“…In the spectra of M-POSS, the band at 3417 cm 21 and 1116 cm 21 are assigned as stretching vibration of SiAOH and stretching vibration of SiAOASi of silsesquioxane cages, respectively. However, M-POSS exhibits the obvious band at 2958 and 1718 cm 21 assigned as ACH 3 , ACH 2 , and C@O, which is different from V-POSS.…”

“…In view of the specific structure of POSS with more than two functional groups, they are perfect structure‐guiding agents for the synthesis of star‐shape or network polymers. Therefore, some researchers are shifting their interests toward this area, and some efforts have been made so far . The types of POSS and the preparation methods of composites can greatly influence the thermal properties of POSS/PMMA nanocomposites.…”

Octa‐vinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (V‐POSS) and octa‐(methacryloxy) propyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (M‐POSS) were incorporated into PMMA to prepare POSS/PMMA hybrid materials at molecular level via in situ polymerization. The resulting hybrid materials showed only swelling instead of solution in ethyl acetate, while pristine PMMA completely dissolved in ethyl acetate; moreover, the M‐POSS/PMMA hybrid materials exhibited more excellent resistance to solvent stress cracking. An excellent transparency was observed for all hybrid materials. Incorporation of V‐POSS and M‐POSS significantly improved thermal properties of PMMA. The thermal decomposition temperature of hybrid materials was enhanced except a slightly compromised initial decomposition temperature. The hybrid materials prepared with 0.2–0.6 mol% M‐POSS or V‐POSS improved the reinforcing and toughening properties in comparison to pristine PMMA. Also, the incorporation of POSS decreased the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the hybrid materials with more voids introduced into the composites no matter the structure of POSS. POLYM.

“…In-situ geophysical monitoring of subsurface fluid saturation changes and contamination is important for environmental protection and oil industry, for instance (1) leakage at buried waste sites, (2) contaminant remediation in groundwater, and (3) fluid injection for enhanced petroleum recovery. Geophysical monitoring of groundwater contamination has been examined by many methods with geophysical instruments (e.g., Greenhouse and Monier-Williams, 1985;Benson et al, 1997;Buselli and Lu, 2001;McGlashanb et al, 2012). Commonly-used geophysical methods for monitoring groundwater contamination and plume migration include geoelectrical methods (e.g., Mazac et al, 1987;de Lima et al, 1995;Benson et al, 1997;Sauck, 2000;Nwankwo and Emujakporue, 2012;Bellmunt et al, 2016) and ground penetrating radar methods (e.g., Benson, 1995;Daniels et al, 1995).…”

Geophysical monitoring of subsurface contamination in two-phase porous media

We have explored a new technology based on using low-frequency strain attenuation data to monitor the infiltration of contaminants into two-fluid phase porous materials. The attenuation mechanism is related to the loss of energy due to the hysteresis of resistance to meniscus movement (changes in surface tension and wettability) when a pore containing two fluids is stressed at very low frequencies. This phenomenon was verified in our laboratory experiments and applied to a field study near Maricopa, Arizona. In the field study we conducted controlled experiments with the aim of detecting and monitoring the infiltration of a contaminant-a biosurfactantinto groundwater. Three sets of geophysical instruments, each consisting of a 3component seismometer and a tiltmeter, were installed near an irrigation site. The experiment lasted about 3 years with controlled irrigations of initially water only and then water with contaminant into the vadose zone. We used naturally occurring signals of microseisms for our seismic sources and solid Earth tides as sources for the tilt signals. To process the tilt data we extracted the tidal signal from the raw data, and then compared the measured tidal signals with site-specific theoretical data. Changes in tidal signals indicate a strong anomaly associated with the irrigation when a 150 ppm concentration of a biosurfactant was present. No such anomaly was detected when only water was used. Further data processing with an automated procedure shows that the anomalies still persisted. Furthermore, the microseismic results from the seismic data suggest that there may also be a detectable anomaly.
