Dendritic nanowire ultraviolet laser array

Self-organized dendritic crystal growth is explored to assemble uniform semiconductor nanowires into highly ordered one-dimensional microscale arrays that resemble comb structures. The individual ZnO nanowires have uniform diameters ranging from 10 to 300 nm. They are evenly spaced on a stem with a regular periodicity of 0.1-2 micrometer. Under optical excitation, each individual ZnO nanowire serves as a Fabry-Perot optical cavity, and together they form a highly ordered nanowire ultraviolet laser array.     

Styrylpyridine-based epoxy resins: Synthesis and characterization

Polymers containing rigid aromatic structures in the chain backbone usually gave high thermal stability and good flammability resistance. Three glycidyl ethers of epoxy resins were prepared from 2,4-di(p-hydroxystyryl)pyridine (2,4-DGESP), 2,6-di-(p-hydroxystyryl)pyridine (2,6-DGESP), and 2,4,6-tri-(p-hydroxystyryl)pryidine (2,4,6-TGESP) to study the relationships of structure to polymer degradation. To prepare a highly crosslinked material, trimethoxyboroxine (TMB) was used as the curing agent. The relative char yields of the three different resins, as measured by TGA, were 2,4-DGESP ≈ 2,6-DGESP > 2,4,6-TGESP. The char yield of the cured 2,6-DGESP varied with different amounts of the TMB curing agent, and was higher than the uncured 2,6-DGESP. The oxygen index increased as a function of thermal curing time for the 2,6-DGESP epoxy resin. An intermolecular Diels–Alder reaction with 2,6-DGESP is proposed as a primary reaction during thermal curing.     

Structural dependence of non-linear optical properties of 4-Dimethylamino-3-cyanobiphenyl

 4-Dimethylamino-3-cyanobiphenyl (4-DMA-3-CB) was characterized with respect to linear and nonlinear optical properties in a crystal as well as in solution. The crystal structure was studied dependent on the crystallization conditions. It is shown that the crystal structure exhibiting NLO-activity can completely be solved by a combination of electron diffraction and computer modeling. There are four molecules per unit cell in the space group Pna2₁ with dimensions a=10.28 Å, b=22.64 Å, c=5.27 Å. From this model structure the values and orientation of the dipole μ and static second order polarizability β can be calculated. Their relevance to the values obtained by a combination of polarization dependent measurements of Electric Field Induced Second Harmonic Generation (EFISH) and Hyper-Rayleigh-Scattering (HRS) in solution are discussed. The molecular second order polarizability tensor was found to be dominated by one single component. The orientations of the dipole and the vectorial parts of the second order polarizability delivered by the semiempirical calculations are in good agreement with the results of the EFISH and HRS-measurements and allow a deeper insight into the nonlinear optical properties of the crystal.

A Minor New Flavone from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi

A new flavone,6,2′-dihydroxy-5,7,8,6′-tetramethoxyflavone,was isolated from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis. Its structure was established on the basis of spectral evidences.     

Temperature-programmed desorption and adsorption of hydrogen on Mo2N

Hydrogen adsorption-desorption over Mo₂N has been studied using a temperature-programmed technique. It is revealed that hydrogen on Mo₂N exhibits very high mobility leading to migration of the surface hydrogen into the sublayer and bulk of the sample or the reverse. The surface hydrogen species are preferentially formed when adsorption is carried out below 573 K. On increasing the adsorption temperature to above 573 K, the quantity of hydrogen species located in the sublayer or/and bulk of the Mo₂N sample increases significantly.     

4,5-环氧环己烷1,2-二甲酸单丁酯单缩水甘油酯/m-PDA的热固化特征

本文叔述了4,5-环氧环己烷1,2-二甲酸单丁酯单缩水甘油酯(DME-47)/间-苯二胺(m-PDA)体系的热固化特征。结果表明,由于DME-47中羧酸缩水甘油酯型环氧基的反应活性远大于脂环环氧基。所以,DME-47/m-PDA体系固化反应明显地分两阶段进行。由TBA恒温固化动力学数据求得体系在100—160℃表观反应活化能E_α=13.9kcal/mol,在160—240℃E_α=16.6kcal/mol,根据实验数据按Arrhenius关系式推算,本体系在室温25℃下可以存放80天左右而不凝胶化,20℃下可存放120天左右。     

Study on oxidation of polymers treated by high LET radiation

The oxidation of medical silicone rubber and segmented polyether urethane which were bombarded with 11.2 MeV Si⁺ or F⁺ at the dose of 5 × 10¹⁴ ions/cm² was studied. In XPS measurements, it was found that the oxygen concentration on the surface of the implanted polymeric membranes had been increasing in three months at least. ESR measurement showed that some free radicals existed in these membranes and their quantities decreased with time. Chemical analysis proved that peroxides were generated in the γ irradiated membranes. The reason for the increasing of oxygen concentration was that free radicals combined with oxygen in the air and produced peroxides on the membrane surface. Moreover, in order to demonstrate the radiation mechanism, low LET (γ rays) radiation of such polymeric membranes was carried out for comparison     

STUDY ON STYRENE-BUTADIENE BLOCK COPOLYMER FOR THE MODIFICATI0N OF TIRE TREAD

This paper mainly deals with the design and synthesis of a novel styrene-butadieneblock copolymer. When this copolymer is used in the tread portion of tyres, it can improvewet skid resistance and reduce rolling resistance without sacrificing its general physical-mechanical properties. The visco-elastic curve of tire tread using the novel copolymer asits rubber portion was showed. Reactivity ratios for two monomers in the polymerizingsystem were calculated. The diagrams of differelitial, integral and finite difference calculithroughout the whole molecular chain were presented. The influence of the micro- andmacro-structure of the copolymer chain on wet skid resistance and rolling resistance wasdiscussed
