Blocked crystallization in capped ultrathin polymer films studied by molecular simulations

The crystallization of capped ultrathin polymer films is closely dependent on film thickness and interfacial interaction. Using dynamic Monte Carlo simulations, the crystallization behaviors of polymer films confined between two substrates were investigated. The crystallization rate of confined polymers is reduced with high interfacial interactions. Above a critical strength of interfacial interaction, polymer crystallization in the thin film is inhibited within the simulation time scales. An increase in film thickness leads to a rise in critical interfacial interaction. In thicker films, the chains have more space to change conformation to form crystal stems. In addition, there are fewer absorbed segments in confined chains for the thicker films, and thus the chains have stronger ability to adjust their conformation. Therefore an increase in film thickness can cause a reduction in the entropic barrier required for the formation of crystals and thus an increase in the critical interfacial interaction. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

Fabrication of Cu/graphite film/Cu sandwich composites with ultrahigh thermal conductivity for thermal management applications

Effective thermal management of electronic integrated devices with high powder density has become a serious issue, which requires materials with high thermal conductivity (TC). In order to solve the problem of weak bonding between graphite and Cu, a novel Cu/graphite film/Cu sandwich composite (Cu/GF/Cu composite) with ultrahigh TC was fabricated by electro-deposition. The micro-riveting structure was introduced to enhance the bonding strength between graphite film and deposited Cu layers by preparing a rectangular array of micro-holes on the graphite film before electro-deposition. TC and mechanical properties of the composites with different graphite volume fractions and current densities were investigated. The results showed that the TC enhancement generated by the micro-riveting structure for Cu/GF/Cu composites at low graphite content was more effective than that at high graphite content, and the strong texture orientation of deposited Cu resulted in high TC. Under the optimizing preparing condition, the highest in-plane TC reached 824.3 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹, while the ultimate tensile strength of this composite was about four times higher than that of the graphite film.     

新型常温捕收剂DN-6对磷灰石的捕收性能研究

为降低北方磷矿厂的选矿成本，提高浮选指标，东北大学研制了一种常温磷灰石捕收剂DN-6。为检测DN-6的浮选性能，进行了单矿物浮选试验，并通过Zeta电位检测和傅里叶变换红外光谱分析对该捕收剂在磷灰石表面的作用机理进行了研究。单矿物浮选试验结果表明，在矿浆pH=7.6，矿浆温度28 ℃，DN-6用量为166.7 mg/L的浮选条件下，捕收剂DN-6对磷灰石单矿物的浮选回收率可达97.59%。Zeta电位和傅里叶变换红外光谱分析表明，pH＜4时，DN-6在磷灰石表面发生键合吸附。     

刮板输送机中板仿生耐磨优化试验研究

刮板输送机中板磨损失效已成为输送机运行故障的主要原因之一，为了提高中板耐磨性，基于蜣螂非光滑单元进行了仿生中板设计，以磨损量为响应值，进行了单因素和响应面法优化试验。根据响应面法试验结果得到的因素显著性影响顺序（从高至低）依次为：径向距离，深径比，直径，节距角。基于试验结果建立了磨损量与因素的回归预测模型，经试验对比发现，预测模型与真实试验的相对误差为3.2%。在特定工况（煤散料粒度为6~8 mm、载荷为20 N、刮板链速为0.65 m/s及试验时长为6 600 s）下，当深径比为1.41、直径为0.69 mm、节距角为6.55°和径向距离为4.66 mm时，磨损量最小，仿生中板的耐磨性提高了12.6%。分析其耐磨机理发现，与光滑板相比，仿生板的磨粒磨损及黏着磨损较轻。凹坑分布可破坏持续切削中板表面的煤粒运动状态。中板的仿生优化可为今后刮板输送机的设计提供一定参考。
