This reaction is an excellent green chemical process without poisonous substance. Various alkali metals were used as the catalysts. The results showed alkali metals had catalytic activity in a certain extent. The effect of reaction condition was also studied. When the reaction was carded out under the following conditions： the reaction temperature 250℃, molar ratio of EC to DMT 3 ： 1, reaction time 3h, and catalyst amount 0.004 （molar ratio to DMT）, the yield of DMC was 68.9%.展开更多

The components of surface oligomers areanalyzed through Thin-Layer Chromatograph. Theresult shows that: all of the treatment, especially solvent vapor treatment,call significantly increase the content of surface cyclic oligomers.The content of cyclic triIner is increased more considerably than other oligomers. Moreover,the morphology and thedistribution of surface cyclic oligomers are also different from different treatments:Dry heat and wet heat cause larger polygonal solids distributed evenly on the surface of fiber;solvent vapor nlakes fiber surface exhibit irregular rodlike crystal shapes randomly;ultrasonic treatment induces some obscureand smaller deposi^on the surface of fiber.展开更多

Field emission scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the blend morphology and the distribution of CNTs. The latter was compared with the thermodynamic predictions through the calculation of wetting coefficients. It was found that CNTs are selectively localized in the polyester phase and conductive blends can be obtained over the whole composition range (20 wt%, 50 wt% and 80 wt% PBT) for CNT-filled PC/PBT blends, while conductive CNT-filled PC/PET blends can only be obtained when PET is the continuous phase (50 wt%, 80 wt% PET). The dramatic difference in the electrical conductivity between the two types of CNT-filled PC/polyester blends at a low polyester content (20 wt%) was explained by the size difference of the dispersed phases on the basis of the transmission electron microscope micrographs.展开更多

In this study, a novel ionic monomer containing sulfonate and benzimidazole was synthesized and incorporated into the main chain of poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET, used as a model thermoplastic polyester) by melt copolymerization. The synergetic effect of ionic aggregation and carbonization endowed the obtained copolyester with high melt viscosity and excellent char-forming ability at high temperatures. The copolyester having a monomer content of 8 mol.% easily achieved the Underwriters Laboratories Inc 94(UL-94) V-0 flammability rating without dripping and the limiting oxygen index value reached 33.0 vol.%.In addition, the total smoke production, peak heat release rate,and maximum CO production decreased by 45.2%, 60.5%, and75.0%, respectively, compared with those of PET. In addition,the copolyester was spinnable, and showed greater adsorption efficiency(99.6%) for a cationic dye from solution compared to PET(6.5%), demonstrating the excellent affinity of the copolyester for the cationic dye. The obtained inherently firesafe PET copolyester has great potential for applications in flame retardant textiles, artwork base materials, and decorative materials for transportation applications.展开更多
