Catalytic properties of heteropolyacids supported on MCM-41 mesoporous silica for hydrocarbon cracting reactions

It is known that MCM-41 structures have very weak acid sites because of the lack of the bridging hydroxyl groups present in zeolites. Strong acidity however is required for the potential use of these materials in some specific applications such as: cracking and hydrotreating of heavy residue molecules, cracking of waste plastic, etc. The acidity enhancement of the MCM-41 materials was assessed using the n-hexane and polyethylene cracking reactions. MCM-41 samples were impregnated using heteropolyacid (HPA) such as tungestophospheric acid. The catalyst samples were characterized also by x-ray diffraction and benzene adsorption.

Enhanced optical properties of the GaAsN/GaAs quantum-well structure by the insertion of InAs monolayers

Microstructural and optical properties of InAs-inserted and reference single GaAsN/GaAs quantum-well (QW) structures grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition were investigated using cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence (PL). Significant enhancement of PL intensity and a blueshift of PL emission were observed from the InAs-inserted GaAsN/GaAs QW structure, compared with the single GaAsN/GaAs QW structure. Strain compensation and In-induced reduction of N incorporation are suggested to be two major factors affecting the optical properties. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Rheological Properties of Organoclay Suspensions in Epoxy Network Precursors

This paper deals with the evolution of the state of dispersion of organically modified montmorillonites in epoxy or amine precursors. The epoxy prepolymer is a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and the curing agent is an aliphatic diamine with a polyoxypropylene backbone (Jeffamine D2000). The clay dispersion is evaluated at the platelet scale (nanoscopic scale) from X-ray spectrometry [wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS)] and at the aggregates scale (microscopic scale) from rheological analysis. The organoclays used form gels in the monomers above the percolation threshold if no shear is applied and present a mechanical gel/sol transition when shear stress increases. Gel strength and viscosity at high shear rates are linked to the nanometric state of dispersion and reveal the existence of two different organizations depending on organoclay/monomer interactions: (i) When the clay shows good interactions with the monomer, a significant swelling of the clay galleries by the monomer is obtained. These swollen particles lead to formation of weak gels which after shearing give high relative viscosity fluids. (ii) When the clay develops poor interactions with the monomer, the clay tends to reduce its exchange surface with the monomer and leads to a strongly connected gel. Shear breaks down this physical network leading to a very low relative viscosity fluid composed of nonswollen particles keeping a high aspect ratio. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
