Miniemulsion and conventional emulsion copolymerization of styrene and butadiene: Effect of process on gel content

The properties of styrene/butadiene copolymers obtained by conventional emulsion and miniemulsion polymerizations were studied. Thin layer chromatography with flame ionization detection was used to determine the gel fraction of the copolymer in the latex particles as a function of conversion. It was found that the gel formation began at a higher conversion in the miniemulsion polymerization when compared with that in the conventional process. Also, a lower glass transition temperature was noted at the lowest conversion sampled (～25%), implying a higher initial butadiene monomer concentration within the nucleated miniemulsion monomer droplets when compared with particles formed conventionally. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Zinc Coated Steel/Epoxy Adhesive Systems: Investigation of the Interfacial Zone by FTIR Spectroscopy

The present study takes advantage of the ability of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) for the analysis of ultrathin organic films on metals. FTIR in the reflection mode (IRRAS) is used in order to study the interaction of ultrathin films of dicyandiamide (hardener of most one-pack epoxy resins) with various substrates, model ones such as gold or zinc and industrial ones such as steel and zinc-coated steels.

Pure zinc surfaces and, to a lesser extent, zinc-coated steels are shown to react with dicyandiamide after heating at 180°C, as evidenced by the frequency shift of the absorption band (at about 2200 cm^-1) characteristic for nitrile groups. As real systems consist of thick layers of a fully formulated adhesive cured onto a metallic substrate, the direct investigation of such a buried interphase is no longer possible by FTIR and by most of the known spectroscopies. Some mechanically tested specimens are then analysed, after failure, by FTIR microspectrometry. The spectra obtained, corresponding to the fracture initiation zone which is about 100 μm in diameter, advocate for the presence of an ultrathin layer of modified polymer still covering the substrate.

Numerical analysis of galvanic corrosion of Zn/Fe interface beneath a thin electrolyte

A numerical analysis of galvanic corrosion of a Zn/Fe interface beneath a thin layer electrolyte is presented. Specifically, a circular defect, where the zinc coating has been removed, is considered. It is assumed that both oxygen reduction and iron oxidation can occur on the Fe surface, while only zinc oxidation occurs on the Zn surface. The importance of electrolyte thickness and conductivity and defect radius is considered. It is assumed that the iron and zinc oxidation rates are described by a Tafel relationship. If the kinetic parameters of the oxidation reactions are known, the cathodic protection of Fe is a function of a Wagner number, the ratio of the electrolyte thickness to the defect radius, and the ratio of the radius of the defect to the outer radius of the zinc layer.     

载体预处理对Pd/C催化剂催化性能的影响

研究了活性炭硝酸表面改性对以其为载体制备的负载钯催化剂性能的影响。利用表面官能团滴定、N₂物理吸附和扫描电镜对催化剂进行表征，以邻硝基氯苯催化加氢制备2，2'-二氯氢化偶氮苯反应为模型反应对催化剂的性能进行评价。结果表明，经过不同浓度的HNO₃处理，活性炭孔结构性能变化不大，但是活性炭表面酸性含氧基团的浓度有了较大程度的增长，为Pd金属粒子的沉积提供了大量的吸附位，提高了Pd金属的分散度，从而制得高活性的Pd/C催化剂。通过30%HNO₃ 60 ℃水浴中回流4 h处理的活性炭可以达到最佳效果，所制得催化剂的活性是以未经硝酸处理过的活性炭载体制备的催化剂活性的2.3倍。     

Unique Dielectric Behavior of 0.6Pb(Ni1/2W1/2)O3·0.4PbTiO3 Derived from Mechanical Activation

0.6Pb(Ni_1/2W_1/2)O₃·0.4PbTiO₃(0.6PNW·0.4PT) of complex perovskite structure is successfully synthesized by mechanical activation of mixed oxide composition, followed by sintering at 950°C. It exhibits a considerably stable temperature dependence of dielectric constant over the wide temperature range of −120° to 20°C, although there occurs a dielectric peak at around 74°C. Raman spectroscopic studies show the coexistence of tetragonal and pseudocubic perovskite phases on sintering at 950°C, which are attributed to the inhomogeneous distribution of PbTiO₃ arising from mechanical activation. The dielectric behavior can be fine tuned by thermal annealing at 750°C, leading to phase redistribution in PNW-PT.     

Synthesis of Thermally Stable χ-Alumina by Thermal Decomposition of Aluminum Isopropoxide in Toluene

Thermal decomposition of aluminum isopropoxide in toluene at 315°C resulted in χ-alumina that had high thermal stability, whereas the reaction at lower temperatures resulted in formation of an amorphous product. The χ-alumina thus obtained directly transformed to α-alumina at ∼1150°C, bypassing the other transition alumina phases, whereas the amorphous product transformed to γ-alumina and then to θ-alumina before final transformation to α-alumina. When the χ-alumina, solvothermally synthesized at 315°C, was recovered by the removal of the solvent at the reaction temperature, thermal stability of the product was improved further. This procedure is convenient because it avoids bothersome work-up processes that yield large-surface-area and large-pore-volume alumina.     

Crystallographic Texture Development in Bismuth Sodium Titanate Prepared by Reactive-Templated Grain Growth Method

Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃ (BNT) and 0.94Bi_0.5Na_0.5TiO₃·0.06BaTiO₃ (BNT–BT) bulk ceramics with extensive 〈100〉 texture were prepared by the reactive-templated grain growth method, using platelike Bi₄Ti₃O₁₂ (BIT) particles as templates for BNT. Calcined compacts were composed of matrix grains with random orientation and 〈100〉-oriented grains transformed from aligned BIT particles, and the texture developed by the growth of oriented grains during sintering. Ceramics with extensive texture were obtained by using the starting mixture containing the maximum concentration of platelike BIT to form the maximum volume fraction of oriented grains.
