Curing Kinetics and Thermal Stability of Diglycidyl Ether of Bisphenol‐A Using Mixtures of Heterocyclic Derivatives of Stannanes and 4,4′‐Diaminodiphenylsulfone

Curing kinetics of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) in the presence of varying molar ratios of derivatives of stannanes to 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS) was investigated by the dynamic differential scanning calorimetry. The derivatives were synthesized by reacting 1 mole of biguanide (B) with 1 mole of phenylethyltindihydride (PETH) or phenylmethyltindihydride (PMTH) or phenylbutyltindihydride (PBTH) and designated as BPETH or BPMTH or BPBTH respectively. These derivatives were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques such as IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR. The mixtures of these derivatives to DDS at ratios of 0∶1, 0.25∶0.75, 0.5∶0.5, 0.75∶0.25 and 1∶0 were used to investigate the curing behaviour of DGEBA. The multiple heating rate method (5, 10, and 15 and 20 ℃•min^－1) was used to study the curing kinetics of epoxy resins. The thermal stability of the isothermally cured resins was also evaluated using dynamic thermogravimetry in a nitrogen atmosphere.     

ZnO/eosin-Y混合薄膜的生长机理和形态

Thin hybrid films of ZnO/eosin-Y were prepared by electrodeposition at-0.8 and-0.9 V in aqueous and non-aqueous baths at temperatures ranging from 40 to 90 ℃ with dye concentrations of 100 and 400 μmol·L-1.The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscopy (SEM),energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX),and absorption spectroscopy.The films prepared in a non-aqueous bath were non-porous and did not adsorb dye molecules on their surface.However,the films grown in aqueous media were porous in nature and adsorbed dye during the deposition of ZnO.Preferential growth of the film along the (002) face was observed,and the highest crystallinity was achieved when the film was deposited at 60 ℃.The maximum absorption was achieved for the films grown at 60 to 70 ℃,a deposition potential of-0.9 V,and a dye concentration of 100 μmol·L-1.     

硫酸存在时N-溴代苯二甲酰亚胺对甘露糖的胶束催化氧化

The kinetics of micellar-catalyzed oxidation of mannose by N-bromophthalimide was studied in the presence of sulfuric acid at 313 K. The orders of reaction with respect to [mannose], [oxidant], and [H+] were found to be fractional, first, and negative fractional order, respectively. Anionic micelles of sodiumdodecyl sulfate showed a partial inhibitory effect, while cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide increased the reaction rate with the same kinetic behavior. The reaction was catalyzed by cationic micelles, because of favorable electrostatic/thermodynamic/hydrophobic/hydrogen bonding between reactants and cationic micelles. Their catalytic roles are best explained by Berezin’s model. A variation of [phthalimide] showed that the rate of reaction decreased with increasing [phthalimide]. It was observed that, an increase of [mercuric acetate] had no effect on reaction velocity. The influence of salts on the reaction rate was also studied. The rate constant (kW ), binding constants (KS+KO), and corresponding activation parameters (Ea, ⊿H#, ⊿S#, and ⊿G#) were determined. A detailed mechanism with associated reaction kinetics is presented and discussed.     

Nuclear structure of 216 Ra at high spin

High-spin states of ²¹⁶Ra ( $\emph{Z}=88$ , $\emph{N}=128$ ) have been investigated through ²⁰⁹Bi(¹⁰B, 3n) reaction at an incident beam energy of 55?MeV and ²⁰⁹Bi(¹¹B, 4n) reaction at incident beam energies ranging from 65 to 78?MeV. Based on ??? coincidence data, the level scheme for ²¹⁶Ra has been considerably extended up to ~ 33 $\hbar$ spin and 7.2 MeV excitation energy in the present experiment with placement of 28 new ??-transitions over what has been reported earlier. Tentative spin-parity assignments are done for the newly proposed levels on the basis of the DCO ratios corresponding to strong gates. Empirical shell model calculations were carried out to provide an understanding of the underlying nuclear structure.
