Synergic Enhancement of High-density Polyethylene through Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene and Multi-flow Vibration Injection Molding: A Facile Fabrication with Potential Industrial Prospects

General-purpose plastics with high strength and toughness have been in great demand for structural engineering applications. To achieve the reinforcement and broaden the application scope of high-density polyethylene(HDPE), multi-flow vibration injection molding(MFVIM) and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE) are synergistically employed in this work. Herein, the MFVIM has better shear layer control ability and higher fabrication advantage for complex parts than other analogous novel injection molding technologies reported.The reinforcing effect of various filling times and UHMWPE contents as well as the corresponding microstructure evolution are investigated.When 5 wt% UHMWPE is added, MFVIM process with six flow times thickens the shear layer to the whole thickness. The tensile strength and modulus increase to 2.14 and 1.39 times, respectively, compared to neat HDPE on the premise of remaining 70% impact strength. Structural characterizations indicate that the enhancement is attributed to the improvement of shish-kebab content and lamellae compactness, as well as related to the corresponding size distributions of undissolved UHMWPE particles. This novel injection molding technology with great industrial prospects provides a facile and effective strategy to broaden the engineering applications of HDPE materials. Besides, excessive UHMWPE may impair the synergistic enhancement effect, which is also reasonably explained.

Comparison of CO2 Reduction Performance with NH3 and H2O between Cu/TiO2 and Pd/TiO2

The aim of this study is to clarify the effect of doped metal type on CO₂ reduction characteristics of TiO₂ with NH₃ and H₂O. Cu and Pd have been selected as dopants for TiO₂. In addition, the impact of molar ratio of CO₂ to reductants NH₃ and H₂O has been investigated. A TiO₂ photocatalyst was prepared by a sol-gel and dip-coating process, and then doped with Cu or Pd fine particles by using the pulse arc plasma gun method. The prepared Cu/TiO₂ film and Pd/TiO₂ film were characterized by SEM, EPMA, TEM, STEM, EDX, EDS and EELS. This study also has investigated the performance of CO₂ reduction under the illumination condition of Xe lamp with or without ultraviolet (UV) light. As a result, it is revealed that the CO₂ reduction performance with Cu/TiO₂ under the illumination condition of Xe lamp with UV light is the highest when the molar ratio of CO₂/NH₃/H₂O = 1:1:1 while that without UV light is the highest when the molar ratio of CO₂/NH₃/H₂O = 1:0.5:0.5. It is revealed that the CO₂ reduction performance of Pd/TiO₂ is the highest for the molar ratio of CO₂/NH₃/H₂O = 1:1:1 no matter the used Xe lamp was with or without UV light. The molar quantity of CO per unit weight of photocatalyst for Cu/TiO₂ produced under the illumination condition of Xe lamp with UV light was 10.2 μmol/g, while that for Pd/TiO₂ was 5.5 μmol/g. Meanwhile, the molar quantity of CO per unit weight of photocatalyst for Cu/TiO₂ produced under the illumination condition of Xe lamp without UV light was 2.5 μmol/g, while that for Pd/TiO₂ was 3.5 μmol/g. This study has concluded that Cu/TiO₂ is superior to Pd/TiO₂ from the viewpoint of the molar quantity of CO per unit weight of photocatalyst as well as the quantum efficiency.     

Bulk derivatization and cation exchange restricted access media-based trap-and-elute liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry method for determination of trace estrogens in serum

Estrone (E1), estradiols (α/β-E2), and estriol (E3) are four major metabolically active estrogens exerting strong biological activities at very low circulating concentrations. This paper reports a sensitive and efficient method with automated, on-line clean-up and detection to determine trace estrogens in a small volume of serum samples using liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometry directly, without off-line liquid–liquid or solid-phase extraction pretreatments. Serum aliquots (charcoal stripped fetal bovine serum, 100 μL) were spiked with four estrogen standards and their corresponding isotope-labeled internal standards, then bulk derivatized with 2-fluoro-1-methyl-pyridium p-toluenesulfonate (2-FMP) to establish the calibration curves and perform method validation. Calibration was established in the concentration ranges of 5–1000 pg mL⁻¹, and demonstrated good linearity of R² from 0.9944 to 0.9997 for the four derivatized estrogens. The lower detection limits obtained were 3–7 pg mL⁻¹. Good accuracy and precision in the range of 86–112% and 2.3–11.9%, respectively, were observed for the quality control (QC) samples at low, medium, and high concentration levels. The stability tests showed that the derivatized serum samples were stable 8 h after derivatization at room temperature and at least to 48 h if stored at −20 °C. The method was applied to measure trace estrogens in real human and bovine serum samples, and three of four estrogen compounds studied were observed and quantified.

借助密度泛函理论(DFT)长程校正方法,以三聚氰胺(MAM)为印迹分子,甲基丙烯酸(MAA)为功能单体,分别以二甲基丙烯酸乙二醇酯(EGDMA)、三羟甲基丙烷三甲基丙烯酸酯(TRIM)及二乙烯苯(DVB)为交联剂,以乙腈(ACN)、甲醇(MT)、乙醇(EA)、甲苯(TL)、四氢呋喃(THF)及二甲基亚砜(DMSO)为溶剂,模拟了MAM与MAA单体分子印迹聚合物(MIPs)自组装体系的构型,讨论了MAM与MAA的成键作用位点,及其稳定复合物的印迹反应比例及印迹作用机理,依据结合能(△E)优化了交联剂和溶剂,并借助分子中原子理论(AIM)揭示了MAM与MAA印迹作用的本质.计算结果表明,MAM印迹分子三嗪环上的N与胺基上H均通过氢键与MAA单体进行印迹聚合反应,且在印迹反应比例为1∶6,以TL为溶剂时形成的MAM-MAA有序复合物结合能最低,构型最稳定;与TRIM及EGDMA交联剂相比,DVB与MAM结合能最低,更适宜作为MAM-MAA印迹聚合物的交联剂.本研究为MAM-MIPs合成时印迹比例、交联剂及溶剂的选择提供了理论依据.     

不同孪晶界密度银纳米线拉伸形变行为的分子动力学模拟

采用分子动力学方法模拟了不同孪晶界密度银纳米线的拉伸形变行为, 分析了孪晶界密度对多晶银纳米线屈服强度、弹性模量和塑性变形机理的影响. 在弹性形变区域, 孪晶界的存在对杨氏模量变化的作用不明显. 在塑性形变阶段, 首先从表面边缘开始产生位错成核, 然后延伸并受阻于孪晶界. 在进一步拉伸载荷作用下, 孪晶界将作为位错源产生新的位错. 模拟结果表明, 银纳米线的强度与孪晶界和晶粒的尺寸有关. 孪晶界密度较小(即晶粒的长径比大于1)时, 此纳米线的屈服应力比单晶纳米线还要小, 只有当孪晶界密度较大时(即晶粒的长径比小于1), 孪晶界使得纳米线得到强化. 综合分析了孪晶界和晶粒尺寸对银纳米线的影响, 为构建高强度金属纳米线打下基础. 最后讨论了温度和拉伸速度对孪晶纳米线屈服应力所产生的影响, 随着温度的升高, 孪晶纳米线与单晶纳米线的屈服应力差先升高后趋于稳定; 当拉伸速度逐渐增大, 孪晶纳米线与单晶纳米线的屈服应力差先稳定后增大.
