Preparation and Properties of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)/Near Infrared Reflective Pigment (NIR) Composites

A near infrared reflective (NIR, nickel antimony titanium yellow rutile) pigment filler was incorporated into a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) matrix via a melt blending approach to increase the infrared reflection of PET and limit the thermal heat accumulation in light of environmental and energy conservation concerns. Two different types of surface modifiers, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), were used to modify the NIR surface, as NIR–PEG and NIR–CTAB fillers, to investigate the surface modification effect. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), a Zetasizer, and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) results suggested a successful adsorption of the organic modifiers onto the NIR surface. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated a higher adsorption degree for the CTAB modifier than the PEG modifier due to the electronic interaction between CTAB and NIR. The thermal crystallization temperature (T_c) for neat NIR-filled samples decreased with increasing NIR content within the PET matrix at first, up to 9°C, but then tended to increase again up to a measurable difference of 6°C with respect to pure PEG, indicating the promotion of the crystallization kinetics of the neat NIR within the PET matrix. On the other hand, a decrease in T_c for all NIR-CTAB or NIR-PEG loadings was found, with the depression close to 10°C for all NIR-CTAB samples regardless of the loading. CTAB modified NIR gave the highest improvement in tensile strength and strain at break in comparison with NIR and NIR-PEG filled samples. The near infrared reflection values of modified PET were higher than those of neat PET. The reflection values appeared to be the highest for some concentrations of the NIR-CTAB filled samples, but were of similar orders of magnitude with those for NIR or NIR-PEG filled samples.

A Shell-by-Shell Approach for Synthesis of Mesoporous Multi-Shelled Hollow MOFs for Catalytic Applications

Over the past two decades, advanced materials with hollow interiors have received significant attention in materials research owing to their great application potential across a vast number of technological fields. Though with great difficulty, multi-shelled hollow metal–organic frameworks (MSHMs) have also been successfully synthesized in recent years. Herein, a rational shell-by-shell soft-templating protocol has been devised to fabricate highly uniform multi-shelled hollow cobalt-imidazole-based MOF (ZIF-67). For the first time, it has become possible to endow mesoporosity to this new type of functional material (i.e., mesoporous MOFs). When used as carrier materials in catalytic reactions, in principle, these mesoporous MSHMs with high surface area not only improve the dispersity of metal nanoparticles (NPs), but also efficiently facilitate the mass diffusion of the reactions, resulting in enhanced catalyst activity. Moreover, the obtained MSHMs/M nanocomposites serve as base-metal bifunctional catalysts for one-pot oxidation-Knoevenagel condensation cascade reaction, in which the MSHMs itself serves as a pristine active catalyst in addition to its role of catalyst support. The results demonstrate that excellent multifunctional catalysts can be achieved via preparing intrinsically microporous bulk MOFs into extrinsically mesoporous MSHMs which possess many structural merits that conventional bulk MOFs do not have.     

Effects on the evolution of microstructure and properties of low-silicon cast aluminum alloys in service

ABSTRACT

The microstructure evolution and property change of four kinds of low silicon cast aluminum alloy exposed to heat for 0–50?h at 200°C were studied by means of Brinell hardness test, tensile property test, friction and wear property test and XRD analysis. The results show that with increasing thermal exposure time, the tensile strength of each group of samples decreased and the amount of wear increased. The tensile strength of samples with more Si content decreased slowly. When the time increased to 50?h, the increase of wear loss was the largest. The hardness of samples after thermal exposure increases compared with that before thermal exposure. The residual stress of (311) diffraction crystal surface of AlSi3.5Mg0.66 under different thermal exposure time was measured. The type of residual stress changed from residual tensile stress to residual compressive stress after thermal exposure. There is an abnormal phenomenon that the hardness of the sample increased and the amount of wear increased, and it is evident that the distribution of residual stress was inhomogeneous after thermal exposure. It is found that with increasing thermal exposure time to 50?h, the average lattice distortion ε of the low-index crystal plane and the high-index crystal plane in the aluminum alloys gradually increased.
