The preparation of hydrophobic CaCO3-wood composite through a double-diffusive method using dodecanoic acid as organic substrate is demonstrated. The product was characterized by the contact angle analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The mechanical properties of the product were measured. The results show that the synthesized CaCO3 fills in the wood cell and covers the surface of wood. The CaCO3-wood composite is hydrophobic. The mechanical properties of wood composite have significantly increased.

Amphiphobic vaterite with a size of about 50 nm, was prepared via crystallization of CaCO3with perfluorooctane surfapropyl betaine（DF-921）in methanol by mimicking the process of biomineralization. The products were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and contact angle analysis. The results indicate that the CaCO3powder samples had both hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. The DF-921 used in this research not only controlled the crystal type of the CaCO3particles but also changed the surface properties of the final products.

Organoclay nanoparticles (Cloisite® C10A, Cloisite® C15) and their combination with carbon black (N330) were studied as fillers in chloroprene/natural/butadiene rubber blends to prepare nanocomposites. The effect of filler type and load on the physical mechanical properties of nanocomposites was determined and correlated with its structure, compatibility and cure properties using Fourier Transformed Infrared (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and rheometric analysis. Physical mechanical properties were improved by organoclays at 5–7 phr. Nanocomposites with organoclays exhibited a remarkable increase up to 46% in abrasion resistance. The improvement in properties was attributed to good organoclay dispersion in the rubber matrix and to the compatibility between them and the chloroprene rubber. Carbon black at a 40 phr load was not the optimal concentration to interact with organoclays. The present study confirmed that organoclays can be a reinforcing filler for high performance applications in rubber nanocomposites.

Direct decomposition of NO into N2 and O2 (2NO→N2 + O2) is recognized as the “ideal” reaction for NOx removal because it needs no reductant. It was reported that the spinel Co3O4 is one of the most active single-element oxide catalysts for NO decomposition at higher reaction temperatures, however, activity remains low below 650 °C. The present study aims to investigate new promoters for Co3O4, specifically PdO vs. PtO. Interestingly, the PdO promoter effect on Co3O4 was much greater than the PtO effect, yielding a 4 times higher activity for direct NO decomposition at 650 °C. Also, Co3O4 catalysts with the PdO promoter exhibit higher selectivity to N2 compared to PtO/Co3O4 catalysts. Several characterization measurements, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), H2-temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR), and in situ FT-IR, were performed to understand the effect of PdO vs. PtO on the properties of Co3O4. Structural and surface analysis measurements show that impregnation of PdO on Co3O4 leads to a greater ease of reduction of the catalysts and an increased thermal stability of surface adsorbed NOx species, which contribute to promotion of direct NO decomposition activity. In contrast, rather than remaining solely as a surface species, PtO enters the Co3O4 structure, and it promotes neither redox properties nor NO adsorption properties of Co3O4, resulting in a diminished promotional effect compared to PdO.

ABSTRACT In this study, polyurethane (PU)/organomodified montmorillonite (cloisite®30B) is synthesized via in situ polymerization by reaction of an ether-based prepolymer with the isocyanate end groups and adiamine chain extender (4, 4-methylene-bis(2-chloroaniline)) in the presence of different amounts of nanoparticles dispersed in the prepolymer matrix by an ultrasonic mixer for 1 h. The synthesized polymers are cast on a pretreated carbon steel sheet and cured at 120 °C in an oven. The PU and its composites have been characterized by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and mechanical testing. The XRD analysis of the cured samples containing 1 to 3 wt% cloisite30B showed intercalation segments in the silicate layers and exfoliation for 0.5 wt% nanoparticles. The highest mechanical properties were obtained using the cured exfoliated silicate layer sample. A twofold increase in the ultimate tensile strength and a 2.3 times increase in the adhesion strength were found for 0.5 wt% organoclay/PU as compared with that of pure PU. In addition, the exfoliated structure sample exhibited a 16% reduction in abrasion compared with that of pure PU.

Abstract Polyimide/polyaniline nanofiber composites were prepared by in situ polymerization with various weight percentages of polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), proved the successful preparation of PANI nanofiber composite films. In addition, thermal stability of PI/PANI nanofiber composites was superior relative to PI, having 10 % gravimetric loss in the range of 623 °C to 671 °C and glass transition temperature of 289 °C to 297 °C. Furthermore, the values of the loss tangent tanδ and AC conductivity σAC of the nanocomposite films were notably higher than those of pure polyimide. The addition of 5 wt.% to 15 wt.% PANI nanofiber filler enhanced the activation energy of PI composites from 0.37 eV to 0.34 eV.

Two novel hypervalent selenium(IV) compounds stabilized by intramolecular interactions, namely 6-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-2,3-dioxa-2aλ4-selenacyclopenta[hi]indene, C14H12O2Se, 14, and 5-phenyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-benzo[c][1,2]oxaselenole-7-carbaldehyde, C14H12OSe2, 15, have been synthesized by the reaction of 2-chloro-1-formyl-3-(hydroxymethylene)cyclohexene with in-situ-generated disodium diselenide (Na2Se2). The title compounds were characterized by FT–IR spectroscopy, ESI–MS, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. For 14, there is whole-molecule disorder, with occupancies of 0.605 (10) and 0.395 (10), a double bond between C and Se, and the five-membered selenopentalene rings are coplanar. The packing is stabilized by π–π stacking interactions involving one of the five-membered Se/C/C/C/O rings [centroid–centroid (Cg...Cg) distance = 3.6472 (18) Å and slippage = 1.361 Å], as well as C—H...π interactions involving a C—H group and the phenyl ring. In addition, there are bifurcated C—H...Se,O interactions which link the molecules into ribbons in the c direction. For 15, the C—Se bond lengths are longer than those of 14. The two five-membered rings are coplanar. There are no π–π or C—H...π interactions; however, molecules are linked by C—H...O interactions into centrosymmetric dimers, with graph-set notation R 2 2(16).

AbstractThe AgSnO2NiO composites were prepared by internal oxidation method. The effects of different NiO content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AgSnO2NiO composites were studied. The phase structure and surface morphology of the prepared AgSnO2NiO materials were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Metallographic Microscopy (MM). The results showed that the AgSnO2NiO composites with different NiO content can be obtained by the process of preoxidation of AgSn alloy powder and internal oxidation of ingot containing Ni. The agglomeration phenomenon of Ni in the silver matrix was serious, which led to the agglomeration of in-situ generated NiO particles after internal oxidation. After the multi-pass drawing, the SnO2 particles dispersedly distributed in the AgSnO2NiO composites and the NiO particles gradually dispersed from the agglomerated state of the sintered ingot billet. The hardness of the prepared AgSnO2NiO composites increased slightly with the increase of NiO content. The mechanical properties test showed that the introduction of NiO particles significantly improved the tensile strength and elongation of AgSnO2 materials to a certain degree. Adding proper amount of NiO is beneficial to improve the overall performance of AgSnO2 materials.
