Chemical Speciation of Amphoteric Ions on Semi‐Dry Scrubber Residue and Bag‐House Ash from MSWI

Two series of size‐fractionated combusted residues, a bag‐house ash and a scrubber residue, from a municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) were prepared and extracted by means of sequential chemical extraction (SCE) procedures proposed by Tessier. Concentrations of water‐soluble phase, exchangeable phase, carbonated phase, Fe/Mn oxide phase, organic matter phase, and residual phase bound amphoteric metals (Pb and Zn) were obtained, and have been compared with those of single batch extraction of toxic characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP). In each size fraction of baghouse ash or scrubber residue, lead or zinc shows a common phenomena that the TCLP value is always lower than the content of the water‐soluble fraction. For lead, baghouse ash has a significant size‐dependent distribution on the water‐soluble phase to perform a size‐dependent test of lead in the TCLP test. The zinc TCLP data having less size dependence might be due to that neither the baghouse ash nor the scrubber residue has a size‐dependent distribution on the water‐soluble zinc phase.     

Fabricating blazing grating on NGD by photochemical etching

This paper tries to introduce the reader to the method of using photochemical re-action to copy holographic optical elements(HOEs)in relief.The holographic blazing gratingso copied is groove depth adjustable phase modulability enlarged through copying and 3.3times the diffraction efficiency(DE)of the original grating.It is expected that the newmethod will lead to the mass production of the light-weight HOEs at low cost.

The innovation research of financial early-warning index measurement

The period economic fluctuation is vital for an enterprise to exist and further develop,it directly affect the enterprise financial health.So,it is significant to build up financial early-warning index and measure the warning condition that the enterprise faces and take the effective measures to eliminate. We criticize Altman's Z calculating model and build up some new indexes for enterprise financial early-warning condition measuring and making sound decision.     

Diffusion study of multi-organic layers in OLEDs by ToF-SIMS

A model organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with structure of tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq₃)/N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis[1-naphthy-(1,1′-diphenyl)]-4,4′-diamine (NPB)/indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass was fabricated for diffusion study by ToF-SIMS. The results demonstrate that ToF-SIMS is capable of delineating the structure of multi-organic layers in OLEDs and providing specific molecular information to aid deciphering the diffusion phenomena. Upon heat treatment, the solidity or hardness of the device was reduced. Complicated chemical reaction might occur at the NPB/ITO interface and results in the formation of a buffer layer, which terminates the upper diffusion of ions from underlying ITO.     

Enhanced hardness in B-doped ZnO thin films on fused quartz substrates by pulsed-laser deposition

B-doped ZnO thin films have been fabricated on fused quartz substrates using boron-ZnO mosaic target by pulsed-laser deposition technique, and the mechanical properties have been studied by nanoindentation continuous stiffness measurement technique and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Nanoindentation measurement revealed that the hardness of B-doped ZnO films, 9.32 ± 0.90 to 12.10 ± 1.00 GPa, is much greater than that of undoped ZnO films and very close to that of traditional semiconductor Si. The mean transmittance (%) is larger than 81% in the visible range (380-780 nm) for all the films, and the Hall effect measurement showed that the carrier density is around 2 × 10²⁰ cm⁻³ and the resistivity lower than 3 × 10⁻³ Ω cm. TEM characteristics show undoped thin films have more amorphous area between grains while the B-doped ZnO films have thin grain boundaries. We suggest that the grain boundaries act as the strain compensation sites and the decrease in thickness of grain boundaries enhances the hardness of the B-doped ZnO films.

Effects of the architecture and environment on polymeric molecular assemblies of novel amphiphilic diblock copolynorbornenes with narrow polydispersity via living ring‐opening metathesis polymerization

Diblock copolymers of 5‐(methylphthalimide)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept‐2‐ene (NBMPI) and 1,5‐cyclooctadiene were synthesized by living ring‐opening metathesis polymerization with a well‐defined catalyst {RuCl₂(CHPh)[P(C₆H₁₁)₃]₂}. Unhydrogenated diblock copolymers showed two glass transitions due to poly(NBMPI) and polybutadiene segments, such as two glass‐transition temperatures at ?86.5 and 115.3 °C for poly 1a and ?87.2 and 115.3 °C for poly 1b . However, only one melting temperature could be observed for hydrogenated copolymers, such as 119.8 °C for poly 2a and 121.7 °C for poly 2b . The unhydrogenated diblock copolymer with the longer poly(NBMPI) chain (poly 1a ; temperature at 10% mass loss = 400 °C) exhibited better thermal stability than the one with the shorter poly(NBMPI) chain (poly 1b ; temperature at 10% mass loss = 385 °C). Two kinds of hydrogenated diblock copolymers, poly 2a and poly 2b , exhibited relatively poor solubility but better thermal stability than unhydrogenated diblock copolymers because of the polyethylene segments. Poly[(hydrochloride quaternized 2‐norbornene‐5‐methyleneamine)‐b‐butadiene]‐1 (poly 3a ) was obtained after the hydrolysis and quaternization of poly 1a . Dynamic light scattering measurements indicated that the hydrodynamic diameters of the cationic copolymer (poly 3a ) in water (hydrodynamic diameter = 1580 nm without salt), methanol/water (4/96 v/v; hydrodynamic diameter = 1500 nm without salt), and tetrahydrofuran/water (4/96 v/v; hydrodynamic diameter = 1200 nm without salt) decreased with increasing salt (NaCl) concentration. The effect of temperature on the hydrodynamic diameter of hydrophobically modified poly 3a was also studied. The inflection point of the hydrodynamic diameter of poly 3a was observed at various polymer concentrations around 30 °C. The critical micelle concentration of hydrophobically modified poly 3a was observed at 0.018 g dL^?1. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 2901–2911, 2006
