Preparation of Polystyrenylphosphonous Acid of Low Polymerization Degree and Influence of Initiators upon the Free Radical Reaction Mechanism

The polystyrenylphosphonous acid (PSPA) of low polymerization degree was prepared with one step reaction. The reaction mechanism was changed with different initiators. For the reaction with AIBN or BPO as the initiator, there are 2 or 3 series of radical reaction chains and 5 or 9 series of polystyrenyl products. The main products are PSPA without or with the fragment of the initiator H[CH(C6H5)-CH2]n-PO2H2 and C6H5CO2-[CH2CH (C6H5)]n-PO2H2 respectively.

Relationship between polymerization degree and cementitious activity of iron ore tailings

The aim of this study is to understand the relationship between the polymerization degree and cememitious activity of iron ore tailings. In light of the poor usage of iron ore tailings, stockpile samples from Tangshan were studied in terms of their ability to become cementitious materials. Compound thermal activation was used to improve the cementitious properties of the tailings, while analyzing methods, such as X-ray diffraction （XRD）, infrared spectroscopy （IR）, nuclear magnetic resonance （NMR）, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer （XPS）, were employed to study the changes in phase and structure under different activation conditions. The results reveal clear relationships between the binding energies of Si2p and O 1 s, polymerization degree, and cementitious activity of iron ore tailings.

Variation in Polymerization Degree of C-A-S-H Gels and Its Role in Strength Development of Alkali-activated Slag Binders

To investigate the variation in the degree of polymerization calcium aluminium silicate hydrate(C-A-S-H)gel and its role in the evolution of the strength of waterglass slag binders,the compressive strength,hydration products,degree of hydration of the slag,and the degree of polymerization of C-A-S-H gels of binders were examined.The experimental results indicate that the pH of the pore solution increased with an increase in the Na_(2)O concentration.However,mortar with an optimum compressive strength value of 81.0 MPa at 28 d was obtained when water glass modulus was 1.5.The main hydration product is a C-A-S-H gel for which the quantity and the degree of polymerization depend strongly on the Na_(2)O concentration;for a given range,both increase with increasing Na_(2)O concentration,thus yielding an enhanced strength.A further increase in the Na_(2)O concentration continuously increases the quantity of C-A-S-H gels while drastically reducing the degree of polymerization.The positive effect of the former is counteracted by the adverse effect of the latter,ultimately,leading to a decreased strength.Furthermore,we reveal that the degree of polymerization for C-A-S-H gels may be affected by pH,through a series of complex chemical reactions.

Regulation on polymerization degree and surface feature in graphitic carbon nitride towards efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution under visible-light irradiation

A kind of graphitic carbon nitride(TSC-550) with high polymerization degree and improved surface property was prepared by a new precursor of thiosemicarbazide. The sulfur motif and high nitrogen content in thiosemicarbazide promoted the polymerization of thiosemicarbazide to form graphitic carbon nitride framework with high degree of polymerization, which significantly influenced the electronic structure and surface chemical properties. TSC-550 possessed a narrow bandgap of 2.19 eV that facilitated the utilization of visible light, and possessed a less positive charge, acidic surface that resulted in enhanced hydrogen adsorption ability in water solution, which promoted the H;evolution kinetics. In addition, the extended π-conjugated electronic system promoted the separation and migration of photogenerated charge carries in plane of TSC-550 framework, as well as the increasing interlayer C–N interactions in TSC-550 created conductive paths across the layers to tunnel interlayers for rapid electron transportation. As a result, TSC-550 nanosheets showed excellent photocatalytic H;production activity,the AQY achieved 36.4% at 425 nm.

Investigation on the Factors Influencing the Synthesis of Butyl Polyglycosides and Its Synthesis Kinetics

[ Objective ] The paper was to study the factors influencing the synthesis of butyl polyglycosides and its synthesis kineties. [ Method ] In the synthesis process of alkyl polyglycosides by transglyeosidation method, p-toluenesulfonie acid and stearie acid were used as composite catalyst, intermediate product butyl polyglycosides was prepared via reactive distillation technology. [ Result ] The suitable preparation conditian of butyl polyglyeasides was as follows： catalyst usage, 1.2 g（ p-toluenesulfoni ：stearie acid = 6：1 ） ; reaction temperature, 110 ℃ ; the ratio of butanol and glucose, 8： 1. The results showed that the larger the molar ratio of butanol and glucose was,the more the butyl monoside content was, and the less the polymerizatian degree of butyl glyeasides was. The catalyst usage and reaction temperature had little influence on the component of butyl polyglyeesides. With the increase of catalyst usage or reaction temperature,the reaction time was shortened dramatically. The kinetic equation for the synthesis of butyl glueeside was finally obtained as follows： -dCA/dt =0.163 7exp（ -1. 968×10^3/RT）CA -0.003 49 exp （ -2.727×10^3/RT） Ce. [ Conclusionl The suitable condition for the preparation of butyl polyglyeasides and its synthesis kinetic equation obtained in the study could provide theoretical basis for the synthesis of long-chain alkyl polyglyeasides.

热应力与电-热复合应力下油纸绝缘老化特性的比较研究(英文)

During the operation of power transformer,its oil-paper insulation is continuously subjected to various stresses,c.g.,the thermal,electrical,mechanical,and chemical stresses,which cause insulation aging gradually.It has been considered that the combined thermal and electrical stresses are the most important and unavoidable factors that induce insulation materials aging.In this work,accelerated aging experiments of oil-impregnated pressboards under combined thermal(130℃) and electrical stresses(4 kV/mm) are performed,while the aging experiments under single thermal stress are also carried out at the corresponding temperature(130℃).The electrical and physic-chemical properties of oil,including dielectric losses factor tanδ,resistivity,acid value and pH value etc.,are measured during the aging process.Dissolved gasses in oil and polymerization degree of cellulose are also measured.The relationship between these properties of oil-paper insulation and aging time is investigated.The results show that dissolved gases in oil,resistivity,tanδof oil under combined thermal and electrical stresses are obviously different from that tinder thermal stress during aging process while some other properties show similar changing trend.For cellulose, compared with the single thermal aging results,it even shows a slower degradation rate in the presence of electrical stress.

Studies on Single Chain Structure of Konjac Glucomannan

The simulation is carried out by employing the method of molecular dynamics with the single chain of konjac glucomannan （KGM） in vacuum as the structural model to discuss the factors that affect the single chain structure, the dynamic structure of the chain and the acting forces that maintain the chain structure. The results show that the shape and stability of the chain are affected by the degree of polymerization. As for the KGM with high degree of polymerization, its chain presents random coiling state and its stability declines. Both before and after deacetylation in the process of dynamic motion, the chain of KGM presents random coiling state with periodic variation of extension and coil and demonstrates favorable flexibility, indicating acetyl is not the main factor that affects the shape of chain, whereas dihedral angle and static actions are respectively the key bonding and nonbonding acting forces that influence the single chain conformations in vacuum.

Effects of MgO/Al2O3 ratio on viscous behaviors and structures of MgO-Al2O3-TiO2-CaO-SiO2 slag systems with high TiO2 content and low CaO/SiO2 ratio

The effects of MgO/Al2 O3 ratio on the viscous behaviors of MgO-Al2 O3-TiO2-CaO-SiO2 systems were investigated by the rotating cylinder method.Raman spectroscopy was used to analyze the structural characteristics of slag and Factsage 7.0 was adopted to demonstrate the liquidus temperature of slag.The results show that the viscosity and activation energy for viscous flow decrease when the MgO/Al2O3 ratio increases from 0.82 to 1.36.The break point temperature and liquidus temperature of slag initially decrease and subsequently increase.The complex viscous structures are gradually depolymerized to simple structural units.In conclusion,with the increase of MgO/Al2O3 ratio,the degree of polymerization of slag decreases,which improves the fluidity of slag.The variations of liquidus temperature of slag lead to the same changes of break point temperature.

Analysis of Hydration Mechanism and Microstructure of Composite Cementitious Materials for Filling Mining

To obtain the compositions and microstructure of hydration products of cementitious material in different hydration ages and its growth law of filling strength, the optimal proportion of composite cementitious material was determined according to the chemical composition of cement clinker which was composed of the Portland cement 32.5R, CSA 42.5 sulphoaluminate cement and two gypsum（CS）. The characterization of composite cementitious materials in different hydration ages was conducted by NMR, XRD and SEM techniques. The mechanism of hydration was explored. It is shown that the compressive strength of the test block increases gradually with the increase of hydration age. The microstructure of composite cementitious material can be changed from Al-O octahedron into Al-O tetrahedron in the hydration process. The hydrated alkali alumi niumsilicate formed with Si-O tetrahedron and Al-O tetrahedron. The degree of polymerization of Si-O tetrahedron gradually increased, and the structural strength of cementitious materials continued to increase. The diffraction peak of clinker minerals gradually decreased with the extension of hydration age. The CaSO4 completely hydrated to produce Aft during hydration which resulted in high early strength of cementitious material. The early hydration product of composite cementitious materials was Aft with a needle bar structure. The main middle and last hydration products were CSH gel and CH gel with dense prismatic shape. The microscopic pore of composite cementitious material gradually decreased and improved the later strength of filling block. The strong support was provided for mined-out area.

Carrageenans are widely utilized in many commercial applications such as the food and pharmaceutical industry, due to their excellent functional properties. In this study, a sensitive LC-MS/MS method was developed to determine κ-3, κ-5, and κ-7 carrageenan oligosaccharides simultaneously. Optimum MRM transitions for κ-3, κ-5, and κ-7 carrageenan oligosaccharides were(645.079→565.111, [M-H]-),(515.137→474.946, [M-2H]^2-), and(471.484→445, [M-3H]^3-), respectively. Chromatographic separation was performed on an Amide column coupled with a guard column operated at 60℃ under stepwise gradient elution. The linearity of the LC-MS/MS method for κ-3, κ-5, and κ-7 carrageenan oligosaccharides, evaluated over the concentration range of 0.10- 20.0 μmol L^-1, was excellent. The precisions of the method for κ-3, κ-5, and κ-7 carrageenan oligosaccharides were from 0.91% to 9.66%, and the inter-day precisions were from 0.92% to 10.5%. Validation of the LC-MS/MS method indicated that the method was precise and in line with the CFDA guidance. This method has been successfully applied to an in vitro absorption study.

Correlation between ^(29)Si polymerization and cementitious activity of coal gangue

A new method for estimating the degree of [SiO4]4-polymerization of coal gangue is presented. The method uses the relative bridging oxygen number (RBO) based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and 29Si NMR techniques have been used to study phase transitions and silicate polymerization of coal gangue calcined at different temperatures or co-calcined. It has been found that phase transition of clay minerals causes silicate polymerization to change with temperature. In this study, cementing activity and RBO were determined to be inversely related. Generally, activated coal gangue with lower RBO had better cementitious activity.

Chiral Separation Abilities of Homogeneously Synthesized Cellulose 3,5-Dimethylphenylcarbamates: Influences of Degree of Substitution and Molecular Weight

A series of cellulose 3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamates （CDMPCs） with different degrees of substitution （DS） and degrees of polymerization （DP） were homogeneously synthesized in 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride （AmimC1）. Then, the CDMPCs were coated on silica gel and used as chiral stationary phases （CSPs）, and their chiral recognition abilities for seven racemates were evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that DS and DP of CDMPCs had a great influence on chiral recognition abilities of the CSPs. The CSPs with the DS ~ 1 gives a low chiral recognition to most racemates. On the contrast, the CSPs with the DS _〉 2 exhibited high chiral separation abilities. For example, six racemates could be separated on the CSP with CDMPC of DS ~ 2 （CSP-2）. Especially, for the enantioseparation of 1-（2-naphthyl） ethanol and Tr6ger＇s base, CSP-2 gave the highest separation ability in all of CSPs. On the other hand, when the DP of cellulose was in a range from 39 to 220, the chiral separation abilities of CDMPCs increased as the DP increased. This work demonstrates that the structure of cellulose esters such as DS and DP has important effect on their chiral separation ability, and therefore provides a practical method to design and prepare desirable CSPs for different racemates.

The distribution of degree of crystallinity-New concept in polymer science

Due to the structure characteristics of huge macromolecular size and the very low motion feature of the polymer chain which is very difficult to arrange regularly their long chain into the three dimensional space,thus the polymer will incompletely crystallize except for the macroscopic single crystal of polydiacetylene polymerized by means of solid state crystalline polymerization.

Effect of SiO_(2) and B_(2)O_(3) on crystallization and structure of CaF2–CaO–Al_(2)O_(3)-based slag for electroslag remelting of ultra-supercritical rotor steel

Regarding development of the dedicated slag for electroslag remelting,crystallization characteristics of the slag exert a strong influence on the initial solidification of liquid metal in mold and surface quality of as-cast ingot.The crystallization behavior of CaF_(2)-CaO-Al_(2)O_(3)-based slag with varying SiO_(2)and B_(2)O_(3)contents and their correlation with the slag structure were investigated.Increasing SiO_(2)(0.24-8.95 mass%)and B_(2)O_(3)(0-3.20 mass%)contents lowers the crystallization temperature and suppresses the crystallization of the slag melts,as well as decreases the sizes of the crystalline phases.The crystalline phases precipitated during continuous cooling of the slag melts are faceted 11CaO·7Al_(2)O_(3)·CaF_(2),faceted or spherical CaF_(2),and non-faceted MgO·Al_(2)O_(3)(or MgO)in sequence irrespective of the SiO_(2)and B_(2)O_(3)contents of the slag.The polymerization degree of slag melts increases with increasing either SiO_(2)or B_(2)O_(3)contents.The crystallization of the slag melts is increasingly retarded with increasing the SiO_(2)and B_(2)O_(3)contents of the slag caused by increased component diffusion resistance originating from increased polymerization degree of the slag melts.

Structural behavior of F-in mould flux melt of CaO-SiO2-Al2 O3-Na2O-CaF2 system

The influence of fluorine on the structure of CaO Si（）e-Al2Oa Na2O-CaF2 continuous-casting-type slag was measured by Raman spectroscopy, and the degree of polymerization of mould flux and the structural behavior of F- in the melt were investigated by classifying and quantifying the structural species of F ions. The results exhibit that the main structural units of Si O tetrahedra are Q1, Q1 and Q2, and the actual measured number of non bridging oxygen ions in the [SiO4 ]-tetrahedra （denoted by NBO/T） in creases from 2. 73 to 3.44 with increasing the molar ratio of F to （F＋O） （denoted by XF/X（F-O ） from 0.06 to 0. 19. It means that the degree of polymerization o1 meh structure decreases with an increase in XE/X（F＋O）. In addition, most of F- ions were distributed in Si-O tetrahedra and Al-O tetrahedra. With increasing XF/X（F＋O）, the complex structural units Al-Otetrahedra are gradually replaced hy discrete structural units A1F4 because of the breakage of Al-O bonds in Al-Otetrahedra by F ions, and the SiO （bridging oxygen） bonds of SiO tetrahedra are broken to form [SiOnF1-n]-tetrahedra by F ions coordinating with Si4 ＋ .
