Environmentally benign precipitation copolymerization of methacrylate ester and styrene to make polymeric microspheres in supercritical carbon dioxide

The polymeric microspheres were synthesized by the precipitation copolymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) with methacrylic acid(MAA) or 2‐hydoxyethyl methacrylate (2‐HEMA) containing styrene (ST) in SC‐CO₂. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the products were spherical microparticles, with the addition of MAA and/or 2‐HEMA as the monomer, with diameter of 0.2–2 μm. The effects of copolymerization pressure, temperature, and ratios of GMA/MAA, ST, and/or GMA/2‐HEMA, on the particle size and morphology were investigated in detail. A new experiment setup is proposed for the large amount of production, based on the rule of lower monomer concentration, more stable system, and better use of the present polymerization apparatus. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Processing of polypropylene–clay nanocomposites: Single‐screw extrusion with in‐line supercritical carbon dioxide feed versus twin‐screw extrusion

This work investigates two different melt‐blending strategies for preparing compatibilized polypropylene‐clay nanocomposites, specifically: (1) conventional twin‐screw extrusion, and (2) single‐screw extrusion capable of direct supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO₂) feed to the extruder barrel. Proportional amounts (3 : 1) of maleic anhydride functionalized polypropylene compatibilizer and organically modified montmorillonite clay at clay loadings of 1, 3, and 5 wt % are melt‐blended with a polypropylene homopolymer using the two approaches. The basal spacing, degree of exfoliation, and dispersion of organoclay is assessed using X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and rheology. In terms of the latter, both steady shear and small‐amplitude oscillatory shear provide information about the apparent yield stress and solid‐like terminal behavior respectively. Finally, nanoindentation is performed to determine the room temperature modulus of each melt‐blended nanocomposite. The results reveal unequivocally that the high shear of the twin‐screw process is vastly superior to the single‐screw with in‐line scCO₂ addition in generating well‐exfoliated, percolated polypropylene‐clay nanocomposites. It is likely that increased contact time between clay and scCO₂ is necessary for scCO₂ to positively affect exfoliation. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 103: 884–892, 2007     

Study of different effect on foaming process of biodegradable bionolle in supercritical carbon dioxide

Microcellular foaming of biodegradable Bionolle in supercritical CO₂ has been produced. The effects of a series of variable factors, such as saturation temperature, saturation pressure, and depressurization time and step on the foam structures and density, were studied through measurement of density and SEM observation. The experimental results show that higher saturation temperatures lead to an increase in bulk densities; and different depressurization time and step result in different product cell morphology. In addition, at some saturation temperature, the orientation of the cells can be found in the product morphology. XRD experimental results show that the foaming treatment with SC CO₂ increased the crystallinity of Bionolle. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100: 2901–2906, 2006

某支线飞机超临界机翼设计研究

文章在翼身组合体构形下,采用面向机翼的精细修形设计方法针对某支线飞机进行了超临界机翼设计.由于支线飞机机翼面积较小,在满足气动性能的前提下,能否满足结构设计的要求就成为本次修形设计所考虑的主要因素.设计实践表明,在合理的设计思想指导下,当初始外形与设计目标相差较大时,采用渐近修形设计技术仍然可以得到比较满意的结果.     

强化两相混合的超临界技术制备聚乳酸微粒

针对商品化聚乳酸微球粒径分布较宽难于适用气溶胶给药要求的不足,采用水力空化混合强化超临界流体辅助雾化技术(SAA-HCM)制备聚乳酸(PLA)超细微粒.该技术主要特点是通过在超临界流体和液相进料处引入水力空化混合器,强化两相间的混合.考察SAA-HCM过程混合器压力、温度、沉淀器温度、进料中CO2与液体溶液质量流量比和溶液质量浓度等操作参数对微粒形态和粒径分布的影响,成功制备出球形度较好,粒径分布较窄(1～3μm)的PLA微球.经X射线衍射(XRD)分析和差示扫描量热(DSC)分析显示,与原料PLA相比,微球晶型及热曲线变化不大,但结晶度下降.同时把操作参数与相行为进行关联,探讨了影响颗粒形貌的机理.对比超临界流体辅助雾化法(SAA)的实验结果表明:水力空化的引入能有效强化混合器内的两相传质,混合更好,能制备出适用于气溶胶给药要求的超细微粒.

Separation of crude palm oil components by semipreparative supercritical fluid chromatography

Successful separation of triglycerides, diglycerides, free fatty acids, carotenes, tocopherol, and tocotrienols from crude palm oil has been achieved by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) with a combination of a C18 and a silica gel column. The separation was carried out by the programmed extraction elution method. Free fatty acids were separated into five components by gas-liquid chromatography; tocopherol and tocotrienols were also separated into four components by SFC analysis, and the pure fractionated carotenes were obtained by preparative SFC. Thus, by using supercritical fluid chromatography, crude palm oil components can be separated and fractionated, based on differences in their functional groups.
