Summary [2,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]acetylene [BTFPA; HCCC6H3-2, 5-(CF3)2]polymerized with W, Mo, and Nb catalysts to produce methanol-insoluble polymers in high yields. The poly(BTFPA) produced by the W(CO)6-based catalyst at 30 °C was soluble in p-(CF3)2C6H4, and had relatively high molecular weight ([]=0.352 dL/g in p-(CF3)2C6H4). The main chain of the polymer was composed of alternating double bonds, and the polymer was a dark brown solid. The temperature at which the weight loss of the polymer started was higher than 300 °C. The polymerization behavior and polymer properties for BTFPA are compared with those for phenylacetylene and [o-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]acetylene. 相似文献
The elution volume of polystyrene or of poly(ethylene glycol) of various molecular weights was measured in both tetrahydrofuran and benzene at 40 or 60°C by means of gel permeation chromatography utilizing columns packed with crosslinked polystyrene gel or porous glass. When the polystyrene gel was used as the column packing, a relationship between log [η]M and the peak elution volume for polystyrene agreed with that for poly(ethylene glycol). Using columns packed with glass, however, the elution volume of polystyrene was smaller than that of poly(ethylene glycol) at the same log [η]M. The results are considered to be attributable to the adsorption of poly(ethylene glycol) onto the glass. The effect of the adsorption on the elution volume was evaluated by assuming a universal calibration for columns containing porous glass; the deviation of the elution volume from the universal calibration curve increased with increase in molecular weight. At lower temperatures, even polystyrene was adsorbed onto the glass. Therefore, to reduce the adsorption of polymers on glass, it is necessary to increase the temperature or use surface treatment when porous glass is used as a GPC column packing. 相似文献
Recent research on tribology in Japan is outlined. There have been many papers on the following problems.
In fluid film lubrication, the effects of surface irregularities on the lubricating performance and increase in friction in high speed bearings due to turbulent flow are highlighted to date. Elastohydrodynamic lubrication and its related problems such as traction play an important role in the lubrication of cams and followers, rolling contact bearings and traction drives. The rheology of lubricants at high pressures is one of the most important properties governing lubricated concentrated contacts. Regarding basic studies on wear, the mechanism of the adhesive wear process is being studied. It is interesting to investigate the deformation behaviours of materials and structures by finite element methods. The friction and wear characteristics of plastics and their composites have been studied in basic terms.
The chemical reactions of lubricating oil additives with frictional surfaces play important roles in lubricated concentrated contacts. Recently there have been many studies on the correlation between the lubricating properties and the chemical reactivity of lubricant additives. It is very interesting that there are many papers on the mutual effects between lubricant additives. 相似文献
Subjective experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of humidity on human comfort and productivity under transient conditions from hot and humid environment to thermally neutral condition. Two climate chambers, “Chamber 1” and “Chamber 2”, adjoined each other were used for this study. Subjects were exposed to 30 °C/70%RH air in Chamber 1 for 15 min with 2.0 met of metabolic rate. Then they moved into Chamber 2, where 4 humidity conditions, 30, 40, 50 and 70%RH were examined. Air temperature was adjusted to keep SET* constant at 25.2 °C for all conditions. Subjects were exposed in Chamber 2 for 180 min performing 2 kinds of simulated office work.
Positive effects of low humidity on subjective pleasantness were found under transient condition at low humidity due to more evaporation from human body, while no significant difference in thermal sensation and humidity sensation among 4 relative humidity levels was obtained. Subjective performance was found to be at the same level under all conditions. However, subjects reported to be more tired at 70%RH after humidity step change. 相似文献
Sediment samples collected at three different coastal points (Shinguu, Ooigawa and Tagonoura) were extracted with diethylether and then methanol. Each extract was separated into five fractions by high-speed liquid chromatography and they were submitted to mutagenic assay using B. subtilis and S. typhimurium and to GC-MS analysis.The ether fraction of sediment sample from Shinguu showed DNA damaging potency on B. subtilis and exhibited mutagenic effect on S. typhimurium TA 98, TA 100 and TA 1537. 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol, 3,4,5,6-tetrachloroguaiacol, dehydroabietic acid, pyrene and fluoranthene were mutagenic substances among 28 substances identified and tested. 相似文献
The water solubilities (S), octanol/water partition coefficients (Kow) and bioconcentration factors (BCF) of four polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fluids covering a wide range of molecular weight were measured. It is shown that a previously described correlation between S and Kow for organic chemicals may be invalid for PDMS fluids; an alternative correlation is proposed. Some PDMS fluids tend to have a bioconcentration potential in silver carp. 相似文献
A rectangular specimen of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was soaked in a titania solution composed of titanium isopropoxide,
water, ethanol and nitric acid at 25 °C for 1 h. An amorphous titanium oxide was formed uniformly on the surface of PET specimen,
but did not form an apatite on its surface in a simulated body fluid (SBF) within 3 d. The PET plate formed with the amorphous
titanium oxide was subsequently soaked in water or HCl solutions with different concentrations at 80 °C for different periods
of time. The titanium oxide on PET was transformed into nano-sized anatase by the water treatment and into nano-sized brookite
by 0.10 M HCl treatment at 80 °C for 8 d. The former did not form the apatite on its surface in SBF within 3 d, whereas the
latter formed the apatite uniformly on its surface. Adhesive strength of the titanium oxide and apatite layers to PET plate
was increased by pre-treatment of PET with 2 wt% NaOH solution at 40 °C for 2 h. A two-dimensional fabric of PET fibers 24 μm
in diameter was subjected to the NaOH pre-treatment at 40 °C, titania solution treatment at 25 °C and subsequent 0.10 M HCl
treatment at 80 °C. Thus treated PET fabric formed the apatite uniformly on surfaces of individual fibers constituting the
fabric in SBF within 3 d. Two or three dimensional PET fabrics modified with the nano-sized brookite on surfaces of the individual
fibers constituting the fabric by the present method are believed to be useful as flexible bone substitutes, since they could
be integrated with living bone through the apatite formed on their constituent fibers. 相似文献
Molecular transport through nanoscale pores in films, membranes and wall structures is of fundamental importance in a number of physical, chemical and biological processes. However, there is a lack of experimental methods that can obtain information on the structure and orientation of the molecules as they pass through the pore, and their interactions with the pore during passage. Imaging with a transmission electron microscope is a powerful method for studying structural changes in single molecules as they move and for imaging molecules confined inside carbon nanotubes. Here, we report that such imaging can be used to observe the structure and orientation of a hydrocarbon chain as it passes through nanoscale defects in the walls of a single-walled carbon nanotube to the vacuum outside, and also to study the interactions between the chain and the nanopore. Based on experiments at 293 K and 4 K we conclude that the major energy source for the molecular motions observed at 4 K is the electron beam used for the imaging. 相似文献
The time domain evaluation of the frequency-dependent dynamic stiffness was studied and some transform methods are being proposed. In this paper, the nonlinear response analysis method of the dynamic stiffness with both frequency and strain dependency was studied. First, the frequency-dependent complex stiffness was calculated at each strain level, and then they were transformed to the impulse response in the time domain. The characteristics of the complex stiffness and the impulse response of both two-layered soil and viscoelastic dampers were investigated. Then, the nonlinear time-history response analysis method considering both dependencies using the impulse response of each strain level was proposed. The earthquake response analysis of a structure on the two-layered soil was carried out as an example. The efficiency of the method was confirmed through these investigations. 相似文献
