The results of thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and near-infrared absorption spectrum show that the materials have high thermal stability and high optical transparency in the infrared communication region. The refractive index of FPEEK can be controlled easily by changing the fluorine content of the materials. The 32-channel AWG multiplexer is fabricated using the FPEEK and oxygen reactive ion etching technology. The AWG multiplexer exhibits that the insertion loss is from 12.8 to 17.8 dB and the channel crosstalk is less than-20 dB. The wavelength channel spacing and the center wavelength are 0.8nm and 1548nm, respectively.展开更多

Two representative properties of these monomers, UV-curing behavior initiated by a cationic photo-initiator PAG 201 and surface free energy of coating films, were investigated. Photo-polymerization proceeded both rapidly and completely with a high double-bond conversion （〉 90%） and a fast curing rate （maximum curing time 〈 21 s） for three monomers. The surface energies of the monomers and the resulting polymer films were then investigated. The minimum surface free energy of the UV-cured homopolymer films reaches 7.1 mJ/m2. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data show that the low surthce tension is influenced by fluorine content in the soft segments and fluorinated chains＇ migration to the surface. The five monomers exhibit low viscosity, low surface energy, good thermal stability and good photo-polymerization properties, which make them great candidates for UV coating and photoresist applications.展开更多

To investigate the diffusion mechanism of fluorinated polymer monomers in MOFs, in this paper the molecular dynamics simulations combined with the density functional theory and the Monte Carlo method are used and the all-atom models of TFMA （trifluoroethyl methacrylate） monomer and two types of MOFs,[Zn2（BDC）2（TED）]n and[Zn2（BPDC）2（TED）]n, are established. The diffusion behaviors of TFMA monomer in these two MOFs are simulated and the main influencing factors are analyzed. The obtained results are as follows. First, the electrostatic interactions between TFMA monomers and MOFs cause the monomers to concentrate in the MOF channel, which slows down the monomer diffusion. Second, the anisotropic shape of the one-dimensional MOF channel leads to different diffusion speeds of monomers in different directions. Third, MOF with a larger pore diameter due to a longer organic ligand,[Zn2（BPDC）2（TED）]n in this paper, facilitates the diffusion of monomers in the MOF channel. Finally, as the number of monomers increases, the self-diffusion coefficient is reduced by the steric effect.展开更多

The resultant latex and its film were characterized with dynamic light scattering detector and contact angle meter. Influences of amount of DMDAAC on the properties of resultant latex and its film were investigated in detail. Results show that the particle size of the latex has the minimum value knd the zeta potential of the latex is increased when the amount of DMDAAC is increased. In addition, the particle size of the latex is unimodal distribution when the amount of DMDAAC is not more than 2.5%. However, the particle size of the latex is bimodal distribution when the amount of DMDAAC is more than 2.5%. The contact angle is varied slightly with the increase of amount of DMDAAC when it is not more than 2.5%. Nevertheless, the contact angle is decreased with the increase of the amount of DMDAAC when it is more than 2.5%.展开更多
