A novel approach to prepare large-scale and narrow-dispersed latex particles by emulsion polymerization based on particle coagulation mechanism

In order to understand the mechanism of narrow particle size distribution of the final latex during particle coagulation, a series of experiments were performed to investigate the effect of polymer nature on particle coagulation capability. In particular, thermodynamics and kinetics in aqueous phase were considered to illustrate the detail process of particle coagulation. The final particle size decreased with the increasing side chain length of alkyl methacrylate from 181.5 nm in MMA to 131.6 nm in EMA, 119.3 nm in PMA, and 115.1 nm in BMA, indicating that the particle coagulation capability was proportional to the hydrophilicity of polymer. With increasing polymer hydrophilicity, the affinity between surfactant molecules and particle surface decreased, thus enhancing the particle coagulation capability. Moreover, the critical length of oligomer radical also increased with increasing hydrophilicity and the efficiency of radical capture decreased, thus increasing the saturation of monomer concentration in the inner part of particle, promoting particle coagulation. Combining these results and the La Mer Diagram, a novel approach was developed to prepare large-scale, narrow-dispersed, and high solid content polymer latex based on particle coagulation mechanism. Three criteria, namely, rapid nucleation, fast coagulation, and a long growth period, should be met to produce latex with a narrow particle size distribution.     

Identification of Autophagy in the Pine Wood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and the Molecular Characterization and Functional Analysis of Two Novel Autophagy-Related Genes,BxATG1 and BxATG8

The pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, causes huge economic losses in pine forests, has a complex life cycle, and shows the remarkable ability to survive under unfavorable and changing environmental conditions. This ability may be related to autophagy, which is still poorly understood in B. xylophilus and no autophagy-related genes have been previously characterized. In this study, transmission electron microscopy was used to confirm that autophagy exists in B. xylophilus. The full-length cDNAs of BxATG1 and BxATG8 were first cloned from B. xylophilus, and BxATG1 and BxATG8 were characterized using bioinformatics methods. The expression pattern of the autophagy marker BxATG8 was investigated using in situ hybridization (ISH). BxATG8 was expressed in esophageal gland and hypodermal seam cells. We tested the effects of RNA interference (RNAi) on BxATG1 and BxATG8. The results revealed that BxATG1 and BxATG8 were likely associated with propagation of nematodes on fungal mats. This study confirmed the molecular characterization and functions of BxATG1 and BxATG8 in B. xylophilus and provided fundamental information between autophagy and B. xylophilus.     

铜微合金化对QT600球墨铸铁组织和性能的影响

对QT600球墨铸铁进行了表面感应加热和控制冷却,分析不同Cu含量对马氏体转变的影响,利用光学显微镜分析了其显微组织,并对不同Cu含量的QT600球墨铸铁试样进行了拉伸和冲击试验,研究强度以及冲击性能的变化规律。结果表明,微合金元素Cu含量会影响淬火组织、强度和冲击性能。在920~1000℃加热淬火后,Cu有助于马氏体转变,提高淬透性能。Cu含量控制在0.6%时,对马氏体转变的促进作用不显著,组织中保留大量残留奥氏体,马氏体组织的冲击性能较差。进一步提高Cu含量,发现Cu可以阻碍合金元素磷共晶偏析,细化马氏体组织,减少残留奥氏体。当Cu含量超过0.9%马氏体转变不均匀,容易产生淬火裂纹,冲击性能下降。合理控制Cu含量可以加快马氏体转变,得到力学性能优良的微观组织。

退火孪晶对hcp结构二元镁锂合金腐蚀行为的影响

采用浸泡实验、电化学实验、腐蚀形貌观察以及扫描开尔文探针测试等实验方法对挤压态和退火态二元Mg-xLi（x=1,3,5,质量分数,%）合金的耐腐蚀性能进行研究。结果表明：挤压态Mg-Li合金经350 ℃/4 h退火处理后,可在基体中形成退火孪晶。在 0.1 mol/L NaCl溶液中,退火态合金的耐腐蚀性能明显劣于挤压态合金。通过扫描电子显微镜和激光共聚焦三维形貌分析,发现挤压态合金在腐蚀初期具有丝状腐蚀特征,并且随着腐蚀时间的延长形成了腐蚀坑;退火态合金表面发生快速腐蚀损伤,同时形成较大且深的腐蚀坑形貌。另外,退火态Mg-3Li合金的腐蚀等势线分布表明该合金退火孪晶区域优先发生了腐蚀溶解现象。因此,退火孪晶与母体晶粒之间可形成微电偶腐蚀效应,且退火孪晶区域充当阳极,母体晶粒作为阴极,从而降低了退火态Mg-Li合金的耐腐蚀性能。     

Sc添加对铸造Al-3Cu-1Li合金在酸性NaCl溶液中腐蚀行为的影响

在2 mol/L NaCl酸性溶液中,研究少量Sc对铸态Al-3Cu-1Li合金腐蚀行为的影响。通过XRD对铸态Al-3Cu-1Li-xSc（质量分数）合金进行相分析,用FE-SEM/EDS和TEM观察了Al-3Cu-1Li合金和Al-3Cu-1Li-0.5Sc合金的显微组织;采用极化曲线、电化学阻抗谱（EIS）、电化学噪声（EN）和浸泡法对合金的腐蚀行为进行了研究,并探讨腐蚀机制。结果表明：含Sc的Al-3Cu-1Li合金晶内富Cu球形相减少,晶界析出W相。随Sc含量的增加,合金腐蚀反应的活化能降低,阴极析氢速率增加,自腐蚀电流密度增加,合金的耐蚀性降低。添加Sc后,合金在空气中形成的表面膜保护作用减弱至消失,使含Sc合金的阻抗谱低频感抗弧逐渐消失。在EN测量期间,不含Sc和含0.1%Sc的合金表面处于“膜破裂-再钝化”状态;含0.3%Sc和0.5%Sc的合金发生严重的局部腐蚀（晶间腐蚀）,且与W相有关。

Effect of CNTs on Activation Volume and Mobile Dislocation Exhaustion Rate of CNTs/Al under Compression Loading

In this study, stress relaxation compression tests were performed to investigate the strain rate sensitivity, activation volume and mobile dislocations in carbon nanotubes/aluminum (CNTs/Al) composites. The results reveal that, with the addition of CNTs, the strain rate sensitivity of CNTs/Al increased. Meanwhile, a smaller V^* of CNTs/Al compared with pure Al was attributed mainly to the CNT-Al interfaces and partly to the increased forest dislocations cutting activities in grain interior, which was related to the tendency of short ranges order formation during plastic deformation. The incorporation of CNTs also improved the dislocation storage capability and reduced the dislocation velocity, leading to a lower mobile dislocation exhaustion rate.
