Estimation of interaction energies by the critical molecular weight method: 2. Blends with polysulfones

The interaction energies between PS, Pα-MS, and PMMA, as well as acrylonitrile and maleic anhydride units, with a series of polysulfones were quantitatively determined from oligomer/oligomer, oligomer/homopolymer, and homopolymer/copolymer blends. Interaction energies were calculated from the Flory-Huggins theory and the Sanchez-Lacombe equation of state theory using experimental cloud points or miscibility boundaries. Alkyl addition to the phenyl rings of polysulfone is favorable for miscibility with polystyrene whereas halogenation of the bisphenol connector unit favors miscibility with poly(methyl methacrylate). Interaction energies are quantitatively ranked and described qualitatively in terms of changes in the electronic charge distribution of the polymer repeat units as calculated by SYBYL software. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

ASA/SEBS/paraffin composites as phase change material for potential cooling and heating applications in building

Phase change material (PCM) is able to melt and crystalize with a high heat of phase change at constant temperature, which provides new and green cooling and heating strategies for buildings. In this work, PCMs for buildings composed of acrylonitrile‐styrene‐acrylate copolymer (ASA), polystyrene‐b‐poly(ethylene/butylene)‐b‐polystyrene triblock copolymer (SEBS) and paraffin were fabricated by melt blending. The results of the accelerated leakage test indicated an excellent ability of PCMs to keep paraffin from leakage. Thermal properties suggested that the phase change enthalpy of PCMs increased with the increasing content of paraffin and their phase change temperature was close to the comfortable sensible temperature of human body, which made it quite suitable for building cooling and heating. Besides, PCMs presented excellent stability and reusability after several thermal cycling tests. The temperature test conducted with self‐designed cylindrical devices gave a more sufficient and direct demonstration of the cooling and heating effect. Remarkably, excellent cooling and heating performance (both as high as 15°C) of the composites could be obtained with the addition of paraffin. And the time span of the cooling and heating process was as long as 5 and 7.5 hours, respectively. Owing to its excellent cooling and heating capabilities, the ASA/SEBS/paraffin composites are of great potential to be applied in building temperature control.     

Transport properties of crosslinked acrylonitrile butadiene rubber/poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate) blends

The diffusion and transport of organic solvents through crosslinked nitrile rubber/poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate) (NBR/EVA) blends have been studied. The diffusion of cyclohexanone through these blends was studied with special reference to blend composition, crosslinking systems, fillers, filler loading, and temperature. At room temperature the mechanism of diffusion was found to be Fickian for cyclohexanone–NBR/EVA blend systems. However, a deviation from the Fickian mode of diffusion is observed at higher temperature. The transport coefficients, namely, intrinsic diffusion coefficient (D*), sorption coefficient (S), and permeation coefficient (P) increase with the increase in NBR content. The sorption data have been used to estimate the activation energies for permeation and diffusion. The van't Hoff relationship was used to determine the thermodynamic parameters. The affine and phantom models for chemical crosslinks were used to predict the nature of crosslinks. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical predictions. The influence of penetrants transport was studied using dichloromethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 37: 1815–1831, 1999     

Ring‐banded spherulite surface structure of poly(ε‐caprolactone) in its miscible mixtures with poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile)

The surface structure of the ring‐banded spherulites in polymer blends PCL/SAN (90/10) was studied by optical microscopy, SEM, and TEM, respectively. It is interesting to find that the surface structure of the ring‐banded spherulites in polymer blends PCL/SAN (90/10) is made up of the convex bands. The landscape of the convex bands on the surface has been little emphasized before. Radial fibrils are arranged on the bands. Details of the radial fibrils on the bands can be observed by TEM. The landscape of the convex bands on the surface and twisting of lamellae in the convex bands for PCL/SAN blends may be useful to explain the formation mechanism of the ring banded spherulites in polymer blends or even in homopolymers. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Complex‐radical terpolymerization of acceptor–donor–acceptor systems: Maleic anhydride (n‐butyl methacrylate)–styrene–acrylonitrile

Some features of radical ternary copolymerization of maleic anhydride (MA)–styrene (St)–acrylonitrile (AN) and n‐butyl methacrylate (BMA)–St–AN acceptor–donor–acceptor monomer systems have been revealed. The terpolymer compositions and kinetics of copolymerizations were studied in the initial and high conversion stages. The considerable divergence in the copolymer compositions was observed when a strong acceptor MA monomer was substituted with BMA having comparatively low acceptor character in the ternary system studied. Obtained results show that terpolymerization proceeded mainly through “complex” mechanism in the state of near binary copolymerization of St…MA (or BMA) and AN…St complexes only in the chosen ratios of complexed monomers. The terpolymers synthesized have high thermal stabilities (295–325 °C), which is explained by possible intermolecular fragmentation of AN‐units through cyclization and crosslinking reactions during thermotreatment in the isothermal heating conditions. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

离子液体催化丙烯腈氯化合成2,3-二氯丙腈

 Ionic liquids formed by imidazolium and pyridinium cations with Cl-, Br-, BF-4, and PF-6 anions were used for the catalytic synthesis of 2,3-dichloropropionitrile by the chlorination of acrylonitrile. The ionic liquids containing Cl- and Br- show good catalytic properties. The Cl- and Br- ions act as strong Lewis bases and molecular chlorine is activated by the induction effect of Cl- and Br-. Due to the stronger steric hindrance effect of the BF-4 and PF-6 anions, the chlorination of acrylonitrile is limited in the ionic liquids containing BF-4 and PF-6 anions.

Rapid detection of compositional drift of polydisperse copolymers using thermal field-flow fractionation and multi-angle light scattering

Summary The use of thermal field-flow fractionation (ThFFF) with multi-angle light scattering (MALS) for the rapid detection of compositional heterogeneity in random copolymers is demonstrated. Soret coefficients were directly calculated from the ThFFF retention times while the MALS detector provided the polymer's radius of gyration (R _g) distribution. FromR _g, the diffusion coefficient (D) could be calculated and this allowed, in combination with the Soret coefficient, the calculation of the thermal diffusion coefficient (D _T). It was shown that theD _T distribution can serve as a measure for the chemical composition distribution of random styrene acrylonitrile copolymers. Comparison of ThFFF-MALS results with literature data from ThFFF-hydrodynamic chromatography (HDC) cross-fractionation experiments showed a fair agreement.     

镧系元素对Pd/Al2O3的修饰及其与丙烯腈气相加氢的关联

用浸渍法制备了镧系元素(Ce,La,Sm)修饰的低负载Pd(0.05 w.t%)/A l2O3催化剂,并应用于丙烯腈选择性加氢反应,实验结果表明:这种方法制备的催化剂对丙烯腈具有很好的选择性,镧系元素的添加大大促进了催化剂的活性和稳定性。XRD的测试结果表明稀土元素铈的添加减弱了Pd和载体A l2O3之间的相互作用,从而导致了Pd从载体表面游离出来。从TEM照片上可以看出催化剂颗粒尺寸的变化。XPS的测试结果表明用镧系元素修饰的Pd的结合能向较高能级发生了转移,从而使得钯被还原为零价。
