在热致液晶共聚酯（ＬＣＰ）与聚丙烯（ＰＰ）的共混体系中引入相容剂（接枝共聚物ＭＡＨ—ｇ－ＰＰ），借助热台偏光显微镜、扫描电镜、差示扫描量热仪、流变仪等方法研究了相容剂对ＰＰ／ＬＣＰ原位复合材料的微观结构和界面性能、结晶行为、流变行为以及力学性能的影响．结果表明：添加相容剂后，基体中的ＬＣＰ微纤分散更均匀，ＬＣＰ微纤长径比Ｌ／Ｄ增大．ＰＰ和ＬＣＰ两相之间有较好的粘连，促进了共混体的结晶，改善了ＰＰ／ＬＣＰ原位复合材料的力学性能．

LMPM／PP复合材料中PP的晶型结构

用宽角Ｘ射线衍射（ＷＡＸＤ）研究低熔点金属（ＬＭＰＭ）／ＰＰ复合材料中的ＰＰ的晶型结构,结晶度β晶型含量以及α－晶型的微观尺寸,发现ＬＭＰＭ用量增加,ＬＭＰＭ粒径减小,加和偶联剂以及提高混炼转速有利于ＰＰ形成β－晶型,并使α－晶型的微观尺寸变小,但结晶度变化不大,这种规律归结于ＬＭＰＭ的异相成核作用以及复合材料在冷却时内部大的温度新梯度。

PP／EPDM硫化与非硫化共混物微观形态及流变行为的研究

本文采用二段共混方法，先制得ＰＰ／ＥＰＤＭ硫化与非硫化增韧母料，该两种母料对ＰＰ的改性，其共混物的微观形态及宏观力学性能显示极大的差异。所采用的硫化剂可以使ＰＰ／ＥＰＤＭ共混物中的ＥＰＤＭ发生动态硫化作用，且使ＰＰ接枝于ＥＰＤＭ交联网络上。非硫化体系中ＥＰＤＭ呈根须状分布于ＰＰ球晶之间和内部；而硫化体系中，ＥＰＤＭ主要分布于球晶间，与ＰＰ相呈“海－岛”结构，并与ＰＰ球晶有很好的界面过渡。在ＥＰＤＭ含量相同的情况下，硫化体系比非硫化体系具有更高的耐冲击强度，且ＥＰＤＭ含量愈多时，这种效果愈加明显。流变行为分析表明，ＰＰ／ＥＰＤＭ共混物属于假塑性流体（ｎ＜１），在一定剪切速率下，ＥＰＤＭ含量的增加及ＥＰＤＭ的硫化，都使共混物的表观粘度ηａ增加，挤出膨胀比Ｂ减小，非牛顿指数ｎ减小，非牛顿流体性质更明显。

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.
