Ultra-high molecular weight polythene (UHMWPE), with outstanding characteristics, is widely applied in modern industry, while it is also severely limited by its inherent shortcomings, which include low hardness, poor wear resistance, and easy wear. Implementation of feasible protection on ultra-high molecular weight polythene to overcome its shortcomings would be of significance. In the present study, amorphous carbon (a-C) film was fabricated on ultra-high molecular weight polythene (UHMWPE) to provide good protection, and the relevant growth mechanism of a-C film was revealed by controlling carbon plasma currents. The results showed the in situ transition layer, in the form of chemical bonds, was formed between the UHMWPE substrate and the a-C film with the introduction of carbon plasma, which provided strong adhesion, and then the a-C film continued epitaxial growth on the in situ transition layer with the treatment of carbon plasma. This in situ growth of a-C film, including the in situ transition layer and the epitaxial growth layer, significantly improved the wetting properties, mechanical properties, and tribological properties of UHMWPE. In particular, good protection by in situ growth a-C film on UHMWPE was achieved during sliding wear.

This paper deals with the catalytic properties of different supported heteropolyacids (HPAs), both molybdenum- and tungsten-based, in the oxidative desulfurization process of diesel. We are jointly developing a new oxidative desulfurization process, aimed at reducing the sulfur content in diesel to less than 10 ppm (parts per million) using in situ produced peroxides. In this new process, high-molecular-weight organosulfur compounds, such as 4,6-dimethyl-dibenzothiophene (DMDBT), difficult to be eliminated by conventional hydrodesulfurization, are oxidized to the corresponding sulfones and subsequently removed by adsorption. Molybdenum-based HPAs, with Keggin structure, proved to be the most active and selective catalysts for oxidizing DMDBT with on-stream lifetimes exceeding 1500 h time on stream (t.o.s.).
