Compared with water-soluble acrylic resin, the phase inversion of 2K-WPU occurs at lower water content. It is indicated by TEM that 2K-WPU parti-cles show a core-shell structure, in which HDI biuret is encapsulated by hydrophilic acrylic resin. 2K-WPU emulsion with HDI biuret has larger particle size and narrower distribution index, while for 2K-WPU emulsion with HDI iso-cyanurate, the latex not only has large particle size, but also has two-peak distribution. FTIR shows that the reaction be-tween HDI biuret and acrylic resin can complete in 12h. In addition, studies on effect of composition of acrylic resin on performance of 2K-WPU show that narrowing the polar difference between water-soluble acrylic resin and HDI biuret and improving the miscibility of two components are the key to prepare the transparent and high gloss films with high crosslinking density.展开更多

The results showed that nitrification was prone to complete with increasing pH, DO and temperature. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated the effects of temperature and pH on nitrification feature of suspended bacteria were slightly greater than those of immobilized nitrifying bacteria. Immobilized cells could achieve complete nitrification at low ammonia concentrations when DO was sufficient. Continuous experiments were carried out to discuss the removal of ammonia nitrogen from synthetic micropollute source water with the ammonia concentration of about 1mg/L using immobilized nitrifying bacteria pellets in an up-flow inner circulation reactor under different hydraulic retention times （HRT）. The continuous removal rate remains above 80% even under HRT 30 min. The results verified that the waterborne polyurethane immobilized nitrifying bacteria pellets had great potential applications for micro-pollution source water treatment.展开更多

By criterion of yield of the copolymer AMPS-EP, water-solubility, change of the acid value and intrinsic viscosity [η] along with reaction time, the copolymerization course was deduced. It is found that during the process, AMPS takes part in both the grafting copolymerization with epoxy principal chain and the ring-opening polyaddition with epoxy group. It is also discovered that the yield of AMPS-EP and water dispersing varies with reaction time. When it reaches 1.5 h, AMPS-EP can obtain good water-solubility; but the water-solubility will go bad gradually if it exceeds 3.5 h.. R spectrum analysis indicates that partial epoxy group partially remains and the others create sulfonic ester.展开更多

The corrosion protection of the waterborne epoxy coatings containing the adhesive polymers was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）. The results indicated that the PHEA-DOPA could improve the corrosion resistance of the waterborne epoxy coating. The corrosion products were also analyzed by Raman microspectroscopy（RM）, indicating the formation of the insoluble DOPA-Fe complexes on the carbon steel surface. These complexes simultaneously acting as a passivating layer, can inhibit the process of corrosion at the metal-solution interface. The differential scanning calorimeter（DSC） measurement indicated that PHEA-DOPA can increase the crosslinking density of coating. The effect of O;on the protective mechanism of the PHEA-DOPA coating in a 3.5% NaCl solution was also evaluated by EIS. The results indicated that the barrier effect was significantly improved under aerated conditions because DOPA was oxidized to DOPA-quinone（Dq） by O;, which triggered the reaction with Fe ions that were released from the surface of the carbon steel. This led to more compact coatings.展开更多

In the present investigation electrically conductive nanocoatings were prepared by the incorporation of graphite, nano-SiO2 concentrate, acrylic nanoemulsion and fluorocarbon emulsion onto the waterborne epoxy polymer. The nanosize distribution of nano-SiO2 concentrate and nanoemulsion was characterized with laser diffraction analyzer and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. From the results of SEM image, the graphite particles were well distributed in conductive coating. The corrosion resistance and thermal stability of nanocoatings were comparatively studied by SEM and thermogravimetry （TG）. The corrosion-inhibiting properties of the conductive nanocoatings were investigated by salt immersion test. The measurements of contact angle, bonding strength and heat-freeze charge demonstrated that 1.5-2.0 wt% nanoparticles improve the resistance to pollution, adherence and resistance to heat-freeze charge of conductive nanocoatings. The measured results of surface electric resistance of nanocoatings demonstrated that a small amount of nano- SiO2 particles could enhance the conductivity in the corrosive environment.展开更多

During two successive 1-year study periods （July 2009 to July 2011）, the water quality in Wanzhou watershed of the TGR was tested with regard to the presence of fecal indicators and pathogens. According to Chinese and World Health Organization water quality standards, water quality in the mainstream was good but poor in backwater areas. Salmonella, Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli （EHEC）, Giardia and Cryptosporidium were detected in the watershed. Prevalence and concentrations of the pathogens in the mainstream were lower than those in backwater areas. The estimated risk of infection with Salmonella, EHEC, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia per exposure event ranged from 2.9 × 10 -7 to 1.68 × 10-5 , 7.04 × 10-10 to 2.36 × 10-7 , 5.39 × 10-6 to 1.25 × 10-4 and 0 to 1.2 × 10-3 , respectively, for occupational divers and recreational swimmers exposed to the waters. The estimated risk of infection at exposure to the 95% upper confidence limit concentrations of Salmonella, Cryptosporidium and Giardia may be up to 2.62 × 10-5 , 2.55 × 10-4 and 2.86 × 10-3 , respectively. This study provides useful information for the residents, health care workers and managers to improve the safety of surface water and reduce the risk of fecal contamination in the TGR.展开更多

The bulk structures and properties of the prepared polyurethanes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）, tensile mechanical tests and water contact angle （WCA） measurements. The degree of microphase separation was slightly improved because of the lowered crosslinking degree of these PEGPUs in comparison with the high cross-linking degree samples, leading to good mechanical properties, as indicated by DSC and stress-strain data. Moreover, biodegradability of the polyurethanes was evaluated in phosphate buffer solutions （PBS） under different pH values and enzymatic solution at pH 7.4 through weight loss monitoring. The results suggested that the degradation of these PEGPUs was closely related to their bulk and surface properties. And the degradation products didn＇t show apparent inhibition effect against fibroblasts in vitro. These studies demonstrated that the waterborne biodegradable polyurethanes could find potential use in soft tissue engineering and tissue regeneration.展开更多

Meanwhile, NS with different molecular weights was synthesized and used as the soft co-segment. Effects of types and contents of soft co-segments as well as chain extenders on the thermal degradation and stability for WPSUR films were examined. Results reveal that WPSUR films exhibit excellent water resistance and mechanical properties as compared with pure polyurethane （PU） films, and the NS soft co-segment possesses a remarkable effect on the second stage （stage Ⅱ）, while the content of the hard segment is propitious to the initial stage （stage Ⅰ）. Moreover, the highest temperature of stage Ⅱ （T2m） for WPSUR films using NS as soft co-segment is 413℃, approximately being 30℃ higher than that of those typical PUs using HDA and APDMS as the chain extenders, respectively.展开更多

In this article, a series of waterborne polyurethane em ulsions was successfully synthesized and extensively characterized in terms of thermal, mechanical properties, hydrophilic behavior and morphology. Snowwas chosen as dispersant instead of comm only used water. Preparation param eters such as intrinsic properties and molecular weight of polyols were discussed systematically. A chain structure was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. when com paring the nature of the polyols (PPG, PEG and PNA, 2000g/mol) of this study, as-synthesized polyether waterborne polyurethane provided higher solid content, viscosity and water-resistance. However, polyester waterborne polyurethane perform ed differently and it exhibited higher therm al stability and crystallinity. When com paring the samples (WPU-N210, WPU-N220, WPU-N230 and WPU-N240) with different molecular weight of the same polyol (PPG) used as soft segment, the emulsion WPU-N220 with molecular weight of 2000g/mol PPG provided the highest solid content and lowest viscosity. It was observed th at particle size was uniform and highly dispersed for all sam ples from TEM images. Therm ogravim etric, differential scanning calorim etry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction results dem onstrated that the emulsion WPU-N230 with m olecular weight of 3000 g/mol PPG possessed higher therm al stability and crystallinity than the other samples. The reason was that the Tg and thermal stability were increased with increasing molecular weight. when molecular weight increased, the arrangem ent of soft segm ent became more regular and so did the regularity of the molecular chains. This work demonstrated that different polyols as soft segment applied could lead to great differences in the structure and property of the resulting WPU.展开更多

The surface compositions and hydrophilicity of these WPU/heparin blend coatings are characterized by attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy （ATR-FTIR） and water contact angle measurements. These WPU/heparin blend coatings show effectively controlled release of heparin, as determined by the toluidine blue method. Furthermore, the biocompatibility and anticoagulant activity of these blend coatings are evaluated based on the protein adsorption, platelet adhesion, activated partial thromboplastin time （APTT）, thrombin time （TT）, hemolysis, and cytotoxicity. The results indicate that better hemocompatibility and cytocompatilibity are obtained due to blending heparin into this waterborne polyurethane. Thus, the WPU/heparin blend coating system is expected to be valuable for various biomedical applications.展开更多

The differential scanning calorimeter（DSC） measurement indicated that PHEA-DOPA can increase the crosslinking density of coating. The effect of O;on the protective mechanism of the PHEA-DOPA coating in a 3.5% NaCl solution was also evaluated by EIS. The results indicated that the barrier effect was significantly improved under aerated conditions because DOPA was oxidized to DOPA-quinone（Dq） by O;, which triggered the reaction with Fe ions that were released from the surface of the carbon steel. This led to more compact coatings.

文摘Electrically conductive coatings are required for static charge dissipation in power ground network. In the present investigation electrically conductive nanocoatings were prepared by the incorporation of graphite, nano-SiO2 concentrate, acrylic nanoemulsion and fluorocarbon emulsion onto the waterborne epoxy polymer. The nanosize distribution of nano-SiO2 concentrate and nanoemulsion was characterized with laser diffraction analyzer and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. From the results of SEM image, the graphite particles were well distributed in conductive coating. The corrosion resistance and thermal stability of nanocoatings were comparatively studied by SEM and thermogravimetry （TG）. The corrosion-inhibiting properties of the conductive nanocoatings were investigated by salt immersion test. The measurements of contact angle, bonding strength and heat-freeze charge demonstrated that 1.5-2.0 wt% nanoparticles improve the resistance to pollution, adherence and resistance to heat-freeze charge of conductive nanocoatings. The measured results of surface electric resistance of nanocoatings demonstrated that a small amount of nano- SiO2 particles could enhance the conductivity in the corrosive environment.

文摘The Three Gorges Reservoir （TGR）, formed by China＇s Yangtze Three Gorges Project, is the largest lake in the world, but there is too little information available about fecal contamination and waterborne pathogen impacts on this aquatic ecosystem. During two successive 1-year study periods （July 2009 to July 2011）, the water quality in Wanzhou watershed of the TGR was tested with regard to the presence of fecal indicators and pathogens. According to Chinese and World Health Organization water quality standards, water quality in the mainstream was good but poor in backwater areas. Salmonella, Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli （EHEC）, Giardia and Cryptosporidium were detected in the watershed. Prevalence and concentrations of the pathogens in the mainstream were lower than those in backwater areas. The estimated risk of infection with Salmonella, EHEC, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia per exposure event ranged from 2.9 × 10 -7 to 1.68 × 10-5 , 7.04 × 10-10 to 2.36 × 10-7 , 5.39 × 10-6 to 1.25 × 10-4 and 0 to 1.2 × 10-3 , respectively, for occupational divers and recreational swimmers exposed to the waters. The estimated risk of infection at exposure to the 95% upper confidence limit concentrations of Salmonella, Cryptosporidium and Giardia may be up to 2.62 × 10-5 , 2.55 × 10-4 and 2.86 × 10-3 , respectively. This study provides useful information for the residents, health care workers and managers to improve the safety of surface water and reduce the risk of fecal contamination in the TGR.

文摘To better investigate the degradation and biocompatibility of waterborne biodegradable polyurethanes for tissue engineering, a series of new waterborne biodegradable polyurethanes （PEGPUs） with low degree of crosslinking was synthesized using IPDI, BDO and L-lysine as hard segments, PCL and PEG as soft segment. The bulk structures and properties of the prepared polyurethanes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, differential scanning calorimetry （DSC）, tensile mechanical tests and water contact angle （WCA） measurements. The degree of microphase separation was slightly improved because of the lowered crosslinking degree of these PEGPUs in comparison with the high cross-linking degree samples, leading to good mechanical properties, as indicated by DSC and stress-strain data. Moreover, biodegradability of the polyurethanes was evaluated in phosphate buffer solutions （PBS） under different pH values and enzymatic solution at pH 7.4 through weight loss monitoring. The results suggested that the degradation of these PEGPUs was closely related to their bulk and surface properties. And the degradation products didn＇t show apparent inhibition effect against fibroblasts in vitro. These studies demonstrated that the waterborne biodegradable polyurethanes could find potential use in soft tissue engineering and tissue regeneration.

文摘A series of stable waterborne polysiloxaneurethane （WPSUR） dispersions were prepared using amino-terminated polydimethylsiloxane （NS）, dimethylolpropionic acid （DMPA）, castor oil, polypropylene glycol and toluene diisocyanate. Meanwhile, NS with different molecular weights was synthesized and used as the soft co-segment. Effects of types and contents of soft co-segments as well as chain extenders on the thermal degradation and stability for WPSUR films were examined. Results reveal that WPSUR films exhibit excellent water resistance and mechanical properties as compared with pure polyurethane （PU） films, and the NS soft co-segment possesses a remarkable effect on the second stage （stage Ⅱ）, while the content of the hard segment is propitious to the initial stage （stage Ⅰ）. Moreover, the highest temperature of stage Ⅱ （T2m） for WPSUR films using NS as soft co-segment is 413℃, approximately being 30℃ higher than that of those typical PUs using HDA and APDMS as the chain extenders, respectively.

文摘waterborne polyurethane (WPU) dispersions have gained attention towards environm entally-friendly synthesis. In this article, a series of waterborne polyurethane em ulsions was successfully synthesized and extensively characterized in terms of thermal, mechanical properties, hydrophilic behavior and morphology. Snowwas chosen as dispersant instead of comm only used water. Preparation param eters such as intrinsic properties and molecular weight of polyols were discussed systematically. A chain structure was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. when com paring the nature of the polyols (PPG, PEG and PNA, 2000g/mol) of this study, as-synthesized polyether waterborne polyurethane provided higher solid content, viscosity and water-resistance. However, polyester waterborne polyurethane perform ed differently and it exhibited higher therm al stability and crystallinity. When com paring the samples (WPU-N210, WPU-N220, WPU-N230 and WPU-N240) with different molecular weight of the same polyol (PPG) used as soft segment, the emulsion WPU-N220 with molecular weight of 2000g/mol PPG provided the highest solid content and lowest viscosity. It was observed th at particle size was uniform and highly dispersed for all sam ples from TEM images. Therm ogravim etric, differential scanning calorim etry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction results dem onstrated that the emulsion WPU-N230 with m olecular weight of 3000 g/mol PPG possessed higher therm al stability and crystallinity than the other samples. The reason was that the Tg and thermal stability were increased with increasing molecular weight. when molecular weight increased, the arrangem ent of soft segm ent became more regular and so did the regularity of the molecular chains. This work demonstrated that different polyols as soft segment applied could lead to great differences in the structure and property of the resulting WPU.

文摘In this study, to improve hemocompatibility of biomedical materials, a waterborne polyurethane （WPU）haepafin release coating system （WPU/heparin） is fabricated via simply blending biodegradable WPU emulsions with heparin aqueous solutions. The surface compositions and hydrophilicity of these WPU/heparin blend coatings are characterized by attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy （ATR-FTIR） and water contact angle measurements. These WPU/heparin blend coatings show effectively controlled release of heparin, as determined by the toluidine blue method. Furthermore, the biocompatibility and anticoagulant activity of these blend coatings are evaluated based on the protein adsorption, platelet adhesion, activated partial thromboplastin time （APTT）, thrombin time （TT）, hemolysis, and cytotoxicity. The results indicate that better hemocompatibility and cytocompatilibity are obtained due to blending heparin into this waterborne polyurethane. Thus, the WPU/heparin blend coating system is expected to be valuable for various biomedical applications.

文摘Graphene （G） was dispersed uniformly in water and used as an inhibitor in waterborne epoxy coatings. The effect of dispersed G on anticorrosion performance of epoxy coatings was evaluated. The composite coatings displayed outstanding barrier properties against H20 molecule compared to the neat epoxy coating. Open circuit potential （OCP）, Tafel and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） analysis confirmed that the corrosion rate exhibited by composite coatings with 0.5 wt% G was an order of magnitude lower than that of neat epoxy coating. Salt spray test results revealed superior corrosion resistance offered by the composite coating.
