AbstractMicrocapsules containing a glycidyl ester-type epoxy resin were successfully synthesized by in situ polymerization, with poly(melamine-urea-formaldehyde) as the shell material and diglycidyl 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DGCHD) as the core substance. Scanning electron microscopy was performed to investigate the surface morphology and shell wall thickness of the microcapsule. The fabrication, diameters and thermal decomposition behavior of the resultant microcapsules were studied by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, laser particle size analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. Results indicated that the highest loading of DGCHD in the as-prepared microcapsules was about 89.1 wt.% and that the mean diameter of the capsules was in the range of 50–130 μm, which can be adjusted by changing the feeding mass ratio of the core/shell material and emulsifying rate, respectively. TGA results showed that the microencapsulated DGCHD degraded in two distinguishable stages.

In order to self-repair the cracks of waterborne coatings on Basswood at room temperature, with fluororesin and waterborne coatings embedded in the shell structure of urea formaldehyde (UF) resin, the microcapsules were fabricated via in-situ polymerization, and the effect of microcapsules on the chroma, gloss, mechanics and repair effect for waterborne coatings on wood was discussed. The results indicated that the coating effect was the most significant when the ratio value of the core materials to the shell material of microcapsules in mass was 0.75, and the agglomeration of particles was the least and the surface was the smoothest when the content of microcapsules was 1.0%. It was negative between the gloss of the film and microcapsule content. The ratio value of the core materials to the shell material in mass and the amount of microcapsules had great influence on the film hardness and adhesion, but had little effect on the impact resistance. When the ratio value of the core materials to the shell material of microcapsules in mass was 0.65 and the addition amount was 4.0–10.0%, the aging resistance of the film was improved most significantly. When the ratio value of the core materials to the shell material of microcapsules in mass was 0.65 and the addition amount was 7.0%, the overall properties of topcoat film on Basswood board was the most significant. It is for the application of fluororesin microcapsules possessing self-repairing effect in waterborne coating on Basswood board that a technical groundwork is provided by this study.

Hexadecane microcapsule phase change materials were prepared by the in-situ polymerization method using hexadecane as core materials, urea-formaldehyde resin and urea-formaldehyde resin modified with melamine as shell materials respectively. Effect of melamine on the properties of microcapsules was studied by FTIR, biomicroscopy (UBM), TGA and HPLC. The influences of system concentration, agitation speed and mass ratio of wall to core were also investigated. The results indicated that hexadecane was successfully coated by the two types of shell materials. The addition of melamine into the urea-formaldehyde resin microcapsule reduced microcapsule particle size and microencapsulation efficiency. The influences of factors such as system concentration, agitation speed and mass ratio of wall to core to different wall materials microcapsules presented different variety trends of the microcapsule particle size.

An ammonia loading rate of 4.1 kg N-NH4+/m3d was fully oxidized to nitrate using a nitrifying airlift without biomass carrier. The developed sludge, with a concentration of 12 gVSS/L and high density (100 gVSS/Lparticle), allowed particles to be retained with small diameter, having very low concentrations of solids in the effluent (5–10 mg VSS/L). The mean diameter of particles containing the majority of total biomass increased from 220 to 360 m during the operation time. The particle size analysis showed that the percentage of flocs with small diameter (1–3 m) is very high but the biomass content of these flocs is negligible with respect to the total biomass value. The oxygen transfer coefficient (KLa) was measured operating at different air flow rates, obtaining similar values during the overall operational period. The use of activated sludge without support gives high nitrifying rates with an easier fluidization and a lowercritical air flow rate than in a biofilm airlift reactor.

Microcapsules were prepared by in situ polymerization with urea formaldehyde resin as the wall material and Dulux waterborne acrylic acid as the core material. The effects of the core–wall ratio, water bath temperature and depositing time on the morphology, particle size, yield and encapsulation ratio of microcapsules were investigated by orthogonal experiment of three factors and two levels. The results showed that the core–wall ratio had the greatest influence on the performance of microcapsules. When the core–wall ratio was 0.58:1, the water bath temperature was 70 °C, and the depositing time was 5 d, the microcapsule performance was the best. With the increase in depositing time, the yield of microcapsule particles increased gradually, and the microcapsules appeared to show an adhesive phenomenon. However, the long-term depositing time did not lead to complete deposition and agglomeration of microcapsules. When 10.0% concentration of the waterborne acrylic microcapsules with 0.58:1 of core–wall ratio was added to the coatings, the mechanical and optical properties of the coatings did not decrease significantly, but the elongation at break increased significantly. Therefore, this study offers a new prospect for using waterborne acrylic microcapsules to improve the toughness of waterborne paint film which can be cured at room temperature on a wood surface.

Abstract. A denitrification bed is a system that can reduce the nitrate concentration in subsurface drainage water. There is a need to investigate the carbon quality of old woodchips to gain a better understanding of the effect of age on woodchip properties. The objectives of this study were to characterize the carbon quality and carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio of aged woodchips and to examine the suitability of a denitrification bed for a replicated experiment. To achieve these goals, we excavated four-year-old woodchips along the length of a 106.4 m long denitrification bed near Willmar, Minnesota, and analyzed them for particle size, C/N ratio, and carbon quality. Particle size analysis showed similarities from 12.5 to 106.4 m along the bed. We found a mean C/N ratio ranging from 58.4 ±3.17 to 153.4 ±9.57 (smallest at the inlet). The mean lignocellulose index (LCI, a measure of carbon quality) of the four-year-old woodchips ranged from 0.47 to 0.57 (highest at the inlet). The woodchip particle sizes, C/N ratios, and LCI from 25.9 to 106.4 m along the bed length were similar. In conclusion, the C/N ratio and LCI of the four-year-old woodchips showed effects of decomposition and increased woodchip carbon recalcitrance over time, respectively. Keywords: Denitrifying bioreactor, Tile drainage, Water quality, Woodchip bioreactor.

We prepared the polyaniline@polypyrrole (PAn@PPy) conductive composite by a novel method. The struction like Pre-prepared PAn as the core and PPy as the shell for the composite has been prepared by in-situ polymerization. The PAn@PPy conductive composite presents an electrical conductivity of 12.5 S/cm, which is much higher than pure PAn. The synthesized polymer composites are characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The results indicated that PPy successfully grafted on PAn and the heat resistance of nanocomposite is remarkably increased.
