Preparation and characterization of modified starch‐based plastic film reinforced with short pulp fiber. II. Mechanical properties

Native corn starch‐ and hydroxypropylated starch (HPS‐) based plastic films were prepared using the short pulp fiber as the reinforcement and the glycerol as the plasticizer. The results of tensile test showed that the strain and stress at break and elastic modulus increased with pulp content. With glycerol content, the strain at break increased considerably, but the breaking stress and elastic modulus decreased. And the stress–strain curves showed that the brittleness problem of films was overcome by the pulp, glycerol, and water content. The hydroxypropyl starch films showed results similar to those of the native starch films. The results of the three‐point bending test showed that maximum deflection, flexural strength, and specific work increased with pulp content, but the flexural modulus was the highest at a pulp content of 20%. And with the glycerol content, the maximum deflection and specific work of rupture increased, but the bending elastic modulus decreased. The hydroxypropyl starch films showed results similar to those of native starch films as far as the maximum deflection and flexural strength were concerned, but the bending elastic modulus and specific work of the hydroxypropyl starch films were considerably lower than those of starch films. So it was concluded that the flexibility of films was improved by the hydroxypropylation. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 88: 2108–2117, 2003

Controllable Fabrication of Co3−xMnxO4 with Tunable External Co3+/Co2+ Ratio for Promoted Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Co_3?xMn_xO₄ is a bimetal oxide with excellent electrochemical activity in alkaline solution, has been regarded as a promising alternative in the field of ion-air batteries and proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Herein, we report a simple solvothermal-calcination method to fabricate Co_3?xMn_xO₄ with tunable external Co³⁺/Co²⁺ and Mn³⁺/Mn²⁺ ratio. The tunable ratio of element valence in the bimetal results in a higher exposure of active center for oxygen redox reaction (ORR), and thus lead to a better ORR activity, which was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterizations and electrochemical measurements. Specially, Co_1.8Mn_1.2O₄ with a Co³⁺/Co²⁺ ratio of 2.08 showed an overpotential of 0.37 V at benchmark ORR current density of 3 mA/cm² in 0.1 M KOH, which is lower than that of pure oxide (Mn₃O₄ 0.53 V and Co3O4 0.56 V). In addition, the as prepared Co_1.8Mn_1.2O₄ exhibited a positive half-wave potential (0.83 V vs RHE) due to their more active sites, promotes charge transfer, adsorption and desorption of oxygen species. This work provides a strategy for the design and fabrication of earth-abundant, low-cost electrocatalysts for PEMFC in practical applications.

Graphic Abstract

Co_3?xMn_xO₄ was fabricated by tuning external Co³⁺/Co²⁺ and Mn³⁺/Mn²⁺ ratio, and the activity initially shows a positive correlation with the ration of Co³⁺/Co²⁺ in Co_3?xMn_xO₄.

Epitaxy growth and directed crystallization of high-density polyethylene in the oriented blends with isotactic polypropylene

Various lamellar orientations of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), due to competition between bulk nucleation and interfacial nucleation, have been realized in its melt drawn blends with isotactic polypropylene (iPP) upon cooling after subjected to 160 °C for 30 min. Directed crystallization, with heterogeneous nucleation in the bulk (within domains), is defined as lamellar growth along boundary of anisotropic domains and is favored in larger domains at higher temperature (slow cooling), since overgrowth of lamellae can feel the interface rather than impingement with neighbor ones as a result of scare nuclei at higher temperature. Moreover, lamellar growth caused by directed crystallization is dependent of dimension of confinement. Due to 2D confinement of cylindrical domains, lamellae can only grow along the axis of cylinder and thus b-axis orientation is formed. While in the layered domains with 1D confinement, however, lamellae grow with the normal of (110) plane along the melt drawn direction. On the other hand, epitaxial growth of HDPE chains onto iPP lamellae is related to the surface-induced crystallization and dominated by the interfacial nucleation. Only interfacial nucleation is preferred can epitaxial growth occur. Therefore, retarded crystallization, realized by either strong confinement in finer domains or rapid cooling or both, is favorable for it.     

C_9 FK的表面活性测定

用吊片法和自制改进的最大泡压法分别测定了全氟庚氧基全氟亚乙基磺酸钾(C9FK)溶液的平衡和动态表面张力,计算得出该种表面活性剂形成胶束的标准热力学函数△Hmθ、△Smθ、△Gmθ分别为16．98 kJ／mol、218．29 J／mol·K、-48．22 kJ／mol。结合Word-Tordai方程,计算得到在不同条件下的表观扩散系数Da和吸附势垒Ea。实验证明,增大表面活性剂的浓度、降低温度、以及无机盐(NaCl)的加入都会使扩散系数减小,吸附势垒增大,从而不利于吸附的进行。当表面活性剂的浓度小于等于1×10-6 mol/L时,该体系属于扩散控制模型,而浓度大于 1×10-6 mol/L时,在吸附初期(t→O)属于扩散控制,后期均属于混合控制模型。     

Influence of polymerization conditions on the structure and properties of polyethylene/polypropylene in‐reactor alloy synthesized in the gas phase with a spherical Ziegler–Natta catalyst

A spherical TiCl₄/MgCl₂‐based catalyst was used in the synthesis of in‐reactor polyethylene/polypropylene alloys by polyethylene homopolymerization and subsequent homopolymerization of propylene in the gas phase. Different conditions in the ethylene homopolymerization stage, such as monomer pressure and polymerization temperature, were investigated, and their influences on the structure and properties of in‐reactor alloys were studied. Raising the polymerization temperature is the most effective way of speeding up polymerization and regulating the ethylene content of polyethylene (PE)/polypropylene (PP) alloys, but it will cause a greater increase in the PE‐b‐PP block copolymer fraction (named fraction D) than in the fraction of PP‐block‐PE in which the PP segments have low or medium isotacticity (named fraction A). Although changing ethylene monomer pressure could influence the ethylene content of PE/PP alloys slightly, it is an effective way of regulating the structural distribution. Reducing the monomer pressure will evidently increase fractions A and D. The mechanical properties of the alloys, including impact strength and flexural modulus, can be regulated in a broad range with changes in polymerization conditions. These properties are highly dependent on the amount, distribution, and chain structure of fractions A and D. The impact strength is affected by both fraction A and fraction D in a complicated way, whereas the flexural modulus is mainly determined by the amount of fraction A. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Graft copolymerization of styrene onto casein initiated by potassium diperiodatonickelate (IV) in alkaline medium

A novel redox system, potassium diperiodatonickelate (Ni(IV))‐casein is used to initiate graft copolymerization of Styrene onto casein under different conditions in aqueous alkaline solution. Graft copolymers with both high grafting efficiency (>98%) and percentage of grafting(>300%) are obtained, which indicated that (Ni(IV))‐casein redox pair is an efficient initiator for this grafting. The effects of reaction parameters, such as monomer‐to‐casein weight ratio, initiator concentration, pH, time, and temperature, are investigated. A tentative initiation mechanism is proposed. The structures and properties of the graft copolymer are characterized by Fourier transform infrared Spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction diagrams, and Scanning Electron Microscope. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
