偶氮苯介晶基元取向方式对其取向稳定性影响

根据取向透射率变化研究了偶氮苯侧链液晶聚合物在不同光照功率条件下的取向,用锥光干涉法表征了侧链介晶基元的取向方向,并研究了升温对取向膜的稳定性影响.实验结果表明介晶基元的取向速度和取向度都随光照时间和光照功率增加而增加|超过一定阈值功率（20 mW/cm2）时,随着光照时间延长薄膜的透射率（取向度）反而降低.高功率光照使侧链介晶基元发生了面内和面外两种取向,面外取向使聚合物膜的透射率降低.面外倾斜取向的介晶基元不稳定,在取向未达到饱和时停止光照,倾斜取向的介晶基元容易发生解取向,而面内取向的介晶基元则能维持取向的状态.用不饱和取向的方法,在光照功率为 20 mW/cm2时,取向时间缩短为饱和取向的1/20,薄膜的取向度提高1.3倍.4 ms的一次曝光足以使聚合物膜产生可读出、稳定的面内取向,取向的结果能保持2年不发生变化.     

Direction-dependent functions of physical properties for crystals and polycrystals

Some physical properties of crystals differ in direction n because crystal lattices are often anisotropic. A polycrystal is an aggregate of numerous tiny crystallites. Unless the polycrystal is an isotropic aggregate of crystallites, the physical properties of the polycrystal vary with n. The direction-dependent functions （DDF） for crystals and polycrystals are introduced to describe the variations of the physical properties in direction n. Until now there are few papers dealing systematically with relations between the DDF and the crystalline orientation distribution. Herein we give general expressions of the DDF for crystals and polycrystals. We discuss the applications of the DDF in describing the physical properties of crystals and polycrystals.     

On the orientation of ellipsoidal particles in a turbulent shear flow

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of small prolate ellipsoidal particles suspended in a turbulent channel flow is reported. The coupling between the fluid and the particles is one-way. The particles are subjected to the hydrodynamic drag force and torque valid for creeping flow conditions. Six different particle cases with varying particle aspect ratios and equivalent response times are investigated. Results show that, in the near-wall region, ellipsoidal particles tend to align with the mean flow direction, and the alignment increases with increasing particle aspect ratio. When the particle inertia increases, the particles are less oriented in the spanwise direction and more oriented in the wall-normal direction. In the core region of the channel, the orientation becomes isotropic.     

Crystallization behavior and origin of c-axis orientation in sol–gel-derived ZnO:Li thin films on glass substrates

Preferentially, c-axis-oriented lithium-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Li) thin films were prepared on Pyrex borosilicate glass substrates by a sol–gel method starting from zinc acetate dihydrate, lithium chloride, 2-methoxyethanol and monoethanolamine. Decomposition and crystallization behavior of dip-coated amorphous precursor films during post-annealing treatments were investigated by thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), optical transmittance measurements, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was revealed that the films contained the organic compounds at temperatures up to 300°C, which was the key to the transformation from the amorphous to the crystalline state. Thermodynamical consideration of nucleation and crystal growth was made taking account of surface energies of the film and the glass substrate and an interfacial energy between them. Mechanisms underlying the c-axis orientation were proposed based upon the initial orientation due to nucleation and final growth orientation.

Polydomain model predictions of liquid crystalline polymer orientation in mixed shear/extensional channel flows

 The Larson-Doi (LD) polydomain model is used to simulate orientation development along the centerline of slit-expansion and slit-contraction flows of liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs). Orientation is computed using the LD structural evolution equations, subject to an imposed velocity field that accounts for the spatial variation of both shear and extension rates characteristic of this class of flows. Computed axial distributions of orientation averaged through the sample thickness are qualitatively similar to birefringence and X-ray scattering measurements of molecular orientation in similar flows of lyotropic and thermotropic LCPs. In slit-expansion flows, the simulations predict a 90^∘ flip in orientation direction near the midplane due to transverse stretching in the expansion region. Far away from the midplane where shear gradients dominate, orientation remains primarily along the flow direction. Within the LD model, tumbling and flow aligning materials respond in a qualitatively similar manner to mixed shear and extension, although tumbling materials are systematically more susceptible to the effects of extension.

PAN基碳纤维在石墨化过程中的拉曼光谱

采用激光拉曼光谱研究了PAN基碳纤维在石墨化(2 000～3 000 ℃)过程中的结构变化;比较了石墨化前后纤维表面和断面拉曼光谱特征。结果表明：高温石墨化后,碳纤维的一级拉曼光谱有3个峰(D,G和D′),表征碳纤维结构有序程度的拉曼参数主要有D和G峰的半高宽(FWHM)、G峰的拉曼位移和D与G峰的积分强度比R(I_D/I_G)。随着热处理温度的提高,D和G峰的半高宽、G峰的拉曼位移和R值均逐渐减小,即使经过3 000 ℃高温处理后,D峰仍然存在,R值为0.19,说明纤维中仍存在无序结构。另外,R值与纤维中石墨微晶的基面宽度L_a成反比,石墨化后纤维取向性的增加使得表面和断面的拉曼光谱有明显的差异。因此,可利用激光拉曼光谱来定量表征碳纤维的石墨化程度和取向。

聚甲基丙烯酸三氟乙酯单体与分子链在金属有机框架中吸附及取向特性的理论研究

本文结合分子动力学、密度泛函理论和蒙特卡洛方法，研究了光学损耗低的氟化聚合物单体分子甲基丙烯酸三氟乙酯（TFMA）及其分子链在[Zn2(BDC)2TED]n和[Zn2(BPDC)2TED]n两种结构有序的金属有机框架（MOFs）材料中的吸附特性，得到相应的吸附数量和取向程度，以探索提高聚合物材料双折射性的有效途径。通过分析结果得出影响TFMA单体分子在这两种MOF孔道中吸附及取向特性的三个因素：a）由于MOF孔道壁是由金属离子和有机配体组成的极性表面，MOF孔壁与极性分子TFMA之间的静电相互作用对TFMA单体分子在孔道内的吸附和取向有促进作用；b）在受限空间中的聚合物单体分子之间的静电相互作用使其分子间隙更加紧密，同样也对其分子取向有促进作用；c）在这个两种孔洞与聚合物单体分子相对大小不同的MOF中，单体分子和分子链的取向度基本一致，但单体分子在孔径较大的MOF中吸附数量更多。这三个因素的重要影响，为聚合物单体或MOF的选取、对聚合物链取向及双折射性的控制提供理论预测方法。
