Extensional rheometer for in situ x-ray scattering study on flow-induced crystallization of polymer

We designed and constructed an extensional rheometer for in situ small and wide angle x-ray study on flow-induced crystallization of polymer. Two rotating drums with an axis distance of 20 mm are employed to impose extensional deformation on the samples. With a constant angular velocity, the two drums generate a constant Henkcy strain rate as sample length for testing keeps constant during deformation. An ionic liquid is used as heating medium to prevent polymer melt from bending downward due to gravity, which is excellent in terms of high thermal stability, low viscosity, and relative low adsorption on x-ray. Flow-induced crystallization experiments are conducted with this apparatus on x-ray scattering station in Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), which allows us to collect rheological and structural data simultaneously and may lead to a better understanding on flow-induced crystallization of polymer.     

Rheological properties of lithium,lithium complex,and sodium greases

The rheological properties of two lithium, two lithium complex, and two sodium greases, all with the most common NLGI grade two, have been investigated. The greases are based on a mineral and a synthetic oil. The apparatus used was a cone-and-plate rheometer and an impacting-ball apparatus. The impacting-ball apparatus used a steel ball, which impacted a lubricated sintered carbide plate, to measure the shear stress-pressure coefficient, γ, of the lubricant. At pressures found in elastohydrodynamic contacts this coefficient determined the limiting shear stress. The γ-value thus affects the coefficient of friction and consequently, lower γ-value means less friction. The results from the impacting-ball apparatus showed that the γ-value was lower for the greases with a synthetic base oil and that the lithium greases gave a lower γ-value than the corresponding base oils. Results from the cone-and-plate rheometer showed the characteristic shear thinning behaviour of the greases and the influence of shear history and temperature. The results from the cone-and-plate rheometer have also been fitted to a four parameter rheological model.     

Elastohydrodynamic properties of water-based fire-resistant hydraulic fluids

The elastohydrodynamic (ehd) lubricating properties of commercial fire-resistant hydraulic fluids in rolling point contacts are described. Earlier work is reviewed and new work presented on water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions. It is shown that in general, elastohydrodynamic film thicknesses of water-in-oil emulsions are close to those of their base oils. For very fine particle size emulsions, however, thicker films are observed. Commercial oil-in-water emulsions in fully flooded conditions have not been found to give measurable elastohydrodynamic films. However, when the emulsions are destabilized, a localized pool of oil collects in the contact zone which enables ehd films to form, though these films do not survive very high rolling speeds. Polyglycol solutions give low ehd film thicknesses, approximately one third those of mineral oils of corresponding viscosity. This can be attributed to the low pressure—viscosity coefficient of these solutions.     

高浓度粘稠物料加压旋转流变仪的研制与标定

高浓度粘稠物料(如原生煤泥、造纸污泥等一类工业副产品或固体废弃物)流变特性的测定在其管道输送系统的设计中有重要意义。这种粘稠物料若无添加剂作用在常压下是一种分散结团物料,不具备流体特性,无法采用一般旋转流变仪对其流变特性进行测试。因此研制出一种新型加压旋转流变仪(最高压力20MPa),将物料封闭加压,维持管道输送时的工况,保持其流体形态,从而达到物料加压流变特性测试的目的。该仪器的标定与使用结果表明其达到了设计要求,数据采集方便,测量自动化程度较高。     

A high-pressure cell for kinetic studies on gas hydrates by powder x-ray diffraction

A new high-pressure-low-temperature cell was developed for in situ observations of gas hydrates by powder x-ray diffraction. The experimental setup allows investigating hydrate formation and dissociation as well as transformation processes between different hydrate crystal structures as a function of pressure, temperature, and feed gas composition. Due to a continuous gas flow, the composition of the gas phase is kept constant during the whole experiment. This is crucial for the formation of mixed hydrates formed from feed gas mixtures that contain one or more components in low concentrations. The pressure cell can be used in a pressure range between 0.1 and 4.0 MPa and a temperature range between 248 and 298 K. First results of time-resolved measurements of a mixed structure II CH(4) + iso-C(4)H(10) hydrate and a structure I CO(2) hydrate are presented.

Rheo-small-angle neutron scattering at the National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research

We describe the design and operation of a modified commercial rheometer to simultaneously perform rheological measurements and structural studies by small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The apparatus uses a Couette geometry shear cell allowing two of the three scattering planes to be observed by performing experiments in either the radial or tangential geometries. The device enables small angle neutron scattering patterns to be obtained simultaneously with a wide variety of rheological measurements such as stress/strain flow curves, oscillatory deformations, and creep, recovery and relaxation tests, from -20?°C to 150?°C, for samples with viscosities varying by several orders of magnitude. We give a brief report of recent experiments performed on a dispersion of acicular nanoparticles and biopolymer network under stress demonstrating the utility of such measurements. This device has been developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) and made available to the complex fluids community as part of the standard sample environment equipment.     

Creating a high temperature environment at high pressure in a gas piston cylinder apparatus

An internal heater capable of 1400 K has been developed for use with a gas piston cylinder apparatus capable of achieving in excess of 3 GPa with an argon pressure medium. The heated gas piston cylinder produces a truly hydrostatic environment for samples up to 3 mm in diameter and 8 mm in length. The apparatus can be used to study systems that are sensitive to stress or samples that cannot withstand shear tractions. The gas piston cylinder apparatus was developed in an effort to reduce experimental uncertainty in the pressure scale and has been used to improve understanding of the Bi I-II transition at 298 K. We estimate that the pressure during a high temperature soak in the gas piston cylinder can be known to within ±0.01 GPa.

In situ pressure measurements in dimpled elastohydrodynamic sliding contacts by Raman microspectroscopy

In situ pressure measurements within dimples formed in glass-steel point contacts under various sliding conditions were performed using Raman microspectroscopy. Experiments were conducted using a ball-on-disc type apparatus in which a circular contact is formed between a rotating glass disc and a rotating steel ball. Film thickness distributions were measured by duochromatic optical interferometry. Polyphenyl ether oil (5P4E) which has a high pressure-viscosity coefficient was used to produce a dimple in the contact area. Experimental results show that the pressure increases locally in the dimple zone and the pressure profile changes, accompanying the changes of the dimple location as a function of the slide-to-roll ratio. The maximum pressure is located downstream the maximum height of the dimple. The rheological response of the oil film under dimple occurrence conditions is discussed.     

Impact of Oil-in-Water Emulsion Composition and Preparation Method on Emulsion Physical Properties and Friction Behaviors

Emulsions have been used as a model food system for many studies on food behavior, including tribological studies. Several studies have examined the effect of fat content and emulsifier on emulsion friction behavior; however, other emulsion parameters such as ionic strength, pH, and homogenization pressure have received little attention in the literature. Additionally, emulsion friction measurements are generally compared to sensory data rather than physical property data. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of various emulsion parameters on emulsion physical properties and rheological and friction behavior. Emulsion salt content, pH, and homogenization pressure all affected friction behavior, with specific effects dependent on the emulsifying protein. All emulsions showed reduced friction coefficient with increased fat content. Emulsion rheological behavior was not strongly impacted by changes in the emulsion parameters. Changing emulsion pH had the strongest effect on emulsion physical properties. The results of this study suggest that tribology may be used to develop a “fingerprint” for emulsions prepared using different parameters, allowing improved differentiation of these emulsions compared to traditional rheometry.     

Novel in situ setup to study the formation of nanoparticles in the gas phase by small angle x-ray scattering

An in-house built aerosol generator setup for in situ gas phase studies of aerosol and nanoparticles is described. The aerosol generator with an ultrasonic ceramic disk mist maker provides high enough particle concentrations for structural gas phase analysis by synchrotron small angle x-ray scattering (for water approximately 4 x 10(8) droplets/s with a droplet size of approximately 2.5 microm). The working principle was proved by scattering of gold nanoparticles. For evaporation induced self-assembly studies of nanostructured particles, an additional thermal treatment chamber was included in the setup. The first on-line gas phase data with our setup for mesostructured silica particles are presented for different thermal treatments. Scanning electron microscope imaging revealed the average particle size to be approximately 1 microm. Furthermore, to quantify their internal nanostructure, diffraction experiments of deposited silica aerosols were carried out and the corresponding electron density map indicates a silica wall thickness of about 1 nm.

Development of a high pressure automated lag time apparatus for experimental studies and statistical analyses of nucleation and growth of gas hydrates

Nucleation in a supercooled or a supersaturated medium is a stochastic event, and hence statistical analyses are required for the understanding and prediction of such events. The development of reliable statistical methods for quantifying nucleation probability is highly desirable for applications where control of nucleation is required. The nucleation of gas hydrates in supercooled conditions is one such application. We describe the design and development of a high pressure automated lag time apparatus (HP-ALTA) for the statistical study of gas hydrate nucleation and growth at elevated gas pressures. The apparatus allows a small volume (≈150 μl) of water to be cooled at a controlled rate in a pressurized gas atmosphere, and the temperature of gas hydrate nucleation, T(f), to be detected. The instrument then raises the sample temperature under controlled conditions to facilitate dissociation of the gas hydrate before repeating the cooling-nucleation cycle again. This process of forming and dissociating gas hydrates can be automatically repeated for a statistically significant (>100) number of nucleation events. The HP-ALTA can be operated in two modes, one for the detection of hydrate in the bulk of the sample, under a stirring action, and the other for the detection of the formation of hydrate films across the water-gas interface of a quiescent sample. The technique can be applied to the study of several parameters, such as gas pressure, cooling rate and gas composition, on the gas hydrate nucleation probability distribution for supercooled water samples.

A rheo-optical apparatus for real time kinetic studies on shear-induced alignment of self-assembled soft matter with small sample volumes

In soft materials, self-assembled nanoscale structures can allow new functionalities but a general problem is to align such local structures aiming at monodomain overall order. In order to achieve shear alignment in a controlled manner, a novel type of rheo-optical apparatus has here been developed that allows small sample volumes and in situ monitoring of the alignment process during the shear. Both the amplitude and orientation angles of low level linear birefringence and dichroism are measured while the sample is subjected to large amplitude oscillatory shear flow. The apparatus is based on a commercial rheometer where we have constructed a flow cell that consists of two quartz teeth. The lower tooth can be set in oscillatory motion whereas the upper one is connected to the force transducers of the rheometer. A custom made cylindrical oven allows the operation of the flow cell at elevated temperatures up to 200 degrees C. Only a small sample volume is needed (from 9 to 25 mm(3)), which makes the apparatus suitable especially for studying new materials which are usually obtainable only in small quantities. Using this apparatus the flow alignment kinetics of a lamellar polystyrene-b-polyisoprene diblock copolymer is studied during shear under two different conditions which lead to parallel and perpendicular alignment of the lamellae. The open device geometry allows even combined optical/x-ray in situ characterization of the alignment process by combining small-angle x-ray scattering using concepts shown by Polushkin et al. [Macromolecules 36, 1421 (2003)].

Portable chamber for the study of UHV prepared electrochemical interfaces by hard x-ray diffraction

We report on a new electrochemical cell setup, combined with a portable UHV chamber, for in situ x-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. In contrast to more traditional electrochemical sample preparation schemes, atomically clean and well-ordered surfaces are routinely prepared by UHV methods, even in the case of reactive elements or alloys. Samples can be transferred from larger UHV systems into the portable chamber without exposure to ambient air. They can then be studied successively in UHV, in controlled gas atmospheres, and in contact with electrolyte solutions under applied electrochemical potential. The electrochemical setup employs a droplet geometry, which guarantees good electrochemical conditions during in situ x-ray measurements combined with voltammetry. We present first experimental results of Cu deposition on GaAs(001) and on freshly produced nanometric Pd(001) islands on Cu(0.83)Pd(0.17)(001), respectively.
