Abstract:
The effects of temperature on the copolymer micellization in octanol-xylene and on the solubilization of water are examined for poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide)(PE6200) and poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)(25R4) copolymers. The "reverse" critical micelle concentrations(CMC) are determined. An increase in temperature favours the solubilization of copolymers in organic solvent, resulting in an increase of CMC of the copolymers. A linear relationship between ln XCMC and absolute temperature is observed, from which some thermodynamic parameters of the micellization are estimated. The negative ΔGps0 indicates that thermodynamically stable micelles are formed spontaneously by the block copolymers in octanol-xylene. The ΔHps0 and ΔSps0 values are also negative, showing that the formation of micelles in p-xylene is exothermic and entropically unfavorable.

Abstract:
The LaFeO3 and a series of Sr-doped compoundsLa1-xSrxFeO3(x=0.01,0.02,0.03,0.04,0.05) were prepared by a citrate method and the photodegradation of some water-soluble dyes were carried out over them by using a 450 W Hg lamp as irradiation source. The catalytic activities of LaFeO3 and La1-xSrxFeO3 were compared also with IR, UV-Vis and acoustic spectrum measurements. The results revealed that the doped compounds showed a obvious greater catalytic activity than undoped one for dye photodegradation.

Abstract:
Six charge-transfer salts,[NMPH]3PMoxW12-xO40·CH3CN(x=0,1,3,9,11,12) were synthesized from H3PMoxW12-xO40·nH2O and N-methylpyrrolidone and characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectra. The results suggest that there is a strong interaction between anions and organic cations in solid compounds. The charge-transfer in the compounds will take place under irradiation of light and result in oxidation of organic molecules and reduction of anions. The ESR results indicate the one electron step reduction of anions. The second-order and third-order nonlinear optical property measurements indicate that the SHG and the susceptibilities of the charge-transfer salts increase with the increase of tungsten content in molecule.

2000, 17(6): 593-597
[Abstract](318) [FullText HTML] [PDF 200KB](1)
Abstract:
An experimental investigation on syngas preparation from CH4 and CO2 at ambient temperature and pressure in corona plasma has been performed. The conversions of CH4 and CO2 were found to be dependent on the energy density(input energy per mole feed), ratio of CH4 to CO2 in feed and flow rate of feed gases. For n(CH4)/n(CO2)=1/2 at 0.1 MPa and energy density of 1050 kJ/mol(in which temperature was lower than 500 K) the conversions of CH4 and CO2 were more than 60% and 50%, respectively. These experimental values exceed the calculated values based on chemical equilibrium theory. The ratio of H2 to CO in products increased with the increasing of ratio of CH4 to CO2 in feed gases. A radical reacti on mechanism was suggested.

[Abstract](362) [FullText HTML] [PDF 212KB](1)
Abstract:
The effects of concentration, deacetylation degree, molecular weight and pH of medium on the antibacterial activity of chitosan against Esherichia Coli have been investigated. The results showed that the antibacterial activity of chitosan increased with increase in concentration and deacetylation degree and it first increased with increasing molecular weight, reached a maximum at Mw=9.16×10.4 and pH=6.5 and then decreased with further increase in molecular weight. The effects of chitosan on the E.Coli was studied morphologically by confocal laser scanning microscopy and SEM with the results that the E.Coli cells were deformed and autolysed in contact with chitosan samples.

2000, 17(6): 603-606
[Abstract](432) [FullText HTML] [PDF 175KB](1)
Abstract:
The usefulness and characteristics of some methods for in situ monitoring gelation dynamics have been studied, taking glutaraldehyde(Glu) crosslinked chitosan(CS) in acetic acid medium as a model system. It has been shown that the viscosity method is simple and direct. But it is unlikely to monitor the changes occurring after the gelling point of a gelation system. In addition, there is a perturbation to the gelling process from the rotationary viscosity measurements. The electroconductivity and photometric methods monitor the crosslin-king reaction, rather than the rheological changes. Therefore, the results may not be in consistent with that perceived through the senses. Among the methods tested, fluorescence probe method appears the first choice to monitor the gelation dynamics of various gelling systems due to the great number of probes and related fluorescence properties.

[Abstract](377) [FullText HTML] [PDF 186KB](2)
Abstract:
The nanocrystal T-Fe2O3 with an average size of about 30 nm was prepared by a sol-gel method in iron nitrate and 2-methoxyethanol solution. The product was characterized by TEM, XRD and TG-DTA. The results showed that addition of sodium dodecylsulfonate(SDS) into the system favourd the formation of T-Fe2O3 phase and the gelation time was reduced greatly by adding tetrabutyl titanate in solution. By using TESi instead of TBTi, the product is a mixture of spinel V-Fe2O3 and T-Fe2O3, with the former as a main crystal phase.

[Abstract](487) [FullText HTML] [PDF 223KB](1)
Abstract:
The surface property of copper phthalocyanine(CuPC) was modified by plasma-treatment, polymer adsorption and addition of Na2SO4 and urea. The XPS results indicated the formation of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the pigment surface as a result of plasma treatment. The presence of the polar groups increased the adsorbability of polymer. Addition of Na2SO4 and urea in the CuPC system increased the thickness of the adsorbed layer. All these treatment approaches favoured the dispersibility of CuPC in water, enhancing the stability of the pigment suspension.

[Abstract](372) [FullText HTML] [PDF 166KB](1)
Abstract:
Peroxide crosslinking of metallocene syndiotactic polypropylene(sPP) has been performed in the presence of divinyl benzene(DVB), ethyleneglycol dimethylacrylate(EGDMA), trimethylol propane trimethylacrylate(TMPTMA) and triallyl isocyanuate(TAIC) as coagents. The polyfunctional monomers were found to prohibite the thermal degradation of sPP. The crosslinked sPP with higher gel fraction were obtained in the system comprised of BPO and DVB. The gel fraction of the crosslinked sPP increased with increase in BPO and/or DVB. The gelation rate increased linearly with the concentration of DVB and BPO, following first order kinetics. The apparent activation energy of crosslinking was 62.5 kJ/mol as determined from the relations between gelation rate and crosslinking temperature.

2000, 17(6): 636-638
[Abstract](459) [FullText HTML] [PDF 130KB](1)
Abstract:
Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamic ammonium can cause a sensitive incision on the cathodic branch of dE/dt-E oscillogram at -0.80 V(vs.SCE) in 0.1 mol/L KCl solution. When Co2+、Ni2+、Cd2+、Ga3+ and In3+ are present in KCl solution containing pyrrolidine dithiocarbamic ammonium the depth of the incision varies. A linear relationship between the incision depth and concentration of the metal ions is established and the second-order differential simple oscillographic voltammetry is applied to quantitative determination for these ions. The cobalt ion in molecular sieve is also determined with satisfactory results.
