Rapid preparation of hierarchically porous ceramic microspheres based on UV-curing-assisted molding

Ceramic microspheres have attracted significant attention, while the preparation of hierarchically porous ceramic microspheres with high porosity, good sphericity, and controllable size or shape in a short time remains a challenge. Herein, we developed a highly adaptable methodology for the preparation hierarchically porous ceramic microspheres with high porosity and favorable shape in a short time. The UV-curing assisted molding method combined with the Pickering emulsion method was utilized to prepare hierarchically porous ceramic microspheres. Under the irradiation of a UV-curing lamp (395 nm, 50 W), the Pickering emulsion can be cured within as short as 10 s. The microstructures of the three microspheres with different shapes were characterized by scanning electron microscopes (SEM). The as-prepared microspheres had a high sphericity, the interconnectivity of pores was as high as 54 %, and its porosity was as high as 73.4 % ± 3.0 %, while the density was quite low at ∼ 1.02 g/cm³.

MCMR: Maximum coverage and minimum redundant text summarization model

In paper, we propose an unsupervised text summarization model which generates a summary by extracting salient sentences in given document(s). In particular, we model text summarization as an integer linear programming problem. One of the advantages of this model is that it can directly discover key sentences in the given document(s) and cover the main content of the original document(s). This model also guarantees that in the summary can not be multiple sentences that convey the same information. The proposed model is quite general and can also be used for single- and multi-document summarization. We implemented our model on multi-document summarization task. Experimental results on DUC2005 and DUC2007 datasets showed that our proposed approach outperforms the baseline systems.

一种2R1T类球面并联机构的瞬时速度分析

对一种2R1T（R表示旋转,T表示平移）的类球面并联机构进行了瞬时速度分析. 由于机构的动平台中心与基座中心始终关于过3个球关节的平面对称,利用几何法很容易获得动平台的位置解,然而机构的瞬时速度的计算则相对复杂,尤其是角速度的计算严重依赖姿态矩阵或完整雅克比矩阵的正确求解,并且计算效率低、容易出错. 为此,采用Riemann对称空间理论方法,从机构子链旋量系的对称性出发,建立各子链关节运动的约束,从而简化机构动平台瞬时速度的计算,机构所有可能的瞬时速度组成了一个线性空间,这个空间的基正好解释了机构的瞬时自由度. 最后,给出算例验证了该方法的正确性和有效性. 通过ADAMS（Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems,机械系统动力学）软件仿真与理论计算对比,角速度误差控制在-0.004~0.006 rad/s以内,线速度误差控制在-0.01~0.015 mm/s以内,采用对称空间理论方法计算瞬时速度用时5.187 s.     

Power harmonics analysis of programmable AC power source via variation semi-sinusoidal window

Harmonic contents are employed for indicating the quality of the programmable AC power source (PACPS). However, spectrum leakage usually occurs. This paper employs a variation semi-sinusoidal window (VSSW) for performing the power harmonic analysis. Since the rolloff of the sidelobes of the VSSW is fast, experimental results show that the VSSW outperforms existing windows.     

Mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of Si3N4 ceramics with YF3 and MgO as sintering additives

Si₃N₄ ceramic was densified by hot pressing sintering at 1750 °C for 1 h under the uniaxial pressure of 20 MPa in N₂ atmosphere with YF₃ and MgO as sintering additives. The thermal conductivities of SN-YF specimen were both higher than that of Si₃N₄ ceramic sintered with Y₂O₃ and MgO before and after annealing treatment. The grain size and aspect ratio in SN-YF specimen were both bigger than those in the SN-YO specimen, which was beneficial for the creation of high thermal conductive path. On the other hand, the improvement of thermal conductivity by the addition of YF₃ might be attributed to the reduction of the grain boundary phase due to the evaporation of SiF₄, and the resultant reduction of the lattice oxygen due to the reduction of SiO₂ in the grain boundary phase. The {0001} direction of grains had the probability of growing along the hot pressing direction in the SN-YF specimen, which was beneficial for the improvement of thermal conductivity while the {0001} direction grew along the X₀-Y₀ plane in the SN-YO specimen. The mechanical properties of SN-YF specimen were comparable to those of SN-YO specimen.     

Fabrication of cancellous-bone-mimicking β-tricalcium phosphate bioceramic scaffolds with tunable architecture and mechanical strength by stereolithography 3D printing

It is highly challenging to fabricate bioceramic scaffolds mimicking architecture and mechanical strength of cancellous bone. Gyroid structure, which is based on triply periodic minimal surface, highly resembles the architecture of cancellous bone. Herein, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) bioceramic scaffolds with gyroid structure were fabricated by stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing. The SLA 3D printing ensured high precision of ceramic part. The porosity (51–87%), pore size (250 – 2400 µm), pore wall thickness (< 300 µm) and compressive strength (0.6 – 16.8 MPa) of gyroid bioceramic scaffolds were readily adjusted to match various sites of cancellous bone. The gyroid bioceramic scaffolds were more favorable for cell proliferation than the grid-like bioceramic scaffolds. The cancellous-bone-mimicking gyroid bioceramic scaffolds with tunable architecture and mechanical strength were expected to efficiently repair the target bone defects.     

Ultrafast high-temperature sintering of barium titanate ceramics with colossal dielectric constants

Application of Ultrafast High-temperature Sintering (UHS) technique to rapidly densify barium titanate ceramics has been explored for the first time. Bulk ceramic with ~94% density was obtained by UHS at ~1340 °C for 60 seconds. The densification process was accompanied with progressive sample discolouration from light to dark grey. Further analysis indicates that oxygen vacancy and its associated Ti-rich phase Ba₄Ti₁₂O₂₇ are present in the ceramics. Their roles in ultrafast densification and sample discoloration are discussed. Due to the presence of oxygen vacancies, the UHSed ceramics generally exhibit a colossal dielectric constant of ~ 15–30k at 1 kHz, with dielectric loss of ~0.07–0.10, while the ceramics without oxygen vacancy retain a dielectric constant of ~3000–6000 and dielectric loss of ~ 0.06 at 1 kHz which are comparable to that of the conventionally sintered ceramics. Furthermore, the challenges in applying UHS to sinter thick BT ceramics are discussed, aided by thermal simulations.
