Abstract The work described here is an extension of the study of the reaction of methyl iodide with sulfur compounds originally begun with the purpose of using such data in determining the sulfur linkage in vulcanized rubber. A previous paper dealt with the reactions of methyl iodide with propanethiol, propyl sulfide, propyl disulfide, allyl sulfide, and thiophene. This article adds to the list, n-butyl methallyl sulfide, allyl disulfide, allyl tetrasulfide, n-propyl tetrasulfide, and trithiane. The removal of combined sulfur from vulcanized rubber as trimethylsulfonium iodide on treatment with methyl iodide at room temperature was persuasive evidence of the presence of sulfide sulfur linked to allylic type residues. The evidence offered, however, did not constitute exclusive proof because it was not known whether still other types of sulfur linkage would also yield trimethylsulfonium iodide. To shed more light on this question, the sulfur linkages most likely to occur in vulcanizates—the allyl-alkyl monosulfide, diallyl and dialkyl di- and polysulfide—were investigated. The trithiane reaction is of interest mostly from the point of view of the reaction of overcured stocks or secondary reaction products stemming from the original polysulfides. The reactions were carried out using the method described in a previous paper.

Abstract The tensile properties and tear resistance of a large number of commercial inner tubes, before and after aging by different methods, are studied at 0°, 25°, and 100° C. A number of uncured bus-truck tube stocks are also studied from the point of view of their capacity to withstand high temperatures. The effect of testing rubber at 100° C. as compared with room temperature is discussed; how some compounds collapse at 100° C., while others have tensile properties equal to, or better than those at 25°, is shown. The effect of testing artificially aged specimens at 100° C., as well as at 25° C., is discussed; the high-temperature test may reveal conditions of deterioration and overcure that are not noticeable in the 25° tests. The compounding and curing conditions that lead to high tensile properties at 100° C., as well as those which cause inferior quality, are discussed.

Abstract The use of thiurams such as Tetramethyl thiuram disulfide (TMTD) or Tetrabenzyl thiuram disulfide (TBzTD) has been explored to achieve higher cure efficiency. The studies suggest that a clear difference exists between the effect of TMTD versus TBzTD. TMTD reacts with Bis (triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide (TESPT) and this reaction can take place even at room temperature. On the other hand, the reaction of TBzTD with TESPT is slow and takes place only at higher temperature. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with mass (MS) detection, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR) and other analytical tools have been used to understand the differences between the reaction of TMTD and TESPT versus TBzTD and TESPT. The reaction products originating from these reactions are also identified. These studies indicate that unlike TMTD, TBzTD improves the cure efficiency allowing faster cure without significant effect on processing characteristics as well as dynamic properties. The loading of TESPT is reduced in a typical Green tire compound and the negative effect on viscosity is repaired by addition of anhydrides, such as succinic anhydride, maleic anhydride, etc.

Abstract Further work is very desirable on the effect of different accelerators, antioxidants, and fluxes. It is possible that their study will throw more light on the mechanism of the swelling phenomena, and also help to explain the anomalous behavior of some of the fillers tested. It would also seem to be worth while to study the action of a few selected stocks in water, at several temperatures between room temperature and 100° C., to determine if the water absorption and swelling merely increase with rising temperatures, or whether there might be an actual change in behavior at different temperatures.

This study determines the effect of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and metakaolin (MK) on the microstructural properties of the tungsten mining waste-based alkali-activated binder (TMWM). During this investigation, TMWM was partially replaced with 10 wt.% GGBFS and 10 wt.% MK to improve the microstructure of the binder. In order to understand the effect of the substitutions on the microstructure, two pastes were produced to make a comparative study between the sample contain 100% TMWM and the ternary precursors. Both precursors were activated using a combination of alkaline activator solutions (sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide) with the ratio of 1:3 (66.6 wt.% sodium silicate combined with 33.33 wt.% of NaOH 8M). The alkali-activated mixes were cured in oven at temperature of 60 °C in the first day and at room temperature for the next 27 days. The reaction products N-A-S-H gel and (N,M)-A-S-H gel resulted from the alkaline activation reaction process. In addition, a formation of natrite (Na2CO3) with needles shape occurred as a reaction product of the fluorescence phenomena. However, a dense matrix resulted from the alkline activation of the ternary precursors containg different gels such as N-A-S-H, C-A-S-H and (N,M)-C-A-S-H gel, these results were obtained through SEM-EDS analyses, as well FTIR tests.

Abstract A previous article of mine entitled “Observations on Color Reactions of Rubber and Gutta-Percha” has led to the question whether intensely colored reaction products which are obtained by fusion of phenols with bromides of hydrocarbons give characteristic absorption spectra. I have carried out a few preliminary experiments on this subject, which appear to confirm my earlier point of view that the cause of the different colorations is to be found in dispersion color reactions. It is well known that when rubber bromide or gutta-percha bromide is suspended in carbon tetrachloride and is heated with phenol until the carbon tetrachloride is eliminated, a red-violet to blue fusion mixture is obtained, which gives colors of various stabilities depending upon the solvent into which the fusion mixture is dropped. Thus the blue and violet colorations in chloroform are stable for some time, but they change gradually to green and then to brown, with separation of a flocculent precipitate. Yellow-brown reaction products (hydroxyphenylhydrorubber and gutta-percha) are however obtained in the presence of catalysts (iron, aluminum chloride) or by the action of alkalies (NH3, KOH) or by pouring the blue-violet fusion mixtures into ether.

The reactivity of CaTi4(PO4)6 (CTP) with alumina and yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) ceramics was studied. CTP powder was synthesized and composites with commercial alumina or zirconia matrices containing 10 wt% of CTP were prepared. They were sintered at different temperatures and characterized using XRD, SEM, and EDX analyses. The results showed that the alumina/CTP and Y-TZP/CTP composites start to react below 1000 °C. In the alumina/CTP composite the first reaction product, detected at 970 °C, was AlPO4. At temperatures above 1280 °C TiO2 and CaTiO3 were also formed and no CTP peaks could be detected using XRD analysis. The composite sintered at 1500 °C consisted of Al2O3 matrix, AlPO4, TiO2, CaTiO3 and Al2TiO5. The reaction products formed in the Y-TZP/CTP composite at 970 °C were TiO2 and Ca2Zr7O16. At higher sintering temperatures, 1280 °C and above, CTP was no longer present, Ca2Zr7O16 decomposed, forming CaO2 and ZrO2, and Y2O3 was consumed to form YPO4. Consequently, upon cooling to room temperature the matrix phase transformed to monoclinic ZrO2. Based on these results it can be concluded that CTP is not a suitable bioactive second phase for the fabrication of CTP composites with alumina or zirconia matrices.

Tungsten-containing functional mesoporousW-SiO2 have been successfully synthesized by an one-pot and facile room-temperature procedure. These materials presented a high dispersion of tungsten species and excellent catalytic activity on the removal of sulfur compounds without any organic solvents as extractants. The catalytic performance on sulfur compounds was investigated in detail. After recycling for 8 times, the removal of the oxidation desulfurization system could still reach 92.0%.

The demand for healthier products has led the breakfast cereal sector to develop new formulations to improve the nutritional profile of breakfast cereals; however, the increase in chemical risks should also be evaluated. Amadori compounds and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are Maillard reaction products applied as heat damage indices in breakfast cereals. Furosine (a synthetic amino acid formed by acid hydrolysis of Amadori compounds) is linked to the loss of protein quality, while HMF has exhibited toxicological effects in cells and animals. Furosine and HMF content was evaluated in Spanish breakfast cereals whereas the effect of protein, fibre, and sugar content, the type of grain, the presence of honey, and the manufacturing process were discussed, as well as compared with a previous prospective study. The average furosine and HMF contents were 182 mg/kg and 21.7 mg/kg, respectively. Protein and fibre content were directly related to the furosine content, whereas sugar level, honey addition, and the manufacturing process affected the content of HMF. Occurrence of furosine and HMF decreased nearly 40% in a decade (2006–2018). These findings are relevant in terms of nutritional score, since lysine availability is preserved, but also from a toxicological point of view, due to the decreased daily exposure to both compounds, which dropped 30%.
