Viscose cellulosic fibers from eucalyptus wood were treated with organosilanes to introduce specific functionalities on the fibers and enhance their wettability and adhesion with phenolic matrices in composites. Modeling procedures were employed to optimize the conditions of the treatments of the fibers with the silanes (3‐aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (APS) and 3‐(2‐aminoethylamino) propyltrimethoxysilane (AAPS). The analyzed responses were relative intensities of the bands 1565/897 and 1120/897 cm⁻¹, measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the silicon amount incorporated into the cellulosic fibers, which was determined by energy dispersive X‐ray analysis. In addition, surface morphology of the silane treated fibers was observed using scanning electron microscopy. The treatments of the cellulosic fibers with 2.2% APS for 120 min and 1.5% AAPS for 100 min were selected as optimums. According to contact angle measurements, both treatments enhanced the wettability between the fibers and a resol‐type phenolic resin, revealing the possible use of the silane treated fibers as reinforcement in phenolic composites. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Polymers such as Hyaluronic acid (HA), Polyethylene glycol‐400 (PEG‐400) and Xanthan Gum (XG) are promising in drug delivery applicationsbecause of their biomedical and pharmaceutical potential applications. In HA 2%‐PEG 400 systems, the effect of pH and PEG‐400 concentration were evaluated. The viscosity of HA‐PEG 400 formulations slightly increased with PEG‐400 concentration. Viscoelastic properties and shear thinning character was strongly dependent on pH. Structured systems were obtained at pH 3, with an increase of several orders of magnitude in zero‐shear viscosity values. When XG 1% structured system is added on HA (0, 0.5, and 2%) and PEG‐400 5%, a sharp increase of viscosity can be observed, obtaining a gel‐like behaviour for HA 0.5%‐XG 1%‐PEG 400 5% formulation. Finally, metronidazole release profiles in HA 2% formulations with different PEG‐400 concentrations at pH 4.5 were studied. At least 90% of metronidazole was releasedat 24 h. However, the addition of XG 1% to the HA (0.5 and 2%)‐PEG 400 5% systems delayed the drug release. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015 , 132, 41313.  相似文献

Noil hemp fiber‐reinforced polypropylene composites were fabricated using intermixer and injection molding machines. X‐ray microtomography and Weibull statistical methods were employed to characterize the aspect ratio distributions of noil hemp fibers in the polypropylene matrices. The influence of fiber content (0–40 wt%) and compatibilizer addition (5 wt%) on IFSS (interfacial shear strengths) was evaluated by means of the modified Bowyer and Bader model. The evaluated IFSSs decreased from 9.7 to 7.2 MPa as the fiber content increased from 10 to 40 wt%. Also, the outcomes indicated increases to IFSSs for the maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP)‐coupled composites than uncoupled ones. They were used to predict theoretical tensile strength of the composites. A good agreement has been found between the theoretical and the experimental tensile strengths of composites indicating that the developed model has excellent capability to predict the tensile strength of noil hemp fiber reinforced polypropylene composites. Ultimately, the influences of interfacial shear strength; fiber strength and fiber aspect ratio were investigated using the developed model to predict composite tensile strengths. POLYM.

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and a group‐contribution approach were used to develop an algorithm to predict activity coefficients for binary solutions. The Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm was used to train the ANN and to predict the parameters of the Margules equation. The ANN was trained using phase‐equilibrium database from DECHEMA. The selected systems include alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, and ethers. The trim mean based on 20% data elimination was selected as the best representation of the Margules‐equation parameters. The algorithm was validated with 121 VLE systems and results show that the ANN provides a relative improvement over the UNIFAC method.  相似文献

In this work, we have studied the relationship among the colorimetric properties of different types of paper, having different finishing and grammage. Their color reproduction capability has also been analyzed by using the same printing technology (inkjet printing). On the one hand, we have plotted CIELAB data under the illuminant D50 into constant lightness and hue‐angle planes to be compared with MacAdam limits and with Pointer's real‐world surface color. On the other hand, we have calculated the volume gamut of the color solid associated to each color paper gamut. Analyzing the results, we have checked that there is not any clear relationship among the colorimetric properties of paper (for instance, CIE whiteness index, etc.) and the color gamut volume associated. However, the colorimetric parameters associated to the printed sample showed a quite good linear correlation between the minimum lightness (or the maximum blackness value) of the printed color chart and the color gamut volume. In particular, the greatest color gamut volume corresponds to the glossy papers taking into account this correlation for inkjet printing. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX), one pharmaceutical compound, has been treated in aqueous solutions with catalysts (copper and cobalt type perovskites and cobalt–alumina) and promoters (activated carbons). Hydrogen peroxide and saturated carboxylic acids were identified as intermediates. The effects of adsorption and pH have been investigated. Removal of the starting SMX accomplished with ozone alone is a fast process but catalytic or promoted ozonation is needed to significantly reduce the resulting organic carbon. SMX is, thus, mainly removed through direct ozone reaction while hydroxyl radical oxidation is the mechanism of removal the remaining TOC. The kinetics of the process has also been investigated. Perovskite catalytic ozonation resulted to be a chemical control process and apparent rate constants for homogeneous and heterogeneous ozonation were determined. For activated carbon ozonation, external diffusion of ozone to solid particles controlled the process rate.  相似文献

The influence of the presence of CaCO₃ on the cure reaction of the epoxy network diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A with isophorone diamine has been studied. The total enthalpy of reaction, the glass transition temperature and the partial enthalpies at different isothermal temperatures have been determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in dynamic and isothermal mode. A kinetic model accounting the influence of the diffusion of the reactive groups at high conversions was used. All the kinetic parameters have been compared with those of the system without filler (CaCO₃). © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009  相似文献

Polymer chains consisting of water‐soluble polyacrylamides and N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), hydrophobically modified with low amounts of N,N‐dialkylacrylamides (N,N‐dioctylacrylamide) have been prepared via free radical micellar polymerization, using a hydrophobic initiator derived from 4,4′‐azobis(4‐cyanopentanoic acid) containing a long linear chain of 16 (C16) carbon atoms. This procedure resulted in polyacrylamides containing hydrophobic groups along the chain as well as at the chain ends. These polymers are named “combined associative polymers” and include within their structure a water‐soluble monomer (acrylamide), a thermosensitive monomer (NIPAM) and a hydrophobic monomer. The polymers were characterized by different techniques, also studying the effect of adding a surfactant anion such as sodium dodecylsulfate. The viscoelastic properties as a function of temperature of these associative polymers were investigated using steady‐flow and oscillatory experiments considering the relaxation time (T_R) and the plateau modulus (G₀). The effect of concentration of acrylamide and NIPAM on the viscosity of the associative polymer solutions was investigated. POLYM. ENG.
