Structures and electronic properties of surface/edges of nanodiamond and nanographite

The structure, electronic and magnetic properties of nanodiamond and nanographite/nanographene are investigated. Detonation nanodiamond particles that are covered with amorphous graphitic composites are hydrothermally treated to remove the graphitic surface composites and to terminate the surface carbon atoms with hydrogen. The number of localized spins of dangling bonds and the hydrogen concentration increase upon the increase in the hydrothermal treatment time up to 40 h. Above 40 h, both drop discontinuously, a surface structural reconstruction was suggested. The creation of dangling bonds and an incomplete hydrogenation of the surface carbon atoms destabilize the surface, resulting in the structural reconstruction. Nanodiamond particles are thermally converted to nanographite/nanographene. A single nanographene sheet is successfully prepared by heat-treating nanodiamond particles. The edge of graphene sheet with its edge carbon atoms being hydrogen-terminated is investigated by UHV-STM/STS. Zigzag edges are found to have non-bonding π-state of edge origin, in good agreement with theoretical prediction.     

Adhesives in construction: A contractor's viewpoint

The development of epoxy- and polyester-based adhesives has dramatically widened the scope of adhesive bonding in the civil engineering industry but the technology of the adhesives used has often been more appropriate to the workshop than to the construction site. There is a need for the suppliers of structural adhesives to recognize this and to develop compositions and application techniques more amenable to site use. It is equally necessary for the construction industry to make more effort to understand these materials, to take advantage of their outstanding properties, and hence to use them successfully for the construction and repair of concrete structures.     

Relationships Between the Crystal Structures and the Multiple Melting Behaviors of Poly(ethylene 2,6‐naphthalate)

Summary: Poly(ethylene 2,6‐naphthalate) (PEN) can crystallize either from the glassy state or from the melt state. When crystallized from the glassy state, the sample was quenched from the melt in liquid nitrogen and then annealed at certain crystallization temperatures. When crystallized from the melt state, the sample was cooled to a preset temperature from the melt and then annealed for a certain time. The crystal modifications, morphologies and melting behaviors of PEN were investigated by means of wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), polarized optical microscopy (POM), small‐angle light scattering (SALS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that an α crystal modification of PEN was obtained when PEN crystallized from the glassy state, whilst a β crystal modification was obtained when PEN crystallized from the melt state at a higher temperature. An hedritic morphology of PEN crystal was obtained with only one melting peak observed in DSC curves when PEN was crystallized at a higher temperature from either the glassy state or the melt state. The α crystal modification could also be obtained when PEN was crystallized at a lower temperature from the melt. Spherulitic or banded spherulitic morphologies of PEN crystals, exhibiting multiple melting peaks in DSC curves, were observed when PEN was crystallized at a lower temperature. The multiple melting behaviors of PEN crystals may be associated with spherulitic structures composed of lamellae of varying thickness.

低温化学气相沉积SiC涂层显微结构及晶体结构研究

在CH_3SiCl_3-H_2体系中,采用化学气相沉积法(CVD)在1000～1300℃制备了SiC涂层。研究了SiC涂层的沉积速率和温度之间的关系,发现低温化学气相沉积SiC为动力学控制过程,反应的表观活化能为85～156 kJ/mol。SiC涂层的外观颜色及涂层表面的显微结构随沉积温度变化而呈现规律的变化:当沉积温度<1150℃时,SiC涂层的外观颜色为银白色,涂层表面致密、光滑;当温度≥1150℃时,SiC涂层外观颜色逐渐变暗,涂层表面变得疏松、粗糙。利用XRD分析了不同沉积温度下SiC涂层的晶体结构,随着温度的升高,SiC涂层的结晶由不完整趋向于完整;当沉积温度≥1150℃,SiC涂层的XRD谱图中除了β-SiC外还出现了少量α-SiC。     

Isothermal crystallization kinetics and morphology development of isotactic polypropylene blends with atactic polypropylene

The crystallization kinetics and morphology development of pure isotactic polypropylene (iPP) homopolymer and iPP blended with atactic polypropylene (aPP) at different aPP contents and the isothermal crystallization temperatures were studied with differential scanning calorimetry, wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, and polarized optical microscopy. The spherulitic morphologies of pure iPP and larger amounts of aPP for iPP blends showed the negative spherulite, whereas that of smaller amounts of aPP for the iPP blends showed a combination of positive and negative spherulites. This indicated that the morphology transition of the spherulite may have been due to changes the crystal forms of iPP in the iPP blends during crystallization. Therefore, with smaller amounts of aPP, the spherulitic density and overall crystallinity of the iPP blends increased with increasing aPP and presented a lower degree of perfection of the γ form coexisting with the α form of iPP during crystallization. However, with larger amounts of aPP, the spherulitic density and overall crystallinity of the iPP blends decreased and reduced the γ‐form crystals with increasing aPP. These results indicate that the aPP molecules hindered the nucleation rate and promoted the molecular motion and growth rate of iPP with smaller amounts of aPP and hindered both the nucleation rate and growth rate of iPP with larger amounts of aPP during isothermal crystallization. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
