We have studied the influence of the applied magnetic field on the blocking temperature (TB) of a fine magnetic particle system. By means of a Monte Carlo technique we have simulated zero field cooling (ZFC) curves under different applied fields, obtaining the respective TB as a function of H. We have focused our study on the limit H → HK (where HK is the anisotropy field), since the results found in the literature usually lack a detailed study of this range. The simulations were done at different sample concentration of the nanoparticles, with the purpose of observing how the magnetic dipolar interaction affects the field dependence of TB. The classical expression predicts TB to disappear for H ? HK, independently of the dipolar interaction strength. Our simulations show that at strong interacting conditions TB exists even for fields H > HK. 相似文献
In this communication, polyanionic poly(potassium 3‐sulfopropyl methacrylate) (PSPM) brushes were switched from hydrophilic to hydrophobic by exchange of the counter cations. First, poly(potassium 3‐sulfopropyl methacrylate) brushes were grown by means of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from thiol monolayers of initiating ω‐mercaptoundecyl bromoisobutyrate and mixed monolayers of thiol initiator and 1‐undecanothiol (blank thiol) attached to gold surfaces. The kinetics of the polymerization reaction were followed by means of the quartz microbalance technique with dissipation (QCM‐D). The collapse of PSPM brushes in the presence of cationic surfactants like quaternary ammonium salts (tetraethylammonium bromide, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide) and imidazolium salts (1‐dodecyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bromide, 1H,1H,2H,2H‐perfluoro‐1‐decyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bromide) was shown by QCM‐D. Water contact angle measurements proved that the wettability of the surface could be tuned reversibly from hydrophilic values (<30 °) to hydrophobic ones (>85 °).

In this paper we describe the magnetorheological (MR) behavior of aqueous suspensions consisting of magnetite particles stabilized by poly(acrylic acid) polymers (PAA). A previous work on the colloidal stability of the same systems for different pH values and polymer concentrations demonstrated that the addition of PAA polymers has a very significant effect on the stability. In the present contribution, we study the MR effect of the suspensions stabilized by two different commercial polymers, as a function of pH, magnetic field strength and magnetite volume fraction. All the results are discussed in terms of the interfacial properties of the systems. It is demonstrated that for a given concentration of micrometer particles, the rheological response strongly depends on pH, on the volume fraction of magnetite particles, on the type of polymer added for increasing the stability and on the magnetic field strength. Changing the polymer used provokes clear rheological differences for the same sample conditions (field strength, volume fraction and pH). This is suggested to be due to the hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance of the polymer affecting the magnetic field ability to form magnetic structures by aggregation of the magnetized particles. The results are compared to the predictions of the so-called standard chain model, based on the assumption that the MR effect is the result of the balance between the magnetic interactions (tending to establish some degree of order in the suspension by formation of particle chains in the direction of the field) and hydrodynamic ones (tending to destroy the formed structures by viscous stress on the chains). It is found that the behavior of the yield stress does not agree well with the predictions of the model when the relative proportion of both particle and polymer confers optimum stability to the dispersions. This is likely due to the fact that the presence of the stabilizing polyelectrolyte provokes that the magnetic field is not as effective in structuring the suspension as deduced from the chain model. 相似文献
Atrazine is a systemic triazine herbicide, which has been classified as an endocrine disrupting pesticide of hormones and the reproductive systems of humans. Moreover, atrazine was recently considered as a potential carcinogen by several reports. The aim of this work was to synthesize and to evaluate an iron catalyst supported on activated carbon to remove atrazine from water. Five different treatment schemas were evaluated: (1) adsorption with the photocatalyst’s support alone, (2) adsorption with the supported photocatalyst alone, (3) adsorption coupled to heterogeneous Fenton reaction, (4) adsorption coupled to heterogeneous advanced oxidation with UV light and (5) adsorption coupled to heterogeneous photo assisted Fenton reaction. The photocatalyst synthesized, via the incipient wet impregnation method, showed 1176 ± 24 m2/g of Langmuir area and 1.6 % wt/wt of iron content. After 120 min of reaction time, total removal efficiencies in the treatment schemas using the photocatalyst ranged from 70 % (mainly adsorption with the photocatalyst alone) to 96 % (Adsorption and heterogeneous photo assisted Fenton reaction). The heterogeneous photo assisted Fenton reaction was the fastest and most efficient treatment schema, with results better than that reported for similar materials. The adsorption data was fitted to a kinetic model of pseudo-second order and the results of advanced oxidation process were fitted to a kinetic model of fractional order. 相似文献
