PVA nanofibers are generally required to be modified because of its poor stability in water. The water stability of PVA nanofibers was improved by heat treatment in this paper. The DSC test results showed that the crystallinity of heat-treated PVA nanofibers at 150°C for 10 min reached the maximum which increased by 12% compared with PVA nanofibers. From the SEM images it was observed that the heat-treated fibers didn’t dissolve in water but showed certain degree of agglutination and swelling. PVA nanofibers were taken as the inner layer of the sandwich structure purification material prepared with the hot pressing technology. The filtering experiments showed that the filtration properties were better when the area density of PVA nanofibers was 2.5 g/m2.
Electrospinning of PVA can be performed from aqueous solution leading to the generation of homogenous nanofiber webs. PVA nanofibers are generally required to be modified because of its poor stability in water. The water stability of PVA nanofibers was improved by heat treatment in this paper. The test results showed that the crystallinity of the PVA nanofibers increases after heat-treatment. The crystallinity which is the largest increased by 12% when they were treated at 150°C for 10 min. The heat-treated fibers don’t dissolve in water and show certain degree of agglutination and swelling. PVA nanofibers were taken as the inner layer of the sandwich structure purification material prepared with the hot pressing technology. The filtering experiment showed that the filtration properties were better when the area density of PVA nanofibers is 2.5g/m2. The filtration efficiency of materials and retention rate of PVA nanofibers decreased after being used for 5 times.
Microencapsulated phase change materials were achieved by solvent evaporation in this article, using polymethylmethacrylate as capsule’s shell and inorganic salt CaCl2•6H2O as capsule’s core. the effects of emulsion concentration and different ratio of core and shell to the microencapsulated phase change materials were discussed. The phase change material were added to the interior wall paints and its properties were characterized. The results showed that its enthalpy content will be different with the microcapsules and different storage time.
a novel fibrous catalyst containing palladium nano-particles was produced via electrospinning technique. The fibrous catalyst was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy respectively, the results showed that the diameter of fiber was about 200 nm and the palladium (Pd) particles were in the range of 30~40 nm. The catalyst was tested in hydrogenations of α-olefins, cyclohexene and nitrobenzol in ethanol at room temperature under 1 atmosphere hydrogen. The results showed that the titled catalyst had high activity in the hydrogenations of α-olefins, cyclohexene and nitrobenzol.
Chitosan grafting acrylic copolymer (CTS-g-AA) supported Nano palladium catalyst was obtained in this paper. Chitosan grafting acrylic copolymer (CTS-g-AA) was prepared firstly and palladium was supported on CTS-g-AA; then nano fibrous catalyst was gained via electrospinning technique. The title catalysts were characterized by TEM, SEM and IR, the diameter of nanofiber was about 70~200 nm, the size of metal particles were in a range of 10~40 nm, and palladium particles dispersed on nanofibers homogeneously. The catalyst was applied to catalyze α-octene hydrogenation in normal temperature and pressure. The results showed that the conversion of α-octene was 99%, and the yield of octane was 65% by double-metal catalyst.
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.
