The sulfur reversion process in natural rubber in terms of crosslink density and crosslink density distribution

Unfilled natural rubber compounds composed of conventional (CV), semi-efficient (SEV), efficient (EV) and sulfur donor (SD) vulcanization systems were heat aged to promote sulfur reversion. Rheometry, hardness, strain-strain characteristics including Mooney-Rivlin analysis, equilibrium solvent swell and Double Quantum (DQ) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) were used to monitor crosslink density changes. A loss of crosslink density was observed by rheometry, C₁, equilibrium swelling and by DQ NMR as a function of cure extent. No chain scission reactions were operating in the time/temperature conditions used. All crosslink distributions were unimodal and the network homogeneity followed the order of EV > SD > SEV > CV. The crosslink distribution narrowed during the curing process for the CV and SEV systems. Non-oxidative maturation reactions were advantageous in promoting a more random distribution of crosslinks in the polymer matrix.

Conventional and ultrasound-assisted methods for extraction of bioactive compounds from red araçá peel (Psidium cattleianum Sabine)

The present study aimed to maximize the conventional extraction and compare it with the ultrasound-assisted method for extracting bioactive compounds obtained from the red araçá peel. The behavior of anthocyanins related to the pre-treatment of the vegetal matrix, employed solvent, extraction kinetics of both methods, the levels of total phenolic compounds, flavonoids and carotenoids, as well as the antioxidant activity were evaluated. The ultrasound-assisted extraction (40 KHz −154 W and 90 min) had an increase of 12% in the levels of anthocyanins (121.85 Eq. mg of cyanidin-3-glycoside/100 g of peel) and a 25% reduction in time extraction compared to conventional extraction by maceration (116.81 Eq. mg of cyanidin-3-glycoside/100 g of peel) using 90% ethanol, for 2 h, pH 1.5, at 40 °C and mass/volume ratio 1 g/10 mL). Analyses of the total phenolic compounds, flavonoids and carotenoids presented promising results for the ultrasound-assisted and conventional extractions, respectively. Analyzes of total phenolic compounds, flavonoids and carotenoids, show promising results for ultrasound-assisted extractions, respectively, indicating that red araçá is rich in bioactive compounds beneficial to human health, in addition to being considered natural pigments that can be used in food.

Electro chemical properties of porous PVdF-HFP membranes prepared with different nonsolvents

Porous poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) membranes were prepared by solvent–nonsolvent evaporation technique. Morphology and porosity of the membranes were varied with different nonsolvents and had an effect on electrochemical properties. The porous membranes were functionalized with different liquid electrolyte solutions such as p-toluene sulfonic acid/phosphoric acid/sulfuric acid. Maximum electrolyte uptake and minimal electrolyte leakage were tailored by the optimized porosity of the membranes. Thermal behavior obtained in this study ensures the complete evaporation of nonsolvents and ensures its thermal stability. The pTSA-activated PVdF-HFP/THF membrane exhibited high ionic conductivity of about 27.27 mS/cm and a lower methanol permeability in the range of 9.7 × 10⁻⁸ cm²/s. High compatibility between pTSA solution and porous PVdF-HFP polymer electrolyte membrane enhances its electro chemical behavior than that of conventional liquid electrolytes.     

动荷载作用下高速铁路风积土地基动力特性试验研究

根据辽西地区的地震资料和波速测试资料,通过动三轴试验,进行了地震冲击荷载和列车振动荷载两种动荷载作用下辽西风积土地基的动力特性试验研究。研究结果表明,风积土的动强度、动变形和动模量等指标与荷载类型、持续时间、振动频率和动应力幅值等条件有关。在地震荷载作用下,动荷载频率和动应力幅值越大、震动持续时间越长,其产生的动应变越大;在高速列车振动荷载作用下,土的动强度和动抗剪强度随振动次数的增加而降低;固结比相同时,动弹性模量Ed和动剪切模量Gd随固结压力的增大而增大;随动应变εd的增大而减小,且初始时刻减小速度明显,之后逐渐变缓。     

Hydrogen peroxide bleaching of cotton in ultrasonic energy

It is well known that, conventional hydrogen peroxide bleaching process is an important and a specific step for wet processors; however it has some problems such as long time, high energy consumption. On the other hand, using ultrasonic energy in bleaching is an alternative method for the conventional processes.

In this work, 100% cotton materials of different forms such as raw fibre, ring-spun yarns and knitted fabrics produced from these cottons, were treated with hydrogen peroxide in two different concentrations (5 mL/L and 10 mL/L), at three different temperatures (20 °C, 30 °C, 40 °C) and times (20 min, 30 min, 60 min). Whiteness Index of the samples were then measured spectrophotometrically and the overall results were compared.     

Calculation of triaxial superdeformation in <Superscript>174</Superscript>Hf

A two-dimensional Total Routhian Surface (TRS) calculation with the fixed hexadecapole deformation ε4 = 0.03 was carried out for several configurations of 174Hf. Results indicate that the shell corrections have an important contribution to the formation of triaxial superdeformation in 174Hf and some possible configuration assignments are made to the 4 TSD bands experimentally found in 174Hf.     

Periodic orbits around the collinear libration points in the restricted three body problem when the smaller primary is a triaxial rigid body and bigger primary is a source of radiation pressure

Periodic orbits belonging to the stromgren families A, B and C around the collinear libration points in the restricted three body problem have been studied when the smaller primary is a triaxial rigid body and more massive body is a source of radiation pressure. These families are determined in three different cases: (i) classical case, (ii) when bigger primary is a source of radiation pressure, (iii) when smaller primary is a triaxial rigid body and bigger primary is a source of radiation pressure. The Liapunov stability of each periodic solution has also been examined.
