[source] Scanning electron microscopic observation of oil/wax/water/surfactant systemINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COSMETIC SCIENCE, Issue 2 2005K. Ikuta We observed the internal structure of an oil/wax/water/surfactant system using a scanning electron microscope to investigate the relationship between its hardness and state of wax crystal. The molten wax (hydrogenated jojoba oil, ceresin, polyethylene wax, carnauba wax, or microcrystalline wax) was cast in a home-made spiral mold of aluminum foil for preparing the test specimen for SEM observation. In hydrogenated jojoba oil a fine frame-like crystal structure, the so-called ,card-house structure,' was observed but not in other waxes. The mixture of hydrogenated jojoba oil and water showed a few small droplets deposited on the roundish wax frame-like structure. On the other hand, waxes other than hydrogenated jojoba oil did not change their internal structure when they were mixed with water. This result suggested that hydrogenated jojoba oil showed uniquely high affinity for water. In the system of oil, water, surfactant, and various kinds of waxes, their crystal structure, hardness, and the shape of dispersed water particles were remarkably changed with the combination of waxes. In the system with ceresin and carnauba wax, the hardness measured by a card-tension meter was high, and the internal crystal structure was fine and amorphous. The water particle in the ceresin and carnauba wax system had a smaller diameter than that in the system containing hydrogenated jojoba oil. The system containing hydrogenated jojoba oil showed a card house-like wax crystal structure without high hardness. It was considered that the wax crystal structure played an important role in providing hardness and in contributing to the water distribution in the oil/wax/water/surfactant system. [source] Correlated, ab initio electron propagators in the study of molecular wires: Application to a single molecular bridge placed between two model leadsINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY, Issue 15 2007Mark R. Sterling Abstract A correlated, ab initio electron propagator approach is tested for a model system containing 1,4-benzene-dithiolate attached to two gold or two aluminum atoms. Qualitative agreement with available experiment is achieved for the gold dithiolate system. Similar current and conductance curves obtain for both metal leads when the Fermi energy is set to ,1.0 eV. A molecular orbital analysis is given for the gold dithiolate system. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007 [source] Rheological behavior of brominated isobutylene-co-paramethylstyrene: Effect of fillers, oil and blending with EPDMPOLYMER ENGINEERING & SCIENCE, Issue 12 2002Bhuwneesh Kumar The melt flow properties of unfilled and filled brominated isobutylene-co-paramethylstyrene (BIMS) were measured by means of a capillary viscometer at three different temperatures (90°C, 110°C and 130°C) and four different shear rates (61, 122, 245 and 306 s,1). The effect of addition of EPDM rubber on melt flow properties of unfilled BIMS was also studied. Evaluation of the processability was done by measuring the extrudate roughness (ER) of the extrudates obtained from the MPT. The viscosity of the systems decreased with the shear rate, indicating their pseudoplastic or shear thinning nature. As expected, the viscosity of BIMS increased with the addition of fillers and decreased with the addition of oil. For the neat systems, viscosity increased with the addition of EPDM, and the blends showed a positive deviation, indicating interdiffusion of the polymer chains across the phase boundaries. The activation energy of the filled systems at constant filler loading increased with increasing filler surface area (N330 > N550 > N774, each at 30 phr loading), and filler loading (50 > 30 > 10 phr, for N330) and decreased with the addition of oil (2.5 > 5.0 > 7.5 phr, for system containing 30 phr of N330). The silica filled system showed a higher activation energy and ER than the carbon black-filled systems. With addition of N330 and N550 carbon blacks to BIMS, the extrudate roughness (ER) decreased, whereas it increased with the addition of N774 carbon black. With an increase in filler loading, ER initially increased and then decreased as compared to the neat system. For the filled systems, ER initially decreased up to 5 phr of oil, beyond which it increased. [source] Preparation and properties of poly(L -lactic acid) scaffolds by thermally induced phase separation from a ternary polymer,solvent systemPOLYMER INTERNATIONAL, Issue 12 2004Shirong Li Abstract Poly(L -lactic acid) (PLLA) foams for tissue engineering were prepared via thermally induced phase separation of a ternary system PLLA/dioxane/tetrahydrofuran (THF) followed by double solvent exchange (water and ethyl alcohol) and drying. An extension to solidification from solution of a previously developed method for solidification from the melt was adopted. The technique is based on a continuous cooling transformation (CCT) approach, consisting in recording the thermal history experienced by rapidly cooled samples and then analyzing the resulting sample morphology. Different foams were produced by changing the relative amount of dioxane and THF in the starting solution while the amount of polymer was kept constant. Results show that the final morphology and crystallinity (measured by DSC) depend on solvent power, which in its turn was determined by the ratio dioxane/THF, and a minimum of pore size, optimum final crystallinity and crystallization rate were achieved for a system containing 70 % of dioxane. Under this condition, a higher bulk density (evaluated by Hg intrusion porosimetry) and a larger specific surface area (measured by BET N2 sorption technique) was achieved.

The limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL-94 test, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to evaluate the synergistic effects of CDS in the composites. It was found that after a little amount of CDS partially replaced a charring-foaming agent (CFA) in IFR, LOI values of the composites were enhanced and they obtained a UL-94 V-0 rating. IFR system containing 6.25wt% CDS presented the best flame retardancy in PP. The experimental results obtained from LOI and UL-94, TGA, SEM, and mechanical properties indicated that the combination of CDS and CFA presents synergistic effects in flame retardancy, char formation, and mechanical properties of the composites. This is probably due to different structures of polyhydroxyl macromolecules (CDS and CFA), the existence of dimethyl silicone group in CDS, and the toughness of epoxy silicon chain in CDS. SEM results proved that the interfacial compatibility between IFR and PP was improved by CDS. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) adsorption on solid surfaces applied to waste lubricant oils recovery processTHE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, Issue 3 2010José Lima Assunção Filho Abstract Lubricant oils undergo degradation increasing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) concentration. In this work, PAHs adsorption onto activated carbon, powder silica, and powder chitosan surfaces was estimated, with their concentrations in organic solvents (ethanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, and terc -butanol) monitored by UV-visible absorption. Equilibrium concentration was attained after 72,h and the isotherms presented characteristic of multilayer formation. The greater surface density was determined for the chitosan, but the system containing activated carbon and 1-butanol presented better efficiency for PAHs removal. Results indicated that the adsorption evaluated in this work can be a potential stage in the waste lubricant oils global recovery process. Les huiles de lubrification subissent une dégradation augmentant la concentration d'hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques (HAP). Dans ce travail, on a estimé l'adsorption de HAPs sur du carbone activé, de la silice en poudre et des surfaces de chitosane en poudre, leurs concentrations dans des solvants organiques (éthanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol et terc -butanol) étant suivies par absorption UV et dans le domaine visible. Une concentration d'équilibre a été atteinte après 72,h et les isothermes présentaient des caractéristiques de formation de couches multiples. La densité de surface la plus importante a été déterminée pour le chitosane mais le système contenant du carbone activé et du 1-butanol présentait une meilleure efficience en matière de retrait des HAPs. Les résultats indiquaient que l'adsorption évaluée dans ce travail pourrait constituer une étape potentielle du processus global de récupération des résidus d'huiles de lubrification. [source] |
