Physical properties of polycaproamide/cationic dyeable poly(ethylene terephthalate) polyblended fibers

Polycaproamide (PCA) and cationic dyeable poly(ethylene terephthalate) (CDP) polymers were blended mechanically (in ratios of 75/25, 50/50, and 25/75) in a melt twin‐screw extruder to prepare three PCA/CDP polyblended materials. The blends of PCA and CDP were spun into fibers. The molar ratio of dimethyl 5‐sulfoisophthalate sodium salt for CDP was 2%. This study investigated the physical properties of PCA/CDP polyblended fibers with nuclear magnetic resonance, gel permeation chromatography, gas chromatography, potentiometer, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), extension stress–strain measurements, density gradient analysis, and rheometry. The experimental results of DSC proved that PCA and CDP formed an immiscible system. In an SEM image of a 50/50 PCA/CDP blend, the morphological aggregation of a larger size, from 3 to 5 μm in diameter, was observed. The rheological behavior of the PCA/CDP polyblended materials exhibited negative‐deviation blends, and the 50/50 blend of the PCA/CDP polyblended fibers showed a minimum tenacity value. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Epoxy-Polysulfone Networks as Advanced Matrices for Composite Materials

Compatibility between polysulfone (PSF) and epoxy oligomers in the melt state as well as the morphology and properties of alloys obtained were studied as a function of composition. The compatibility depends on the length and structure of epoxy molecules, and is best in the case of epoxysulfone oligomers (ESO).

The properties of hybrid matrices are determined by their composition and morphology. The most pronounced effects are observed in the regions of small concentrations of either component. A small quantity of PSF significantly improves thermal stability and heat resistance of the epoxy resin as well as its impact strength. On the other hand, on addition to PSF of small amounts of epoxysulfone oligomers, the processability of the matrix can be substantially improved. In particular, the melt viscosity decreases, and wetting and impregnation of fibrous reinforcement is facilitated. Besides, the matrix adhesion to fibers is increased.

Powdered PSF/ESO/curing agent mixtures are good for application in solvent-free technological processes of fibrous composites production, e.g. in electrostatic deposition of matrix particles onto a reinforcing fabric. Plastics based on hybrid matrices are distinguished by improved strength.     

Catalytic characteristics of various rubber-reinforcing carbon blacks in decomposition of methane for hydrogen production

Carbon black has recently been reported to act as an effective catalyst for methane decomposition and to exhibit stable catalytic behavior despite carbon deposition, and thus it can be used for CO₂-free production of hydrogen from natural gas. In this work, various carbon blacks with different primary particle size were investigated with respect to methane decomposition under atmospheric pressure from 1123 to 1223 K. Catalytic characteristics, such as activity, activation energy and reaction order, were investigated and compared. It was observed that with decreasing primary particle size (or increasing specific surface area), the specific activity increased and the activation energy decreased. The reaction orders for various pelletized, rubber-reinforcing carbon blacks were 0.6–0.7, about the same regardless of the primary particle size, while they were near 1 for fluffy carbon blacks. Fluffy carbon black showed higher activity and activation energy than the pelletized carbon black of the same primary particle size. Changes of the surface morphology during carbon deposition were observed by TEM. Variations of the number of active sites were discussed in regard of the primary particle size, carbon deposition and binder. The presence of different types of active sites was also suggested.     

Synthesis and characterization of thermosensitive composite microsphere latex

Monodisperse aqueous latex dispersions, prepared from mixtures of styrene, N‐isopropylacrylamide, and N,N′‐methylenebisacrylamide, were characterized. Thermosensitive composite microspheres with diameters greater than 1.0 μm, consisting of a polystyrene core and a poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) shell, were prepared. The morphology of the composite microspheres was observed with transmission electron microscopy, and the particle size of the composite microspheres was estimated with dynamic light scattering. The thermosensitive properties of the composite microspheres were evaluated via the hydrodynamic size of the composite microspheres. The particle size of the composite microspheres decreased with increasing temperature. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 96: 824–828, 2005

Rheological properties and foam processibility of precured EPDM

EPDM foam was prepared by dynamically vulcanizing EPDM compound in a HAAKE rheometer firstly, then mixing the partially precured EPDM compound with a blowing agent and a sulfur vulcanizing system on a two roll mill. The compound was extruded through a cold feed extruder, and the extrudate was foamed in a circulating hot air oven. EPDM compound was vulcanized partly in the HAAKE rheometer, the final torque increases with increasing sulfur content. Rheological measurement shows the dynamic storage modulus, the loss modulus, and the complex viscosity of precured EPDM compound increase with increasing sulfur content. Then the partially precured EPDM compound was compounded with a blowing agent and a sulfur vulcanizing systems, Rheometric measurement shows that the rate of vulcanization of partially precured EPDM compound is not affected by the precure. The blowing results show that the foam processibility could be improved and the expansion ratio increases in the same processing condition for optimum partially precured EPDM compound, which indicates the optimum crosslink density for EPDM could enhance the efficiency of blowing agent AC. SEM shows that the foam articles have a closed‐cell structure with few open cells, and the large cells inlay among the small cells. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Probabilistic pseudo-morphology for grayscale and color images

Mathematical morphology offers popular image processing tools, successfully used for binary and grayscale images. Recently, its extension to color images has become of interest and several approaches were proposed. Due to various issues arising from the vectorial nature of the data, none of them imposed as a generally valid solution. We propose a probabilistic pseudo-morphological approach, by estimating two pseudo-extrema based on Chebyshev inequality. The framework embeds a parameter which allows controlling the linear versus non-linear behavior of the probabilistic pseudo-morphological operators. We compare our approach for grayscale images with the classical morphology and we emphasize the impact of this parameter on the results. Then, we extend the approach to color images, using principal component analysis. As validation criteria, we use the estimation of the color fractal dimension, color textured image segmentation and color texture classification. Furthermore, we compare our proposed method against two widely used approaches, one morphological and one pseudo-morphological.
