A generalized method for correcting instrument spreading in gel permeation chromatography

A general method of chromatogram correction for skewed instrument spreading in gel permeation chromatography is presented. The correction method is so general that there is no restriction on the shape of the spreading function. It admits nonsymmetric, non-Gaussian as well as nonconvolution type. Aspects of solution techniques are discussed and an illustrative example is given to elucidate the method.     

Studies on multilayer film coextrusion III. The rheology of blown film coextrusion

Multilayer blown film coextrusion was studied, both experimentally and theoretically. For the experimental study, an annular die with a feed-port system was designed and multilayer blown films were produced by rotating the inner mandrel with a one horsepower variable-speed drive at speeds from nearly 2 to 6 rpm, and by inflating the tubular molten film with air. The die has 16 feed slots and melt pressure transducers are mounted along the axial direction of the outer wall of the annular flow channel. The transducers were used to determine the pressure gradient in the annular flow channel, which then permitted determination of the reduction in pressure drop when different combinations of two polymer systems were coextruded. Polymers used for b own film coextrusion were: (1) low-density polyethylene with ethylene-vinyl acetate; (2) low-density polyethylene with high-density polyethylene; (3) low-density polyethylene with polypropylene; (4) high-density polyethylene with ethylene-vinyl acetate. For the theoretical study, stratified helical flow was analyzed using a power-law non-Newtonian model. A computational procedure was developed to predict the number of layers, layer thickness, and the volumetric flow rate as functions of certain processing variables (namely, the pressure drop in the die, and the angular speed of rotation of the inner mandrel of the die) and the rheological parameters of the individual polymers concerned. Comparison was made of the theoretical prediction of volumetric flow rate with experimental ones. Some representative results are presented of the theoretically predicted axial and angular velocity distributions, shear stress profiles, and shear rate profiles.

Strain-Induced Deformation in Magnesia–Alumina Layered Composites

Ceramic beams are induced in situ to form complex shapes at elevated temperature without the application of an external stress. This process has been demonstrated for thin alumina substrates coated with a layer of magnesia. The internal strain causing the substrates to deform at elevated temperature arises as a consequence of strain mismatch accompanying the penetration of the coating into the substrate. The magnitude of the deformation depends on the amount of coating applied, on the thickness of the substrate, on the density of the substrate, and on the temperature. During exposure of the beams to elevated temperature, the magnesia coating reacts with the alumina substrate to form the spinel phase; the resulting volume change accompanying the phase transformation is likely the predominant driving force for deformation.

Preparation of phenolic resin derived 3-D ordered macroporous carbon

Three-dimensionally ordered long-range macroporous carbon structures were prepared using commercially available phenolic resin by utilizing sacrificial colloidal silica crystalline arrays as templates that were subsequently removed by HF etching after pyrolysis in an argon atmosphere. SEM, TEM, and BET were employed to characterize the morphology and the surface area of the porous carbon structures. The pore size (150–1000 nm) and BET surface area, which reflect pore volume (298.6 m²/g (1.32 cm³/g) ∼ 93.7 m²/g (0.12 cm³/g)), of the macroporous carbon structures produced were approximately proportional to the size (150–1000 nm) of the sacrificial silica sphere templates used (annealing temp. 550°C). The achieved 550 nm porous carbon structures were examined to function as potential catalyst carriers and were successfully impregnated with Ag or Pt-Ru on their inner walls after borohydride reduction at room temperature. In addition, porous carbon patterns were fabricated using the ‘micromolding in capillary’ technique, which has potential applications in the microreaction technology.

Ozone-Based Advanced Oxidation Processes for the Decomposition of N-Methyl-2-Pyrolidone in Aqueous Medium

The present study investigates the decomposition of N-Methyl-2-Pyrolidone (NMP) using conventional ozonation (O₃), ozonation in the presence of UV light (UV/O₃), hydrogen peroxide (O₃/H₂O₂), and UV/H₂O₂ processes under various experimental conditions. The influence of solution pH, ozone gas flow dosage, and H₂O₂ dosage on the degradation of NMP was studied. All ozone-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) were efficient in alkaline medium, whereas the UV/H₂O₂ process was efficient in acidic medium. Increasing ozone gas flow dosage would accelerate the degradation of NMP up to certain level beyond which no positive effect was observed in ozonation as well as UV light enhanced ozonation processes. Hydrogen peroxide dosage strongly influenced the degradation of NMP and a hydrogen peroxide dosage of 0.75 g/L and 0.5 g/L was found to be the optimum dosage in UV/H₂O₂ and O₃/H₂O₂ processes, respectively. The UV/O₃ process was most efficient in TOC removal. Overall it can be concluded that ozonation and ozone-based AOPs are promising processes for an efficient removal of NMP in wastewater.     

The onset of Taylor-Görtler vortices in impulsively decelerating swirl flow

The onset of hydrodynamical instability induced by impulsive spin-down to rest in a cylinder containing a Newtonian fluid is analyzed by using propagation theory. It is well-known that the primary transient swirl flow is laminar, but with initial high velocities secondary motion sets in at a certain time. The dimensionless critical time Τ_c to mark the onset of instability is presented here as a function of the Reynolds number Re. Available experimental data indicate that for large Re deviation of the velocity profiles from their momentum diffusion occurs starting from a certain time Τ≈4Τ_c. This means that secondary motion is detected at this characteristic time. It seems evident that during Τ_c⪯Τ⪯4Τ_c, secondary motion is relatively very weak and the primary diffusive momentum transfer is dominant.     

The kinetics of B‐a and P‐a type copolybenzoxazine via the ring opening process

The structure of benzoxazines is similar to that of phenolic resin through thermal self‐curing of the heterocyclic ring opening reaction that neither requires catalyst nor releases any condensation byproduct. These polybenzoxazine resins have several outstanding properties such as high thermal stability and high glass transition temperature. To better understand the curing kinetics of this copolybenzoxazine thermosetting resin, dynamic and isothermal differential scanning calorimetry measurements were performed. Three models, the Kissinger method, the Flynn–Wall–Osawa method, and the Kamal method, were used to describe the curing process. Dynamic kinetic activation energies based on Kissinger and Flynn–Wall–Osawa methods are 72.11 and 84.06 KJ/mol, respectively. The Kamal method based on an autocatalytic model results in a total order of reaction between 2.66 and 3.03, depending on curing temperature. Its activation energy and Arrhenius preexponential are 50.3 KJ/mol and 7959, respectively. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 95: 730–737, 2005
