Fabrication of poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL)/poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC)/ethylene‐α‐octene block copolymer (OBC) triple shape memory blends with cycling performance by constructing a co‐continuous phase morphology

In this paper, a triple shape memory material was prepared by ultra‐simple melt blending from poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL), poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) and ethylene‐α‐octene block copolymer (OBC). The obtained material possessed a co‐continuous phase morphology and presented an excellent triple shape memory effect (triple‐SME). Theoretical prediction demonstrated that a special continuous phase morphology could be constructed by adjusting the proportions of the blend. Moreover, the results indicated that a close relationship existed between the phase morphology and the triple‐SME of PCL/PPC/OBC. The sample with 35 vol% PPC content contributed to the formation of a continuous phase morphology and exhibited the optimal triple‐SME. Additionally, the sample PCL/PPC/OBC (32.5/35/32.5) showed outstanding structure and performance stability during cycle loading–unloading tests, which evidenced the prominent cycling shape memory property (nearly 100% shape fixing and recovery of temporary shape). Overall, this work could provide an efficient, convenient and recyclable method to obtain high‐performance shape memory materials. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry

Solution processed,vertically aligned,AZO nanocolumn array for chemiresistive sensor application with UV-enhanced sensitivity

In this work, a wide and highly sensitive chemiresistive sensor has been developed based on the AZO nanocolumn array film. This is meant for the room detection of H₂O₂ under UV illumination. A cost-effective one step multi-layers growth process was adopted for the synthesis of the AZO nanocolumn array. The experimental studies were done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission and electron microscopy (TEM).Then X-ray diffraction confirmed that the AZO column array was closely packed, connected, vertically aligned, and polycrystalline, with a high surface area. This structure ensures better electrical conduction over random and separated nanostructures. The hall-effect measurement indicates that the AZO film was n-type, with high conductivity (3.60 × 10³ Ωcm), high carrier density (11.3 × 10²⁰cm⁻³) and with acceptable mobility (0.95 cm²/Vs). The x-ray photoemission spectroscopy suggests that the AZO film consists of a large amount of adsorbed oxygen-related species at the sheath layer of the thin-film, which is vital for sensors. By the UV light activation, sensors based on the AZO nanocolumn array exhibited enhanced H₂O₂ detection properties at room temperature. At a concentration from 15 μM to 30 mM, H₂O₂ sensitivity evaluated by relative response was remarkably increased from 15% to 36%. The operation under ambient conditions and wide range sensing shows that this chemiresistive AZO sensor is adequate for biomedical and environmental applications.     

Effects of risks on the performance of business process outsourcing projects: The moderating roles of knowledge management capabilities

Although business process outsourcing (BPO) can reduce cost and enhance the competitiveness of firms, the implementation of BPO projects is unsatisfactory. By integrating knowledge management capability theory and risk-based view, we develop a model of how different types of BPO risks affect project satisfaction and how knowledge management capability changes the influences of BPO risks. A survey of 121 BPO projects was conducted among BPO client department manager and project manager through a pairwise design. Empirical evidence reveals that social system, technical system, and project management risks negatively affect BPO project satisfaction. However, cultural, technological, and structural levels of knowledge management capabilities weaken the negative risk effects of social system, technical system, and project management, respectively. Different types of risks and knowledge management capabilities should be matched to achieve effective risk management.     

Solidification of Be-free Ni-based dental alloy

A novel, Nb- and Si-rich and Be-free Ni-based alloy was cast by two methods of investment casting and continuous casting to study the microstructure evolution during solidification and its mechanical properties. The solidification of the alloy started with the primary crystallization of FCC-γ, followed by a binary eutectic reaction, with the formation of a heterogeneous constituent: FCC-γ+G-phase, which replaced the low-melting eutectic (FCC-γ+NiBe) in the Be-bearing alloys. AlNi₆Si₃ and γ′ formed during the terminal stages of solidification by investment casting, while the formation of AlNi₆Si₃ was suppressed by continuous casting. The Scheil solidification model agreed very well with the experimental results.     

Numerical modeling of effect of slot on bubble motion in aluminum electrolytic process

A transient three-dimensional (3D) model was established to understand the bubble motion in an industrial electrolytic process. An anode with a new design was tested. It incorporates two slots that allow an efficient removal of gas bubbles. The electromagnetic fields were described by solving Maxwell's equations. The bubble movement was studied with two-way coupling Euler–Lagrange approach. The interplay of current density and bubble nucleation rate was included. The collision and coalescence of bubbles were considered. Random walk module was invoked for involving the chaotic effect of the turbulence. The numerical results were validated by experimental measurements. The results indicate that the current distribution and the bubble nucleation periodically change. Due to the slot, the bubble elimination heavily increases. The contribution of the slot to the bubble removal exceeds 50% in the case of three currents, and the promotion of the slot decays with increasing the current.
