Toward an understanding of how red phosphorus and expandable graphite enhance the fire resistance of expandable polystyrene foams

Flame retardant expandable polystyrene (EPS) foams were prepared by coating method. Red phosphorus (RP) and expandable graphite (EG) were chosen as the flame retardants to be coated on the surface of expanded PS beads. By the presence of 33 phr RP/EG with a mass ratio of 1:1, the limiting oxygen index of EPS foam could reach up to 26.9%, with V-0 rating obtained in UL-94 test. The peak heat release rate could also decrease to 180.67 kW/m², which was 72.9% lower than that of neat EPS sample. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed an obvious increase of thermal stability and residue char amount by the presence of RP and EG. From the observation and analysis of char residue, it could be proposed that there existed a significant synergistic effect between RP and EG. RP could be oxidized and further react with graphite by the presence of oxygen at high temperature, forming isolated char layer and releasing nonflammable gases. Moreover, P radicals were generated at high temperature and could capture the radicals formed during the combustion of polystyrene and eliminate the burning chain reactions.     

Application of ultrasound treatment for modulating the structural,functional and rheological properties of black bean protein isolates

The modulating effect of ultrasound treatments at varying powers and times on the structural and functional properties of black bean protein isolate (BBPI) was investigated. Compared with native BBPI, low-power (150 W) and medium-power (300 W) ultrasound treatments increased the solubility, foaming and emulsifying properties of BBPI, especially at 300 W, 24 min. This effect arises predominantly due to increased exposure of hydrophobic groups, which serve to increase the interactions between the protein and water molecules. Additionally, an increase in the protein surface activity improved the absorption of protein molecules at the oil–water and air–water interfaces. Rheology data showed that increased hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonding interactions improved the water-holding capacity of BBPI gels following ultrasound treatment. However, high-power (450 W) ultrasound treatment weakened the functional properties of BBPI, and this was likely due to the formation of macromolecular BBPI aggregates. Overall, this study indicates that ultrasound treatment could be a promising approach for modulating other plant protein resources as well as expanding the application of black bean protein.

闸片材料参数与制动盘温度关系

闸片材料参数不仅关系到摩擦副的摩擦磨损性能,也是影响制动盘温度分布的一个重要因素。采用ADINA软件,建立列车制动盘和闸片的三维热机耦合有限元模型,在制动速度100 km/h、压力0.538 MPa和惯量23 kg·m2条件下,研究闸片材料热膨胀系数、弹性模量、热传导系数对制动盘温度和接触压力的影响。结果表明:当闸片热膨胀系数从0.5×10-5 K-1增大到2.5×10-5 K-1时,制动盘峰值温度升高8.4%,最大接触压力增大47%,闸片热膨胀系数的增大加剧接触压力分布不均匀程度而使制动盘温度变化明显;弹性模量增大9倍,接触压力的分布对弹性模量不敏感,弹性模量对盘面温度影响不明显。闸片热传导系数增大7倍,制动盘峰值温度下降4.3%,热传导系数增大,加快热量的扩散速度使制动盘峰值温度降低,该研究结论可为高速列车闸片材料的开发提供参考。
