Surface modification of highly dispersed rubber fillers and pigments by titanate proadhesive and hydrophobic compounds

A method of modifying silicate and carbonate fillers with titanate coupling agents and proadhesive agents was worked out. The modification aimed at hydrophobization of filler surface by introduction to the surface of functional groups with chemical affinity to polymers. Optimum amounts of modifying substances and appropriate conditions for performing the modification process were established. The obtained fillers showed a high degree of hydrophobicity.The modified fillers were applied in rubber mixtures based on butadienestyrene or natural rubber, in polyurethanes, in PVC, and as pigments in oil dyes of high corossive resistance.     

Ph2S2-CaH2 in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as an efficient protocol for chemoselective cleavage of aryl alkyl ethers

CaH₂ was been found, for the first time, as a mild reducing agent to generate thiophenolate anion from Ph₂S₂ in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) for deprotection of aryl alkyl ethers. Excellent chemoselctivity was observed for substrates having chloro and nitro groups without displacement of the chlorine atom and the nitro group. Selective ether cleavage took place in the presence of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl and nitro groups without reduction and conjugate addition (to the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group).

Lower rim substituted tert-butylcalix[4]arenes. Part 8: Calix[4]arenes with dialkoxyphosphoryl functions. Synthesis and complexing properties

New compounds: 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(3-diisopropoxyphosphorylpropoxy)calix[4]arene (1) and 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(3-methoxyethoxyphosphorylpropoxy)calix[4]arene (2) were synthesized and their ionophoric properties in ion-selective membrane electrodes were studied in comparison with already described by us 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetrakis(3-diethoxyphophorylpropoxy)calix[4]arene (3). Complexes of 1 with calcium(II), lanthanum(III), europium(III) and gadolinium(III) nitrates were prepared in direct reaction of the ligand and appropriate metal salts. They were characterized by spectral data (IR, UV/Vis, luminescence, NMR, ESI-MS) and elemental analysis. The similarity in complexing behavior of the (dialkoxyphosphoryl)propoxy-calix[4]arenes toward calcium and some lanthanides was observed.

Conductometric study of Bu4NClO4 in propylene carbonate-acetonitrile and propylene carbonate-toluene mixtures at 25°C

Conductometric measurements of tetrabutylammonium perchlorate in propylene carbonate-acetonitrile and propylene carbonate-toluene mixtures at 25°C are reported. Limiting molar conductances, association constants and distance of closest approach of ions are calculated. The experimental data were analyzed by means of the Lee-Wheaton equation. The Gilkerson's solvent-solute interaction energy term was calculated from a plot of association constant logarithmvs. reciprocal dielectric constant.     

Nanocrystalline Ce1−xYxO2−x/2 (0≤x≤0.35) Oxides via Carbonate Precipitation: Synthesis and Characterization

A novel carbonate (co)precipitation method, employing nitrates as the starting salts and ammonium carbonate as the precipitant, has been used to synthesize nanocrystalline CeO₂ and Ce_1−xY_xO_2−x/2 (x≤0.35) solid-solutions. The resultant powders are characterized by elemental analysis, differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetry (DTA/TG), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM). Due to the direct formation of carbonate solid-solutions during precipitation, Ce_1−xY_xO_2−x/2 solid-solution oxides are formed directly during calcination at a very low temperature of ∼300°C for 2 h. The thus-produced oxide nanopowders are essentially non-agglomerated, as revealed by BET in conjunction with XRD analysis. The solubility of YO_1.5 in CeO₂ is determined via XRD to be somewhere in the range from 27 to 35 mol%, from which a Y₂O₃-related type-C phase appears in the final product. Y³⁺-doping promotes the formation of spherical nanoparticles, retards thermal decomposition of the precursors, and suppresses significantly crystallite coarsening of the oxides during calcination. The activation energy for crystallite coarsening increases gradually from 68.7 kJ mol⁻¹ for pure CeO₂ to 138.6 kJ mol⁻¹ for CeO₂ doped with 35 mol% YO_1.5. The dopant effects on crystallite coarsening is elaborated from the view point of solid-state chemistry.

Promotion of Ionic Liquid to Dimethyl Carbonate Synthesis from Methanol and Carbcn Dioxide

Promotion of ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (emimBr), to the synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from methanol and carbon dioxide in the presence of potassium carbonate and less amount of methyl iodide under mild conditions was investigated. The results showed that the high selectivity and raised yield of DMC was achieved due to the addition of emimBr in the reaction system. And effect of several reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure and amount of emimBr was discussed.     

Isentropic partial molal compressibilities of alcohols in propylene carbonate at 25°C

The isentropic coefficients of compressibility of the homologous series of alcohols and diols R _n CH₂OH (n=2–6), CH₃CHOHR _n (n=1–5), 1,2-propanediol, 1,3- 1,4- and 2,3-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, and 1,7-heptanediol dissolved in propylene carbonate have been measured at 25°C. Isentropic partial molal compressibilities and group partial molal compressibilities at infinite dilution have been evaluated. The isentropic partial molal compressibilities of these alcohols and diols have been compared with the corresponding values in water. This comparison shows that the values in propylene carbonate are higher than in water by a factor of 10 due to an increased compressibility of the solvation sheath around nonpolar groups in PC.
