Measurement of the surface excitation parameter of Kapton,polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

Reflection electron energy loss spectra (REELS) were measured for five insulating organic compounds: Kapton, polyethylene (PE), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polystyrene (PS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), as well as for Ni and Si, in the energy range between 200 and 1600 eV. The average number of surface excitations for a single surface crossing were determined from the experimental data and were found to be considerably smaller than for earlier studied materials, which mainly consisted of elemental metals [Surf. Sci. 486(2001)L461]. The surface excitation parameter, a material parameter used to quantify the relative intensity of surface losses in (photo)electron spectroscopy, was extracted from the data and compared with values found in the literature. The results indicate that surface excitations only have a minor influence on quantification of XPS spectra of polymers. On the other hand, a correction for surface excitations turns out to be essential for measurements of the electron inelastic mean free path of polymers when a metal is used as reference material.     

Effect of atomic oxygen irradiation on the structural and tribological characteristics of polytetrafluoroethylene and its composites

Based on the ground‐based simulation facility, the effects of atomic oxygen (AO) irradiation on the structural and tribological properties of pure polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and carbon fiber and MoS₂‐filled PTFE composites were studied by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and a ball‐on‐disc tribometer. The results shown that AO irradiation had significant effects on the structural and tribological properties of pure PTFE, in which the surface morphologies, mass loss, friction coefficient, and wear rate had been changed greatly after AO irradiation. However, it was noticeable that the addition of carbon fiber and MoS₂ filler to PTFE could improve the AO resist capacity and tribological properties of PTFE composites significantly.

密度泛函理论方法研究填料表面对聚合物摩擦化学的影响

采用超声分散法制备出氧化铝、高岭土、氧化硅/聚四氟乙烯复合材料, 使用线性往复摩擦磨损试验机对比三种复合材料的摩擦学性能. 结果表明 质量分数10%的氧化铝、高岭土能将聚四氟乙烯的磨损率降低约4个数量级, 而氧化硅仅能降低约3个数量级. 对金属对偶表面形成的转移膜的形貌和化学成分进行分析发现 氧化铝、高岭土/聚四氟乙烯在金属对偶面上形成了高度羧酸盐化的转移膜. 用密度泛函理论对三种填料表面上碳氟分子吸附过程进行模拟, 结果显示氧化铝、高岭土表面的路易斯酸性位点促进了碳氟分子的脱氟过程, 产生了更多的羧酸螯合物的中间产物; 氧化硅缺少路易斯酸性位点, 因此不能促进高度羧酸盐化的转移膜形成.     

Exhaled breath condensate: Determination of non-volatile compounds and their potential for clinical diagnosis and monitoring. A review

Exhaled breath condensate is a promising, non-invasive, diagnostic sample obtained by condensation of exhaled breath. Starting from a historical perspective of early attempts of breath testing towards the contemporary state-of-the-art breath analysis, this review article focuses mainly on the progress in determination of non-volatile compounds in exhaled breath condensate. The mechanisms by which the aerosols/droplets of non-volatile compounds are formed in the airways are discussed with methodological consequences for sampling. Dilution of respiratory droplets is a major problem for correct clinical interpretation of the measured data and there is an urgent need for standardization of EBC. This applies also for collection instrumentation and therefore various commercial and in-house built devices are described and compared with regard to their design, function and collection parameters. The analytical techniques and methods for determination of non-volatile compounds as potential markers of oxidative stress and lung inflammation are scrutinized with an emphasis on method suitability, sensitivity and appropriateness. The relevance of clinical findings for each group of possible non-volatile markers of selected pulmonary diseases and methodological recommendations with emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration that is essential for future development into a fully validated clinical diagnostic tool are given.

聚四氟乙烯对齿轮润滑成膜膏润滑性能的影响

作者以聚四氟乙烯(PTFE)为固体润滑剂填料对GM型齿轮润滑成膜膏进行了改进,并且研制出了两种新的成膜膏系列产品。经四球试验机、动静摩擦系数精密测定仪和SRV试验机评价的结果表明,添加PTFE的GM-2型成膜膏的承载能力和减磨性能都明显地比未添加的好;以PTFE为主要固体润滑剂填料的GM-3和MFC-1型两种润滑成膜膏也都具有良好的润滑性能,其中后者的性能与含PTFE的GM-2型成膜膏的接近。通过对摩擦轨迹的电子探针检测发现,PTFE在摩擦过程中于摩擦表面形成了转移膜,因而改善了润滑成膜膏的摩擦学性能。
