The influence of viscosity for copolymer solution under different reaction conditions such as temperatures and inorganic salt （monovalent salt and divalent salt） was analyzed. The experiment studies the combination of polymer situation and three different types of surfactants under certain conditions of the room temperature （25℃） and the formation temperature （76℃）. At last, the influence of the surfactant kinds and concentration on the viscosity of the polymer solution are studied. The results show that： The copolymer solution, the apparent viscosity of which decreases with the increasement of temperature, but its viscosity has suddenly increased and thereafter dropped in the transition temperature. So the temperature sensitive effect ofcopolymer is very significantly. When the concentration of inorganic salt and surfactant can be controlled in certain extent, the copolymer solution, the effect increases with the increasement of the concentration, but the viscosity of which decreases with the increasement of shear rate. Shear rate can be controlled in certain extent, shearing stability properties of the copolymer solution are proved.展开更多

However, the present commonly used water-soluble polymers in fracturing fluids su er from poor tolerance to high temperature and high salinity. Thermoviscosifying polymers(TVP) whose aqueous solution shows viscosity increase upon increasing temperature and salt concentration have received considerable attention recently, which is promising for utilization in fracturing fluids to overcome these problems. In this work, both the salt-induced viscosifying property and mechanism of a TVP solution were investigated and the performance of TVP used as fracturing fluid based on the conditions of the Jianghan inter-salt shale oil reservoir in China was evaluated. It is found that the salt-induced viscosifying property of the TVP solution decreases with temperature and shear rate, but increases with polymer concentration. The number of intermolecular hydrophobic domains increases with the salt concentration contributing to the strengthening of a 3D network structure, which results in an increase in viscosity. In addition, the TVP fracturing fluid formulated with saturated brine exhibits excellent temperature and shear resistance, sand-suspending performance, and gel-breaking performance. Its viscosity remains above50 m Pa s after being sheared for 1 h even at a high temperature of 140 °C and the sand-suspending stability can be maintained for more than 1 week at 100 °C. Furthermore, the fracturing fluid can be easily broken down within 12h using 0.2 wt%–0.3 wt% potassium persulfate without residue.展开更多

It is found that the isothermal crystallization time(tIC) of PBS has an effect on the crystallization behavior of PTMO component. Perturbation correlation move-window two-dimensional(PCMW2 D) correlation analysis and generalized 2 D correlation analysis(2 DIR) were performed to explore the origin of this phenomenon. The PCMW2 D and 2 DIR results show that the correlation intensity peak observed at around 20 ℃ for PTMO is due to the PTMO chains movements forced by the PBS chains folded movements. If tIC of PBS at temperature of 20 ℃ is prolonged, more PTMO components are incorporated in the region between PBS lamellae and the peak at-7.6 ℃(belonging to less-constricted PTMO chains) changes smaller and even disappears, while the peak at-16.3 ℃ belonging to more-constricted PTMO chains gets bigger. A crystallization model was also established in this study. The results of tensile testing showed that tensile strength slightly increased and elongation at break decreased with increasing heat treatment time at 40 ℃.展开更多

The formation of a unique segregated conductive network endowed the PASS/GNP composites with high electrical conductivity and excellent electromagnetic interference(EMI) shielding effectiveness(SE), reaching 17.8 S/m and 30.1 d B, respectively, when the content of the GNPs in the conductive layer was 20 wt%. The PASS/GNP composites also exhibited outstanding mechanical properties, which was attributed to the continuous PASS fiber skeletons that could withstand large loads and the strong interfacial interaction between the conductive layers and the PASS fibers that could provide good stress transfer. This approach is suitable for most soluble polymers.展开更多

In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) core-on-a-chip device with a permeability of around 200 mD was prepared and employed to visualize the pore-scale flow and displacement of a self-adaptive polymer (SAP, 8.7 × 106 g·mol−1)−whose microscopic association structure and macroscopic viscosity can reversibly change in response to shear action−versus partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), by recording their flow curves, monitoring dynamic transportation process via particle imaging velocimetry, and building 3D structure of remaining oil. The results show that, in single-phase flow, all polymer solutions exhibit flow thinning and then thickening regions as flow rate increases, but the transition between two regimes occurs at a small Weissenberg number (10−3−10−1) in this medium-permeable condition. In contrast to HPAM-1 with close weight-average molecular weight (Mw), the adaptive character not only extends SAP's shear-govern region, allowing SAP to propagate piece by piece and achieve higher accessible pore volume, but it also enhances the elastic resistibility of polymer in the extension-dominated regime, increasing the microscopic displacement efficiency. These two effects result in 1.5–3 times more oil recovery factor for SAP than for HPAM-1. Regarding ultra-high-Mw HPAM-2 (25 × 106 g·mol−1), plugging and chain degradation do occur, thus producing lower oil recovery than SAP. This work provides a direct approach for in-situ assessment of polymer-based displacing system under a more authentic condition of practical reservoirs.展开更多

The relationship between the micro-structure and performance of the elastomer composites prepared by one-step and two-step methods was explored. The results show that the two-step method significantly promoted the dispersion of the GO in a polymer matrix, and facilitated the grafting of more hard molecular chains. Thus, the elastic modulus and tensile strength of the nanocomposite have been significantly improved by the presence of GO. This was because of the strong interaction between the functional groups on the surface of the GO and the hard molecular chains. This would be also be favorable to load transfer across the interface. Additionally, the elongation at the break of composites increased by 10% with the addition of a small amount of GO(0.2% wt). This is because hard domains tend to be enriched on the surface of GO in composites and act as a lubricating layer at the interface between the GO and matrix, leading to increased deformation ability. This work provides an effective strategy to prepare elastomer composites with high strength and toughness.展开更多

文摘The advancement of aqueous zinc metal batteries(ZMBs)is constrained by intrinsic interfacial issues in aqueous electrolyte systems.Here,using numerical simulation,we decipher the multi-scale causes of interfacial instability,elucidating the synergistic effect of macroscopic ineffective regions and microscopic passivation.Based on the analysis,we develop an electrolyte-triggered interphase construction strategy to resolve the interfacial failure.This strategy couples the in situ formation of hydrogel interphase on both the anode and cathode with the electrolyte filling process,thereby(1)facilitating contact between electrodes and the separator;(2)promoting anode reversibility through inducing a bilayer SEI that enhances Zn^(2+)desolvation kinetics and blocks electron tunneling;(3)ensuring long-term cathode cycling stability via restricting the irreversible dissolution of MnO_(2)and side-reactions.The resultant Zn metal anode exhibited a near-unity Coulombic efficiency(99.5%)for Zn plating/stripping at an extremely low current density of 0.1 mA cm^(-2)and the Zn/MnO_(2)full cell sustained 2000 full-duty-cycles with an exceptionally low decay rate of 0.0051%per-cycle.This work unlocks an alternative angle for promoting practical ZMB s toward more sustainable energy storage systems.

文摘To shield electronics from complicated electromagnetic environments caused by wireless electromagnetic waves,achieving elaborately structural manufacturing while not sacrificing electromagnetic interference shielding performances remains crucial challenges.Herein,we propose a hierarchical manufacturing method that combines the use of 3D printing shear flow field and layer-by-layer assembly for fabricating the structurally customizable and multifunctional polylactic acid@graphene nanoparticle(PLA@GNs)materials.The dynamic behavior of polymer fluids is firstly explored via computational fluid dynamic simulation,and a Weissenberg number is employed to quantitatively analyze the disordered-to-ordered structural evolution of molecular chains and nanoparticles,allowing to tailor the micro-scale ordered structures.Subsequently,the macro-scale 3D architectures of PLA@GNs modules are fabricated by layer-by-layer assembly.Owing to the aligned GNs,the shielding performance reaches 41.2 d B,simultaneously accompanied by a directional thermal conductivity of 3.2 W m^(-1)K^(-1).Moreover,the potential application of 3D-printed shielding modules in specific civilian frequency bands such as 4G(1800–2100 MHz),Bluetooth(2402–2480 MHz),and 5G(3300–3800 MHz)is fully demonstrated.Overall,this work not only establishes a universal methodology about 3D printing shear flow field-driven orientation of two-dimensional nanoparticles within polymer fluids,but also gives a scientific method for advanced manufacturing of the next-generation electromagnetic functional modules for smart electronics.

文摘Practical application of lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries is hindered by the migration of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs),sluggish conversion kinetics,and anode instability.In these regards,with a novel strategy focusing on the selective elevation of d-orbitals,Mn/Fe dual-atom catalysts(MnFe DACs)embedded in Ndoped carbon frameworks are designed.Theoretical calculations reveal that energy levels of d_(z2),d_(zx),and d_(yz)orbitals participating in d-p hybridization are elevated closer to the Fermi level at both Mn and Fe sites,thereby reducing orbital occupancy in antibonding states.Consequently,these electronic features via the selective d-orbital elevation enable enhanced adsorption strength toward intermediate LiPSs and accelerate redox reaction during cell operation.Also,the MnFe DAC improves anode stability by regulating Li-ion flux with its lithiophilic active sites.Specifically,the cell equipped with MnFe DAC-modified separator maintains a capacity of 758.4 mAh g^(-1)after 400 cycles at 0.5 C.Notably,the cell demonstrates a high initial capacity of 822.7 mAh g^(-1)with only 0.047%decay rate over 1000 cycles at 1 C.Even under high sulfur-loading(5.0 mg cm^(-2))and low electrolyte-to-sulfur(E/S)ratio(6μL mg^(-1)),a high initial areal capacity of 4.94 m Ah cm^(-2)with 92.5%retention after 50 cycles at 0.1 C is achieved.This study provides guidelines on selective modulation of d-orbitals in DACs for high-performance Li-S batteries.

文摘Inter-salt shale oil reservoirs located between two salt layers are always accompanied by high temperature and high salinity. However, the present commonly used water-soluble polymers in fracturing fluids su er from poor tolerance to high temperature and high salinity. Thermoviscosifying polymers(TVP) whose aqueous solution shows viscosity increase upon increasing temperature and salt concentration have received considerable attention recently, which is promising for utilization in fracturing fluids to overcome these problems. In this work, both the salt-induced viscosifying property and mechanism of a TVP solution were investigated and the performance of TVP used as fracturing fluid based on the conditions of the Jianghan inter-salt shale oil reservoir in China was evaluated. It is found that the salt-induced viscosifying property of the TVP solution decreases with temperature and shear rate, but increases with polymer concentration. The number of intermolecular hydrophobic domains increases with the salt concentration contributing to the strengthening of a 3D network structure, which results in an increase in viscosity. In addition, the TVP fracturing fluid formulated with saturated brine exhibits excellent temperature and shear resistance, sand-suspending performance, and gel-breaking performance. Its viscosity remains above50 m Pa s after being sheared for 1 h even at a high temperature of 140 °C and the sand-suspending stability can be maintained for more than 1 week at 100 °C. Furthermore, the fracturing fluid can be easily broken down within 12h using 0.2 wt%–0.3 wt% potassium persulfate without residue.

文摘A series of aliphatic biodegradable poly（ether-ester）s based on poly（butylene succinate）（PBS）as hard segment and poly（tetramethylene oxide）（PTMO,M_n=1 000 g/mol） as soft segment were synthesized.The composition dependence of thermal behavior,morphology and mechanical properties was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry（DSC）,atomic force microscopy（AFM）,and tensile testing.The crystallization temperature（T_c） and melting temperature（T_m） of the PBS block within poly（ether-ester）s decrease steadily at first,but decrease sharply with PTMO content above 50 wt%.Two crystallization peaks were detected for PTMO in PBSPTMO60 sample,suggesting the occurrence of fractionated crystallization.The crystallization enthalpies（△H_c） and melting enthalpies（△H_m） of PBS block decrease at first,then increase as PTMO content increases further.AFM has demonstrated that phase-separated morphology transforms from a phase of continuous hard matrix to one of continuous soft matrix containing isolated hard domain as PTMO content is increased.Finally,the results of tensile testing show that the poly（ether-ester）s present the behavior of plastics when PTMO content is below 40 wt%,and of thermoplastic elastomers with PTMO content above 50 wt%.By varying the composition of copolymer,the aliphatic poly（ether-ester）s plastics,or especially biodegradable aliphatic poly（ether-ester）s thermoplastic elastomers can be obtained.

文摘The effect of crystallization conditions of poly(butylene succinate)(PBS) component on the crystallization of poly(tetramethylene oxide)(PTMO) component in their segment block copolymer, with a higher PTMO content(PTMO mass fraction is 67%), was investigated by DSC and temperature-dependent FTIR. It is found that the isothermal crystallization time(tIC) of PBS has an effect on the crystallization behavior of PTMO component. Perturbation correlation move-window two-dimensional(PCMW2 D) correlation analysis and generalized 2 D correlation analysis(2 DIR) were performed to explore the origin of this phenomenon. The PCMW2 D and 2 DIR results show that the correlation intensity peak observed at around 20 ℃ for PTMO is due to the PTMO chains movements forced by the PBS chains folded movements. If tIC of PBS at temperature of 20 ℃ is prolonged, more PTMO components are incorporated in the region between PBS lamellae and the peak at-7.6 ℃(belonging to less-constricted PTMO chains) changes smaller and even disappears, while the peak at-16.3 ℃ belonging to more-constricted PTMO chains gets bigger. A crystallization model was also established in this study. The results of tensile testing showed that tensile strength slightly increased and elongation at break decreased with increasing heat treatment time at 40 ℃.
文摘With the aim of developing a low-cost and efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst for radical polymerization,iron-chelating polyimide networks(Fe@MPI)was fabricated by firstly synthesizing photoactive melamine-containing polyimide(MPI)networks and then incorporating Fe(III)cations into the polymer networks.Fe@MPI exhibits a wide absorption spectrum ranging from 220 to 1250 nm and 3.5 times higher photocurrent intensity as compared with the pristine MPI.Based on its excellent photo-electric properties,Fe@MPI was employed as a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst,providing sufficient activity for the visible-light driven radical polymerization to synthesize poly(methyl methacrylate)with molecular weight up to 31.×10^4 g mol.Taking advantage of the heterogeneous nature of the catalyst,Fe@MPI could be facilely regenerated from the polymerization solution by filtration without an obvious loss of its activity.This research provides a novel recyclable catalyst for visible-light driven radical polymerization.

文摘Poly(arylene sulfide sulfone)/graphene nanoplate(PASS/GNP) composites with segregated structure based on continuous polymer fiber skeletons were fabricated by coating a thin conductive layer on the PASS fibers and then performing compression molding. The formation of a unique segregated conductive network endowed the PASS/GNP composites with high electrical conductivity and excellent electromagnetic interference(EMI) shielding effectiveness(SE), reaching 17.8 S/m and 30.1 d B, respectively, when the content of the GNPs in the conductive layer was 20 wt%. The PASS/GNP composites also exhibited outstanding mechanical properties, which was attributed to the continuous PASS fiber skeletons that could withstand large loads and the strong interfacial interaction between the conductive layers and the PASS fibers that could provide good stress transfer. This approach is suitable for most soluble polymers.

文摘Polymer flooding has been witnessed an effective technology for enhancing oil recovery from medium-to low-permeability reservoirs;however, direct visualization of polymer solution flow in such reservoir condition is still lacking. In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) core-on-a-chip device with a permeability of around 200 mD was prepared and employed to visualize the pore-scale flow and displacement of a self-adaptive polymer (SAP, 8.7 × 106 g·mol−1)−whose microscopic association structure and macroscopic viscosity can reversibly change in response to shear action−versus partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM), by recording their flow curves, monitoring dynamic transportation process via particle imaging velocimetry, and building 3D structure of remaining oil. The results show that, in single-phase flow, all polymer solutions exhibit flow thinning and then thickening regions as flow rate increases, but the transition between two regimes occurs at a small Weissenberg number (10−3−10−1) in this medium-permeable condition. In contrast to HPAM-1 with close weight-average molecular weight (Mw), the adaptive character not only extends SAP's shear-govern region, allowing SAP to propagate piece by piece and achieve higher accessible pore volume, but it also enhances the elastic resistibility of polymer in the extension-dominated regime, increasing the microscopic displacement efficiency. These two effects result in 1.5–3 times more oil recovery factor for SAP than for HPAM-1. Regarding ultra-high-Mw HPAM-2 (25 × 106 g·mol−1), plugging and chain degradation do occur, thus producing lower oil recovery than SAP. This work provides a direct approach for in-situ assessment of polymer-based displacing system under a more authentic condition of practical reservoirs.

文摘The tireless pursuit of supercapacitors with high energy density entails the parallel advancement of wellsuited electrode materials and elaborately engineered architectures.Polypyrrole(PPy)emerges as an exceedingly conductive polymer and a prospective pseudocapacitive materials for supercapacitors,yet the inferior cyclic stability and unpredictable polymerization patterns severely impede its real-world applicability.Here,for the first time,an innovative seed-induced in-situ polymerization assisted 3D printing strategy is proposed to fabricate PPy-reduced graphene oxide/poly(vinylidene difluoride-cohexafluoropropylene)(PVDF-HFP)(PPy-rGO/PH)electrodes with controllable polymerization behavior and exceptional areal mass loading.The preferred active sites uniformly pre-planted on the 3D-printed graphene substrates serve as reliable seeds to induce efficient polypyrrole deposition,achieving an impressive mass loading of 185.6 mg cm^(-2)(particularly 79.2 mg cm^(-2)for polypyrrole)and a superior areal capacitance of 25.2 F cm^(-2)at 2 mA cm^(-2)for a 12-layer electrode.In agreement with theses appealing features,an unprecedented areal energy density of 1.47 mW h cm^(-2)for a symmetrical device is registered,a rarely achieved value for other PPy/rGO-based supercapacitors.This work highlights a promising route to preparing high energy density energy storage modules for real-world applications.
文摘The kinetics of ultrasonic degradation of aqueous solution of polyacrylamide（PAM）and poly（ethyleneoxide）（PEO）as well as ultrasonic block copolymerization of aqueous solution of the mixture of PAM/PEOwere studied respectively.The degradation reaction of PEO follows a linear relationship between（P1-P∞）-1and irradiation time,while that of PAM follows a linear relationship between（P1-P∞）-1/2and irradiation time.The structure of the copolymer was identified by IR,NMR and DTA,and the copolymer prepared is a blockone.The copolymer formed by irradiating 1% aqueous solution of PEO/PAM mixture（1:1）for a period of40min.at 18.2 kHz with a sonic intensity corresponding to 2.OA input current on the reversed main circuitamounts to 61.8%.

文摘The increasing demand for short charging time on electric vehicles has motivated realization of fast chargeable lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).However,shortening the charging time of LIBs is limited by Li^(+)intercalation process consisting of liquid-phase diffusion,de-solvation,SEI crossing,and solid-phase diffusion.Herein,we propose a new strategy to accelerate the de-solvation step through a control of interaction between polymeric binder and solvent-Li^(+)complexes.For this purpose,three alkali metal ions(Li^(+),Na^(+),and K^(+))substituted carboxymethyl cellulose(Li-,Na-,and K-CMC)are prepared to examine the effects of metal ions on their performances.The lowest activation energy of de-solvation and the highest chemical diffusion coefficient were observed for Li-CMC.Specifically,Li-CMC cell with a capacity of 3 mAh cm^(-2)could be charged to>95%in 10 min,while a value above>85%was observed after 150 cycles.Thus,the presented approach holds great promise for the realization of fast charging.

文摘Poly(decamethylene terephthalamide/decamethylene isophthalamide)-block-polyvinyl alcoho)(PA10 T/10 IPEG) copolymer/graphene oxide(GO) composites were prepared via in-situ melt polymerization and two different nano-filler addition approaches were compared. The relationship between the micro-structure and performance of the elastomer composites prepared by one-step and two-step methods was explored. The results show that the two-step method significantly promoted the dispersion of the GO in a polymer matrix, and facilitated the grafting of more hard molecular chains. Thus, the elastic modulus and tensile strength of the nanocomposite have been significantly improved by the presence of GO. This was because of the strong interaction between the functional groups on the surface of the GO and the hard molecular chains. This would be also be favorable to load transfer across the interface. Additionally, the elongation at the break of composites increased by 10% with the addition of a small amount of GO(0.2% wt). This is because hard domains tend to be enriched on the surface of GO in composites and act as a lubricating layer at the interface between the GO and matrix, leading to increased deformation ability. This work provides an effective strategy to prepare elastomer composites with high strength and toughness.

文摘As the application scenarios of aerogels expand,higher requirements are put forward for the materials used to prepare aerogels.Due to the unique chemical structure,polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)has excellent properties such as high-temperature resistance,hydrophobicity,and chemical stability.However,the PTFE aerogels are difficult to be molded due to the weak interaction between resin particles.In this work,poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)was selected as the carrier to assist the PTFE aerogels molding.The pure PTFE aerogels were prepared by homogeneously mixing PTFE aqueous dispersion and PEO,freeze-drying,and high-temperature sintering.When the mass fraction of PTFE and PEO were appropriate,the porosity of PTFE aerogels exceeded 90%and had a hierarchical honeycomb structure.Results showed that the PTFE aerogels not only had excellent hydrophobicity but also possessed superior acoustic insulation,mechanical strength,thermal insulation,and heat resistance properties.Specifically,the water contact angle is about 140°.The noise reduction coefficient is 0.34 and the average sound absorption coefficient is greater than 88%in the frequency range of 2000-6400 Hz.Meanwhile,the thermal conductivity in the air is about 0.045 W/(m·K),and the initial thermal decomposition temperature is 450℃.More importantly,the PTFE aerogels had excellent temperature and corrosion resistance.Even after extremely thermal and chemical treatment,they remained unchanged porous structure as well as acoustic and thermal insulation properties,which exhibits great potential for application in many harsh environments.

文摘Herein,we report the multi-metal atomic catalysts for solid-state dehydrogenation of MgH_(2).It aims to reveal the multi-element synergy in catalysts for solid-state hydrogen storage.The kinetic measurements and fitting reveal two mechanisms:one shows a maximum rate at the early stage,such as V and Cr;the other needs a temperature-sensitive preparation time for its maximum rate,such as Ni.The combina-tion of two catalyst components demonstrates the best kinetics:V and Cr boost the initial dehydrogena-tion,and Ni benefits the further hydrogen transfer which alleviates the rate of decay.This work provides guidelines for the design of multi-element doped catalysts for MgH_(2) dehydrogenation.
