Abstract:
Simultaneous impedance analysis of three one-face sealed resonating piezoelectric quartz crystals (PQCs) in parallel is proposed through admittance measurements of the three PQCs on one impedance analyzer and then non-linear fitting according to the parallel combination of three Butterworth-Van Dyke circuits.

Yan Xia CAO , Miao DU , Qiang ZHENG
2004, 15(5): 567-570
[Abstract](499) [FullText HTML] [PDF 1316KB](0)
Abstract:
The study on rheological properties of a series of mica-filled polypropylene (PP) composites was carried out. The influence of surface-treatment of mica particles on dynamic rheological behavior of the composites were dealt with. The viscosity (η) and dynamic modulus (G') of the composite melts were higher than those of PP matrix, especially those for systems treated with silane, which was attributed to the interfacial adhesion enhancement. However, surface-treatment of mica by titanate resulted in lower η and G', as compared with the treatment by silane. The reason for this is believed to be the formation of the mono-molecular layer on the mica surface.

2004, 15(5): 627-630
[Abstract](501) [FullText HTML] [PDF 1599KB](0)
Abstract:
Based on the quantum chemical study of the silylidyne insertion reaction with NH3 or PH3, the general statistical thermodynamics and Eyring transition state theory with Wigner correction are used to compute the changes of thermodynamic functions, equilibrium constants, A factors and rate constants of the two reactions in the temperature range 200-2000K. The results show that both of these reactions are thermodynamically dominant at low temperatures and kinetically favored at higher temperatures. The comparison between these two reactions shows that the SiH reaction with NH3 is more exothermic than SiH with PH3, while the rate constant of SiH reaction with NH3 is lower than that of SiH with PH3 at the same temperature.
