Cure kinetics of epoxy resin and thermoplastic polymer

The cure kinetics and morphology of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) modified with polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) using diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) as hardener were investigated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). Isothermal curing measurements were carried out at 150, 120 and 80°C. The kinetic parameters were obtained using the general autocatalytic chemically controlled model. The comparison of the kinetic data indicates that the presence of PVAc does not change the autocatalytic nature of the cure reaction. Two T _g’s were observed in the fully cured samples of the modified systems. ESEM micrographies confirm the biphasic morphology.     

Impact of Transition Metal Substituents on Polysilane Properties: Iron versus Ruthenium

Summary. The previously unknown ruthenio disilanes Rp–Si₂Me₄–C₆H₄X (Rp = η⁵-C₅H₅Ru(CO)₂; X = H, Br, –CHO, CH=C(CN)₂) were synthesized from ClSi₂Me₄C₆H₄X (X = H, Br) and Rp⁻ using conventional chemical methods. Trends in the UV/Vis absorption spectra indicate strong electronic coupling within the Rp–Si–Si–C_aryl fragment and, therefore, closely resemble the ones observed for the corresponding iron complexes. The four compounds however, were shown to be less sensitive towards UV irradiation. The crystal structure of Rp–Si₂Me₄–C₆H₄CH=C(CN)₂ was determined by X-ray diffraction and exhibits an all-trans-array of the Ru–Si–Si–C_aryl moiety, what is a basic requirement for optimal through-bond interaction.     

Influence of conjugated nitrogenous bases on the spectra and structure of mixed-ligand nickel(II) chelates containing β-diones

The infrared and electronic excitation spectra of a series of new nickel(II) chelates containing an-diimine (or nitrogenous base, enR) and the anion of a-dione (1,3-ketoenol or 1,3-ketoester,H) were obtained in the solid state and in solution. The composition and the overall structure of the new chelates in the solid state depends on ligand concentration, the substituents within the-dionato moiety and the counterion present. The IR and electronic excitation spectra of [Ni(enR)₂ ]NO₃ and [Ni(enR)(O₂NO)] indicate, in conjunction with other physicochemical measurements, bidentate coordination of the ligands, while the spectral shifts reveal replacement of the (O,O)nitrato group by basic solvents. The existence of the nickel(II) in an octahedral environment is confirmed by an X-ray structure analysis of [Ni(dpamH)₂acac]NO₃ · CH₃OH (monoclinic, space groupP2_l/n, a=17.296(1),b=7.462(1),c=21.604(3) å,=95.65(1),Z=4, R=0.0534,Rw=0.0600), where dpamH denotes the 2,2-dipyridylamine.     

酚酞型聚芳醚砜(Ⅶ):K_2C0_3存在下PP/DCDPS体系聚合反应机理的研究

利用~(13)C-NMR方法研究了弱碱K_2CO_3存在下酚酞成盐反应及其与活性双卤砜亲核缩聚反应过程中的结构特征。对一系列碱性条件下酚酞(PP)与4,4'-二氯二苯砜(DCDPS)的缩聚反应的研究表明任何影响内酯结构酚酞盐生成的因素都会严重阻碍聚合反应的进行。对模型化合物存在下K_2CO_3在极性非质子溶剂中的溶解/解离行为的研究结果表明酚酞类Card。双酚与固体K_2CO_3之间可能存在着一种特殊的络合作用。基于我们系列研究结果,本文中总结提出了弱碱K_2CO_3存在下酚酞的反应机理。

Determining moisture absorption/desorption properties of commercial membranes by thermogravimetry (TG)

A series of different commercial membranes were characterized by their moisture absorption and desorption properties under controlled humidity and temperature conditions. This work was made possible by combining the features of a constant humidity conditioning chamber with those of a thermogravimetric (TG) apparatus. These two modules were interconnected by tubing, rotameters, an atmosphere-recycling microbellows pump and switching valves. Under programmed heating and isothermal conditions reproducible data were obtained in terms of weight-gain or weight-lossvs. time and pore size. Evaluation of the resulting TG curves allowed us to report reasonable differences in the materials, some of which had been previously surface-modified by the manufacturer.     

Gem-dinitro compounds in organic synthesis. 4. Use of the condensation product of glyoxal and dinitromethane in the synthesis of nitro-1,2,3-triazoles

The condensation of dinitromethane with glyoxal has been investigated and it has been demonstrated that 1,1,4,4-tetranitro-2,3-butandiol, -hydroxy-,-dinitropropionic acid or their mixture may be formed. Interaction of 1,1,4,4-tetranitro-2,3-butandiol or 1,4-dibromo-1,1,4,4-tetranitro-2,3-butanediol diacetates with sodium azide leads to bis(5-nitro-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) via intermediate 1,1,4,4-tetranitro-1,3-butadiene.For communication 3, see [1].N.

Strukturelle Abwandlungen anN-Acetylneuraminsäure, 3

From methyl-5-acetylamino-7,8-anhydro-4,9-O-bis-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-3,5-dideoxy--D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosidonic acid methylester (1) the derivatives1 a and1 b were obtained by removing the 9-O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)group withBu ₄NF, followed by acetylation. Treatment of1 b with 80% acetic acid and acetanhydride/pyridine yields the 8-epi-N-acetylneuraminic acid derivative2 a and the 7-epi-N-acetylneuraminic acid derivative3 a in a ratio of 3:1 (Scheme 1). The structure elucidation of2 b was achieved by converting2 b via the 4,9-bis-O-(tBDMSi)-8-O-tosyl-derivative2 d into the epoxide1 (Scheme 2). Using the same sequence the epoxides4 and5 were transformed into theN-acetylneuraminic acid derivative6 a and the 7,8-bis-epi-N-acetylneuraminic acid derivative7 a (Scheme 3). After treatment with sodium hydroxide and 0.025m HCl and Dowex 50 H⁺ the 8-epi-, 7-epi- and 7,8-bis-epi-N-acetylneuraminic acids2,3, and7 were obtained. These three compounds were tested withCMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid synthetase.

Zur Bildung von Xylol-tricarbonylchrom (Dimethylbenchrotrenen) aus Di-n-butylether und Hexacarbonylchrom

The reaction of fluorenone ethyleneketal (9), diphenic anhydride as well as of biphenyls such as4 with Cr(CO)₆ in refluxing di-n-butylether (BE) gives dimethylbenchrotrenes [xylene-Cr(CO)₃,7] which are also formed by refluxing pureBE with Cr(CO)₆—although with much lower yields. Similarily, from di-n-pentylether and Cr(CO)₆ isobutyl- and 1-methyl-3-propyl-benchrotrene (13 and14) were obtained, whilst from di-n-propyl- and-hexylether, resp., and Cr(CO)₆ no benchrotrenes could be isolated.Tentative assumptions on the catalytic action of certain functional groups were confirmed by the reaction ofBE and Cr(CO)₆ in the presence of carbonamides, such as acetamide, urea and pyrrolidone, where 1,4-dimethylbenchrotrene (7 c) was formed with appreciable yields.Studies using dideuteratedBE showed that—at least for the reaction of9 with Cr(CO)₆ (giving a much lower yield of7 than with undeuteratedBE)—a simple bimolecular mechanism can be excluded.

     

BaCe0.8Ho0.2O3-a陶瓷的性质与应用

Ceramic BaCe0.8Ho0.2O3-α with orthorhombic perovskite structure was prepared by conventional solid state reaction, and its conductivity and ionic transport number were measured by ac impedance spectroscopy and gas concentration cell methods in the temperature range of 600-1000 ℃ in wet hydrogen and wet air, respectively. Using the ceramics as solid electrolyte and porous platinum as electrodes, the hydrogen-air fuel cell was constructed, and the cell performance at temperature from 600-1000 ℃ was examined. The results indicate that the specimen was a pure protonic conductor with the protonic transport number of 1 at temperature from 600-900 ℃ in wet hydrogen, a mixed conductor of proton and electron with the protonic transport number of 0.99 at 1000 ℃. The electronic conduction could be neglected in this case, thus the total conductivity in wet hydrogen was approximately regarded as protonic conductivity. In wet air, the specimen was a mixed conductor of proton, oxide ion and electron hole. The protonic transport numbers were 0.01-0.09, and the oxide-ionic transport numbers were 0.27-0.32. The oxide ionic conductivity was increased with the increase of temperature, but the protonic conductivity displayed a maximum at 900 ℃, due to the combined increase in mobility and depletion of the carriers. The fuel cell could work stably. At 1000 ℃, the maximum short-circuit current density and power output density were 346 mA/cm^2 and 80 mW/cm^2, respectively.
