通过添加聚苯乙烯(PS)、热塑性弹性体苯乙烯-丁二烯-苯乙烯共聚物(SBS),以改善聚丙烯(PP)的性能。先采用熔融法制备PP/PS共混物,在确定PP,PS最佳配比的基础上,再添加SBS制备PP/PS/SBS共混物,确定了PP,PS及SBS的最佳配比。研究了PP/PS,PP/PS/SBS共混物的力学性能、热性能及熔体流动行为。结果表明,当PP与PS的质量比为70∶30时,PP/PS共混物的性能最好,其拉伸强度为28.5 MPa,拉伸弹性模量为1 214 MPa,弯曲弹性模量为1 752 MPa,冲击强度为14.0 kJ/m2,断裂应变为130%,维卡软化温度为143.9℃。当PP,PS及SBS的质量比为70∶30∶10时,PP/PS/SBS共混物的性能最好,其拉伸强度为23.2 MPa,拉伸弹性模量1 040 MPa,断裂应变为260%,冲击强度为18.0 kJ/m2,弯曲强度为36.5 MPa,弯曲弹性模量为1 297 MPa,定挠度弯曲应力为36.1 MPa,弯曲破坏应力为36.5 MPa,熔体流动速率为8.94 g/(10 min),维卡软化温度为139.0℃。     

氯化聚乙烯对ABS/PVC合金性能的影响

以氯化聚乙烯(CPE)为增韧剂,用双螺杆挤出机共混制备丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯塑料(ABS)/聚氯乙烯(PVC)合金。研究了PVC及CPE用量对ABS/PVC合金的拉伸强度、弯曲强度、缺口冲击强度、维卡软化温度、氧指数和熔体流动性的影响。结果表明,随着PVC用量的增加,ABS/PVC合金的拉伸强度略有增加,弯曲强度基本不变,冲击强度呈现先略增加然后显著降低的趋势,维卡软化温度降低,氧指数增加;随着CPE用量增加,ABS/PVC合金的缺口冲击强度增加,拉伸强度和弯曲强度降低,氧指数和维卡软化温度变化很小,当ABS/PVC/CPE为40/60/15时,合金的拉伸强度为39.8 MPa、弯曲强度为60.8 MPa、缺口冲击强度为18.3 kJ/m2,氧指数为29.7%。

Direct observation of freeze-thaw instability of latex coatings via high pressure freezing and cryogenic SEM

Despite its industrial importance, the subject of freeze-thaw (F/T) stability of latex coatings has not been studied extensively. There is also a lack of fundamental understanding about the process and the mechanisms through which a coating becomes destabilized. High pressure (2100 bar) freezing fixes the state of water-suspended particles of polymer binder and inorganic pigments without the growth of ice crystals during freezing that produce artifacts in direct imaging scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of fracture surfaces of frozen coatings. We show that by incorporating copolymerizable functional monomers, it is possible to achieve F/T stability in polymer latexes and in low-VOC paints, as judged by the microstructures revealed by the cryogenic SEM technique. Particle coalescence as well as pigment segregation in F/T unstable systems are visualized. In order to achieve F/T stability in paints, latex particles must not flocculate and should provide protection to inorganic pigment and extender particles. Because of the unique capabilities of the cryogenic SEM, we are able to separate the effects of freezing and thawing, and study the influence of the rate of freezing and thawing on F/T stability. Destabilization can be caused by either freezing or thawing. A slow freezing process is more detrimental to F/T stability than a fast freezing process; the latter actually preserves suspension stability during freezing.

Gordon Best Paper Competition.     

Ethanol and (−)-α-Pinene: Attractant Kairomones for Bark and Ambrosia Beetles in the Southeastern US

In 2002–2004, we examined the flight responses of 49 species of native and exotic bark and ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae and Platypodidae) to traps baited with ethanol and/or (−)-α-pinene in the southeastern US. Eight field trials were conducted in mature pine stands in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Funnel traps baited with ethanol lures (release rate, about 0.6 g/day at 25–28°C) were attractive to ten species of ambrosia beetles (Ambrosiodmus tachygraphus, Anisandrus sayi, Dryoxylon onoharaensum, Monarthrum mali, Xyleborinus saxesenii, Xyleborus affinis, Xyleborus ferrugineus, Xylosandrus compactus, Xylosandrus crassiusculus, and Xylosandrus germanus) and two species of bark beetles (Cryptocarenus heveae and Hypothenemus sp.). Traps baited with (−)-α-pinene lures (release rate, 2–6 g/day at 25–28°C) were attractive to five bark beetle species (Dendroctonus terebrans, Hylastes porculus, Hylastes salebrosus, Hylastes tenuis, and Ips grandicollis) and one platypodid ambrosia beetle species (Myoplatypus flavicornis). Ethanol enhanced responses of some species (Xyleborus pubescens, H. porculus, H. salebrosus, H. tenuis, and Pityophthorus cariniceps) to traps baited with (−)-α-pinene in some locations. (−)-α-Pinene interrupted the response of some ambrosia beetle species to traps baited with ethanol, but only the response of D. onoharaensum was interrupted consistently at most locations. Of 23 species of ambrosia beetles captured in our field trials, nine were exotic and accounted for 70–97% of total catches of ambrosia beetles. Our results provide support for the continued use of separate traps baited with ethanol alone and ethanol with (−)-α-pinene to detect and monitor common bark and ambrosia beetles from the southeastern region of the US.     

Methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates Attract Stink Bugs and Tachinid Parasitoids

Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Pentatomidae), called the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), is a newly invasive species in the eastern USA that is rapidly spreading from the original point of establishment in Allentown, PA. In its native range, the BMSB is reportedly attracted to methyl (E,E,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate, the male-produced pheromone of another pentatomid common in eastern Asia, Plautia stali Scott. In North America, Thyanta spp. are the only pentatomids known to produce methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoate [the (E,Z,Z)-isomer] as part of their pheromones. Methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates were field-tested in Maryland to monitor the spread of the BMSB and to explore the possibility that Thyanta spp. are an alternate host for parasitic tachinid flies that use stink bug pheromones as host-finding kairomones. Here we report the first captures of adult and nymph BMSBs in traps baited with methyl (E,E,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate in central Maryland and present data verifying that the tachinid, Euclytia flava (Townsend), exploits methyl (E,Z,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate as a kairomone. We also report the unexpected finding that various isomers of methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoate attract Acrosternum hilare (Say), although this bug apparently does not produce methyl decatrienoates. Other stink bugs and tachinids native to North America were also attracted to methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates. These data indicate there are Heteroptera in North America in addition to Thyanta spp. that probably use methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates as pheromones. The evidence that some pentatomids exploit the pheromones of other true bugs as kairomones to find food or to congregate as a passive defense against tachinid parasitism is discussed.
