氟掺杂纳米 TiO2 薄膜的低温制备及其光催化性能

 以氟化铵为氟源, 采用水热法制得氟掺杂 TiO2 (FTO) 溶胶, 并通过浸渍提拉法在低温下制备了 FTO 薄膜. 其中在 120 oC 下水热处理 10 h 所得的 TiO2 溶胶制备的薄膜均匀透明, 具有较高的光催化活性. 氟掺杂后的 TiO2 晶粒尺寸并未发生明显变化, 但薄膜的光催化活性显著升高. F/Ti 摩尔比为 0.01 时, FTO 薄膜的光催化活性最高, 比 TiO2 薄膜的活性升高了 23%. X 射线光电子能谱结果表明, 氟掺杂 TiO2 中的氟离子存在晶格取代掺杂和表面化学吸附两种形式. 这两种氟离子的共同作用是 FTO 薄膜光催化活性升高的主要原因.

Flammability and thermal degradation of epoxy acrylate modified with phosphorus‐containing compounds

A series of UV‐curable flame retardant resins was obtained using epoxy acrylate (EA) modified with 1‐oxo‐4‐hydroxymethyl‐2,6,7‐trioxa‐1‐phosphabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (PEPA). The flammability was characterized by limiting the oxygen index (LOI), UL 94 and cone calorimeter, and the thermal degradation of the flame retardant resins was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and real time Fourier transform infrared (RTFTIR). The results indicated that the flame retardant efficiency increases and the heat release rate (HRR) decreases greatly with the content of PEPA. The TG data showed that the modified epoxy acrylates (MEAs) have lower initial decomposition temperatures and higher char residues than pure EA. The RTFTIR study indicates that the MEAs have lower thermal oxidative stability than the pure EA. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis,characterization, and degradation of poly(ethylene‐b‐ε‐caprolactone) diblock copolymer

Poly(ethylene‐b‐ε‐caprolactone) (PE‐b‐PCL) diblock copolymers were synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of ε‐caprolactone (CL) with α‐hydroxyl‐ω‐methyl polyethylene (PE‐OH) as a macroinitiator and ammonium decamolybdate (NH₄)₈[Mo₁₀O₃₄] as a catalyst. Polymerization was conducted in bulk (130–150°C) with high yield (87–97%). Block copolymers with different compositions were obtained and characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, MALDI‐TOF, SAXS, and DSC. End‐group analysis by NMR and MALDI‐TOF indicates the formation of α‐hydroxyl‐ω‐methyl PE‐b‐PCL. The PE‐b‐PCL degradation was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and alkaline hydrolysis. The PCL block was hydrolyzed by NaOH (4M), without any effect on the PE segment. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Thermal risk assessment and rankings for reaction hazards in process safety

Thermal degradation of copolymers, prepared from glycidyl methacrylate and acrylonitrile in varying molar ratios using 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator, was studied by thermogravimetry, derivative thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis and mass spectrometry. The fragmentation patterns in the mass-spectra were interpretable by comparison with the known degradation patterns of the related materials. Thermal kinetic parameters, including activation energies and order of reaction of the degradation of the prepared copolymers, were calculated from their thermoanalytical data. These parameters suggest an overall increase in thermal stability with increasing content of acrylonitrile in the copolymers.     

Thermal degradation of butyl acrylate-methyl acrylate-acrylic acid-copolymers

The thermal degradation of copolymers based on butyl acrylate-methyl acrylate-acrylic acid used as acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives, especially for bonding of plasticizer containing materials, has been investigated using thermogravimetry and pyrolysis-gas chromatography at 250°C. It was observed that during the pyrolysis of butyl acrylate-methyl acrylate-acrylic acid copolymers unsaturated monomers as methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate and butyl methacrylate were formed. During the side-chain butyl acrylate-methyl-acrylate-acrylic acid-copolymer degradation the presence of methyl alcohol and butyl alcohol was observed.
