采用熔融法制备聚乙烯/聚乙烯蜡共混物,并研究了不同牌号的聚乙烯及质量分数对共混物熔点和结晶形态的影响。结果表明,加入聚乙烯后,共混物的熔点有明显的提高,随着聚乙烯质量分数的升高,共混物的熔点也随之升高;同时重结晶效果也有了极大的改善。当加入牌号为JHMGC100S4.26A的聚乙烯时对共混物熔点的提高最为明显,在其质量分数为5%时,共混物的熔点比原料提高了11.8℃,达到96.1℃;此时共混物的晶粒尺寸最小,排列最紧密。

Long-term atmospheric corrosion of mild steel

A great deal of information is available on the atmospheric corrosion of mild steel in the short, mid and even long term, but studies of the structure and morphology of corrosion layers are less abundant and generally deal with those formed in just a few years. The present study assesses the structure and morphology of corrosion product layers formed on mild steel after 13 years of exposure in five Spanish atmospheres of different types: rural, urban, industrial and marine (mild and severe). The corrosion layers have been characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). Long-term corrosion is seen to be more severe in the industrial and marine atmospheres, and less so in the rural and urban atmospheres. In all cases the corrosion rate is seen to decrease with exposure time, stabilising after the first 4–6 years of exposure. The most relevant aspects to be noted are (a) the great compaction of the rust layers formed in the rural and urban atmospheres, (b) the formation of hematite and ferrihydrite phases (not commonly found) in the industrial and marine atmospheres, respectively and (c) identification of the typical morphological structures of lepidocrocite (sandy crystals and flowery plates), goethite (cotton balls structures) and akaganeite (cotton balls structures and cigar-shaped crystals).     

Effect of surfactants on morphology and luminescent properties of CaMoO4: Eu red phosphors

Using polyethylene glycol (PEG), Tween-80, sodium dodecyl sulphonate (SAS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactants, CaMoO₄: Eu³⁺ red phosphors were prepared by co-precipitation method and their morphology, structure and luminescent properties were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fluorescence spectrometer. The results showed that the introduction of surfactants did not change the crystal structure of CaMoO₄: Eu³⁺ phosphors, but greatly influenced their morphology. CaMoO₄: Eu³⁺ red phosphors were prepared with 5 wt% PEG20000 having small-sized and regularly spherical morphology, and there were greater improvement in the luminescent intensity than phosphors prepared with other surfactants.     

Advanced chemically induced phase separation in thermosets: Polybenzoxazines toughened with multifunctional thermoplastic main-chain benzoxazine prepolymers

Multifunctional thermoplastic main-chain benzoxazine prepolymers were synthesized and systematically varied in their structure in order to function as high-performance toughener additives. Their unique chemical composition allows multiple covalent crosslinking with many thermoset network systems including benzoxazines and epoxides in conjunction with a defined chemical induced phase separation (CIPS) upon curing. This was successfully shown using a benzoxazine-based thermoset resin matrix as an example. The corresponding morphologies were addressable in a predictable manner and brought into context with the obtained macroscopic mechanical and thermal properties. In this relationship the CIPS process was classified and compared with the literature in more general means for advanced morphology control by differentiating between covalently attached and so-called gradient domain structures. The prepolymers were characterized by ¹H NMR, FT-IR, DSC and TGA. The thermoset morphologies were investigated by TEM and AFM. The fracture toughness (K_Ic) and the elastic modulus (E) were measured by fracture and three point bending experiments. Thermal properties of the resulting films have been tested by DMA.     

Food packaging based on polymer nanomaterials

Since its starting in the 19th century, modern food packaging has made great advances as results of global trends and consumer preferences. These advances are oriented to obtain improved food quality and safety. Moreover, with the move toward globalization, food packaging requires also longer shelf life, along with the monitoring of safety and quality based upon international standards. Nanotechnology can address all these requirements and extend and implement the principal packaging functions - containment, protection and preservation, marketing and communications. Applications of polymer nanotechnology in fact can provide new food packaging materials with improved mechanical, barrier and antimicrobial properties, together with nano-sensors for tracing and monitoring the condition of food during transport and storage.The latest innovations in food packaging, using improved, active and smart nanotechnology will be analyzed. It will be also discuss the limits to the development of the new polymer nanomaterials that have the potential to completely transform the food packaging industry.     

Synthesis and characterization of 5,7-dimethyl-8-hydroxyquinoline and 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole complexes of zinc(II) for optoelectronic application

Bis(5,7-dimethyl-8-hydroxyquinolinato)zinc(II) (Me₂q)₂Zn and 5,7-dimethyl-8-hydroxyquinolinato(2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole) zinc(II) Me₂q(pbi)Zn have been synthesized and characterized by various techniques. These metal complexes have high thermal stability (>300 °C) and high glass transition temperatures (>150 °C). The vacuum deposited films of these materials show good film forming property and are suitable for opto-electronic applications. Multilayered organic electroluminescent (EL) devices have been fabricated having structure ITO/α-NPD/zinc complex/BCP/Alq₃/LiF/Al, which produce emission with chromaticity having Commission Internationale d’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates x = 0.506 and y = 0.484 for (Me₂q)₂Zn; x = 0.47 and y = 0.52 for (Me₂q)(pbi)Zn complex. The electroluminescence spectra show peak emission centered at 572 and 561 nm respectively for these materials.     

Effect of mixed solvents on PCDTBT:PC70BM based solar cells

We investigated the effect of solvents on the morphology, charge transport and device performance of poly[N-9″-hepta-decanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4′,7′-di-2-thienyl-2′,1′,3′-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT) and [6,6]-phenyl C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC₇₀BM) based solar cells. To carry out this investigation, chloroform and 1,2-dichlorobenzene were chosen as good solvents of the two compounds. Films prepared with chloroform exhibit larger domains than those prepared with 1,2-dichlorobenzene and their size increases with the amount of PC₇₀BM. Fine tuning of the domain size was realized by using a solvent of mixed chloroform and 1,2-dichlorobenzene. At a mixing ratio of 50%:50%, a power conversion efficiency of 6.1% was achieved on PCDTBT:PC₇₀BM (1:3) devices with an active area of 1 cm², under air mass 1.5 global (AM 1.5 G) irradiation at 100 mW/cm².     

HSV空间和形态学处理相结合的车牌定位方法

车牌定位是实现车牌自动识别的前提.在传统的基于RGB彩色空间的形态学定位方法的基础上进行改进,提出了一种HSV彩色空间和图像形态学处理相结合的车牌定位方法.在HSV彩色空间中将车牌图像分割为H,S,V这3个单通道灰度图像,分别进行去噪和二值化处理,然后将这3幅二值图像做“与”运算得到一幅能有效去除背景干扰的二值图像,再运用形态学的闭运算和开运算进行处理,得到车牌候选区域,最后利用车牌宽高比属性进行验证以确定真实的车牌位置.实验结果表明,该方法相对传统方法实现简单,车牌定位准确、高效.
