In the absence of additives, tin coatings are rough, and the tin electrodepositing is a single-step reduction process accompanied by hydrogen gas evolution. The addition of tartaric acid produces a slight reduction in the peak current of stannous reduction and has an appreciably positive effect on the stability of the acidic tin bath. Both benzylidene acetone and polyoxyethylene octylphenol ether hinder the stannous reduction and greatly suppress the hydrogen gas evolution. Formaldehyde slightly decreases the peak current density of stannous reduction and serves as an auxiliary brightener in the acid sulfate bath. The presence of mixed additives greatly suppresses the stannous reduction and hydrogen gas evolution and consequently produces a significantly smoother and denser tin coating. The （112） crystal face is found to be the dominant and preferred orientation of tin deposits.展开更多

It exhibited higher catalytic activity and had profitable effect than tetrabutyl titanate and stannous octoate for the synthesis of polytrimethylene terephthalate （PTT） via esterification-route. Over this catalyst, the degree of esterification of pure terephthalic acid was up to 94.4% at 260 ℃ after 1.5 h,while the intrinsic viscosity and content of terminal carboxyl groups of the corresponding PTT polyester, polymerized at 260 ℃,60 Pa for 2 h, was 0.8950 dL/g and 15 mol/t, respectively. Stannous oxalate was a promising catalyst for the synthesis of PTT polyester.展开更多

Their catalytic activity in the esterification process is monitored by measuring the amount of water generated, while intrinsic viscosity (IV) and content of terminal carboxyl groups (CTCG) are used as the index in the polycondensation process. Stannous oxalate shows higher activity than the other catalysts. Decrease in reaction time and improvements in PTT property are observed. The higher catalytic activity of stannous oxalate is attributed to its chelate molecular structure.展开更多

And its molecular structure is confirmed by IR and multielement oil analyzer (MOA). The tribological performances of the organotin as lubricant additive are evaluated with a four-ball friction and wear tester. These experiments indicate that the wear scar diameter (WSD) and friction coefficient are diminished while the load-carrying capability increased by comparison with that of base oil. The elemental composition of the boundary lubricating film is examined by means of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Synergistic effect is found in the load-carrying capability of the complex of SN and sulfured olefin. The analytical results of AES indicate that the good performance of stannous naphthenate is attributed to the formation of a boundary lubricating film containing Sn on the rubbed surface.展开更多

The ring opening polymerization of L-lactide and D-lactide using this cloisite modified solid catalyst resulted in homopolymers of 75,000 and PDI = 1.6 and the maximum molecular weight （Mw） i.e. 180,000 with PDI = 1.9 were obtained. The catalytic activity ofcloisite modified solid catalyst was compared with the conventional stannous octoate catalyst and found superior to stannous octoate in all respect such as conversion, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution etc.. Moreover, the maximum molecular weight i.e. 180,000 was obtained at 220 ℃, whereas, transesterification reaction predominate in presence of stannous octoate The linear structure was confirmed by quantitative ^13C NMR Spectroscopy. Blend films were obtained by casting mixed solutions of poly （D-lactide） and poly （L-lactide） at various compositions, and stereocomplex was formed at 50/50 composition with molecular weight of 75,000.展开更多
