NATURAL PRODUCTIVITY OF ACRYLIC ACID AND DIMETHYL SULPHIDE DURING A SUMMER BLOOM OF PHAEOCYSTIS POUCHETII IN ANTARCTIC COASTAL WATER

Water samples were collected over P. pouchelii bloom period beginning in November 1988, in 15m water column, from 10km offshore of Davis Station, Vestfold Hill, Antarctica. The concentrations of acrylic acid and dimethyl sulphide （DMS）, which are toxic compounds in the water samples, were determined by HPLC and GC. The result shows that the concentration of acrylic acid varies in 0.001-0.510vmol·L-1 and the concentration of DMS in 0.003-0.588 mol·L-1 during P. pouchetii bloom. Both the increased since late December 1988 and reached the highest concentration in early January 1989, then they decreased rapidly and returned to lower level from middle January to February in agreement with variation in cell number of the unicell alga P. pouchetii. The correlation coefficients between acrylic acid and P. pouchetii and between DMS and P. pouchetii are all 0.998. It is undoubted that P. pouchetii produced acrylic acid and DMS. The highest productivity of acrylic acid and DMS were 9.76×10-8

Redox active polymer metal chelates for use in flexible symmetrical supercapacitors:Cobalt-containing poly(acrylic acid)polymer electrolytes

The novel polymer metal chelate electrolytes(polychelates)were prepared by incorporation of cobalt sulfate(Co)into poly(acrylic acid)(PAA)host matrix.Quasi-solid state supercapacitor devices were fabricated using polychelates,PAA-Co X(X:3,5,7,and 10)where X represents the doping fraction(w/w)of Co in PAA.All polymer metal electrolytes were showed excellent bending-stretching properties,thermal stability and electrochemical durability with an optimum ionic conductivity of 3.15×10^(-4) S cm^(-1).Hierarchically porous activated carbon and nano-sized conductive carbon were used to form carbon composite symmetrical device electrodes.The electric double-layer capacitor(EDLC)and redox reactions of Co-incorporated polychelates at the interfaces of porous activated carbon provided an optimum specific capacitance of 341.33 F g^(-1) with a device of PAA-Co7,which is at least 15 times enhancement compared to the device of pristine PAA.The PAA-Co7 device also provided energy density of 21.25 Wh kg^(-1) at a power density of 117.69 W kg^(-1).A prolonged cyclic stability of the device exhibited superior capacitive performance after 10,000 charge-discharge cycles and the maintained 90%of its initial performance.In addition,the supercapacitor with a dimension of 1.5 cm×3 cm containing PAA-Co7 successfully operated the red-blue-green(RGB)LED light.

CONFORMATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF POLY(ACRYLIC ACID) AND POLY(METHACRYLIC ACID)

A full-relaxation optimization of molecule and the Dreiding force field are employed toobtain the geometry parameters and the conformational energy surfaces of meso or racemicdyad of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA). Three differentcarbonyl-bond orientations of side-groups resulted in the differences in depth of potentialwells in their energetic contours for a meso or a racemic dyad. These discrepancies areinterpreted as a result of various fine structures corresponding to grid search conformationsas well as thereby different interactions. The analysis on the most stable conformationsof PMAA confirmed that the ester groups are nearly perpendicular to the plane definedby the two adjacent skeletal bonds but may possibly change their relative orientations tomeet the requirement of lower energy during the conformational state transition. For eachpolyme, two global energy maps of a meso and a racemic dyad were finally constructedfrom the superposition of energy data for the three kinds of side-group orientations by theBoltzmann factors. From an ensemble average, the proposed scheme with three rotationalisomeric states (RIS) allowed us to access the experimentally unperturbed dimensions ofPAA chain via the configurational statistical mechanics. Although the calculation wasbased on the short-range, local interactions, it was interested to note that the experimentalcharacteristic ratios just fell within the range calculated for atactic chains.

Radiation Induced Grafting of Acrylic Acid onto Viscose Rayon Fabrics and Its After-Effects

Radiation induced grafting of various polymers with different monomers proved to be an attractive means to modify the physical or chemical properties of polymeric materials or textile fabrics. In the present work, radiation induced grafting of viscose rayon fabrics, consisting mainly of cellulose fibers, with acrylic acid monomer has been carried out. The grafting yields have been thoroughly studied as a function of different applied experimental parameters. The impact of the graft yield on the physical properties of the fabrics such as tensile strength, elongation, swelling, moisture absorption, crease recovery angle and also the dyeing properties of the fabrics has been studied. The effect of increasing the contact time of the fabric and monomer solution, at room temperature, after stopping irradiation has been studied in detail as well as the effect of temperature on the irradiated samples also after stopping irradiation. The best grafting yield was obtained on irradiating viscose rayon fabric in methanol-water solvent containing acrylic acid monomer, at a dose 20 kGys, then heating for 7 hours at 80℃ and finally keeping the samples at room temperature for about 20 hours. That treatment significantly increased the final graft yield.

Variations in surface and electrical properties of polytetrafluoroethylene film after plasma-induced grafting of acrylic acid

Polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) film was graftpolymerized with acrylic acid(AAc) via a low-temperature plasma technique.The effect of plasma treatment parameters(radio-frequency power and treatment time) on the spin number of free radicals in PTFE film was examined.Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared(ATR-FTIR)spectroscopy,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy,and atomic force microscopy were employed to characterize the chemical structure,surface composition,and microstructure of the original PTFE and PTFE-g-PAAc films,respectively,in order to verify the successful graft polymerization of AAc onto a PTFE film surface.Thermogravimetric analysis illustrated that the thermal stability of bulk PTFE film remains unchanged after graft modification.Water contact angle measurements confirmed that the hydrophilicity of PTFE-g-PAAc film was effectively improved as compared to the original PTFE film.The dielectric constant(ε_r) of PTFE-g-PAAc(GD =218 μg/cm^2) film remained invariable,compared to that of the unmodified PTFE film.Nevertheless,the dielectric loss(tanδ) of PTFE film increased considerably,from 0.0002(GD = 0μg/cm^2) to 0.0073(GD = 218 μg/cm^2),which might be due to the increase in surface polarity and moisture resulting from AAc graft modification.In addition,the surface electrical resistance(R_s) of PTFE film decreased slightly,from 131.89(GD = 0 μg/cm^2) to 110.28 Ω cm^2(GD = 218μg/cm^2) after surface modification,but still retained its inherent high impedance.

Oxidation of propane to acrylic acid and acetic acid over alkaline earth-doped Mo-V-Sb-O_x catalysts

Alkaline earth metal (Mg,Ca,Sr and Ba)-doped Mo-V-Sb-O x catalysts,prepared by a dry-up method,have been investigated for their catalytic performance in the oxidation of propane under different reaction conditions.The catalysts have been characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption,temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of NH3,SEM and XRD.Influence of water vapor on the catalytic performance,particularly on the selectivities to acetic acid and acrylic acid,has also been studied.The selectivity to acrylic acid was improved significantly by the doping of alkaline earth metals to Mo-V-Sb-O x catalysts.The surface acidic sites of the catalyst decreased with the doping of the catalyst with alkaline earth metals,which ultimately was found to be beneficial for obtaining high selectivity to acrylic acid.The catalytic activity and product selectivities were found to be influenced by the reaction temperature,C3H8/O2 ratio and space velocity.A significant improvement in the selectivity to acrylic acid has also been observed by the addition of water vapor in the feed of propane and oxygen in the oxidation of propane.

Graft Polymerization of Acrylic Acid on a Polytetrafluoroethylene Panel by an Inductively Coupled Plasma

Surface modification on a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)panel was performedwith sequential nitrogen plasma treatments and surface-initiated polymerization.By introducingCOO— groups to the surface of the PTFE panel through grafting polymerization of acrylic acid(AA),a transparent poly (acrylic acid)(PAA)membrane was achieved from acrylic acid solution.Grafting polymerization initiating from the active groups was achieved on the PTFE panel surfaceafter the nitrogen plasma treatment.Utilizing the acrylic acid as monomers,with COO— groupsas cross link sites to form reticulation structure,a transparent poly (acrylic acid)membrane witharborescent macromolecular structure was formed on the PTFE panel surface.Analysis methods,such as fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),microscopy and X-ray photoelectronspectroscopy (XPS),were utilized to characterize the structures of the macromolecule membraneon the PTFE panel surface.A contact angle measurement was performed to characterize themodified PTFE panels.The surface hydrophilicities of modified PTFE panels were significantlyenhanced after the plasma treatment.It was shown that the grafting rate is related to the treatingtime and the power of plasma.

PREPARATION OF POLY(ETHYLENEGLYCOL-co-ACRYLIC ACID) MICROSPHERES WITH DIVINYLBENZNE AS CROSSLINKER BY DISTILLATION-PRECIPITATION POLYMERIZATION

Monodisperse poly(poly(ethyleneglycol) methyl ether acrylate-co-acrylic acid) (poly(PEGMA-co-AA)) microspheres were prepared by distillation-precipitation polymerization with divinylbenzene (DVB) as crosslinker with 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator in neat acetonitrile without stirring. Under various reaction conditions, four distinct morphologies including the sol, microemulsion, microgels and microspheres were formed during the distillation of the solvent from the reaction system. A 2D morphological map was established as a function of crosslinker concentration and the polar monomer AA concentration, in comonomer feed in the transition between the morphology domains. The effect of the covalent crosslinker DVB on the morphology of the polymer network was investigated in detail at AA fraction of 40 vol%. The ratios of acid to ethylene oxide units presenting in the comonomers dramatically affected the polymer-polymer interaction and hence the morphology of the resultant polymer network. The covalent crosslinking by DVB and the hydrogen bonding crosslinking between two acid units as well as between the acid and ethylene oxide unit played key roles in the formation of monodisperse polymer microspheres.

Cross-linking Copolymerization of Acrylic Acid and Multi-armed Cross-linkers

The overall cross-linking copolymerization of acrylic acid and multi-armed cross-linkers are investigated by in situ interferometry. The results show that the more arms the cross-linkers have, the higher the polymerization rate is. However, they also mean the existence of less cross-linking efficiency and some defects in gel network.

A simple method to avoid the noise in the background during the signal processing via Fouriertransformation was used in this work. The effects of the amount of initiator used on the polymerization arestudied. When the amount of the initiator in the polymerization was increased, both the rate and extent ofpolymerization of acrylic acid will be increased.

Poly (Acrylamide-co-Acrylic Acid) Hydrogel Induced by Glow-Discharge Electrolysis Plasma and Its Adsorption Properties for Cationic Dyes

In this paper, poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid)(P(AM-co-AA)) hydrogel was prepared in an aqueous solution by using glow-discharge electrolysis plasma(GDEP) induced copolymerization of acrylamide(AM) and acrylic acid(AA), in which N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide(MBA) was used as a crosslinker. A mechanism for the synthesis of P(AM-co-AA) hydrogel was proposed. To optimize the synthesis condition, the following parameters were examined in detail:the discharge voltage, discharge time, the content of the crosslinker, and the mass ratio of AM to AA. The results showed that the optimum pH range for cationic dyes removal was found to be 5.0-10.0. The P(AM-co-AA) hydrogel exhibits a very high adsorption potential and the experimental adsorption capacities for Crystal violet(CV) and Methylene blue(MB) were 2974.3mg/g and 2303.6 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption process follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In addition, the adsorption mechanism of P(AM-co-AA) hydrogel for cationic dyes was also discussed.

Flammability and Explosion Property of Gases in the One-Step Process of Propane Oxidation to Acrylic Acid

In order to study the flammability and explosion property of gases during the propane oxidation to acrylic acid process, the explosion limits and the safety oxygen content of gases at the recycle gas compressor outlet, the reactor inlet, and the reactor outlet were theoretically calculated and experimentally tested. Finally, the inert limit was also determined. It showed that gases at the recycle gas compressor outlet and the reactor outlet were nonflammable based on three indicators: the explosion limits, the safety oxygen content and the inert limit. The C3H6 and O2 contents were higher at the reactor inlet, which made the mixed gases easily ignitable. However, the large amount of inert gases suppressed the possibility of explosion effectively. As a consequence, no explosion phenomenon would happen in all three locations. But gases at the reactor inlet are most dangerous, where more supervision on the concentration of gases and more strict control on the temperature and pressure should be implemented. Besides this, open flame, hot surfaces and other sources of ignition are prohibited in working spaces. The experimental results can be applied to similar process for oxidation of propane.
