Two-layer coating with polymer and carbon nanotube on magnetic carbonyl iron particle and its magnetorheology

Magnetic carbonyl iron (CI)-based magnetorheological (MR) fluids generally posses serious dispersion defects due to the large density mismatch between the CI particles and continuous oil medium, which restricts further MR applications. Polymer coating technology has been introduced in an attempt to reduce the density or prevent CI particle aggregation. In this study, a unique functional coating composed of a polyaniline layer and multiwalled carbon nanotube nest was fabricated on the surface of CI particles using a dispersion polymerization and solvent casting method to improve the sedimentation problem of CI-based MR fluids when dispersed in medium oil. The coating morphology was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The effect of the functional coating on the MR performance along with the sedimentation observations was investigated using a rotational rheometer. The results showed that the sedimentation of dispersed particles was improved considerably by the reduced density and rough morphology.

Iron oxide/MCM-41 mesoporous nanocomposites and their magnetorheology

Mesoporous nanocomposite materials of magnetic iron oxide-containing MCM-41 (IO/MCM-41) were prepared by simple thermal oxidation of Fe-containing MCM-41 initially prepared by a direct synthesis route using Fe³⁺ salt. The magnetic saturation of the fabricated nanocomposite materials was measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer, while surface morphology and inner framework of the composite materials were studied using a field emission scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope to confirm their mesoporous nanocomposite formation. The fabricated magnetic materials were then adopted as a magnetorheological (MR) fluid, where the IO/MCM-41 magnetic nanocomposites were dispersed in a nonmagnetic medium oil in addition to as an additive for carbonyl iron-based MR fluid. Their MR properties of flow curve along with yield stress and viscoelastic properties under applied magnetic fields were investigated using a rotational rheometer.     

Xanthan gum-coated soft magnetic carbonyl iron composite particles and their magnetorheology

The dispersion stability of carbonyl iron (CI)-based magnetorheological (MR) fluid was improved by coating soft magnetic CI particles with an environmentally benign biopolymer of xanthan gum to reduce the density gap between the medium oil and dispersed particles. The sedimentation test of the MR fluid showed that the xanthan gum/CI composite particles improved the sedimentation drawback of the pristine CI-based MR fluid. The rheological properties of the MR fluid were also examined using a rotational rheometer to observe the typical MR characteristics, such as yield stress and shear viscosity.     

Atom transfer radical polymerized PMMA/magnetite nanocomposites and their magnetorheology

We synthesized core/shell-typed magnetic nanoparticle composites using poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as a shell and magnetite nanoparticle (MN) as a core, in which the PMMA shell was prepared via atomic transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method. Chemical structure and morphology of the synthesized MN–PMMA nanocomposite were investigated using FT-IR and TEM, respectively. Magnetorheological (MR) fluid was prepared by dispersing synthesized MN–PMMA in non-magnetic medium. Both shear stress and shear viscosity of the MR fluids as a function of shear rate were measured using a rotational rheometer with a magnetic field generator, exhibiting that a yield stress increased with an external magnetic field strength.

Fabrication of multiwalled carbon nanotube-wrapped magnetic carbonyl iron microspheres and their magnetorheology

Magnetorheological (MR) properties and dispersion stability of magnetic carbonyl iron (CI) microspheres were examined and found to be enhanced by fabricating a dense nest composed of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the surface of CI particles in this study. The coating process is achieved by using 4-aminobenzoic acid as a grafting agent via self-assembly mechanism under sonication in which the MWCNTs were adopted as the coating material because MWCNTs possess similar density with polymer but better magnetic properties due to the iron catalyst originally included within the walls. The coating thickness and morphology of the MWCNTs nest were found to be related with the sonication duration. The influence of the coating layers on the magnetic properties and MR performance (yield stress behavior, shear viscosity) were examined using a vibrating sample magnetometer and rotational rheometer. Sedimentation rates of the fabricated MWCNT/CI suspension and pure CI suspension were also investigated.

Synthesis and Sintering-wet Carbonation of Nano-sized Carbonated Hydroxyapatite

Synthetic carbonated apatite ceramics are considered as promising alternative to auto- and allograft materials for bone substitute. In this study, Carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) was synthesized by nanoemulsion method. The powder produced was B-type CHA in nano-sized and had 8.25% carbonate content. The CHA samples were made into pellets and were sintered to 800 °C. Upon cooling down to 150, 200, 250 and 300 °C, carbonation with wet CO₂ was performed on the CHA in a desiccator to re-compensate the carbonate loss due to sintering and improve densification. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effect of cooled down temperatures on dense CHA with two kind of wet CO₂ atmospheres: direct wet CO₂ and dry CO₂ through water. Sintered CHA carbonated by using dry CO₂ through water had overall higher amount of carbonate content as compared to carbonation from wet CO₂ directly from tank. D200, sample undergone carbonation by carbonated by dry CO₂ through water at 200 °C had the highest carbonate content (3.35%).

Highly Dispersed and Nano-sized Pt-based Electrocatalysts for Low-Temperature Fuel Cells

Among metals, Pt is so far the best material to be used as anode and cathode in low-temperature fuel cells. However, Pt has the drawback of being expensive and easily CO-poisoned. Thus, to produce useful electrocatalysts, significant efforts have been made worldwide on developing Pt-based catalysts with low Pt contents as well as searching for alternative materials with high catalytic activity for anodic and cathodic reactions in low-temperature fuel cells. This article presents the development of highly dispersed and nano-sized Pt-based electrocatalysts synthesized by several new methods based on our experimental results. In the case of anode materials, our proposed new method consists of the synthesis of Pt-based nanoparticles in order to maximize their surface availability, combined with the use of secondary metals that promote the oxidations of methanol and CO. On the other hand, for the cathode materials, the use of the Pt catalysts mixed with metal oxides enhances their oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity. We anticipate that the highly dispersed Pt-based nanoparticles introduced in this article will improve the performance of anode and cathode for low-temperature fuel cells.     

Rubber toughening of plastics: Rubber particle cavitation and its consequences

A newly-developed energy-based model for cavitation in rubber particles provides a quantitative basis for understanding the factors controlling toughness in rubber-modified plastics. Cavitation of the rubber is the initial step in the toughening mechanism, and is shown to accelerate yielding of the matrix, either by the formation of dilatation bands or by multiple crazing. Cavitation is thus a strain-softening effect. However, in some cases the cavitated rubber forms fibrils which become highly stretched as local strains increase, and thus begin to carry a significant fraction of the applied stress. The resulting strain-hardening ensures that yielding is not limited to a small deformation zone at a crack tip, but spreads outwards.     

A Zn or Fe particle bed to convert HF with traces of TF to HT

The generation of HF with traces of TF and then conversion to HT were investigated using a bed packed with NiF₂ and Zn or Fe particles. When the temperature of fine particles of Zn or Fe was elevated up to 400 °C or 550 °C, respectively, TF was completely reduced to HT. Since ZnF₂ and FeF₂ had no TF (and HF) adsorption capacity, memory effect was found to be negligibly small. Thus Zn and Fe particles can be used as an effective reduction material corresponding to different temperature conditions to convert TF to HT for tritium detection by ion chambers without any corrosion.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Decacyclene as complexation manifold: synthesis, structure and properties of its Fe2 and Fe4 slipped triple-decker complexes

Reaction of [(eta(5)-Me4EtC5)Fe(II)Cl(tmeda)] (tmeda = N,N,N'N'-tetramethylethylenediamine) with a polyanion solution of decacyclene (1) results in the formation of the triple-deckers [{(eta(5)-Me4EtC5)Fe}2-mu2-(eta(6):eta(6)-decacyclene)] (3) and [{(eta(5)-Me4EtC5)Fe}4-mu4-(eta(6):eta(6):eta(6):eta(6)-decacyclene)] (4). Metal complexation in 3 and 4 occurs on opposite faces of the pi perimeter in an alternating mode. The decacyclene ring adopts a gently twisted molecular propeller geometry with twofold crystallographic symmetry (C2). Complex 4 crystallizes in the chiral space group C222(1); the investigated crystal only contains decacyclene rings with M chirality. The handedness can be assigned unambiguously to the presence of the iron atoms. Cyclovoltammetric studies revealed quasireversible behavior of the redox events and a strong interaction of the Fe atoms in 3 and 4, exemplified by potential differences deltaE of 660 and 770(780) mV between the first and the second individual oxidation processes. This corresponds to a high degree of metal-metal interaction for 3 and 4. The successful syntheses of 3 and 4 together with earlier results from our laboratory proves that all five- and six-membered pi subunit sets of 1 are prone to metal complexation. A clear site preference in 1 towards the complexation of [Cp(R)]iron, -cobalt, and -nickel fragments exists.
