High-resolution carbon isotope record for the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum from the Nanyang Basin,Central China

The Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) was a transient episode of global warming, associated with massive atmospheric greenhouse gas input that occurred at the Paleocene/Eocene boundary. Biostratigraphic and isotope stratigraphic studies indicate that the PETM event is well documented in the marl deposits of the Yuhuangding section in the Nanyang Basin, Central China, with a carbon isotope negative excursion of ~6.1‰ within 19-m-thick marl deposits. This is the highest resolution record of the PETM so far found in the world. The PETM event was triggered within 2-cm-thick marl sediments, with a decrease of δ¹³C (stable carbon isotope ratio) from –3.2‰ to –5.2‰, suggesting a massive methane hydrate release for a transient period that was possibly caused by a catastrophic event. A comparison between marine and terrestrial records indicates a “Three-Phase Model” for the PETM event. Initially there is a rapid negative excursion in the δ¹³C record, followed by a slowly decreasing trend, and then a gradual positive recovery, corresponding respectively to a rapid dissociation of oceanic methane hydrate, followed by a slow release of methane and then the consumption of the released methane.     

原位反应合成聚酯/纳米氧化锌复合材料

以己二酸和一缩二乙二醇按摩尔比为1.1缩聚，合成端羧基聚己二酸一缩二乙二醇酯（PDA），再将其与γ-缩水甘油醚氧丙基三甲氧基硅烷(KH560)反应，得到硅氧烷基化的聚合物（PDA-Si）。将PDA-Si与锌乙醇盐水解和固化交联，形成聚酯/纳米氧化锌复合材料。探讨了温度、含水量等因素对氧化锌形成的影响，并用红外光谱、透射电镜对该复合体系进行了表征。结果表明，该复合材料中形成了氧化锌纳米颗粒，但分散性有待于通过优化有机相体系进一步改进。     

聚(己二酸/丁二醇-co-己二酸/乙醇胺)的合成

以1,4-丁二醇、己二酸和乙醇胺为原料合成了聚'(己二酸/丁二醇-co-己二酸/乙醇胺)（PBEA）预聚体，再以对苯二甲酰双己内酰胺(TBC)为扩链剂对其进行扩链，合成出了高分子量的聚酯酰胺。研究了预聚体分子量、扩链剂/预聚体摩尔比、反应温度等因素对扩链反应的影响。在扩链温度为220?℃，预聚体的分子量为1700左右，扩链剂/预聚体的摩尔比为1.1时，扩链效果最好，所得PBEA的特性黏度达082dL/g。并采用GPC和DSC分别对扩链前后的聚酯酰胺的分子量和熔点进行了表征，发现其分子量成倍增加，而熔点则有所降低。
