On the growth strain origin and stress evolution prediction during oxidation of metals

High temperature oxidation of metals leads to residual stresses in the metal and in the oxide. In this work, we try to predict the evolution of the residual stresses in the growing oxides layers, during isothermal oxidation. The origin of these stresses is based on the microstructural model of Clarke, however, another justification is proposed, assuming a proportional dependence of the growth strain with the oxide layer thickness. Using the mechanics of thin layers, as well as the analysis proposed to describe the growth strain, a system of equations are deduced that predict the stresses evolution with oxidation time. Numerical analysis is performed, leading to a set of theoretical curves.     

SIMS analysis of residual gas elements with a Cameca IMS-6f ion microprobe

In this paper, we present experimental data for SIMS analysis of residual gas elements (RGEs) with a Cameca IMS-6f ion microprobe. We considered a simple experimental technique, which provides an effective separation of the secondary ions, sputtered from the bulk of a target, and from the molecules, adsorbed on the analyzed surface from the residual atmosphere. The technique needs the sputtering yield of one monolayer (ML) per second to be applied. The method improves (in more than one order of magnitude) the detection limit for RGEs in SIMS analysis, and simultaneously, provides information about the residual atmosphere at the sample surface and in the main chamber of the experimental instrument. The method provides a calibration method for an ion gauge, and can be used for SIMS analysis with a gas (O₂) flooding.     

XPS investigations of ink‐jet printed paper

Different ink‐jet printed paper materials were investigated using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) yielding the elemental composition of the near‐surface region of the papers. We found significant differences with respect to the detected elements and their atomic concentrations in the different inks studied here. Two different groups of inks could be identified by means of a lower ratio of the O and C atomic concentrations and lower concentrations in specific trace elements like Mg, Na and Si. High‐resolution spectra of C 1s and O 1s core levels allowed a detailed determination of the chemical state of the respective elements. On the basis of a detailed deconvolution of these XPS signals, significant differences between all the investigated ink‐jet printed papers were found, thereby allowing their discrimination. The applicability of the measurements and, more generally, the XPS technique for forensic investigations of paper are discussed. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

以国产微晶纤维素膜作固体基质五种多环芳烃的室温磷光法研究

本文考察了10种国产纤维素膜用于多环芳烃固体基质室温磷光(SS-RTP)的可行性。实验表明:MN-C和MN-P两种型号的微晶纤维素膜用于多环芳烃的SS-RTP是适宜的。阴离子交换纤维素膜、CM-纤维素膜和聚酰胺-6膜也能诱导出多环芳烃的RTP来,但其性能逊于前两种。故本文应用MN-C和MN-P两种微晶纤维素膜基质考察了五种多环芳烃的RTP特征,并建立了它们的SS-RTP新方法。并与用滤纸作基质的实验结果进行了比较,表明两种新的固体基质的RTP性能优于滤纸基质。     

Comparison of the thermal behavior of three cellulose fibers mercerized or submitted to solar degradation

Comparison of Lyocell, modal and viscose fibers was performed by means of differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and scanning electron microscopy. Thermal analysis was performed in air atmosphere. Samples were mercerized (21.3 g 100 mL-1) or submitted to solar radiation (seven months). Solar degraded samples presents a higher thermal stability and are initially less degraded. Furthermore, Lyocell fiber is the most stable under thermal degradation conditions. Heating produces a reduction of the fiber diameter (about 50%). This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

The Influence of Cobalt (II) in Carboxymethyl Cellulose Processing

Controlling the reduction in molecular weight of the cellulose chains is essential in the production of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Such a reduction can be achieved by the addition of cobalt during the process of cobalt(II) ions, which act as a catalyst for oxidative cleavage, and the influence thereof has been studied under a variety of conditions. This study has resulted in a model that summarises the effects of the added amount of cobalt, the time for the cobalt reaction, the temperature in the mercerisation stage of the CMC-manufacturing process and finally the effect of the temperature in the etherification stage. It is shown that it is important for cobalt to be present during the mercerisation stage in order to achieve the desired viscosity.
