In this study, the performance of a new triarylsulfonium photoinitiators in the initiation of cationic polymerization of vinyl monomers was investigated by infrared spectroscopy (IR). The photoinitiator exhibit absorption characteristics compatible with the emission characteristics of medium pressure mercury lamps, which are the main sources of UV light in the industry. The experimental results indicate that the photoinitiator is most effective at a concentration of 1%. At the investigated conditions, the maximal conversion degree is 77.8% and the polymerization rate is 0.56 s-1. The curing process is even faster than the corresponding free-radical photopolymerization of acrylic monomers

Projection microstereolithography additive manufacturing (PµSLA-AM) systems utilize free radical photopolymerization to selectively transform liquid resins into accurate and complex, shaped, solid parts upon UV light exposure. The material properties are coupled with geometrical accuracy, implying that optimizing one response will affect the other. Material properties can be enhanced by the post-curing process, while geometry is controlled during manufacturing. This paper uses designed experiments and analytical curing models concurrently to investigate the effects of process parameters on the green material properties (after manufacturing and before applying post curing), and the geometrical accuracy of the manufactured parts. It also presents a novel accumulated energy model that considers the light absorbance of the liquid resin and solid polymer. An essential definition, named the irradiance affected zone (IAZ), is introduced to estimate the accumulated energy for each layer and to assess the feasibility of the geometries. Innovative methodologies are used to minimize the effect of irradiance irregularities on the responses and to characterize the light absorbance of liquid and cured resin. Analogous to the working curve, an empirical model is proposed to define the critical energies required to start developing the different material properties. The results of this study can be used to develop an appropriate curing scheme, to approximate an initial solution and to define constraints for projection microstereolithography geometry optimization algorithms.

The TPGDA drop was suspended in the atmosphere under acoustic levitation and induced by photoinitiation for polymer preparation at the first attempt. The kinetics of TPGDA photopolymerization induced by the UV light under containerless condition was studied. Compared to the normal condition, the average initial polymerization rate of TPGDA under acoustic levitation is relatively lower, while the final conversion is higher. Relative to oxygen inhibition, container effect plays a more significant role on the conversion in this polymerization system.

The effect of small additions of 1-octene, butyl ethyl ether and triethylamine on the polymerization kinetics of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) in benzene initiated with butyllithium was investigated by employing the GLC analysis. The addition of 1-octane was reflected only in a shorter induction period of the reaction; the effect on the propagation rate was insignificant. With the increasing amount of butyl ethyl ether, the polymerization rate increases linearly, while the reaction order with respect to the concentration of triethylamine is variable and increases from 0.33 to 0.66 with the increasing concentration of the initiator. For a constant concentration of triethylamine, the reaction order with respect to the initial concentration of the initiator was found to vary considerably, reaching even negative values. A reaction scheme was suggested, taking into account the competition between two different solvates of alkyllithium.

The presence of organic pollutants, which cannot be eliminated by conventional processes of primary and secondary treatment, can be problematic. Photocatalytic processes offer an efficient breakdown of organic pollutants into non-toxic compounds such as CO2 and H2O. This paper proposes the use of the titanium dioxide embedded in palygorskite as a photoactive material in the degradation of cationic dye, Coomassie Brilliant Blue. The system was irradiated using UV light for a maximum time of 120 minutes. The concentration of the dye used was 1.0x10-4 mol L-1 in 0.5 g L-1 of the photoactive material. The kinetics of the system was monitored by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. In 120 minutes of radiation, the process of photocatalysis reduced the initial concentration of the Coomassie Brilliant Blue dye in half.

Abstract Kinetics of dehydration of unirradiated and γ-ray irradiated neodymium (III) acetate hydrate with 103 kGy total γ-ray dose absorbed in air atmosphere were studied by isoconversional nonisothermal method. The dehydration proceeds in two steps with the elimination of 0.8 and 0.4 mol of H2O, respectively. This result indicates that the investigated neodymium (III) acetate hydrate contains 1.2 mol of crystalline water in its structure. The dehydration reactions are best described by nucleation (A2 model) and gas diffusion (D4 model) for unirradiated and γ-ray irradiated samples, respectively. Analysis of the kinetic data using linear and nonlinear isoconversional methods showed that the apparent activation energy, Ea (kJ/mol) is dependent on the conversion degree, α, of the dehydration process. The Ea−α plots for both unirradiated and γ-ray irradiated neodymium (III) acetate hydrate showed that the dehydration is a complex process and contains multistep reactions. The results showed that γ-ray irradiation has a significant effect on the kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of the dehydration reaction. Powder X-ray diffraction showed that neodymium (III) acetate hydrate has a monoclinic system (SG P2/m) and no phase transformation was detected by γ-ray irradiation up to 103 kGy absorbed dose. The system maintains the same crystal structure before and after dehydration.

This article proposes a new type of magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) based on natural rubber (NR) and waste natural rubber gloves (wNRg) blends. The material properties of the MRE samples were investigated with specific focus on the curing and swelling kinetics. Two different series were prepared; the first used carbonyl iron (CI) as the single filler in the MRE, whereas the second hybridized CI with carbon black (CB) to prepare an MRE resistant to solvents. The results show that most properties depend strongly on the nature of both fillers. The higher thermal conductivity of the CI caused a substantial decrease in both the scorch and curing times and the activation energy in the curing process. Based on the diffusion study, a higher volume of fillers in the rubber composites resulted in a greater area of blockage and restricted the penetration of the solvent tested throughout the composites, irrespective of whether CI alone or in combination with CB was used in the composites.

An unsymmetrical photochromic diarylethene 1-(2-methyl-1-phenyl)-2-[2-methyl-5-(4-formylphenyl)-3-thienyperfluoroyclopentene (1o) was designed and constructed successfully. Its photochromic properties were examined. The results showed that the compound exhibits good photochromism with UV/Vis light irradiation. The diarylethene 1o changed the color from colorless to blueviolet upon irradiation with 297 nm UV light, in which absorption maxima were observed at 549 and 581nm in hexane and PMMA films, respectively.The photochromic cyclization/cycloreversion kinetics of 1o in hexane were determined by UV-Vis spectra upon alternating irradiation with UV and appropriate wavelength visible light.
