    Notes: Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are a relatively new class of materials. These polymers usually consist of rigid rodlike molecular chains and they are capable of forming highly oriented structures even in the as-made product, with strength/modulus significantly higher than those of the conventional flexible chain polymers. Blending of LCPs with conventional polymers produces composite-like structures with LCPs serving as the reinforcing component. The properties of the blends are affected by the size, shape and distribution of the LCPs in the matrix polymer, which in turn are related to the processing conditions such as the blend composition, the extrusion and drawing conditions, the viscosity ratio of the component polymers and the type and grade of the LCPs and the matrix polymers. Improved processability of the blend due to the reduction in viscosity and the improved interfacial adhesion between reinforcing fibers and the matrix polymer are among the advantages of these materials over the conventional short fiber reinforced composites. This paper gives a brief review of the work currently available in the literature on rheology, fabrication, blend morphology and mechanical/thermal properties of the in situ composites from blends of LCPs and conventional polymers.

    Notes: Chitosan fibers were treated with aqueous solutions of CuSO4 and ZnSO4 for different periods of time to prepare samples containing different levels of metal-ion contents. The effect of metal ions on the tensile properties of chitosan fibers was studied. It was found that after chelation of metal ions the chitosan fibers gained substantial increases in both dry and wet strengths. The metal ions were readily removed from the chitosan fibers by treatment with an aqueous EDTA solution. The effect of the degree of acetylation on the chelating ability of the chitosan fibers was also studied. It was found that after acetylation the chitosan fibers lost the chelating ability due to the conversion of primary amine groups to acetamide groups. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A study has been made of the formation of the microstructure of a polypropylene (pp) and liquid crystal polymer (LCP) blend. The pp/LCP mixture was fed into a single-screw melt extruder, and polyblend fibers were made by extrusion of the melt through a spinneret plate. Samples of the melt were taken from various sections of the screw barrel, before and after the metering pump, before and after the mesh filter, before and after the die head, and in the as-made fibers. The microstructure of the LCP phase in the blend was studied with a hot-stage microscope. It was found that the dispersion of the LCP phase in the pp matrix was well completed before the metering pump. Planar flow and compressional strain in the metering pump had little influence on the LCP phase structure, but elongational strain in the mesh filter produced fine dispersion of the LCP phase. It was found that the LCP phase existed largely in spherical particles before the die-head entrance. Although the extensional flow in the die entrance deformed the LCP particles into thin droplets, further elongational strain below the die head is essential if thin and long LCP fibrils are required in the polyblend fibers. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Polyblend fibers were made from mixtures of polypropylene (PP) and thermotropic liquid crystal polymers (LCPs). The as-spun fibers were drawn to produce the oriented structure for the PP matrix. The LCPs were found to exist in thin and long fibrils in the as-spun fibers; after drawing, they were split into short fragments. From a simplified model whereby a single LCP fibril is embedded in a PP matrix fiber, it was calculated out that the length of the LCP fibril in the drawn fiber is directly proportional to the fibril diameter and tenacity, and is reversely proportional to the compressional stress on the fibril and the friction coefficient between the fibril and the surrounding matrix. With regard to the drawing conditions, it was found that a long length of the LCP fibrils can be preserved by increasing the drawing temperature, or by reducing the draw rate. The effect of two-stage drawing on the LCP phase morphology was also studied in the present work. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Chitosan fibers were made by wet spinning of its solution in 2% aqueous acetic acid. The fiber properties were affected by processing conditions, such as spin stretch ratio, coagulation bath composition, and drying conditions. The chitosan fibers were acetylated with acetic anhydride in methanol, producing regenerated chitin fibers. The acetylation process was affected by the reaction temperature, the treatment time, and the molar ratio of anhydride to amine groups. The properties of the acetylated chitosan fibers were studied in terms of thermal stability, solubility, and mechanical properties. It was found that, after acetylation, the fibers had an improved thermal stability and tensile strength. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Description: A novel technique for localization of narrowband near-field sources is presented. The technique utilizes the sensor-angle distribution (SAD) that treats the source range and direction-of-arrival (DOA) information as sensor-dependent phase progression. The SAD draws parallel to quadratic time-frequency distributions and, as such, is able to reveal the changes in the spatial frequency over sensor positions. For a moderate source range, the SAD signature is of a polynomial shape, thus simplifying the parameter estimation. Both uniform and sparse linear arrays are considered in this work. To exploit the sparsity and continuity of the SAD signature in the joint space and spatial frequency domain, a modified Bayesian compressive sensing algorithm is exploited to estimate the SAD signature. In this method, a spike-and-slab prior is used to statistically encourage sparsity of the SAD across each segmented SAD region, and a patterned prior is imposed to enforce the continuous structure of the SAD. The results are then mapped back to source range and DOA estimation for source localization. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is verified using simulation results with uniform and sparse linear arrays where the array sensors are located on a grid but with consecutive and missing positions.

    Description: After extraction from jujube pomace and purification by two columns (DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow and Sepharcyl S-300), the structure of SAZMP4 was investigated by HPGPC, GC, FI-IR, GC-MS, NMR, SEM, and AFM. Analysis determined that SAZMP4 (Mw = 28.94 kDa) was a pectic polysaccharide mainly containing 1,4-linked GalA (93.48%) with side chains of 1,2,4-linked Rha and 1,3,5-linked Ara and terminals of 1-linked Rha and 1-linked Ara, which might be the homogalacturonan (HG) type with side chains of the RG-I type, corresponding to the results of NMR. In AFM and SEM images, self-assembly and aggregation of SAZMP4 were respectively observed indicating its structural features. The antioxidant activity of SAZMP4 against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in Caco-2 cells was determined by activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, indicating SAZMP4 can be a natural antioxidant. Also, a better water retention capacity and thermal stability of SAZMP4 was observed based on DSC analysis, which could be applied in food industry as an additive.
