Flame Retardancy and Mechanical Properties of Bio‐Based Furan Epoxy Resins with High Crosslink Density

This work outlines an interesting approach to bioepoxy resins from sustainable 2,5‐bis((oxiran‐2‐ylmethoxy)methyl)furan (BOF). The 3,3′‐diamino diphenyl‐sulfone (33DDS) and 4,4′‐diamino diphenyl‐sulfone (44DDS) are employed as hardeners. For comparison, petro‐based networks from diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) are developed as well. The systematic analyses suggest that the BOF/DDS networks show higher crosslink densities and mechanical properties than DGEBA/DDS thermosets. Remarkably, an attractive multilayer tubular microstructure is fabricated in the BOF/44DDS thermosets, and it greatly enhances the mechanical performance. Apart from that, BOF/DDS composites exhibit excellent flame retardancy. Especially, for BOF/44DDS, the self‐extinguishment happens in 7 s. The fire retardant mechanism confirms that a low heat release rate and heat release capacity as well as a compact char layer occur in the pyrolysis of BOF/DDS. Thus, the BOF/DDS exhibits superior performance over its DGEBA counterparts and meets a wide variety of requirements in engineering.

Catalytic oxidative desulfurization of gasoline using phosphotungstic acid supported on MWW zeolite

Catalysts for the desulfurization of gasoline samples were synthesized via the immobilization of well-dispersed phosphotungstic acid (HPW) on Mobil composition of matter-twenty-two (MWW) zeolite. Characterization results indicated that these catalysts possess a mesoporous structure with the retention of the Keggin structure of immobilized HPW. Relevant reaction parameters influencing sulfur removal were systematically investigated, including HPW loading, catalyst dosage, temperature, initial S-concentration, molar ratio of oxidant to sulfide (O/S), volume ratio of MeCN to model oil (Ext./oil), and sulfide species. The 40 wt-% HPW/MWW catalyst exhibited the highest catalytic activity with 99.6% dibenzothiophene sulfur removal from prepared samples. The 40 wt-% HPW/MWW catalyst was recycled four times and could be easily regenerated. Finally, as an exploratory study, straight-run-gasoline and fluid catalytic cracking gasoline were employed to accurately evaluate the desulfurization performance of 40 wt-% HPW/MWW. Our research provides new insights into the development and application of catalysts for desulfurization of gasoline.     

The effects of thermoresponsive microgel density on cell adhesion,proliferation, and detachment

In recent years, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based microgels have been emerged as a new thermoresponsive coating for cell/cell sheet harvesting, yet few work reports their effect on cell attachment, morphology, activity, and proliferation in details. In this work, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-styrene) (pNIPAAmSt) microgel was selected as the model to study its density on NIH3T3 cell adhesion, morphology, activity, and detachment. Results showed that 0.5 wt % pNIPAAmSt microgel density leads to more cells adhesion, higher cell activity yet lower cell proliferation. Moreover, cell adhesion location can be well controlled either by manipulating the sub-cellular scale distances between microgels or by fabricating large scale surface patterns of the microgels on higher microgel density. By temperature stimuli, similar ratio cells detached from the microgel density surface from 0.5 to 1.5 wt %. The results in this article are worthy for the application of thermoresponsive microgels in cell regulation. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 137, 48773.     

Morphology and properties of HDPE/zinc-neutralized sulfonated EPDM blends

The compatibility of zinc-neutralized sulfonated EPDM (Zn-SEPDM) and its effect on crystallizing behavior of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as well as the morphology of the blend were studied through wide-angle X-ray diffractomer (WAXD), differential scannign calorimetry (DSC), transition electron micrography.(TEM), scanning electron micrography (SEM), a capillary rheometer, and mechanical property test. The results show that addition of Zn-SEPDM decreases both the melting point and the crystallizing temperature of HDPE. The apparent viscosity of the blend decreases with increasing of shear rate and stress. As Zn-SEPDM content exceeds 20%, Zn-SEPDM in the blend becomes continuous and an abrupt change in impact strength occurs. Owing to the incorporation of ionic groups into EPDM, the strong interaction between the chains make the impact strength of HDPE incredibly increased without sacrificing much of its tensile strength.

钠碱脱硫废液电渗析再生机理

通过电渗析再生钠碱脱硫废液的试验和模型推导,研究了电渗析再生钠碱脱硫废液机理.结果表明：电渗析再生钠碱脱硫废液过程中,理论渗析率与实际渗析率相差较小,且随着电流密度的增大,硫的理论渗析率与实际渗析率都明显增大,硫的渗析率可以根据阴极进、出口溶液pH值进行计算.试验结果与模型具有较好的匹配性,模型可以较好地反映渗析效果.硫的理论渗析率应小于50%,在pH值为6.0～7.5的范围内,硫的渗析率上升速率较快,当pH值＜6.0或＞7.5时,硫的渗析率变化速率较慢,且在一定pH值范围内模型有较好的稳定性.

考察了脉冲式气流干燥过程中不同参数对干燥结果的影响。增大固气流量比,可以增大干燥热效率和降低最终产品的湿含量;进口气体温度的升高,能降低最终产品的湿含量,但同时也降低了干燥的热效率。粒径的减小,会使颗粒表面水分蒸发速度上升,从而降低产品的最终湿含量,增加干燥的热效率。
