Conductive polyethylene-carbon black composites by elongational-flow injection molding Part 3. Study of the structure and morphology

The morphology and structure of high molecular weight linear polyethylene (M _w 450000) filled with carbon black and processed using molds that introduce an elongational flow component during injection molding has been examined using electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction techniques. The study of fracture surfaces reveals the display of shish-kebabs oriented along the injection direction with segregated longitudinal channels of carbon black particles. Molecular and lamellar changes in orientation are, furthermore, studied across the thickness of the moldings. It is shown that addition of carbon black particles to injection-molded polyethylene induces significant changes in lamellar orientation. Thus, while lamellar overgrowth proceeds perpendicular to the fiber axes within carbon free channels, lamellae grow randomly within carbon-enriched regions where flow is less pronounced.

Characterization of Ultrathin Films of Cellulose Esters

The adsorption of cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) and cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) from solutions prepared in acetone onto silicon wafers led to ultrathin films, which were characterized by ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements. The polysaccharides films were characterized in the air just after their formation and after annealing at temperatures higher than their glass transition temperature or melt temperature. The films thickness close to 2 nm and surface roughness did not vary significantly upon annealing. AFM images revealed the presence of small clumps dispersed on a homogeneous layer, which covered completely the Si wafers. Such topographic details were also observed after annealing. However, upon annealing the films surfaces changed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic, evidencing molecular re-orientation at the solid–air interface. The adhesion of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lipase onto the cellulose esters films was quantified in order to evaluate the possibility of applying such films as selective support for biomolecules.     

Influence of the conditions of manufacture of nanomeric zirconium dioxide,stabilized with yttrium oxide,on its catalytic properties in the oxidation of CO

The morphological and catalytic properties of samples of nanomeric zirconium dioxide, stabilized with yttrium oxide, manufactured via the effect of a UHF field during the process of drying precipitated zirconium hydroxide and calcination at temperatures from 300 to 1000 °C, were studied. It was shown that the highest activity in the oxidation of CO occurred with 40 nm particles of zirconium dioxide prepared at 1000 °C. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 43, No. 2, pp. 96–101, March–April, 2007.     

Macroporous poly(methyl methacrylate) produced by phase separation during polymerisation in solution

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) sponges were obtained by polymerization in a solution with monomer/ethanol ratios up to 20:80. The material obtained after the elimination of the solvent present a homogeneous distribution of dispersed pores up to a monomer/ethanol ratio lower than 40:60. For higher ethanol contents in the reacting mixture, the morphology of the sponge corresponds to a network of PMMA microparticles, leaving large empty spaces leading to highly porous structure. The monomer/ethanol ratio during polymerization has a large influence on the porosity, thermal, and mechanical properties of the material and, for large solvent contents, on the size of the polymer microparticles.     

化学发光消耗型锰传感器

化学和生物发光是由化学反应产生的一种光辐射,不需要任何光源。又由于它们具有高灵敏度、宽线性范围和相对比较便宜的仪器等优点,因而在化学和生物传感器领域引起了广泛的兴趣。已用于H_2O_2、乳酸和胆固醇等多种生物活性物质的测定,但未见有金属离子传感器的报道。本文发展了一种新型的全固态模式的消耗型锰离子化学发光传感器。该传感器将除待测物外的所有化学发光反应试剂全部固定在阴离子交换树脂Amberlyst A-27上,于化学发光反应之前,将一定量化学发光试剂从固定化试剂柱上洗脱,与样品中的锰离子产生化学发光。已成功地应用于水样中痕量锰离子的测定。每个固定化试剂柱可连续使用100次以上。 1 实验部分 1.1 仪器和试剂 化学发光传感器由流动系统和检测系统两部分组成。其中流动系统主要由蠕动泵、六通阀、固定化试剂柱和流通池组成。检测系统由光电信增管、负高压、放大器和记录仪组成(图1)。     

Effect of BaBiO3 and Ba0.6K0.4BiO3 additives on the rechargeability of manganese oxide cathodes in alkaline cells

The effect of the incorporation of small amounts (1–5 wt%) of semiconducting BaBiO₃ and metallic Ba_0.6K_0.4BiO₃ additives on the rechargeability of electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) cathodes in alkaline cells in the one-electron regime has been investigated. Both the BaBiO₃ and Ba_0.6K_0.4BiO₃ additives lead to better cyclability compared to the previously known binary oxide additive Bi₂O₃. X-ray diffraction patterns recorded before and after 30 cycles as well as cyclic voltammograms recorded after first and 30 cycles reveal that the better cyclability in the presence of BaBiO₃ and Ba_0.6K_0.4BiO₃ additives is due to the suppression of the formation of unwanted, electrochemically inactive birnessite and hausmannite phases and a shifting of the second-electron capacity of Mn to higher potentials.
