The kinetics of catalyzed urethane-forming reactions of hydroxyl-terminated polyether (HTPE) with toluene di-isocyanate (TDI) in the presence of bismuth complex catalysts was investigated by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to monitor the chemical interactions of relevant groups. The kinetic parameters, including the apparent activation energy (Ea) and reaction rate constants (k) at typical temperatures calculated by the Kissinger and Crane methods, were used to evaluate the catalytic activities of triphenylbismuth (TPB) and tris(3-ethoxyphenyl)bismuthine (TEPB). The variations of Ea were studied to obtain an insight into the consistency of catalytic mechanism for the bismuth complex catalysts. The viscosity build-up of HTPE-based polymer bonded explosive (PBX) slurry was then measured to verify the catalytic activity and the pot-life during an actual manufacturing process, which fitted with the kinetics of the catalyzed cure reaction. The cure process was evaluated by the hardness of the PBX grains maintained at a temperature below typical manufacturing conditions. The results showed that TEPB is an effective catalyst, reducing the Ea of the cure reaction and the manufacturing temperature and time with an acceptable pot-life. The mechanical, thermal characteristics and compatibility of the HTPE-based PBXs were also investigated. The results suggest that TEPB is compatible with HTPE-based PBXs and contributes to improving the mechanical properties and thermal safety.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized by imprinting a new template—S(-)-1,1′-binaphthalene-2,2′-diamine (S-DABN) and applied as chiral stationary phases for chiral separation of DABN racemates by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The influence of some key factors on the chiral recognition ability of MIPs, such as the type of functional monomers and porogen and the molar ratio of template to monomer, was systematically investigated. The chromatographic conditions, such as mobile phase composition, sample loading, and flow rate, were also measured. The chiral separation for DABN racemates under the optimum chromatographic conditions by using MIP chiral stationary phase (CSP) of P3, prepared with the S-DABN/MAA ratio = 1/4 and used acetonitrile (2 mL) and chloroform (4 mL) as porogen, showed the highest separation factor (2.14). Frontal analysis was used to evaluate affinity to the target molecule of MIPs. The binding sites (Bt) of MIPs and dissociation constant (Kd) were estimated as 4.56 μmol g−1 and 1.40 mmol L−1, respectively. In comparison with the previous studies, this approach had the advantages, such as the higher separation factor, easy preparation, and cost-effectiveness, it not only has the value for research but also has a potential in industrial application.

We examined the influence of topography, canopy structure and gap light environmental variables on the patterns of vascular ground flora (vascular plants less than 1 m in height excluding tree seedlings) in a subtropical broadleaved forest in S China, using field data obtained from a 4-ha permanent plot. Both topographic and canopy environmental conditions had a significant effect on community composition, species diversity and distribution of the vascular ground flora. However, topographic factors, especially slope position and aspect, had a greater influence as compared with canopy and understory light conditions. Both number of individuals and number of individuals per species of the ground flora varied significantly with different slope position, aspect, slope steepness and transmitted direct radiation, while species richness varied significantly under different slope position and canopy leaf area index (LAI) The effects of topographic and canopy environmental conditions on ground-flora composition and structure was further confirmed by Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). Multi-response Permutation Procedures (MRPP) showed significant differences in the ground-flora species composition based on all the topographic, canopy structure and gap light variables. Species indicative of topographic, canopy structure and gap light regimes were identified with a significant indicator value (IV - 35%) by Indicator Species Analysis (ISA), which indicated that certain species have their ecological preference for a particular environmental gradient.

A three-dimensional, steady, incompressible, turbulent flow field inside a multi-blade centrifugal fan used in an air-conditioner has been analyzed numerically. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the standard k-epsilon turbulence model have been discretized by the finite volume method. The calculation results have shown complex three-dimensional characteristics of the flow, especially in the blade passages near the shroud side. The results have revealed a boundary layer separating the flow from the leading edge on the blade suction surface, the flow's reversal from the high pressure region inside the volute to the low pressure region near the impeller inlet, the flow's recirculation near the shroud side, a jet-wake pattern at the rotor exit, pressure fluctuation on the blade surface, etc. Some of the numerical results agree well with previous experiment.
