Microencapsulation of styrene with melamine-formaldehyde resin

Melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin-walled microcapsules containing styrene were prepared by in situ polymerization in an oil-in-water emulsion. In response to the characteristics of styrene (i.e., high volatility, non-polarity, low molecular weight, and low viscosity), the synthesis method was improved by optimizing the reaction conditions accordingly. It was found that utilization of macromolecular emulsifier of lower molecular weight, moderate dispersion rate, and higher feeding weight ratio of core/shell monomers is critical for the fast formation of capsules’ wall. The highest loading of styrene in the resultant microcapsules can be about 60%, and mean diameter of the capsules fell in the range of 20∼71 μm, which can be adjusted by changing processing parameters. It is believed that the present work provides a feasible approach to encapsulate monomers for manufacturing polyester based self-healing composites.     

N-Enriched Porous Carbon/SiO2 Composites Derived from Biomass Rice Husks for Boosting Li-Ion Storage: Insight into the Effect of N-Doping

A N-enriched porous carbon/SiO₂ (SiO₂/NC) composite from rice husks was prepared by ball milling and tested as a stable anode for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), in which the homogeneous dispersion of SiO₂ nanoparticles and carbon matrix, and high level of N-doping can be realized simultaneously. The influence of N-doping on a series of SiO₂/NCs was systematically studied; this proved that the porosity, N-doping content, and electronic conductivity of SiO₂/NC can be controlled by adjusting common nitrogen sources (urea and melamine) and doping routes, including dry and wet milling, to reach a desirable balance of high capacity, long-term cyclability, and rate property. The optimized SiO₂/NC composite delivers a stably reversible capacity of 581 mA h g⁻¹ at the high current load of 1.0 A g⁻¹ at the 1000th cycle. The novel Li-storage mechanism of active silica in a composite was first proposed after observation of the N-doping effect that the redox reaction between SiO₂ and Li⁺ is accelerated to transform into an alloying reaction of generated Si and Li⁺, thus enhancing the reversible capacity. Moreover, kinetics analysis confirms that there is a combined Li-storage mechanism of battery-capacitive pattern in composite that contributes to fast charge transfer and ion diffusion during cycle.     

Particle-swarm structure prediction on clusters

We have developed an efficient method for cluster structure prediction based on the generalization of particle swarm optimization (PSO). A local version of PSO algorithm was implemented to utilize a fine exploration of potential energy surface for a given non-periodic system. We have specifically devised a technique of so-called bond characterization matrix (BCM) to allow the proper measure on the structural similarity. The BCM technique was then employed to eliminate similar structures and define the desirable local search spaces. We find that the introduction of point group symmetries into generation of cluster structures enables structural diversity and apparently avoids the generation of liquid-like (or disordered) clusters for large systems, thus considerably improving the structural search efficiency. We have incorporated Metropolis criterion into our method to further enhance the structural evolution towards low-energy regimes of potential energy surfaces. Our method has been extensively benchmarked on Lennard-Jones clusters with different sizes up to 150 atoms and applied into prediction of new structures of medium-sized Li(n) (n = 20, 40, 58) clusters. High search efficiency was achieved, demonstrating the reliability of the current methodology and its promise as a major method on cluster structure prediction.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Ultraviolet Light-Emitting Organic Acids

Three ultraviolet light-emitting organic acids of 3,3′-(4-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-diyl)dibenzoic acid (Tz-1), 4,4′,4″-(4H-1,2,4-triazole-3,4,5-triyl)tribenzoic acid (Tz-2), and 4,4′-(4-(4′-carboxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-diyl)dibenzoic acid (Tz-3) were successfully synthesized and fully characterized by the ¹H NMR, the IR absorption spectra, and the X-ray single crystal diffraction. It was found that Tz-1, Tz-2, and Tz-3 could give out the ultraviolet photoluminescent spectra centered at 369 nm, 365 nm and 350 nm, respectively. The luminescence quantum yields of Tz-1 and Tz-2 were measured to be 0.20 and 0.14, respectively. Additionally, the density functional theory (DFT) and the time-dependent DFT calculations were also carried out for Tz-1, Tz-2, and Tz-3.     

Organometallic modification approach to the control of push-pull architectures: Synthesis, properties and radical polymerization of chromium N-vinylcarbazole derivatives

In an effort to combine the donor character of the carbazole unit with the electron-withdrawing nature of the chromiumtricarbonyl moiety, which can be further modified by exchange of the CO ligand, a new series of vinyl-type monomers with organometallic push-pull chromophores, (N-vinylcarbazole)Cr(CO)₂L (L = CO (2), PPh₃ (4), (5)) and (N-vinylcarbazole)bisCr(CO)₃ (3), have been synthesized and isolated, wherein 2 could be converted into 3 under appropriate conditions. All compounds were characterized spectroscopically, and X-ray crystal structure analyses were performed for 2-4. The coordination-induced geometrical changes occur predominantly on the N-center and its attached double bond. PPh₃ replaces a CO group leading to the N-vinyl double bond length shortening from 1.274 (12) to 1.245 (9) Å. The distance of Cr from the carbazole plane, which allows estimates of the strength of the metal-ligand π-bonding, is shorter in 3 than in 2 as a result of an electronic communication between the two Cr(CO)₃ groups on each aryl ring of carbazole molecule. Electronic absorption and fluorescence spectral features of these complexes have been studied in terms of the electronic nature of the ligands. The change from 2 to 3 causes a subtle red-shift of the absorption bands due to the electronic transitions within dinuclear-carbazole ring system. The polymerization studies of these complexes under free-radical conditions lead to a better understanding of how the organometallic moiety affects the vinyl polymerization. The intriguing effect of the organometallic moiety on the intrachain excimer formation in the resultant polymers have been shown to be likely.     

Investigation of glass panels thickness profile by all-fiber digital heterodyne interferometry

All-fiber digital heterodyne interferometry is a laser metrology technique employing pseudo-random codes phase modulated onto an optical carrier signal. In this heterodyne interferometer system, the optical signal includes signal reflected and transmitted from the sample, respectively. Compared with the conventional heterodyne interferometry, this enhanced optical system has much higher measurement sensitivity, and can distinguish the signal which reflected from the front and the rear surface of the sample. Analysis and simulation for the digital heterodyne interferometry are presented. It takes approximately 4 s to scan the whole surface with the diameter of 300 mm. The thickness profile of the sample is obtained in the experiment. The discussion about the experiment is given finally.     

Simultaneous determination of galanthamine and lycorine in Lycoris radiata by a capillary electrophoresis with an electrochemiluminescence method

A novel capillary electrophoresis with electrochemiluminescence determination method was developed for the determination of two alkaloids based on the electrochemiluminescence signal enhancement effect of the tertiary amine group on tris(2,2′‐bipyridyl)ruthenium(II). A linear relationship between the electrochemiluminescence peak area and concentrations of galanthamine and lycorine in the range of 0.07 ～ 17 μg/mL and 0.07 ～ 18 μg/mL was obtained and the detection limit was 0.008 and 0.002 μg/mL, respectively. The method is selective, simple, and convenient. It had been successfully applied to the analysis of galanthamine and lycorine in Lycoris radiata samples purchased from a local market.     

Measurement and simulation of partial discharge in oil-paper insulation under the combined AC–DC voltage

Depending on unique operation characteristics for voltage applied on valve side winding of the converter transformers, it is extraordinarily significant to study the partial discharge (PD) behavior with oil-paper insulation under combined AC–DC voltage. Therefore, this paper investigated PD inception characteristics by pulse current methods with needle-plate electrode system under combined AC–DC voltage. Furthermore, 3D electric field distributions versus combined AC–DC voltage in different ratios were calculated by Finite Element Analysis (FEA). An experimental conclusion was drew that AC partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) in pure oil would decrease linearly with the DC component increasing but the inception voltage with oil-paper insulation appeared to be independent of DC voltage and dependent of AC voltage. And 3D electric field distribution deduced from simulation provided a supplementary proof on the experimental results. Moreover, high speed photography was used to capture emitted light produced by discharge, estimate streamer velocity (1.8 km/s) and record streamer initiation and propagation process in oil gap. Previous studies have shown that the prebreakdown phenomena involving the generation and propagation of vapor channels through the oil could be divided into a three-stage process.
