Evolution of TiO2 coating layers on lamellar sericite in the presence of La and the pigmentary properties

TiO₂-coated sericite powders were prepared by the chemical deposition method starting from lamellar sericite and TiCl₄ in the presence or absence of La³⁺ cations. After calcination at 900 °C for 1 h, the resultant TiO₂ nanoparticles on the sericite surfaces existed in anatase phase. The light scattering indexes of the TiO₂-coated lamellar sericite powders were dozens of times higher than that of the naked lamellar sericite powders. The presence of La³⁺ in the deposition solution was beneficial to the formation of the small-sized anatase TiO₂ nanoparticles, resulting in the formation of the dense and uniform island-like TiO₂ coating layers in a large range of the weight ratios of TiO₂ to sericite from 5% to 20%. The TiO₂-coated lamellar sericite powders prepared in the presence of La³⁺ had higher light scattering index than that prepared in the absence of La³⁺. XPS analysis shows that when La³⁺ cations were absent in the reaction solution, TiO₂ coating layers anchored at the sericite surface via the Ti-O-Si and Ti-O-Al bonds. The presence of La³⁺ cations caused the formation of Si-O-La and Al-O-La bonds at the sericite surface and Ti-O-La bond at the surface of TiO₂ coating layers. After coating TiO₂ on the sericite surface, the yellowness of the TiO₂-coated sericite powders obviously increased and the brightness slightly decreased.     

Studies of modification of HDPE and interfacial interaction of its composites with sericite

Ultraviolet irradiation, which is environment friendly and without any chemical pollution, was used to functionalize high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) and to improve the interfacial interaction of its composites with sericite in this study. The oxygen‐containing groups of C?O, C‐O, and C(?O)O were quickly introduced onto molecular chains of HDPE by ultraviolet irradiation in ozone atmosphere and the contents of the introduced oxygen‐containing groups increased with increasing the modification time. It is important to note that the irradiation time greatly decreased compared to that in air or oxygen atmosphere. After modification, the molecular weight of the irradiated HDPE decreased and its distribution became wider. The irradiated HDPE in ozone was not crosslinked, which is an advantage over the same reaction in air or oxygen atmosphere. With increasing the irradiation time, the melting temperature of the irradiated HDPE lightly decreased, while its crystallinity, hydrophilicity, and fluidity increased. The composites of HDPE/sericite were prepared. The results showed that the dispersion of sericite in the matrix and the interfacial interaction of sericite with the matrix were markedly improved for the irradiated HDPE/sericite composites. As a result, the irradiated HDPE/sericite composites showed significantly increased tensile yield strength and notched impact strength. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

以广泛分布于大临铁路沿线的绢云母片岩残积土为研究对象,开展非饱和状态下绢云母片岩残积土的共振柱试验,研究了动剪应变γ_d在小应变范围内(10~(-6)γ_d10~(-4))不同含水率、干密度及固结围压对动剪切模量G_d与阻尼比D的影响。试验结果表明,含水率对动剪切模量与阻尼比的影响较大,对干密度及固结围压的影响较小。G_d及D随含水率的增加而非线性增大,存在某一临界含水率使G_d达到最大值,此后G_d随含水率的增加而逐渐衰减;在高围压、高含水率状态下D-γ_d关系曲线有重合趋势。同一动剪应变幅值下,干密度增大G_d随之增大、D随之减小。不同固结围压下G_d随动剪应变γ_d的不断增大呈衰减趋势,固结围压对D的影响不明显,但γ_d相同时D随固结围压的增大有减小的趋势。

Effects of Sericite Modified by Macromolecular Dispersant on the Thermal,Mechanical and Electrical Properties of the NR/SBR Composites

A new hydrosoluble macromolecular dispersant and modifier, poly(ethylene glycol)-maleic anhydride-acrylic acid (PEG-MA-AA) terpolymer was synthesized via ring-opening reaction and free radical polymerization. The chemical structure of the PEG-MA-AA terpolymer was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and its average molecular weight was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Modified sericite (MSE) was synthesized from sericite (SE) by the surface modification with PEG-MA-AA. The NR/SBR/MSE composites were prepared via the blending of the modified sericite and NR/SBR rubber. The thermal, mechanical and electrical properties of the composites were investigated by TGA, tensile test machine and high-insulation resistance meter. The results showed that the thermal stability and the mechanical and electrical insulation properties of NR/SBR/MSE composites were improved significantly. SEM also revealed that modified sericite possessed good dispersibility.
