Novel poly(aryl ether nitrile ketone) foams and the influence of copolymer structure on the foaming result

Novel poly(aryl ether nitrile ketone) foams were prepared through the batch foaming method with supercritical CO₂ as the blowing agent. Both temperature‐induced and pressure‐induced foaming methods were conducted to examine the influence of nitrile groups on the foaming result. The results indicated that nitrile groups influenced the foaming result by affecting both the viscoelasticity and CO₂ absorption of the polymers. In addition, the CO₂ solubility of the polymers increased with increasing CN content presumably because of the Lewis acid–base nature of the interaction between the CO₂ molecules and the nitrile groups. The cell growth process was assessed by analyzing the influence of foaming temperature and foaming time on the cell morphology. Nanocellular foams with a minimum size of 30–50 nm were achieved by the temperature‐induced foaming method. Moreover, highly expanded foams with a maximum expansion ratio of 23.6 were obtained by the pressure‐induced foaming method. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry     

含氢类金刚石涂层在船用柴油机柱塞上的应用

利用磁控溅射和等离子增强化学气相沉积复合技术,以 Cr、WC、石墨为靶材,Ar和C₂H₂为工作气体,在船用低速柴油机柱塞上涂覆了过渡层依次为Cr、WC的含氢类金刚石涂层。结果表明:涂层晶体生长良好,结构连续致密,均未出现分层、开裂及剥离的现象;涂层相对光滑,大幅度提高了柱塞表面的纳米硬度与弹性模量,同时降低了在重柴油环境下的摩擦因数,长时间的台架试验后未涂覆涂层的柱塞表面出现非常明显的平行状沟槽磨痕,而且整体磨损比较严重,而涂覆涂层的柱塞表面磨痕非常窄且浅,数量较少,类金刚石涂层可以明显提高柱塞表面的耐磨损性能。     

The formation of fibrous structure of polyamide 6 induced by the three-step forming process and its prominent reinforcement in nitrile rubber

Nitrile rubber (NBR) blends with excellent performance have always been a hot research topic in petroleum field. Due to the excellent performance and compatibility of polyamide 6 (PA6), it provides an opportunity for the preparation of high-performance NBR/PA6 blends. In this article, NBR/PA6 blends were prepared by the three-step molding process. Experimentally, it was found that PA6 has a prominent reinforcement effect in NBR matrix. The variation of this mechanical property was investigated from different aspects of the crystal structure, crystallinities, phase morphology, and so on. It can be cleared that the formation of fibrous structure of PA6 phase is the main factor for reinforcement of the polymer blends. Meanwhile, the formation mechanism of the special phase structure induced by the three-step process is deeply expounded and its structural evolution schematic is established. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Highly Stable COF‐Supported Co/Co(OH)2 Nanoparticles Heterogeneous Catalyst for Reduction of Nitrile/Nitro Compounds under Mild Conditions

Ordered nanoporosity in covalent organic framework (COF) offers excellent opportunity for property development. Loading nanoparticles (nPs) onto them is one approach to introducing tailor‐made properties into a COF. Here, a COF–Co/Co(OH)₂ composite containing about 16 wt% of <6 nm sized Co/Co(OH)₂ nPs is prepared on a N‐rich COF support that catalyzes the release of theoretical equivalence of H₂ from readily available, safe, and cheap NaBH₄. Furthermore, the released H₂ is utilized for the hydrogenation of nitrile and nitro compounds to amines under ambient conditions in a facile one‐pot reaction. The COF “by choice” is built from “methoxy” functionalized dialdehydes which is crucial in enabling the complete retention of the COF structure under the conditions of the catalysis, where the regular Schiff bonds would have hydrolyzed. The N‐rich binding pockets in the COF ensure strong nP–COF interactions, which provides stability and enables catalyst recycling. Modeling studies reveal the crucial role played by the COF in exposing the active facets and thereby in controlling the activation of the reducing agent. Additionally, via density functional theory, we provide a rational explanation for how these COFs can stabilize nanoparticles which grow beyond the limiting pore size of the COF and yet result in a truly stable heterogeneous catalyst – a ubiquitous observation. The study underscores the versatility of COF as a heterogeneous support for developing cheap and highly active nonnoble metal catalysts.

Synthesis,structural characterization and properties of novel functional poly(ether imide)/titania nanocomposite thin films

In this study, the synthesis, morphology, and thermal properties of new poly(ether imide)/titania nanohybrid films were investigated. The novel diamine containing functional nitrile groups was prepared in two steps by the nucleophilic substitution reaction and it was fully characterized by different techniques. Reaction of this diamine with pyromellitic dianhydride and 4-aminobenzoic acid gave poly(ether imide) with carboxylic acid end groups. This acid functionalized poly(ether imide) was condense with different amount of TiO₂ nanoparticles to provide organic-inorganic bonding, and the flexible films of these hybrid were prepared. The obtained materials were characterized by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray powder diffraction, UV–Vis spectroscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. TEM of the nanohybrid films with 12% of TiO₂ contents confirms well dispersion of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix. TGA data indicated that the thermal behavior of the hybrid materials was increased with an increasing the content of TiO₂ nanoparticles. The tensile stress–strain of the hybrids was investigated and the resulting nanocomposites showed good mechanical properties. The permeability and selectivity of the PEI/TiO₂ membranes as a function of the titania weight percentage were study and the results indicated that the permeabilities of CO₂ and N₂ increase with increasing the titania content.
