Regulation of pore cell structures of coal-based carbon foams based on the nucleation mechanism of microcellular polymer

It is widely accepted that the performance of carbon foams can be regulated by the tailoring of pore cell structures to meet the requirements of various applications. However, no theory has been used to date for guiding such regulation. In this work, carbon foams were prepared by saturating vitrinite concentrate with nitrogen gas under high pressure. The influence of key factors on the pore cell structure of carbon foams was investigated systematically. The results showed that the mean cell diameter and the bulk density of carbon foams can be regulated, respectively, in the ranges 140–440?µm and 0.29–0.75?g/cm³, which indicates that vitrinite concentrate separated from fat coal is highly suitable for the preparation of carbon foams. The variation trends of the pore cell structures were well explained by combining the homogeneous nucleation mechanism of microcellular polymer with the viscosity of the fusant formed from vitrinite concentrate. The inherent reason for all the variation trends is related to the gas nuclei density and viscosity of the fusant. More importantly, a strategy is suggested to successfully accomplish the design and regulation of the pore structure of carbon foams by taking into account the homogeneous nucleation mechanism and viscosity of the fusant.

Prediction of elongation viscosity of polymer melts

Melt extension flow is a common flow pattern during polymer processing, such as entrance converging flow in die extrusion or runner injection of polymer melts from an extruder barrel, blow molding, blowing film and melt spinning. Extensional viscosity is one of the important characterizations of the flow characteristics for polymer fluids. A new extension viscosity equation was established based on White‐Metzner model, Vinogradov‐Malkin viscosity equation and a new relaxation time equation in the present paper. The melt elongation viscosities of metallocene linear low‐density polyethylene (mLLDPE) and polyvinyl butyral (PVB) resins at 130°C were estimated applying this viscosity equation, and the predictions were compared with the measured data of mLLDPE and PVB resins at 130°C reported from reference. The results showed that calculations were close to the experimental data. The parameters in this equation were easy to be determined and the equation was convenient to use for estimating the extension viscosity of polymer melts. POLYM. ENG.

A modified model of electrical conduction for carbon black–polymer composites

A modified model of electrical conduction for carbon black‐polymer composites is proposed based on the general effective media theory and the number of carbon black particles per aggregate to describe their nonlinear conductive behavior. In order to consider the interactions between carbon black particles, a simple self‐consistent approach is used to improve the model. Expressions of electrical conductivity and percolation threshold are derived from the modified model. The predicted results of electrical conductivity and percolation threshold are in good agreement with experimental data reported in previous literature. Moreover, the dependences of electrical conductivity and percolation threshold on the number of carbon black particles per aggregate are discussed. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry     

Synthesis and electrochemical analyses of vapor-grown carbon fiber/pyrolytic carbon-coated LiFePO<Subscript>4</Subscript> composite

A vapor-grown carbon fiber/pyrolytic carbon-coated LiFePO₄ (VGCF/PCLFP) composite has been prepared in one step through a solid-state reaction accompanied by a gas-phase decomposition process. This method leads to the formation of a conductive network composed of pyrolytic carbon layer and in situ vapor-grown carbon fiber in the composite. The amount of carbon in the composite has been determined by a modified formula based on thermogravimetric analysis to be around 3.0 wt%. The optimized electrode of VGCF/PCLFP composite can deliver 150 mAhg⁻¹ at 0.5 C rate, 137 mAhg⁻¹ at 1.0 C rate and 132 mAhg⁻¹ at 3.0 C rate. And its discharge capacity loses only ~4% at a higher rate of 3.0 C after 100 cycles. The area-specific impedance of a cell fabricated with VGCF/PCLFP composite is lower than that made of only pyrolytic carbon-coated LiFePO₄, reported here for the purpose of comparison. In comparison to the electrode made of carbon black/LiFePO₄ composite (10 wt% carbon), the charge transfer resistance of the VGCF/PCLFP composite electrode decreases from 165 to 91 Ω. This technique presents an attractive way to produce high-performance LiFePO₄ cathode material through a low-cost high-efficiency process.
