Investigation on Relationship between Lubricating Performance and Stability of Emulsion for Cold Strip Rolling

The influence of the ratio and content of emulsifiers on the stability of anion emulsions for cold strip rolling was investigated in this paper. The present study also investigated the effects of HLB （hydrophile-lipophile balance） value and emulsifier content on the stability of no-ionic emulsions. Based on the effects of different stabilities and different concentrations of emulsions on the adsorptivity and friction coefficients, good lubricating performance was obtained when the amount of the separated oil and soap （SOS） accounted for 2.5%. The wearing scar of the steel balls also indicated the improvements in tribological properties after using the emulsion. Thus, the preparation of emulsion should be regulated according to different rolling conditions.

Effect of magnetic field on property and structure of polyaniline doped with multiple sulfonic acids

Polyaniline(PAn)doped with multiple sulfonic acid system of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid(DBSA)and sulfosalicylic acid(SSA)was synthesized by emulsion polymerization using ammonium persulfate(APS)as an oxidizing agent in the presence and the absence of a constant magnetic field(MF)of 0.8 T.The structure and properties of the PAn were characterized by X-ray diffractometer(XRD),thermogravimetric apparatus(TGA),FT-IR spectroscope(FT-IR)and four probe digital multimeter.The results indicate that,when the molar ratio of DBSA to SSA is 1/3,that of dopant to An is 3/2,that of APS to An is 4/5 in the synthesizing media,and the doping time is 3 h,the conductivity of the PAn synthesized in the presence of the MF of 0.8 T reaches 5.88 S/cm,which is higher than that of the PAn synthesized in the absence of the MF.The thermal stability,the crystallinity and the doping degree of the PAn synthesized in the presence of the MF are also improved.MF not only enhances the conductivity,but also reduces the doping time,the dosage of the dopant and the oxidizing agent when the conductivity reaches the maximum.

Effects of Preparation Parameters on Paraffin Wax Microemulsion

The paraffin wax microemulsion was prepared from fully refined paraffin wax No.58-60 in the presence of a nonionic surfactant and an anionic surfactant.The influence of manufacturing parameters on the particle diameter of paraffin wax microemulsion included the quantity of the emulsifier,the temperature and emulsification time,the stirring speed,the pH value and the auxiliary ingredient(cosurfactant).The test results showed that the temperature of emulsification had little effect on the particle size of paraffin wax microemulsion in a temperature range of 75-85 ℃.Other manufacturing parameters all had a great effect on the particle size of paraffin wax microemulsion.The optimum preparation conditions included:a w(emulsifier) of 6%,an emulsification temperature of 80 ℃,an emulsification time of 40 min,a pH value of about 8,and a stirring speed of 600 r/min,with n-amyl alcohol serving as the co-surfactant.Under these conditions,a translucent and baby blue paraffin wax emulsion was prepared with its particle size equating to 97 nm.

Computational studies of the structure and cation-anion interactions in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium lactate ionic liquid

Quantum chemical calculations of the structures and cation-anion interaction of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium lactate ([Emim][LAC]) ion pair at the B3LYP/6-31++G** theoretical level were performed. The relevant geometrical characteristics, energy properties, intermolecular H-bonds (H-bonds), and calculated IR vibrations with respect to isolated ions were systematically discussed. The natural bond orbital (NBO) and atoms in molecule (AIM) analyses were also employed to understand the nature of the interactions between cation and anion. The five most stable geometries were verified by analyzing the relative energies and interaction energies. It was found that the most of the C-H···O intermolecular H-bonds interactions in five stable conformers have some covalent character in nature. The elongation and red shift in IR spectrum of C-H bonds which involve in H-bonds is proved by electron transfers from the lone pairs of the carbonyl O atom of [LAC] to the C-H antibonding orbital of the [Emim]+. The interaction modes are more favorable when the carbonyl O atoms of [LAC] interact with the C2-H of the imidazolium ring and the C-H of the ethyl group through the formation of triple H-bonds.
