Pressure-sensitive paint in aerodynamic testing

Pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) is a relatively new aerodynamic measurement tool with the unique capability of providing a field measurement of pressure over a test surface. An introductory review of this technology is presented, which is confined to the application of the PSP method to aircraft development wind tunnel testing. This is at present the primary application area and thus the focus of research on the use of the method, and is the authors' own area of research. Described are PSP fundamentals, the various elements comprising PSP technology, and current limitations and considerations in applying this technology. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the present capability of the method. The few publications currently available on this subject in the open literature are also referenced.

基于摄动法的压敏储层非线性渗流问题研究

研究地层压力变化对渗流特征的影响,对低渗透储层、碳酸盐岩储层,或其他致密性储层的油气开采和储层改造都具有重要意义.在考虑渗流压力梯度平方项存在的前提下,运用摄动法求解的相关理论,将渗透率随压力的变化融入到渗流问题的求解过程中,有效地求解了该类压敏型储层的非线性渗流问题.结果表明,在实际应用中,尤其是在储层压敏性较弱的情况下,可考虑直接用0阶摄动解即可满足较好的计算精度;储层的压敏性越强,越适宜通过用摄动解的修正,来达到精确求解的目的.

以2,2′-联吡啶,三氯化钌(RuCl3),氯化铒(ErCl3)为原料合成了铒掺杂的探针分子。将探针分子加入到铕掺杂的硅溶胶基质中获得了铕、铒共掺杂的压敏漆样品。采用IR,SEM,EDS及荧光发射光谱对探针分子和压敏漆进行了表征。红外光谱结果表明,探针分子中联吡啶的结构没有被破坏。扫描电镜观察发现探针分子呈片状,EDS测试发现探针分子表面含有Er,Ru等元素。紫外吸收光谱表明压敏漆的最佳吸收波段位于200~500 nm处,选择410 nm作为激发光源,压敏漆在590 nm处有很强的荧光发射,并且随着空气压力的增大(即氧分子浓度的增加),压敏漆的荧光发射强度降低,说明压敏漆具有较好的氧猝灭特性。     

Robust and recoverable dual cross-linking networks in pressure-sensitive adhesives

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) demand the ability to simultaneously improve toughness and adhesion. However, these requirements of PSAs have remained a great challenge because robust and recoverable characteristics are usually contradictory properties of PSAs. Dual cross-linking networks developed by incorporating dynamic noncovalent bonds into chemical cross-linking networks have the potential to mitigate these requirements in a wide variety of applications including adhesives, hydrogels, and elastomers. Herein, a facile approach to achieve dual cross-linking networks of acrylic PSAs with excellent mechanical properties and high-adhesive performance that integrate physically cross-linked networks into chemically cross-linked networks is proposed. Diurethane acrylic monomer-pentaerythritol ethoxylate (DAM-PEEL) groups were introduced into the acrylic PSA system through photopolymerization. The PSA/DAM-PEEL dual cross-linking networks led to the development of the chemically cross-linked networks for both PSA and DAM via covalent bonds and the physically cross-linked networks between the amide groups of DAM and the hydroxyl groups of PEEL via hydrogen bonds. Consequently, the PSA/DAM-PEEL dual cross-linking networks were able to simultaneously improve the modulus and stretchability. This design strategy for developing dual cross-linking networks of materials could offer potential applications for various adhesive-related applications.     

Thermal degradation of butyl acrylate-methyl acrylate-acrylic acid-copolymers

The thermal degradation of copolymers based on butyl acrylate-methyl acrylate-acrylic acid used as acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives, especially for bonding of plasticizer containing materials, has been investigated using thermogravimetry and pyrolysis-gas chromatography at 250°C. It was observed that during the pyrolysis of butyl acrylate-methyl acrylate-acrylic acid copolymers unsaturated monomers as methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate and butyl methacrylate were formed. During the side-chain butyl acrylate-methyl-acrylate-acrylic acid-copolymer degradation the presence of methyl alcohol and butyl alcohol was observed.     

Synthesis and Evaluation of Adhesion Properties of Homogeneous and Core-Shell Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives

Summary: Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives (PSAs) are used for many applications (e.g. tapes and labels), and the market is still growing as new applications are regularly discovered. Emulsion polymerization is widely used to produce water-based PSAs. In this work, the influence of morphology, diameter and acrylic acid concentration in the particles on adhesion properties (peel, tack and shear) was studied. To do so, two series of homogeneous and core-shell latex particles of poly(butyl acrylate-2-ethyl-hexyl acrylate) with different concentrations of acrylic acid (0, 1, 3 and 5 wt%) and three different average diameters, were synthesized by means of emulsion polymerization techniques. The materials were characterized by dynamic light scattering, zeta potential and transmission electronic microscopy. The contents of acrylic acid in the polymer and dispersed medium were determined and the higher quantity of it was found within the particles. The best equilibrium between adhesion properties was found in the core-shell particles with 3 wt% of AA.     

The Effect of Polymer Microstructure and Thermal Post-Treatment on Latex-Based Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Performance

Summary: Butyl acrylate/acrylic acid/2-hydroxyl methacrylate (BA/AA/HEMA, weight ratio: 96/2/2) latexes were produced via starved seeded semi-batch emulsion polymerization. The microstructure of the latex polymers was controlled by varying the amount of chain transfer agent (1-dodecanethiol). The latexes were characterized for gel content, M_c (molecular weight between two adjacent cross-linking points), M_w (molecular weight of sol polymers) and M_e (molecular weight between entanglements). From these latexes, PSA films were cast, dried, conditioned and then thermally post-treated at 120 °C to react the carboxyl and hydroxyl groups from the AA and HEMA units. Tack, peel strength and shear strength of the PSA films were then measured. The thermal post-treatment was shown to be an effective way to improve latex-based PSA performance. The effectiveness of the post-treatment was observed to depend on the polymer microstructure (M_c relative to M_e relative to M_w) of the untreated latex-based PSAs and on the gel content.

Statistical copolymers of (±)2-ethylhexyl acrylate and 3-[3,3,3-trimethyl- 1,1-bis (trimethylsiloxy) disiloxanyl] propyl methacrylate were synthesized and the reactivity ratios and the Q and e values were calculated. The glass transition temperatures of the copolymers were in good agreement with the predictions of Fox's equation and Wood's formula. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
