Facile Iron‐Mediated Dispersant‐Free Suspension Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate via Reverse ATRP in Water

An iron‐mediated reverse ATRP of methyl methacrylate (MMA) is successfully carried out in water in the absence of any dispersants, using a water‐soluble 2,2′‐azobis(2‐methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (V‐50) as the initiator and the stabilizer, and using an oil‐soluble N,N‐butyldithiocarbamate ferrum (Fe(S₂CN(C₄H₉)₂)₃) as the catalyst without adding any additional ligands. Micron‐sized PMMA particles with UV light‐sensitive ‐S₂CN(C₄H₉)₂ end group are obtained, and monomer droplet nucleation and suspension polymerization mechanism are proposed. Polymerization results demonstrated typical “living”/controlled characteristics of ATRP: first‐order polymerization kinetics, linear increase of molecular weights with monomer conversion and narrow molecular weight distributions for the resultant PMMA particles. NMR spectroscopy and chain‐extension experiments under UV light irradiation confirm the attachment and livingness of UV light‐sensitive ‐S₂CN(C₄H₉)₂ group in the chain end.

On geodesic structures of weakly median graphs—II: Compactness, the role of isometric rays

We prove that the vertex set of a K_ℵ0-free weakly median graph G endowed with the weak topology associated with the geodesic convexity on V(G) is compact if and only if G has one of the following equivalent properties: (1) G contains no isometric rays; (2) any chain of interval of G ordered by inclusion is finite; (3) every self-contraction of G fixes a non-empty finite regular weakly median subgraph of G. We study the self-contractions of K_ℵ0-free weakly median graphs which fix no finite set of vertices. We also follow a suggestion of Imrich and Klavzar [Product Graphs, Wiley, New York, 2000] by defining different centers of such a graph G, each of them giving rise to a non-empty finite regular weakly median subgraph of G which is fixed by all automorphisms of G.

Microstructure development in concentrated suspensions in a spinning ball rheometer

The spinning ball rheometer has been proposed as a method to measure the microstructure effect on the bulk rheological properties of concentrated suspensions. Recent experiments have shown that the measured extra torque on the spinning ball decreases as the radius of the spinning ball becomes comparable to the size of the suspended particle. We have performed a series of three‐dimensional boundary element calculations of the rheometer geometry to probe the microstructure effects that contribute to that apparent slip. We present a series of quasi‐static results based on random initial configurations as well as fully three‐dimensional transient calculations, both of which are compared to the available experimental data. For the two cases, the apparent viscosity decreased as the size of the spinning ball decreased relative to the suspended particle. Comparison of the quasi‐static and transient simulations indicates that the microstructure development is critical even at short times. In the transient calculations, the viscosity was observed to increase substantially relative to the torque based on the random initial configuration.

The Generalized Center-Weak Saddle of General Homogeneous System of Degree n

In this paper,a problem of center-weak focus of a homogeneous system of degree n is transformed into a problem of generalized center-weak saddle. It provides formulae for the saddle values of the first (4-(-1)n)m orders in such a system,where m=n-1 if n is an even number and m=(n-1)/2 if n is an odd number.     

Stabilization of nonlinear systems in compound critical cases

In this paper, we study the stabilization of nonlinear systems in critical cases by using the center manifold reduction technique. Three degenerate cases are considered, wherein the linearized model of the system has two zero eigenvalues, one zero eigenvalue and a pair of nonzero pure imaginary eigenvalues, or two distinct pairs of nonzero pure imaginary eigenvalues; while the remaining eigenvalues are stable. Using a local nonlinear mapping (normal form reduction) and Liapunov stability criteria, one can obtain the stability conditions for the degenerate reduced models in terms of the original system dynamics. The stabilizing control laws, in linear and/or nonlinear feedback forms, are then designed for both linearly controllable and linearly uncontrollable cases. The normal form transformations obtained in this paper have been verified by using code MACSYMA.

Effect of flow history on the structure of a non-polar polymer/clay nanocomposite model system

The effect of flow history on the linear and non-linear viscoelastic properties of non-polar polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) has been investigated by means of a suitable model system based on a Newtonian matrix. The structural recovery of this model suspension after cessation of different pre-shear rates was monitored by measuring its linear viscoelastic properties while its structural evolution under shear flow was followed by using stepwise changes in shear rate including flow reversal measurements. To assess the kinetics of the structural evolution at rest and under flow, empirical relations of stretched exponential form were used. It is shown that for different pre-shear rates, different equilibrium structures were reached at rest but with a similar kinetics of recovery. As a result, the low frequency behaviour was typical of solid-like or weak gel material, strongly dependent on the flow history. After any given shear rate under steady state, only one reversible equilibrium structure was reached after a kinetics that was dependent on the pre-shear history. Finally, typical flow reversal responses as observed for PNCs are reported and interpreted in light of the microstructure evolution under flow. This paper was presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Society of Rheology, Hersonisos, Greece April 2006.
