Controllable preparation of porous ZrB2–SiC ceramics via using KCl space holders

In this work, a novel and facile technique based on using KCl as space holders, along with partial sintering (at 1900 °C for 30 min), was explored to prepare porous ZrB₂–SiC ceramics with controllable pore structure, tunable compressive strength and thermal conductivity. The as-prepared porous ZrB₂–SiC samples possess high porosity of 45–67%, low average pore size of 3–7 μm, high compressive strength of 32–106 MPa, and low room temperature thermal conductivity of 13–34 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹. The porosity, pore structure, compressive strength and thermal conductivity of porous ZrB₂–SiC ceramics can be tuned simply by changing KCl content and its particle size. The effect of porosity and pore structure on the thermal conductivity of as-prepared porous ZrB₂–SiC ceramics was examined and found to be consistent with the classical model for porous materials. The poring mechanism of porous ZrB₂–SiC samples via adding pore-forming agent combined with partial sintering was also preliminary illustrated.     

A novel fabrication procedure for producing high strength hydroxyapatite ceramic scaffolds with high porosity

Hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds were fabricated using the space holder method with a pressureless sintering process in a systematically developed manner at different fabrication stages to increase the strength of the scaffold at high porosity. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were used as binders and space holder agents, respectively. The physical properties of the HA scaffolds were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), linear shrinkage test, and porosity measurements. The mechanical properties of the HA scaffolds were analyzed using compressive strength measurements. The results revealed that the HA scaffold met the expected quality requirements with a compressive strength of 2.2 MPa at a porosity of 65.6% with pore sizes distributed in the range of 126–385 μm. The shrinkage of the scaffold diameter occurred by 20.27%, this diameter shrinkage predominantly to the shrinkage of the HA scaffold caused by sintering. Besides, suspect that a higher PMMA concentration causes pore size shrinkage upon sintering. The formation of pore interconnections was evidenced by SEM observations and the ‘translucent light method’ developed in this study. The results of the scaffold phase test using XRD showed that the final scaffold consisted only of the HA phase, as the PVA and PMMA phases burned out during the sintering process.

针对自由漂浮空间机器人传统路径规划方法对基座卫星扰动较大的问题，提出了一种基于控制变量参数化的路径规划方法。该方法将路径规划问题转化成以基座姿态扰动最小为目标函数并满足一系列约束条件的最优控制问题，并采用控制变量参数化方法进行离散化处理，将最优控制问题转化成求解非线性规划问题，并给出了完整的理论收敛性证明，从而准确地估计出自由漂浮空间机器人末端执行器的最优路径。仿真结果表明，与传统的分解加速度方法相比，该方法得到的运动路径所引起的基座卫星姿态扰动为0.104rad，相比传统方法降低了17.53%，验证了所提路径规划方法的有效性与最优性。

User activities and the heterogeneity of urban space:The case of Dahiyat Al Hussein park

Urban researchers have maintained a constant interest in the complexity and continuity of urban space usage. Some have applied actor–network theory (ANT) to investigate the heterogeneity of spaces and present them through the networks of their users’ activities. However, these accounts are predominantly limited in examining the extent to which these spaces may be heterogeneous when exploring such networks. This paper draws on recent ANT scholarship, which employs an ethnographic research conducted in a main park in a housing project at Dahiyat Al Hussein in Amman, Jordan. The findings describe the complex and unpredictable negotiations that occur within spaces by documenting the varieties and interrelations among user activity networks within this common and shared urban space. This research reveals the extent to which spaces, parks in this case, may be heterogeneous by unpacking their usage. The conclusions and insights assert the necessity of paying attention to design detail and creating designs that are responsive to evolving user activities.

Space charge region effects in bidirectional illuminated P3HT:PCBM bulk heterojunction photodetectors

Organic semiconductors are widely investigated for their application in photovoltaics and photodetectors. We show that the efficiency of these devices is strongly influenced by the position of the space charge region, due to unintentional doping, and wavelength-dependent absorption properties in bulk heterojunctions. Spray-coated P3HT:PCBM bulk heterojunction photodiodes with thicknesses up to 4.2 μm and semitransparent top contact enable the characterization of exciton generation and separation in both irradiation directions. A large difference in external quantum efficiency (EQE) is observed for top and bottom illuminated configurations and is explained by a bias dependent arrangement of the space charge region at the two contact electrodes. Numerical drift–diffusion simulations allow to get insight into first order mechanisms behind the spectral features of EQE data in highly-doped organic photodiodes.
