Physicochemical study of the compounds in the three-component system Sc2O3-SeO2-H2O AT 100°C

The selenites of scandium are used as new materials in producing instrument and semi-conductor engineering. Like tellurites, they can also be applied as materials for making lasers. The process of producing scandium selenides by the reduction of the corresponding selenites has the advantage of taking place at relatively low temperatures and high rate. In this respect, it is necessary to command methods of obtaining high-purity selenites and to obtain data concerning their thermal stability. A physicochemical study of the system Sc₂O₃-SeO₂-H₂O was carried out at 100°C in order to find solutions to these problems. The possible compounds in the system at a given temperature were obtained. The compounds were identified by the Schreinemakers' method and also by chemical and X-ray phase analyses. The mechanism of thermal decomposition was determined by means of a derivatograph. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermal decomposition of novel rare-earth selenites

TG and DTA have been carried out on new anhydrous rare-earth selenites R₂Se_aO_3+2a (a=3.5,4) in order to establish their stability. Decomposition occurs in three steps attributed to successive losses of SeO₂. The first process gives rise to other new group of selenites of composition R₂Se₃O₉, which crystallize in two different forms depending on the rare-earth element. The second process leads to isomorphous compounds R₂SeO₅. The final product of thermal degradation is R₂O₃. All products were characterized by chemical analysis and X-ray powder diffraction methods.

Syntheses, structural studies, and magnetic properties of divalent Cu and Co selenites with organic constituents

Six new divalent metal selenites have been synthesized by hydro-/solvothermal methods which leads to the incorporation of the organic template as a cation or a ligand. The structure of [H(2)pip][Cu(SeO(3))(2)] (1) (pip=piperazine) features 1D anionic chains of [Cu(SeO(3))(2)](2-) which are cross-linked by the template cations through hydrogen bonds into a 2D layer. In [Cu(C(3)H(4)N(2))(SeO(3))] (2) the organic template is coordinated to the copper(II) ion of the inorganic Cu(SeO(3)) layer. The isostructural compounds [H(2)en][M(HSeO(3))(2)Cl(2)] (en=ethylenediamine; M=Cu (3), Co (4)) contain layers of [MCl(2)(HSeO(3))(2)](2-) units (M=Cu, Co), which are cross-linked by the template cations via hydrogen bonds into a 3D network. The structure of [H(2)en][Cu(2)(SeO(3))(2)(HSeO(3))](2)H(2)O (5), consists of a pillared layered architecture in which the Cu(SeO(3)) layers are further interconnected by bridging hydrogen selenite groups (the pillar). The compound [H(2)pip][Cu(2)(Se(2)O(5))(3)] (6), which crystallizes as a 3D open framework represents the first organically templated metal diselenite. These new compounds are thermally stable up to at least 170 degrees C. All of the compounds exhibit fairly strong antiferromagnetic interactions. More interestingly, compounds 3 and 4 behave as a weak ferromagnets below the critical temperatures of T(c)=12 and 8 K, respectively, and both of them exhibit spin-flop phase transitions around 800+/-100 Oe.

Solid‐state thermal stability and degradation of a family of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide‐co‐hydroxymethylacrylamide) copolymers

There is widespread interest in responsive polymers that show cloud point behavior, but little attention is paid to their solid state thermal properties. To manufacture products based on such polymers, it may be necessary to subject them to high temperatures; hence, it is important to investigate their thermal behavior. In this study, we characterized a family of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide‐co‐hydroxymethylacrylamide) copolymers. Although poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) shows very high thermal stability (up to 360 °C), introduction of hydroxy side chains leads to a significant reduction in stability and new degradation processes become apparent. Thermogravimetric analysis and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) indicate that the first degradation process involves a chemical dehydration step (110–240 °C), supported by the nonreversing heat flow response in modulated temperature differential scanning calorimetry. Water loss scales with the fraction of hydroxy monomer in the copolymer. Glass transition temperatures (T_g) are higher than the temperatures causing dehydration; hence, these values relate to newly‐formed copolymer structures produced by controlled heating under nitrogen. Fourier transform‐Raman (FT‐Raman) spectra suggest that this transition involves imine formation. The T_g increases as the fraction of hydroxy groups in the original copolymer increases. Further heating leads to degradation and mass loss, and more complex changes in the FT‐IR spectra, consistent with formation of unsaturated species. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Enhancement of PUR/PIR foam thermal stability after addition of Zostera marina biomass component investigated via thermal analysis and isoconversional kinetics

In the present work, a thorough thermogravimetric (TG) analysis of bio-based polyurethane–polyisocyanurate (PUR–PIR) foams in both nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere is performed. A sustainable element of the foam is a biopolyol obtained via acid-catalyzed liquefaction of Zostera marina and Enteromorpha Algae biomass. Based on isoconversional analysis and apparent activation energies, several conclusions are obtained. In contradiction to the common understanding, biopolyol based foams exhibit enhanced stability in both oxidative atmosphere and in nitrogen compared to purely petrochemical foams. Relationships between thermal stability and structure of the foams are established. Enhanced stability of bio-based foams in oxygen is attributed to two factors. First is an increased cross-linking density due to higher hydroxyl number of biopolyol compared to petrochemical one. Possibly the presence of more amount of aromatic compounds in the structure of polyols that come from lignin or aromatic ketones contribute to further enhancement of thermal stability. Those results suggest that the studied biobased foams are prospective alternatives to standard petrochemical PUR foams.
