Investigation into adsorption equilibrium and thermodynamics for water vapor on montmorillonite clay

The isothermal adsorption curves for water vapor on montmorillonite were measured by a gravimetric adsorption system. Dent's model was employed to estimate the adsorption behaviors of water vapor on primary adsorption sites and secondary adsorption sites. The thermodynamics analysis of water vapor adsorption was performed. At low vapor pressure region, primary adsorption predominates, and with increasing vapor pressure, secondary adsorption becomes notable. Primary adsorption sites have an evidently stronger adsorption affinity than secondary adsorption sites. With increasing vapor pressure, Gibbs free energy variation rapidly increases and then reduces slowly. Although increasing vapor pressure raises adsorption spontaneity on primary adsorption sites, the enhancement in vapor pressure decreases the spontaneity of water vapor adsorption on secondary adsorption sites. As adsorbed loading increases, isosteric heat of adsorption and entropy loss decrease first and then increase quickly. The gradually growing water clusters are responsible for the increase of entropy loss at late stage.     

超声协助蒙脱土分散于聚磷酸铵阻燃聚丙烯的研究

阻燃剂能够增强聚丙烯（PP）的阻燃性能,但也会降低其力学性能,因此对阻燃剂进行改性以改善聚丙烯的力学性能显得至关重要。以传统的膨胀型阻燃剂（IFR）[由聚磷酸铵（APP）、季戊四醇（PER）、三聚氰胺（MA）组成]为PP阻燃。在合成APP过程中引入有机蒙脱土（OMt）。APP围绕OMt形成,剥离OMt使其能够较好地分散在阻燃剂中。为使OMt更好地分散在阻燃剂中,在磷酸氢二铵（DAP）、尿素（UREA）溶液中加入OMt,之后对溶液进行超声处理,蒸干后形成DAP-UREA-OMt与五氧化二磷反应生成APP。在PP中添加改性阻燃剂,有助于PP材料阻燃性能的提升与减缓力学性能的下降。当阻燃剂添加量为30%（阻燃剂添加量占总质量的质量分数）时,PP/IFR_APP/OMt复合材料的氧指数达到29.8%,通过V-0测试,拉伸强度为22.0 MPa,高出传统方法0.7 MPa。

The critical organic modifier aliphatic tail length for the formation of poly(methyl methacrylate)-montmorillonite nanocomposites

In this article, we report the influence of organic modifier structure (alkyl chain length C8-C20, single vs ditallow) and thereby, the effect of hydrophobicity on the structure, thermal and mechanical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-clay hybrids. Melt processed PMMA-clay hybrids were characterized using wide-angle X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The organoclays having an alkyl chain length of more than 12 CH₂ groups resulted in the formation of nanocomposites. The glass transition temperature (T_g) of PMMA increased in the presence of clay. The mean-field lattice model was used to predict the free energy for nanocomposite formation, which showed a reasonable match with the experimental results and provided a general guideline for the proper selection of polymer and organoclay (ie, organic modifier) to obtain nanocomposite. Tensile modulus showed maximum improvement of 58% for the nanocomposites compared to 9% improvement for the composites. Tensile modulus increased with increases in the alkyl chain length of the organic modifier and clay loading. The level of improvement for the tensile properties of nanocomposites prepared from primary and secondary ammonium-modified clay is the same as that obtained with the commercial organoclays.
