A new class of colloidal polymeric particles consisting of polystyrene spheres grown in a poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide) precursor scaffold is synthesized via redox‐initiated heterophase polymerization. The morphology and thermoresponsiveness of these assemblies is proven by electron microscopy investigations and temperature‐dependent measurements of the change of both the speed of sound travelling through the dispersion and the hydrodynamic particle size. Electron microscopy (EM) micrographs (transmission and scanning EM as well cryo‐scanning EM) prove the existence of colloidal clusters when the freeze‐dried copolymer is redispersed in pure water. The clusters have a size of several micrometers, contain about 800 polystyrene particles with diameter below 100 nm, and show a highly reproducible thermoresponsive behavior with a lower critical solution temperature corresponding to that of pure poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide).
The influence of the basic properties of carbon black, such as structure, panicle size, and surface activity on the vulcanization and mechanical properties of filled natural rubber compounds was investigated in detail. This is important for a better understanding of the rubber performance and the mechanism of reinforcement. In particular, the effect of carbon black surface activity, which was changed by introducing one kind of hindered amine light stabilizer on rubber reinforcement is emphasized. 相似文献
Abstract The use of crustacean shells, in particular crab shells, for the removal of metal ions in solution is described. Research studies found in the literature on the ability of the shells, effect of particle size, pH, competitive studies in mixtures of metals, application to real samples such as acid mine drainage, and use of the shells in a column are presented. The major component of the shells that allows uptake to occur is chitin. Several mechanisms are proposed for uptake. There are conflicting accounts in the literature on such areas as the effect of pH, flow rate, and particle size. 相似文献
Abstract Sub-millimetric synthetic, continuous, and pulsed-jet actuators under identical conditions of generation are experimentally compared. Particle image velocimetry and hot-wire anemometry were used for measuring the velocity field. In the second part of the article, the interaction of these three types of actuators with a transverse external flow is characterized using the same experimental techniques. The studied plate is bended downstream from the actuator. Two angles are studied—0° and 28°. The efficiency of the fluidic action on the reattachment of the boundary layer is shown to be strongly dependant on the type of the jet. 相似文献

An analysis of some of the fundamental and special physical processes occurring in discharge and plasma ion sources is presented. The main purpose of the lecture is to present to the users of ion sources some key elements of information, of which not all may be generally recognised and which hopefully will be of value for a better understanding of the operational problems related to the complex behaviour of discharge and plasma ion sources. 相似文献
