Hydrogen sensor based on Pd-functionalized film bulk acoustic resonator

We present an application of the Pd-functionalized film bulk acoustic resonator for hydrogen detection. The resonator consisted of an AlN piezoelectric stack and a Bragg reflector has a working resonance near 2.23 GHz and a high performance. A 50 nm thick Pd film was coated on the top electrode as a specific layer to capture hydrogen. The absorption of hydrogen can trigger changes of elastic properties of the Pd layer, which affects the resonance frequency of the resonator. The experimental results show that the Pd-functionalized film bulk acoustic resonator can yield a rapid, sensitive, reversible and reproducible response to hydrogen in the concentrations from 0.3% to 2%. The advantages of this sensor, including the simple fabrication process, ease of detection method, rapid response and high sensitivity and working at room temperature, make this promising in the early alarm of hydrogen leaking.     

医用镁及镁合金表面可生物降解有机高分子涂层的应用

近年来,镁及镁合金由于其生物可降解性和良好的生物相容性,在医疗器械领域的应用获得了迅速的发展,然而过快的降解速率限制了其在临床上的应用。可生物降解有机高分子涂层是一种降低镁及镁合金降解速率的有效表面改性方法,同时还可赋予镁及镁合金医疗器械多种功能性。首先综述了可降解有机高分子涂层对镁及镁合金耐腐蚀性能和生物相容性的影响。可降解聚合物涂层能阻碍腐蚀性介质与基体的接触,从而延长其降解时间。而涂层对基体的保护提供了碱性较弱的环境,更利于细胞的生长增殖;同时涂层随着基体一起降解,可降低聚合物长期存在生物体内可能引发炎症反应的风险。此外,对聚合物涂层在骨科以及心血管支架领域的应用以及进展进行了综述。一方面,可降解聚合物涂层能显著延长镁及镁合金在生物体内的作用时间;另一方面,涂层可以作为载体材料通过携带具有不同功能的试剂或者药物实现医疗器械的功能化,如促进骨愈合和药物的可控释放。因此,可降解聚合物涂层在镁和镁合金器械领域必将起到无可替代的作用。     

Antimicrobial finishing of wool fabrics with quaternary aminopyridinium salts

Quaternary aminopyridinium salts were employed in antimicrobial finishing wool fabrics. The effects of alkyl chain length in the salts, pH conditions of finishing baths, finishing time and temperature, and salt concentrations were investigated. The incorporated quaternary aminopyridinium salt molecules on wool were characterized by FTIR. The quaternary ammonium salt could form ionic interactions with anionic groups on wool, which contribute to the durable antimicrobial functions. All the finished wool fabrics exhibited antimicrobial efficacy against Escherichia coli. The washing durability of antimicrobial functions on the finished wool fabrics was also studied. ©2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 103: 482–486, 2007     

虚构·情理·美丑--从传奇剧《风筝误》看李渔创作思想的双重价值取向

李渔的传奇喜剧具有鲜明的双重价值取向,反映出明清之际中国文学家创作观念中的时代特色与传统桎梏共存的特征。
