p-Hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA) plays a significant role in sustaining the oxidative stability of macadamia nut oil (MNO). However, PHBA undergoes thermal decarboxylation and loses its bioactive antioxidant properties. In this study, we determine PHBA degradation kinetics in oils at various heating temperatures, which provides fundamental understanding of PHBA thermal degradation in oils and oil quality changes during high-temperature processing. PHBA degradation kinetics in MNO, olive oil, and corn oil were evaluated at temperatures typical for cooking and frying. PBHA headspace concentration was measured using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry. PHBA decarboxylation followed a zero-order reaction, where degradation could be affected by factors such as the type of oil matrix having different FA compositions, antioxidants, and component interactions. PHBA degradation activation energies (Ea) showed that PHBA was more stable against thermal decarboxylation in MNO (85 kJ mol–1) than in olive oil (40 kJ mol−1) or corn oil (22 kJ mol−1). The higher enthalpy () of decarboxylation in MNO (82 kJ mol−1) indicates that PHBA is more inhibited from decomposition than olive oil (37 kJ mol−1) or corn oil (19 kJ mol−1). Moreover, the negative entropy values () of PHBA degradation from MNO (−192 J mol−1 K−1), olive oil (−277 J mol−1 K−1), and corn oil (−325 J mol−1 K−1) indicates that these oils impart some inhibitory properties against PHBA thermal decarboxylation. 相似文献
In the present work, a rheological study of liquid soaps prepared from different mixture of surfactants as a function of surfactant type and concentration was performed. The curves of shear stress vs. shear rate and viscosity vs. shear rate were recorded at constant temperature, 294 ± 0.1 K. The surface activity properties were also studied. The results of the study showed that values of surface tension, γ, were in the range 31–40 mN m−1 and the critical micelle concentration (CMC), was of the order 10−4 mol L−1. The calculated maximum surface excess, Γmax, varied from 2.40 to 3.66 μmol m−2, while minimum area per molecule, Amin, varied from 41.1 (for amphoterics) to 81.4 Å2 (for nonionic surfactants). The standard free energy of micellization, −29.8 and −29.3 kJ mol−1 for anionic and amphoteric surfactants, respectively, were while values for nonionic surfactants varied between −31.8 and − 30.3 kJ mol−1. The free energy of adsorption, was the lowest for amphoteric surfactants (−37.9 kJ mol−1), followed by anionics (−40.4 kJ mol−1) and nonionics (−43.34 to −46.84 kJ mol−1), indicating that micellization process is spontaneous in the examined medium. The synthetized liquid soaps show pseudoplastic behavior and they achieved pipe flow. The results of this research indicate that flow behavior was affected significantly by the ionic charge of the surfactant and the ionic strength of the formulation, suggesting that the flow behavior could be changed by manipulating the choice of the surfactant and salinity. The pH value of all liquid soaps examined were weakly acidic, in the range of 5.0–6.4. 相似文献
Simultaneous two-component interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) of polyurethane (PU)–poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) were prepared, as well as the corresponding pseudo-IPNs. A comparison was made between the full IPNs, pseudo-IPNs, and the respective homopolymers. Their ultimate mechanical properties were obtained and the dynamic glass transition temperatures (Tg's) were found using a thermomechanical analyzer. At all compositions, a single Tg(except 50–50 wt %) was found. 相似文献
Composite films were obtained by placing a polyurethane/amylose acetate semi‐interpenetrating polymer network (SIPN) coating onto the surfaces of regenerated cellulose (RC) film. The properties of the composite film, such as tensile strength, 79.9 MPa (in dry state), 49.5 MPa (in wet state), water resistance (R), 0.62, dimensional stability (Sc), 3.0%, and water vapor permeability (P), 5.96 × 10−5 Kgm−2h−1, are better than those of the uncoated RC film or RC film with PU coating. The interfacial strength was characterized with infrared spectroscopy (IR), ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The results showed the existence of covalent and hydrogen bonds between the SIPN coat layer and the RC layer. It was also found that the PU prepolymer in the coating layer penetrated into the cellulose bulk, and reacted with the cellulose molecules, which formed another SIPN. 相似文献
Reactions of H atoms with COS, CS2, and H2S were studied behind reflected shock waves at temperatures between 1170 K and 1830 K and pressures around 1.0 bar by applying atomic resonance absorption spectroscopy (ARAS) for time-resolved measurements of H atoms at Lα. The thermal decomposition of a few ppm ethyl iodide (C2H5I) was used as a H-atom source. In the presence of a large excess of the molecular reactant COS, CS2, or H2S, a consumption of H was observed which follows a pseudo first-order rate law. Rate coefficients for the reactions: were determined to be: k1 = 2.4 × 1014exp(–3415 K/T) cm3mol−1s−1k2 = 1.4 × 1015exp(–9250 K/T) cm3mol−1s−1k3 = 2.5 × 1014exp(–2890 K/T) cm3mol−1s−1相似文献
The reaction of silane with atomic oxygen (3P) was investigated by the shock-tube–laser-photolysis method over the temperature range of 900–1170 K. Oxygen atoms were produced by the ArF laser photolysis of SO2 behind reflected shock waves and monitored with atomic resonance absorption spectroscopy. The rate constant for the SiH4 + O reaction was evaluated by taking the possible contribution of the consecutive reaction into consideration. The Arrhenius temperature coefficient was determined to be Ea= 26.6 kJ mol−1, which is much higher than the experimental activation energies obtained at lower temperatures. Rate constants calculated by a transition state theory with the reaction barrier height of E0= 10.2 kJ mol−1 agreed well with both the present and the previous experimental results for a wide temperature range. 相似文献
In an electron beam (EB) polymerization of a urethane-acrylate prepolymer, the polymerization temperature greatly affected the structure and properties of the resulting gel film. Urethaneacrylate, which was synthesized by the reaction of poly(butylene adipate)diol, 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, was used as a prepolymer. The prepolymer was semicrystalline and showed a melting point in the region of 50–60°C. The maximum polymerization rate of the prepolymer was obtained when the prepolymer film was irradiated in the temperature range of 25–40°C. EB polymerization below the melting point (Tm) of the prepolymer produced semicrystalline polyurethane-acrylate gel films with a spherulitic texture. On the other hand, EB polymerization above the Tm destroyed the crystalline phase of the prepolymer to give transparent gel films. The gel film cured below the Tm had higher stress at yield, Young's modulus, and tensile strength than those cured above the Tm. Such temperature effects are attributed to whether or not the EB polymerization proceeds with retention of crystalline structure of the prepolymer. 相似文献
Trans‐1,4,5,8‐Tetranitro‐1,4,5,8‐Tetraazadecalin (TNAD), a cyclic nitroamine, has been studied with regard to the kinetics and mechanism of thermal decomposition, using thermogravimetry (TG), IR spectroscopy, and pressure differential scanning calorimetry (PDSC). The IR spectra of TNAD have also been recorded, and the kinetics of thermolysis has been followed by non‐isothermal TG. The activation energy of the solid‐state process was determined by using the Flynn‐Wall‐Ozawa method. Compared with the activation energy obtained from the Ozawa method, the reaction mechanism of the exothermic process of TNAD was classified by the Coats‐Redfern method as a nucleation and nuclear growth (Avrami equation 1) chemical reaction (α=0.30–0.60) and a 2D diffusion (Valensi equation) chemical reaction (α=0.60–0.90). Ea and ln A were established to be 330.14 kJ mol−1 and 29.93 (α=0.30–0.60) or 250.30 kJ mol−1 and 21.62 (α=0.60–0.90). 相似文献
