The aim of this paper is to study the possibility of expanded obsidian and its modified product use for oil sorption, in that tetraethoxisilane (TEOS) has been used as a modifier. The optimal concentration of the modifier was determined by 50 per cent weight of expanded obsidian. The expanded obsidian was previously activated with 0,1 M solution of hydrochloric acid. IR spectrometry was used to characterise structural changes in the modified expanded obsidian samples. To determine water sorption capacity a series of experiments has been carried out. The analysis of obtained experimental data showed that after surface modification of expanded obsidian water capacity is reduced 3 times after the surface modification of EO.

Water sorption tests of Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) carried out under laboratory conditions are presented together with mathematical analyses of the moisture sorption isotherms (MSI’s). Moisture equilibrium data for adsorption and desorption of water from Roselle powder were investigated at near ambient air temperatures in the range of 5 and 35 °C and water activity (Aw) ranging from 0.11 to 0.97. The manometric method has been used for water sorption tests. Models for MSI’s are exponential equations. Coefficients of determination are 0.998 and 0.996 (for adsorption and desorption at 5 °C, respectively), 0.998 and 0.999 (for adsorption and desorption at 20 °C, respectively), and 0.998 and 0.999 (for adsorption and desorption at 35 °C, respectively). The equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of Roselle samples increased with an increase of Aw at a constant temperature both for adsorption and desorption. Adsorption curve equates to desorption curve at higher temperatures of tests carried out. Critical values of EMC of samples tested corresponding to the Aw equal to 0.6 were between 13.401% moisture content wet basis (MC w.b.) and 15.934% MC (w.b.) for moisture adsorption and desorption, respectively. These values are useful for storing conditions optimisation from point of view microorganisms grow and structural changes analyses. Crystal structure changes were observed during adsorption and desorption in the microscope, too. It was found out glass transition in dependence on the water content of samples tested.

Abstract Mechanically stable hydrogels featuring water absorption capacities of up to 75 gH2O ggel -1 can be obtained by cross-linking of activated technical lignins with poly(ethylene) glycol diglycidyl ether under strong alkaline conditions. Fenton oxidation prior to cross-linking by hydrogen peroxide and catalytic amounts of ferrous chloride has been found to be superior to an alkaline H2O2 pre-treatment with respect to gel formation, water sorption, and rheological properties of the resulting oligo(oxyethylene) lignin gels. Purified pine kraft lignin undergoes in the course of Fenton oxidation hydroxylation of both aliphatic and aromatic moieties. This is the main reason for the enhanced cross-linking density obtained after treatment with poly(ethylene) glycol diglycidyl ether. The oxidative changes have been demonstrated by principal component analysis of Curie point pyrograms, wet chemical methods, FT-IR, and 31P NMR spectroscopy. Cleavage of side-chains, radical 5,5′-coupling of phenylpropane units, formation of carbonyl and carboxyl groups, and cleavage of aromatic rings were observed. These structural changes may increase or decrease the water sorption capability of the cross-linked products.

Abstract Relationships between fatigue behavior and nonlinear dynamic viscoelastic properties for the annealed, isothermally crystallized, and oriented high-density polyethylenes (HDPEs) with different molecular aggregation states were intensively discussed. Nonlinear dynamic viscoelasticity under cyclic fatigue was estimated on the basis of nonlinear viscoelastic parameter (NVP) which was defined as the contribution of higher harmonics of Fourier expanded stress signal. Fatigue strength of specimens decreased with an increase in the magnitude of NVP. Thus, NVP can be used as an index of fatigue strength for polymeric solids. Also, higher-order structural changes of specimens by cyclic straining were investigated and it was concluded that the nonlinear dynamic viscoelasticity under cyclic fatigue became dominant with an increase in cyclic straining concentration at the amorphous and/or spherulite or crystallite boundary regions.
