The bulk-biodegradable solid–solid phase change materials (SSPCMs) based on phase change polyethylene glycol (PEG) were synthesized by solvent-free polyaddition. On the basis of the fact that the water absorption is up to 800 mass% and that the poly(ethylene oxide) molecular chains can be degraded by microorganisms, the bulk-biodegradable mechanism of SSPCMs was put forward and studied. The X-ray diffraction patterns and the polarizing optical microscopy images show the SSPCMs possess the defective crystal and small grain compared with PEG. The differential scanning calorimetry data demonstrate the melting temperature and enthalpy of the synthesized SSPCMs are, respectively, 41 °C and 128 J g?1. The bulk-biodegradable SSPCMs have the preeminent thermal reliability and the high thermal stability due to the onset thermal degradation temperature above 302 °C, which will give a good insight into bulk-biodegradable PCM system. 相似文献
Pentaerythritol/butane tetracarboxylic acid/polyethylene glycol (PBPEG) crosslinking copolymers as a novel solid-solid phase change material (SSPCM) were successfully synthesized through the reaction mechanism and conditions of hydroxyl-carboxyl condensation reaction. The composition and chemical structure, crystalline properties, phase change behaviors, thermal reliability and chemical stability of PBPEG crosslinking copolymers were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), polarization optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetry (TGA), respectively. The results show that PBPEG crosslinking copolymers have typical solid-solid phase transition temperatures in the range of 10.31~53.27°C and high latent heat enthalpy in the range of 89.6~102.8 J/g, the synthesized SSPCMs have good thermal reliability and chemical stability after 300 thermal cycles, and PBPEG crosslinking copolymers have good thermal stability before 364°C. In summary, the synthesized PBPEG crosslinking copolymers could be potentially used for thermal energy storage. 相似文献
In this study, tetradecanol–palmitic acid/expanded perlite composites containing carbon fiber (TD-PA/EP-CF CPCMs) were prepared by a vacuum impregnation method. Binary eutectic mixtures of PA and TD were utilized as thermal energy storage material in the composites, where EP behaved as supporting material. X-ray diffraction demonstrated that crystal structures of PA, TD, EP, and CF remained unchanged, confirming no chemical interactions among raw materials besides physical combinations. The microstructures indicated that TD-PA was sufficiently absorbed into EP porous structure, forming no leakage even in molten state. Differential scanning calorimetry estimated the melting temperature of TD-PA/EP-CF CPCM to 33.6 °C, with high phase change latent heat (PCLH) of 138.3 kJ kg−1. Also, the freezing temperature was estimated at 29.7 °C, with PCLH of 137.5 kJ kg−1. The thermal cycling measurements showed that PCM composite had adequate stability even after 200 melting/freezing cycles. Moreover, the thermal conductivity enhanced from 0.48 to 1.081 W m−1 K−1 in the presence of CF. Overall, the proposed CPCMs look promising materials for future applications due to their appropriate phase change temperature, elevated PCLH, and better thermal stability.
Using palmitic acid (PA), expanded graphite (EG), and carbon fiber (CF) as raw materials, PA/EG/CF composite phase change materials (CPCMs) with diverse CF contents were invented by melt blending approach. The effects of different ratios on thermal properties were studied by experimental characterization and testing. Scanning electron microscopy images displayed that PA was adsorbed in the pores of the EG surface, while CF was disorderly but uniformly embedded in the interior and surface of pores. The chemical stability and thermal decomposition stability of CPCM at low temperature were proved by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and thermogravimetric analyzer results, respectively. According to the law of heat storage/release time and latent heat variation, the optimal ratio scheme was determined, and its heat storage/release time was 65% and 59% lower than pure PA, respectively. The form-stable materials were prepared by compression forming method, and thermal cycling experiment results demonstrated that the higher the content of CF, the stronger the inhibition of mass loss. Based on the experimental results, the PA/EG/CF CPCM has the advantages of stable phase transition, strong stability, and fast heat storage and release rate, so it has a marvelous application prospect in the field of low-temperature heat storage engineering.
Two different types of thermodynamically induced self-assembled hierarchical structures were formed in carbon black (CB)-filled POM/SAN/TPU and POM/SAN/PA6 ternary polymer blends when the minor third polymer components TPU and PA6, which have the highest affinity to CB among the three polymer components, were individually incorporated into CB-filled POM/SAN binary blend: TPU with imbedded CB forms the interphase, while PA6 with imbedded CB forms droplets inside the SAN phase. The efficiencies of the two types of conductive networks formed by these hierarchical structures are compared in terms of electrical percolation threshold. The percolation threshold of CB in POM/SAN (70/30) blend decreases by 59% and 54% when only 5 wt% of POM is replaced by TPU and PA6, respectively. The mechanisms of conductive network formation are different in the two cases and related to their blend morphology, one is double percolation in a tri-continuous blend and the other is triple percolation in a cocontinuous blend. 相似文献
Summary: Polyamide 6 (PA6)/acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene (ABS) (40/60 w/w) nanocomposites with a novel morphology were prepared by the melt mixing of PA6, ABS and organoclay. The blend nanocomposites had a co‐continuous structure, in which both PA6 and styrene‐acrylonitrile (SAN) were continuous phases. It was found that the toughening rubber particles were only located in the SAN phase and the strengthening clay platelets were selectively dispersed in the PA6 phase. The co‐continuous nanocomposites showed greatly improved mechanical properties over the whole temperature range when compared with the same blend sample without clay.

A series of novel star‐shaped carbohydrate derivative liquid crystals was synthesized with glucose as the chiral core structure. Glutamyl mesogenic moieties, l‐R‐{n‐[4‐(cholesteryloxycarbonyl)benzoyloxy]alkoxy}glutamic acid, were introduced to the five hydroxy groups of glucose by direct esterification. The chemical structures of the target liquid crystalline compounds were confirmed by element analysis and Fourier transform infrared, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The mesomorphic behaviour and thermal properties of target liquid crystalline compounds were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, polarizing optical microscopy, X‐ray diffraction and specific rotation. All the target compounds exhibit a cholesteric liquid crystalline phase. These compounds demonstrate a wide mesogenic region and high thermal stability. The effect of flexible spacer group length of the target compounds on the molecular structure and thermal properties is discussed. 相似文献
A quick and simple procedure for the synthesis of nanosized complexes of the drug moxifloxacin (MOX) is described. MOX nanoparticles were synthesized via charge-transfer (CT) interactions with the organic acceptors picric acid (PA), chloranilic acid (CLA) and chloranil (CHL). The structure and morphology of these nanoparticles were fully characterized using physicochemical techniques, such as UV–visible, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopies, XRD, SEM, TEM, and elemental and thermal analyses. Notably, it has been found that the complexation of MOX with an organic acceptor leads to well-organized nanoparticles with a main diameter in the range of 10–20 nm. Interestingly, the direct carbonization of the complex containing the PA acceptor leads to nanoporous carbon material with uniform morphology. This method is an efficient way to remove and utilize discarded MOX antibiotic in other products. 相似文献
A series of new thermal bilateral liquid crystal compounds with the phenylenebis‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole structure was synthesised. The molecular structures of the oxadiazole compounds were confirmed by FT‐IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that the compounds in an atmosphere of nitrogen have good thermal stability. Measurements using differential scanning calorimetry, polarising optical microscopy and temperature‐dependent wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction indicated that the liquid crystalline properties are related to the length of the end groups. When the end group was tert‐butyl or alkoxy with four and six carbons, the compounds exhibit no liquid crystal phase. However, compounds with end groups containing more than eight carbons show significant bidirectional thermally‐induced liquid crystal properties and the structure of the liquid crystal phase is the lamellar smectic A phase. All the compounds exhibit blue fluorescence. 相似文献
Thermal conductivity variations with temperature of solid phases for lauric acid (LA), myristic acid (MA), pivalic acid (PA), and stearic acid (SA) have been measured with radial heat-flow method. Temperature dependencies of the thermal conductivity for same organic materials have been obtained by linear regression analysis. From graphs of thermal conductivity versus temperature, the thermal conductivity of solid phase at their melting temperature and temperature coefficients of thermal conductivity for LA, MA, PA, and SA have been found to be 0.37, 0.39, 0.23, and 0.35 W K?1 m?1 and 0.00935, 0.00446, 0.01095, and 0.00295 K?1, respectively. The ratios of thermal conductivity of liquid phase to thermal conductivity of solid phase for LA, MA, PA, and SA have also been measured to be 0.52, 0.48, 0.25, and 0.59, respectively, with a Bridgman-type directional solidification apparatus. 相似文献
As a key research objective for environmentally friendly energetic materials, energetic salts without heavy metal have received wide attention. The energetic salts DAG · PA · H2O ( 1 ) and DAG · TNR · H2O ( 2 ) were synthesized by using diamino‐glyoxine (DAG) and picric acid (PA) or 2, 4,6‐trinitro‐resorcinol (TNR) as raw materials, and their structures were characterized by elemental analysis, FT‐IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Single crystals of the title salts were cultured and their structures were determined by X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction. Both salts belong to the triclinic space group P1 with density values of 1.764 and 1.751 g · cm–3, respectively. The thermal decomposition behaviors of both salts were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), the non‐isothermal kinetic parameters and the critical temperature of thermal explosion were calculated. The heats of formation for the salts were also determined through the combustion heats date measured by using the oxygen bomb calorimetry. In addition, the detonation pressure (P) and detonation velocities (D) of the salts were predicted by using the K‐J equations, and their sensitivities towards impact and friction were tested. The results indicated that the title salts have potential applications in the field of energetic materials. 相似文献
