RESUMO

There is a growing demand for the development of epoxy resin modified with biomaterials, aiming to achieve high toughness. Herein, chitosan crosslinked epoxy resin (CE) was synthesized by diisocyanate as a bridge. With 4,4'-diamino-diphenylmethane (DDM) as the curing agent, thanks to the unique cross-linking structure of the CE resin and the presence of carbamate groups, the cured CE/DDM exhibited superior properties compared to commercially available epoxy resin (E51). The tensile strength of the cured CE-3/DDM reached 90.17 MPa, the elongation at break was 11.2 %, and the critical stress intensity factor (KIC) measured 1.78 MPa m1/2. These values were 21.4 %, 151.6 %, and 81.6 % higher than those of the cured E51/DDM, respectively. It is worth noting that the addition of biomass material chitosan did not reduce the thermal stability of the resin. Additionally, the CE coatings on the metal substrate exhibited exceptional corrosion resistance, as evidenced by higher impedance values in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and polarization voltages in the Tafel curve compared to those of the E51 coating. This study opens up a novel approach to modifying epoxy resin with biomass materials with high toughness and corrosion resistance, without sacrificing other performance.

RESUMO

Chitosan derivatives with two different phenylcarbamate pendants at the 6-position and 2,3-positions of the glucosamine unit were synthesized by triphenylmethyl as a protective group. The regioselective chitosan derivatives were prepared corresponding to coated-type chiral packed materials (CPMs), which were evaluated with thirteen chiral compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The regioselective chitosan derivatives (4aⅠ/4aⅡ, 4bⅠ/4bⅡ) bearing electron-withdrawing 3,5­chloro or 4­chloro at the 6-position can recognize 7 or 8 of the 13 enantiomers and achieve baseline separation for enantiomers 5 and 7. They exhibited better chiral recognition abilities than the other derivatives with different substituents at the 6-position and the same 3,5-dimethylphenyl substituent at the 2,3-postion. In comparison to Chit-1 featuring a 3,5-dimethylphenyl substituent at the 2,3- and 6-positions, it was observed that the combination of both an electron-withdrawing and an electron-donating substituent of the regioselective chitosan derivatives (4aⅠ/4aⅡ, 4bⅠ/4bⅡ) showed better or similar enantioseparation abilities for racemic Compounds 7 and 6, respectively. The molecular weight-performance relationship of the regioselective chitosan derivatives was investigated in detail. It was found that with increasing molecular weight, the derivatives 4aⅡ and 4bⅡ all possessed greater enantioseparation power for 4 enantiomers, such as enantiomers 4, 7, 11, and 15, than the corresponding derivatives with low molecular weights. The molecular docking simulation results showed that excellent enantioseparation power significantly depended on the combination and interaction of multiple factors, such as steric hindrance, and polarity of the substituents on the CPMs and enantiomers.

RESUMO

Pressure-induced phases of ZnO have attracted considerable attention owing to their excellent electronic and optical properties. This study provides a vital insight into the electronic structure, optical characteristics, and structural properties of the AsTi (Bi) phase of ZnO under high pressure via the DFT-based first-principles approach. The phase transformation from BN(Bk) to the Bi phase of ZnO is estimated at 16.1 GPa using local density approximation, whereas the properties are explored precisely by the hybrid functional B3LYP. The electronic structure exploration confirms that the Bi phase is an insulator with a wider direct bandgap, which expands by increasing pressure. The dielectric function evidenced that the Bi phase behaves as a dielectric in the visible region and a metallic material at 18 eV. Optical features such as the refractive index and loss function revealed the transparent nature of the Bi phase in the UV range. Moreover, the considered Bi phase is found to possess a high absorption coefficient in the ultraviolet region. This research provides strong theoretical support for the development of Bi-phase ZnO-based optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices.

RESUMO

MAX phases have exhibited diverse physical properties, inspiring their promising applications in several important research fields. The introduction of a chalcogen atom into a phase of MAX has further facilitated the modulation of their physical properties and the extension of MAX family diversity. The physical characteristics of the novel chalcogen-containing MAX 211 phase Zr2SeB and Zr2SeN have been systematically investigated. The present investigation is conducted from a multi-faceted perspective that encompasses the stability, electronic structure, and mechanical properties of the system, via the employment of the first-principles density functional theory methodology. By replacing C with B/N in the chalcogen-containing MAX phase, it has been shown that their corresponding mechanical properties are appropriately tuned, which may offer a way to design novel MAX phase materials with enriched properties. In order to assess the dynamical and mechanical stability of the systems under investigation, a thorough evaluation has been carried out based on the analysis of phonon dispersions and elastic constants conditions. The predicted results reveal a strong interaction between zirconium and boron or nitrogen within the structures of Zr2SeB and Zr2SeN. The calculated band structures and electronic density of states for Zr2SeB and Zr2SeN demonstrate their metallic nature and anisotropic conductivity. The theoretically estimated Pugh and Poisson ratios imply that these phases are characterized by brittleness.

RESUMO

The copper-peroxy complex (Cu-OOSO3-) metastable intermediate has been confirmed to oxidize contaminants via a single-electron-transfer pathway or an oxygen-atom-transfer pathway. And the effects of Cu oxidation states and reaction pH conditions on the intermediate properties have not been explored in depth. Here, copper oxide (CuOx) catalysts with different Cu oxidation states were synthesized by a simple precipitation method by controlling the reaction temperature from 0 to 45 °C. CuOx displayed a strong catalytic dependence on the Cu oxidation state, and CuOx-30 with Cu average valence on the catalyst surface of 1.61 was more reactive for catalytic degradation of bisphenol A with peroxymonosulfate (PMS). Notably, CuOx-30, with the best electron-accepting ability, was easier to bonding with PMS to form the Cu-OOSO3- reactive complex, and the generated intermediate exhibited the strongest capacity to obtain electrons from contaminants. Moreover, the electron-transfer pathways were closely related to the average valence of Cu, and the contribution of the oxygen-atom-transfer pathway changed volcanic with increasing Cu valence. Meanwhile, the reaction predominantly involved the oxygen-atom-transfer pathway under acidic conditions (pH=3), while the contribution of the single-electron-transfer pathway raised with increasing pH values. Hence, this work was devoted to providing new insights into the CuOx-inducing PMS activation and vital supplementary to the properties of the Cu-OOSO3- intermediate.

RESUMO

Chitosan 2-thiourea derivatives with various substituents, including 3-(methylthio)propyl, phenyl, octyl and ethoxycarbonyl, at the 2-position of the glucosamine skeleton were prepared via isothiocyanates with the above substituents. The obtained chitosan 2-thiourea derivatives without ethoxycarbonyl were then esterified to develop a new series of chitosan 2-thiourea-3,6-diphenylcarbamate derivatives. The enantioseparation properties of the obtained chitosan derivatives were examined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These results demonstrated that these chitosan 2-[3-(methylthio)propylthiourea]-3,6-diphenylcarbamate derivatives showed attractive chiral recognition abilities, especially for dihydropyridine calcium antagonist racemates. This result was probably attributed to the fact that the 2-thiourea substituents of this series of chitosan derivatives, as well as the 3,6-phenylcarbamate substituents, provided more favorable sites, which evidently enhanced the interactions between the enantiomers and the chitosan derivatives. The mechanism involved in the enantioseparation of the chitosan 2-[3-(methylthio)propylthiourea]-3,6-diphenylcarbamate derivatives was further discussed by molecular docking simulation.

RESUMO

Photocatalytic NO3- reduction in water has been regarded as a promising route due to its high efficiency and green feature. Several limiting factors, such as lack of catalytic sites, insufficient light collection, and spatial charge separation capacity photocatalytic denitrification, still need to be overcome for the practical applications. Herein, an innovative LiNbO3/ZnS heterojunction with a unilateral opening core-shell structure was constructed. ZnS was tightly anchored on the surface of LiNbO3 by modified electrostatic self-assembly method. High nitrate removal rate (98.84%) and N2 selectivity (98.92%) were achieved with a molar ratio of LiNbO3 and ZnS of 1:5 (1:5L-ZS) using formic acid as a hole scavenge. The LiNbO3/ZnS degradation kinetics of NO3- was corresponding to the first-order kinetics equation. The nitrate removal rate and N2 selectivity remained stable after three cycles in such photocatalytic NO3- reduction. The outstanding photocatalyst performance can be ascribed to the improved surface active sites, the well-matched band structure, and the unique core-shell structure. It provides an effective strategy for controllable fabrication of core-shell photocatalyst with strong light-harvesting ability and charge separation efficiency to enhance the removal rate of nitrate in water.

RESUMO

Fire is one of the most unfavorable conditions that cement-based composites can face during their service lives. The uniaxial tensile and flexural tensile properties of the steel-polyvinyl alcohol fiber-calcium carbonate whisker (CW) multi-scale fiber reinforced cement matrix composites (MSFRCs) under high temperatures are studied, including strength, deformation capacity, energy dissipation capacity, and its ability to be assessed through the empirical calculation method. The study showed that with the increase of the treatment temperature, the MSFRC residual bending strength, bending toughness, and tensile strength decreased overall, but the decline was slow at 600 °C. The peak flexural deflection and peak tensile strain of MSFRC first reduced and then increased with the increase of the temperature. As the temperature increased, the nominal stiffness of MSFRC bending and straight gradually reduced, and the rate of decline was faster than that of its strength. However, the uniaxial tensile properties were more sensitive to the temperature and degraded more rapidly. A quantitative relationship was established between MSFRC residual bending, tensile strength, and temperature. A comparison with existing research results shows that MSFRC has achieved an ideal effect of high temperature resistance. The multi-scale hybrid fiber system significantly alleviates the deterioration of cement-based composite's mechanical properties under high temperatures. With the help of an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM), the high temperature influence mechanism on the uniaxial tensile and flexural properties of MSFRC was revealed.

RESUMO

The design and development of thermal insulation materials is very important for the treatment of offshore oil pipelines. Understanding thermal energy transport in thermal insulation materials and predicting their thermal conductivities have important theoretical and practical value for the design of thermal insulation materials. In this work, lightweight and thermally insulated (LWTI) composites with the desired mechanical strength for offshore oil pipelines applications were prepared using epoxy resin (EP) as the matrix and hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) as the filler. The morphology, density, and mechanical properties of HGM/EP LWTI composites were studied first. The flexural strength and the flexural modulus of HGM/EP LWTI composites could still be as high as 22.34 ± 2.75 Mpa and 1.34 ± 0.03 GPa, respectively, while the density was only 0.591 g/cm3. The relationship between the effective thermal conductivity of HGM/EP LWTI composites and material parameters (sizes and contents together) has been studied systematically. A three-phase prediction model was built using the self-consistent approximation method to predict the effective thermal conductivity of HGM/EP LWTI composites, and the resin matrix, the wall thickness, the HGM particle size, and other parameters (such as air) were fully considered during the derivation of this three-phase thermal conductivity model. Finally, the insulation mechanism of HGM/EP LWTI composites was systematically analyzed. The thermal conductivities of HGM/EP LWTI composites with different diameters and HGM contents calculated by the three-phase prediction model agreed well with the experimental test results, with a minimum error of only 0.69%. Thus, this three-phase thermal conductivity model can be used to theoretically simulate the thermal conductivity of epoxy resin-based LWTI composites and can be the theoretical basis for the design and prediction of the thermal conductivity of other similar hollow spheres filled materials.

RESUMO

In this study, the curing kinetics of the phenolic amine/epoxy resin system were investigated by nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The model-free isoconversional method of Ozawa-Flynn-Wall reveals a dependence of Eα (activation energy) on conversion (α), which interprets the autocatalytic curing reaction mechanism of the phenolic amine/epoxy resin system. Studies on the effects of nano-SiO2 particles on the tensile properties and tensile fracture face morphology of nanocomposites show that the uniform dispersion of SiO2 nanoparticles plays an important role in promoting the tensile performance of nanocomposites. Additionally, increases of 184.1% and 217.2% were achieved by adding 1.5% weight parts of nano-SiO2 in composites for the tensile strength and tensile modulus, respectively.
