The polyimide(PI) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) ultra thin films were prepared by imidizing the PAAS LB films of PMDA and benzidine system with a thermal treatment at 250℃ for 30min, where the PAAS LB films were formed on substrates by using LB technique. The thicknesses of one layer of PAAS and PI LB film that deposited at the surface pressure of 27mN/m were 20.9 and 4A, respectively. At low electric field, ohmic conduction(I∝ V) was observed and the calculated electrical conductivity was about 4.23×10-15~9.81×10-15S/cm. The dielectric constant of LB film was about 7.0.
The cutaneous tolerability of detergent formulations can be improved by means of suitable additives. They complex the surfactant molecules lowering the concentration of their free monomeric species. Proteins derivatives used as additives for detergency are usually prepared by partial hydrolysis of plant reserve proteins. The main purpose of the hydrolytic cleavage is to make them water soluble and suitable for liquid products. Water solubility and stability are obtained by means of complexation with surfactants which also increase their actual hydrophobicity, an important parameter affecting cosmetic properties of proteins. Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and electric capacitance (EC) have been adopted as investigation technigues to evaluate the skin integrity/damage in vitro tests, The performance of native wheat protein / surfactant complexes has been compared with traditional protein hydrolysates as detergent additives. The results show a noticeable reduction of skin irritation in surfactant formulations with addition of native wheat protein.
Oligomer type anionic surfactants(RmM-Na or RmD-Na were synthesized from C8~C16 long chain alkylvinylether and maleic anhydride (or maleic diethylether). And also their fluorescent anionic surfactants (RmF- Na) were obtained from alkali neutralization which opens the lactone ring of the condensing materials produced by maleic anhydride alkylvinylether copolymer and 3-aminophenol. The measurement results for the surface active properties of water soluble oligomer type anionic surfactants with fluorescent structure (RmF-Na) exhibited a remarkable surface tension lowing property, foam breaking property, and a ernulsing power.
Recently, the phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have been extensively studied for their high internal quantum efficiency. In this study, we synthesised several phosphorescent metal complexes, and certified their composition using NMR. We also investigated the characteristics of the phosphorescent OLEDs with the green emitting phosphor, Ir(ppy)3. The devices with a structure of indium-tin-oxide(ITO)/N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-(3-methylphenyI-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD)/metal complex doped in host materials/2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-l,10-phenanthroline(BCP)/tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) Aluminum(Alq3)/Li:Al/Al was fabricated, and its electrical and optical characteristics were studied. By changing the doping concentration of tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium (Ir(ppy)3), we fabricated several devices and investigated their characteristics.
Diphosphine dinuclear gold(I) complexes were synthesized from the reaction of bridged diphosphines and gold ions. As a bridged diphosphine, 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)metbane (dppm) or 1,1'-Bis(diphenylphosphino) ferrocene (dppf) was introduced. As anionic ligands, CI was first coordinated to Au, resulting in (diphosphine)(AuCl)2. Then, the ligand, SPh, was substituted for Cl in the chloride complex to give (diphosphine)(AuSPh)2. As a result, three digold complexes, (dppm)(AuCl)2. (I), (dppf)(AuCl)2. (II), and (dppf)(AuSPh2. (III) were prepared in this study. The thermal properties were investigated at first hand to confirm that the gold complexes were in fact formed. The digold complexes were decomposed above 200℃ while the ligand, dppm or dppf, melts under 180℃ The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the spin-coated thin films showed the maximum peak at 590, 595, and 540nm for the complex, I, II, and III, respectively. These complexes were found to give the orange color phosphorescence. Therefore, these digold complexes can be candidates for orange-red phosphorescent materials in organic electroluminescent devices (OELD). Further studies on application of the complexes as a dopant in an emitting layer are in progress in our laboratory.
Experimental Study was carried out for benzene desorption by purge gas or evacuation in an activated carbon bed. As purge gas flow rate increased, desorption rate increased due to the higher interstitial linear gas velocity. For various purge gas flow rates, desoption curves almost got together if they were plotted against dimensionless time. At a higher flow rate, mass transfer zone became narrower. Temperature drop in the bed was more fast and severe at higher flow rates and higher outer temperature. It was found out that desorption was almost completed when the temperature in the drop of the bed returned to the initial temperature before temperature drop. Desorption by vacuum purge was completed in shorter time than desorption by purge gas. Countercurrent purge was more effective than cocurrent purge.
A silicone softner (SS-5), a permanent press (PP) finish, was prepared by blending silicone oil KF-96 (as a lubricating component) and beef tallow hardened oil (as a softening component) which was synthesized from fatty polyamide salts. The prepared SS-5 and the PP finishing resin were applied to PP finishing cotton cloth and P/C gingham sample by one-bath method. The properties such as crease recovery, tear strength, and bending resistance were tested. The samples treated with SS-5 and PP finishing resin showed improved properties when comparing with the untreated ones, with the ones treated only with PP finishing resin, with ones treated with commercial PP finishing softners and PP finishing resin. The grades of fabric samples treated with 3% SS-5 were fifth grade in the bending resistance test.
[Ga]-MFI and H-ZSM-5 catalysts were synthesized under atmospheric pressure and used in the propylene aromatization. The effect of temperature on the product distribution was also investigated. The catalytic activities of the prepared catalysts were compared with the commercialized H-ZSM-5 which was converted from NH4-ZSM-5. In the propylene aromatization, product distribution does not depend on the ratio of Si/Ga2 with [Ga]-MFI catalyst, but depend on the ratio of Si/Al2 with H-ZSM-5 catalyst [Ga]-MFI catalyst shows better dehydrogenation and alkylation activities than H-ZSM-5 catalyst The addition of Ga to H-ZSM-5 catalyst increases the conversion of propylene, selectivity to aromatics, and alkylation. In the propylene aromatization, the selectivity to aromatics slightly increased with increasing temperature with [Ga]-MFI catalyst, while slightly decreased with increasing temperature with H-ZSM-5 catalyst
As model waterborne acrylic coatings, mono-dispersed poly(butyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate) copolymer latexes of random copolymer and core/shell type graft copolymer were prepared by seeded multi-staged emulsion polymerization with particle size of 180~200 nm using semi-batch type process. Sodium lauryl sulfate and potassium persulfate were used as an emulsifier and an initiator, respectively. The effect of particle texture including core/shell phase ratio, glass transition temperature and crosslinking density, and film forming temperature on the film formation and final properties of film was investigated using SEM, AFM, and UV in this study. The film formation behavior of model latex was traced simultaneously by the weight loss measurement and by the change of tensile properties and UV transmittance during the entire course of film formation. It was found that the increased glass transition temperature and higher crosslinking degree of latex resulted in the delay of the onset of coalescence of particles by interdiffusion during film forming process. This can be explained qualitatively in terms of diffusion rate of polymer chains. However, the change of weight loss during film formation was insensitive to discern each film forming stages-I, II and III.
Methyl glycoside oleic acid polyester was successfully prepared from methyl glycosides and methyl oleate by emulsion interesterification in the presence of methyl fructoside oleic acid polyester as an emulsifier. Emulsion interesterification process was optimized to obtain 98% yield of methyl glycoside polyester within 3~5hr at temperatures as relatively low as 90~150℃ and 20~200mmHg pressure with a five-fold molar ratio of oleic acid methyl ester to methyl glycoside in the presence of 2(w/w)% potassium carbonate and 2O(v/v)% methyl fructoside polyester based on oleic acid methyl ester.
