Influence of expandable graphite on fire resistance and water resistance of flame-retardant coatings

Expandable graphite (EG) coating and ammonium polyphosphate-pentaerythritol-melamine (APP-PER-MEL) coating were prepared. Thermal degradation and char formation of the coatings were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetry (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results have shown that the anti-oxidation and fire-resistant properties of expandable graphite coating containing EG with size of 74 μm are better than those of APP-PER-MEL coating. The static immersion test was applied to study water resistance of the coatings, and the fire protection test and mechanical test were used to analyse heat insulation and mechanical properties of coatings before and after water immersion. The fire-resistant and mechanical properties of APP-PER-MEL coating were severely damaged by water immersion, whereas EG coating containing 8.5% EG with size of 74 μm could retain the good fire resistance even after 500 h water immersion.

Biodegradable extruded starch blends

We prepared biodegradable extruded starch blends by first mixing starch with additives and then processing the mixture in an extruder. The mechanical properties, including tensile strength and elongation at break, solubility, biodegradability, rheological properties, molecular weight, and glass‐transition temperature of the extruded blends were studied. Glycerol and urea, to some extent, could both decrease the tensile strength and increase the percentage elongation at break because the former acts as a plasticizer and the latter can break down interactions among starch macromolecules. The extruded starch blends showed thermoplasticity, and their melts behaved as pseudoplastic liquids at a comparatively low shear rate. The biodegradability of the extruded starch was slightly higher than that of native starch. The molecular weight of starch displayed a decreasing tendency after extruding modification. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 88: 627–635, 2003     

Effect of preparation conditions on the properties of a coal-derived activated carbon honeycomb monolith

Activated carbon honeycomb (ACH) monoliths were prepared by extruding of a mixture of bituminous coal and organic additives and subsequent carbonization and steam activation. Preparation parameters that were varied were carbonization temperature and activation time. The carbonization conditions were 500, 650 and 800 °C for 1 h and the steam activation conditions were 850 °C for 2, 4 and 6 h. The monoliths at various states were characterized by SEM, XRD, nitrogen adsorption and compression test. It was found that carbonization temperature has significant effects on pore size distribution and mechanical strength of ACH monoliths. The ACH monoliths prepared from high carbonization temperatures exhibited lower values of the BET surface area and total pore volume and higher value of the mechanical strength than those of the ACH monoliths prepared from low carbonization temperatures. This was attributed to the effect of high temperature carbonization that results in the formation of relatively less defective structures.     

Effect of solution properties on nanofibrous structure of electrospun poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid)

Electrospinning of poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) in chloroform or 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoro‐2‐propanol (HFIP) was investigated, focusing on its solution parameters, to develop nonwoven biodegradable nanofibrous structures for tissue engineering. PLGA nanofibers were obtained by electrospinning of 15 wt % PLGA solution and the resulting average fiber diameters were varied with the range of 270–760 nm, depending on solution property. When small amounts of benzyl triethylammonium chloride (BTEAC) was added to the PLGA/chloroform solution, the average diameter was decreased from 760 to 450 nm and the fibers were densely amounted in a straight shape. In addition, the average fiber diameter (270 nm) of nanofibers electrospun from polar HFIP solvent was much smaller than that (760 nm) of nanofibers electrospun from nonpolar chloroform solvent. Therefore, it could be concluded that conductivity or dielectric constant of the PLGA solution was a major parameter affecting the morphology and diameter of the electrospun PLGA fibers. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Efficient and color pure blue light emitting random copolymer with fluorene and fluorenylstilbene

A blue electroluminescent polymer, random copolymer of fluorenylstilbene and fluorene, was prepared by the nickel catalyzed coupling reaction. The structure and properties of the copolymer were analyzed by various spectroscopic methods. The obtained polymer had good solubility and thermal stability with high T_g. The polymer in thin film emits strong blue luminance (max=468 nm) with narrow bandwidth upon photoexcitation. PL spectrum of the polymer in the film is almost consistent with that of solution one as well as the EL spectrum, indicating that the aggregation and the excimer fluorescence are suppressed by the introduction of fluorenylstilbene comonomer. Moreover, the introduction of fluorenylstilbene comonomer lowered the oxidation potential to lead feasible hole injection, when the compared with poly(fluorene) homopolymer. The ITO/PEDOT/polymer/LiF/Al device showed the maximum brightness of 3500 cd/m² with a turn on voltage of 4.4, the maximum efficiency of 0.878 lm/W and blue emission with CIE chromaticity coordinates of ((x,y)=(0.17, 0.25)).
