The effect of radical desorption on the particle size distribution in vinyl acetate emulsion polymerization

The effect of free radical desorption is studied by using a mathematical model of particle size distribution in continuous emulsion polymerization. By comparing the theoretical prediction with experimental data, the value of D_o for the vinyl acetate (VAc) system is best chosen as 0.19 × 10^?7 cm²/h. The effect of radical desorption as well as mean residence time on the absolute particle size distribution, total concentration of polymer particles, conversion, and average number of radicals per polymer particle are analyzed by the model proposed.     

Effect of particle size on the surface oxidation and flotation behavior of galena particles in lime system

ABSTRACT

In this research, the effect of particle size on the surface oxidation and flotation behavior of galena in the lime system was studied. Coarse (?0.074 + 0.038 mm), intermediate (?0.038 + 0.025 mm) and fine (?0.025 mm) galena particles were used in the experiment. The dissolution tests, flotation tests, and sorption tests were accomplished. Through further analysis by XPS, the effect of particle size and lime was observed. The decrease of mineral particle sizes increased the adsorption ratio of collector and the dissolution of galena, while the hydrophilic product OH^?/Ca(OH)⁺ produced by dissolution occupied the dominant position, which led to the minerals hydrophilic.     

Formation Mechanisms of Platelet Sr3Ti2O7 Crystals Synthesized by the Molten Salt Synthesis Method

The molten salt synthesis (MSS) method is utilized to synthesize the anisotropic platelet Sr₃Ti₂O₇ (S3T2) single-crystal particles. The aim of this study is to identify the essence of platelet Sr₃Ti₂O₇ crystal growth and guide the synthesis of anisotropic platelet SrTiO₃ crystals as well as various technologically important materials. Based on the results of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, the formation mechanism of platelet Sr₃Ti₂O₇ crystals conforms to a nucleation–structure rearrangement–dissolution–diffusion in situ epitaxial growth mechanism model. First, SrCO₃ reacts with TiO₂ to form submicrometer SrTiO₃ nuclei. Then, most of the nuclei surrounded by salt ions aggregate and rearrange to form a large SrTiO₃ matrix. The structural rearrangement and the subsequent in situ epitaxial growth processes control the morphology, composition, and size of the final Sr₃Ti₂O₇ crystals. In the synthesis process, the conversion between SrTiO₃ and Sr₃Ti₂O₇ is as follows: and the crystallographic orientation relationship between Sr₃Ti₂O₇ and SrTiO₃ in the interface is (100)_S3T2//{100}_ST, (010)_S3T2//{010}_ST, and (001)_S3T2//{001}_ST.

Polyaniline for corrosion prevention of mild steel coupled with copper

Polyaniline emeraldine base/epoxy resin (EB/ER) coating was investigated for corrosion protection of mild steel coupled with copper in 3.5% NaCl solution. EB/ER coating with 5-10 wt% EB had long-term corrosion resistance on both uncoupled steel and copper due to the passivation effect of EB on the metal surfaces. During the 150 immersion days, the impedance at 0.1 Hz for the coating increased in the first 1-40 days and subsequently remained constant above 10⁹ Ω cm², whereas that for pure ER coating fell below 10⁶ Ω cm² after only 30 or 40 days. Immersion tests on coated steel-copper galvanic couple showed that EB/ER coating offered 100 times more protection than ER coating against steel dissolution and coating delamination on copper, which was mainly attributed to the passive metal oxide films formed by EB blocking both the anodic and cathodic reactions. Salt spray tests showed that 100 μm EB/ER coating protected steel-copper couple for at least 2000 h.     

Vapor-liquid equilibria in the argon-methane system

Vapor-liquid equilibrium compositions have been measured for the argon-methane system at 115.2°, 123.4° and 137.1°K, by means of a forced-recirculation apparatus. A modified Redlich-Kwong equation of state with the incorporation of a binary interaction constant has been successfully employed to represent the data. Liquid activity coefficients have been evaluated and correlated.     

Decentralized weighted control for a class of large‐scale systems with multi‐modes

In this paper, the control synthesis problem for a class of large‐scale systems with multi‐modes that are called large‐scale switched systems is addressed. By introducing the concept of decentralized switching signal and the relevant decentralized average dwell time, the asymptotic stability and weighted ?₂ gain performance are investigated. It should be noted that the decentralized switching covers general switching cases for large‐scale switched systems, namely, it admits both time‐dependent switching signal and arbitrary switching signal blended in the decentralized switching. Then, on the basis of the analysis results, the decentralized weighted control scheme including state feedback controller gains and switching signals is studied. Several design algorithms are proposed to meet different controller design problems. Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate theoretical findings within this paper.

西方戏剧魅力的回归——浅析西方戏剧特征在电影《电话亭》中的体现

电影《电话亭》（Phone Booth）充分体现了西方戏剧的一些重要的特征。《电话亭》舍弃了电影擅长的时空及人物的多样性,选择恪守传统戏剧的“三一律”,只利用非常有限的场景、时间和人物,制造出一波三折的戏剧性冲突,体现了西方戏剧是激变型的艺术这一特征。此外影片还体现了基督教的“性恶论”与西方悲剧的关联,具有警世的意味。
