Physicochemical Studies on an All-Purpose Pesticide Spray Adjuvant-(APSA-80)

APSA-80, an useful pesticide spray adjuvant is a mixture of 2-[2-(4-nonylphenoxy) ethoxy] ethanol, 1-butanol and tall oil fatty acids. It is strongly surface active and can decrease the surface tension of water to ～20 mNm^?1 at its critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 0.006 g%. APSA-80 itself and its binary mixtures, (APSA-80 + water) and (APSA-80 + isopropylmyristate [IPM]) and ternary mixtures (APSA-80 + water +IPM) can undergo a number of physical changes with rise in temperature; the main changes are in color, turbidity and phases. The ternary mixtures of APSA-80/water/IPM with changing compositions can form mono-, bi-, and triphasic solutions as well as gels and viscous solutions. The gel and viscous phases show characteristic rheological properties of both shear thinning and thickening types. They also show permeation of hydrophilic and oleophilic dyes through them. SEM and optical microscopic measurements have shown interesting surface morphologies of the gels and their vertical projections in three-dimensional pictorial mode. Salts like LiCl, NaCl, KCl, CsCl, MgSO₄, and Al₂(SO₄)₃ can have both minor and major effects on the gel consistencies. The alkanols like ethanol, propanol, and isopropanol are also mild to fairly large gel influencing co solvents. The antibacterial properties of APSA-80 have been studied with two Gram positive bacteria and a yeast; the activities found were moderate.     

气驱油油气混相过程的界面传质特性及其分子机制

油气混相过程的界面传质特性对气驱提高原油采收率技术非常重要。本文针对吉林某油田的实际油组分,采用分子动力学模拟研究了气驱油过程,分析了不同气体和驱替压力下油气两相的状态变化以及界面特性,获得不同驱替气体的最小混相压力(MMP)。结果表明,随着驱替气体压力的升高,气相的密度逐渐增大,油相膨胀密度降低,气相与油相的混合程度增强,油气两相界面厚度增加,界面张力随之减小。同时发现,驱替相中二氧化碳浓度越高,在同等气体压力下,油气界面更厚,油气混合程度更高。纯CO₂驱油得到的MMP远远小于纯N₂驱油,当这两种气体摩尔比为1 : 1混合时MMP介于两种纯气体之间,说明要达到同样的驱油效果二氧化碳需要的压力更小。最后,本文从分子微观作用力角度解释了驱替气体不同时影响油气混相程度的机制,通过分子平均作用势曲线发现油相分子对CO₂的吸引力要大于N₂分子,因此CO₂分子更容易与油相混合,驱替效果更明显。     

Functional Properties and Molecular Degradation of Schizostachyum Brachycladum Bamboo Cellulose Nanofibre in PLA-Chitosan Bionanocomposites

The degradation and mechanical properties of potential polymeric materials used for green manufacturing are significant determinants. In this study, cellulose nanofibre was prepared from Schizostachyum brachycladum bamboo and used as reinforcement in the PLA/chitosan matrix using melt extrusion and compression moulding method. The cellulose nanofibre(CNF) was isolated using supercritical carbon dioxide and high-pressure homogenisation. The isolated CNF was characterised with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), FT-IR, zeta potential and particle size analysis. The mechanical, physical, and degradation properties of the resulting biocomposite were studied with moisture content, density, thickness swelling, tensile, flexural, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry, and biodegradability analysis. The TEM, FT-IR, and particle size results showed successful isolation of cellulose nanofibre using this method. The result showed that the physical, mechanical, and degradation properties of PLA/chitosan/CNF biocomposite were significantly enhanced with cellulose nanofibre. The density, thickness swelling, and moisture content increased with the addition of CNF. Also, tensile strength and modulus; flexural strength and modulus increased; while the elongation reduced. The carbon residue from the thermal degradation and the glass transition temperature of the PLA/chitosan/CNF biocomposite was observed to increase with the addition of CNF. The result showed that the biocomposite has potential for green and sustainable industrial application.     

PPDO/PLLA共混物的制备及其相容性

通过溶液共沉淀法制备了一系列不同组份比例的PPDO/PLLA共混物(Pw)。通过溶度参数、扫描电镜及差式扫描量热仪(DSC)研究了Pw的相容性。结果表明:PPDO与PLLA相容性差;Pw的脆断面扫描电镜图片显示,在不同共混比例下,PLLA在基体PPDO中成典型"海-岛"式分布,且当PLLA含量超过30%时,Pw中出现部分PLLA连续相。     

Miscibility of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) blends by transesterification

The effects of transesterification on the miscibility of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) were studied. Blends were obtained by solution precipitation at room temperature to avoid transesterification during blend preparation. The physical blends and transesterified products were analyzed by wide-angle x-ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. It was found that the physical blends are immiscible and when the extent of transesterification reaches 50% of the completely randomized state, independent of blend composition, the blends are not crystallizable and show a single glass transition temperature between those of starting polymers. The interchange reactions were significantly influenced by annealing temperature and time but negligibly by blend composition. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

PP／EPO共混体系混容性与结晶结构

WAXD方法测定表明PP/EPO共混体系的结晶度随EPO组份含量的增加而降低,晶胞参数与组份比无关,并计算了第二类晶格畸变。根据PP/EPO的DSC和扭辫实验得出在所有组成下PP/EPO共混体系是不相容的。但在非晶区可能部分相容。

Phase diagrams of the KF-K<Subscript>2</Subscript>TaF<Subscript>7</Subscript> and KF-Ta<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>5</Subscript> systems

The phase diagrams of the systems KF-K₂TaF₇ and KF-Ta₂O₅ were determined using the thermal analysis method. The phase diagrams were described by suitable thermodynamic model. In the system KF-K₂TaF₇ eutectic points at x _KF=0.716 and t=725.4°C and at x _KF=0.214 and t=712.2°C has been calculated. It was suggested that K₂TaF₇ melts incongruently at around 743°C forming two immiscible liquids. The system KF-Ta₂O₅ have been measured up to 8 mol% of Ta₂O₅. The eutectic point was estimated to be at x _KF∼0.9 and t∼816°C. The formation of KTaO₃ and K₃TaO₂F₄ compounds has been observed in the solidified samples.
