The solubility of β-CD in LiCl/DMAC system was lower than that in IL/DMAC system with [Cl]- or [Br]- anions but higher than that in IL/DMAC system with weak-coordinated anions (e.g [BF4]- or [PF6]-). The effects of substituent groups (benzyl and butyl) of cation and the structure of cations on β-cyclodextrin solubility were also investigated.展开更多

Moreover, the effect of mixed solvent on the preparation, morphology and monodispersity was investigated. The experimental results showed that solubility parameter of butyl methacrylate and solvent affected mainly the molding of monodisperse core-shell microspheres. When the microspheres were fabricated in a sequential synthesis process, addition of hydrophilic and organic solvent including butyl methacrylate led to spherical degree of the particles becoming worse, and the mean diameter of the microspheres decreased and the monodispersity became better with increasing the crosslinker methylenebisacrylamide dosage.展开更多

The second solvent, with a higher boiling point than that of the first solvent and much better solubility for PCBM than P3HT, is chosen to mix with the first solvent with a lower boiling point and good solubility for both PCBM and P3HT. The slow evaporation rate of the second solvent provides enough time for PCBM to diffuse upwards during the solvent evaporation. Thus, the weight ratio of PCBM and P3HT (mpcBM/mp3HT) at surface of the blend films was varied from ca. 0.1 to ca. 0.72, i.e., it increases about seven times by changing from single solvent to mixed solvents. Meanwhile, the mixed solvents were in favor to form P3HT naonofiber network and enhance phase separation of P3HT/PCBM blend films. As a result, the power conversion efficiency of the device from mixed solvents with slow evaporation process was about 1.5 times of the one from single solvents.展开更多

The conductivity and UV spectrum studies were with respect to the effect of KHP on DTAB and that of DTAB micelle on KHP, respectively. According to the chemical shift changes of the aromatic ring and the surfactant methylene protons, it can be assumed that KHP penetrated into DTAB micelle with its carboxylic group protruding out of the micellar surface. And the strength of the interaction became weaker with the content of EG in the mixed solvent increasing.展开更多

The composite membrane of cellulose acetate (CA) blended with MMA-AA hydrophobic copolymer was used for the separation of methanol from pentane-methanol mixture. When the methanol concentration was only 1 wt%, the permeate flux still maintained at 350 g/m(2)h and separation factor was as big as 800. The composite membrane of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) blended with MMA-AA hydrophilic copolymer was used for the separation of ethanol-water mixture. The permeate flux was increased to 975 g/m(2)h at 74 degrees C and the separation factor reached 3000 at 25 degrees C. The PVA/MMA-AA blended membrane surface modified by ammonia plasma was also investigated for separating ethanol-water mixture. Both permeate flux and separation factor of the membrane was improved. However, there was no obvious difference of plasma treatment time in the interval of 20 similar to 40 min.展开更多

The side-products(SPs) were super-branched oligmers with plenty of hydrophilic groups, which could affect the crystallization process by interactions such as hydrogen bond. Alcohol-water mixed solvent with different polyols could be used to weaken the SPs-glycine interaction and strengthen the SPs-water interaction, which help to improve the crystallization efficiency and purity. After optimization, SPs’ mass fraction in glycine could be reduced by 80% and the morphology of crystal particles could also be improved.展开更多

This paper describes a thermodynamic method to analyze solid-liquid equilibrium for electrolytes in mixed solvents solutions using the LIQUAC model. The KCI solubilities in mixed water-ethanol solutions are predicted with the LIQUAC model and its original interaction parameters. This method is also used to obtain new K^+-ethanol interaction parameters in the LIQUAC model from the solubility data. The new interaction parameters accurately predict the vapor-liquid equilibrium data of K^+ salts (including KCI, KBr, and KCOOCH3) in mixed water-ethanol solutions. The results illustrate the flexibility of the LIQUAC model which can predict not only vapor-liquid equilibrium but also solid-liquid equilibrium in mixed solvent systems.展开更多

Spherical co-assemblies of PS120-b-PEO318 and oleylamine-capped CdS quantum dots (QDs) are produced successfully in this work by adding water to a mixed common solvent, such as N,N-dimethylmethanamide (DMF)/chloroform, DMF/tetrahydrofuran (THF), or DMF/toluene. The energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrum indicates that QDs are located at the interface between the core and shell of the spherical co-assemblies. The co-assembly process during water addition is traced by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and turbidity measurement. Spherical co-assemblies are formed through budding from bilayers of the block copolymer and QDs. The morphology of the co-assemblies is related to the miscibility of the QD-dispersing solvents with water and the morphology changes from a spherical to a vesicle-like structure with DMF/toluene. Increasing THF content in the mixed solvent causes morphological transitions from spherical co-assemblies to multi-branched cylinders and micelles where QDs are located in the central core. Increasing chloroform content yields vesicle-like structures with protruding rods on the surface. The mechanism of the morphological transitions is also discussed in detail.展开更多

FTIR and XRD results suggest that the self-assembly patterns of the gelator will not change in either the single solvent component or the corresponding solvent mixtures, but the critical gelation concentration(CGC)will be influenced. The results of SEM and rheology showed that the formation of true gels at saturated concentrations. Improving the heating temperature may promote the dissolving of gelators which are even insoluble at the temperature of the solvent boiling point and change the gelation behaviors. FloryHuggins parameter(x) was used to predict the gelation behavior of DCBS in the mixed solvents, and it is shown that the x values for the mixed solvents that can be gelled by DCBS are either greater or smaller than those for the selected good solvents.展开更多

The addition of DEG increased the viscosity of the system,which caused the Fe3O4 primary crystal to aggregate slower and the morphological yield to approach nearly 100%.

The influences of compositions on the thermal behavior, crystallization morphology and structure of the blends were studied. FTIR results indicated that there was no CO0 linking to two phenyl groups on each side chain and DSC results supported no transesterification reaction. DSC curves showed that Tc and Tmc increased to maximum range when PC contents were between 7 wt%-15 wt%, however, Tm decreased constantly with the increase of PC contents. It was observed from POM that PTT spherulitic morphology and crystallization kinetics were obviously influenced by the change of PC contents. Structural evolutions during cooling were investigated by SAXS which showed Lc of PTT remained a constant with different PC contents and also fixed during crystallization, nevertheless, it revealed a maximum value of Lnc for sample PTT93. It was concluded that PC chains could be permeated into not only amorphous crystallite structure but also amorphous lamellae structure and 7 wt% PC content was supposed to be the "proper" penetration amount into PTT lamellae structure which led to a maximum capacity of amorphous lamellar layer. Fringedmicelle crystal model was adopted to illustrate semi-crystalline physical structures of the blend in two kinds of component aggregation states.展开更多

FTIR and XRD results suggest that the self-assembly patterns of the gelator will not change in either the single solvent component or the corresponding solvent mixtures, but the critical gelation concentration(CGC)will be influenced. The results of SEM and rheology showed that the formation of true gels at saturated concentrations. Improving the heating temperature may promote the dissolving of gelators which are even insoluble at the temperature of the solvent boiling point and change the gelation behaviors. FloryHuggins parameter(x) was used to predict the gelation behavior of DCBS in the mixed solvents, and it is shown that the x values for the mixed solvents that can be gelled by DCBS are either greater or smaller than those for the selected good solvents.

文摘Hollow Fe3O4(H-Fe3O4) microspheres were fabricated through a facile one-step solvothermal synthesis,which was performed in an ethylene glycol(EG)–diethylene glycol(DEG) mixed solvent using polyethylene glycol(PEG) as the stabilizer. The addition of DEG increased the viscosity of the system,which caused the Fe3O4 primary crystal to aggregate slower and the morphological yield to approach nearly 100%. The as-prepared hollow Fe3O4 microspheres show promise for application in lithium ion battery anodes and showed a reversible specific capacity of 453.3 mAh g^-1 after 50 cycles at 100 mA g^-1.

文摘Poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/polycarbonate (PTT/PC) blends were prepared by solvent mixing to avoid transesterification during high temperature blending. The influences of compositions on the thermal behavior, crystallization morphology and structure of the blends were studied. FTIR results indicated that there was no CO0 linking to two phenyl groups on each side chain and DSC results supported no transesterification reaction. DSC curves showed that Tc and Tmc increased to maximum range when PC contents were between 7 wt%-15 wt%, however, Tm decreased constantly with the increase of PC contents. It was observed from POM that PTT spherulitic morphology and crystallization kinetics were obviously influenced by the change of PC contents. Structural evolutions during cooling were investigated by SAXS which showed Lc of PTT remained a constant with different PC contents and also fixed during crystallization, nevertheless, it revealed a maximum value of Lnc for sample PTT93. It was concluded that PC chains could be permeated into not only amorphous crystallite structure but also amorphous lamellae structure and 7 wt% PC content was supposed to be the "proper" penetration amount into PTT lamellae structure which led to a maximum capacity of amorphous lamellar layer. Fringedmicelle crystal model was adopted to illustrate semi-crystalline physical structures of the blend in two kinds of component aggregation states.
