Investigation of structural,morphological and dynamic mechanical properties of PANI filled Nylon 11

Nylon 11 samples were filled with conducting polymer, polyaniline (PANI) of two different concentration (1% and 5% w/w) each. The samples in the form of disc containing above concentration were obtained by hot press molding. The structural properties have been investigated using density measurements, wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The morphology of pure and filled samples has been studied using scanning electron microscopy. Glass transition (T_g) temperature was determined using dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer (DMTA). The result shows that there is slight crystal modification due to addition of fillers and this effect reduced the crystallinity marginally.     

Self-Reinforced High-Density Polyethylene Prepared by Low Frequency Vibration-Assisted Injection Molding. II: Microstructure Investigation

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) were employed to study the microstructure of self-reinforced high-density polyethylene (HDPE) prepared by conventional injection molding (CIM) and a low frequency vibration-assisted injection molding (VAIM). SEM micrographs following permanganic etching showed the self-reinforcement of HDPE is mainly due to the existence of shish-kebab morphology within the core region for VAIM-processed HDPE samples. Pronounced molecular alignment was identified by the WAXD data. An approximate 9% increase in the crystallinity was confirmed by DSC. Both preferred molecular orientation and increased crystallinity serve to yield stronger VAIM-processed injection moldings.

Influence of Mixing Technique on Microstructure and Impact Properties of Isotactic Polypropylene/ Poly(Cis-Butadiene) Rubber Blends

Isotactic polypropylene/poly(cis-butadiene) rubber (iPP/PcBR vol%: 80/20) blends were prepared by melt mixing with various mixing rotation speeds. The effect of mixing technique on microstructure and impact property of blends was studied. Phase structure of the blends was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). All of the blends had a heterogeneous morphology. The spherical particles attributed to the PcBR-rich phase were uniformly dispersed in the continuous iPP matrix. With increase of the mixing rotation speed, the dispersed phase particle's diameter distribution became broader and the average diameter of the separated particles increased. The spherulitic morphology of the blends was observed by small angle light scattering (SALS). Higher mixing rotation speed led to a more imperfect spherulitic morphology and smaller spherulites. Crystalline structure of the blends was measured by wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The introduction of 20 vol% PcBR induced the formation of iPPβ crystals. Higher rotation speed led to a decrease in microcrystal dimensions. However, the addition of PcBR and the increase of mixing rotation speed did not affect the interplanar distance. The long period values were the same within experimental error as PcBR was added or the mixing rotation speed quickened. The normalized relative degree of crystallinity of the blends slightly increased under lower rotation speeds (30 and 45 rpm) and decreased under higher rotation speeds. The notched Izod impact strength of the blends was enhanced as a result of the increase of mixing rotation speed.     

The Preparation and Study on Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polypropylene Gel‐spun Fibers

A novel polypropylene (PP) fiber was prepared by using gel spinning/crystallization from dilute solutions of ultrahigh molecular weight isotactic polypropylene (i‐UHMWPP), and subsequently drawing at various temperatures. The influence of drawing temperature on the properties of the resulted fibers was investigated. We found that the draw‐ability and mechanical as well as crystallization properties of the fibers obtained were dramatically improved with increasing drawing temperature. When the drawing temperature is below the α‐crystal relaxation temperature of PP, which was measured by wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) analysis as 100–120°C, the fibers are characterized by lower crystallinity and smaller crystals with less perfection, resulting in brittle fracture and subsequently poor mechanical durability. With drawing at temperatures above the α‐crystal relaxation temperature of PP, a novel UHMWPP fiber with Young's modulus of 27 GPa and tensile strength of 1.3 GPa was obtained. Higher crystallinity and larger crystals with better perfection and orientation were observed in this fiber.     

Depth dependence of angular dips: Measurements and calculations for H+ and D+ in Si and Ge

The variation of shape of angular dips with penetration depth has been investigated by the backscattering technique for 0.3 to 1.5 MeV protons and deuterons impinging on Si and Ge single crystals at different temperatures.

Since the depth dependence of the angular dips at small depths is unknown the comparison between the experimental critical angle ψ _1/2 determined at non zero penetration and the theoretical values obtained at zero depth is ambiguous.

Yield profiles vs. penetration depth have thus been calculated accounting for the nuclear and electronic reduced multiple scattering.

The obtained results justify quantitatively both the magnitude of the experimental data and their dependence on the target temperature, ion energy and penetration depth.

The disagreement previously reported between the figures calculated at zero depth and the extrapolated experimental values results from the strong variation ψ_1/2 of near the crystal surface.     

Morphologies and Mechanical Properties of High-Density Polyethylene Induced by the Addition of Small Amounts of Both Low- and High-Molecular-Weight Polyolefin under Shear Stress Applied by Dynamic Packing Injection Molding

This paper focuses on the mechanical properties and crystal morphology of a self-reinforced high-density polyethylene 5000S (HDPE 5000S) by simultaneously blending with 9 wt% high-molecular-weight polyethylene (HMWPE) and 9 wt% low-molecular-weight polyethylene (LMWPE) (A9) under the shear stress field which was engendered by a self-made dynamic packing injection molding (DPIM) machine. The results of mechanical properties, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy characterization were as follows: (1) The tensile strength of the dynamic samples increased to 112.1 MPa, 4.85 times as much as that of static packing injection molding (SPIM) samples (23.1 MPa), as a result of realizing polyethylene's self-enhancement; (2) Shish-kebab structure was found in the dynamic samples; (3) The crystallinity of the DPIM A9 sample reached 68.6%, on increase by 18.7% compared with that of the SPIM sample. The formation of the shish-kebab structure and enhancement of mechanical properties are explained.     

Refractive index, birefringence, third-order non-linearity and piezoelectric resonance studies of L-lysine monohydrochloride dihydrate single crystals

The principal refractive indices of L-lysine monohydrochloride dihydrate (L-LMHCl) single crystal for different wavelengths were measured by minimum deviation method at room temperature. The experimental values of refractive indices fit well with the theoretical Cauchy's equations. The birefringence and the crossing angle between the optical axes were calculated. The parameters of Sellmeier's single term dispersion equation were determined by least square method. A simple interferometric technique was used to observe the interference patterns along the optic plane and to qualitatively analyze the optical homogeneity of the grown crystal. The nonlinear refractive index (n₂) and nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) were also determined using Z-scan technique. The piezoelectric resonance in dielectric dispersions was observed at room temperature.     

电子束辐照剂量对PAN/PEO交联度的影响

对PAN/PEO凝胶(5%PAN,5%PEO)在1.0 MeV电子束下进行了不同剂量的辐照。红外光谱测量表明,PAN/PEO凝胶辐照后发生了化学交联。分析结果指出,PAN/PEO的凝胶分数随着辐照剂量的增加而不断增加;其凝胶分数增长率的变化可以分为3个阶段,即快速增加阶段(0~39kGy)、下降阶段(39~130 kGy)和稳定阶段(130 kGy)。拟合发现,引入材料刚性参数β的半经验修正方程与未考虑材料刚性的Char1esby-Pinner方程相比,更符合实际测量值(对于该配比PAN/PEO,β为0.166)。交联度-辐照剂量曲线显示,交联度随辐照剂量的增加而增加,为设计新型能功能材料中所需的固定交联度的PAN/PEO凝胶提供了辐照剂量参考值。

Studies on solution-grown crystals of polyethylene terephthalate and some copolyesters. II. Physical properties of the solution-grown crystals add the hydrolyzed crystals

The viscoeiastic properties and the wide-line NMR spectra of solution-grown crystals and hydrolyzed crystals of polyethylene terephthalate and some copolyesters were measured. A new NMR narrowing and new viscoelastic absorption were observed at temperatures higher than that of the primary dispersion of the solution-grown crystals for all polymers cited above. It was clarified from the thermal expansion curve of the crystal lattice, as determined by X-ray diffraction, and from the crystallinity dependence of the absorption intensities that the new dispersion is caused by molecular motion in the crystalline region. The primary dispersion of the hydrolyzed crystals could scarcely be observed and only the narrowing corresponding to the crystalline dispersion was observed. This suggests that the loop region of the lamellar crystals was removed and the “pure” crystal was obtained.

Automatically Smoothing the Spectroscopic Data by Cubic B-Spline Basis Functions

In the present paper, a new criterion is derived to obtain the optimum fitting curve while using Cubic B-spline basis functions to remove the statistical noise in the spectroscopic data. In this criterion, firstly, smoothed fitting curves using Cubic B-spline basis functions are selected with the increasing knot number. Then, the best fitting curves are selected according to the value of the minimum residual sum of squares (RSS) of two adjacent fitting curves. In the case of more than one best fitting curves, the authors use Reinsch’s first condition to find a better one. The minimum residual sum of squares (RSS) of fitting curve with noisy data is not recommended as the criterion to determine the best fitting curve, because this value decreases to zero as the number of selected channels increases and the minimum value gives no smoothing effect. Compared with Reinsch’s method, the derived criterion is simple and enables the smoothing conditions to be determined automatically without any initial input parameter. With the derived criterion, the satisfactory result was obtained for the experimental spectroscopic data to remove the statistical noise using Cubic B-spline basis functions.     

Streuung von 25 keV-Elektronen an Gasen

The angular distribution of 25 kev electrons scattered elastically and inelastically by molecular hydrogen has been measured in the angular range 7·10^?4≦?≦4,3·10^?2. By the separation of the inelastically scattered electrons observation of deviations from the Debye Ehrenfest theory of the electron diffraction by molecules at small angles is possible. These deviations are due to the alteration of the electron density distribution of the hydrogen atoms induced by the bonding. The energy loss spectra at different scattering angles (energy resolution ≈1 ev) shows a strong peak atΔE=12,6 ev. At larger angles forΔE>15 ev a continuum appears. That part of the inelastic processes which leads to ionization of the molecule is raising with increasing scattering angle. Normalization of the experimental values to the theoretical elastic differential cross section enables comparison of the angular distribution of the 12,6 ev energy loss with the distribution calculated byRoscoe. The shape of the experimental curve is in fairly good agreement with the calculated one but the experimental values at small angles are 20–30% higher. For zero angle the energy loss spectrum is taken with better resolution (≈0,04 ev). It shows vibrational states of the Lyman and Werner band and higher terms. The probability of the excitation of some vibrational states of the Werner band (square of the overlapp integral) calculated here is inspite of the required approximations in excellent agreement with the measurement, while Hutchisson's result fails for the Lyman band.     

Effect of crosslinking on the low-temperature relaxation behavior of polyethylene

The dynamic mechanical properties of polyethylene crosslinked by chemical methods and by electron irradiation were determined from 77°K to 250°K on an acoustic spectrometer at a frequency of approximately 50 Hz. Parallel stress-strain, swelling, and x-ray scattering experiments were also carried out to determine the degree of crosslinking and crystallinity. It is found that the effect of chemical crosslinking is to suppress the loss intensity of the γ relaxation in polyethylene while preserving the symmetrical shape of the loss curve without changing the temperature position. The effect of radiation crosslinking, however, also changes the symmetrical nature of the curves. Possible mechanisms of these observed changes are discussed.     

软X射线Mo/Si多层膜反射率拟合分析

由于多层膜的表界面粗糙度和材料之间的相互扩散等因素，导致多层膜的实际反射率小于理论计算的反射率，因此，多层膜结构参量的确定对镀膜工艺参量的标定具有重要意义。由于描述单个非理想粗糙界面散射的Stearns法适用于软X射线短波段区域，采用它的数学模型来描述软X射线多层膜的粗糙度，利用最小二乘法曲线拟合法对同步辐射测得的Mo／Si多层膜的反射率曲线进行拟合，得到了非常好的拟合结果，从而确定了多层膜结构参量，同时分析了多层膜周期厚度，厚度比率，界面宽度以及仪器光谱分辨率对多层膜反射特性的影响，这些工作都为镀膜工艺改进提供了一定的理论依据。     

Effect of the four-sheet Fermi surface on magnetoresistivity of MgB2

Recent experimental data of anisotropic magnetoresistivity measured in MgB₂ films have shown an intriguing behaviour: the angular dependence of magnetoresistivity changes dramatically with temperature and disorder. In order to explain such phenomenology, in this work, we extend our previous analyses on multiband transverse magnetoresistivity in magnesium diboride, by calculating its analytic expression, assuming a constant anisotropic Fermi surface mass tensor. The calculation is done for arbitrary orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the crystalline axes and for the current density either perpendicular or parallel to the magnetic field. This approach allows to extract quite univocally the values of the scattering times in the σ- and π-bands by fitting experimental data with a simple analytic expression. We also extend the analysis to the magnetoresistivity of polycrystalline samples, with an arbitrary angle between the current density and the magnetic field, taking into account the anisotropy of each randomly oriented grain. Thereby, we propose magnetoresistivity as a very powerful characterization tool to explore the effect of disorder by irradiation or selective doping as well as of phonon scattering in each one of the two types of bands, in single crystals and polycrystalline samples, which is a crucial issue in the study of magnesium diboride.
