The effect of RE surface treatment on tensile strength and tribological properties of CF reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene （PTFE） composites was invest/gated. Experimental results revealed that RE was superior to air ox/dation in improving the tensile strength, elongation, and the tensile modulus of CF reinforced PTFE （CF/PTFE） composite. Compared to the untreated and air-oxidated CF/PTFE composite, the RE treated composite had the lowest friction coefficient and specific wear rate under a given applied load and reciprocating sliding frequency. The RE treatment effectively improved the interfacial adhesion between CF and PTFE. With strong interfacial coupling, the carbon fibers carried most of the load, and direct contact and adhesion between PTFE and the counterpart were reduced, accordingly the friction and wear properties of the composite were improved.展开更多

The feasibility of formaldehyde carbonylation to synthesize glycolic acid using polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)membrane contactor has been proved in our previous study. In this paper, the effect of membrane microstructure on process performance was further investigated. Three porous PTFE hollow fibers with different pore sizes and one polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)/PTFE composite membrane with dense layer were fabricated for comparison. The physical and chemical properties of four membranes, including chemical composition, morphology, contact angle, liquid entry pressure, thermodynamic analysis and gas permeability, were systemically characterized. Experiments of formaldehyde carbonylation under different reaction conditions were conducted. The results indicated that the yield of glycolic acid increased with decreasing pore size for porous membranes, which was due to the improvement of wetting behavior. The dense layer of PDMS in composite hollow fiber could effectively prevent the solvent from entering membrane pores, thus the membrane exhibited the best performance. At reaction temperature of 120℃ and operation pressure of 3.0 MPa, the yield of glycolic acid was always higher than 90% as the mass ratio of trioxane and phosphotungstic acid increased from 0.2:1 to 0.8:1. The highest turnover frequency was up to 26.37 mol·g^(-1)·h^(-1). This study provided a reference for the understanding and optimization of membrane contactors for the synthesis of glycolic acid using solvent with low surface tension.展开更多

The composition of all the samples was PTFE, SiO2 and chopped E-glass fibers. The effects of content of E-glass fibers on the properties of the SiO2 filled PTFE composites were investigated, including density, water absorption, dielectric properties (εr, tanδ), coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and temperature coefficient of dielectric constant (τε). The compositions of inorganic materials mixture are (62 ? x) % SiO2 + x % E-glass fiber (x: mass ratio to composites, x = 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3). The results show that as the content of E-glass fibers is 2.5 wt.%, this composite obtains optimal properties, including excellent dielectric properties (εr^2.9123, tanδ~0.0011), acceptable water absorption of 0.075%, temperature coefficient of dielectric constant of 10 ppm/?C and coefficient of thermal expansion of 15.87 ppm/?C.展开更多
