Primary MgCl2.3.3EtOH adduct (PCT1) was prepared by melt quenching method and then submitted into a programmed thermal dealcoholation project using a fluidized bed reactor. During thermal dealcoholation program, different MgCl2.nEtOH support samples with n= 3.0, 2.7, 2.4, and 2.1 were selected and named as PCT2 to PCT5, respectively. Structural analysis of the support samples showed a significa...

[ 8 ] - مروری بر کامپوزیت‌های پلیمر-سیلسزکیوکسان اولیگومری چندوجهی

در سال‌های اخیر، کامپوزیت‌های پلیمری با نانوذرات سیلسزکیوکسان اولیگومری چندوجهی (POSS) بسیار مطالعه شده‌اند. ابعاد نانومتری و نیز امکان وجود گروه‌های عاملی مختلف در ساختار این نانوذرات باعث شده است تا کامپوزیت‌های ساخته شده از آن‌ها، دارای خواص منحصربه‌ فردی باشند که در مواد هیبریدی متداول مشاهده نمی‌شود. اندازه‌ ذرات POSS در حدود nm 1 تا nm 3 است. این ذرات ساختاری صلب دارند و می‌توانند به طور ...
