Study on the synthesis of thiirane

In this study, a thiirane resin was synthesized by the reaction of corresponding epoxy resin with KSCN. The synthetic conditions influencing the conversion of epoxy group were systematically investigated, such as the reaction temperature, reaction media, reaction time and the ratio of KSCN to epoxy group. It was found that the conversion of epoxy group increased with the increasing reaction temperature, improving the solubility of the mediate, extending reaction time, and the enhancing ratio of salt (KSCN) to epoxy group. Wherein, the reaction temperature and the ratio of the KSCN to epoxy group were more effective. For example, when the molar ratio of KSCN to epoxy group was equal to 2.0, the conversion of epoxy group got the maximum value, 0.65. In addition, the hot plate method was used to measure the gelling time of the resultant thiirane resin at different temperatures. It was found that the gelling time was reduced to 47–85% times as the corresponding epoxy resin depending on the conversion of the epoxy group, and the curing activation energy was diminished from 39 kJ/mol of epoxy resin to 17 kJ/mol. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of copolymers of tert‐butyl vinyl ether with maleic and citraconic anhydrides

In the present study, the effects of charge‐transfer complex formation and intramolecular fragmentation (side‐chain lactonization) in radical copolymerization of tert‐butyl vinyl ether (t‐BVE) with anhydrides of maleic (MA) and citraconic (CA) acids and the structure–thermal behavior relationships of the resulting copolymers were examined using the ¹H‐NMR, FTIR, DSC, and TGA analysis methods. It was shown that copolymerization under the chosen conditions proceeded through intramolecular fragmentation with the formation of γ‐lactone units. Side‐chain fragmentation of t‐BVE–MA and t‐BVE–CA copolymers also was confirmed by TGA and DSC analysis. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100: 2455–2463, 2006 2006     

Effect of Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, or Zn2+ on properties of polyaniline nanoparticles

Uniform polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles with typical sizes of about 50 nm were electropolymerized on indium tin oxide surfaces in the presence of Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, or Zn²⁺. According to shaping theory, we first suggest the reason forming PANI spherical particles. Their conductivity, UV‐vis spectra, FTIR spectra, X‐ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis were investigated. The conductivities and crystallinity of PANI doped with these ions are higher than those of PANI doped with HCl (PANI/HCl). Both UV‐vis absorption spectra and FTIR spectra indicate the interactions between Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, or Zn²⁺ and PANI chains. TG analysis also shows that the thermal stability of PANI doped by Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, or Zn²⁺ is lower than that of PANI/HCl. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2007     

Reaction pathway of benzonitrile formation during toluene ammoxidation on vanadium phosphate catalysts

The reaction pathway of the ammoxidation of toluene on (VO)₂P₂O₇ used as catalyst and the interaction of potential intermediates with the pyrophosphate were studied by spectroscopic techniques (FTIR, EPR), temperature-programmed chemisorptions/ reactions (TPD, TPRS) and transient studies such as the temporal analysis of products (TAP) technique. NH₃ is chemisorbed on the catalyst surface, forming three different species, i.e., NH ₄ ⁺ ions located on BrØnsted sites, coordinatively bound NH₃ on Lewis sites and NH ₂ ^– groups, presumably P-NH₂. Toluene that is probably adsorbed on Lewis sites reacts in a first step to a benzyl radical. A subsequent partial oxidation by interaction of V^IV=O groups generates a V...O=CH-C₆H₅ surface structure. This benzaldehyde-like surface species reacts with adsorbed NH₃ according to a Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism. TAP experiments on ammonium-containing vanadium phosphates revealed that NH ₄ ⁺ ions could act as potential N-insertion species. No formation of benzylamine as well as the generation of V=NH surface groups as possible intermediates or N-insertion sites were observed.     

Study of the sorption and acidic properties of MTW-type zeolite

The acidity of H-MTW-type zeolite has been investigated using infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine. Pore volume has been measured by nitrogen andn-hexane adsorption. The zeolite exhibits infrared signals at 3612 and 3580 cm^–1 tentatively attributed to bridging hydroxyl groups vibrating in the main channel and in the six-membered rings of the structure, respectively. Both hydroxyl groups possess high acid strength and are readily accessible to pyridine. H-MTW shows an-hexane cracking activity at 350°C comparable to that obtained with MFI and BEA-type materials with a product selectivity between medium and large pore structural types.     

采用DSC和FTIR对木材和API胶粘剂间反应的研究

采用差示扫描星热法(Differential Scanning Calormelry,简称DSC)和傅立叶变换红外吸收光谱(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy,简称FTIR)对木材和水性高分子异氰酸酯胶粘剂(Aqueous Polymer Isocyanate,简称API)的胶接机理进行了研究。DSC和FTIR的试验结果均表明:API胶粘剂和木材间发生了化学反应:API胶粘剂和木材间发生的反应所需活化能远小于API胶粘剂的主剂+固化剂的活化能,亦即用API 胶粘剂胶接木材时发生的反应要比API胶粘剂本身的固化反应容易得多,同时从理论上证明使用API胶粘剂胶接木材时装配时间最长不应超过其活性期的一半时间,且装配时间越短越好;文中还研究了升温速率对API胶粘剂DSC图谱的影响。     

Relationship between chemical degradation and thickness loss of an amine-cured epoxy coating exposed to different UV environments

The relationship between chemical degradation and thickness loss of an unpigmented, non UV-stabilized, crosslinked amine-cured epoxy coating exposed to three UV conditions was investigated. Spin-coated samples having a thickness of approximately 7 μm on an Si substrate were prepared from a stochiometric mixture of a bisphenol A epoxy resin and a tetra-functional amine curing agent. Samples were exposed outdoors and to two accelerated laboratory UV environments. Chemical degradation and thickness loss were measured by transmission Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIRS) and laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), respectively. In addition, surface roughness and morphological changes were measured by atomic forcemicrosocopy (AFM) and LSCM. Substantial chemical degradation, thickness loss, and morpholocal changes occurred in the exposed films, and the rate of chemical degradation was greater than that due to the thickness loss. This additional chemical loss was attributed to an inhomogeneous degradation process in which nanoscale localized depressions initiate at certain sites on the surface, which then enlarge and deepen with exposure time. The results of this study provide a better understanding of the degradation mechanism and should lead to the development of scientific-based models for predicting the service life of crosslinked amine-cured epoxy coatings.

Water-soluble Copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and Vinyl Acetate: Synthesis, Characterization, and Monomer Reactivity at High Conversions

Homogeneous copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone (VP) and vinyl acetate (VA) which form clear aqueous solutions were prepared by free radical polymerization in a solution of isopropanol alcohol, using 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator. They were characterized by FTIR, ¹H-NMR, and element analysis studies. The reactivity ratios of the monomer were computed by the Extended Kelen–Tüdós method at high conversions, using data from both ¹H-NMR and elemental analysis studies. The reactivity ratios of VP and VA in a homogenous copolymer were observed to be very different from that of a heterogeneous copolymer. Additional information was obtained by finding out the sequence length distribution for copolymers.
