Simulation of the Free Energy of Mixing for Blend Components in a New Family of Flexible Polycyanurates

چکیده
The miscibility of the dicyanate of bisphenol A, with three dicyanate monomers, with aryl/alkylene ether backbones is studied at different compositions of a binary blend. Solubility parameters are calculated for dicyanate monomers and selected oligmers using the methods of Small and Fedors to predict compatibility. The results are evaluated in terms of the accuracy of the model in reproducing observed data. Gibbs free energy of mixing (∆Gmix) values for selected blends are calculated using the BLENDS module of Cerius. Empirical data (HPLC and MS) are used to inform the construction of selected models to represent different stages of polymer conversion. DMTA analysis is performed to examine the thermo-mechanical properties of the resulting blends and compared with the simulated blend data.

In this study, poly carbonate (PC) and poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were reactive melt-blended under two different conditions to produce PC/PET copolymers. For each condition, samples were taken at specified mixing times representative a specific structure of copolymers and each one employed to physically compatibilize a PC/PET blend with a fixed composition. Reactive blending and copoly...

This paper discusses the control of flexible microgrids, consisting of a Redox Flow Batteries (RFB) and a new power conditioning system (PCS) for the RFB. Considering the importance of energy storage, this study is essential in power systems that are developed cautiously. RFB is connected to power system by a DC/DC or DC/AC converter to produce a DC voltage. It is very important that this conve...
متن کاملA New Mixing Rule for Mixtures of Hard Spheres
A mixing rule for the mixtures of hard-spheres is presented which can be reduced to the standard van der Waals mixing rule at low densities. The effectiveness of the mixing rule for the size and energy parameters of lennard-Jones fluid are examined by combining them with an equation of state to calculate thermodynamic properties. The results of calculation are compared with the molecular dy...

For implementation
 of the free surface boundary condition, a new subroutine has been introduced to an existing steady 3-D body fitted code. This code was previously written for steady flow simulation in closed ducts. The algorithm used in this subroutine reduces the instability problem according to the free surface wave generation. For code validation, it was applied to two different open c...
