      Abstract:A kind of steady polyaniline (PANI) emulsion was prepared in this paper by chemical oxidative polymerization with SDS as emulsi?er and dopant. The phosphate-fluorocarbon acrylate (P-FAc) emulsion was also prepared. And the composite emulsion coatings of PANI/P-FAc was obtained by adding different proportions of PANI emulsion into P-FAc emulsion. The chemical structure of PANI and P-FAc were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The contact angle, adhesion, potentiodynamic polarization curves, open circuit potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to assess the anticorrosion properties of the PANI/P-FAc coatings for Q235 steel. The surface morphology of Q235 steel which removed PANI/P-FAc coating were observed by scanning electron microscope. The results showed that the coating has the best anticorrosion properties when the proportion of P-FA emulsion and PANI emulsion was 1:1. The corrosion current density was only 1.09?0-6 A/cm2, the equilibrium potential was -0.55V, and the impedance modulus reached 104.3Ω.

The adsorption mechanism of SAH was studied by the characterization of SEM、FTIR、XPS. It was found that the SAH with macroporous structure could adsorb Pb2 mainly by the formation of a complex with bidentate structures. The SAH with a maximum adsorption capacity of 561 mg/g could be reused. Furthermore, the adsorption of SAH to Pb2 was accurately described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the initial concentration-dependent adsorption isotherm suggested a Langmuir isotherm model.

      Abstract:Abstract:Polyurethane prepolymer (PU) was prepared via the acetone process using isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), polybutylene adipate (CMA-1044), 1,4-butanediol (BDO) and dimethylolpropionic acid (DMPA) as raw materials. Hyperbranched polyurethane (HBPU) was synthesized through modification of PU by hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polymer. Then, novel fluoroalkyl-terminated hyperbranched polyurethane (HBPUF) was prepared by the grafting reaction of perfluorohexyl ethyl alcohol and HBPU. Finally, HBPUF emulsion was obtained by neutralization, adding water, and high-speed stirring operations. Infrared spectrum (IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), nano particle size, thermogravimetry analyzer (TGA), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and static contact angle analyzer were utilized to characterize structure of the resultants, particle morphology and average size, thermal stability, chemical compositions as well as hydrophobicity of the latex film. Results showed that fluorinated monoalcohol was successfully linked to the HBPU end to form HBPUF. HBPUF latex possessed the core-shell particle structure and the favorable stability. Thermal stability of HBPUF film was enhanced by comparison with PU and HBPU films. The fluoroalkyl groups had the tendency to enrich at the film-air interface by XPS, which engendered water contact angle on HBPUF film increase from 77.8?on PU film to 113.9?and water absorption of HBPUF film reduce from 136.2% of PU film to 11.1%. Hydrophobicity of the HBPUF film was accordingly improved.

      Abstract:A series of branched polymer surfactant (PSA) was prepared by using hydrogen silicone oil (PHMS), allyl polyether(FB1000) and different content of eighteen acrylic ester(SA) as raw materials. The structure and the solution property of polymer was characterized and investigated by infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR), gel permeation chromatography(GPC), surface tension, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and fluorescence spectroscopy (FLD). With the increase of SA content, it is easier for polymer to associate and aggregate together to form micelles, the particle size increased from 71.40nm to 141.07nm and the dispersion coefficient increased to 0.396. Moreover, the surface tension of polymer solution reduced to 24.20mN/m, and critical micelle concentration (cmc) decreased to 0.49g/L as increasing the content of hydrophobic groups. The fluorescence spectra showed that hydrophobic microdomain was formed with an increase in the PSA concentration, and the first and third emission peak ratio gradually decreased. Pyrene molecules dissolved into the micelles and I1/I3 value kept almost invariable when the PSA concentration was greater than the critical aggregation concentration (cac). The demulsification experiments demonstrated that the dewatering ratio of PSA demulsifier is up to 93%.

      Abstract:Abstract:A hydrophobically associating polymer HAWP-18 was synthesized by using a functional hydrophobic monomer, acrylamide (AM), acrylic acid (AA) and 2-Acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) as raw materials. Properties of shearing resistance, viscoelasticity and thixotropy of hydrophobic associating polymer HAWP-18 was investigated by using rheometer. The results show that HAWP-18 solutions were pseudoplastic fluid and exhibited stronger shearing resistance, and the critical associating concentration of HAWP-18 solution was 2.31g/L. According to the viscoelasticity results, HAWP-18 is a typical viscoelastic structure fluid and has a relatively wide linear viscoelastic region. The value of storage modulus (G') is larger than loss modulus (G''). The higher the viscosity was, the stronger the elastic characteristic of HAWP-18 was. The variation of shear stress with shear rate was also discussed by using steady-state shear test of HAWP-18 with different mass concentrations. It was shown that HAWP-18 had thixotropy property. With the increment of the mass concentration, the thixotropy property enhanced. The drag reduction property of HAWP-18 solutions with different mass concentrations was tested by using homemade friction tester. The drag reduction test showed that the drag reduction rate of HAWP-18 increased at first and decreased latter with the increment of the HAWP-18. The shearing resistance, good viscoelasticity, thixotropy, and drag reduction of HAWP-18 provide experimental support for its application in fracturing fluids.

      Abstract (791) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Two “D-π-A” type coumarin photosensitizers were synthesized with 7-diarylamino coumarin as the donor, dithiophene or phenylthiophene as the π-bridge, and cyanoacetic acid as the acceptor. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and HRMS and their UV-vis absorption spectra and fluorescence emission spectra were measured. The geometric structures of these dyes were optimized using density functional theory (DFT) in conjunction with the d-polarized 6-31G(d) basis set. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) was further used to calculate the absorption spectra and the emission spectra and the structure-property relationship was analyzed. The results showed that 7-difluorenylamino coumarin photosensitizers exhibited relatively smaller energy gap at the ground state (2.31 eV and 2.49 eV) than 7-diphenylamino coumarin photosensitizers (2.49 eV and 2.62 eV) and their energy gap of the excited state was also reduced by 0.52 eV and 0.42 eV respectively. Compared with photosensitizers with phenylthiophene π-bridge, photosensitizers with dithiophene π-bridge had better molecular planarity and their maximum absorption wavelength was shifted bathochromically by 19 nm and 4 nm respectively and the maximum emission wavelength was shifted bathochromically by 16 nm and 9 nm respectively.

      Abstract (926) HTML (0) PDF 0.00 Byte (0) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Halloysite nanotubes(HNTs)/waterborne epoxy resin composite material was prepared through ultrasonic dispersion and mechanical blending. The morphology of HNTs and composites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). It was found that HNTs displayed as nanotubes with hollow structure. HNTs were able to disperse uniformly in composites when HNTs content was lower than 2%. The fracture characteristic of film transferred from brittle fracture to ductile fracture. However, aggregation took place when the HNTs content was greater than 5%. Effects of HNTs content on the rheology, thermal stability and film performance of waterborne epoxy system were systematically investigated. The results showed that the thermal stability of composites was enhanced with the HNTs addition, The viscosity and storage modulus were increased with appropriate amount of HNTs, and the loss factor decreased. It suggested that the HNTs can functionalized as crosslinking points in composites and thereby improve the composite stability, and the optimum content was 2%. In addition, the water resistance of composite was enhanced, as well as the hardness and flexibility of film. However, excessive HNTs would destroy the crosslinking structure and be unfavorable to the stability and comprehensive properties of composite films.

      Abstract:In this study, different contents of corn stover lignin were used to blend with epoxy resin at 100 oC to modify the epoxy resin. The effect of content of lignin on the properties of the modified epoxy resin was studied by the characterization of the viscosity of modified resin, and the mechanical properties, dynamic mechanical analysis, the thermal stability and the combustion properties for modified resin cured by polyamine. The results show that, with the increase of the content of the lignin, the viscosity of the modified epoxy resin increases, and the bending strength for the cured epoxy resin first increases and then decreases. The impact strength decreases with the increase of the content of lignin. The glass transition temperature for cured epoxy resin increases with increasing the content of lignin, and the thermal stability for modified epoxy resin is also improved. The addition of lignin can improve the flame retardancy of epoxy resin.

      Abstract:In this paper,curcuminoids from the rhizomes of turmeric, including curcumin (CUR), demethoxycurcumin (DMC), and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC), were isolated by selective adsorption using cyclodextrin polymers as adsorbents. Firstly, the apparent formation constants (Kf) for β-CD with three curcuminoids were measured by fluorescence spectroscopy, the values were 28.04, 73.03, and 110.83 L/mol, indicating that the strength of the interactions between β-CD and curcuminoids is BDMC > DMC > CUR. Then, six kinds of cyclodextrin polymers were prepared and HP-β-CDP1 is the best adsorbent for the separation. The adsorption kinetics and isothermal adsorption experiments were carried out by HP-β-CDP1. It was obtained that the adsorption reached equilibrium within about 60 min and the adsorption behavior could well be depicted by Freundlich equations and pseudo-second-order kinetic model.In addition, The separation factors (α) of DMC and CUR (α21), BDMC and DMC (α32), BDMC and CUR (α31), were about 2 ~ 3, 2.4 ~ 4.1, and 5 ~ 11, respectively. Affter the absorption, the content of CUR, DMC, and BDMC were 88.2%, 10%, and 0.4%, respectively. The results show that CUR, DMC, and BDMC can be selectively separated from commercially available curcumin (CACur) with cyclodextrin polymers.
