Tailoring HASE rheology through polymer design: Effects of hydrophobe size, acid content, and molecular weight

Hydrophobically modified alkali-soluble emulsion (HASE) polymers are an important class of rheology modifiers for waterborne coatings applications. They are typically prepared as terpolymers by emulsion polymerization of ethyl acrylate (EA), methacrylic acid (MAA), and an associative macromonomer. The viscosity development and shear responses of HASE solutions depend on a number of factors. This article presents rheological data reflecting the impacts of three key variables: hydrophobe size, acid content, and molecular weight, on model HASE thickening and rheological performance. The relative contributions of hydrophobic association, chain expansion, and polymer chain length are discussed. In steady shear flow, all thickener solutions approached some constant low-shear viscosity at small deformation rates. At the same molar composition, larger hydrophobe size resulted in higher viscosity development and greater shear thinning behavior. The amount of acid monomer in HASE polymers can influence the balance between hydrophobic attraction and electrostatic repulsion forces. It was found that a minimum of 15 wt% MAA was required to effect dissolution and thickening of the model HASE polymers. Increasing the MAA level yielded higher zero-shear viscosity and storage modulus G’ with maximal values being obtained at 40% MAA. The molecular weight of the model thickeners was controlled by the amount of chain transfer agent (CTA) added during polymerization. When the CTA level was below 0.1 wt% based on total monomers, the polymer solutions displayed shear-thinning behavior. A small increase in CTA concentration beyond 0.1% resulted in a dramatic change to Newtonian flow, and the solution viscosity was nearly two orders of magnitude lower. The model thickeners were also tested in a vinyl acrylic architectural paint formulation. The effects of each individual factor on paint thickener efficiency, high-shear, and low-shear properties are discussed and compared with solution rheology for predictive relationships.

采用酸-碱交替沉淀法制备了一种新型的低压甲醇合成催化剂。研究了催化剂组成的影响。当Al和Zr含量固定,随着Cu/Zn摩尔比的增加,催化剂活性先升高后下降,当Cu/Zn摩尔比为1时,活性最高。XRD结果表明,Cu/Zn摩尔比为1时制备的催化剂CuO与ZnO组分间相互均匀分散程度最大。Zr较明显地提高催化剂的活性和耐热性,Mn对催化剂的耐热性提高有一定的作用,La和Ce对提高催化剂活性的作用不大。

The effects of Cl-induced alloying in Pt–Sn/Al2O3 catalysts on butane/H2 reactions

The effects of oxidation/reduction regeneration treatments, with and without 1,2-dichloropropane present as a chlorinating agent, on the structure of Pt(3%)–Sn(4.5%)/Al₂O₃ catalysts have been correlated with selectivities for butane/H₂ reactions. Particles of Pt⁰ fin Cl-free catalysts were partly covered by Sn⁰, but retained exposed ensembles of Pt atoms which were active for isomerisation, hydrogenolysis and dehydrogenation reactions, the latter becoming dominant at high reaction temperatures. Coking reduced Pt ensemble size and, hence, also favoured high selectivities for dehydrogenation as hydrogenolysis and isomerisation sites became poisoned. In contrast, the addition of 1,2-dichloropropane in an oxychlorination step before reduction promoted 1:1 Pt⁰–Sn⁰ alloy formation after reduction, the proportion of the total Pt in alloy being enhanced by increasing 1,2-dichloropropane concentration and oxychlorination temperature. The alloy surfaces were inactive for isomerisation and hydrogenolysis reactions, giving dehydrogenation as the sole catalytic reaction.

低(等)压合成氨的最佳H2/N2与催化活性的关系

采用高压催化剂性能评价实验装置，在压力分别为7.0,10.0和15.0MPa，温度分别为350,400和450℃条件下，在H2／N2为1.6-3.0范围内研究了H2／N2对A301，ZA－5和A110－2型催化剂的活性和合成塔出口氨浓度的影响。在压力和空速一定的条件下，最佳H2／N2随反应温度而异。在350，400和450℃下，最佳H2／N2分别为1.8-2.2,2.2-2.5和2.5-3.0。由此可见，合成氨反应的速率达到最大值时的最佳H2／N2值与反应的进程有关。为此提出了催化剂效率K（Catalysis efficiency)的概念来表征在催化剂作用下反应器出口氨浓度趋近平衡的程度，即K＝CNH3／C^*NH3。根据实验结果，得到了最佳H2／N2与催化剂效率的定量关系：（H2／N2）m=1.5(1 CNH3/C^*NH3)=1.5(1 K)。由此可以根据催化剂在不同反应条件下的催化剂效率来确定最佳H2／N2。凡是会降低催化剂效率的因素，都会使最佳H2／N2降低。各种影响因素对最佳H2／N2的影响中，反应温度的影响最大，其次是空速和催化剂的活性，而压力和惰性气体含量的影响相对较小。在低温（低压）下合成氨，宜采用较低的H2／N2。
