Influence of thermal runaway in styrene–acrylonitrile bulk copolymerization revealed by computational fluid dynamics modeling

The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and kinetic-based moment methods coupled approach is adopted to simulate the bulk copolymerization of styrene–acrylonitrile (SAN) in a stirred tank reactor. Numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the impacts of impeller speed, monomer ratio, initiator ratio, and initial reaction temperature on the copolymerization process and product properties. Particularly, the Chaos theory is selected as a criterion for evaluating the occurrence of the thermal runaway. The Flory's and Stockmayer's distributions are employed to calculate chain length distribution and copolymer composition distribution of copolymer. The simulation results highlight that the appearance of thermal runaway can be postponed by properly increasing the rotation speed, decreasing the initiator loadings, initial acrylonitrile contents and initial reactor temperature. Furthermore, significant differences exist in the product properties that predicted by the ideal and non-ideal models, which demonstrates that the temperature heterogeneity plays a crucial role in SAN copolymerization. This study could offer references for the safe operation and design of polymerization processes.

Process parameters influence on zone refining and thermodynamics analysis of 1,2-diphenylethane

Effective distribution coefficients of 9 impurities in 1,2-diphenylethane have been calculated by directional crystallization under different ambient frozen temperature. The effect of varied zone size, temperature difference between the melt and ambient frozen environment, number of zone on purity of 1,2-diphenylethane have been also investigated during the process of zone refining. The results indicate that the product purity in the intermediate purified region with varied zone size is higher 0.04%-0.2% than that with constant zone size. The product purity increases with temperature difference between the melt and ambient frozen environment. The appropriate temperature difference is adopted 50℃. The product purity in the intermediate region of sample bar with 2 molten zones is higher 0.05%-0.43% than that with 1 molten zone. In addition, the change of enthalpy and entropy between impurities and 1,2-diphenylethane have been determined.     

Synthesis and characterization of SrFeOx hetero-film resistance-switching device with low operation voltage

As a critical topological phase transition material, SrFeO_x could play an essential role in the field of resistive memory. How to implement resistance-switching more softly and ensure the stability of materials has always been a relevant research hotspot. Regulating the oxygen environment during the deposition process of the films can effectively control the stoichiometry of the functional layer and then improve the resistance-switching characteristics of the device. In this paper, a SrFeO_x hetero-film was prepared by oxygen pretreatment on the SrRuO₃ surface before SrFeO_x deposition, and the as-assembled micrometer-scale device exhibits a low set operating voltage of 0.6 V and favorable cycling characteristics. The SrFeO_x hetero-film reveals a vertical brownmillerite superlattice-like structure with ～20 nm perovskite buffer layer, which benefits the connection and rupture of conductive filament. Additionally, XPS and UV–vis were used to analyze the bonding energy and band gap of SrFeO_x hetero-film, and offers the experimental basis for the explanation of the conductive mechanism. Therefore, the device based on SrFeO_x hetero-film with low operation voltage provides a reference for low power consumption research on topological phase transition material.     

Novel nanometer alumina-silica insulation board with ultra-low thermal conductivity

Advanced nano-porous super thermal insulation materials are widely used in spacecraft, soler-thermal shielding, heat exchangers, photocatalytic carriers due to their low thermal conductivity. In this work, adopting dry preparation technology, nano-Al₂O₃, nano-SiO₂, SiC and glass fibers as raw materials, novel nanometer alumina-silica insulation board (NAIB) were prepared. The preparation process was simple, safe, and reliable. In addition, the NAIB exhibited a high porosity (91.3–92.3%), small pore size (39.83–44.15 nm), low bulk density (0.22–0.26 g/cm³), better volumetric stability, and low thermal conductivity (0.031–0.050 W/(m·K) (200–800 °C)), respectively. The as-prepared NAIB could render them suitable for application as high-temperature thermal insulation materials.
