Improved magnetic particle tracking technique in dense gas fluidized beds

Noninvasive monitoring of multiphase flow is rapidly gaining increased interest. More specifically noninvasive particle tracking techniques have received a lot of attention in recent years to study dense granular flow. However, these techniques are usually quite expensive and require strict safety measures. An improved magnetic particle tracking (MPT) technique for dense granular flow will be presented in this article. The improvements of the analysis technique for MPT will be demonstrated and rigorously tested with a three‐dimensional system and two‐dimensional sensor system. The strengths and limitations of the MPT technique will also be reported. Finally, the results of the MPT are compared with data obtained from a combined particle image velocimetry and digital image analysis technique. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 60: 3133–3142, 2014     

Thermal properties and crystallization behavior of bamboo fiber/high‐density polyethylene composites: Nano‐TiO2 effects

In this study, bamboo fiber/high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) composites were prepared, and the effects of nano‐TiO₂ on their thermal properties and crystallization behavior were investigated via thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that the addition of nano‐TiO₂ improved the thermal stability and had a dual function in the crystallization behavior of the composites. On one hand, it functioned as a nucleating agent. The addition of 2 wt % nano‐TiO₂ promoted the crystallization, which caused the increase of the crystallization rate and crystallinity degree, as well as the micronization of the crystalline grain. On the other hand, intermolecular hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds were formed between nano‐TiO₂ and the polymer matrix, which hindered the crystallization of the composites. When the content of nano‐TiO₂ was continually increased, the inhibitory effect of the crystallization was gradually enhanced, which resulted in a decrease in the crystallization rate and crystallinity degree of the composites. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Miniemulsion polymerization of fluorinated siloxane‐acrylate latex and the application as waterborne textile finishing agent

Fluorinated siloxane–acrylate polymer latex was synthesized via miniemulsion polymerization, which was carried out by pseudo one‐step method. In the synthesis protocol, the monomers of octamethylclotetrasiloxane (D₄), tetravinyltetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D₄^v), methyl methylacrylate, butyl acrylate, N‐methylol acrylamide, and dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFMA) were first mixed and homogenized into a miniemulsion, which was stabilized by dedecybenzene sulfonic acid. The ring‐opening polymerization of cyclosiloxane was then steadily performed under miniemulsion conditions and followed by the postaddition of radical initiators to initiate the polymerization of acrylate and DFMA monomers. The influences on the emulsion properties by acrylic monomer with different addition protocol were investigated in this work. In addition, the synthesized latexes were characterized by using dynamic laser scattering, transmission electron microscope, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. These results indicated that the introduction of D₄^v in the latex can successfully suppress the phase separation between the thermodynamically incompatible components for the formation of uniform hybrid latex particles. The further application of the as‐synthesized latex was investigated as a new kind of waterborne textile finishing agent. Moreover, the influences of the content of D₄^v and DFMA on the finishing properties, especially for the softness, the water repellence, and the antimoisture properties, were systematically studied in this work. With a proper design on the content of the D₄^v and DFMA, stable textile finishing emulsion was prepared, which can endow the fabric both desirable softness and excellent water resistances. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal and flammability performance of polypropylene composites containing melamine and melamine phosphate‐modified α‐type zirconium phosphates

In this article, melamine (MA) and melamine phosphate (MP) have been intercalated into α‐type zirconium phosphate (α‐ZrP) interlayer spaces. The structure and thermal properties of the corresponding powders, MA‐ZrP and MP‐ZrP, were ascertained by X‐ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement, and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). Furthermore, polypropylene (PP) and its intumescent flame retardant (IFR) composites containing the two organically modified α‐ZrP powders using maleic anhydride‐grafted PP (JPP) as compatibilizer were fabricated by melt blending. The results from TGA and cone calorimetry demonstrated that PP/JPP and PP/JPP/IFR composites containing MA‐ZrP and MP‐ZrP exhibited better thermal stability and burning behavior in comparison with their corresponding counterparts, PP/JPP and PP/JPP/IFR, respectively. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of Ba Content on the Stress Sensitivity of the Antiferroelectric to Ferroelectric Phase Transition in (Pb,La,Ba,)(Zr,Sn,Ti)O3 Ceramics

The effect of Ba content on the stress sensitivity of the antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase transition in (Pb_0.94?xLa_0.04Ba_x)[(Zr_0.60Sn_0.40)_0.84Ti_0.16]O₃ ceramics is investigated through monitoring electric field‐induced polarization and longitudinal strain under compressive prestresses. It is found that incorporation of Ba significantly suppresses the stress sensitivity of the phase transition, as manifested by slight decreases under prestresses up to 100 MPa in the maximum polarization (P_m) and longitudinal strain (x_m). The energy storage density is even increased under the mechanical confinement in compositions x = 0.02 and 0.04. X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and dielectric measurements indicate that the suppressed stress sensitivity is associated with the disruption of micrometersized antiferroelectric domains into nanodomains and the transition from antiferroelectric to relaxor behavior.
