Solid-State Synthesis of “Bamboo-Like” and Straight Carbon Nanotubes by Thermolysis of Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene–Cobalt Complexes

2006

CoOx catalysts supported on alumina and alumina-baria: influence of the support on the cobalt species and their activity in NO reduction by C3H6 in l…

2003

Abstract CoO x catalysts (Co 1 and 3 wt.%) were prepared by incipient-wetness impregnation of the supports, Al 2 O 3 and Al 2 O 3 (80 wt.%)-BaO (20 wt.%), and calcined at 500 and 800 °C. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and BET techniques. H 2 -temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) spectra were recorded with the aim to identify the different Co species formed. The presence of Co 2+ species tetrahedrally and octahedrally coordinated appears strongly influenced by the nature of the support and the cobalt content. Co 3 O 4 particles were detected after calcination at 500 °C, a successive treatment at 800 °C promotes th…

Thermal stability, structural properties and catalytic activity of Pd catalysts supported on Al2O3–CeO2–BaO mixed oxides prepared by sol–gel method

2003

Abstract Al2O3–CeO2–BaO oxides with constant Al/Ba mass ratio and increasing cerium content were prepared, using the sol–gel procedure, and calcined at 1000 °C for 5 h. The influence of barium oxide on the thermal stability and on the morphological and structural properties of the corresponding supports, in terms of increasing surface area of alumina and ceria dispersion, was studied. The corresponding Pd (1 wt.%) catalysts were prepared by a stepwise impregnation method with a solution of palladium acetylacetonate in benzene. Palladium was introduced in two sequential steps by impregnation 0.5 wt.% of Pd each time. The structural and textural properties of the materials were studied by X-r…

On thermal behaviour of DMC catalysts for ring opening polymerization of epoxides

2016

Abstract The thermoanalytical studies of two types of the double metal cyanide catalysts were carried out. The identity of the catalysts was characterized by an elemental analysis and FTIR. The thermoanalytical examinations performed with the use of TG-DSC, EGA-FTIR, EGA-MS shed new light on views of the bonding of the ligands in the DMC. The chemical justification of the processes responsible for the TG/DSC steps was proposed. Several organic ligand complexing states were found in both types of catalysts. The ligand-DMC bondings were decomposing stepwise in relatively low temperature ranges, which could suggest their negligible role at catalytic reaction being performed usually at higher t…

United in the Commonwealth. The participation of Lithuanian troops in the Zborów battle in 1649

2018

Abstract In 1648, an uprising broke out in Ukraine that belonged to Poland at the time. The war was not successful for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Cossacks and Tartars, who were helping them during the war, surrounded Zbaraż, about whose defense everyone knew in the country. King Jan Kazimierz decided to set out to rescue the besieged fortress. It was decided that not only Polish troops, but also soldiers of Lithuania would set out for Ukraine. Not only state armies, but also private regiments set out to fight. The article discusses the problem of the reasons for the participation of Lithuanians in the war, which was not only due to the provisions of the union, but also to be in…

Zur Autoxydation von Polystyrol

1971

Die mit Azoisobuttersauredinitril (AIBN) initiierte Autoxydation von Polystyrol (PS) in Chlorbenzol bei 60°C ist von der Ordnung 0,75, bezogen auf AIBN, und 0,34, bezogen auf PS. Der niedrige Exponent der Polystyrolkonzentration weist neben intermolekularen Wachstumsschritten auf intramolekulare Reaktionsschritte bei der Autoxydation hin. Die bei der Autoxydation am Polystyrol gebildeten Hydroperoxidgruppen zerfallen in Essigsathylester als Losungsmittel mit einer Aktivierungsenthalpie von 19,7 kcal/Mol und einer Aktivierungsentropie von −29 cal/Mol Grad. Das spricht fur einen monomolekularen bifunktionellen Zerfallsmechanismus. Als fluchtige Produkte bei diesem Hydroperoxidzerfall werden P…

Carbon nanotube supported aluminum porphyrin-imidazolium bromide crosslinked copolymer

2022

The increased awareness of the catastrophic consequences caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere has generated a large mobilization aimed at CO2 mitigation. Herein, in the spirit of the transformation of a waste as CO2 into value added products, we propose an efficient preparation of two different hybrid systems based on aluminum chloride tetrastyrylporphyrin (TSP-Al-Cl) and 1,4-butanediyl-3,3′-bis-1-vinylimidazolium dibromide copolymerized in the presence (MWCNT-TSP-AlCl-imi) and in absence (TSP-AlCl-imi) of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for the CO2 utilization in the synthesis of cyclic carbonates. The so-prepared materials have been thoroughly characte…

Sedimentation of dissolved macromolecules in the vicinity of the consolute point 1. Strictly binary systems and kinetic considerations

1986

This paper analyzes the effect of gravity on polymer solutions near the consolute point. Calculations are carried out for monodisperse polystyrene in cyclohexane using the Flory-Huggins expression with a concentration-dependent interaction parameter for the free energy of mixing. Depending on molecular weight and distance to the demixing temperature, the influence of gravity leads to non-negligible gradients of the volume fraction in the one-phase region as well as in the two-phase region. In particular, the effect of gravity on the measurement of the coexistence curve in a finite sample is calculated explicitly.

Compatibility between polystyrene copolymers and polymers in solution via hydrogen bonding

2006

Abstract It has been applied the concept of improving miscibility, by introducing and optimizing the extent of intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions between two polymers. We select a commodity polymer such as polystyrene, to study the compatibility in chloroform with poly(vinyl pyridine) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), both considered as proton acceptors. In order to enhance polymer–polymer miscibility, polystyrene is slightly modified by copolymerization with methacrylic acid, in the first case, and with vinyl-phenol comonomer, in the second one. In this way, two series of polystyrene-based copolymers are synthesized and characterized bearing ca. 8% (w/w) of –OH groups. The miscibility…

Demixing of unsheared and sheared solutions of polystyrene in tert-butylacetate and the pressure influence on their flow behaviour

1979

For the system tert-butyl acetate/polystyrene (M= 670000) the phase separation behaviour (upper critical solution temperatures, upper critical solution pressures) is investigated by means of visual and turbidimetric cloud-point measurements and by viscometry. For near-critical concentrations the visually determined cloud-points are found at higher, for low concentrations at lower temperatures as compared with the turbidimetrically determined binodal temperature,Tbin Plots of the invers of the turbidity measured atTbin as a function of the polymer concentration,w2, yield a minimum from which the critical composition can be determined. The viscometrically obtained demixing points (break-down …
