KIT-6负载CeO2催化CO2和甲醇合成碳酸二甲酯

采用不同老化温度(80、100、120和150℃)合成了一系列KIT-6载体,并通过浸渍法制备了相应的CeO_2/KIT-6催化剂。结合X射线衍射、N_2物理吸附、NH_3程序升温脱附、CO_2程序升温脱附、透射电子显微镜、傅里叶变换红外光谱和X射线光电子能谱等表征结果,详细考察了老化温度对KIT-6结构以及CeO_2/KIT-6催化剂直接催化CO_2和甲醇合成碳酸二甲酯(DMC)反应活性的影响。结果表明,不同老化温度下制备的KIT-6均保持其独特的三维孔道结构。随着老化温度升高,KIT-6比表面积先增大后减小,当老化温度为100℃时,KIT-6比表面积达到最大(683 m~2·g~(-1))。KIT-6较高的比表面积有利于提高CeO_2分散度,进而提高暴露的活性位点数量,催化活性随催化剂表面中等碱/酸性吸附位数量和Ce~(3+)含量的增加而逐渐提高。其中,CeO_2/100-KIT-6催化剂中CeO_2颗粒尺寸最小(5.9 nm),暴露的活性位数量最高,催化活性最佳。随后,考察了反应温度和压力对CeO_2/100-KIT-6催化活性的影响。随着反应温度提高,催化活性先升高后降低,当反应温度为140℃时,催化活性最高;且催化活性随反应压力的提高而逐渐增加。在反应温度为140℃、压力为6.8 MPa条件下,催化剂经6次循环后,DMC收率由15 mmol·g_(CeO_2)~(-1)逐渐降低至2.8 mmol·g_(CeO_2)~(-1),原因归结为反应过程中CeO_2纳米颗粒发生团聚,使暴露出的活性位数量减少。

Preparation of microcellular polypropylene/polystyrene blend foams with tunable cell structure

By using supercritical carbon dioxide (sc‐CO₂) as the physical foaming agent, microcellular foaming was carried out in a batch process from a wide range of immiscible polypropylene/polystyrene (PP/PS) blends with 10–70 wt% PS. The blends were prepared via melt processing in a twin‐screw extruder. The cell structure, cell size, and cell density of foamed PP/PS blends were investigated and explained by combining the blend phase morphology and morphological parameters with the foaming principle. It was demonstrated that all PP/PS blends exhibit much dramatically improved foamability than the PP, and significantly decreased cell size and obviously increased cell density than the PS. Moreover, the cell structure can be tunable via changing the blend composition. Foamed PP/PS blends with up to 30 wt% PS exhibit a closed‐cell structure. Among them, foamed PP/PS 90:10 and 80:20 blends have very small mean cell diameter (0.4 and 0.7 µm) and high cell density (8.3 × 10¹¹ and 6.4 × 10¹¹ cells/cm³). Both of blends exhibit nonuniform cell structure, in which most of small cells spread as “a string of beads.” Foamed PP/PS 70:30 blend shows the most uniform cell structure. Increase in the PS content to 50 wt% and especially 70 wt% transforms it to an irregular open‐cell structure. The cell structure of foamed PP/PS blends is strongly related to the blend phase morphology and the solubility of CO₂ in PP more than that in PS, which makes the PP serve as a CO₂ reservoir.

Statistical and experimental investigation on low density microcellular foaming of PLA-TPU/cellulose nano-fiber bio-nanocomposites

This study dedicates to foaming of biocompatible blends of polylactic acid and thermoplastic polyurethane reinforced with bio-degradable cellulose nanofibers. This research primarily was associated with fabrication of PLA-TPU nanocomposites using a low weight fraction of cellulose nanofibers as a biodegradable reinforcement. Microstructural and mechanical properties of fabricated nanocomposites were examined and diffractometry was utilized to verify formation of percolated nanocomposites. Microcellular foaming was then performed with CO₂ as a blowing agent. Central composite design was applied in designing the experiments to evaluate the effects of main operating variables consisting of saturation pressure and time, heating time and foaming temperature. The results demonstrated that high saturation pressure and time promoted low cell diameters (below 5 μm) and high cell densities (above 10⁹ cell/cm³) due to the grown degree of crystallinity and higher PLA-TPU miscibility. Accordingly, adding TPU and CNF to the matrix create high crystalline foamed samples decorated with low bulk density.     

In situ preparation of cross‐linked polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) blend foams with a bimodal cellular structure

In situ preparation of a cross‐linked poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) blend and its foaming were investigated for creating a bimodal cellular structure in the foam. Methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer was dissolved in PS under supercritical CO₂ at a temperature of 60 °C and a pressure of 8 MPa, and the polymerization of MMA was conducted at 100 °C and 8 MPa CO₂, with a cross‐linking agent in PS. The blend was successively foamed by depressurizing the CO₂. CO₂ played the roles of plasticizing the PS and enhancing the monomer dispersion in PS during the sorption process and as a physical blowing agent in the foaming process. The cross‐linking agent was used for controlling the elasticity of polymerized PMMA domains and differentiating their elasticity from that of the PS matrix. The difference in elasticity delayed the bubble nucleation in the PMMA domains from that in the PS and made the cell size bimodal distribution, in which the smaller cells ranging from 10 to 30 µm in diameter were located in the wall of large cells of 200–400 µm in diameter. The effects of the initial MMA content, the concentration of cross‐linking agent, and the depressurization rate on the bimodal cell structure and bulk foam density were investigated.

Fabrication of open‐porous PCL/PLA tissue engineering scaffolds and the relationship of foaming process,morphology, and mechanical behavior

Tissue engineering scaffolds should provide a suitable porous structure and proper mechanical strength, which is beneficial for the delivery of growth factor and regulation of cells. In this study, the open‐porous polycaprolactone (PCL)/poly (lactic acid) (PLA) tissue engineering scaffolds with suitable porous scale were fabricated using different ratios of PCL/PLA blends. At the same time, the relationship of foaming process, morphology, and mechanical behavior in the optimized batch microcellular foaming process were studied based on the single‐factor experiment method. The porous structures and mechanical strength of the scaffolds were optimized by adjusting foaming parameters, including the temperature, pressure, and CO₂ dissolution time. The results indicated that the foaming parameters influence the cell morphology, further determine the mechanical behavior of PCL/PLA blends. When the PCL content is high, with the increase of temperature and time, the cell diameter and the elastic modulus increased, and the tensile strength and elastic modulus increased with the increase of the average cell size, and decreased as the increase of the cell density. While when the PLA content was high, the cell diameter showed the same trend, and the tensile strength and elastic modulus were higher, and the elongation at break was lower, and tensile strength and elastic modulus decreased with the increase of the average cell size and increased with the increase of cell density. This work successfully fabricated optimized porous PCL/PLA scaffolds with excellent suitable mechanical properties, pore sizes, and high interconnectivity, indicating the effectiveness of modulating the batch foaming process parameters.     

低含量聚乳酸对微孔发泡聚丁二酸丁二醇酯泡孔结构的改善

Biodegradable Foaming Material of Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT)/Poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC)

A biodegradable blend foaming material of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT)/poly(propylene carbonate)(PPC)was successfully prepared by chemical foaming agent and screw extrusion method.First,PBAT was modified by bis(tert-butyl dioxy isopropyl)benzene(BIBP)for chain extension,and then the extended PBAT(E-PBAT)was foamed with PPC using a twin(single)screw extruder.By analyzing the properties of the blends,we found that Young’s modulus increased from 58.8 MPa of E-PBAT to 244.7 MPa of E-PBAT/PPC 50/50.The viscosity of the polymer has a critical influence on the formation of cells.Compared with neat PBAT(N-PBAT),the viscosity of E-PBAT increased by 3396 Pa·s and E-PBAT/PPC 50/50 increased by 8836 Pa·s.Meanwhile,the dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA)results showed that the storage modulus(E’)at room temperature increased from 538 MPa to 1650 MPa.The various phase morphologies(“sea-island”,“quasi-co-continuous”and“cocontinuous”)and crystallinity of the blends affected the spread velocity of gas and further affected the foaming morphology in E-PBAT/PPC foam.Therefore,through the analysis of phase morphology and foaming mechanism,we concluded that the E-PBAT/PPC 70/30 component has both excellent strength and the best foaming performance.     

Photo-Switchable Aggregation-Induced Emission of Bisthienylethene-Dipyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole Triad

A bisthienylethene-dipyrimido[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazole (BTE-2PBT) triad has been designed and synthesized based on our recent discovery of PBTs as atypical propeller-shaped novel AIEgens. The triad not only maintains the photochromic properties of BTE moiety in solution, film, and solid state but also exhibits remarkable AIE properties. Moreover, the fluorescence of BTE-2PBT PMMA film could be modulated with high contrast by alternate UV and visible light irradiation. Photoerasing, rewriting, and non-destructive readout of fluorescent images on BTE-2PBT PMMA film well demonstrate its potential application as optical memory media.
