To investigate the relationship between the mechanical properties of silica-filled styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and the amount of bound rubber at the filler/rubber interface, the polymer matrix was extracted from silica-filled SBR using toluene at room temperature. In this study, this extraction process was reproduced by leaching a thermally annealed SBR layer deposited on a Si substrate in toluene at room temperature, where the adsorption layer of the SBR was grown at the interface with the substrate by thermal annealing. The SBR adsorption layer on the Si substrate has two-layer structures consisting of an inner and outer adsorption layers, which correspond to the tightly and loosely bound rubbers on the filler surface of the silica-filled SBR, respectively. For the sample annealed for less than 6 h, the outer adsorption layer, loosely bound to the substrate, was easily leached in toluene for 5 min, leaving only the inner adsorption layer on the substrate. For the samples annealed for more than 24 h, a large portion of the outer adsorption layer remained on top of the inner adsorption layer as a terrace structure. However, even for the sample annealed for 24 h, treating with toluene for 24 h completely leached the outer adsorption layer from the inner adsorption layer, although the inner adsorption layer remained on the substrate. It was found that the loosely bound rubber in the silica-filled SBR could be easily extracted from the filler surface, along with the free polymer chains in the polymer matrix during extraction with toluene at room temperature. In contrast, the tightly bound rubber was not leached by toluene at room temperature. This may be because the interfacial polymer chains within approximately 1 nm of the substrate surface were strongly constrained to the substrate, and even toluene molecules were excluded.

Catechol is a functional group that is versatile and abundant in nature, exhibiting various functions. In this report, a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc)-protected vinyl catechol (VC) monomer was synthesized from caffeic acid, which is a bio-abundant molecule found generally in coffee beans, in order to develop a bio-based adhesive. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of the Boc-protected VC afforded well-defined, bio-based catechol-containing polymers with controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions. Specifically, it was facile to deprotect the pendent Boc groups quantitatively under acidic or thermal conditions to provide the desired P(VC) without requiring further purification. Consequently, the catechol-containing polymer as a primer showed highly strong adhesion against aluminum when coupled with a commercially available polyurethane adhesive.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Polymer Science)Polyrotaxane (PR) exhibits unique mechanical properties due to the ability of its cyclic molecules to move or slide along the axial chain. Thus, to design advanced polymer-based composite materials and organic devices, it is crucial to better understand the aggregation states at the surface and substrate interface in polymer films containing PR. Here, we report the depth profile of PR along the direction normal to the interface when it is mixed with polystyrene (PS). Neutron reflectivity and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that PS and PR segregated at the surface and substrate interface, respectively, and that the extent of segregation depended on the length of PS. The surface enrichment of PS is driven by both energy and entropy, whereas the enrichment of PR at the substrate interface is energy driven.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Herein, we report water-intercalated and humidity-responsive lamellar materials obtained from the self-assembly of sodium acrylate (ANa)/alkyl acrylate (RA) random copolymers. The random copolymers efficiently absorbed water into the hydrophilic ANa/main chain phase from the outer environment to form lamellar structures consisting of the water-intercalated hydrophilic segments and the hydrophobic side chains. The lamellar formation involves controlling the weight fraction of hydrophilic segments containing water to 40-70 wt% by the RA content, hydrophobic side chains, and the amount of absorbed water. The domain spacing can be controlled in the range of 2-6 nm. More interestingly, the lamellar materials reversibly afford expansion and contraction of the domain spacing in the sub-1 nm level via the absorption and release of water, in response to relative humidity. The multilayered lamellar formation process via the intercalation of water was analyzed in situ by neutron reflectometry and atomic force microscopy measurements under humid conditions. The polymer film further served as a moisture-sensitive actuator that macroscopically induces deformation responsive to humidity.

The performance of structural adhesives is strongly influenced by the interfacial structure between the adhesive and adherend. In this study, we developed a nanometric stable interfacial layer derived from an epoxy resin system containing excess hardener. This layer, formed on solid substrates, exhibited excellent structural stability, even after extensive solvent washing. Neutron reflectometry (NR) was employed to investigate its structure under both dry and humid conditions, revealing a robust and well-defined interface that suppressed moisture accumulation at the adherend interface. FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed an excess of unreacted amino groups in the adsorbed layer, enabling further curing reactions with freshly applied epoxy resin. Re-coating experiments demonstrated that the adsorbed layer remained intact after thermal curing, suggesting strong interfacial compatibility. Notably, the presence of the adsorbed layer led to a significant enhancement in adhesive performance. Lap shear tests showed that the adhesion strength of the epoxy resin nearly doubled when the adsorbed layer was introduced at the interface. This approach does not rely on external coupling agents or primers, but instead utilizes a homologous material system to tailor interfacial properties through molecular-level design. The strategy presented here offers a practical and scalable method for improving adhesion in epoxy systems. By directly engineering the adhesive interface using components intrinsic to the epoxy formulation, this method enables reliable and enhanced bonding performance without altering the bulk material.

Sb
. The isomer shifts obtained demonstrate that the Sm valence states in these compounds are intermediate. Since the difference of the isomer shifts in 22.502 keV Sm Mssbauer effect between Sm
and Sm
state is comparable to the 2nd order Doppler shift, consideration of the 2nd order Doppler shift is required to precisely discuss Sm valence state through the shifts of the Mssbauer spectra. In addition, the plots of the isomer shifts obtained by the Mssbauer spectroscopy against the Sm valence states estimated from Sm L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy exhibit a linear correlation except for that in SmOs
Sb. This implies that the origin of the intermediate valence state in SmOsSb differs from that in SmAl ( = Ti, V and Cr).

Neutron reflectivity (NR) measurement of the plasma-treated thin film showed a decrease in the film thickness (etching width: similar to 20 nm) and an increase in the scattering length density (SLD) near the surface (similar to 15 nm). The region with a considerably high SLD adsorbed water (D
O) from its saturated vapor, indicating its superior surface hydrophilicity. Nevertheless of the hydrophilicity, the swelling of the thin film was suppressed. Hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) performed at various takeoff angles revealed that the thin-film surface (similar to 20 nm depth) underwent extensive oxidation. NR and HAXPES analysis quantitatively yielded the depth profiling of elemental compositions in a few tens of nm scale. Si oxidation and hydrogen elimination (probably CH
groups) in the vicinity of the surface region increased the SLD and decreased the hydrophobicity. A combination of Soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and NR measurements revealed the surface chemical composition and mass density. It was considered that the surface near the film was chemically composed close to SiO, forming a gel-like (three-dimensional network) structure that is hydrophilic and suppresses swelling due to moisture, indicating it can be expected to maintain stable hydrophilicity on the film surface.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Chemistry, Physical)Isotactic polypropylene (PP) thin films deposited on Si substrates were subjected to neutron reflectivity (NR) measurements under various humidity conditions to evaluate the isothermal adsorption of water accumulated between the PP layer and Si substrate, with focus on the temperature-dependence of the adsorption isotherm. The adsorption of accumulated water followed a single type II isotherm according to the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) classification, regardless of temperature. This can be attributed to the weak interactions between the PP layer and Si substrate, and between the PP layer and water molecules. Hydrophobic PP does not significantly interact with water molecules and the hydrophilic Si surface. Therefore, the interfacial water molecules are simply adsorbed on the native oxide layer on Si via simple interaction between the water molecules and the silicon oxide surface without being affected by the PP layer. Consequently, the adsorption isotherm of the accumulated water follows the single type II adsorption isotherm regardless of temperature, similar to the adsorption isotherm of water simply adsorbed on exposed silica surfaces. These weak interactions of the PP layer with the Si surface and water molecules also lead to fast diffusion kinetics for the accumulated water along the interface.

We have been developing a methodology for nuclide production and annihilation and decay heat evaluations for High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGRs). We are planning to perform validation of the evaluation method with isotopic composition data obtained from HTGR type fuel irradiation tests (AGR tests) performed at the Idaho National Laboratory. As a first step of this plan, preliminary validation of a calculation code and a nuclear data library to be used in the evaluation methodology should be conducted. We made a calculation model of the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) with a continuous-energy Monte Carlo code MVP-3 and the latest nuclear data library in Japan JENDL-5 on the basis of a calculation input for another Monte Carlo code MCNP5 documented in the International Handbook of Evaluated Reactor Physics Benchmark Experiments (IRPhE). We also calculated effective multiplication factors and relative power densities for the ATR calculation model. As a result of comparison with measured values reported in the IRPhE handbook, the JENDL-5 and the calculation model built with MVP-3 shows an enough calculation accuracy in the ATR. Our results will help us to perform our planned validation of our nuclide production and annihilation and decay heat evaluation methodology with the AGR test data.

High temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is expected to use nuclear heat to wide range of industrial applications such as hydrogen production, which is capable of high temperature heat supply with inherent safe characteristics. JAEA started a High Temperature engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) heat application test project to develop coupling technologies between HTGR and a hydrogen production plant necessary to achieve large-scale, carbon-free hydrogen production. One of the key technologies is a safety evaluation method which can simulate an impact of explosion hazards induced in the hydrogen production plant on reactor facility because HTGR hydrogen production system contains large amount of combustible gases such as hydrogen. A computational fluid dynamics code FLACS has been sufficiently validated for dispersion and explosion of combustible gases such as hydrogen and methane worldwide, however, only few attempts have been made for validation of analysis in closed area with small space. A leak of combustible gases to the piping in HTGR hydrogen production system may occur in case of abnormal condition in hydrogen production plant and therefore an explosion in the piping must be considered. This paper describes the validation of FLACS by analyzing explosion experiments in straight piping and complex piping aiming to establish a safety evaluation method for analyzing explosions of combustible gases in piping.

Researchers synthesized MPC copolymers containing a cross-linking unit (MPTMSi) plus one of four hydrophobic anchoring groups (MPTSSi, BMA, EHMA, LMA) and applied them to PDMS, PP, and PMP. These treatments yielded uniformly hydrophilic, electrically neutral surfaces. Protein adsorption tests showed that PMBSi (BMA) best resisted fluorescently labeled BSA, while PMLSi (LMA) was comparatively weaker, although all four coatings minimized platelet adhesion. Further analyses linked these differences in protein adsorption to varying swelling behaviors in water. Indeed, PMLSi absorbed more water, allowing some protein infiltration yet still repelling platelets. When tested under circulating flow to mimic shear stress, PMMMSi (MPTSSi) and PMLSi coatings on PP and PMP demonstrated excellent durability and platelet repellency. Overall, this study highlights how hydrophobic moieties can boost both hemocompatibility and stability of MPC-based coatings, promising improved performance in medical devices requiring low protein fouling, reduced platelet adhesion, and long-term reliability.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)To investigate the structure of the interface between polyethylene films and substrates, the neutron reflectivity (NR) of deuterated polyethylene (dPE) thin films deposited on Si substrates was measured, demonstrating water accumulation at the interface, even under ambient conditions. After leaching the thermally annealed dPE films in hot p-xylene, NR measurements were conducted on the layers remaining on the substrate, clearly revealing that the adsorption layer of dPE grew during annealing and consisted of two layers, an inner adsorption layer and an outer adsorption layer, as previously proposed for amorphous polymers. The inner adsorption layer was approximately 3.7 nm thick with a density comparable to that of the bulk. The outer adsorption layer was several nanometers thick and appeared to grow insufficiently on top of the inner adsorption layer under the annealing conditions examined in this study. This study clarifying the growth of the adsorption layer of polyethylene at the interface with an inorganic substrate is useful for improving the performance of polymer/inorganic filler nanocomposites due to the wide utility of crystalline polyolefins as polymer matrix materials in nanocomposites.
