AbstractHeterogeneous amidation of poly(acrylic acid) gel-1,8-diazabicyclo-[5,4,0]-7-undecene salt (DAA) in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone containing an excess of alkylamine and triphenylphosphite occurred from the surface to give the corresponding DAA-poly(N-alkylacrylamide) (PNAA) core-shell type gel, consisting of an unreacted DAA core and a quantitatively amidated shell layer. Further amidation of the DAA-PNAA core-shell type gel with a second alkylamine afforded a novel core-shell type gel consisting of two PNAA layers: PNAA(2) and PNAA(1). The resulting cylindrical PNAA(2)-PNAA(1) core-shell type gels were resistant to marked deformation caused by swelling/de-swelling because of their axial symmetry. This paper proposes a new approach to the preparation of asymmetric thermosensitive PNAA(2)-PNAA(1) double-layer gels by several procedures using the synthetic method of the core-shell type gels containing of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and poly(N-n-propylacrylamide) layers. Among the obtained asymmetric double-layer gels the model I type gel (cylindrical grooved PNNPA-PNIPA core-shell type gel) was markedly bent in water at temperatures between the lower critical solution temperatures of both layers.

AbstractWe investigated the microstructural and magnetic property changes of DyCo, Cu + DyCo, and Al + DyCo diffusion-treated NdFeB sintered magnets. The coercivity of all diffusion treated magnet was increased at 880ºC of 1stpost annealing(PA), by 6.1 kOe in Cu and 7.0 kOe in Al mixed DyCo coated magnets, whereas this increment was found to be relatively low (3.9 kOe) in the magnet coated with DyCo only. The diffusivity and diffusion depth of Dy were increased in those magnets which were treated with Cu or Al mixed DyCo, mainly due to comparatively easy diffusion path provided by Cu and Al because of their solubility with Ndrich grain boundary phase. The formation of Cu/Al-rich grain boundary phase might have enhanced the diffusivity of Dy-atoms. Moreover, relatively a large number of Dy atoms reached into the magnet and mostly segregated at the interface of Nd2Fe14B and grain boundary phases covering Nd2Fe14B grains so that the core-shell type structures were developed. The formation of highly anisotropic (Nd, Dy)2Fe14B phase layer, which acted as the shell in the core-shell type structure so as to prevent the reverse domain movement, was the cause of enhancing the coercivity of diffusion treated NdFeB magnets. Segregation of cobalt in Nd-rich TJP followed by the formation of Co-rich phase was beneficial for the coercivity enhancement, resulting in the stabilization of the metastable c-Nd2O3phase.

ABSTRACTA fundamental study of the Li insertion behavior of a series of materials consisting of a TiO2 core having MoO3 on the surface has been carried out in order to determine the influence of the shell. These TiO2-(MoO3)z materials, where (z) denotes the fraction of coverage from a partial to a double layer, range in diameter from 40-100 Å. Calculations have been done on their theoretical lithium capacity using a maximum of Li0.5TiO2 for the core, and Li1.5MoO3 at the TiO2/MoO3 interface, and they have been compared to that found experimentally. The reversible Li-insertion capacity was shown to increase from 0.34 per Ti for the pure TiO2 sample, to 0.91 Li per transition metal when the MoO3 coverage increased to one monolayer. There was only one plateau observed in the electrochemical scans for the samples showing that they function as a single-phase material making them interesting for electrodes. The redox voltage of the TiO2/Li0.5TiO2 biphasic transformation increased 60 mV from the pure TiO2 to the sample containing one monolayer of MoO3. This effect was interpreted as due to a change in TiO2 surface charge coming from an inductive effect of Ti-O-Mo bonds.

Polymeric microspheres responsive to pH and temperature changes have been prepared by a two-step surfactant-free emulsion polymerization with a polystyrene core and a hydrogel shell. The double sensitivity is achieved by the copolymerization in the shell layer of acrylic acid and N-isopropylacrylamide, which are pH- and thermo-responsive, respectively. Above a certain critical concentration, these microspheres are able to self-assemble into crystalline colloidal arrays, causing intense visible light diffraction. The behavior of these structures has been studied and correlated to the properties of the microspheres. The packing of these microspheres results in stimuli-sensitive colloidal crystals, with a behavior directly linked to the interactions between the particles and the surrounding media.

The core-shell acrylic resin emulsion is prepared by seed polymerization technology, with styrene, methyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile as monomer, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, acrylic acid as shell monomer, and the of nanoTiO2 is introducted in shell emulsion. Infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure of the prepared coating agent. The preparation of TiO2/acrylic resin emulsion for leather finishing agent, and discusses its influence on the leather properties. The results show that the synthetic finishing agents for dyeing after the fatliquoring leather finishing, good finishing effect can be obtained.
