A short overview on the general mechanistic principles of the allyl metal complex catalyzed stereo-specific butadiene polymerization is given. The present state of knowledge on the mechanism of stereoregulation and in the understanding of the catalytic structure reactivity relationships is discussed comparatively for allyl nickel and allyl lanthanide catalysts. 相似文献
Multiphase flow in porous media is strongly influenced by the pore-scale arrangement of fluids. Reservoir-scale constitutive relationships capture these effects in a phenomenological way, relying only on fluid saturation to characterize the macroscopic behavior. Working toward a more rigorous framework, we make use of the fact that the momentary state of such a system is uniquely characterized by the geometry of the pore-scale fluid distribution. We consider how fluids evolve as they undergo topological changes induced by pore-scale displacement events. Changes to the topology of an object are fundamentally discrete events. We describe how discontinuities arise, characterize the possible topological transformations and analyze the associated source terms based on geometric evolution equations. Geometric evolution is shown to be hierarchical in nature, with a topological source term that constrains how a structure can evolve with time. The challenge associated with predicting topological changes is addressed by constructing a universal geometric state function that predicts the possible states based on a non-dimensional relationship with two degrees of freedom. The approach is validated using fluid configurations from both capillary and viscous regimes in ten different porous media with porosity between 0.10 and 0.38. We show that the non-dimensional relationship is independent of both the material type and flow regime. We demonstrate that the state function can be used to predict history-dependent behavior associated with the evolution of the Euler characteristic during two-fluid flow.
Automatic peak evaluation in chromatograms and subsequent quantification of compound concentrations is still a challenge in the analysis of complex samples containing hundreds or thousands of compounds. Although a number of software packages for peak evaluation exist, baseline definition and overlapping peaks of different shapes are the main reasons which prevent reliable automatic analysis of complex chromatograms. A new mathematical procedure is presented which uses peak shapes extracted from the chromatogram itself and modified by nonlinear (in fact, hyperbolic) stretching of the peak head and tail. With this approach, the peak parameters are position, height, scale of front, scale of tail, and smoothness of transition from front to tail scaling. This approach is found to give a substantially better fit than traditional analytically defined peak shapes. Together with a good peak finding heuristic and nonlinear optimization of parameters this allows a reliable automatic analysis of chromatograms with a large number of peaks, even with large groups of overlapping peaks. The analysis matches the quality of standard interactive methods, but still permits interactive refinement. This approach has been implemented and tested on a large set of data from chromatography of hydrocarbons in ambient air samples. 相似文献
Molten inorganic salt hydrates are highly efficient solvents forcellulose. The carboxymethylation of the polymer dissolved in this new group ofcellulose solvents was investigated. The homogeneous carboxymethylation ofcellulose in molten LiClO43H2O using sodiummonochloroacetate in the presence of NaOH is possible. The formation of CMC wasconfirmed by FT- Raman spectroscopy. Structure analysis by means of HPLC afterchain degradation showed the formation of CMC with a DS of 2 after a shortreaction time of 4 h. The derivatives exhibit a statisticaldistribution of substituents along the polymer chain if prepared in moltenLiClO43H2O as solvent. A substituent distributioninthe order C-6 > C-2 C-3 for anhydroglucose units (AGU) was concludedfrom 1H-NMR measurements. The synthesis of CMC in the swellingmediumLiClxH2O (2 x 5) yields polymers with astatistical distribution of functional groups along the chain. The watercontentof the salt melts has a dramatic influence on the DSCMC. 相似文献
