MEASUREMENTS OF CHAIN INTERPENETRATION OF POLYMER GLASSES

The concept of entanglement provides the basis of our current understanding of the flow behavior of polymer melts, Current techniques developed to investigate the degree of interpenetration of polymer chains only provide indirectly the information of the degree of entanglement in a relatively large scale （several to tens of nanometer）. In this article, we report ^1H-NMR spectroscopy with dipolar filters under fast magic angle spinning for probing chain interpenetration of polymer glasses at the molecular level.     

High-resolution solid-state MAS 73Ge NMR spectra of some organogermanes

High-resolution solid-state magic angle spinning (73)Ge NMR spectra of some organogermanium compounds were measured. Most tetrasubstituted germanes with identical substituents exhibited signals except for one case. Tetrasubstituted germanes with two kinds of different but somewhat similar substituents exhibited broad peaks. Trisubstituted germanes failed to show signals, indicating the importance of symmetry around germanium.

表面活性剂对碳纳米管分散性及其湿法纺丝纤维性能的影响

碳纳米管(CNT)纤维因具有低密度、高强度以及高电导率等特性受到广泛关注。在湿法纺丝技术制备CNT纤维的工艺中,探究纺丝分散液和纺丝条件对CNT纤维性能的影响具有重要意义。本文研究了十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)、十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)、胆酸钠(SC)、牛磺脱氧胆酸钠(STDC)等表面活性剂对CNT纤维制备及性能的影响。通过拉曼光谱、紫外可见光谱、偏光显微镜、旋转流变仪、扫描电镜等方法对材料进行表征,以拉伸测试和“四探针”法对材料性能进行测试。结果表明,单壁碳纳米管(SWNTs)在表面活性剂的2(wt)%水溶液中的分散能力顺序依次为STDC> SC> CTAB> SDS;SDS或CTAB修饰的SWNTs分散液无法纺制纤维,SC和STDC修饰的SWNTs分散液具有良好的可纺性。其中以STDC作表面活性剂制备的CNT纤维性能最好,其断裂强度为160MPa,杨氏模量为12.3GPa,电导率为2300S/cm。     

Powder‐XRD and 14N magic angle‐spinning solid‐state NMR spectroscopy of some metal nitrides

Some metal nitrides (TiN, ZrN, InN, GaN, Ca₃N₂, Mg₃N₂, and Ge₃N₄) have been studied by powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and ¹⁴N magic angle‐spinning (MAS) solid‐state NMR spectroscopy. For Ca₃N₂, Mg₃N₂, and Ge₃N₄, no ¹⁴N NMR signal was observed. Low speed (ν_r = 2 kHz for TiN, ZrN, and GaN; ν_r = 1 kHz for InN) and ‘high speed’ (ν_r = 15 kHz for TiN; ν_r = 5 kHz for ZrN; ν_r = 10 kHz for InN and GaN) MAS NMR experiments were performed. For TiN, ZrN, InN, and GaN, powder‐XRD was used to identify the phases present in each sample. The number of peaks observed for each sample in their ¹⁴N MAS solid‐state NMR spectrum matches perfectly well with the number of nitrogen‐containing phases identified by powder‐XRD. The ¹⁴N MAS solid‐state NMR spectra are symmetric and dominated by the quadrupolar interaction. The envelopes of the spinning sidebands manifold are Lorentzian, and it is concluded that there is a distribution of the quadrupolar coupling constants Q_cc's arising from structural defects in the compounds studied.

Application of Linear and Branched Poly(Ethylene Glycol)‐Poly(Lactide) Block Copolymers for the Preparation of Films and Solution Electrospun Meshes

Poly(ethylene glycol)‐poly(lactide) (PEG‐PLA) block copolymers are processed to solvent cast films and solution electrospun meshes. The effect of polymer composition, architecture, and number of anchoring points for the plasticizer on swelling, degradation, and mechanical properties of these films and meshes is investigated as potential barrier device for the prevention of peritoneal adhesions. As a result, adequate properties are achieved for the massive films with a longer retention of the plasticizer PEG for star‐shaped block copolymers than for the linear triblock copolymers and consequently more endurable mechanical properties during degradation. For electrospun meshes fabricated using the same polymers, similar trends are observed, but with an earlier start of fragmentation and lower tensile strengths. To overcome the poor mechanical strengths and an occurring shrinkage during incubation, which may impair the coverage of the wound, further adaptions of the meshes and the fabrication process are necessary.

Thermal analysis in industrial environments

Common industrial procedures often expose polymers to liquids and vapors which may affect their thermal properties. By carrying out thermoanalytical measurements under simulated process conditions, the scientist can investigate environmental effects on the properties of the material. Such experiments can also be used to demonstrate the nature of processes taking place. This work illustrates case studies regarding the application of thermogravimetry, thermomechanical, dynamic mechanical and dielectric measurements to monitor the behaviour of fibers, films and adhesives under such conditions.
