The adhesion of amorphous polystyrene surfaces below Tg

The bonding of polystyrene (PS) surfaces below T_g was investigated by two different fracture tests: the lap-shear joint method and the cantilever beam method. Adhesion energy values obtained by the two methods are in agreement and develop with (time)^1/2, at temperatures as low as T_g−16 °C. Even if the double cantilever method is the most common test found in the literature for adhesions above T_g, for low adhesion values, below T_g, the lap-shear joint geometry is more appropriate. Moreover, when the glass transition temperature is used as a reference temperature, polydisperse and monodisperse PS adhesion energy curves are superposable, suggesting that the auto-adhesion is not significantly favored by the presence of numerous chain ends at the surface (due to the low molecular weight chains provided by the polydisperse PS).

Comments on the characterisation of oxidation catalysts using TPR/TPO

Temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and oxidation (TPO) are used extensively in catalyst characterisation. In this paper, we examine the use of TPR/TPO cycles for the characterisation of a range of molybdates and single oxides. In particular we observe that the first cycle differs from that of subsequent analyses, even when the maximum temperature is limited to that used in the catalytic reaction. The effect is independent of heating rates and cooling atmospheres and has been demonstrated using different bed configurations. This observation has significance when these oxides are used in periodic flow reactors that involve many cyclical reduction/oxidation.     

High temperature swelling of coal/tetralin mixtures in a high pressure microdilatometer

High pressure microdilatometer experiments were performed on a subbituminous (Wyodak) and a bituminous (Illinois no. 6) coal in helium and hydrogen atmospheres with and without added tetralin. Wyodak coal samples showed no swelling but contractions ranging between 24 and 40 vol% upon heating at 20 and 100 °C min^{− 1} under helium or hydrogen pressures between 150 and 1000 psig (˜1.0–6.9 MPa). Under the same conditions, Illinois no. 6 coals displayed contractions (25–60 vol%) prior to swelling up to 117 vol%. Upon tetralin addition (at 35–190 wt% of the coal), Wyodak coal samples did not swell but showed an increasing contraction with increasing helium or hydrogen pressure due to a slight softening and fusion of the coal particles. In contrast, addition of tetralin at much lower concentrations (5–35 wt%) had a marked effect on the contraction and swelling behaviour of Illinois no. 6. A maximum swelling of 200 vol% was obtained at a tetralin addition of 30 wt%. The increased swelling results from more extensive softening and fusion of coal particles in the presence of tetralin. Both coals showed a decreasing char yield with increasing tetralin concentration. The substantially lower extent of interaction observed between Wyodak coal samples and tetralin compared to Illinois no. 6 coal can be attributed to the differences in pore structure and/or chemical constitution of the two coal samples. Examination of the resultant solids by optical microscopy revealed the microstructural changes produced by thermal treatment in dilatometer experiments.

Light-sensitive elastomers modified by 4-(N-dimethylmaleimido)-benzenesulphenyl chloride

New light-sensitive polymers were prepared by modification of four different elastomers with 4-(N-dimethylmaleimido)-benzenesulphenyl chloride (DMI-BSCI). Polydienes modified by DMI-BSCI form block copolymers. These polymers show a strong increase of the glass transition temperature T_g whereby the T_g increase of modified poly(octenamer) is much smaller. Higher modified polydienes have two T_g. Modified poly(octenamers) show a melting temperature dependence T_m on the content of trans double bonds which is characteristic of statistical copolymers. The ratio of rate constants with which trans- and cis-structures in poly(octenamer) are occupied by DMI-BSCI, is

$\text{k}{}_{\mathrm{trans}}\text{k}{}_{\mathrm{cis}}\text{= 0.34}$

     

Optical properties of high-temperature heat-treated vitrinites

Three vitrinites (C = 80.0, 87.9 wt%, daf and 94.2 wt%, dmmf) have been heat-treated over the temperature range 1000–2400 °C in the presence of argon. The variation of morphological and optical properties of the heat-treated samples is studied systematically using reflected-light microscopy. An optically isotropic, highly reflecting material is formed on the surface of anisotropic particles of two of the vitrinites (C, 80 and 94.2 wt%) during semi-graphitization (1000–1400 °C), which decreases in extent with increasing temperature and is absent at the end of this stage. The development and subsequent disappearance of the isotropic material is probably due to the evolution of volatile matter and subsequent deposition of pyrolytic carbon during semi-graphitization. The continuous increase of bireflectance of these two vitrinite residues, with heat-treatment temperature, indicates progressive improvement in the ordering of the molecular structure. The reflectance of the heat-treated anthracitic vitrinite (C, 94.2 wt%), increases continuously whereas the reflectance of the heat-treated low-rank vitrinite (C, 80 wt% decreases slightly from a maximum during semi-graphitization. The third vitrinite (C, 87.9 wt%) does not develop an optically isotropic highly reflecting material on particle surfaces during semi-graphitization. However, this vitrinite softens during carbonization (25–1000 °C) producing a residue with a mosaictype anisotropic microstructure. The condition of polished surfaces prepared from residues of this vitrinite from the semi-graphitization to crystallization stages (1000–2300 °C) deteriorates, values of bireflectance and reflectance decrease continuously with increasing temperature. This appears to result from a reduction in the surface hardness of particles of this vitrinite residue resulting on transformation from two-dimensional ordering to three-dimensional graphitic ordering.     

Analysis of junction temperatures in high-power GaN-based LEDs

We presented the analysis of the incomplete conduction in bonding medium in high power GaN-based light-emitting diode (LED) packages. A numerical study was carried out with parametric model to understand the junction temperature variation due to bonding medium defects. Transient thermal measurement was performed to evaluate LED’s junction temperature. Thermal resistance from chip to lead frame was 20 K/W in our sample LED. It was suggested that only 60% of the surface area of the bonding medium was involved...
