Rubber blend/clay nanocomposites based on the 50/50 (wt %) natural rubber/butadiene rubber was prepared by the latex method via mixing the latex of 50/50 NR/BR blend with different amounts of the aqueous sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT) dispersion and co-coagulating the mixture. XRD and TEM were used to characterize structure of the nanocomposites. It was found that fully exfoliated structure could be obtained by this method only when the low loading of layered silicate (up to 5 phr) is used. With increasing the clay content, both non-exfoliated (stacked layers) and exfoliated structures can be observed simultaneously in the nanocomposites. Nanocomposites showed mechanical properties better than the clay-free volcanizate. Moreover, modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break and tear strength increased significantly by increasing the clay amount up to 5 phr and then remained almost constant by further increasing the clay content. Improvement in the mechanical properties by increasing the clay loading up to 5 phr was attributed to the nano-reinforcement effect of Na-MMT. TGA results indicated an improvement in the main decomposition temperature by increasing the clay amount. 相似文献
A simple and efficient synthesis of pentasubstituted pyrroles has been developed using a one-pot, two-step reaction. The synthesis of a series of 4-hydroxypenta-1,3-diene-tricarboxylates from alkyl acetoacetates and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of K2CO3, followed by cyclization with amines, gave the corresponding pyrroles in excellent yields. 相似文献
For the first time, a polypyrrole–carbon nanotubes–silicon dioxide composite film coated on a steel wire was prepared by an electrochemical method. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that this composite film was even and porous. The prepared fiber was used as an absorbent for the headspace solid‐phase microextraction of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o‐xylene, followed by gas chromatographic analysis. This method presented an excellent performance, which was much better than that of a polypyrrole–carbon nanotube fiber. It was found that under the optimized conditions, the linear ranges were 0.01–200 ng/mL with correlation coefficients >0.9953, the detection limits were 0.005–0.020 ng/mL, the relative standard deviations were 3.9–6.4% for five successive measurements with a single fiber, and the reproducibility was 5.5–8.5% (n = 3). Finally, the developed method was successfully applied to real water samples, and the relative recoveries obtained for the spiked water samples were from 91.0 to 106.7%. 相似文献

This study has concerned the development of polymer composite electrolytes based on poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) reinforced with calcinated Li/titania (CLT) for use as an electrolyte in electrochemical devices. The primary aim of this work was to verify our concept of applying CLT-based fillers in a form of nano-backbone to enhance the performance of a solid electrolyte system. To introduce the network of CLT into the PVB matrix, gelatin was used as a sacrificial polymer matrix for the implementation of in situ sol–gel reactions. The gelatin/Li/titania nanofiber films with various lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) and titanium isopropoxide proportions were initially fabricated via electrospinning, and ionic conductivities of electrospun nanofibers were then examined at 25 °C. In this regard, the highest ionic conductivity of 2.55 × 10−6 S/cm was achieved when 10 wt% and 7.5 wt% loadings of LiClO4 and titania precursor were used, respectively. The nanofiber film was then calcined at 400 °C to remove gelatin, and the obtained CLT film was then re-dispersed in solvated PVB-lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (PVB-LiTFSI) solution before casting to obtain reinforced composite solid electrolyte film. The reinforced composite PVB polymer electrolyte film shows high ionic conductivity of 2.22 × 10−4 S/cm with a wider electrochemical stability window in comparison to the one without nanofillers.

Here, polymelamine formaldehyde was decorated on the surface of reduced graphene oxide whose surface was then electrodeposited with a sub-monolayer of platinum nanoparticles. The nanocomposite thus prepared was characterized using several spectroscopic methods. Using the nanocomposite as a potential electrocatalyst for carbon dioxide reduction, the products were detected by Raman spectroscopy, gas chromatography, 13C-NMR spectroscopy, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The analytical results identified methanol as the main product of CO2 reduction. Moreover, analysis of the liquid products confirmed methanol as the predominant product with a current density of 0.4 mA/cm and a Faradaic efficiency of 93 %. 相似文献

We report on conductometric study of complexation between benzylbisthiosemicarbazone [(2E,2′E)-2,2′-(1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diylidene)bis(hydrazine-1-carbothioamide)] with Zn2+, Cr3+, Co2+, and Ni2+ cations at different temperatures in acetonitrile-dimethylformamide binary solvents of varied composition. The equilibrium constant and standard thermodynamic parameters (ΔcH0 and ΔcS0) of the complexes formation have been determined and found to be dependent on the binary solvent composition, the metal ion nature, and temperature. 相似文献
