Composition, crystallization conditions and genesis of sulfide-saturated parental melts of olivine-phyric rocks from Kamchatsky Mys (Kamchatka, Russi…
2020
Highlights • Parental melts of sulfide-bearing KM rocks have near primary MORB-like composition. • Crystallization of these S-saturated melts occurred in near-surface conditions. • Extensive fractionation and crustal assimilation are not the causes of S-saturation. • S content in melts can be restored by accounting for daughter sulfide globules. Abstract Sulfide liquids that immiscibly separate from silicate melts in different magmatic processes accumulate chalcophile metals and may represent important sources of the metals in Earth's crust for the formation of ore deposits. Sulfide phases commonly found in some primitive mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB) may support the occurrence of sulfide …
High performance PA6/CNTs nanohybrid fibers prepared in the melt
2012
Commercial and home-made carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were plasma treated under oxygen atmosphere and then added to polyamide 6 (PA6) in order to prepare fibres by melt spinning. For comparison, pristine nanofillers were used too. The effect of functionalization and of filler characteristics on the morphological, rheological, mechanical and electrical properties of the fibres was studied by TEM and SEM, rheological measurements, tensile and electrical conductivity tests. The results demonstrated that the functionalization led to a better mechanical performance and the morphological analysis confirmed that the adhesion, the dispersion and the alignment of the nanotubes within the polymer matrix w…
Molecular dynamics of supercooled polymer films
2000
We present results of molecular dynamics simulations for a supercooled polymer melt confined between two smooth and purely repulsive walls. The thickness D of the film is about 7 times the bulk radius of gyration. For all temperatures studied, a significant increase of the monomer and chain mobilities with respect to the bulk is observed. Preliminary results suggest that structural relaxation times exhibit a power-law behavior in the vicinity of a critical temperature T c (D) 0.39 (in Lennard-Jones units). This estimate of T c (D) is about 14% smaller than the corresponding bulk value. Despite this significant decrease the time dependence of various mean-square displacements seems to be una…
Characterization of a fiber-reinforced new fully aromatic liquid crystalline polymer
1998
A new rigid liquid crystalline polymer that demonstrates good mechanical and thermomechanical properties and acceptable processing temperature has been recently synthesized and characterized. The melting temperature and some thermomechanical properties do not seem, however, suitable for use in some applications at high temperature or in the presence of aggressive fluids. The use of appropriate inorganic fillers can overcome these shortcomings. In this work the new LCP, polymerized in a bench-scale apparatus, and the same sample filled with carbon fibers are characterized. The properties of the carbon fiber filled LCP are compared with those of another filled wholly aromatic commercial LCP,…
Properties and interactions – melting point of tribromobenzene isomers
2021
The melting points of tribromobenzene isomers are correlated with the number, nature and distribution of intermolecular interactions in their structures.
Synthesis, characterization and thermal properties of small R2R′2N+X−-type quaternary ammonium halides
2005
Twenty-one R {sub 2} R {sup '} {sub 2}N{sup +} X {sup -} -type (R=methyl or ethyl, R {sup '}=alkyl, X=Br or I) quaternary ammonium (QA) halides have been prepared by using a novel one-pot synthetic route in which a formamide (dimethyl-, diethylformamide, etc.) is treated with alkyl halide in the presence of sodium or potassium carbonate. The formation of QA halides was verified with {sup 1}H-NMR, {sup 13}C-NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The crystal structures of four QA halides (two bromide and two iodide) were determined using X-ray single crystal diffraction, and the powder diffraction method was used to study the structural similarities between the single crystal and microcrystalline bu…
Novel one-pot synthesis of quaternary ammonium halides: new route to ionic liquids
2004
Treatment of an amide with an alkyl or substituted alkyl halide in the presence of a weak base in a one-pot reaction leads to crystalline quaternary ammonium halides with reasonable chemical yields; some of the compounds show low melting points and a liquid range of over 50–100 °C before decomposition.
Isoniazid cocrystallisation with dicarboxylic acids: vapochemical, mechanochemical and thermal methods
2016
Cocrystallisation with a series of related compounds allows for the exploration of trends and limitations set by structural differences between these compounds. In this work, we investigate how the length of a dicarboxylic acid influences the outcome of cocrystallisation with isoniazid. We have performed a systematic study on the mechanochemical, thermal and solvent vapour-assisted cocrystallisation of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids (C3–C10) with isoniazid. Our results demonstrate that the rate of mechanochemical and vapour-assisted cocrystallisation depends on the acid chain length and shows alternation between odd- and even-chain acids. The results of thermal cocrystallisation showed that t…
Synthesis and Characterization of a New Fully Aromatic LCP
1996
Abstract Liquid crystal polymers (LCP)are a relatively new class of polymers with very interesting and unusual properties. In particular, easy processability and outstanding mechanical and barrier properties make them very attractive. Unfortunately the high stiffness of their chains often leads to compounds having very high melting points and consequently to unprocessable materials. By adding a flexible segments in the chain backbone the LCPs become processable at lower temperatures but lower properties are displayed. A new rigid liquid crystalline polymer, having excellent physical properties, good processing temperature and a good cost/performance compromise, is described in this work. Th…
Reprocessing of Poly(Vinyl Chloride), Polycarbonate and Polyethyleneterephthalate
1998
Poly ethyleneterephthalate — PET- and Poly(vinyl chloride) — PVC — are two of the most frequently encountered polymers in post-consumer plastics. In particular, these polymers can be used for manufacturing the same products (bottles, for example) and therefore are often found in the same stream, even when the collection is done with separation. The recycling of PET and PVC is usually carried out by separating them and reprocessing the two homogeneous polymers. Indeed, the heterogeneous recycling of two polymers is at present almost impossible because of many problems: as their melting points are very different, at the processing temperature of PET severe degradation phenomena of PVC take pl…
