Mathematical models of the thermal decomposition of coal: 3. Density,porosity and contraction behaviour

Mathematical models are proposed to predict the true density of coal, semi-coke and coke and the porosity of a coke oven charge during carbonization. These models are combined in a further model which predicts the hitherto unexplained ‘twin-peaked’ contraction curve observed for semi-coke. It is found that the first contraction peak results from the relatively high rate of mass loss occurring towards the end of the primary devolatilization stage. The second peak occurs because of the increase in true density arising from the elimination of hydrogen from the semi-coke.     

Surface and subsurface products of the interaction of O2 with Ag under catalytic conditions

Polycrystalline Ag treated with O₂ at pressures up to 1 bar and at temperatures up to 920 K was examined by TDS. It was found that the peak commonly observed at 595±25 K and assigned to adsorbed atomic oxygen (O_a) is shifted to higher desorption temperatures with rising dosing temperatures. Since saturation of the uptake was not possible either, this peak was identified as dissolved atomic oxygen (O_d). The existence of a maximum for the O₂ uptake after exposure at 820 K was found. Hence, under conditions of formaldehyde synthesis ( 920 K) the ability of the catalyst to dissolve oxygen is near its maximum.

Preparations and properties of thermosensitive terpolymers of N‐isopropylacrylamide,sodium 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐propanesuphonate,and N‐tert‐butylacrylamide

Terpolymers based on N‐isopropylacrylamide, sodium 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐propanesulfonate, and N‐tert‐butylacrylamide were synthesized by free‐radical copolymerization with 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator. The lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) of the linear polymer aqueous solutions were determined by the measurement of the transmittance on UV at different temperatures. The influence of the polymer concentration, polymer composition, and ionic strength on the LCSTs of the linear polymers was investigated. The LCST decreased with increases in the hydrophobic monomer N‐tert‐butylacrylamide, polymer concentration, and ionic strength. The phase transition became sharp when the polymer concentration and ionic strength increased. Meanwhile, the crosslinked hydrogels were prepared with the same recipe used for the linear terpolymers, but a crosslinker was added to the reaction system. The swelling ratios of the hydrogels at various temperatures and salt solutions were determined. The hydrogels possessed both high swelling ratios and thermosensitivity. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007     

Synthesis of tetramethyl-p-silphenylenesiloxanedimethylsiloxane triblock copolymer by employing living anionic polymerization

Dimethylsiloxane-tetramethyl-p-silphenylenesiloxane-dimethylsiloxane (DMS-TMPS-DMS) triblock copolymer was synthesized by employing living anionic polymerization of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D₃). Two synthetic methods were carried out for the polymerization. One of those methods was the anionic polymerization of D₃ initiated at the silanolate anion which was prepared from the terminal hydroxyl group of silanol-terminated TMPS prepolymer by reaction with n-butyllithium (method 1). The other was the coupling reaction of vinyl-terminated TMPS prepolymer with hydrosilyl-terminated DMS prepolymer obtained from the anionic polymerization of D₃ by using diphenylmethylsilanolate anion as initiator (method 2). In method 1, DMS contents of the copolymers ranged from 25.8 to 72.5 wt% and the values agreed with the ratio of D₃ to TMPS prepolymer. The weight-average molecular weights ranged from 1.36×10⁴ to 19.4×10⁴ and were close to the predicted values calculated from the $\text{M}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{v}}$ of the TMPS prepolymer and the amount of D₃ added. In the case of method 2, weight-average molecular weights ranged from 19.5×10⁴ to 24.2×10⁴. The high molecular weight copolymer could thus be obtained by method 2. Intrinsic viscosity values of the triblock copolymers agreed with calculated values obtained by considering the copolymer as a binary mixture of these homopolymers. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry were carried out on the triblock copolymers. The equilibrium melting temperatures of each of the copolymers were very close to that of poly-TMPS (160°C). The glass transition temperature and heat of fusion were decreased as the DMS content was increased. The thermogravimetric curves for the copolymers indicated that the thermal stability of the triblock copolymer was intermediate between the DMS and TMPS homopolymers.     

Radiation-induced copolymerization of trioxane with tetrahydrofuran

Radiation-initiated copolymerization of solid trioxane (TOX) with tetrahydrofuran (THF) was investigated. The effects of radiation dose, THF concentration, and post-polymerization temperature and duration on copolymer yield and THF incorporation were studied. These results are compared with the results of TOX homopolymerization under identical conditions. Copolymer yield was lower than that of homopolymer. Only a fraction of charged THF entered into the polymer chain. THF content and radiation dose also altered the MW of the copolymer but it showed better thermal stability. The initial reaction rates of the copolymerization were determined and from these the activation energy was found to be 36.2 kcal mol^?1.     

Microstructure of solution-chlorinated polyethylene by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance

Solution-chlorinated polyethylene prepared by a modified method has been characterized using ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) and differential thermal analysis (d.t.a.). The results show that the residual paraffin segments, melting point and crystallinity decrease rapidly with increasing chlorine content. The prepared polymer seems to have a homogeneous chlorine distribution.
