Natural fiber‐reinforced biodegradable polyester composites were prepared from biodegradable polyesters and surface‐untreated or ‐treated abaca fibers (length ca. 5 mm) by melt mixing and subsequent injection molding. Poly(butylene succinate)(PBS), polyestercarbonate (PEC)/poly(lactic acid)(PLA) blend, and PLA were used as biodegradable polyesters. Esterifications using acetic anhydride and butyric anhydride, alkali treatment, and cyanoethylation were performed as surface treatments on the fiber. The flexural moduli of all the fiber‐reinforced composites increased with fiber content. The effect of the surface treatment on the flexural modulus of the fiber‐reinforced composites was not so pronounced. The flexural strength of PBS composites increased with fiber content, and esterification of the fiber by butyric anhydride gave the best result. For the PEC/PLA composites, flexural strength increased slightly with increased fiber content (0–20 wt.‐%) in the case of using untreated fiber, while it increased considerably in the case of using the fiber esterified by butyric anhydride. For the PLA composite, flexural strength did not increase with the fiber reinforcement. The result of soil‐burial tests showed that the composites using untreated fiber have a higher weight loss than both the neat resin and the composites made using acetylated fiber.

A luminescent Eu, Dy: SrAl2O4 glass‐ceramics with high transparency in the visible region was successfully synthesized using the frozen sorbet technique with the control of O2 partial pressure () for the oxidation of Eu2+ ions. The glass‐ceramics include Eu2+, Eu3+, and Dy3+ ions, and thus exhibits three characteristic types of emission bands, 4f–5d at around 520 nm (Eu2+ ions), 4f–4f at 610 nm (Eu3+ ions), and 480 nm (Dy3+ ions). The Eu, Dy: SrAl2O4 glass‐ceramics provide remarkable long‐persistent luminescence under dark condition. The glass‐ceramics also exhibits color‐changing luminescence in the visible region based on their remarkable light storage properties. The luminescent Eu, Dy: SrAl2O4 glass‐ceramics using the frozen sorbet technique with control of are promising materials for application in novel photonic and light storage materials. 相似文献
Resonance vibration of a water droplet located on the surface of a hydrophobic sheet under an AC electric field was investigated experimentally. In order to confirm the effect of the surface property of hydrophobic materials on the resonance phenomena of a water droplet, three kinds of hydrophobic materials, silicone rubber (SR), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and polydimethylsiloxane-grafted fluoropolymer (PGF) sheet were used. A single water droplet with a volume ranging from 3 to 30 /spl mu/L was placed between parallel electrodes, where a tangential electric field was formed along the surface of the hydrophobic sheet. A water droplet under the AC field vibrates strongly only at a particular frequency range. The resonance frequency, when the water droplet vibrates, decreases with increasing the volume of the water droplet. The resonance frequency on the SR sheet is lower than that on the PTFE and the PGF sheet. The resonance frequency and the magnitude of the deformation of the water droplet depend on the surface properties of the hydrophobic material. 相似文献
Electrochemical interaction of coaxial double microelectrodes, in which a ring microelectrode was surrounded by another ring microelectrode, was investigated. Mass-transfer reactions that occurred on both inner and outer microelectrodes interfered with each other and showed a “shielding” effect depending on potentials and geometries of microelectrodes. Application of the inner microelectrode of the double microelectrodes for a probing tip of a scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM) revealed that the shielding effect by the outer microelectrode affected the electrochemistry on the inner microelectrode in the vicinity of the substrate surface. The effect was intensified above the insulator but attenuated above the conductor as the microelectrodes approached in feedback mode of the SECM. Approach to a critical interelectrode distance also intensified the shielding effect in the substrate generation/tip collection mode. An SECM line-scan using a platinum/epoxy resin-model substrate was carried out to investigate the shielding effect on current sensitivity and lateral resolution of an SECM image. 相似文献
Sammarium(III) complex having ten-coordination structure, bis-(1,10-phenanthroline)tris-(hexafluoroacetylacetonato)samarium(III) (Sm(hfa)3(phen)2) was prepared by chelation of tris-(hexafluoroacetylacetonato) samarium(III) (Sm(hfa)3(H2O)2) with 1,10-phenantroline (phen). The characteristic ten-coordination structure of Sm(hfa)3(phen)2 was determined by 1H NMR and elemental analyses. Strong deep-red emission (λmax=643 nm) and narrow emission band (FWHM=5 nm) of Sm(hfa)3(phen)2 originated from electronic allowed transition from characteristics ten coordinate structure. The emission quantum yields Sm(hfa)3(phen)2 excited at absorption bands of ligands and Sm(III) ion were found to be 0.36 and 1.4%, respectively. 相似文献
Well-dispersed MoO3 on SiO2 showed a high activity for partial oxidation of methane (mixed with oxygen in a molar ratio of 9:1) into methanol and formaldehyde at 873 K in an excess amount of water vapor, which is attributed to the formation of silicomolybdic acid (SMA) on the catalyst surface during reaction. One of the roles of SMA for the partial oxidation of methane is proved to depress the successive oxidation of methanol and formaldehyde into carbon oxides. 相似文献
