Tribochemistry of phenol and benzyl alcohol between YG8 self-mated interfaces

In this work, the tribological performance of mixed lubricant consisting of phenol and benzyl alcohol between YG8 self-mated interfaces was systematically investigated under 98 N and 1450 rpm. The results showed that with increasing concentration of phenol in the mixed lubricant, the friction coefficient initially decreases and then increases; however, anti-wear performance initially was enhanced and then weaken. As the concentration of phenol was 1.0 wt.%, the tribo-system exhibited the lowest friction coefficient and wear scar diameter. TEM, SEM and XPS techniques were employed to probe the possible tribological mechanism sliding in the mixed lubricant containing 1.0 wt.% of phenol. The phenol effectively slowed down the oxidation of the mixed lubricant, combination of friction-induced tungsten oxides and carbon quantum dots, assuring the tribo-system still in mixed lubrication condition, which made the tribo-system maintain low friction coefficient and wear.     

Design and optimization of a new self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system

To improve the dissolution rate of ibuprofen, a model poorly water soluble drug, self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) were developed. Various surfactants and oils were screened as candidates for SNEDDS on the basis of droplet size of the resulting emulsions. The influence of the constituent structure, concentration and the composition of SNEDDS formulations, and the emulsifier HLB value, on the properties of the resulting emulsions was systematically investigated. Several SNEDDS formulations were employed to study the relationship between the emulsion droplet size and the dissolution rate of ibuprofen. The dissolution rate was accelerated by decreasing the nanoemulsion droplet size, and was significantly faster than that from a conventional tablet. The optimal SNEDDS formulation had a mean nanoemulsion droplet diameters of 58 nm in phosphate buffer, pH 6.8 (simulated intestinal fluid), and released ibuprofen more than 95% within 30 min. Therefore, these novel SNEDDS carriers appear to be useful for controlling the release rate of poorly water soluble drugs.

<正>Trimethoxysilyl-functionalized PPEK(PKGS) films had been designed to serve as wear resistant coatings for silicon surfaces. These surface films were formed by a dip-coating technique applied to self-assembled monolayers(SAMs).The formation and wetting behavior of PKGS films were characterized by means of contact angle measurement.The friction coefficient of the film prepared is very low(about 0.1),and the anti-wear behavior is good,with a lack of failure after sliding over 1800 s.     

Tribological properties of graphene nanosheets as an additive in calcium grease

The addition of graphene nanosheets (GNSs) in lubricating grease could significantly reduce the interfacial friction and improve the load-bearing capacity of the parts. Therefore, it has been considered as having great potential as lubricant additives. In this study, we synthesized GNSs that are prepared by a modified Hummer method, and investigated the effect of GNS with different concentration (0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, and 4?wt%) on the tribological properties of the calcium grease. The friction and wear experiments were performed using a four-ball tribometer. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to examine the GNS and the friction mechanisms. Results indicate that the friction reduction ability and anti-wear property of the base grease can be improved with the addition of GNS. It was also found that the friction reduction decreases by 61%, and the wear scar diameter (WSD) decreases by 45%, and the extreme-pressure (EP) properties increased 60% at 3?wt% GNS. It is clear that the GNS in grease easily forms protective deposited films to prevent the rubbing surfaces from coming into direct contact, thereby improving the entire tribological behavior of the grease.     

Thermal performance evaluation of a nanofluid‐based flat‐plate solar collector

The thermal performance of a flat-plate solar collector (FPSC) is investigated experimentally and analytically. The studied nanofluid is SiO₂/deionized water with volumetric concentration up to 0.6% and nanoparticles diameter of 20–30 nm. The tests and also the modeling are performed based on ASHRAE standard and compared with each other to validate the developed model. The dynamic model is based on the energy balance in a control volume. The system of derived equations is solved by employing an implicit finite difference scheme. Moreover, the thermal conductivity and viscosity of SiO₂ nanofluid have been investigated thoroughly. The measurement findings indicate that silica nanoparticles, despite their low thermal conductivity, have a great potential for improving the thermal performance of FPSC. Analyzing the characteristic parameters of solar collector efficiency reveals that the effect of nanoparticles on the performance improvement is more pronounced at higher values of reduced temperature. The thermal efficiency, working fluid outlet temperature and also absorber plate temperature of the modeling have been confirmed with experimental verification. A satisfactory agreement has been achieved between the results. The maximum percentage of deviation for working fluid outlet temperature and collector absorber plate temperature is 0.7% and 3.7%, respectively.

     

Experimental Investigation of the Rheological Behavior of an Oil-Based Drilling Fluid with Rheology Modifier and Oil Wetter Additives

Drilling issues such as shale hydration, high-temperature tolerance, torque and drag are often resolved by applying an appropriate drilling fluid formulation. Oil-based drilling fluid (OBDF) formulations are usually composed of emulsifiers, lime, brine, viscosifier, fluid loss controller and weighting agent. These additives sometimes outperform in extended exposure to high pressure high temperature (HPHT) conditions encountered in deep wells, resulting in weighting material segregation, high fluid loss, poor rheology and poor emulsion stability. In this study, two additives, oil wetter and rheology modifier were incorporated into the OBDF and their performance was investigated by conducting rheology, fluid loss, zeta potential and emulsion stability tests before and after hot rolling at 16 h and 32 h. Extending the hot rolling period beyond what is commonly used in this type of experiment is necessary to ensure the fluid’s stability. It was found that HPHT hot rolling affected the properties of drilling fluids by decreasing the rheology parameters and emulsion stability with the increase in the hot rolling time to 32 h. Also, the fluid loss additive’s performance degraded as rolling temperature and time increased. Adding oil wetter and rheology modifier additives resulted in a slight loss of rheological profile after 32 h and maintained flat rheology profile. The emulsion stability was slightly decreased and stayed close to the recommended value (400 V). The fluid loss was controlled by optimizing the concentration of fluid loss additive and oil wetter. The presence of oil wetter improved the carrying capacity of drilling fluids and prevented the barite sag problem. The zeta potential test confirmed that the oil wetter converted the surface of barite from water to oil and improved its dispersion in the oil.     

General continuum boundary conditions for miscible binary fluids from molecular dynamics simulations

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to explore the flow behavior and diffusion of miscible fluids near solid surfaces. The solid produces deviations from bulk fluid behavior that decay over a distance of the order of the fluid correlation length. Atomistic results are mapped onto two types of continuum model: Mesoscopic models that follow this decay and conventional sharp interface boundary conditions for the stress and velocity. The atomistic results, and mesoscopic models derived from them, are consistent with the conventional Marangoni stress boundary condition. However, there are deviations from the conventional Navier boundary condition that states that the slip velocity between wall and fluid is proportional to the strain rate. A general slip boundary condition is derived from the mesoscopic model that contains additional terms associated with the Marangoni stress and diffusion, and is shown to describe the atomistic simulations. The additional terms lead to strong flows when there is a concentration gradient. The potential for using this effect to make a nanomotor or pump is evaluated.

Preparation of WS2 nanocomposites via mussel-inspired chemistry and their enhanced dispersion stability and tribological performance in polyalkylene glycol

A novel biomimetic surface modification method utilizing mussel-inspired chemistry was used to prepare tungsten disulfide (WS₂) nanocomposites, which enhanced the dispersion stability and tribological performance of WS₂ in polyalkylene glycol (PAG). Herein, WS₂-polydopamine-methoxypolyethylene glycol amine (WS₂-PDA-MPGA) was first synthesized via mussel-inspired chemistry and used as a lubricant additive in PAG. After modification, the dispersion stability of WS₂ nanosheets in PAG was obviously improved. Moreover, the tribological performance of WS₂-PDA-MPGA in PAG at high temperature was evaluated by the oscillating reciprocating tribometer. Compared to pure PAG, the lubricant composition containing WS₂-PDA-MPGA exhibited excellent performance in friction reduction and anti-wear properties at high temperature. The optimal tribological performance could be obtained when the percentage of additives was 0.9?wt%. The tribological results indicate that WS₂-PDA-MPGA, with its good dispersion stability, has better friction reduction and anti-wear properties than does WS₂ in PAG base oil. The chemical composition analysis of the wear surface indicated that a stable protective film had been formed by physical adsorption and tribo-chemical reactions. Therefore, the surface modification strategy is an effective way to improve the dispersion stability of WS₂ in PAG, which can be expanded application of WS₂ in the tribological field.

Toward Sustainable Metal-Iodine Batteries: Materials,Electrochemistry and Design Strategies

Due to the natural abundance of iodine, cost-effective, and sustainability, metal-iodine batteries are competitive for the next-generation energy storage systems with high energy density, and large power density. However, the inherent properties of iodine such as electronic insulation and shuttle behavior of soluble iodine species affect negatively rate performance, cyclability, and self-discharge behavior of metal-iodine batteries, while the dendrite growth and metal corrosion on the anode side brings potential safety hazards and inferior durability. These problems of metal-iodine system still exist and need to be solved urgently. Herein, we summarize the research progress of metal-iodine batteries in the past decades. Firstly, the classification, design strategy and reaction mechanism of iodine electrode are briefly outlined. Secondly, the current development and protection strategy of conventional metal anodes in metal-iodine batteries are highlighted, and some potential anode materials and their design strategies are proposed. Thirdly, the key electrochemical parameters of state-of-art metal-iodine batteries are compared and analyzed to solve critical issues for realizing next-generation iodine-based energy storage systems. Therefore, the aim of this review is to promote the development of metal-iodine batteries and provide guidelines for their design.     

Experimental investigation of nanofluid stability on thermal performance and flow regimes in pulsating heat pipe

Pulsating heat pipe (PHP) is a type of wickless heat pipe that has a simple structure and an outstanding thermal performance. Nanofluid is a type of fluid in which nanoparticles are dispersed in a base fluid and have generally a better thermal conductivity in comparison with its base fluid. In this article, the performance of a nanofluid PHP is investigated. Graphene/water nanofluid with a concentration of 1 mg mL^?1 and TiO₂ (titania)/water nanofluid with a concentration of 10 mg mL^?1 are used as the working fluids. To simultaneously investigate the thermal performance and flow regimes in the PHP, a one-turn copper PHP with a Pyrex glass attached to its adiabatic section is used. A one-turn Pyrex PHP is also used to fully visualize flow patterns in the PHP. Our results show that the material for the fabrication of a PHP and temperature of the working fluid are the most important parameters that affect the stability of a nanofluid in the PHP. The more stable nanofluid keeps its stability in the cupper PHP, while the less stable nanofluid starts to aggregate right after the injection to the cupper PHP. The more stable nanofluid has a better thermal performance than water, while the less stable nanofluid has a worse thermal performance than water. In the case of flow regimes, no significant differences are observed between the nanofluid PHP and the water PHP which is different from the previous observations. These results can help researchers to choose the best working fluid for PHPs.

     

Investigation Factors Affecting Cutting Oil Formulations Prepared by Emulsifiers Based on Linear Alkyl Benzene and Oleic Acid‐Maleic Anhydride Esters

Seven emulsifiers based on linear alkyl benzene and five others based on oleic acid maleic anhydride esters were prepared previously (Al‐Sabagh, A.M., Maysour, N.E., Nasser, N.M., and Srour, M.R. (2006) J. Dispersion Sci. Technol., 27 (2): 239–250). The prepared emulsifier package contains four components: synthesized surfactant, oleic acid, diethanol amine, and solvents. These four components and the base paraffin oil were used in all prepared different soluble oil formulations. The different percentages of these components are incorporated to optimize the stability of emulsifier systems. The evaluation was drawn in five factors: oil stability, emulsion stability, pH, corrosion inhibition, and extreme pressure performance tests. The obtained results shows that the formulations which prepared by ABPG(4)S and ABE(9)S exhibited a good performance results. The cutting oil formulations, which based on dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid pronounced anticorrosion properties (0/0–0) comparing with the formulations, which based on maleic anhydride esters (0/1–1). The wear scar diameter performance test was carried out for all the prepared cutting oil formulations. The obtained data shows that the ABE(9)S, ABPE(4)S and SABS exhibited scar diameters; 0.71, 0.74, and 0.75 mm, respectively. Meanwhile, the scar diameter of the currently used cutting formulation exhibited 0.76 mm. This means that these formulations can be used at high extreme pressure machines.

Solid-phase extraction and subsequent capillary zone electrophoresis of trace metal ions as soluble dithiocarbamate complexes

Summary Modest detectability in capillary electrophoresis is often a challenge for the determination of trace-level metal ions. This limitation has been addressed by the development of an enrichment procedure combining the formation of metal bis(carboxymethyl)dithiocarbamate complexes, water soluble at basic pH and sparingly soluble in an acidic environment, and solidphase extraction. Appropriate conditions were developed for a solid-phase extraction step well compatible with subsequent capillary electrophoretic separation in terms of the composition of electrophoresis and eluting buffers. At pH below 4 when the ligand carboxyl groups are non-ionized, metal ion complexes have no apparent charge and are efficiently retained on a conventional C₁₆ cartridge. Application of a basic eluent, a borate buffer at pH9, causes the complexes to be ionized and eluted rapidly and quantitatively. Parameters affecting the retention/recovery behavior, such as the pH and ligand concentration of the loading solution, flow-rate, eluting buffer pH and concentration, etc, were examined to attain the best possible enrichment factors for trace metal ions. As a result, an increase in sensitivity over two orders of magnitude was gained that permitted lowering the detection limits for copper(II), lead(II), cadmium(II), nickel(II), and mercury(II) down to a low-μg L⁻¹ level.

Quantitative aspects of directly coupled supercritical fluid extraction–capillary gas chromatography with a conventional split/splitless injector as interface

The quantitative aspects of on-line supercritical fluid extractioncapillary gas chromatography (SFE-GC) with a split/splitless injector as interface were investigated. Special attention was paid to the discrimination behavior and the reproducibility of the split/splitless interface. A simple experimental set-up is proposed that allows accurate quantitation in on-line SFE-split GC. The results obtained in on-line SFE-GC compare favorably with those from conventional GC with split injection. Discrimination was found to be absent when working at sufficiently high interface temperatures. Finally, the effects of the carbon dioxide flow rate, interface temperature and split ratio on both discrimination and reproducibility were studied.     

Electro-switchable surfaces for heavy metal waste treatment: Study of polyacrylic acid films grafted on gold surfaces

This paper focuses on using electrochemical-pH-switchable polymer films as active surfaces for heavy metal waste treatment. Polyacrylic acid (PAA) was grafted at open air and room temperature on gold substrates. As a broad-range chelating material, PAA can capture heavy metal ions at low concentration. The release of the metal ions from the grafted-PAA film was obtained under electro-induced-acidification by applying an anodic potential at the electrode to promote a localized water electrolysis. Such electrochemical-switchable films can be part of a secondary step-treatment after conventional ion exchange process or precipitation for treatment of aqueous effluents in order to reach very low concentration in heavy metal ions without production of secondary effluents.
