Modeling Thermodynamics and Phase Equilibria for Aqueous Solutions of Trisodium Phosphate

A computational model is developed to calculate thermodynamic phase equilibria in alkaline solutions of trisodium phosphate up to 100°C. A variety of data are used, including isopiestic measurements, freezing point data, vapor pressure data at 100°C, heat capacities, heats of dilution, and solubility measurements. Pitzer's ion-interaction treatment is used to model electrolyte solutions and many unknown parameters are determined from existing data through nonlinear least-squares fitting. Phase equilibria are determined by minimization of total Gibbs energy using a modification of the code SOLGASMIX. Results calculated using the model accurately predict experimental data.     

炭黑填充聚苯乙烯熔体流变行为

研究了炭黑(CB)填充聚苯乙烯(PS)熔体的稳态和动态流变行为. CB/PS复合体系在CB体积分数φ=0.06时发生逾渗转变. 结果表明, 低应变区熔体模量降低主要归因于粒子-粒子及粒子-高分子间作用力的破坏, 高应变下模量的急剧下降则主要与高分子链间解缠结有关. 采用“两相”模型拟合线性动态流变行为, 发现应变放大因子A_f(φ)、填充相模量及松弛指数与温度有关. A_f(φ)~φ关系符合Guth方程和扩散控制的粒子簇聚集模型. “粒子相”形状参数与聚集体分维度均随温度升高而有所降低, 说明CB粒子聚集体因团聚而趋于各向同性, 应变放大效应减弱. “粒子相”特征模量G'_f1(φ)和G"_f0(φ)与φ关系满足标度律. 当φ > 0.06时, G'_f1(φ)和G"_f0(φ)及其标度指数均随温度升高而明显降低, 其G'_f1(φ)变化幅度略大于G"_f0(φ), 说明“粒子相”弹性与黏性组分具有不同的温度依赖性. 随着温度升高, 扩散控制的CB粒子团聚过程加快, 应变放大效应减弱.

VISCOSITY BEHAVIOR OF PS／TOLUENE SOLUTION IN DILUTE AND EXTREMELY DILUTE CONCENTRATION REGION

The influences of both the volume of PS/toluene solution in the Ubbelohde viscometer and the precision of the time measuring on the viscosity behavior in dilute and extremely dilute concentration region are investigated. It was found that the influence of the former can neglect, but that of the latter is so prominent that the data fluctuate bitterly and linearity of the curve of the reduced viscosity vs. concentration (ηsp/c-c) becomes too bad to obey the Huggins equation down to the extremely dilute region, despite the error of the flow times Δt≤0.2s, which is permitted by the conventional method of viscosity measurement. Through strict mathematical analyses, it was found that the error (E) of the reduced viscosity is in proportion and inverse propor tion to Δt and concentration c, respectively. So the less the concentration, the more the error is. Consequently, a lowest concentration limit cL corresponding to given experimental error may exist and it will be meaningless for further operation below CL because of the great fluctuation of the data. Therefore, it needs to seriously reconsider the application of the conventional method of Ubbelohde viscosity measurement in the extremely dilute polymer solution under traditional conditions because of the great influence of the experimental error.

Hydrostatic Pressure on Toroidal Interaction and Propeller Chirality of Hexaarylbenzenes: Explicit Solvent Effects on Differential Volumes in Methylcyclohexane and Hexane

A unique and effective interaction between the peripheral aromatic blades makes hexaarylbenzenes (HABs) attractive in fundamental research as well as for various applications such as molecular wires, sensors, and supramolecular assemblies. The chiroptical responses of HABs are susceptible to environmental factors such as solvent and temperature owing to the dynamic conformational transitions between the conformers. In this study, pressure dependence on the propeller chiral HABs in two different solvents was studied in detail. The effective differential volumes for two different equilibria were determined by quantitative analyses of CD spectra, affording very large differential volumes from the propeller to toroidal conformer (ΔV_T-C) of +43 and +42 cm³ mol⁻¹, for H2 and H6 , respectively, in methylcyclohexane. The value of H6 was further enhanced to +72 cm³ mol⁻¹ in hexane, the largest value for the typical unimolecular conformational change. Such a response of propeller chirality in HABs is expedient in designing more advanced piezo-sensitive materials.     

Effect of Concentration Gradient on the Morphology Development in Polymer Solutions Undergoing Thermally Induced Phase Separation

Anisotropic porous polymeric materials fabricated from the phase separation method via spinodal decomposition are used in various practical engineering applications. We studied the formation of anisotropic porous polymeric materials numerically, by imposing an initial linear concentration gradient across a model polymer solution. The initial concentration gradient is placed at three different regions of the polymer sample for comparison purposes. All the simulation results are in good agreement with published experimental observations, which are reported from the applications of porous polymeric membranes. The structure development shows that an anisotropic porous morphology forms when an initial linear concentration gradient is applied to the model polymer solution.

     

Thermodynamics of solution of proto- and mezoporphyrins in N,N-dimethylformamide

This paper describes the results of thermodynamic study of dissolution of proto- and mesoporphyrins in liquid N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at different temperatures. Enthalpies of solution and solubility of protoporphyrin dimethylester (PDE) and mesoporphyrin dimethylester (MDE) in DMF have been obtained from T = (298 to 318) K. Free energies, enthalpies, entropies and heat capacities of solution have been computed from the combination of enthalpic and solubility data via the Gibbs–Helmholtz equation. We have shown that for all blood porphyrins this approach reproduces both free energies of solution and solubility values for the physiological temperature range.     

Phase Behavior of Aqueous Biphasic Systems with Choline Alkanoate Ionic Liquids and Phosphate Solutions: The Influence of pH

Aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) composed of the choline alkanoate ionic liquids (ILs) choline acetate [Cho][OAc], choline propanoate [Cho][Pro], choline butyrate [Cho][But], and choline hexanoate [Cho][Hex], mixed with K₃PO₄ solutions at pH 7.2 and 14.5, were prepared and their phase diagrams were compared. The ability to form ABS with alkaline K₃PO₄ solutions decreased in the order [Cho][OAc] ≈ [Cho][Pro] > [Cho][But] > [Cho][Hex], while with neutral K₃PO₄ solutions, [Cho][OAc] could not form an ABS, and the other three ILs performed similarly. All of the biphasic regions of the ABS decreased with the increase in pH. ¹H-NMR data indicated anion exchange between phases in ABS at neutral pH. The ABS at neutral pH were evaluated to extract the triazine herbicides simazine, cyanazine, and atrazine, and the ABS formed by [Cho][Pro] and the pH 7.2 K₃PO₄ solution has shown extraction recoveries higher than 90%.     

粘度法研究高分子溶液行为的实验改进(Ⅱ)

高分子在粘度计毛细管管壁上的吸附不仅会导致毛细管有效管径减小，而且可以导致毛细管界面性质发生显著改变，具体表现为测定高分子溶液流过时间t之前和之后纯溶剂的流过时间t0和t0′与高分子溶液流过时间t对浓度作图外推到浓度为零时的值t0^*并不一致。不同温度时聚乙烯吡咯烷酮（PVP）水溶液粘度测定结果表明，当吸附讷发子显著改变了毛细管界面性质时，需要将高分子溶液粘度测定方法由t/t0′改为t/t0^*。经过改进的粘度测定方法不仅更加普适合理，而且更加简单有效。

The standard electrode potential of Ag-AgCI in the mixed solution have been determined from cell (A). The activity coefficients of HCl, γ_A, in the mixed solution system have been determined from cell (B). The results show that the activity coefficients of HCl in HCl-NaCl solutions still obeye Harned Rule. The standard transfer Gibbs free energies of HCl have calculated.

Effects of Temperature Raising Speed on the Growth of BN Crystals in Hydrothermal Solutions

Cubic boron nitride (cBN) and orthorhombic boron nitride (oBN) crystals have been prepared in hydrothermal solutions by reacting H3BO3 NaN3 P and H3BO3 NaN3 N2H4 respectively. The experimental results indicated that, if the temperature was increased rapidly, both the yield and perfectness of BN crystals became poor. On the contrast, the yield and perfectness of BN crystals can be improved very much by slowly increasing the temperature of the reaction mixture. The results of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) proved that the samples were composed of oBN and cBN.     

Thermodynamics of organic mixtures containing amines: V. Systems with pyridines

Binary mixtures containing pyridine (PY), or 2-methylpyridine (2MPY) or 3-methylpyridine (3MPY) or 4-methylpyridine (4MPY) and an organic solvent as benzene, toluene, alkane, or 1-alkanol are investigated in the framework of DISQUAC. The corresponding interaction parameters are reported. The model describes accurately a whole set of thermodynamic properties: vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE), liquid-liquid equilibria (LLE), solid-liquid equilibria (SLE), molar excess Gibbs energies (G^E), molar excess enthalpies, (H^E), molar excess heat capacities at constant pressure () and the concentration-concentration structure factor (S_CC(0)). It is remarkable that DISQUAC correctly predicts the W-shaped curve of the of the pyridine + n-hexadecane system. The model can be applied successfully to mixtures with strong positive or negative deviations from the Raoult's law. DISQUAC improves the theoretical results from UNIFAC (Dortmund version). The replacement of pyridine by a methylpyridine leads to a weakening of the amine-amine interactions, ascribed to the steric effect caused by the methyl group attached to the aromatic ring. This explains that for a given solvent (alkane, 1-alkanol) H^E(pyridine) > H^E(methylpyridine).     

A Simple Relation for the Concentration Dependence of Osmotic Pressure and Depletion Thickness in Polymer Solutions

We propose simple expressions and for the osmotic pressure Π and the depletion thickness δ as a function of the polymer concentration φ. Here, Π₀ and δ₀ correspond to the dilute limit, and φ_ex is an extrapolation concentration which is of the order of the overlap concentration φ_ov. The De Gennes exponent α describes the concentration dependence of the semidilute correlation length ; it is related to the Flory exponent ν through . The quantity φ_ex is experimentally accessible by extrapolating the semidilute limit towards Π = Π₀ or δ = δ₀. These expressions are exact in mean field, where the ratio φ_ex/φ_ov (0.49 for Π, 0.41 for δ) follows from established models. For excluded‐volume chains they describe simulation data excellently: in this case φ_ex/φ_ov is 0.69 for Π and again 0.41 for δ. We find also very good agreement with experimental data.

     

Influence of Phase Separation Behaviour on Toughness of Compression Moulded SBS Star Block Copolymer/Polystyrene Blends

The influence of homopolymer molecular weight and compression moulding on morphology formation and deformation behaviour of binary blends of polystyrene-polybutadiene based star block copolymer and polystyrene (PS) homopolymer was investigated. The samples used were a polystyrene-(polystyrene-co-polybutadiene)-polystyrene (S-S/B-S) star block copolymer and anionically prepared polystyrene (aPS). The techniques used were transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and uniaxial tensile testing. A wide range of segregation behaviour was observed depending on the ratio of the length of aPS chains relative to that of corresponding outer blocks of the block copolymer. For the first time, the formation of macrophase-separated ‘droplet-like’ morphology has been reported, which endows the block copolymer/polystyrene blends with higher toughness. The mechanical properties of blends are discussed in the light of micromechanical processes of deformation. The micromechanical mechanisms and their dependence with inter domain distance are similar to the mechanisms found in rubber network toughened systems.
