Preparation and Characterization of Mordenite Thin Films via Pulsed Laser Deposition

Zeolite thin films are interesting for their potential application in membrane based separations, catalysis, and molecular sensing. Mordenite is a one-dimensional channel type zeolite that has been used in alcohol/water separations. Pulsed-laser deposition has been used to prepare partially oriented, crystalline mordenite thin films on stainless steel foil, and frits as well as carbon fibers and DAM-1 particles. Preliminary results for pervaporation of isopropanol/H₂O mixtures using mordenite membranes indicate separation factors of 133 and 459 at room temperature and 76°C, respectively.     

Thermal Expansion of Solid Solutions in the ZrTiO4—In2O3—M2O5 (M = Sb, Ta) System

Axial and dilatometric thermal expansions and phase transformations were studied for solid solutions having the α-PbO₂ structure in the ZrTiO₄—In₂O₃—M₂O₅ (M = Sb, Ta) system with nominal formulas of Zr _x Ti _y In _z Sb _z O₄ and Zr _x Ti _y In _z Ta _z O₄ where x + y + 2 z = 2. With increased substitution of z , the cell volume increased, the difference in the b parameters at room temperature between those quenched from 1400° and 1000°C decreased, and the thermal expansion decreased. The axial thermal expansion of ZrTi _y In _z · Ta _z O₄ with z = 0.3 was almost identical with that of HfTiO₄, and those with z = 0.4 and z = 0.45 were smaller than that of HfTiO₄. Unit-cell volumes of these compound were compared with those of single oxides to make it clear that the unit-cell volume of ZrTiO₄ was small anomalously and to distinguish the normal and abnormal substitution systems. These results were explained by the working hypothesis proposed for these compounds.     

不饱和聚酯树脂微乳液的研究(Ⅰ)不饱和聚酯树脂的微乳化

合成了不同磺酸盐含量的三种不饱和聚酯，通过拟三元相图分析磺酸盐含量、苯乙烯、不同正构醇和水组成的体系对微乳区域的影响。研究结果表明，磺酸盐不饱和聚酯同苯乙烯互溶的前提下，磺酸盐含量越大，其微乳液增溶的水量越大；磺酸盐含量一定时，苯乙烯含量越小，其微乳液增溶的水量越大；正构醇质量分数为在2％～10％范围内，其微乳液增溶的水量最多；三种醇相比较，正丁醇体系的微乳区是W／O型向O／W型过渡的连续区域，正丙醇体系的O／W型微乳液区明显不同于正丁醇体系，正戊醇体系不能形成水包油型的微乳区。     

Phase Relations in the System Al2O3–B2O3–Nd2O3

The phase relations at a temperature below "subsolidus" in the system Al₂O₃–B₂O₃–Nd₂O₃ are reported. Specimens were prepared from various compositions of Al₂O₃, B₂O₃, and Nd₂O₃ of purity 99.5%, 99.99%, and 99.9%, respectively, and fired at 1100°C. There are six binary compounds and one ternary compound in this system. The ternary compound, NdAl₃(BO₃)₄ (NAB), has a phase transition at 950°C ± 15°C. The high-temperature form of NAB has a second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of KH₂PO₄ (KDP) of the order of magnitude of the form which has been used as a good self-activated laser material, and the low-temperature form of NAB has no SHG efficiency.     

Controlling the morphology of polyurethane/polystyrene interpenetrating polymer networks for enhanced blood compatibility

Polyurethane (PU)/polystyrene (PS) IPNs were simultaneously synthesized at 80°C, controlling the reaction kinetics to change the morphology. Polymerization kinetics of styrene was controlled by the content of initiator, and that of polyurethane by the catalyst concentration. The effect of the initiator and the catalyst on the polymerization rate was analyzed by NMR spectroscopy and FTIR. Gelation time was also measured by using the advanced rheometric expansion system (ARES). Samples with sea‐and‐island morphology were obtained, when the polymerization rate of PS was relatively slow, and the phase separation time was long. When the polymerization rate of PS was relatively fast, and the phase separation time was short, cocontinuous morphology was obtained. The degree of phase separation and surface roughness decreased, as the rate of PU network formation was increased, and the phase‐continuity was increased. The in vitro blood‐compatibility tests showed that the surface roughness was an important factor on the adsorption of fibrinogens and platelets. A large amount of fibrinogens and platelets were adsorbed on the relatively rough surface of samples showing sea‐island morphology. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Moisture absorption behavior of rubber‐modified epoxy resins

The moisture absorption behavior of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A/ethylene diamine resins incorporating a carboxy‐terminated butadiene–acrylonitrile rubber was investigated and associated with their morphology of phase separation. Although the diffusion coefficient of moisture was increased with the rubber content, its activation energy and free volume for moisture diffusion were barely changed until phase inversion occurred. After phase inversion, the free volume was significantly increased, and the activation energy decreased. In addition, the moisture absorption also reduced the β‐transition temperature of the resins and slightly increased the glass‐transition temperature before phase inversion. However, the reverse was found after phase inversion. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 86: 3718–3724, 2002     

An Experimental Approach for the Characterisation of Rigid Porous Media and Unsaturated Conductivity Relations

A laboratory procedure for the characterisation of rigid, porous media is developed and tested. The overall objective of the characterisation is to provide a basis for the choice of a relevant unsaturated conductivity relation. With the proposed procedure, the porous materials are characterised through hydraulic conductivity measurements, saturation-pressure measurements, porosity measurements and air entry pressure measurements. The measurements were conducted using water and a selected non-aqueous phase liquid (n-decane), and two types of homogeneous, rigid porous media of different origin (fritted glass samples with guaranteed homogeneity by the manufacturer, and chalk). The laboratory method successfully characterised the fritted glass samples as homogeneous on basis of calculated tortuosity values, measured bubble pressures and measured pore-size density curves. The contact angle between the liquid and the solid had negligible impact when comparing the drainage of water with the drainage of n-decane, and also when comparingn -decane drainage in dry porous media withn -decane drainage in media where a film of water separated then -decane from the pore wall. Also, the differences in saturated conductivities between n-decane and water in both samples of chalk and fritted glass were well predicted on basis of differences in density and viscosity of the liquids. The laboratory procedure was furthermore used for characterisation of the pore space available for non-aqueous liquid flow in partially water-saturated porous media. Then -decane conductivities in the fritted glass samples partially saturated with water were considerably lower than the n-decane conductivities in the dry fritted glass samples.

BST/MgO系铁电移相材料微波电性能的研究

采用正交设计实验方法分析了SnO2、MnCO3、B i2O3和A l2O3添加量对BST/MgO系铁电移相材料微波电性能影响。实验结果表明:SnO2的引入促进样品烧结,有助于降低低频和微波损耗,但过多的加入会产生第二相,会使微波损耗上升。Mn受主取代Ti产生空穴等缺陷,不利于微波损耗的降低,而等价取代类似SnO2的情况,有助于降低微波损耗,但过多的加入会产生第二相,也会使微波损耗上升。B i2O3对材料微波电性能有显著的影响,从离子半径匹配角度,B i2O3一般出现在晶粒间,形成玻璃相,一方面促进烧结,使致密化提高,低频损耗变小;另一方面低熔点的玻璃相引起微波损耗急剧上升。A l2O3对材料电性能影响不显著。
