Carboxylated polystyrene particles were synthesized by batch emulsion copolymerization of styrene (St) and methacrylic acid (MAA) at 70 °C for 7 h. The effects of introducing time and amount of emulsifier SDS on the polymerization and properties of polymer particles were investigated. Results showed...

The non-linear creep behavior of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB)-based polymer bonded explosives (PBXs) with different binder content has been measured under different stresses and temperatures. Reduced creep strain and steady-state creep strain rate and prolonged creep failure time were...

Thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate has been studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The complementary application of the isoconversional method and model-fitting method has been used for deriving the kinetic triplet (activation energy [E], frequency factor [A], and model) from the TGA experiment....

Amphiphilic fluorocopolymers P(MMA)-co-P(PEGMA)-co-P(DFHM) are prepared via ATRP by hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA), hydrophobic dodecafluorohrptyl methacrylate (DFHM) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). The self-assembled surface is characterized by chemical composition,...

Chestnut shell pigment was employed to modify a polyacrylamide superabsorbent. The synthesis was conducted through free-radical polymerization in aqueous solutions by using N, N'-methylene bisacrylamide and ammonium persulfate as a crosslinker and an initiator, respectively. This work focused on the...

Pulse thermography has been proved an effective method for the quality testing of coating materials. Surface temperature variations not only reveal the shape and position of the defect, but also reflect the property of the second layer. In this paper, the relationship between surface temperature and...

Silica gels catalysts containing undecatungstocobaltoindic heteropoly acid were prepared by means of sol-gel method. Infrared spectra revealed that the Keggin structure characteristic of InCoW11O397- anion was present in the silica gel skeleton. The regularity of the change of the characteristic peaks...

The consecutive layer of a nickel alloy was deposited onto a GH864 nickel-based superalloy gas turbine engine blade using laser cladding. To ensure the performance of blade, the gas turbine with laser cladding repaired blades worked two weeks and a detailed measurement and investigation were performed...

In this paper, different exciting methodsof active thermography, including the pulsed flash lamp exciting, halogen lamp step heating and ultrasonic exciting, were applied to detect different kinds of defects according to their different heat build-up properties. The results showed in the paper reveal...

To change the combustion performance of polystyrene plates, the thermosetting phenolic resin/Al(OH)3 solution retardant, a method of flame retardant coating was used. By the analysis of the main preparation process, a kind of thermosetting polystyrene insulation board was made, and the problem between...

In this paper, -isotactic polypropylene ( -iPP) samples were prepared by adding two nucleating agents with different particle sizes (NT-C and ST-C). The melting, crystallization and mechanical properties of -iPP samples were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and mechanical...

he Oxy-fuel combustion of Yunfu bituminous (YFB) chars was studied by isothermal thermogravimetric experiments at 1273K-1573K. The surface area of coal chars prepared at different stages of Oxy-fuel combustion was determined by BET methods. The pyrolysis temperature leads to a slight increase in the...

Nanostructured semiconducting metal oxide (SMO) gas sensor can be fabricated with flame synthesis by combusting a premixed fuel-oxidizer mixture doped with a selected metal precursor in the stagnation flow configuration. Particle size and film thickness of the SMO sensor are the most significant parameters...

Two kinds of Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) resins (ABS749S and ABS757) were manufactured as MCPA6/ABS copolymer alloys by in situ polymerization and their crystallization properties were analyzed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The DSC results indicated that ABS did not change coexistence...
