Direct visualization of the nanoscopic three‐phase structure and stiffness of NBR/PVC blends by AFM nanomechanical mapping

The PeakForce Quantitative Nanomechanical Mapping based on atomic force microscope (AFM) is employed to first visualize and then quantify the elastic properties of a model nitrile rubber/poly(vinyl chloride) (NBR/PVC) blend at the nanoscale. This method allows us to consistently observe the changes in mechanical properties of each phase in polymer blends. Beyond measuring and discriminating elastic modulus and adhesion forces of each phase, we tune the AFM tips and the peak force parameters in order to reliably image samples. In view of viscoelastic difference in each phase, a three‐phase coexistence of an unmixed NBR phase, the mixed phase, and PVC microcrystallites is directly visualized in NBR/PVC blends. The nanomechanical investigation is also capable of recognizing the crosslinked rubber phase in cured rubber. The contribution of the mixed phase was quantified and it was found that the mechanical properties of blends are mainly determined by the homogeneity and stiffness of the mixed phase. This study furthers our understanding the structure–mechanical property relationship of thermoplastic elastomers, which is important for their potential design and applications. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Recyclable and reusable Pd(OAc)2/PPh3/PEG‐2000 system for homocoupling reaction of arylboronic acids under air without base

A stable and efficient Pd(OAc)₂/PPh₃/PEG‐2000 catalytic system for homocoupling of arylboronic acids has been developed. In the presence of Pd(OAc)₂ and PPh₃, the homocoupling reaction of arylboronic acids was carried out smoothly in PEG‐2000 at 70 °C under air without base to afford a variety of symmetric biaryls in good to excellent yields. The isolation of the products was readily performed by extraction with diethyl ether, and the Pd(OAc)₂/PPh₃/PEG‐2000 system could be easily recycled and reused six times without significant loss of catalytic activity.

PURIFICATION OF L-METHIONINE AND N-ACETYL-D-METHIONINE FROM THE MIXTURE OF ENZYMATICALLY DEACYLATED N-ACETYL-DL-METHIONINE

1. INTRODUCTION Methionine, namely 2-amido-4-thiomethyl butyric acid with a structure of CH3SCH2CH2CHCOOH, is one of the essential amino acids and has two natural enantionmers, D and L-methionine. The mixture of L- and D-isomers can be used as analeptics or nutritive additives to maintain the equilibrium of amino acids of feed [1,2]. L-methionine can release active methyl and accelerate the synthesis of choline, which further speeds up the conversion of the lipid accumulated in liv…

La2O3-Mo5Si3/MoSi2复合材料的高温氧化行为

研究了0．8％La2O3-MosSi3／MoSi2复合材料在1200℃空气中的高温氧化行为。结果表明：0．8％稀土和MoSi3的加入，使材料的抗氧化性能降低。MosSi3含量越高，材料的抗氧化性能越差。当MosSi3含量低于30％时，在氧化初始阶段，质量变化呈直线下降，随着氧化的进行，氧化逐渐增重，材料表面形成较致密的SiO2阻止了材料的进一步氧化，使得氧化增重较小。而0．8％La2O3-40％Mo5Si3／MoSi2复合材料却出现了“粉化”现象。0．8％La2O3．MosSi3／MoSi2复合材料抗氧化性能的降低，归因于Mo5Si3差的抗氧化性和材料致密度的降低；另外，稀土和Mo5Si3的加入，细化了材料的晶粒，使晶界面积增加，加速了氧在晶界中的扩散，促进了材料的氧化。     

稀土对MoSi2力学性能和抗氧化性能的影响

采用自蔓延和真空烧结方法制备了掺杂0．9％La2O3的MoSi2基复合材料，利用热重分析法，SEM和X射线考察了La2O3颗粒对MoSi2力学性能、抗氧化特性以及循环氧化后力学性能的影响。结果表明，与纯MoSi2相比，RE／MoSi2材料的弯曲强度和断裂韧性分别提高了46％和78％；稀土对MoSi2材料的强韧化机制主要是细晶强化、弥散强化和细晶韧化。RE／MoSi2的氧化增重是纯MoSi2的2．5倍，稀土使MoSiz材料的抗氧化性能降低。由于纯MoSi2材料氧化后的晶粒长大，其抗弯强度比氧化前降低了17％。稀土对MoSi2氧化时的晶粒长大倾向有抑制作用，使得RE／MoSi2材料的抗弯强度基本不变。     

Carbon nanotube assisted synthesis of CeO2 nanotubes

CeO₂ nanotubes have been synthesized facilely using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as templates by a liquid phase deposition method. The properties of the CeO₂ nanotubes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) as well as thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). The obtained CeO₂ nanotubes with a polycrystalline face-centered cubic phase have a uniform diameter ranging from 40 to 50 nm. The CeO₂ nanotubes are composed of many tiny interconnected nanocrystallites of about 10 nm in size. The pretreatment of CNTs and calcination temperature were confirmed to be the crucial factors determining the formation of CeO₂ nanotubes. A possible formation mechanism has been suggested to explain the formation of CeO₂ nanotubes.
