Structure of Plastic Crystalline Succinonitrile: High‐Resolution in situ Powder Diffraction

The temperature dependent (150–290 K) crystal structure of the low‐temperature α‐phase, and high temperature β‐phase, of succinonitrile has been determined by high resolution in situ powder diffraction. The α‐phase has a monoclinic unit cell that contains four gauche molecules and belongs to the P2₁/a space group. The crystal undergoes a reversible first‐order phase transition at 233 K into the high temperature β‐phase. The lattice parameters increase with temperature and the phase transition leads to an abrupt 6.7 % increase in volume. The β‐phase crystallizes into a bcc‐structure that belongs to the space group. The high temperature phase; however, is a highly disordered plastic crystal at room temperature that contains both gauche and trans molecules. The non‐linearity in the overall isotropic temperature‐factor indicates other possible phase transitions in the temperature range of 233–250 K.     

Production of valuable hydrocarbons by catalytic degradation of a mixture of post-consumer plastic waste in a fluidized-bed reactor

A mixture of post-consumer plastic waste (PE/PP/PS/PVC) was pyrolyzed over various catalysts using a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process operating isothermally at ambient pressure. Experiments with various catalysts gave good yields of valuable hydrocarbons with differing selectivity in the final products dependent on reaction conditions. A model based on kinetic and mechanistic schemes for the observed products associated with chemical reactions and catalyst deactivation has been developed. The model gives a good representation of experimental results. It is also an improvement on the currently available empirical “lumping” techniques which are usually severely restricted in terms of product definitions. Additionally, this model represents the benefits of product selectivity for the chemical composition in relation to the effect of structurally different catalyst types, and the performance of the reaction temperature used as well as the particle size of the catalyst selected.     

Soft matter lithium salt electrolytes: ion conduction and application to rechargeable batteries

Abstract  Soft matter provides diverse opportunities for the development of electrolytes for all solid state lithium batteries. Here we review soft matter solid electrolytes for lithium batteriesthat are primarily obtained starting from liquid electrolytic systems. This concept of solid electrolyte synthesis from liquid is significantly different from prevalent approaches. The novelty of our approach is discussed in the light of various fundamental issues and in relation to its application to rechargeable lithium batteries. Graphical abstract   M. Patel and S. K. Das have contributed equally to the work.     

Effect of water absorption on the plastic deformation behavior of nylon 6

The tensile behavior of nylon 6 films has been investigated in relation to water content. Modification of chain mobility in the amorphous phase via water plasticization appears to have a determining impact on the stress-strain response. More specifically, both yield stress value and hardening behavior over a large strain domain are strikingly equivalent for samples drawn at same ΔT between draw temperature T_d and main amorphous relaxation temperature T_α. This apparent lack of thermal activation of crystal plasticity in the fibrillar transformation suggests that crystal block fragmentation proceeds via H-bond unzipping through water penetration at defective crystal interfaces.     

基于拉曼光谱的PE膜包装食用农产品品质检测误差的校正方法

透明保鲜膜包装以其方便、经济、卫生的特点被广泛应用于超市卖场及日常生活中,却也给食品农产品的检测增加了难度,所以急需一种能够隔透明薄膜无损检测农产品的方法。叶绿素是影响黄瓜品质的重要因素之一,该研究主要探讨了拉曼技术检测黄瓜品质时,食品保鲜膜层数对叶绿素特征峰的影响,并通过对菠菜、油菜和芹菜对得出的结论进行验证。采用点检测拉曼光谱系统,采集无保鲜膜包装以及多层包装下黄瓜的拉曼光谱。拉曼信号经Savitzky-Golay(SG) 5点平滑和自适应迭代惩罚最小二乘法扣除荧光背景,探究不同层数(1~6层)的PE保鲜膜对黄瓜叶绿素特征峰的影响。采集被保鲜膜覆盖的黄瓜的拉曼信号并处理,即可建立叶绿素的特征峰(1 158和1 528 cm-1)减少值与保鲜膜层数之间的变化规律,并对规律的预测效果进行评价。随着保鲜膜层数的增加,透明包装层数与黄瓜叶绿素特征峰强度之间呈现良好的线性相关关系。提取出单层透明包装对叶绿素在1 158和1 528 cm-1处特征峰强度的降低值分别为81.4和103.1,分别占未加保鲜膜时叶绿素特征峰强度值的7.98%和8.56%,多组验证结果的相关系数达到0.95以上,验证的相关系数达到0.94。随着样品浓度增高,线性递减效果越明显。作为验证,通过透明保鲜膜检测菠菜、油菜和芹菜叶片中的叶绿素表明,每加一层膜叶绿素在1 158和1 528 cm-1处的特征峰强度会比覆膜前分别降低7.9%～8.6%和8.1%～8.6%;导致检测信号强度呈线性降低是由于保鲜膜使激发光分散不聚焦导致,保鲜膜成分对检测结果无影响。该研究为拉曼光谱隔透明包装检测拉曼光谱特征峰强度,进而获得农产品品质信息提供了一种新的分析方法。     

Plastic scintillator for pulse shape neutrons and gamma quanta discrimination

This study describes a new plastic scintillator for pulse shape n-γ discrimination. The scintillator contains two activation centers with different life spans. The first activator collects the singlet excitation energy of a polymer base, and the second activator utilizes triplet excitation states. We utilized 1,4-dimethyl-9,10-diphenylanthracene (DMDPA) and tris(dibenzoylmethide) (1,10-phenanthroline)Europium(III) (Eu[DBM]₃Phen) as activators. The figure of merit for this scintillator is 1.37, which is sufficient for reliable n-γ discrimination.     

Dosimetric characterization of the Exradin W1 plastic scintillator detector through comparison with an in-house developed scintillator system

New commercial dosimetry systems need careful characterization and can benefit from the comparison with similar, in-house developed solutions. A comparison between such two dosimetry systems, both based on fibre-coupled organic plastic scintillator detectors, is presented. One system is the Exradin W1, fully commercialized by Standard Imaging, while the other system is the non-commercial ME40 system, developed by DTU Nutech with the aim of fundamental dosimetric research. Both systems employ plastic scintillator detectors that can be considered similar in design, calibrated using the same method, but differing primarily in the signal detection hardware. The two systems were compared with respect to essential dosimetric properties, with the purpose of testing their performance under conditions less well discussed in the literature. A Farmer ionization chamber was used as the primary reference of the comparison. The study demonstrated that the Cerenkov light ratio calibration coefficient of both systems was not constant, but changed systematically with photon beam quality to a maximum difference of 1.1%. Calibration with respect to stem effect correction should therefore be performed for every investigated beam quality when using plastic scintillator detectors. Both systems were found to be dose rate independent, even for the highest instantaneous dose rate evaluated (1.5 mGy per pulse). Low-dose measurements revealed large uncertainties for both systems, although the ME40 system handled short beam deliveries under reference conditions with accuracy and precision within 0.4%. Changes in response due to field size dependence were investigated and found to be as large as 3.3% for the W1 and 5.4% for the ME40, biasing output factor measurements in large fields. Great caution is therefore advised if using either system for measurements in large fields or under circumstances where the fibre irradiation geometry is unfavourable. Measurements of reference dose to water yielded differences up to 1.5% when compared with the Farmer ionization chamber for all investigated beam qualities.     

Selective thermal emission from a patterned metalized plastic

A high-throughput hot-embossing and metal-deposition fabrication process based on compact-disc manufacturing has been employed to produce Coupled Resonant Cavity (CRC) structures for directionally and spectrally selective thermal emission at infrared wavelengths. The CRC structures were fabricated by hot embossing poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrates, over which a layer of aluminum (Al) was deposited to support surface plasmons. The thermal emission behavior of the structures was predicted by Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA) of deposited metal profiles determined by the Blech model. It is shown that CRC structures which are initially under-imprinted may be brought to a resonant condition by increasing the metal deposition thickness, which is desirable for improving the thermal and mechanical properties of the structures. The primary source of deviation between the modeled and measured results was associated with surface curvature induced in the substrates during the fabrication process.
