Aromatization of n-butane over new LD-HBS catalysts. Effect of the gallium oxide support

It is shown that even pure quartz, other silicas or aluminas can enhance the aromatization activity of a ZSM-5 zeolite. Incorporation of gallium oxide onto these supports increases further the production of aromatics. The use of supported gallium oxide co-catalyst obtained by co-evaporation of a colloidal silica and a Ga salt has led to extremely high aromatization performance for the hybrid catalyst.     

Studies on crystal morphology and crystallization kinetics of polypropylene filled with CaCO3 of different size and size distribution

Changes in the crystal morphology, crystallinity, and the melting temperature of thermoplastics resulted in significant changes in the mechanical behavior of composites containing them. For this reason, the research of crystal morphology and crystallization kinetics in thermoplastic composites became an important requirement. The thermoplastic filled with the filler of different size gradation was a new method for improving processability of thermoplastic composites. We have previously reported that the melt viscosity of polypropylene (PP) composites, which were filled with 30 wt % CaCO₃ of effective size gradation, could be evidently declined. In this study, two sizes of CaCO₃, 325 meshes and 1500 meshes, were blended by different proportions and filled into PP matrix with 30 wt %. Crystal morphology and isothermal crystallization kinetics of a series of composites were characterized by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and polarizing microscope. The results showed that composites filled with CaCO₃ of effective size gradation leaded to a well‐crystalline order and a large crystal size, while their isothermal crystallization kinetics and crystallization rate constant (k) were declined, and their Avrami exponents (n) and crystallization half‐life (t_1/2) were increased compared with the composites filled with single size CaCO₃. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(butylene terephthalate)/montmorillonite nanocomposites

The melt intercalation method was employed to prepare poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites, and the microstructures were characterized with X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Then, the nonisothermal crystallization behavior of the nanocomposites was studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The DSC results showed that the exothermic peaks for the nanocomposites distinctly shifted to lower temperatures at various cooling rates in comparison with that for pure PBT, and with increasing MMT content, the peak crystallization temperature of the PBT/MMT hybrids declined gradually. The nonisothermal crystallization kinetics were analyzed by the Avrami, Jeziorny, Ozawa, and Mo methods on the basis of the DSC data. The results revealed that very small amounts of clay (1 wt %) could accelerate the crystallization process, whereas higher clay loadings reduced the rate of crystallization. In addition, the activation energy for the transport of the macromolecular segments to the growing surface was determined by the Kissinger method. The results clearly indicated that the hybrids with small amounts of clay presented lower activation energy than PBT, whereas those with higher clay loadings showed higher activation energy. The MMT content and the crystallization conditions as well as the nature of the matrix itself affected the crystallization behavior of the hybrids. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation of narrowly distributed nanoparticles of poly(n‐butyl methacrylate‐co‐vinyl pyrrolidone) through microemulsion polymerization

Narrowly distributed nanoparticles of poly (n‐butyl methacrylate‐co‐vinyl pyrrolidone) were prepared through microemulsion polymerization with a nonionic surfactant of Tween‐80 as emulsifier (6 wt % of the latex) and n‐butanol as coemulsifier. The polymerizations were initiated with benzoylperoxide (BPO), potassium persulfate (KPS), KPS/ferric sulfate (FeSO₄), and BPO/FeSO₄, respectively, where the initiation in the case of BPO/FeSO₄ took place mainly at the interphase between the oil phase and the reaction media. Namely, this interfacial‐initiated microemulsion polymerization resulted in larger particles with relatively narrower particle size distribution as well as higher limiting monomer conversion but lower polymerization rate compared with the polymerization initiated with KPS/FeSO₄. In this article, the influences of initiation method, monomer ratio, and addition of water‐soluble components on microemulsion polymerization and latex particle size were studied to discuss the mechanism of interfacial‐initiated microemulsion polymerization. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of high polymerization temperature on the microstructure of isotactic polypropylene prepared using heterogeneous ticl4/mgcl2 catalysts

The effects of alkylaluminum and polymerization temperature on propylene polymerization without an external donor in the use of a TiCl₄–MgCl₂–diether(BMMF) catalyst were investigated. The results indicated that with increasing polymerization temperature the concentrations of [mmmm] of heptane‐insoluble poly(propylene) (PP) fraction increased. Crystallization analysis fractionation (CRYSTAF) results showed the fractions of different crystallization temperatures were changed according to various polymerization temperatures. The activity with Et₃Al as cocatalyst at 100°C was much lower than that at 70°C. However, the activity with i‐Bu₃Al at 100°C was as high as that at 70°C. The fraction of high‐crystallization temperature of PPs obtained with i‐Bu₃Al increased with increasing polymerization temperature, which was opposite to that with Et₃Al, thus implying that the copolymerization of propylene with the monomer arising from Et₃Al led to the lower crystallization ability of PPs obtained with Et₃Al. The terminal groups of PP suggested that the chain‐transfer reaction by β‐H abstraction was the main chain‐transfer reaction at 120°C. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and properties of T300 carbon fiber‐reinforced thermoplastic polyimide composites

In this study, a series of T300 carbon fiber‐reinforced polyimide (CFRPI) composites were prepared by laminating premolding polyimide (PI) films with unidirectional carbon fiber (CF) layers. On the basis of PI systems design, the effect of CF volume fraction, processing conditions, and PI molecular structure on the properties of CFRPI composites was studied in detail. In addition, two kinds of nano‐particles, including carbon nano‐tube (CNT) and SiO₂ were filled into the premolding PI films with different concentrations. And the effect of nano‐particles on the properties of CFRPI composites was also investigated. The surface characteristic of T300 CF was measured by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The properties of premolding PI film and CFRPI composites were measured by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMTA), SANS testing machine, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and so forth. These experimental results showed that the properties of CFRPI composites were mainly affected by the premolding PI film and molding condition. The change of CF volume fraction from 55% to 65% took little effect on the mechanical properties of CFRPI composites. In addition, the incorporation of nano‐particle SiO₂ could further improve the properties of CFRPI composites, but CNT hardly improved the properties of CFRPI composites. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Numerical simulation on the rheo-diecasting of the semi-solid A356 aluminum alloy

The effect of injection pressure, piston velocity, and the forming temperature of semisolid slurry on the filling behavior of the semi-solid A356 aluminum alloy was investigated by simulation methods. The simulation results show that these processing parameters have an important effect on the filling behavior of the semi-solid A356 aluminum alloy.
