A two-dimensional infrared correlation spectroscopic study on the thermal degradation of poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate)-co-methyl methacrylate/SiO2 nanohybrids

Two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) correlation spectroscopy was applied to study the structural changes occurring in the decomposition of PHEA-co-MMA/SiO₂. Complicated absorption spectral changes were observed in the heating process. 2D IR analysis indicates that during heating, covalent bonds, (Si-O-C), between the polymer and the inorganic moiety were formed, which was the main factor in the improvement in thermal properties of the hybrids such as the decomposition temperatures (T_d). The thermal stability of the hybrids was also studied by solid-state ²⁹Si MAS NMR spectroscopy and TGA tests. Their results complemented each other well.

Thermal decomposition of ammonium vanadyl oxalate supported on various oxides

The thermal decomposition of ammonium vanadyl oxalate supported on La₂O₃, MgO, SiO₂, Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, TiO₂, SAPO-5, and ZSM-5 oxides in a dynamic atmosphere of dry air was compared by thermal gravimetric analysis (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The calcined catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The TG and DTA results demonstrate that the surface acid-base properties of the oxides play a significant role in the decomposition behaviour of the supported ammonium vanadyl oxalate, i.e. the basic oxides exhibit an endothermic effect and the acidic oxides show an exothermic effect. Two mechanisms are suggested for thermal decomposition of ammonium vanadyl oxalate on basic and acidic oxides, respectively. After transformation of the ammonium vanadyl oxalate to vanadia, subsequent rearrangement of the vanadia on the surface of the supports was also observed. During the thermal treatment or calcination in air, solid state reactions of vanadia with the surface of oxides such as La₂O₃, ZrO₂ and TiO₂ took place to form new phases.     

MCSCF reaction-path energetics and thermal rate-constants for the reaction of3NH with H2

Summary The intrinsic reaction-path, reactants, transition state and products for the reaction of NH (^3–)+H₂ (¹ _g ⁺ ) NH₂ (²B₁)+H (²S) involving the lowest triplet electronic state of NH₃ were calculated using multi-configuration (MC) SCF methods. The calculated change of internal energy for the reaction of 11.0 kcal mol^–1 agrees with the experimental value within 2 kcal mol^–1. The barrier to reaction is 23.4 kcal mol^–1 high. The harmonic MCSCF reaction-path potential was calculated and canonical variational transition state theory calculations of the rate constants performed over a temperature range from 400 to 2500 K. The computed rate constants are generally two orders of magnitude smaller than those of the comparable reaction of OH with H₂, whereas those of the reverse reaction are by a factor of 20 larger than those of OH₂ with H.     

Applicability of glass fiber as a support material for generation of gaseous standard mixtures using thermal decomposition of the surface compound. Calibration of analytical equipment

The use of glass fiber as a support material for a surface compound serving to generate gaseous standard mixtures of ethene is described. The technique is based on the process of thermal decomposition of the surface compound in a desorber connected on‐line via a multi‐port valve to the calibrated device. The surface compound undergoes thermal decomposition at 245°C, yielding known amounts of ethene. The method enables on‐line preparation of a standard mixture immediately before the calibration step. Consequently, it can be also applied for the generation of standard mixtures containing volatile, malodorous, unstable, and toxic compounds.     

Preparation and mechanical properties of thermal energy storage microcapsules

A series of heat energy storage microcapsules was prepared using melamine-formaldehyde resin as the shell material and the mechanical properties of the shell were investigated. A phase change material whose melting point was 24 °C was used as core and the quantity of heat involved in phase transition was 225.5 J/g. Average diameter of the microcapsules varied from 5 to 10 μm, and the globular surface was smooth and compact. The mechanical properties of the shell were evaluated by observing the surface morphological structure change after application of pressure by means of scanning electron microscopy. When the mass ratio of the core and shell material is 3:1, a yield point of about 1.1×10⁵ Pa was found and when the compression was increased beyond this point the microcapsules showed plastic behavior. This has been attributed to the cross-link density and to the high degree of reaction of the shell material. Different yield points subsequently reflected differences in the mechanical behavior. It was also found that the mechanical intensity of double-shell microcapsules was better than that of single shelled ones.     

Sound velocity in different reacting thermal plasma systems

In most cases the energy dissipated in plasma jets used either,for heating or spraying is varied by changing the are current, the total gas floc+rate, and composition. However, when doing so, conditions are reached where the plasma jet may become supersonic. To predict such conditions or to characterize supersonic plasma jets the knowledge of the sound velocitya is mandatory The goal of this paper is to calculatea versus plasma forming gas composition, temperature, and pressure. Rigorous calculation would imply the knowledge of the chemical reaction kinetics, sound velocity depending strongly on this. Unfortunately such kinetics are generally lolknown for plasma jet floras and the only possibility is to determine the equilibrium sound velocitya calculated through the isentropic coefficient T. This coefficient has been calculated taking into account the dissociation and ionization reactions at equilibrium for temperatures ranging from 300 to 25,000 K and pressures between 0.1 and 1 Mpa for Ar, H₂, He, Ar-He, Ar-H₂, O₂, N₂, air, .steam, and methane.a often called the frozen sound velocity, was also calculated using (ratio of specific heats) instead of .
