Synthesis of Dimethyl Carbonate from Methanol and Carbon dioxide using Potassium Methoxide as Catalyst under Mild Conditions

Pd-supported on WO₃–ZrO₂ (W/Zr atomic ratio=0.2) calcined at 1073 K was found to be highly active and selective for gas-phase oxidation of ethylene to acetic acid in the presence of water at 423 K and 0.6 MPa. Contact time dependence demonstrated that acetic acid is formed via acetaldehyde formed by a Wacker-type reaction, not through ethanol by hydration of ethylene.     

The kinetics of desorption in the presence of a gas phase of the desorbing molecule: CO/Re(001)

TPD/Exchange from CO/Re(001) in a gas ambience showed that the absolute rate of desorption depends on the gas pressure and has a first plus second order rate law. It is proposed that desorption is a two step process from the adsorbed state to a stable intermediate which is itself weakly adsorbed.

A new LCL-lens array with electrodes of interlaced structure to be applied for auto-stereoscopic 3D displays

A new design of the liquid crystal lenticular (LCL) lens array with interlaced electrodes is proposed to realize an auto-stereoscopic 3D display. The structure of interlaced electrodes aims to generate a desired non-uniform electric filed to improve the focusing ability of the LCL-lens array with lower voltage drives. This paper is organized as first to describe the design criteria of a lenticular lens sheet for wide extended graphics array LCD panel. Based on the designed lenticular lens array, an LCL-lens array with proposed interlaced electrodes is next designed. The fabrication and the detailed structure are given. A series of experiments are then conducted and successfully verify the focusing capability and desired 3D display functions, that is, to separate two images to right and left eyes. Also, the developed auto-stereoscopic 3D display is able to adapt to varied viewer locations with favorable imaging quality.     

Design and realization of a high resolution (640 × 480) SWIR image acquisition system

A new image acquisition system module for extracting signals of high-resolution short wave infrared (SWIR) from a focal plane array (FPA) is presented in this study. The short wave infrared (SWIR—with wavelength about 900–1,700 nm) images have been proven its unique values in many applications such as military, semiconductor inspection and aviation security. The designs for the SWIR data acquisition system module consists of digitization and acquisition of FPA signals, design of synchronous dynamic random access memory controller and real-time image signal transformation and display. Three major steps involved towards a successful SWIR module—(1) Selection of hardware ICs according to specification for the FPA; (2) Design of a timing generator for the image acquisition system to control FPA and other ICs by Verilog HDL programming; (3) Integrate the individual modules on a PCB. The SWIR image output signals are successfully generated in the format of National Television System Committee (NSTC), which can be displayed on a common NTSC monitor, flat panel displays with an AV input terminal or a CRT display in a favorable speed of frame rate at 30 per second.

A new core–shell type fluorinated acrylic and siliconated polyurethane hybrid emulsion

A novel core–shell type fluorinated acrylic and siliconated polyurethane (FSiPUA) hybrid emulsion was prepared by seeded emulsion polymerization using siliconated polyurethane (SiPU) as a seed and forming the structure with SiPU as a shell and the copolymer of butyl acrylate (BA) with 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate (TFEMA) as a core. SiPU was synthesized using isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMG), polypropylene glycol (PPG), dihydroxybutyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA), 1,6-hexanediol (HDO) and triethylamine (TEA). The contents of siloxane and fluorine were determined according to the feed ratio. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to identify the chain structure of SiPU and FSiPUA. Investigation of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed the core–shell structure of FSiPUA emulsion and gave the particle size at about 50 nm. The measurement results of water contact angles and the solvent absorptions in water and n-octane for cured films showed that the water and the oil repellency for FSiPUA had been improved significantly with a suitable content of fluorine and siloxane.     

Effect of rare earth elements surface treatment on tensile properties of aramid fiber‐reinforced epoxy composites

Solutions of rare earth modifier (RES) and epoxy chloropropane (ECP) grafting modification method were used for the surface treatment of aramid fiber. Tensile properties of both the aramid/epoxy composites and single fibers were tested. The effects of RES concentration on tensile properties of aramid/epoxy composites were investigated in detail to explore an optimum amount of rare earth elements in solution for modifying aramid fiber. The fracture surface morphologies of tensile specimens were observed and analyzed with the aid of SEM. The experimental results show that rare earth treatment is superior to ECP grafting treatment in promoting interfacial adhesion between the aramid fiber and epoxy matrix. Meanwhile, the tensile strengths of single fibers were almost not affected by RES treatment. The optimum performance is obtained when the content of rare earth elements is 0.5 wt %. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 92: 1037–1041, 2004     

Parametrized Maximum Principle Preserving Flux Limiters for High Order Schemes Solving Multi-Dimensional Scalar Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

In this paper, we will extend the strict maximum principle preserving flux limiting technique developed for one dimensional scalar hyperbolic conservation laws to the two-dimensional scalar problems. The parametrized flux limiters and their determination from decoupling maximum principle preserving constraint is presented in a compact way for two-dimensional problems. With the compact fashion that the decoupling is carried out, the technique can be easily applied to high order finite difference and finite volume schemes for multi-dimensional scalar hyperbolic problems. For the two-dimensional problem, the successively defined flux limiters are developed for the multi-stage total-variation-diminishing Runge–Kutta time-discretization to improve the efficiency of computation. The high order schemes with successive flux limiters provide high order approximation and maintain strict maximum principle with mild Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy constraint. Two dimensional numerical evidence is given to demonstrate the capability of the proposed approach.
