin films could be obtained through dip-coating glass substrate in the sol. The dip-coating on glass can be less than three times to have one monolayer TiO₂. The transparent TiO₂ thin film had strong hydrophilicity after being illuminated by UV light.     

Li_3PO_4包覆LiMn_2O_4正极材料的结构表征和电化学性能

采用共沉淀法在尖晶石LiMn2O4颗粒表面包覆Li3PO4.XRD、SEM研究结果表明,包覆后的材料仍为尖晶石结构,粒径均匀.电化学性能测试表明,Li3PO4包覆层的存在,减少了正极材料与电解液的直接接触,抑制了高温下电解液对LiMn2O4材料的侵蚀,从而有效改善了高温下材料的循环性能.在40℃时,包覆样品的比容量衰减率都低于未包覆样品,其中包覆1%Li3PO4的样品的初始比容量为110.4mAh/g,50次循环后比容量为84.1mAh/g.     

Dynamically coating the capillary with 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids for separation of basic proteins by capillary electrophoresis

Ionic substances with melting points close to room temperature are referred to as ionic liquids. Because ionic liquids are environmentally benign and are good solvents for a wide range of both organic and inorganic materials, interest for their potential uses in different chemical processes is increasing. In this paper, a capillary electrophoretic method for the analysis of basic proteins including lysozyme, cytochrome c, trypsinoge, and α-chymotyypsinogen A is reported. The method, in which 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids are used as the running electrolytes, leads to a surface charge reversal on the capillary wall. The effects of the alkyl group, imidazolium counterion, and the concentration of the ionic liquids were discussed. The optimum buffer system was a 90 mM 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (1E-3MI-TFB) solution. The applied voltage was −15 kV and detection was performed by monitoring absorbance at 240 nm. Baseline separation, high efficiencies, and symmetrical peaks of four proteins were obtained. The R.S.D. values of migration times and peak areas were <0.68 and <3.0%, respectively. The separation mechanism seems to involve association between the imidazolium cations and the proteins.     

Protective Properties of Zinc-Rich Coatings: An Impedance Method Estimate

The impedance of zinc-rich polymer coatings on steel in a 3-% NaCl solution is studied. The electrochemical behavior of the electrode is satisfactorily described by an equivalent circuit that contains a constant-phase element, which reflects fractal properties of the zinc surface in the binder. From the results of calculations of the circuit elements for metal-rich electrodes with different zinc contents computed are fractions of the active area of the surface of the coating and its fractal dimensionality.     

CZE separations of basic proteins at low pH in fused silica capillaries with surfaces modified by silane derivatization and/or adsorption of polar polymers

Mixtures of several basic proteins have been used to test CZE capillaries with surfaces modified by new pretreatment procedures; the performance obtained has been compared with that achieved using capillaries treated by procedures described in the literature. It has been shown that addition of non-ionic polyvinylalcohols (PVA) to CZE buffer solutions deactivates even bare, i.e. untreated, fused silica surfaces and renders them suitable for separations of basic proteins. The performance obtained from such surfaces was comparable with that of capillaries modified by the more elaborate procedures of etching, silanol derivatization, and/or adsorptive coating (again with polymers). A home-made device is described which enables derivatization and coating reactions to be performed on fused silica capillaries under an inert atmosphere, i.e. one free from oxygen and water.

Carbon film growth on iron substrates by a CVD method

Carbon film coatings have been produced by a hot‐wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method under moderate conditions from pyrolysis of a mixture of propane and argon on an Fe(110) substrate at temperatures of 800–900 °C for different deposition times. The effects of temperature and reaction time on the growth of the carbon films were studied. Field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Raman microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and x‐ray diffraction methods have been performed to study the surface morphologies, growth features and microstructures of the carbon film coatings. The FESEM analyses indicated that carbon films on an Fe substrate consisted of flat‐layer and filamentous morphologies. Raman and AES analyses showed that the carbon initially was crystalline but the degree of disorder in the top layer of the carbon film increased with increasing deposition temperature. High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy studies are also in agreement with Raman results. The same trend was observed when the deposition time was increased from 5 to 30 min.

Coaxial electrospinning core-shell fibers for self-healing scratch on coatings

Polystyrene (PS) fibers with core-shell structure were prepared by coaxial electrostatic spinning using liquid epoxy or curing agent as the core and PS solution as the shell. Scratch self-healing coatings were realized by using the healant-loaded core-shell fibers in the matrix.
