The presence of fulvic acid is expected tobind metal ions through bridging before co-precipitation and mineralization. The extent of binding is determined according to thepH of the process. This influences the mineralization of the resulting cobalt ferrite and the crystallization/ordering of its lattice. Inaddition, the extent of residual ferric oxide is also a function of the efficiency of binding process. This route of modification for the coprecipitationprocess was found to be accompanied by enhanced surface area and total pore volume for most of the prepared samples.The involvement of these oxides as catalysts in the photo-catalytic degradation of phenol from wastewater was found to contributevery efficiently and the removal reached about 88% in some cases, which can be attributed to olation and oxolation process of theformed nanoparticles.展开更多

文摘Polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)-based films containing Chinese bayberry tannin(BT)were prepared by cross-linking using glyoxal,glutaraldehyde and dialdehyde starch,individually.The presence of cross-linkers was evident to promote the transparency and decrease the moisture content of PVA/BT films,while the water solubility stayed almost unchanged in the cross-linked PVA/BTfilms.All cross-linkers provided promotion of the water vapor per-meability,mechanical property and thermal stability of PVA/BT films.The best water vapor barrier capacity was found in case of glutaraldehyde cross-linked PVA/BT film,while the highest tensile strength was encountered in case of glyoxal cross-linked PVA/BT films,compared with the uncross-linked films.The scavenging action of the films towards DPPH radical activity was influenced by the nature of each cross-linker.Namely,the PVA/AT film cross-linked by glutaraldehyde acquired the lowest radical scavenging activity in a certain time,suggesting that glutaraldehyde decreased the release rate of BT from PVA.Based on the experimental data,glutaraldehyde and dialdehyde starch could be more suitable for PVA/BT film preparation since they can promote the intermo-lecular interaction of PVA and BT to a reasonable extent.

文摘A cellular material in the form of 3-layered sandwich structure material was prepared via sole use of mechanical stirring without any use of a foaming agent,while Tween-80 was employed as a foam stabilizer via a developed in-situ mold casting.The resulting structure displayed a good appearance with no visual defects.The 3-layered composition of the sandwish structure,“nonporous resin layer-porous foam layer-nonporous resin layer”,was examined in terms of the microstructure,density&density distribution,pulverization ratio,mechanical strength,insulation and flame retardant performance.It was indicated from the results that the bonding between the resin layer and foam layer was tight,while the tensile rupture always occurred in the porous layer.Also,the density of the sandwich structure material was symmetrical with“saddle”distribution,and a uniform density for any given layer.The increase in the density at the interface layer provided a good interpretation for the tensile rupture never occurred at the interface.The brittleness resistance of the developed material was significantly improved,and the pulverization ratio was sharply decreased from 9.93%to 0.31%.The material acquired a thermal conductivity and limiting oxygen index(LOI)of 0.0241 W/m⋅K and 29.92%,respectively,indicating potential use of such materials broadly in fields of insulation and flame retardancy.

文摘Simple bio-based abrasive grinding wheel based on thermosetting resin matrix was developed starting with condensed tannin and furfuryl alcohol,which are mainly derived from forest and agricultural products like tree barks,wheat and crops.Fourier transform infrared spectra(FTIR)signified the acidic conditions are quiet efficient for the reaction of furfuryl alcohol,urea and glyoxal all together and the-CH_(2)-NH-and-CH_(2)-O-CH(OH)-groups are predominating in cross-linking of the tannin-furfuryl alcohol-urea-glyoxal(TFUG)resin.The strengthening contribution of the tannin was also confirmed by the preservation of its distinct crystallinity using X-ray diffraction(XRD).Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)and thermogravimetric analysis(TGA)ensured that TFUG resin can be cured at low temperature and offer higher heat resistance compared with phenol-formaldehyde(PF)resin.The high hardness and excellent compressive strength revealed by the corresponding investigations such as Brinell hardness,compression resistance,and grinding tests suggested a strong abrasive ability using the new grinding wheel compared with lab-made grinding wheel based on PF resin.This could be ascribed to the absence of cracks and low content of formed holes as confirmed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and balanced reaction conditions that leads to network structure with regular local reinforcements and homogeneous crosslink density.

文摘Cobalt ferrite was prepared by co-precipitation from cobalt and iron soluble precursors in presence of fulvic acid at different pHvalues, namely, 6 and 8 and compared with the same preparation in absence of fulvic acid. The presence of fulvic acid is expected tobind metal ions through bridging before co-precipitation and mineralization. The extent of binding is determined according to thepH of the process. This influences the mineralization of the resulting cobalt ferrite and the crystallization/ordering of its lattice. Inaddition, the extent of residual ferric oxide is also a function of the efficiency of binding process. This route of modification for the coprecipitationprocess was found to be accompanied by enhanced surface area and total pore volume for most of the prepared samples.The involvement of these oxides as catalysts in the photo-catalytic degradation of phenol from wastewater was found to contributevery efficiently and the removal reached about 88% in some cases, which can be attributed to olation and oxolation process of theformed nanoparticles.

文摘Melamine-urea-formaldehyde(MUF)resin is an excellent adhesive in the field of wood adhe-sives,however the competition mechanism is questionable which affects the structure control and performance optimization of the resin.In this study,the competitive resin synthesis poly-condensation reaction of MUF system under alkaline condition was studied based on the model compound 1,3-dihydroxymethyl urea(UF_(2))and melamine(M)system,and the competitive reac-tion mechanism in the system was deduced by^(13)C NMR quantitative analysis.The results show that the energy barrier of hydroxymethylation of melamine is lower than that of urea,and the priority of hydroxymethylation is lower;the addition of melamine results in a large amount of hy-drolysis of UF_(2),and the formed free formaldehyde,resulting in hydroxymethylation of melamine;there is obvious polycondensation reaction in UF_(2)+M system,mainly from the relationship be-tween hydroxymethylurea and melamine or hydroxymethylmelamine.The type I bridge bond structure of polycondensation mainly comes from the reaction of UF_(2) and M,which is difficult to form the type II bridge bond.At low molar ratio,the formation of bridge bond is superior to that of ether bond.With the increase of molar ratio,the formation of ether bond shows advantages,but there is obvious competition between them.There may be competitive presence of the UF self-condensation products,melamine-formaldehyde(MF)self-condensation products and MUF co-condensed products after the polycondensation reaction.
