亚稳平衡吸附态与亚稳平衡系数关系的热力学研究

在相同温度、压力、pH值和离子强度等条件下,同一种金属离子在无机矿物表面上发生的吸附反应可以形成能量不同的吸附状态(如Zn可以边-边和角-角两种方式吸附在水锰矿表面上),因而反应终了时吸附质可处于不同的亚稳平衡吸附态(MEA).应用MEA理论,针对吸附反应A+H₂O=xA₁+yA₂+H₂O,推导出实际吸附反应“平衡常数”(Kreal)与亚稳平衡系数(Kme)的热力学关系式,从理论上分析了吸附反应MEA状态的变化对实际吸附反应平衡性质的影响.分析结果表明,Kme值与两种MEA状态之间的能量差呈指数关系,通过影响吸附反应的MEA状态(包括能量和组成)的反应动力学因素可影响吸附平衡常数和吸附等温式(线)等吸附热力学性质.

Influence of Boron Nitride on the Network Structure and Properties of Poly(dimethylsiloxane) Composite Materials

The influence of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) on the network structure and properties of poly(dimethylsiloxane) networks was investigated. A silane coupling reaction occurs during the preparation of materials to fix the filler to the network. The composite materials display a reduction in bulk network cross-linking and increase in hydrogen bonding interactions when compared to the unfilled material. Consequently, the tensile modulus is enhanced, the tan-delta decreases and compression set resistance diminishes. The in situ silane coupling reaction does not impact the expected thermal conductivity of the material and the inclusion of h-BN leads to materials with decreased coefficient of thermal expansion.     

Influence of plasticizers and crosslinking on the properties of biodegradable films made from sodium caseinate

Plasticized protein films were prepared by the casting method from water solution of sodium caseinate and plasticizers with the aim to obtain environmentally friendly materials for packaging applications. Mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation and Young’s modulus) of caseinate based films were determined versus ratio of protein to plasticizer, plasticizer type and relative humidity conditions. Among the different polyol-type plasticizers tested, glycerol (Gly) and triethanolamine (TEA) were the most efficient for the improvement of mechanical properties (high strains for low stresses). Further, chemical crosslinking between formaldehyde (HCHO) and free amino groups (ε-NH₂) of sodium caseinate was performed to increase water resistance of TEA plasticized films. Optimal mechanical properties, i.e. elastic modulus of 105 MPa, tensile strength of 8-9 MPa for elongation at break about 110-125% were obtained for HCHO/ε-NH₂ ratios higher than 1.35. Protein specific water solubility was determined from a 280 nm absorbance. For convenient crosslinker (HCHO) content sodium caseinate solubility can be lowered to less than 5 wt% after 24 h immersion in water.

Synthesis and characterization of thermally stable,high‐modulus polyimides containing benzimidazole moieties

A series of novel benzimidazole‐containing aromatic polyimides were prepared from synthesized 5,4′‐diamino‐2‐phenyl benzimidazole (DAPBI), and commercial dianhydrides by the conventional two‐step polymerization. The obtained films were amorphous and could afford flexible, transparent, and tough films with excellent thermal and mechanical properties. They showed high levels of tension strength of up to 234 MPa, modulus of up to 5.6 GPa without any stretching. According to thermal stability measurements, the glass‐transition temperatures of the polymers were observed between 329 and 425 °C. The 5% weight‐loss temperatures of most polyimides were above 600 °C in nitrogen. Excellent properties of these polyimides were proved to be attributed to the rigid‐rod structure and hydrogen bond of intermacromolecular. SAXS and SEM results showed self‐molecular orientation caused the formation of rod‐like extended conformations. It was demonstrated that high degree of supramolecular order led to the increase of thermal stability and mechanical properties of the polyimide films. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of hydroxyapatite-poly-(vinyl alcohol) based nanocomposites for their perspective use as bone substitutes

The present work adds to the continuing efforts of designing a natural bone like structure. In these studies the hydroxyapatite (HA) impregnated polymeric composites of polyacrylamide (PAm) and poly-(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) have been synthesized by free radical polymerization for the purpose of studying their blood compatibility, water sorption behavior mechanical properties, and porosity. The prepared PAm-PVA-HA composites were characterized using techniques like fourier transform spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction studies, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The composites were also evaluated for mechanical properties like compressive strength and modulus.     

Water Sorption in Polyamide 6/Poly(Amino-ether) Blends. II. Mechanical Behavior

Polyamide 6 (PA)/poly(amino-ether of bisphenol A) (Blox) blends were placed in water for different times in an attempt to both find out whether the positive effects of Blox on the mechanical properties of PA are maintained in wet conditions, and to study the effects of solvent sorption on the mechanical properties of polymer blends.

After one week's sorption, the positive effects of the presence of Blox on the mechanical properties of PA were much larger than the composition would indicate, as 20% Blox led to a 100% increase in the modulus of elasticity with respect to that of the wet PA. After sorption for six weeks, the positive effects had decreased, attributed to a decrease in the interactions between PA and Blox, which was a consequence of the high miscibilized water content. The sorption/desorption process appeared to be only partially reversible as significant water contents remained in the blends even after very long desorption times and cracking was observed in blends very rich in Blox.     

High damping and mechanical properties of hydrogen-bonded polyethylene materials with variable contents of hydroxyls: Effect of hydrogen bonding density

Hydrogen bonding is considered to have significant effect on the interaction between polymeric chains and on the viscoelasticity of the polymeric materials. In this paper, we attempt to discuss the relationship between hydrogen bonding density and damping behavior and mechanical properties of polyethylene-based polymeric materials. For this reason, a series of pendant chain hydrogen bonding polymers(PCHBP) with different hydrogen bonding density(HBD) were prepared by quantitatively changing the content of pendent hydroxyl groups on the main chain of polyethylene. It was found that PCHBP with low HBD showed similar properties to polyethylene, indicating that the property of the materials was dependent mainly on the structure of the main chain. However, PCHBP with high HBD exhibited two tanδ peaks and a platform of loss modulus as well as a high storage modulus(about 400 MPa) at the second tanδ peak temperature, demonstrating that a polymeric material with high strength and damping properties was obtained. More importantly, the maximum of loss modulus showed a linear increase with the HBD, indicating that a higher HBD greatly improved the damping properties of the polymeric materials.     

Polymer‐Induced Surface Modifications of Pd‐based Thin Films Leading to Improved Kinetics in Hydrogen Sensing and Energy Storage Applications

The catalytic properties of Pd alloy thin films are enhanced by a thin sputtered PTFE coating, resulting in profound improvements in hydrogen adsorption and desorption in Pd‐based and Pd‐catalyzed hydrogen sensors and hydrogen storage materials. The remarkably enhanced catalytic performance is attributed to chemical modifications of the catalyst surface by the sputtered PTFE leading to a possible change in the binding strength of the intermediate species involved in the hydrogen sorption process.
