Synthesis, thermal behaviors and thermal safety of 1,3-di (azido-acetoxy)-2-ethyl-2-nitropropane

1,3-Di(azido-acetoxy)-2-ethyl-2-nitropropane (ENPEA) was synthesized from azidoacetic acid and 2-ethyl-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol. The thermal decomposition kinetics under pressures of 0.1 MPa and 3.0 MPa were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The thermal decomposition mechanism was studied by condensed-phase thermolysis/Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, simultaneous thermogravimetry (TG)-FTIR, and simultaneous TG-mass spectroscopy (MS) techniques. The activation energy under 3.0 MPa was found to be lower than that under 0.1 MPa. With increasing pressure, the decomposition heat increased significantly, while the peak temperature increased slightly. The non-isothermal kinetic equation of the exothermic process is dα/dT = 1012.5/β × 4(1-α)3/4exp (−1.449 × 105/RT) and the gas products are N2, NO2, NH3, HCN, CO2, and CH2O. Using the thermal decomposition parameters, the self-accelerating decomposition temperature and critical temperature of thermal explosion were calculated to be 191.4 °C and 204.4 °C, respectively. The specific heat capacity of ENPEA was studied by micro-DSC and the molar-heat capacity was found to be 570.9 J mol−1 K−1. Adiabatic time-to-explosion of ENPEA was calculated to be 18.2 s. These results are important in evaluating the thermal stability and application prospects of ENPEA.

The total weight loss was increased by 2.56%; however, the residue amount was significantly decreased by 83.86% in the treated sample compared with the control sample.

Characteristics of graphene/4H-SiC/graphene photodetector based on hydrogenated multilayer-graphene electrode

By utilizing a Joule heating decomposition method, hydrogenated multilayer graphene (MLG) has been grown on the surface of a semi-insulation 4H-SiC epitaxial layer. The Raman spectra have indicated that the sublimation speed of Si atoms, which corresponds positively to the Joule heat, had great influence on the hydrogenation degree and the layer number of the MLG. Then, a graphene/4H-SiC/graphene photodetector was fabricated and studied, showing hydrogenation-dependent dark current and photocurrent, depicting the influence of hydrogenation degree and the layer number on the Schottky barrier high (varying from 0.59 to 0.99 eV).

Study on Nano‐Metal Oxide and Carbon Nanotube Composites on Thermal Decomposition of Potassium Perchlorate

In this study, novel carbon nanotube (CNT) and transition‐metal oxides (TMOs) nanoparticle catalysts were prepared and their effects on the thermal decomposition of potassium perchlorate (KP) were investigated. Nanocatalysts have been widely studied because of their excellent properties, such as the high surface energies of nanoparticles and their ease of agglomeration adversely affect their catalytic performances. Good dispersion is the key to good nanocatalytic activity. The composite catalysts were prepared by loading a nanocatalyst on CNTs; this improves nanoparticle dispersion, promotes electron transfer during the reaction, and increases the catalytic effect. Different types of CNT‐based composite catalysts and their corresponding single nanocatalysts were each added to KP. The effects of the catalysts on the thermal decomposition of KP were studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The activity of each catalyst was evaluated on the basis of the changes in the thermal decomposition peaks and the apparent decomposition heats. The results show that the activity of a composite catalyst in KP thermal decomposition is much higher than that of its corresponding single nanocatalyst.

Facile preparation of Cr2O3 nanoparticles and their use as an active catalyst on the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate

ABSTRACTCr2O3 nanoparticles were prepared by repeated wet mechanical milling technique. Three drying methods, oven drying, vacuum drying, and vacuum freeze-drying were comparatively used to dry Cr2O3 nanoparticles. These processes can be easily scaled up to 10-kg quantities. It took only 2–3 h to cut bulk size to nanometer by milling. The obtained Cr2O3 nanoparticles are semi-spherical and homogeneous with an average size of 30 nm measured by SEM and TEM and show similar diffraction peak positions to bulk one investigated by XRD. The TG/DSC study indicated that, compared with bulk Cr2O3, Cr2O3 nanoparticles obtained by oven drying and vacuum drying, the catalytic performance of Cr2O3 nanoparticles obtained by vacuum freeze-drying is the best in lowering the peak temperature of high temperature decomposition and the activation energy, while increasing the apparent decomposition heat and the reaction rate constant of ammonium perchlorate (AP) due to their good dispersion and large specific surface area. The possible catalytic mechanism of Cr2O3 on the thermal decomposition of AP was proposed by TG-MS analysis. These findings showed that wet mechanical milling technique combined with vacuum freeze-drying technology is suitable for efficient preparation of Cr2O3 nanoparticles, which could be a promising additive for accelerating the thermal decomposition of AP.

Tailoring the structure of Kevlar nanofiber and its effects on the mechanical property and thermal stability of carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber

ABSTRACTWater‐dispersible hydrolyzed Kevlar nanofibers (hANFs) prepared by acid‐assisted hydrothermal treatments of Kevlar nanofibers (ANFs) were first incorporated into carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (XNBR) by a latex co‐coagulation method. The obtained hANFs maintained the one‐dimensional nanofibrous morphology and crystal structure as ANFs. There were amounts of polar groups appearing at the end of hANFs molecular chains after hydrothermal process, which led to the strong hydrogen bonding interaction between the filler and XNBR matrix. The results indicated that hANFs had significant reinforcement effects on the mechanical properties, crosslink density, and thermal stability of XNBR matrix. In comparison with those of neat XNBR, the tensile strength, tear strength, crosslink density, and maximum heat decomposition temperature (Tmax) of XNBR/hANFs nanocomposites filled with 7 phr hANFs increased by 236%, 161%, 35%, and 19.64 °C, respectively. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Therefore, the Biofield Energy treated sample can be used in nutraceutical/pharmaceutical formulation, which would show a better bioavailability and therapeutic response against various infections in comparison to the control sample.

Effect of NQ content on the thermal decomposition of nitroguanidine propellant using isoconversional methods

The effect of nitroguanidine (NQ) content on thermal decomposition of nitroguanidine propellants was studied using three nitroguanidine propellants with different NQ contents (10%, 30% and 47%) and one double-base propellant. The thermal decomposition was investigated by high-pressure differential scanning calorimetry. Results show that heat flow curves of the four tested formulations all had only one exothermic peak, and as the heating rate increased, both the peak temperature and the decomposition heat increased. Calculation of thermal decomposition kinetics of the propellants was performed using multiple-temperature programs. Increased NQ contents changed the mechanism of thermal decomposition of the propellant. The reaction mechanism is chemical reaction for the double-base propellant and the 47%-NQ propellant, phase boundary reaction for the 30%-NQ propellant and nucleation and growth for the 10%-NQ propellant. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that, as the NQ content increases, the critical temperature (Tbe) of thermal explosion of the propellants increases, which leads to higher thermal stability for the 30%-NQ content. Thus, among the three nitroguanidine propellants, the 30%-NQ propellant has a lower thermal stability.

Samples of technical-grade cellulose isolated by nitric acid technique from unconventional feedstocks (oat hulls, Miscanthus, and intermediate flax straw) have been treated for the first time with a sulfuric acid–nitric acid mixture to give cellulose nitrates with a nitrogen content of 12.04–12.26%, viscosity 10–14 mPa s, and a solubility in an alcohol–ether mixture of at least 98%, which corresponds to industrial lacquer-purpose high-viscosity colloxylin and N-grade colloxylin. It has been confirmed by IR spectroscopy and differential scanning colorimetry that the cellulose nitrates from unconventional feedstocks correspond to industrial colloxylins in terms of the key absorption bands (1650–1635, 1279–1276, 831–825, 746, 687–672 cm–1), thermal degradation onset temperature (about 200°C), and specific heat of decomposition (6.28–7.54 kJ/g).

Effect of ionic liquids on the thermal decomposition process of tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) by DSC

Tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) is thermally unstable organic peroxide, which may cause disasters such as fire or explosion when excessive heat released due to thermal decomposition. Ionic liquid is often used as a catalyst and inhibitor in engineering applications recently. This study investigated the thermal decomposition characteristics of TBPB when added two different ionic liquids which are 1-Propyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide ([PMIM][I]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]) respectively with different mass ratio under DSC tests. Characteristic parameters such as the onset exothermic temperature (T0) and heat of decomposition (ΔHd) of samples were compared. Kinetic parameters such as activation energy Ea were computed using two isoconversional methods which were Ozawa method and Friedman method respectively. The model based (zeroth order reaction) estimation method was used to estimate TMRad at T0 from non-isothermal DSC measurements to assess the thermal hazard of five samples. The paper aims to study the effect of ionic liquids (ILs) on the thermal decomposition of TBPB and analysis the influence of two ionic liquids on the decomposition mechanism of TBPB.

Experimental and numerical simulation study of the thermal hazards of four azo compounds.

Azo compounds (azos) possess diverse exothermic properties that enable their application in numerous industrial processes, but these properties also engender a corresponding diversity of thermal hazard profiles. This study employed an innovative approach to determine the specific thermal reactions and decomposition hazard profiles of azos. Four typical azos (AIBN, AMBN, ABVN, and AIBME) were assessed using three thermal calorimetry techniques, and results were subsequently analyzed using a nonlinear optimization model. Thermal hazard analysis of small-scale experiments indicated that AIBN had a heat decomposition of 1247 J/g and a maximum pressure increase of 367 psig and thus exhibited more hazardous characteristics than did AMBN, ABVN, and AIBME. This study also obtained the relevant process safety parameters, time to maximum rate, onset and peak temperature, adiabatic temperature rise, and rate of pressure increase to use for later scaled-up applications. The findings of this study can be used to develop a predictive model for the thermal behavior of azos and to provide the necessary basis for the design and selection of precise treatment and appropriate safety systems.
