Branched copolymer of lactic acid/bicine (N, N-bis (hydroxyethyl) glycin) was prepared directly by melt polycondensation from lactic acid and bicine. The branched structure of copolymer of lactic acid/bicine was characterized by 1H NMR and intrinsic viscosity. Although the molecular weigh of copolymer was lower than that of homopolymer of lactic acid, the hydroxyl number of the copolymer was higher than that of homopolymer. All the data indicated the molecule structure of copolymer was branched. Compared with homopolymer of lactic acid, the crystallinity of the branched copolymer decreased and the thermal stability increased.
The desulfurization ash, fly ash and metakaolin were uesd to prepare the geopolymer. Compressive strength test demonstrated that the optimum mass ratio of desulfurization ash, fly ash and metakaolin was 30:55:10 and the max strength reached 17.3 MPa. The XRD and SEM show that there is not new crystalline phase. The main crystalline phase of the matrix is non-reacted mullite in the fly ash. It was suggested that the emission of CO2 and SO2 were rehabited from geopolymer by analysis of those compositions volatilizing using TG/MS.
The polyhedral crystals, octahedral crystals and cube crystals of Zinc hydroxystannate (ZHS) were prepared by the homogeneous precipitation synthesis method. The organic compounds, PEG-400, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and L-alanine were added in the reaction systems to control the crystal structure. The crystal structure and morphology of products were characterized by SEM and XRD. The crystal structure of all products could be attributed to the cubic ZnSn(OH)6 by the XRD analysis. The SEM pictures of the products were different with the change of organic compounds. The FTIR spectrum indicated the ZHS without organic residual and the possible formation mechanism was discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
