Experimental work was carried out using the pendant drop method coupled with image analysis within an adapted instrumented climatic chamber. Results show that surface tension linearly decreases when relative humidity increases. Although the effect of humidity is less compared to that of the temperature and even less compared to a surfactant impact, it must not be neglected and values have to be mentioned when dealing with water evaporation. Modifying surface tension also affects the pendant drop shape. The drying kinetics of the pendant drop volume and its outer shell are connected to this change of shape. Steam in the air can be assimilated to a wetting agent, hence a surfactant, and can be used in an environmental-friendly way to ease the drying stage. Indeed, the challenge is to limit the risk of cracking and damaging pieces during this crucial step in material processing.展开更多

Inter-and intra -molecular exciplex is formed between the singlet excited state of N, N- dimethylanilino group (abbreviated to DMA) and the ground state of terephthalate group (abbreviated to TP). The intensity ratio of the long wavelength exciplex fluorescence to the short wavelength emission of DMA group is used as an index for the inter-and intra-molecular interaction of chromophores. The results are compared with model polymer polyoxy-2-(4-N ,N-dimethylaminobenzyl) propanc-1 , 3-diyloxyadipoyl (Ⅱ), model monomer compound 4-N, N-dimethylaminobenzylmethyl terephthalate(Ⅲ) and diethyl 2-( 4-N, N-dimethylaminobenzyl) malonate (Ⅳ). Polymer association derived by electron donor and acceptor interaction (EDA) is further verified as a key role in the interpolymer exciplex formation . The fluorescence decay time of (Ⅰ) and monomer (Ⅲ) are measured in solutions.展开更多

For organic composite part, 1) maltose-pendant polymer (homopolymer) and 2) the copolymer of maltose-pendant monomer and a small amount of N,N-Dimethylamino propylacrylamide, methyl chloride quartenary were used. The morphological studies (XRD and FE-SEM) revealed that the hybrid of maltose-pendant polymer was a conventional phase separated composite. On the other hand, the hybrid using the copolymer exhibited exfoliated structure. Both the conventional composite of maltose-pendant polymer and the nanocomposite of copolymer were applied to a coating material for oxygen gas barrier layer on a nylon-6 film, and oxygen transmission rates of the films were evaluated. Maltose-pendant polymer had a good oxygen barrier property under dry condition, and the barrier property under wet condition was improved by the hybridization with mica. In contrast, the barrier property of copolymer was slightly inferior to that of maltosependant polymer. However, under dry condition, it can be seen that the nanocomposite of copolymer improves the barrier property more effectively than the case of conventional composite of maltose-pendant polymer.展开更多

The solution behaviours of the nickel(Ⅱ) complexes have been studied by Uv vis, cyclic voltammetric techniques. The red shifts were observed for the absorption band maxima of the electronic spectra from NiLR 1 to NiLR 2 (R=2 methylfuran, 2 methylthiophene, 2 methylpyridine). The value of E 1/2 of the NiLR 2 is less than NiLR 1 and both of them are lower than that of the nickel(Ⅱ) complex of the unsubstituted ligand, and these reasons are discussed.展开更多

It was made from five pieces of jade which were carved into ornamental shapes, including a dragon, a phoenix, a bi(a round flat piece of jade with a hole in the center), and rings. Three slip-hoops are fashioned into an ellipse. A single jade nail connects the pieces to a pendant which can be folded or taken apart. Some designs often were carved either on one side or both sides of these ornaments. On this piece are found 37 styles of dragons, seven kinds of phoenixes and ten snakes, done by drill-carving, carving on the surface or in intagolio. Also on the pendant is a picture titled "The Claws of the Phoenixes Grasp the Snakes."展开更多

The image of the pendant drop is recorded by a camera, and a B-Snake method is used to analyze the contour and the contact angle of the droplet. The experimental results have provided a set of well tested data, which show that CO2 has good infiltration into stainless steel surface and the de- veloped method can be used as a standard testing one for measuring the contact angle between high-pressure liquid and solid surface.
文摘合成润滑油广泛应用于各类制冷与热泵设备,其热物理性质是分析热力学能效、换热性能和沿程压降的基础数据,对评价和优化系统结构具有重要意义。本文研制了一套低温、高压悬滴法表面张力实验测量系统,并使用振动管密度计与悬滴法表面张力实验系统开展了基础润滑油(POE、PVE和PAG)的液相密度和表面张力实验研究,测量的温度范围为243.15~363.15 K,液相密度和表面张力测量的扩展不确定度分别在0.2%和0.1 m N·m^(-1)以内。实验结果表明:基础润滑油的液相密度和表面张力均随温度的增大而减小,关联方程的计算值与实验值的绝对平均偏差分别小于0.04%和0.5%。
