Halogenation effect promoted low bandgap polymers based on asymmetric isoindigo unit with low energy loss

To optimize the energy levels of the structural framework of isoindigo polymers, a series of asymmetric isoindigo based low bandgap polymers with chlorine, fluorine and thiazole substituents was constructed and their optical, electrochemical and photovoltaic properties were comparatively evaluated for the impact of different substitutions. In comparison with the polymer based on 2,2'‐bithiophene and isoindigo unit (PTi) with non‐substituted bithiophene as the donor moiety, the highest occupied molecular orbital energy level for the newly synthesized polymers is significantly decreased, and in turn an improvement of the open‐circuit voltage (V_OC) is noted in the corresponding photovoltaic devices. More importantly, combined with a low bandgap of 1.32 eV, the energy losses (E_loss) could be reduced to 0.61 eV for polymer based on chlorinated 2,2'‐bithiophene and isoindigo unit (PCl). In addition, the halogen moieties are observed to be superior in device fabrication and give better values than the thiazole substituent. Both fluorinated and chlorinated polymer donors exhibited improved performance compared with the original polymer PTi. Consequently, this work not only presents the influence of different electron withdrawing substituents on the physicochemical and photovoltaic performance, but also backs the concept of how to reduce the energy loss via the heteroatom effect. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

Recycling of Polyethylene Bags into High-Strength Yarns Without Using Melt Processing

A critical issue facing mankind is how to effectively recycle plastic grocery bags. Currently, the most proven practice for bag recycling is to create numerous returning sites throughout the nation. However, the success is compromised by the voluntary nature of such activities. In this work, we investigate an alternative approach to bag returning, by diverting recycling activities directly to consumers or end users at home. Specifically, a simple process for converting waste bags into high-strength fibers and yarns is designed and tested in an experimental feasibility study. The results from tensile testing and thermal analysis demonstrate that by a combined process sequence of cutting, knotting, twisting, hot drawing, and heat setting, high-strength polyethylene yarns with mechanical properties comparable to those of melt-spun polyethylene fibers can be produced. Without the involvement of melt processing, yarns made of a waste high-density polyethylene grocery bag material were hot drawn and heat set to achieve a tensile strength of 330 MPa. Yarns with such ternacity are expected to find numerous applications in textile, flooring, and leisure products. This may open up a new paradigm in plastic bags recycling and allow part of the recycling burden to be shifted to local residential communities. POLYM. ENG.

A variational approach for free vibrating micro-rods with classical and non-classical new boundary conditions accounting for nonlocal strengthening and temperature effects

Abstract

Transverse vibration of a circular cross sectional micro-rod subjected to a new kind of boundary constraints with elastic torsional springs is presented based on nonlocal elasticity. A nonlocal strengthening beam model is utilized and the effect of temperature changing is taken into consideration. The variational method and Hamilton’s principle are applied to derive the governing equation of motion and corresponding boundary conditions. A higher-order partial differential equation that is a typical characteristic of nonlocal strengthening model is developed, and the boundary conditions contain not only classical conditions but also non-classical higher-order conditions. Unlike previous studies which were only concerned with some conventional boundary constraints, we consider more general boundary conditions named elastic torsional spring supports. Such boundary conditions are between the simply supported and clamped ones, and they are closer to the actual constraints of existing engineering structures. Natural frequencies of micro-rods with new boundary constraints are determined via an eigenvalue method and compared with other results in the literature. It is shown that the nonlocal scale factor, thermal parameter, rigidity parameter and torsional spring coefficient play significant roles in free vibration of micro-rods. The research can provide a reference for a large class of boundary conditions ranging from simply supported to clamped micro-rods.     

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.
