Phase diagram of the ternary system NMMO/water/cellulose

The phase diagram of the system N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide(NMMO)/H₂O/cellulose has been measured at 80 °C by establishing a solubility map (observation of the mixtures under the microscope), by the analysis of coexisting phases and determining the critical point. These experiments manifest a continuous reduction of the two phase area existing for the subsystem H₂O/cellulose upon the addition of NMMO, where a weight fraction of NMMO in the mixed solvent exceeding 75 wt% is required for Solucell 400 to reach the critical composition. The critical cellulose concentration is only 0.34 wt%, i.e., more than an order of magnitude lower than for the solutions of typical vinyl polymers in mixed solvents. All experimental observations can be well modeled on the basis of composition dependent binary interaction parameters by means of recently established mixing rules. For the subsystems H₂O/cellulose and NMMO/water the corresponding data are known from independent earlier measurements. The adjustment of two parameters to the ternary phase diagram was required to obtain this information for NMMO/cellulose, the third binary subsystem.

Separation of systems based on uranium hexafluoride and some of halogen fluorides

The purpose of this paper is to present the results of the comprehensive study of the phase equilibriums liquid-solid and liquid-vapour in binary and ternary systems, formed by uranium hexafluoride, bromine trifluoride and iodine pentafluoride.Investigation of the phase equilibriums in condensed systems is done by methods of differential thermoanalysis and visual polythermal analysis. All systems belong to simple eutectics; formation of the compounds is not detected. For all systems under investigation diagrams of the phase equilibrium liquid-solid are plotted.Phase equilibriums liquid-vapour in studied systems were studied by statistical method. All systems are non-aseotropic. The article presents diagrams of the phase equilibrium liquid-vapour in binary systems, pressure of the saturated vapour dependences on liquid composition, surface of the boiling liquid and lines of the constant content of uranium hexafluoride and iodine pentafluoride in vapour phase of the ternary system UF₆-BrF₃-IF₅.

Structures, phase transitions and microwave dielectric properties of the 6H perovskites Ba3BSb2O9, B=Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba

We present a complete temperature-composition phase diagram for Ba₃BSb₂O₉, B=Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, along with their electrical behavior as a function of B. These compounds have long been recognized as 6H-type perovskites, but (with the exception of B=Mg) their exact structures and properties were unknown due to their low symmetries, temperature-dependent phase transitions, and difficulties in synthesizing pure samples. The full range of possible space group symmetries is observed, from ideal hexagonal P6₃/mmc to monoclinic C2/c to triclinic . Direct second-order transitions between these phases are plausible according to group theory, and no evidence was seen for any further intermediate phases. The phase diagram with respect to temperature and the effective ionic radius of B is remarkably symmetrical for B=Mg, Ca, and Sr. For B=Ba, a first-order phase transition to a locally distorted phase allows a metastable hexagonal phase to persist to lower temperatures than expected before decomposing around 600 K. Electrical measurements revealed that dielectric permittivity corrected for porosity does not change significantly as a function of B and is in a good agreement with the values predicted by the Clausius-Mossotti equation.     

Phase equilibria in systems Ce-M-Sb (M=Si, Ge, Sn) and superstructure Ce12Ge9−xSb23+x (x=3.8±0.1)

Phase relations in the ternary systems Ce-M-Sb (M=Si, Ge, Sn) in composition regions CeSb₂-Sb-M were studied by optical and electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron probe microanalysis on arc-melted alloys and specimens annealed in the temperature region from 850 to 200 °C. The results, in combination with an assessment of all literature data available, were used to construct solidus surfaces and a series of isothermal sections. No ternary compounds were found to form in the Ce-Si-Sb system whilst Ce₁₂Ge_9−xSb_23+x (3.3<x<4.2) and CeSn_xSb₂ (0.1<x<0.8) participate in phase equilibria in the composition region investigated. Crystallographic parameters for the ternary compound Ce₁₂Ge_9−xSb_23+x (x=3.8±0.1) were determined from X-ray single crystal and powder diffraction. For the binary system Ge-Sb a eutectic was defined L⇔(Ge)+(Sb) at 591.6 °C and 22.5 at%. Ge EPMA revealed a maximal solubility of 6.3 at% Ge in (Sb) at the eutectic temperature.     

Synthesis,electrochemical, in situ spectroelectrochemical and in situ electrocolorimetric characterization of new phthalocyanines peripherally fused to four flexible crown ether moieties

Novel Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) phthalocyanines with four peripheral 4-[methyleneoxy(18-crown-6)] groups have been synthesized via the cyclic tetramerization of 4-[{(18-crown-6)-yl}methyleneoxy]phthalonitrile and the corresponding metal salts (NiCl₂, Zn(CH₃COO)₂, CoCl₂ and CuCl₂). The thermal stabilities of the metal-free and metallophthalocyanine compounds were determined by thermogravimetric analysis. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed using elemental analysis, IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, UV–Vis and MS spectral data. Voltammetric and in situ spectroelectrochemical measurements show that while the cobalt phthalocyanine complex gives both metal-based and ring-based redox processes, the metal-free, nickel, zinc and copper phthalocyanines show only ring-based reduction and oxidation processes. An in situ electrocolorimetric method has been applied to investigate the color of the electro-generated anionic and cationic forms of the complexes.     

Reconstructing the geometric structure of a Riemannian symmetric space from its Satake diagram

The local geometry of a Riemannian symmetric space is described completely by the Riemannian metric and the Riemannian curvature tensor of the space. In the present article I describe how to compute these tensors for any Riemannian symmetric space from its Satake diagram, in a way that is suited for the use with computer algebra systems; an example implementation for Maple Version 10 can be found on . As an example application, the totally geodesic submanifolds of the Riemannian symmetric space SU(3)/SO(3) are classified.      

Topological realizations of ortho-projection graphs

We discuss the production of ortho-projection graphs from alternating knot diagrams, and introduce a more general construction of such graphs from “splittings” of closed, non-orientable surfaces. As our main result, we prove that this new topological construction generates all ortho-projection graphs. We present a minimal example of an ortho-projection graph that does not arise from a knot diagram, and provide a surface-splitting that realizes this graph.     

环型嵌段高分子的强分凝理论方法

环型嵌段高分子没有自由端,分相结构会存在两种嵌段共混相区,使经典的线型嵌段高分子强分凝理论不能适用.在强分凝极限下,推导了两个共混相区之间的界面能,并结合两端固定在不同界面上的链的拉伸能,从而建立了环型嵌段高分子的强分凝理论研究方法.将此理论应用于环型两嵌段高分子体系,发现环型链比等链长的线型链更难相分离,且相结构周期远小于线型链.这与自洽场理论的结果一致.将此理论应用于环型三嵌段高分子,发现三元相图中心附近出现多种无共混相区的砖块堆积结构,而在靠近相图边缘部分,即组分比例较不对称时,含共混相区的层状和柱状结构占优势.
