强拉伸场诱导PP/TPU复合材料纤维化结构的形成及性能研究

通过熔融共混的方法制备了聚丙烯/聚氨酯(PP/TPU)复合材料,TPU在PP/TPU复合材料中呈现“海-岛”结构分布,导致复合材料具有较低的力学强度。通过施加强拉伸场,PP/TPU复合材料的相对结晶度显著提高,并且随着拉伸比的增加,复合材料的结晶度和取向度逐渐增加;此外,通过在PP/TPU复合材料中增容剂的引入,显著改善了TPU在PP基体中的分散性。在较高拉伸比下,PP/TPU复合材料内部能够形成纤维化结构,使PP材料的拉伸强度从约30 MPa(DR=1)提高到了约320 MPa(DR=8),提高幅度约966%。相比于口模拉伸的纯PP材料,TPU和增容剂的引入能够使口模拉伸的复合材料在具有较高拉伸强度的同时,具有较好地韧性。因此,通过协同调控口模拉伸成型强拉伸场和增容剂,可以获得同时增强增韧的PP复合材料,为PP的改性提供了一种新的方法。

与低水分挤压蛋白组织化程度低,质地与口感差相比,高水分组织化植物蛋白具有类似动物肌肉的纤维状结构和口感,被誉为新一代素肉制品,是动物蛋白理想的替代品。以豌豆分离蛋白(pea protein isolate,PPI)为研究对象,采用双螺杆挤压技术制备高水分组织化蛋白,探究工艺参数(水分含量、蒸煮温度、喂料速度、螺杆转速)对挤出物的宏观与微观结构、质构特性、感官特性的调控作用,同时通过正交试验结合主成分分析优化得到挤出物最接近动物肉的操作参数。研究结果表明:物料水分含量是改善PPI挤出物组织化度和质地的关键因素。水分含量增加提升了PPI挤出物的组织化度、色泽,显著降低产品的硬度、咀嚼性,水分过高(水分质量分数为65%)或者过低(水分质量分数为45%)的样品其纤维化结构较差;蒸煮温度在140~160℃时挤压的产品体现出较高的组织化度和较优的口感、表观和色泽;提高螺杆转速,组织化度先显著降低而后升高;喂料速度增加,挤出物硬度和咀嚼度先显著增加后降低,组织化度先降低后增加。通过正交试验结合主成分分析法,以牛小黄瓜条部位牛肉的质构参数为目标参数得到了优化的操作参数:水分质量分数为55%,蒸煮温度为160℃,螺杆转速为175 r/min,喂料速度为7 g/min。研究结果旨在为高水分组织化植物蛋白品质调控提供技术支撑。

Ultrastructural changes in hepatocytes after taurinetreatment in CCl_4 induced liver injury

AIM: To search the organelle based changes in hepatocytes after taurine treatment in experimental liver fi brosis induced by CCl_4 administration. METHODS: Thirty rats were divided into two groups. Group 1 (n = 15) was injected with CCl_4 plus taurine and Group 2 (n = 15) with CCl_4 plus saline for 12 wk. At the end of 12th wk, mitochondria, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, and nuclei of hepatocytes were evaluated using a scoring system. The results were compared with histopathological f indings, as well. RESULTS: Taurine treatment reduced fi brosis scores signifi cantly as compared to placebo. Organelle injury scores decreased signifi cantly with taurine treatment. Ultrastructural and histopathological scores in both groups were in strong correlation (r = 0.931 for CCl_4 plus taurine and r = 0.899 for CCl_4 plus saline group). CONCLUSION: Organelle based transmission electron microscopy fi ndings can reflect successfully histological results as well as tissue healing in hepatocytes from hepatotoxin-induced liver fi brosis.

Ultrastructure of oval cells in children with chronic hepatitis B,with special emphasis on the stage of liver fibrosis:The first pediatric study

AIM:To investigate the ultrastructure of oval cells in children with chronic hepatitis B,with special emphasis on their location in areas of collagen fibroplasia. METHODS:Morphological investigations were conducted on biopsy material obtained from 40 children,aged 3-16 years with chronic hepatitis B. The stage of fibrosis was assessed histologically using the arbitrary semiquantitative numerical scoring system proposed by Ishak et al. The material for ultrastructural investigation was fixed in glutaraldehyde and paraformaldehyde and processed for transmission-electron microscopic analysis. RESULTS:Ultrastructural examination of biopsy specimens obtained from children with chronic hepatitis B showed the presence of two types of oval cells,the hepatic progenitor cells and intermediate hepatic-like cells. These cells were present in the parenchyma and were seen most commonly in areas of intense periportal fibrosis (at least stage 2 according to Ishak et al) and in the vicinity of the limiting plate of the lobule. The activated nonparenchymal hepatic cells,i.e. transformed hepatic stellate cells and Kupffer cells were seen in close proximity to the intermediate hepatic-like cells. CONCLUSION:We found a distinct relationship between the prevalence of oval cells (hepatic progenitor cells and intermediate hepatocyte-like cells) and fibrosis stage in pediatric patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Effect of nanofibers at surface of carbon fibers on microstructure of carbon/carbon composites during chemical vapor infiltration

Before densification by chemical vapor infiltration,carbon or SiC nanofibers were grown on the surface of carbon fibers by catalytic chemical vapor deposition using electroplated Ni as catalyst.The modification and mechanism of nanofibers on the pyrocarbon deposition during chemical vapor infiltration were investigated.The results show that the nanofibers improve the surface activity of the carbon fibers and become active nucleation centers during chemical vapor infiltration.They can induce the ordered deposition of pyrocarbon and adjust the interface bonding between pyrocarbon and carbon fibers during the infiltration.

Structures of Silk Fibers Grafted with Hexafluorobutyl Methacrylate

The relationship between the graft yield and the effect of hexafiuorobutyl methacrylate graft treatment on the structural changes of the silk fibers was studied on the basis of the results of scanning electron micrograph photographs （SEM）, infrared spectroscopy （IR）, Raman spectrum, wide-angle X-ray diffraction patterns （WAXD）, nuclear magnetic resonance（NMR） and amion acid analysis. The results showed that the crystalline regions of grafted fibers were hardly affected and the fiber fission occurred on the cross sections of grafted fibers. The surface of fibers was covered with a high polymer film. The Raman spectrum showed there was little change in the conformation of grafted fibers which mainly remained β-sheet conformation. The IR of the grafted silk fibers showed new absorption of bands occurred which belonged to the stretching-vibrationabsorption-peak bands of Vo-o and VC-F of aliphatic ester species. The CF3-, -CF2- and -CFH- grafted silk macromodecul were verified in the NMR spectrum. The amion acid analysis indicated fluoride monomers were inclined to graft with TYR, ARG and CLU silk fibers.

Studies on the Crystallization Properties and Morphology Structure of the Cationic Dyeable Polypropylene Fibers

The crystallization properties and morphology structure of the cationic dyeable polypropylene fibers which were produced by the blending spinning method were studied by making use of X-ray and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It comes to the conclusions that the larger the crystallite size in the fibers is , the better the dyeable properties of the fibers are and there is a little compatibility between the dyeable agent and polypropylene resin. And the dye-uptake of the fibers may be up to 90% because the dyeable agent can uniformly be scattered in polypropylene.

STUDIES ON THE CHEMICAL STRUCTURES OFACTIVATED CARBON FIBERS BY SOLID STATE NMR

The solid stale C13-NMR spectra of different ACFs from various precursor fiberswere recorded in this paper. The effects of activation conditions on chemical structuresOf ACFs, as well as the changes of chemical structures during carbonization and redoxreaction were investigated by NMR technique. At same time, the solid state P31-NMRspectra of ACFs are studied The C13-NMR spectra of ACFs can be divided into sixbands that are assigned to methyl and methylene groups, hydroxyl and ether groups,acetal (or methylenedioxy carbon, graphite-like aromatic carbon structure, phenol,and quinone groups, respectively. Only phosphorous pentoxide exists on ACFs andCFs. Moreover, most of them are stuck over the crystal face but not at the edge ofgraphite-like micro-crystaL The carbonization and activation conditions affect theC13-NMR spectra of ACFs. The experimental results indicate that the redox reactionof ACFs with oxidants greatly consumes C-H group.

Electrical resistance stability of high content carbon fiber reinforced cement composite

The influences of curing time, the content of free evaporable water in cement paste, environmental temperature, and alternative heating and cooling on the electrical resistance of high content carbon fiber reinforced cement (CFRC) paste are studied by experiments with specimens of Portland cement 42.5 with 10 mm PAN-based carbon fiber and methylcellulose. Experimental results indicate that the electrical resistance of CFRC increases relatively by 24% within a hydration time of 90 d and almost keeps constant after 14 d, changes hardly with the mass loss of free evaporable water in the concrete dried at 50 °C, increases relatively by 4% when ambient temperature decreases from 15 °C to ?20 °C, and decreases relatively by 13% with temperature increasing by 88 °C. It is suggested that the electric resistance of the CFRC is stable, which is testified by the stable power output obtained by electrifying the CFRC slab with a given voltage. This implies that such kind of high content carbon fiber reinforced cement composite is potentially a desirable electrothermal material for airfield runways and road surfaces deicing.

Study on TEMPO-Mediated Selective Oxidation of Alkaline Natural Cellulose Pulp and Properties of Its Products

It has been reported that natural cellulose （cellulose I） can not be oxidized by TEMPO - NaOCI - NaBr system, one of TEMPO-mediated selective oxidant systems, but regenerated cellulose （cellulose Ⅱ ） can be completely selectively oxidized. In the present work, natural cellulose pulp was treated with NaOH solution, which concentration is lower than 20 wt%. The alkaline celluloses obtained were oxidized by TEMPO - NaOCI - NaBr system and the factors which influence the selective oxidation reaction rate have been investigated. The structure of the oxidized products has been characterized by Fourier transform-infrared （FTIR）, nuclear magenatic resonace （NMR） and wide angle X-ray diffraction （WAXD） methods, and their adsorption properties for Cu^2＋ and Cd^2＋ in aqueous solutions have been preliminarily examined. The results show that after the alkaline treatment, the primary hydroxyl at C6 position of natural cellulose can be selectively oxidized to carboxyl group in the reaction medium at pH 10.8, the oxidation rate becomes greater with the NaOH concentration and alkaline treatment time increasing. The alkaline treatment has a great effect on the crystal structure of natural cellulose, but the crystal structure of alkaline cellulose keeps almost unchanged after oxidation. The adsorption capacity is enhanced by introducing carboxyl groups into the cellulose macromolecular chains.

Structural evolution of chars from biomass components pyrolysis in a xenon lamp radiation reactor

The structural evolution of the chars from pyrolysis of biomass components （cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin） in a xenon lamp radiation reactor was investigated. The elemental composition analysis showed that the C content increased at the expense of H and O contents during the chars formation. The values of AH/C/ZSO/c for the formation of cellulose and hemicellulose chars were close to 2, indicating that dehydration was the dominant reaction. Meanwhile, the value was more than 3 for lignin char formation, suggesting that the occurrence of demethoxylation was prevalent. FTIR and XRD analyses further disclosed that the cellulose pyrolysis needed to break down the stable crystal structure prior to the severe depolymerization. As for hemicellulose and lignin pyrolysis, the weak branches and linkages decomposed firstly, followed by the major decomposition. After the devolatilization at the main pyrolysis stage, the three components encountered a slow carbonization process to form condensed aromatic chars. The SEM results showed that the three components underwent different devolatilization behaviors, which induced various surface mornhologies of the chars.

Isolation, chemical characterization, and immunomodulatory activity of naturally acetylated hemicelluloses from bamboo shavings

Bamboo shavings, the outer or intermediate layer of bamboo stems, are the bulk of by-products produced in bamboo processing. In this study we investigated the isolation, chemical characterization, and immunostimulatory activity in vitro of the hemicelluloses from bamboo shavings. Shavings were first pretreated by steam explosion. The optimal pretreatment was found to be steam explosion at 2.2 MPa for 1 min. Following this pretreatment, the yield of hemicelluloses reached（2.05±0.22）%（based on the dry dewaxed raw materials）, which was 5.7-fold higher than that of untreated samples. Bamboo-shavings hemicellulose（BSH） was then prepared by hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation from the steam-exploded shavings. Purification of BSH by anion-exchange chromatography of diethylaminoethanol（DEAE）-sepharose Fast Flow resulted in a neutral fraction（BSH-1, purity of 95.3%, yield of 1.06%） and an acidic fraction（BSH-2, purity of 92.5%, yield of 0.79%）. The weight-average molecular weights（Mw） of BSH-1 and BSH-2 were 12 800 and 11 300 g/mol, respectively. Chemical and structural analyses by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FT-IR）, 1D（^1H and ^13C） and 2D（heteronuclear single quantum correlation（HSQC）） nuclear magnetic resonance（NMR） spectra revealed that BSH-1 was O-acetylated-arabinoxylan and BSH-2 was O-acetylated-（4-Omethylglucurono）-arabinoxylan. BSH-1 had a higher content of acetyl groups than BSH-2. For the immunomodulatory activity in vitro, BSH and BSH-2 significantly stimulated mouse splenocyte proliferation while BSH-1 had no effect; BSH, BSH-1, and BSH-2 markedly enhanced the phagocytosis activity and nitric oxide production of the murine macrophage RAW264.7 in a dose-dependent manner. Our results suggest that the water-extractable hemicelluloses from steam-exploded bamboo shavings are naturally acetylated and have immunostimulatory activity.

Flexible fabric gas sensors based on PANI/WO3 p−n heterojunction for high performance NH3 detection at room temperature

A PANI/WO3@cotton thread-based flexible sensor that is capable of detecting NH3 at room temperature is developed here.A layer of WO3 with PANI nanoparticles can be deposited by in-situ polymerization.The morphology and structure of the specimens were investigated by utilizing TEM,SEM,XRD and FTIR.The sensing performance of the PANI/WO3@cotton sensors with different WO3 molar ratios to NH3 at room temperature was examined.The results show that the optimal sensor(10 mol%WO3)has a response of 6.0 to 100 ppm NH3,which is significantly higher than that of the sensors based on pristine PANI and other composites.The PANI/WO3@cotton sensor also displays excellent selectivity,gas response,and flexibility even at room temperature.The unique fiber structure,p-n heterojunction,and the increased protonation of PANI in the composites contribute to the enhanced sensing property.

Melamine-assisted synthesis of ultrafine Mo_(2)C/Mo_(2)N@N-doped carbon nanofibers for enhanced alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction activity

Noble metal-free electrocatalysts with high activity are highly desirable for the large-scale application of hydrogen evolution reaction(HER). Mo_(2) C-based nanomaterials have been proved as a promising alternative to noble metal-based electrocatalysts owing to the Pt-resembled d-band density and optimal intermediates-adsorption properties.However, the aggregation and excessive growth of crystals often occur during their high-temperature synthesis procedure, leading to low catalytic utilization. In this study, the ultrafine Mo_(2) C/Mo_(2) N heterostructure with large surface and interface confined in the N-doped carbon nanofibers(NCNFs) was obtained by a melamine-assisted method. The synergistic effect of Mo_(2) C/Mo_(2) N heterostructure and plenty active sites exposed on the surface of ultrafine nanocrystals improves the electrocatalytic activity. Meanwhile, the N-CNFs ensure fast charge transfer and high structural stability during reactions. Moreover, the in-situ synthesis method strengthens the interfacial coupling interactions between Mo_(2)C/Mo_(2) N heterostructure and N-CNFs, further enhancing the electronic conductivity and electrocatalytic activity. Owing to these advantages, Mo_(2)C/Mo_(2) N@N-CNFs exhibit excellent HER performance with a low overpotential of 75 mV at a current density of 10 mV cm^(-2) in alkaline solution, superior to the single-phased Mo_(2)C counterpart and recently reported Mo_(2)C/Mo_(2) N-based catalysts. This study highlights a new effective strategy to design efficient electrocatalysts via integrating heterostructure, nanostructure and carbon modification.

A lightweight carbon nanofiber-based 3D structured matrix with high nitrogen-doping level for lithium metal anodes

Lithium metal is considered to be the most promising anode material for the next-generation rechargeable batteries. However, the uniform and dendrite-free deposition of Li metal anode is hard to achieve, hindering its practical applications. Herein, a lightweight, free-standing and nitrogen-doped carbon nanofiber-based 3D structured conductive matrix(NCNF), which is characterized by a robust and interconnected 3D network with high doping level of 9.5 at%, is prepared by electrospinning as the current collector for Li metal anode. Uniform Li nucleation with reduced polarization and dendrite-free Li deposition are achieved because the NCNF with high nitrogen-doping level and high conductivity provide abundant and homogenous metallic Li nucleation and deposition sites. Excellent cycling stability with high coulombic efficiency are realized. The Li plated NCNF was paired with LiFePO4 to assemble the full battery, also showing high cyclic stability.
