The influence of hydroxyapatite modification on the cross-linking of polydimethylsiloxane/HAp composites

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) was modified by the action of various hydrophobic agents based on silicon-containing compounds. The influence of the type of applied agent on the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the cross-linking of poly(dimethyl siloxane)/HAp composites was investigated. All the modified HAp particles became hydrophobic and these samples were used to synthesize the polysiloxane/hydroxyapatite composites (PDMS/HAp). The possible modes of interaction between the hydroxyapatite and hydrophobing agents were discussed. The most probable interaction between hydroxyapatite and the applied hydrophobing agents is hydrogen bonding. PDMS/HAp composites were formed directly in the cell of the DSC and cross-linking was investigated in situ. It was determined that the introduction of hydroxyapatite into polysiloxane matrices changed the enthalpy of cross-linking, as well as the activation energy of cross-linking and reaction order, while the introduction of modified HAp led to thermodynamic and kinetic parameters more similar to those of the cross-linking of unfilled elastomer.     

Structure determination of homoleptic AuI, AgI, and CuI aryl/alkylethynyl coordination polymers by X-ray powder diffraction

This article describes the structure determination of five homoleptic d(10) metal-aryl/alkylacetylides [RC triple bond CM] (M=Cu, R=tBu 1, nPr 2, Ph 3; R=Ph, M=Ag 4; Au 5) by using X-ray single-crystal and powder diffraction. Complex 1.C6H6 reveals an unusual Cu20 catenane cluster structure that has various types of tBuC triple bond C-->Cu coordination modes. By using this single-crystal structure as a starting model for subsequent Rietveld refinement of X-ray powder diffraction data, the structure of the powder synthesized from CuI and tBuC triple bond CH was found to have the same structure as 1. Complex 2 has an extended sheet structure consisting of discrete zig-zag Cu4 subunits connected through bridging nPrC triple bond C groups. Complex 3 forms an infinite chain structure with extended Cu-Cu ladders (Cu-Cu=2.49(4)-2.83(2) A). The silver(I) congener 4 is iso-structural to 3 (average Ag-Ag distance 3.11 A), whereas the gold(I) analogue 5 forms a Au...Au honeycomb network with PhC triple bond C pillars (Au-Au=2.98(1)-3.26(1) A). Solid-state properties including photoluminescence, nu(C triple bond C) stretching frequencies and thermal stability of these polymeric systems are discussed in the context of the determined structures.     

铈改性NaZSM-5分子筛担载Pd催化剂上CO氧化性能研究

以浸渍法制备了一系列添加CeO2的Pd-Ce/NaZSM-5负载型催化剂．以C0氧化为 模型反应，考察了反应温度、Ce含量、预还原、空速及水蒸气等对C0氧化性能的影 响，并利用XIlD和朋等手段对催化剂体相及表面结构进行了表征．结果表明：加入 CeO2作助剂可明显提高催化剂的活性，且催化转化率随着反应温度及Ce含量的增加 而增加；随着空速的增加而降低；催化剂对水蒸气不敏感，在水蒸气存在的条件下 反应可连续进行720h以上保持C0完全转化；H2预还原作用使催化剂活性有所提高． XRD测试结果表明，催化剂中Pd组分处于高分散状态，Ceob的引入促进了N物种在 NaZSM—5载体上的分散．表面XPS分析证实催化剂表面Pd物种处于较高的氧化状态 ，且CeO2与Pd物种间存在协同作用．Pd的高分散及其与CeO2的相互作用是催化剂具 有高活性的关键．     

Reactivity and characterisation of various rank turkish bituminous coal chars

A set of seven bituminous coal chars has been characterised by IR spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry (TG) and elemental analysis. FTIR study provided suitable information to establish differences between coal samples according to their chemical compositions. The reactivity of these samples was also studied and correlated with the coal parameters of mean vitrinite reflectance, fuel ratio and H/C ratio. The data suggest that reactivity as determined can be correlated with the mean vitrinite reflectance, fuel ratio and H/C ratio (0.90). The order of reactivity of samples were; Amasra (S1) (R _m= 0.65)>Azdavay (S4) (R _m=0.99)»Armutcuk (S2) (R _m=0.81)»Acenta (S3) (R _m=0.92)>Ac2l2k (S6) (R _m=1.11) Cay (S5) (R _m=1.03)>Sogutozu (S7) (R _m=2.14).     

A reinvestigation of quaternary layered bismuth oxyhalides of the Sillén X1 type

A family of layered bismuth oxyhalides, L^I_0.5Bi_1.5O₂X and L^IIBiO₂X has been reinvestigated. Formation of X1-type Sillén compounds has been established for L^I=Li, Na, L^II=Ca, Sr, Ba, and X=Cl, Br, I, but the details of their crystal structures are different. While all L^I_0.5Bi_1.5O₂X, CaBiO₂Br, and CaBiO₂I adopt the disordered tetragonal Nd₂O₂Te structure, all compounds of L^II=Sr and Ba are orthorhombic and isostructural to PbSbO₂Cl, due to L/Bi cation ordering. Crystal structures have been determined for CaBiO₂I, SrBiO₂Br, SrBiO₂I, and BaBiO₂I. We discuss the factors which determine the occurrence and type of cation ordering in the quaternary bismuth and antimony X1-type oxyhalides. We also predict that more isostructural compounds can be prepared with antimony.     

固体炭对一氧化氮低温催化解离还原反应的影响——Ⅱ.复合催化剂中铁在载体炭上化学形态的研究

用~(57)Fe穆斯堡尔谱研究了炭载型复合催化剂中铁化学形态随温度的变化,及各活性组分、助剂对铁化学形态的影响;并通过ESR谱考察了复合催化剂中不同活性组分对铁在载体炭表面电子特性的影响。研究结果表明,复合催化剂中各活性组分、助剂和载体炭与铁之间存在着强相互作用。在350～650℃,载体炭可将铁从Fe_2O_3还原到Fe_3O_4、FeO、α-Fe和生成炭化铁。活性组分Cu和助剂K可改变催化剂中铁周围的电子密度,促进铁在载体炭上从高价态向低价态还原。同时还发现催化剂中Na和Cr对铁有很强的助分散作用。
