The deposition of organosilicone thin films from hexamethyldisiloxane（HMDSO） by using a dual-frequency （50 kHz/33 MHz） atmospheric-pressure micro-plasma jet with an admixture of a small volume of HMDSO and Ar was investigated.The topography was measured by using scanning electron microscopy.The chemical bond and composition of these films were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR） and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The results indicated that the as-deposited film was constituted by silicon,carbon,and oxygen elements,and FTIR suggested the films are organosilicon with the organic component （-CHx） and hydroxyl functional group（-OH） connected to the Si-O-Si backbone.Thin-film hardness was recorded by an MH-5-VM Digital Micro-Hardness Tester.Radio frequency power had a strong impact on film hardness and the hardness increased with increasing power.

Synergistic Activity of Organosilicone to Emamectin Benzoate against Beet Armyworm (Spodoptera exigua Hübner)

Based on determination for surface tension of organosilicone solution and its expansion on the solid surface, the biological activity of 5% emameetin ben- zoate WDG with organosilicone against beet armyworm was determined by spraying method to study their synergistic activity. The results showed that organosilicone significandy reduced surface tension of aqueous solution, and the surface tension was reduced to 26raN/m as the concentration of organosilicone was 0.01%. The organosilicone significantly raised expansion of liquid drops on solid surface, and the expansion diameter of 10 μL 0.01% organosilicone was 34 ram. The indoor toxicity results indicated that when addition dosage of organosilieone was 1% -5%, synergistic activity of 5% emamectin benzoate WDG with organosilicone against beet armyworm was significant, and increase extent of synergistic activity slowed down as organosilieone dosage was higher than 5%. Field experiment showed that the control efficacies of 5% emamectin benzoate WDG ＋5% organosilicone 33 mg/ L against beet armyworm were 81.57% and 82.66% after spraying for 3 and 7 d respectively, which were significandy better than treatments of 5% emamectin benzoate WDG 33 rag/L, 24% metaflumizone SC 96 mg/L, 5% chlorantranilip- role SC 33 mg/L, 20% tlubendiamide WDG 40 mg/L and 15% indoxacarb EC 43 mg/L.

Optimal synthesis of heat-integrated distillation configurations using the two-column superstructure

In the realm of the synthesis of heat-integrated distillation configurations,the conventional approach for exploring more heat integration possibilities typically entails the splitting of a single column into a twocolumn configuration.However,this approach frequently necessitates tedious enumeration procedures,resulting in a considerable computational burden.To surmount this formidable challenge,the present study introduces an innovative remedy:The proposition of a superstructure that encompasses both single-column and multiple two-column configurations.Additionally,a simultaneous optimization algorithm is applied to optimize both the process parameters and heat integration structures of the twocolumn configurations.The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated through a case study focusing on industrial organosilicon separation.The results underscore that the superstructure methodology not only substantially mitigates computational time compared to exhaustive enumeration but also furnishes solutions that exhibit comparable performance.

A novel nano-grade organosilicon polymer:Improving airtightness of compressed air energy storage in hard rock formations

Enhancing cavern sealing is crucial for improving the efficiency of compressed air energy storage(CAES)in hard rock formations.This study introduced a novel approach using a nano-grade organosilicon polymer(NOSP)as a sealant,coupled with an air seepage evaluation model that incorporates Knudsen diffusion.Moreover,the initial coating application methods were outlined,and the advantages of using NOSP compared to other sealing materials,particularly regarding cost and construction techniques,were also examined and discussed.Experimental results indicated a significant reduction in permeability of rock specimens coated with a 7–10μm thick NOSP layer.Specifically,under a 0.5 MPa pulse pressure,the permeability decreased to less than 1 n D,and under a 4 MPa pulse pressure,it ranged between4.5×10^(-6)–5.5×10^(-6)m D,marking a 75%–80%decrease in granite permeability.The sealing efficacy of NOSP surpasses concrete and is comparable to rubber materials.The optimal viscosity for application lies between 95 and 105 KU,and the coating thickness should ideally range from 7 to 10μm,applied to substrates with less than 3%porosity.This study provides new insights into air transport and sealing mechanisms at the pore level,proposing NOSP as a cost-effective and simplified solution for CAES applications.

Polybenzoxazine/organosilicon composites with low dielectric constant and dielectric loss

The evolution of electronic communication technology raises higher requirements for low dielectric constant(low-k)materials.For this,a benzoxazine functional organosilicon(HP-aptes)with dense Si—O—Si crosslinking networks and large sterically hindered tert-butyl groups was prepared by the sol–gel method.Then,a series of polybenzoxazine composites(PPHP)were prepared from intrinsically low dielectric constant bis-functional benzoxazine monomer(P-aptmds)and HP-aptes.The double crosslinking networks of polybenzoxazine and organosilicon further increased the crosslinking density and decreased the dipole density of composites,which endowed the composites with enhanced low-k properties.When the content of HP-aptes is 30%(mass),the crosslinking density was 2.05×10^(-3)mol·cm^(-3),while that of PP-aptmds was 3.31×10^(-3)mol·cm^(-3).In addition,the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of PPHP composite at 1 MHz could reach 2.61 and 0.0056,respectively.

Flotation of low-grade bauxite using organosilicon cationic collector and starch depressant

The flotation of diaspore and three kinds of silicate minerals, including kaolinite, illite and pyrophyllite, using an organosilicon cationic surfactant (TAS101) as collector and starch as depressant was investigated. The results show that both diaspore and aluminosilicate minerals float readily with organosilicon cationic collector TAS101 at pH values of 4 to 10. Starch has a strong depression effect for diaspore in the alkaline pH region but has little influence on the flotation of aluminosilicate minerals. It is possible to separate diaspore from aluminosilicate minerals using the organosilicon cationic collector and starch depressant. Further studies of bauxite ore flotation were also conducted, and the reverse flotation separation process was adopted. The concentrates with the mass ratio of Al2O3 to SiO2 of 9.58 and Al2O3 recovery of 83.34% are obtained from natural bauxite ore with the mass ratio of Al2O3 to SiO2 of 6.1 at pH value of 11 using the organosilicon cationic collector and starch depressant.

Dependence of Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (DMCPS) Dissociation on Ionized Energy by Using Quadrupole Mass Spectrum

Dependence of decamethylcyclopentasiloxane （DMCPS） organosilicon dissociation on ionized energy in the energy range of 25 eV to 70 eV is investigated by using a quadrupole mass spectrometry. At the ionized energy below 55 eV, the dissociation of DMCPS is dominant. As the ionized energy is above 55 eV, the DMCPS dissociation achieves the maximum cross section, while the fragments from the DMCPS dissociation can further dissociate, which leads to a different ingredient of fragments. At the lower ionized energy of 25 eV, the main fragments are SiOC2H＋, SiCH＋, Si＋, O＋ and CH＋ ions, which shows an important effect on the SiCOH low-k film deposition.

Functionalization of Silica Surface with UV-Active Molecules by Multivalent Organosilicon Spacer

Immobilization of active molecules by attachment onto solid surfaces is a well-established practice in many processes and applications. Silica micro- and nano-particles are attractive candidates as support for active molecules as a result of a combination of desirable properties. The present study deals with grafting of a functional UV active molecule onto silica surfaces via hydrosilylation reactions using multivalent organosilicon spacers. Different types of organosilicon precursors based on dimethylsiloxysilanes containing multiple SiH groups were used as spacers between vinyl-modified silica surface and the benzotriazole UV-absorber (UVA). Firstly, the surface of silica was modified with vinyltrimetoxsisilane coupling agent. The UVA molecules were attached to the silica-vinyl by a two-step procedure involving hydrosilylation reaction. The successful grafting was confirmed by FTIR, TGA and UV-Vis characterization. More than fivefold increase in UVA loading was found for the MH30 multifunctional spacer, which contains approximately 75 SiH groups per molecule, when compared to a four-functional spacer. Furthermore a branched, bulky six-functional spacer is preferred over a linear spacer of the same functionality. UV activity of functionalized silica was studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy, indicating that the immobilization of UVA onto silica surface has not altered its UV absorbance properties.
