When chalcopyrite is heated in air, up to 350? there is no marked change. Between 350 and 440?, surface material is oxidised to iron sulphate, CuSO4 and Fe2O3, while in regions not accessible to oxygen the formation of Cu5FeS4, FeS and S takes place. From 440 to 500? oxidation and sulphation phenomena occur. Stable compounds between 500 and 650? are iron sulphate, CuSO4 and Fe4O3, with a minor amount of 6CuO.Cu2O indicated at 650?. After the decomposition of iron sulphate, CuSO4 decomposes, first to CuO.CuSO4 and then to CuO. By 750? the sulphur has been totally lost from all compounds, while the oxides of copper and iron partly react to form CuFe2O4. Final products of oxidation between 800 and 850? are CuO, CuFe2O4 and Fe3O4. 相似文献
Silver ions dissolved in a polymer matrix are additionally coordinated by carbonyl oxygens of asparagines and their counter anions interact with cationic sites, resulting in the enhanced activity of the silver ion as an olefin carrier for facilitated olefin transport. 相似文献
The thermoreversible fcc-bcc transition in concentrated block copolymer micellar solutions is shown to be driven by decreases in the aggregation number as the solvent penetrates the core, leading to a softer intermicelle potential. Small-angle neutron scattering measurements in a dilute solution are used to quantify the temperature-dependent micellar characteristics. The observed phase boundary is in excellent agreement with recent simulations of highly branched star polymers. 相似文献
This study reports a facile and practical means to non‐invasively deliver biologically active ingredients through the skin using polymer‐based nanocarriers. For this, polymer nanocapsules were fabricated with different surface charges as well as glass transition temperatures and we observed their ability to deliver the encapsulated active ingredient, coenzyme Q10, through the skin layer. Direct imaging of a probe molecule, Nile Red, and a matrix polymer labeled with fluorescence moiety, Lucifer Yellow, allowed us to demonstrate that the probe molecule readily permeates into the deep skin, while the matrix polymer stays in the stratum corneum layer due to electrostatic interactions. Quantitative characterization of the penetrating amount of coenzyme Q10 using the Frantz cell method proved that, to achieve improved delivery efficiency, the nanocapsule should have a low glass transition temperature as well as positive surface charges.
A nearly symmetric polystyrene-block-polyisoprene diblock copolymer dissolved at a concentration of 40% in styrene-selective solvents exhibited a cylinder-to-disorder transition upon heating. The solvents used were diethyl phthalate (DEP) and 75:25 and 50:50 mixtures of DEP with di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP). In DEP, the most styrene-selective of the three solvents, rheological measurements indicated a distinct plateau in the temperature-dependent elastic modulus across the 8 degrees C interval above the order-disorder transition temperature, T(ODT) = 116 degrees C. Previous small-angle neutron scattering measurements in this regime indicated the equilibrium phase to be a liquidlike solution of approximately spherical micelles. An isothermal frequency sweep in this regime indicated a very long relaxation time. Annealing eventually led to the recovery of liquidlike rheological response, over a time scale of hours. Qualitatively similar phenomena were also observed in 75:25 DEP/DBP and 50:50 DEP/DBP solutions, except the fact that the temperature window of the transient response is narrow and the time scale for the recovery diminishes significantly. Neither small-angle X-ray scattering nor static birefringence gave any clear signature of the transient structure. The structure that leads to the transient rheological response is attributed to micellar congestion due to the slow relaxation of anisotropic micelles into an equilibrium distribution of micelles. Possible origins of the remarkable solvent selectivity dependence are also discussed. 相似文献
We have experimentally investigated the density of states (DOS) in Nb/Ni (S/F) bilayers as a function of Ni thickness, d(F). Our thinnest samples show the usual DOS peak at +/- Delta(0), whereas intermediate-thickness samples have an anomalous "double-peak" structure. For thicker samples (d(F) > or =3.5 nm), we see an inverted DOS, which has previously only been reported in superconductor or weak-ferromagnet structures. We analyze the data using the self-consistent nonlinear Usadel equation and find that we are able to quantitatively fit the features at +/- Delta(0) -- in particular the thickness at which the inversion occurs -- only if we include a large amount of spin-orbit scattering in the model. Interestingly, we are unable to reproduce the subgap structure through the addition of any parameter(s). Therefore, the observed anomalous subgap structure represents new physics beyond that contained in the present Usadel theory. 相似文献
Two gel states of a PEO‐PPO‐PEO (Pluronic P103) triblock copolymer in water are investigated using small‐angle X‐ray scattering, rheology and differential scanning calorimetry. The first gel state turns out to be the hexagonal microphase while the second gel state, showing turbidity change with four distinct regions, is somewhat disrupted. The second gel is moreover not thermoreversible as evidenced by rheology. Based upon the present study, two different gelation mechanisms for aqueous PEO‐PPO‐PEO solutions are proposed. 相似文献
