高碳钢钢丝在铅浴和CMC水溶液中的冷却行为

利用钢丝探头分别测量了含碳0.70%的钢丝在铅浴和CMC水溶液中的冷却过程。用冷却曲线分析法阐释了钢丝的冷却过程和相变规律。钢丝的“体积效应”和在其冷却介质中的热扩散能力共同决定了铅浴淬火过程及钢丝的相变过程。高碳钢钢丝在0.25%CMC水溶液中可完全转变为珠光体组织,但其转变温度由于其连续冷却转变特性而高于在铅浴中的转变温度。根据铅浴淬火的冷却本质和CMC水溶液的冷却特性,用于替代铅浴的淬火介质应设法加快初始阶段冷却速率。     

Ionic liquid mediated nano-composite polymer gel electrolyte for rechargeable battery application

ABSTRACT

Nano-composite polymer gel electrolytes (NPGEs) based on polymer poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) PVdF-HFP, ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3- methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide BMIMTFSI, Li-salt along with the addition of SiO₂ nanoparticles have been synthesized and characterized by various techniques. Prepared NPGEs show high room temperature ionic conductivity (~10^?3 S/cm) and have a wide electrochemical window (ECW) (~3.3–3.5 V). The galvanostatic charge/discharge profile was studied by sandwiching best performing NPGEs between a LiFePO₄ cathode and lithium metal anode. The specific discharge capacity of the cell (Li/NPGE/LiFePO₄) room temperature at 0.1C rate is found to be 138 mAh/g.

Silicon Nitride Derived from an Organometallic Polymeric Precursor: Preparation and Characterization

Partially crystalline Si₃N₄, with nanosized crystals and a specific surface area greater than 200 m²/g, is obtained by pyrolysis of a commercially available vinylic polysilane in a stream of anhydrous NH₃ to 1000°C. This polymer does not contain N initially. Crystallization to high-purity α-Si₃N₄ proceeds with additional heating above 1400°C under N₂. The changes in crystallinity, powder morphology, infrared spectra, and elemental compositions, for samples annealed from 1000° to 1600°C under N₂, are consistent with an amorphous-to-crystalline transformation. Although macroscopic consolidation and local densification occur at 1400°C, volatilization and accompanying weight loss limit bulk densification. The effect of temperature on specific surface area is examined and related to the sintering process. These results are applicable to pyrolysis, decomposition, and crystallization studies of ceramics synthesized by polymeric precursor routes.     

Water structure and improved mechanical properties of phospholipid polymer hydrogel with phosphorylcholine centered intermolecular cross-linker

We investigated the water structure and the mechanical properties of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer hydrogels cross-linked with a novel hydrophilic 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl-[N-(2-methacryloyloxy)ethyl]phosphorylcholine (MMPC) for soft contact lenses (SCL) applications and commercial methacrylic cross-linkers were in addition used for comparison with MMPC. Water structure in hydrogels, which influences the protein adsorption by dehydration was determined by differential scanning calorimetry. MMPC increased the freezing water content of the MPC polymer hydrogel compared with hydrophilic N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS) at the same water content. MMPC also improved fracture strength of the MPC polymer hydrogel to 120 kPa in tensile, which was considerably higher than that hydrogel cross-linked with BIS. It is suggested that MMPC shows higher cross-linking reactivity with MPC than BIS. We concluded that the MMPC increase both the free water content and the tensile properties. The MPC polymer hydrogel cross-linked with MMPC can be a useful SCL biomaterial.     

Study on Tribological Properties of Polytetrafluoroethylene Drawn Uniaxially at Different Temperature

Summary: Wear behavior correlations with morphology have been established from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) drawn at 200, 327, and 375 °C with draw ratio about 4. The friction coefficient and wear rate for PTFE drawn at 327 °C are lower and the wear rate is lower than that of undrawn PTFE by about 30%. The structures of samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), DSC, and wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD). Results indicate that the debris morphologies of samples are different. The differences in the tribological behavior of undrawn and drawn samples were attributed to the improvement of the degree of the crystalline, fibrillation, and orderliness by drawing, especially, for PTFE drawn at 327 °C. The orderliness of molecular arrangement along the drawn direction is also higher for PTFE drawn at 327 °C than those of PTFE drawn at 200 and 375 °C, respectively. Therefore, the intensity of covalent bond along drawn direction is higher. The shear resistance and the deformability of the material are greatly improved and the size of the wear breakage unit decreases, which results in a good tribological property for PTFE drawn at 327 °C.

Embedding poly(styrene sulfonic acid) into PVDF matrix—a new type of proton electrolyte membrane

Hydrophilic polymer segments, consisting of styrene sulfonic acid (SSA) units, were uniformly embedded into hydrophobic poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix through the mediation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) segments, with which SSA segments form a copolymer. Discrete domains (∼100 nm) assembled by the SSA segments have been identified throughout the matrix of the membrane, which was prepared through blending of the copolymer P(MMA-SSA) and the PVDF. The thermal stability of the SSA was largely boosted in such hydrophobic environment. This unique matrix structure offers proton conductivity of as high as 10⁻³ S/cm at a low SSA equivalent (0.6 mmol -SO₃H/g of membrane), which is accompanied with a low level of water uptake (26%) at ambient temperature. Using this type of polymer membrane as electrolyte, the electrochemical cell possesses obvious capacitive resistance when the membrane is in the anhydride form according to the impedance analysis. However, the capacitive character vanishes when the membrane is hydrated; this response is attributed to the existence of highly dispersed SSA domains in the membrane. This work also analyzes the impedance spectra of the membranes at different hydrated states or with different SSA contents by using an equivalent electrical circuit.
