The proposed composition for anti-icing coating of metal structures. The composition contains as the filler used aerosil brand R 972 with a density of 2360 kg / m3, particle size of 16 nm and a specific surface 12000 m2 / kg. Silicone resin SILRES® MSE 100 with a 10% concentration was used as a binder. The degree of hydrophobicity was estimated by the value of the wetting angle. In order to characterize the anti-icing properties of the coatings, we used the static and dynamic (advancing and retreating) wetting angle, as well as wetting hysteresis, for which we measured the angles of leakage, and the angles of drift from. Studies of the dynamics of freezing drops on the surface were performed using a TESTO 875-1 thermal imager. It is shown, that the hysteresis of wetting of the superhydrophobic surface based on the developed composition is 3.7 degrees. The critical angle of rolling drops of water from an inclined surface is determined. In the study of the kinetics of freezing of a drop of water on a metal surface, an uneven distribution of temperature on the surface of a drop of water is observed. The process of freezing drops is multistage. In the initial period, there is a transfer of heat from the surface to a drop of water. This stage is followed by the process of freezing the drop, which is manifested in the movement of the freezing front from the substrate upwards.

Introduction. Anti-icing coatings are used to prevent icing of the building roofs and power transmission line poles. One of the characteristics of anti-icing properties of superhydrophobic surfaces is the delay in the crystallization of drops on such surfaces. A significant delay in the crystallization of water drops on superhydrophobic substrates is noted in the scientific and technical literature. However, it is recorded in a number of papers that the delay time of crystallization on hydrophilic substrates is longer than the corresponding values on superhydrophobic surfaces. In connection with the foregoing, the study of the freezing kinetics of a water drop on a superhydrophobic surface in order to assess its efficiency is a relevant scientific and technical problem. Materials and methods. To evaluate the kinetics of freezing a of water drop on a superhydrophobic surface, the following experiment is conducted. A drop of water is placed on the superhydrophobic surface of the mortar substrate, which is placed in a freezer at a temperature of –18 °C. Studies of the drop freezing dynamics on the surface are performed using a Testo 875-1 thermal imager. To create a superhydrophobic surface, an aerosil R 972 with density ρ = 2360 kg/m3, particle size of 16 nm and specific surface area Ssp = 12 000 m2/kg is used as a filler. A silicone resin SILRES® MSE 100 of 10 % concentration is used as a binder. The obtained solutions are deposited on the mortar substrates. The degree of hydrophobicity is assessed by the magnitude of the wetting angle (θ°). Results. Results of the studies of temperature distribution on the water drop surface indicate that the distribution is uneven. The process of drop freezing is multistage. In the initial period, there is a transfer of heat from the surface into the water drop. This stage is followed by the process of drop freezing which is manifested in the upward movement of the freezing front from the substrate. Conclusions. It is revealed that the temperature distribution on the surface of a water drop is uneven. When freezing, a water drop has a pointed top.

The polymerization kinetics of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) in benzene with butyllithium as the initiator was investigated by the gas chromatographic method. After completion of the initial period of the reaction, its order with respect to the initial concentration of initiator is negative at the concentrations of the latter between 0.01 and 0.25 mol/l, and positive at higher concentrations. A reaction scheme has been suggested with respect to the "cross" association of butyllithium and of the "living" oligoisoprene.

Abstract 1. The vulcanization of rubber in the presence of N,N-diethyl-2-benzothiazolylsulfenamide is characterized by an S-shaped curve for the addition of sulfur with an initial induction period in the reaction. The modulus and number of crosslinks are changed in an analogous manner to the structure of the vulcanizate. 2. The energy of activation of the addition of sulfur in the initial period is equal to 30 kcal per mole as against 14 kcal per mole in the main period. 3. The induction period is increased if the sodium-butadiene rubber is purified from alkali. 4. Molecular oxygen present in the compound being vulcanized decreases the induction period and increases the rate of the addition of the sulfur in the main period. An induction period is not observed when vulcanization is carried out in an atmosphere of pure oxygen. 5. The interaction of N,N-diethyl-2-benzothiazolylsulfenamide with rubber (in the absence of sulfur) at vulcanization temperatures is accompanied by the formation of MBT, diethylamine, and the addition of the elements of the accelerator to the rubber. The kinetics of this process were studied. 6. The interaction of N,N-diethyl-2-benzothiazolyl sulfenamide with rubber leads to the formation of chemical crosslinks between the molecules of rubber (the effect of vulcanization). 7. The change of N,N-diethyl-2-benzothiazolyl sulfenamide under the conditions of normal sulfur vulcanization has the same character as in the interaction of it with rubber. The kinetics of the formation of MBT have a maximum which coincides with the maximum rate of the addition of sulfur to the rubber. 8. A mechanism is presented for the vulcanization and acceleration actions of N,N-diethyl-2-benzothiazolyl sulfenamide which provides for the extraction of hydrogen by the accelerator radicals from the molecular chains of the rubber with the formation of MBT, diethylamine and polymer radicals which are able to interact with the sulfur.

Abstract. There are not many studies that report water movement in freezing peat. Soil column studies under controlled laboratory settings can help isolate and understand the effects of different factors controlling freezing of the active layer in organic covered permafrost terrain. In this study, four peat Mesocosms were subjected to temperature gradients by bringing the Mesocosm tops in contact with sub-zero air temperature while maintaining a continuously frozen layer at the bottom (proxy permafrost). Soil water movement towards the freezing front (from warmer to colder regions) was inferred from soil freezing curves, liquid water content time series and from the total water content of frozen core samples collected at the end of freezing cycle. A substantial amount of water, enough to raise the upper surface of frozen saturated soil within 15 cm of the soil surface at the end of freezing period appeared to have moved upwards during freezing. Diffusion under moisture gradients and effects of temperature on soil matric potential, at least in the initial period, appear to drive such movement as seen from analysis of freezing curves. Freezing front (separation front between soil zones containing and free of ice) propagation is controlled by latent heat for a long time during freezing. A simple conceptual model describing freezing of an organic active layer initially resembling a variable moisture landscape is proposed based upon the results of this study. The results of this study will help in understanding, and ultimately forecasting, the hydrologic response of wetland-dominated terrain underlain by discontinuous permafrost.
