Delamination of sodium montmorillonite in PA6 in the presence of melamine polyphosphate

This study describes the influence of melamine polyphosphate (MPP) flame retardant addition on layered structure of virgin sodium montmorillonite (MMT) in PA6/MMT system obtained in extrusion process. It was found that the extrusion of the PA6/MMT binary system in co‐rotating twin screw extruder gives intercalated clay nanocomposites, while during extrusion of ternary PA6/MMT/MPP composite, full exfoliation of clay was obtained in the system. Structure of the composites was proved utilizing wide angle X‐ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Exfoliation of MMT in ternary PA6/MMT/MPP system was also confirmed by rheological studies (viscosity and creep measurements) which were carried out using rotational rheometer. Young's modulus of PA6/MMT/MPP was found to be ~25% greater comparing to PA6/MPP of the same filling level. Cone calorimetry experiments proved decrease of heat release rate peak of PA6/MMT/MPP by ~55% comparing to PA6/MPP with the same total filling level. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

探讨了硅胶-氰丙基(SiO2/C3-CN,(1 g/0.5 g,6 mL))复合固相萃取柱分离与净化原油中饱和烃和芳烃组分的方法。结果表明:SiO2/C3-CN复合固相萃取柱较单一硅胶(SiO2)小柱的分离效果好,仅使用4.5 mL正己烷和4.5 mL正己烷-二氯甲烷(1∶1)洗脱即可实现饱和烃和芳烃组分的完全分离与满意回收(回收率分别为98%和99%);而单一硅胶小柱存在低环数芳烃化合物(如萘及其甲基系列、苊等)与饱和烃组分的共洗脱现象。通过对原油实物样品的测定,饱和烃和芳烃组分在硅胶-氰丙基复合柱上经正己烷、正己烷-二氯甲烷(体积比1∶1)的洗脱行为与标准混合液完全一致,该方法实用可靠、流程简单、试剂消耗少、精密度良好(RSD为4.2%～8.5%),适用于石油样品中饱和烃和芳烃组分的定量分析。     

Influence of Interfacial Tension on Seeded Calcium Carbonate Scale Precipitation: Effect of Adsorbed Asphaltenes

Clay particles with adsorbed asphaltenes, which are commonly found in produced water, have been used as seed particles during precipitation of calcium carbonate in order to determine whether such particles may influence the kinetics of precipitation. The results show that the presence of the adsorbed asphaltenes accelerates the precipitation, and there is also a significant difference between different types of adsorbed asphaltenes. The adsorption of asphaltenes at the seed surface leads to a significant increase in the interfacial tension between the seed surface and the aqueous solution, and calcium carbonate therefore precipitates at the seed surface in order to reduce this high interfacial tension.

Layered silicate‐polyamide‐6 nanocomposites: Influence of silicate species on morphology and properties

The effect of two different species of layered silicates on the morphology, mechanical properties, and methanol vapor barrier properties of polyamide‐6 (PA6) nanocomposites was examined using identical experimental conditions for both species. The layered silicate species used were natural montmorillonite (MMT) and synthetic expandable fluoro‐mica (FM), the chemical compositions of which were Na_0.43(Al_1.56Mg_0.31Fe²⁺ _0.09)(Si_3.95Al_0.05)O₁₀(OH)₂ and Na_0.66Mg_2.68(Si_3.98Al_0.02)O₁₀F₂, respectively. The layered silicates were modified with a dodecylammonium salt (DDA) using an ion‐exchange method. The resulting organically modified layered silicates were melt‐kneaded with PA6 in a twin‐screw kneader at 260 °C. By quantitative analysis of the silicate layers dispersed in the PA6, the number‐average aspect ratio was estimated to be 76 for DDAMMT‐PA6 and 85 for DDAFM‐PA6. This confirmed that the primary particle size of the initial silicate did affect the aspect ratio. The rigidity and gas barrier properties of the nanocomposites appeared to depend upon the morphology of the nanocomposite. On the other hand, the elongation at break of the nanocomposites decreased as the amount of silicate increased. This reduction in ductility was ascribed to the difference in morphology of the nanocomposites, that is, distribution of silicate nanolayers in the polymer matrix. The homogeneity of the particle fraction of exfoliated nanolayers was clearly an important factor affecting the properties of the nanocomposites. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Poly(cyclohexene oxide)/clay nanocomposites by photoinitiated cationic polymerization via activated monomer mechanism

Poly(cyclohexene oxide) (PCHO)/clay nanocomposites were prepared by in situ photoinitiated activated monomer cationic polymerization. The polymerization of cyclohexene oxide through the interlayer galleries of the clay can provide distribution of the clay layers in the polymer matrix homogenously and results in the formation of PCHO/clay nanocomposites. The exfoliated structures were characterized by X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
