Benzoxazine resin exhibits excellent properties and is widely used in many fields. Herein, the synthesis of a novel compound, the bis(2,4-dihydro-2 H-3-(4- N-maleimido)phenyl-1,3-benzoxazinyl)biphenyl (BMIPBB), has been reported, which was synthesized by reacting N-(4-aminophenyl)maleimide (APMI), formaldehyde, and 4,4’-dihydroxybiphenyl. 1,3,5-three(4-(maleimido)phenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TMIPT) was formed as an intermediate during the reaction. The proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) and Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy experiments were conducted to determine the structure of BMIPBB. BMIPBB was obtained as a reddish-brown solid in 40.1% yield. The thermal properties of BMIPBB were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. Analysis of the DSC curves revealed that the broad peak representing the release of curing reaction heat appeared in the temperature range of 140–330°C. The peak temperature was 242.59°C and the heat of the reaction was 393.82 J/g, indicating that the rate of the curing reaction was low and the heat of the reaction was high. Analysis of the TGA results revealed that the weight loss rate was 5% at 110°C. The monomer exhibited a significant weight loss in the range of 320–500°C. The compound lost 50% of its weight at a temperature of 427°C.

Kombucha is sweetened, slightly alcoholic, and lightly effervescent tea drink. Its acidity inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. Here, we studied effect of kombucha on post-harvest preservation of pear. The Hosui pears were soaked with the kombucha for 15 minutes, and in distilled water as the control, respectively. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), proline content, electric conductivity, weight loss rate and good fruit rate in pear were measured during storage at room temperature. The results showed that the kombucha could effectively prolong the storage time of pear fruit. The fruit quality of the treated group was 1.5 times higher than that of the control pear fruit when stored at room temperature for 18 days. The weight loss rate, MDA content and electric conductivity of the treatment group were lower than those of the control group during the whole storage period, indicating that kombucha can inhibit the transformation of polysaccharides such as starch and pectin, and delay the degradation of nutrients in the fruit, resulting in a decrease in weight loss rate, inhibition of membrane lipid peroxidation, reducing MDA content, electric conductivity, maintaining cell membrane stability, delaying pear fruit senescence. Kombucha can inhibit the content of H2O2 and proline, increase the activity of POD and SOD increase the storage stability of fruits. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the physiological mechanism of post-harvest preservation of pear by kombucha. The use of kombucha can prolong the supply period of pear, increase economic benefits and expand the market of pear.   ********* In press - Online First.

In order to understand recession behavior and the amount of recession of Lu2Si2O7 in the combustion gas flow, sintered Lu2Si2O7 specimens were manufactured by hot pressing and exposed under various combustion gas flow conditions (T = 1300–1500 °C, P = 0.3 MPa, V = 150 m/s, PH2O = 27–69 kPa, t = 10h). After the exposure tests, etch pits, which are assumed to form due to volatilization of SiO2 in the grain boundary phase, were observed at the surface of specimen. The amount of Lu2SiO5 phase at the surface of specimen increased with the increase of gas temperature or water vapor partial pressure. A corresponding decrease in the amount of Lu2Si2O7 phase was observed. Furthermore, by using the average weight loss rate for exposure times of ten hours, the influence of gas temperature and water vapor partial pressure on weight loss rate was examined, and the amount of recession under gas turbine conditions was calculated.

Abstract In this study, rice husk ash (RHA) silanized with 3-glycidyloxypropyl trimethoxysilane was used as support material to immobilize Candida antarctica lipase B. The developed biocatalyst was then utilized in the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone and in situ development of PCL/Silica nanohybrid. The silanization degree of RHA was determined as 4 % (w) by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Structural investigations and calculation of molecular weights of nanohybrids were realized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). Crystallinity was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used for morphological observations. Accordingly, the PCL composition in the nanohybrid was determined as 4 %, approximately. Short chained amorphous PCL was synthesized with a number average molecular weight of 4400 g/mol and crystallinity degree of 23 %. In regards to these properties, synthesized PCL/RHA composite can find use biomedical applications.

The curing reaction of diallyl orthophthalate(DAOP) resin, which was initiated by dicumyl peroxide(DCP), was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) was used to determine the curing behavior and kinetic parameters of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) / diallyl orthophthalate (DAOP) system. The results clarified that the curing reaction of DAOP resin could be initiated by DCP at 150-180°C and the reaction heat diffused slowly in curing process. The gel-temperature, curing temperature and thermal treatment temperature of the DCP(3%)/DAOP system were 145.46°C, 166.03°C and 173.83°C. The apparent activation energy, frequency factor and reaction order were 130.200kJ/mol, 5.231×1010 and 0.9455, respectively.

Aging mechanism of dam concrete under the action of freeze-thaw damage was analyzed by testing macro and micro performance. The results show that compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths reached 58.4%, 61.3% and 57.8% of the initial values after 150 cycles. Strength is the most sensitive indicator of freeze-thaw damage, followed by weight loss rate, relative dynamic elastic modulus and ultrasonic velocity. After freeze-thaw damage, concrete structure becomes loose, porous amount gradually increased and pore size especially over 25nm expanded. Microcracks not only exist in the hydration products, but also destroy the bubbles structure in air entrained concrete, which is the main cause of freeze-thaw damage.

Sodium compounds, Na2CO3,Na2SO4,NaCl, have been investigated with regard to their catalytic effects on chlorella pyrolysis by thermal analysis experiments. The influence of catalyst categories and dosage on chlorella pyrolysis were studied by the comparison and analysis of the TG(thermogravimetry)and DTG(derivative thermogravimetry) curves derived from tests of differential thermal balance of untreated chlorelal and chlorella mixed with three inorganic compounds of certain scale.The results show that the catalytic effect of the sodium compounds follow Na2CO3>Na2SO4>NaCl, Catalysts of Na2SO4,NaCl decreased the maximum weight loss rates while Na2CO3 increased them. And all the three additives lowered the pyrolysis temperature of chlorella,of which Na2CO3 made the highest conversion of chlorella pyrolysis. As the dosage of carbonate increased, the pyrolysis temperatures decreases and the maximum weight loss rate increases, but the conversion rate of chlorella pyrolysis decreases, considering these two factors, 5%wt is chosen as the optimal dosage of the catalysts.

A nondestructive optical method is described for the quality assessment of mini-Chinese cabbage with nanopackaging during its storage, using Fourier transform-near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy. The sample quality attributes measured included weight loss rate, surface color index, vitamin C content, and firmness. The level of freshness of the mini-Chinese cabbage during storage was divided into three categories. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) and the least squares support vector machine were applied to spectral datasets in order to develop prediction models for each quality attribute. For a comparative analysis of performance, the five preprocessing methods applied were standard normal variable (SNV), first derivative (lst), second derivative (2nd), multiplicative scattering correction (MSC), and auto scale. The SNV-PLSR model exhibited the best prediction performance for weight loss rate (Rp2 = 0.96, RMSEP = 1.432%). The 1st-PLSR model showed the best prediction performance for L* value (Rp2 = 0.89, RMSEP = 3.25 mg/100 g), but also the lowest accuracy for firmness (Rp2 = 0.60, RMSEP = 2.453). The best classification model was able to predict freshness levels with 88.8% accuracy in mini-Chinese cabbage by supported vector classification (SVC). This study illustrates that the spectral profile obtained by FT-NIR spectroscopy could potentially be implemented for integral assessments of the internal and external quality attributes of mini-Chinese cabbage with nanopacking during storage.

Abstract A Si-SiC-MoSi2-ZrB2 antioxidation composite coating was fabricated by laser cladding technology on the graphite matrix surface, and laser ablation was carried out on the coating surface to evaluate the anti-ablation capability of the coating surface. The phase transformation, microstructure reconstruction and the change of binding strength between the coating and the matrix during the laser cladding and ablation were investigated. The coating of Si-SiC-MoSi2 series modified by 40wt% ZrB2 had the lowest weight loss rate and the highest coating bonding strength. The oxide mostly existed in amorphous form after laser cladding, and the semi-melting particles in laser path lap zone on the coating surface disappeared. The oxide layer peeled off and Mo-Zr-Si-O composite glass phase was formed on the coating surface. The internal microstructure of the coating co-existed with non-oriented fine needle-like dendrites and irregular particles, which improved the coating strength. After laser ablation, the coating modified by 40wt% ZrB2 had lower weight loss rate and higher scratch bonding strength compared with the unmodified coating of Si-SiC-MoSi2 series, which indicated that the ablation resistance of the coating was improved by the formation of continuous oxide layer on the surface.
