Application of Potassium Carbonate as Space Holder for Metal Injection Molding Process of Open Pore Copper Foam

Copper foam has recently being applied to replace aluminium as heat sink. In this study, copper foam was manufactured via metal injection molding technique. Copper feedstock were prepared comprising 0 wt.%, 30 wt.% and 40 wt.% of potassium carbonate into copper powder to produce open pore cell structure, which also mixed together with a binder system consisting palm stearin (PS), polyethylene (PE) and stearic acid (SA). The feedstock was then injection molded into tensile shape test piece prior to solvent extracted in heptane prior to sintering using tube furnace at 850^oC for 4 hours in nitrogen atmosphere. The sintered samples were immersed in warm water to dissolve the carbonates. Copper foam has successfully manufactured at 850^oC for 4 hours in nitrogen atmosphere followed by the dissolution process. The porosity value increased as the addition of potassium carbonate increased from 0 to 40 wt.% which given the highest value of 52.985% porosity and thermal conductivity of 520.46 W/m.K.     

Chemiluminescence Flow Injection Determination of Copper (II)

ABSTRACT

A sensitive and selective flow injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of copper over the range of 0.5-7.5 ng is described. The method is based on quenching effect of copper (II) on the chemiluminescent reaction of dichlorofluorescein and hydrogen peroxide in alkaline media. Method development includes optimization of reagent concentrations and flow conditions. The optimized method yielded a detection limit (3σ) of 0.2 ng. The method is simple, fast, selective and precise and was used for the determination of copper in blood sera.     

Changes in Silk Feedstock Rheology during Cocoon Construction: The Role of Calcium and Potassium Ions

Variation in silk feedstocks is a barrier both to our understanding of natural spinning and biomimetic endeavors. To address this, compositional changes are investigated in feedstock specimens from the domesticated silkworm (Bombyx mori). It is found that the feedstock viscosity decreased systematically by over two orders of magnitude during cocoon construction. Potential factors such as protein concentration, molecular weight, pH, or the presence of trehalose are excluded, whereas a clear correlation appear between viscosity and the relative concentrations of Ca²⁺ and K⁺ ions. It is expected that Ca²⁺ ions would favor “salt bridges” between acidic (Asp and Glu) amino acids, leading to an increased viscosity, whereas K⁺ ions would compete for these sites, thereby reducing viscosity. Thus, these findings suggest a simple, systematic yet sophisticated control of feedstock viscosity in the silkworm, which in turn can be applied to future industrial silk production.     

Comparison of the Rheological Behavior of Solutions and Formulated Oil-in-Water Emulsions Containing Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)

In this study, it was aimed to compare the rheological properties of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in aqueous solutions and their corresponding emulsions containing 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5% CMC in the aqueous phase. Samples with 0.05 and 0.1% CMC showed Newtonian behavior, but shear-thinning behavior was observed in CMC solutions and emulsions with increasing CMC concentrations to 0.25% and 0.5%. Rheological behavior of all samples were modeled by Power law (R ² = 0.986–197) and Casson models (R ² = 0.968–1). According to the Ostwald–de Waele model, the consistency index of all samples was increased and the flow behavior index decreased with increasing CMC concentration. Comparison of our data with four predicting models (Einstein, Larson, Pal, and Dougherty-Krieger equations) showed that the viscosity of continuous phase controls the viscosity of emulsions with high CMC concentrations and these models are not applicable for such situations. Addition of CMC increased the emulsion stability of O/W emulsions. This stability was increased with increasing CMC concentrations.

Thermal and Rheological Behavior of Collagen. Chitosan blends

Collagen:chitosan blends in 1:1 ratio were prepared and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal (DSC, TG) and rheological studies. Apparently each material maintains its behavior and addition of chitosan does not denature collagen fibers. The rheological behavior showed that adding chitosan to collagen causes a decrease of storage modulus (G’),viscous loss modulus (G”) and apparent viscosity when measured as a function of frequency. Both anionic and native collagen presented more solid-like behavior than fluid-like viscoelastic behavior. Collagen:chitosan blends exhibits a more fluid-like viscoelastic behavior. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

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.

Lewis-Base Adducts of Group 11 Metal(I) Compounds. LXXVI Structural Studies in the Copper(I) Halide : Norbornadiene System

The structural characterizations of some copper(I) halide (CuX) adducts with norbornadiene (nbd) are recorded. CuCl : nbd (1:1)₄ (a redetermination), (2:1)_2(|), are systems both based around Cu₄Cl₄ cubane-type cluster arrays. CuBr : nbd (7:3)_(|)( 0.5 MeOH), a complex polymer with 3-symmetry, is believed to be the complex previously described as an adduct of 2:1 stoichiometry. Attempts to obtain an iodide counterpart have resulted in the definition of an ephemeral adduct CuI : MeCN (3:2)_(|). 0.5 C₇H₈ in which, remarkably, the nbd is uncoordinated; the complex is a polymer, related to the [AgX(quinoline)]_(|) (X = Cl, Br) saddle polymer.     

Transition Metal Promoted Addition of Methanol to Cyanoguanidine. Molecular Structure and Properties of the Generated Copper(II) and Nickel(II) Complexes

The reaction of the Cu^II and Ni^II complexes of saccharin with dicyandiamide (cyanoguanidine, cnge) in methanol produces the addition of methanol to the nitrile moiety of this molecule. Furthermore, the product of the reaction coordinates the metal centers generating two new complexes containing saccharinate as the counter anion. The crystal structures of [Cu(cnge‐OCH₃)₂](sac)₂ and of [Ni(cnge‐OCH₃)₂](sac)₂·2H₂O (cnge‐OCH₃ = 1‐amidino‐O‐methylurea) were solved by single crystal X‐ray diffractometry. Both complexes crystallize in the triclinic space group and the metallic cations present a quite similar centrosymmetric planar conformation. The complexes were characterized by means of electronic and infrared spectroscopy and also their magnetic and thermal behavior was investigated.     

Synthesis and Solution Behavior Studies of a Bifunctional Fluorenyl Dioxotetraamine and Its Copper(II) Complex

The fluorenyl dioxotetraamine L⁴ was designed and prepared. The solution behavior of L⁴ and its interaction with the Cu^II ion were studied by pH potentiometric, fluorimetric and spectrophotometric titration. In the dioxane/water solution, it was found that the molecule L⁴ showed an “off‐on” or “on‐off” fluorescent response in the absence or presence of the Cu^II ion with the increase of the pH value. Moreover, influenced by the Cu^II ion, the fluorescence of the dioxotetraamine L⁴ can be almost quenched when the pH value was slightly higher than 4.0, which is rarely reported and useful to detect the Cu^II ion under acidic condition.

表面活性剂对氧化锰悬浮体系流变学振荡行为的影响

对介孔氧化锰的溶胶-凝胶法合成和用表面活性剂（脂肪醇聚氧乙烯醚, AEO_9)的模板合成过程中所得的悬浮体系的流变性质进行了对比研究。结果表明： 上述体系均具有触变性,且无论是否预剪切,其表观粘度均随时间作周期性振荡; 同时上述体系的储能模量G'和损耗模量G"亦具有周期性的振荡行为。但表面活性剂 AEO_9的引入使体系的触变性大为减弱,屈服值明显降低,凝胶结构强度减弱。同 时还发现引入AEO_9的模板合成过程中,不仅体系的表观粘度及G'大幅度下降,且 G'与G"的振荡周期显著增大,振幅亦明显减小。这说明体系中两亲分子与无机物存 在较强的相互作用,作者还对这些现象进行了讨论。     

Rheological Behavior and Scattering Studies of Acrylamide-Based Copolymer Solutions

Summary: In this paper the chemical structure of an acrylamide-N,N-dihexylacrylamide copolymer was established by IR and NMR. Static and dynamic light scattering in formamide were used in order to evaluate the polymer structural parameters, such as weight-average molecular weight (M_w), second virial coefficient (A₂), radius of gyration (R_G), the form factor P(q) and the hydrodynamic radius (R_H). Additionally to the classical characterization, those results indicated the presence of aggregation, showing that formamide is not a very good solvent, as stated in earlier investigations. The rheological behavior in aqueous solutions was evaluated as a function of the salt concentration. The solutions presented an important viscosity increase in the presence of NaCl and did not show any sensitivity to the presence of CaCl₂. This result is in favor of the oil recovery especially in high salinity reservoirs.     

Multivalent Complex Salts of Copper: Synthesis and X‐Ray Structural Analysis of [CuII(en)3][CuI4{(NNNPh)2C6H4}3] (en = ethylendiamine), an anionic Tris‐1,3‐bis(phenyltriazenide)benzene Complex of Tetrakis‐Copper(I)

An ethanolic solution of CuCl / ethylendiamine reacts with 1.3‐bis‐ (phenyltriazene)benzene in THF leading to the deprotonation of the bis triazene ligand to give orange crystals of [Cu^II(en)₃][Cu^I₄{(NNN‐Ph)₂C₆H₄}₃], an example of a rare complex salt of copper with mixed valence states. In the anion complex [Cu^I₄{(NNNPh)₂C₆H₄}₃]^2? the copper(I) ions are disposed linearly as single, bridged pairs in the two extremes of an axis, each of them presenting a trigonal bipyramidal alike coordination arrangement.     

Copper(II) coordination compounds with ferulic acid

The first two molecular structures of the ferulic acid (3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propenoic acid, C₁₀H₁₀O₄) coordination compounds are presented, namely, [Cu₂(C₁₀H₉O₄)₄(CH₃CN)₂] 1 and [Cu₂(C₁₀H₉O₄)₄(C₆H₆N₂O)₂]·4CH₃CN (C₆H₆N₂O = nicotinamide) 2. Both compounds were synthesised from the starting mixture of Cu₂O and CuCl upon copper oxidation in the acetonitrile solution. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 1 and 2 reveals the binuclear structure of the ‘paddle–wheel’ type for both complexes. 1 and 2 are unstable outside mother liquid due to loosely bound acetonitrile molecules. The final products of decomposition are [Cu₂(C₁₀H₉O₄)₄] 1a and [Cu₂(C₁₀H₉O₄)₄(C₆H₆N₂O)₂] 2a, which were characterized by several physico-chemical methods. The triplet X-band EPR spectra of 1a and 2a, showing signals B_Z1  15 mT, B₂  460 mT and B_Z2  580 mT, are in agreement with the expected data for the binuclear tetracarboxylate units, found in the structures of the parent complexes 1 and 2. Together with the room temperature magnetic susceptibility data, μ_eff/B.M. 1.40 (1a), 1.48 (2a), the EPR spectra analysis confirm the antiferromagnetic interaction in 1a and 2a. This is suggesting preservation and stability of the paddle–wheel structures in 1a and 2a.
