泡沫流体的剪应力与法向应力差

本文在同时考虑表面张力与粘性力的情况下,以三维模型—长菱形十二面体及泡沫的应力张量表达式为基础,得出了泡沫的剪应力及法向应力差表达式,并通过计算机进行了求解,讨论了泡沫粘度、泡沫大小等因素对剪应力及法向应力差的影响。 实验使用了 RMS-605 大型流交仪、RV-2 流变仪及毛细管流变仪测定泡沫流变特性。消除了表面滑移影响后得到的剪应力与法向应力表数据与理论结果较接近,说明理论模型具有一定的实用价值。

单油酸三羟甲基丙烷酯改性水性聚氨酯

利用单油酸三羟甲基丙烷酯(TMPM)、异佛尔酮二异氰酸酯(IPDI)和聚氧化丙烯(PPG)等制备水性聚氨酯。采用透射电镜(TEM)、动态激光光散射(DLLS)、红外光谱(FT-IR)、热重分析(TGA)和表面张力仪表征了乳液胶束形态、产物结构及性能。结果表明:水性聚氨酯(PU)分子上引入脂肪侧链容易在水中形成规整的胶束,但TMPM改性的水性聚氨酯胶束粒径随TMPM含量的增加不断增大,当w(TMPM)=0.07时,乳液不稳定;脂肪侧链的引入降低了水性聚氨酯乳液的表面张力,表面张力随着反应体系中—NCO和—OH摩尔比的增大而降低,随交联度的增大先增加后减小;TMPM的引入可以提高胶膜的热稳定性。     

Simultaneous Determination of Cadmium,Lead, Copper and Mercury Ions Using Organofunctionalized SBA‐15 Nanostructured Silica Modified Graphite–Polyurethane Composite Electrode

A new sensor has been developed for the simultaneous detection of cadmium, lead, copper and mercury, using differential pulse and square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV and SWASV) at a graphite–polyurethane composite electrode with SBA‐15 silica organofunctionalized with 2‐benzothiazolethiol as bulk modifier. The heavy metal ions were preconcentrated on the surface of the modified electrode at ?1.1 V vs. SCE where they complex with 2‐benzothiazolethiol and are reduced to the metals, and are then reoxidized. Optimum SWASV conditions lead to nanomolar detection limits and simultaneous determination of Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Hg²⁺ in natural waters was achieved.     

Preparation and properties of PU/MCMMT nanocomposites

The cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was used as a swelling agent to be intercalated into the galleries of the montmorillonite (MMT) platelets to get the organic MMT (CMMT). Then 4,4′‐diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) were grafted on CMMT by the reaction between hydroxyls in organic MMT platelets and MDI to synthesize the MDI modified CMMT (MCMMT). Polyurethane (PU)/MCMMT composites were prepared by situ polymerization. The MCMMT platelets dispersed in a PU matrix in nanometer scale. The dispersion and intercalation degree of the MCMMT platelets decreased with increase in the content of MCMMT. Under the same content of fillers, the tensile strength and tear strength of PU/MCMMT nanocomposites were higher than those of PU/organic MMT nanocomposites. The reinforcing effect of the MCMMT platelets to the PU was better than that of the organic MMT platelets. With increase in the content of MCMMT, the tensile strength and tear strength of the PU/MCMMT nanocomposites were increased, while the extent of the increase slowed down. Compared with those of PU, the thermal stability of PU/MCMMT nanocomposites was increased. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Efficient One-Step Passivation of Polyurethane Using Transurethanization

The uncontrolled accumulation of biological materials on the surface of medical devices through protein adsorption or cell adhesion causes adverse biological reactions in the living host system, leading to complications. In this study, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is successfully grafted onto polyurethane (PU) surfaces by using a new strategy through a simple and efficient transurethanization reaction. The PEG hydroxyl group is deprotonated and then reacted with the PU surface to provide antiadhesive hydrophilic surfaces in a single step. Surface analysis techniques proved the grafting to be efficient and the formation of a hydrophilic polymeric layer at the surface of PU. Biological assays showed that the surface modification induced lower protein adsorption, cell, platelet, and bacterial adhesion than untreated surfaces, showing a potential for biomedical applications.     

Study of a novel porous gel polymer electrolyte based on TPU/PVdF by electrospinning technique

Investigation on a new electrospun gel polymer electrolyte consisting of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVdF) has been made. Its characteristics were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR, Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) analysis. This kind of gel polymer electrolyte had a high ionic conductivity about 3.2 × 10^− 3 S cm^− 1 at room temperature, and exhibited a high electrochemical stability up to 5.0 V versus Li⁺/Li, good mechanical strength and stability to allow safe operation in rechargeable lithium-ion polymer batteries. A Li/GPE/LiFePO₄ cell delivered a high discharge capacity when it was evaluated at 0.1 °C—rate at 25 °C (167.8 mAh g^− 1). And a very stable cycle performance also existed under this low current density.     

TiO2 thick films supported on reticulated macroporous Al2O3 foams and their photoactivity in phenol mineralization

TiO₂ thick films deposited on macroporous reticulated Al₂O₃ foams with pore size of 10 ppi and 15 ppi were prepared using dip coating from slurries of Aeroxide^® P25 nanopowder and precipitated titania. All prepared films have sufficiently good adhesion to the surface of the substrate also in case of strongly cracked films. No measurable release of deposited TiO₂ after repeated photocatalytic cycles was observed. The photocatalytic activity was characterized as the rate of mineralization of aqueous phenol solution under irradiation of UVA light by TOC technique. The best activity was obtained with Aeroxide^® P25 coated Al₂O₃ foam with the pore size of 10 ppi, annealed at 600 °C. The optimal annealing temperature for preparation of films from precipitated titania could be determined at 700 °C. Films prepared by sol-gel deposition technique were considerably thinner compared to coatings made of suspensions and their photocatalytic activity was significantly smaller.     

Preserving the activity of cellulase in a batch foam fractionation process

Foam fractionation isone of the low operating-cost techniques for removing proteins from a dilute solution. The initial bulk solution pH and air superficial velocity play an importantrole in the foam-fractionation process. Denaturation of proteins (enzymes) can occur, however, during the foamfractionation process from the shear forces resulting from bursting air bubbles. At the extreme bulk solution pHs (lower than 3.0 and higher than 10.0), the en zymatic activity of cellulase in the foamate phase drops significantly. Within these two pH boundsan increase in the air superficial velocity, V_o, and a decrease in the bulk solution pH leads to a decrease in the separation ratio (SR), defined as theratio of the protein concentration in the foamate to the protein concentration in the residue. On the other hand, an increase in V_o provides a higher foamate-protein recovery. The process efficiency is defined as the product of foamate-protein recovery times the SR times the cellulase activity. The optimal operating condition of the cellulase foamfractionation process is taken into account at the maximum value of the processefficiency. In this study, that optimal condition is atan air superficial velocity of 32 cm/min and a bulk-solution pH of 10.0. At this condition, the recovered foamate is about 80% of the original protein mass, the SR is about 12, and the en zymatic activity is about 60% of the original cellulase activity.
