Sintering of Confined Silica in Oxidized Silicon Particles

We observed electron-beam-induced sintering of amorphous silica in oxidized submicrometer silicon particles and analyzed the nature of mass transport in linear and triangular particle assemblies. The movement of silica around the rigid crystalline cores occurs rapidly and fills the necks, but the relative core positions in the sintered product depends on the initial geometry of the confined oxide. However, a thin layer of silica remains stable against the flow.

A new test for cleaning efficiency assessment of cleaners for hard surfaces

A new test was developed to assess the efficiency of no-wiping hard-surface cleaning. The test allows cleaner comparisons according to their ability to remove greasy soils. The chosen approach minimizes the mechanical forces applied while cleaning so that the interactions between a detergent solution and the soil to be removed can be characterized. For this, immersion cleaning was chosen, with coated stainless steel as substrate and pigmented oils as the model soil. Several parameters were studied in defined ranges using the Experimental Design method and systematic comparisons. The test shows high reliability on degreasing assessments and is there-fore especially suited to optimization of nonionic surfactant mixes. The originality of the test lies in the possibility of keeping a visual trace of the cleaned substrate appearance by imprinting it on a piece of paper. The validation of the test leads to corroboration of several practical observations. Temperature and agitation play a major role in cleaning efficiency. Detergent solution concentration is a more relevant parameter than pH. Sodium carbonate is shown to have a higher buffering effect than pentahydrated sodium metasilicate. The test is easy to set up, highly sensitive, and can be adapted to solve the problems encountered by formulators of detergent cleaners, such as screening the best ethoxylated fatty alcohol mix for better degreasing properties.     

Possible Ignition of Particles Ejected into the Gap in Explosive Welding of Titanium

Processes that occur in the welding gap during explosive welding are analyzed. It is shown that metal particles flying out into the gap due to the jetformation effect can ignite in shockcompressed air. For most metals, the energy released thereby is small and has no significant influence on weld formation. In titanium welding on large areas, surface sections located far from the place of detonation initiation, which experience a longterm action of a hot air flow, can dissolve a large amount of oxygen and nitrogen. If particles from these sections enter the gap, it can lead to chemical reactions with formation of TiO₂ and TiN by the mechanism of internal combustion. The energy released in the gap per unit area is commensurable with and even greater than the kinetic energy of the accelerated (flyer) plate. Local bulging and rupture of metal observed in practice can be explained by ignition and combustion of gassaturated titanium particles in the welding gap.     

惰性粒子喷动床中制备超细碳酸钙的实验与建模

A novel reaction-drying process was carried out in a spouted bed reactor with inert particles and used to prepare ultrafine CaCO3 particles. Effects of concentrations of CO2 and Ca(OH)2, and reaction temperature on Ca(OH)2 conversion were experimentally investigated. The particle sizes and composition of CaCO3 produced were characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicated that ultrafine CaCO3 particles with mean size of 80 nm could be obtained with this novel process.By modifying the Arrhenius Equation and considering the Ca(OH)2 state, a kinetic model was established to describe the process in the spouted bed. The model parameters estimated from the reaction-drying experiments were found to fit well the experimental data, indicating the applicability of the proposed kinetic model.     

Toughening modification of PS with n‐BA/MMA/styrene core–shell structured copolymer from emulsifier‐free emulsion polymerization

Core–shell structured particles, which comprise the rubbery core and glassy layers, were prepared by emulsifier‐free emulsion polymerization of poly(n‐butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate)/polystyrene [P(n‐BA/MMA)/PS]. The particle diameter was about 0.22 μm, and the rubbery core was uncrosslinked and lightly crosslinked, respectively. The smaller core–shell structured particle–toughened PS blends were investigated in detail. The dynamic mechanical behavior and observation by scanning electron microscopy of the modified blend system with core–shell structured particles indicated good compatibility between PS and the particles, which is the necessary qualification for an effective toughening modifier. Notched‐impact strength and related mechanical properties were measured for further evaluation of the toughening efficiency. The notched‐impact strength of the toughened PS blends with uncrosslinked particles reached almost sixfold higher than that of the untoughened PS when 15 phr of the core–shell structured particles was added. For the crosslinked particles the toughening effect for PS was not obvious. The toughening mechanism for these smaller particles also is discussed in this article. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation of composite particles made from solid powders and wasted plastics by semichemical recycle method

Composite particles composed of solid powders and polymer were prepared by semichemical recycle of wasted plastics. Waste expanded polystyrene was used as raw materials of polymer matrix of composite particles. Both magnetite and silicon carbide powders were used as solid powders to give thermal and electric conductivity and magnetization, respectively. In the experiment, the oil‐phase dissolving expanded polystyrene was dispersed in fine droplets into the continuous water phase. Two kinds of powders were added at the same time or separately in the O/W dispersion. Composite particles were found to have the structure that polymer particle was covered with two kinds of solid powders. The mean diameter of composite particles and the content of each solid powder were strongly affected by the addition time when silicon carbide powder was added into the dispersion. Furthermore, it was found that the gradient adhesion layer due to two solid powders was able to be formed on the surface of polymer particle. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

本文以燃烧法和固相法分别制备的红褐色陶瓷颜料ZnFe_1.2Cr_0.8O₄(燃烧法：C-ZnF;固相法：S-ZnF)为研究对象,采用正交试验的方法对颜料颗粒的研磨最优参数进行分析探讨。使用激光粒度仪表征研磨前后颜料颗粒的粒度及其分布,通过极差分析法来分析研磨的最优参数。结果表明,上述两种颜料颗粒的最优研磨条件均为：添加5wt%的分散剂WF211,研磨时间为100min,研磨转速为2000rpm。在相同的研磨条件下,对比固相法制备的颜料颗粒S-ZnF,燃烧法制备的颜料颗粒C-ZnF可以得到颗粒粒度细且分布窄的颜料颗粒产品。另外,采用一种粒数衡算模型(PBM)来模拟颜料颗粒的研磨过程破碎行为,计算颜料颗粒在研磨过程中的选择函数矩阵。通过模拟分析表明,颜料颗粒C-ZnF的研磨效果要优于颜料颗粒S-ZnF。     

Design and preparation of low-filled magnetic oriented BN@Fe3O4/EP insulating composite with improved thermal conductivity and thermal stability

As an excellent two-dimensional insulating material with high thermal conductivity, high temperature stability and high hardness, hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN) is widely applied in semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, metallurgical manufacturing and other cutting-edge fields. However, the unique surface structure of h-BN leads to poor lubricity and easy agglomeration, which limits the application of h-BN especially in the field of electronic packaging. To address key issues boosted above, this study designed and prepared the BN@Fe₃O₄ magnetic insulating particles and doped it into the reduced viscosity epoxy resin to prepare the composites. By selecting appropriate external magnetic field strength and BN@Fe₃O₄ particles’ content, a novel 3D structure of fillers like dominoes in epoxy resin composite was successfully constructed. The microstructure of the BN@Fe₃O₄ particles and composites were analyzed, the thermal conductivity, the mechanical and the electrical properties of composites were simultaneously tested. Results manifested that the core-shell structures with BN as core and Fe₃O₄ as shell was successfully prepared, linking through the PDA middle layer between the BN core and Fe₃O₄ shell. Under the influence of magnetic orientation, the BN@Fe₃O₄ magnetic particles were preferred an out-of-plane oriented in the epoxy resin composites, resulted an enormously enhanced on thermal conductivity of composites. At a magnetic field strength of 60 mT and 25 vol% BN@Fe₃O₄ content, the thermal conductivity of BN@Fe₃O₄/EP composites is as lofty as 1.832 W/(m K), which is 1023.46% higher than that of pure epoxy resin. Meanwhile, the thermal stability has also been slightly improved, the elastic modulus and insulation performances remain at the same level.
