Preparation and properties of PET/PA6 copolymer/montmorillonite hybrid nanocomposite

From in situ polycondensation, a poly(ethylene terephthalate)/Polyamide 6 copolymer/montmorillonite nanocomposite was prepared, after the treatment of montmorillonite (MMT) with a water soluble polymer. The resulting nanocomposites were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results of DSC, ¹H NMR, and DMA proved that the nanocomposite synthesized was PET/PA6 copolymer/MMT nanocomposite, not the PET/PA6 blend/MMT nanocomposite. The results of XRD and TEM proved that the dispersion of MMT was improved observably after the introduction of PA6 molecular chain into PET. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Study on esterification of acrylic phenolic resin by maleic anhydride and photocrosslinking properties of the alkali‐soluble product

An alkali‐soluble, photocrosslinkable polymer was synthesized by esterification of OH groups of acrylic phenolic resin with maleic anhydride. The OH groups were formed by the ring‐opening reaction of epoxy groups of epoxy phenolic resin with acrylic acid. The esterification conditions were studied. The results showed that it is better to use tetramethyl ammonium bromide as catalyst than N,N‐dimethylbenzylamine. The conversion of maleic anhydride in acetone can reach about 80% at 56°C for 4 h. The purified product was characterized by IR, DSC, and TGA. The product containing acrylate and maleic acid monoester groups, above a certain content, can be dissolved in 1% Na₂CO₃ solution. The photocrosslinkable properties of the product were investigated through selection of photoinitiator, accelarator, crosslinkable diluent monomer, etc. The acrylate and maleic acid monoester group‐containing phenolic resin exhibited very good photocrosslinking behavior, since it contains double bonds from both acrylate groups and maleic acid monoester groups. The activity of photoinitiator decreases in the order: isopropylthioanthraquinone > benzoin ethyl ether (BE) > anthraquinone (AQ) > benzophenone > Michel ketone (MK) > 2,2‐diethoxyacetophenone. The combination of some photoinitiators showed synergistic effects. The order of increasing activity for the accelerator is as follows: MK > ethyl p‐(dimethylamino)benzoate > N,N‐dimethylaniline > triethanolamine. The optimum diluent monomer is trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate. The gel content of the mixture of the resin and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate could reach 85% using the combined photoinitiators of BE and AQ under UV exposure for 120 s. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and solution properties of novel nonionic functional polyurethane surfactants

A series of novel nonionic functional polyurethane surfactants were synthesized by the polycondensation of 2,4‐toluene diisocyanate with poly(propylene oxide) (weight‐average molecular weight = 400, 1000, or 2000) and monoallyl‐end‐capped poly(ethylene oxide). The chemical structure of the polyurethane surfactants was determined by Fourier transform infrared and ¹H‐NMR, and the effects of the concentration, salt, rest time, and temperature on the surface tension were investigated. These polymeric surfactants exhibited excellent surface activity. Sample III, which was synthesized with monoallyl‐end‐capped poly(ethylene oxide) (number‐average molecular weight = 1000), poly(propylene oxide) (number‐average molecular weight = 2000), and tolylene diisocyanate, could reduce the surface tension to 37.6 mN/m at a concentration of 0.06 mol/L at 25°C. All polyurethane surfactants synthesized in this study had low critical micelle concentrations (ca. 10^?4 to 10^?5 mol/L) and could reduce the surface tension even at very low concentration levels. Moreover, the surface tension decreased with an increase in the temperature or the concentration of the polyurethane surfactants. The addition of salt resulted in a decrease in the surface tension, and it took some time for the polyurethane surfactants to reach a constant surface tension value. UV spectra were found to be very useful for determining the critical micelle concentration. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100: 2956–2962, 2006

焦炭塔结构的固有频率和振型研究

在传统的直立塔设备固有频率和振型的计算中,将塔设备简化为悬臂梁计算模型,但实际塔的薄壁圆筒结构与梁模型不符,为此对焦炭塔建立有限元分析模型进行模态分析,得到焦炭塔的固有频率和振型,计算分析表明,由于焦碳塔特殊的结构特点使得焦炭塔的振动特性与传统大型直立设备简化为悬臂梁计算模型所得振动特性相比有所不同,因此焦炭塔结构计算中在计及高阶振型与固有频率时,不宜简化为悬臂梁计算模型。
