This research work is carried out to study the friction and wear behavior of parts made of newly developed Nylon6-Fe composite material by FDM. This work also involves the comparison of the friction and wear characteristics of the Nylon6-Fe composite with the existing acrylonitrile butadiene styrene(ABS) filament of the FDM machine. This Is carried out on the pin on disk setup by varying the load(5, 10, 15 and 20 N) and speed(200 and 300 r/min). It is concluded that the newly developed composite is highly wear resistant and can be used in industrial applications where wear resistance is of paramount importance. Morphology of the surface in contact with the Nylon6-Fe composite and ABS is also carried out.展开更多

The effect of temperature, pressure, and solvent ect. on olefin hydroformylation was examined. The results show that for the hydroformylation of various olefins, e.g. 1-hexene, isobutene, 2-octene, cyclohexene, diisobutene, and styrene, the Fe-Co cluster exhibits rather high activity under mild conditions. For example, under the pressure such of 4 MPa, H<sub>2</sub>/CO ratio of 1: 1, at 120℃, 1-hexene was hydroformylated to heptanal with the conversion of 】 80% and the selectivity of 】 95% in 1 hr.展开更多

But the hydrogenation rate of cyclohexene is rather different, It shows a maximum. So we inquire into the reaction mechanism of cyclohexene hydrogenation catalyzed by RhCI(PPh<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>. The rate of hydrogenation was measured at 25±0.15℃, as a function. of catalyst concentration, olefin concentration, triphenylphosphine concentration and hydrogen pressure. The maximum of the reaction rate is interpreted by the formation of RhClL<sub>2</sub>S<sub>2</sub>. The rate determining step is considered to be the reaction of olefin insertion into one of the Rh-H bonds formed by hydrogenation of RhClL3 to H<sub>2</sub>RhClL<sub>3</sub>. The hydrogenation rate of the substrate can be described by a third order equation in terms of concentration of H<sub>2</sub>RhClL<sub>3</sub>. Average error between the results evaluated by this equation and experimental results is about 4.9%. The quantum chemistry calculation gives support to the present mechanism.展开更多
