Thermal and crystallization characteristics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) with poly(oxybenzoate‐p‐trimethylene terephthalate) copolymer

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was blended with two different poly(oxybenzoate‐p‐trimethylene terephthalate) copolymers, designated T28 and T64, with the level of copolymer varying from 1 to 15 wt %. All samples were prepared by solution blending in a 60/40 (by weight) phenol/tetrachloroethane solvent at 50°C. The crystallization behavior of the samples was studied by DSC. The results indicate that both T28 and T64 accelerated the crystallization rate of PET in a manner similar to that of a nucleating agent. The acceleration of PET crystallization rate was most pronounced in the PET/T64 blends with a maximum level at 5 wt % of T64. The melting temperatures for the blends are comparable to that of pure PET. The observed changes in crystallization behavior are explained by the effect of the physical state of the copolyester during PET crystallization as well as the amount of copolymer in the blends. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Experiments of a prototype wind-driven reverse osmosis desalination system with feedback control

A prototype wind-powered reverse osmosis desalination system was constructed and tested on Coconut Island off the northern coast of Oahu, Hawaii, for brackish water desalination. The system has four major subsystems: a multi-vaned windmill/pump, a flow/pressure stabilizer, a reverse osmosis module, and a control mechanism. The feedback control mechanism, developed by this study, allowed this prototype system to be operated satisfactorily under mild ambient wind of 5 m/s or less. No auxiliary power source was needed. The system operational data showed that at an average wind speed of 5 m/s, brackish feedwater at a total dissolved solids concentration of 3000 mg/1 and at a flow rate of 13 1/min could be processed by this system. The average rejection rate of this prototype system was 97% and the average recovery ratio was 20%. The energy efficiency of the system was measured at 3 5%, which is comparable to the typical energy efficiency of well-operated multi-vaned windmills. Generally, the system's energy efficiency decreases as wind speed increases.

外商直接投资类型转变的实证分析

论文在文献评述的基础上利用1992—2008年日本、美国等10个主要经济体对华直接投资数据,实证检验了外商直接投资(FDI)类型与中国市场规模、要素成本、投资环境之间的关系。结果表明:FDI在中国既具有垂直型FDI的特征,同时又具有水平型FDI的特征,但水平型特征更为突出。随着中国经济的迅速发展和市场规模的扩大,进入中国的FDI正由垂直型向水平型转变。在实证分析的基础上,针对当前的FDI类型转变提出了相关政策建议。

Crystallization behavior,mechanical properties,and environmental biodegradability of poly(β‐hydroxybutyrate)/cellulose acetate butyrate blends

The miscibility, crystallization behavior, tensile properties, and environmental biodegradability of poly(β‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)/cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) blends were studied with differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, and polarizing optical microscopy. The results indicated that PHB and CAB were miscible in the melt state. With an increase in the CAB content, the degree of crystallinity and melting temperature of the PHB phase decreased, and this broadened the narrow processability window of PHB. As the elongation at break increased from 2.2 to 7.3%, the toughness and ductility of PHB improved. From the degradation test, it could be concluded that degradation occurred gradually from the surface to the inside and that the degradation rate could be adjusted by the addition of the CAB content. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reaction mechanism and microstructure evolution of reaction sintered <Emphasis Type="Italic">h</Emphasis>-BN

Hexagonal boron nitride ceramic (h-BN) based on the nitridation of B powders was obtained by reaction sintering method. The effects of sintering temperature on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the resultant products were investigated and the reaction mechanism was discussed. Results showed that the reaction between B and N₂ occurred vigorously at temperatures ranging from 1 000 °C to 1 300 °C, which resulted in the generation of t-BN. When the temperature exceeded 1 450 °C, transformation from t-BN to h-BN began to occur. As the sintering temperature increased, the spherical particles of t-BN gradually transformed into fine sheet particles of h-BN. These particles subsequently displayed a compact arrangement to achieve a more uniform microstructure, thereby increasing the strength.     

Simple Preparation of Crystal Co3（BTC）2·12H2O and Its Catalytic Activity in CO Oxidation Reaction

Crystalline metal-organic framework cobalt(Ⅱ) benzenetricarboxylate Co3(BTC)2?12H2O(MOF-Co) has been prepared using solvothermal method. The reaction of cobalt(Ⅱ) nitrate and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic(BTC) acid in a mixed solution of N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF)/C2H5OH/H2O(1:1:1, ν/ν) at low temperature for short reaction times produced this crystalline compound. Compared with traditional hydrothermal method, a mixed solution method for the synthesis of crystalline metal complex was found to be highly efficient. After water molecules were removed from this metal complex, its exposed nodes served as active sites. When this MOF-Co was employed in the oxidation of CO, it showed good catalytic properties causing 100% conversion of CO to CO2 at low temperature of 160 ℃.
