Flash Lamps as Ignition and Initiation Sources of the VS-2 Pyrotechnic Composition

In the present work it is found that the pyrotechnic composition VS-2 can be initiated with flash lamps IFC-500 and EVIS. VS-2 pyrotechnic composition contains 90% of mercury（Ⅱ） 5-hydrazinotetrazolate perchlorate and 10% of optically transparent copolymer of 2-methyl-5-vinyltetrazole and methacrylic acid （PVMT）. We have found that the flash lamps make it possible to initiate combustion of VS-2 composition with its transition to detonation both in cylindrical charges placed in brass caps of 5 mm diameter and 2 mm high， and film charges with 10 mm×80 mm in size and surface weights of 60 mg·cm^-2 and 90 mg·cm^-2， showing ignition delay times 10 μs and 3 μs， respectively. We also measured detonation velocities for VS-2 composition film charges， which were 4375-4505 m·s^-1 （of the charge being surface mass 60 mg·cm^-2） and 4221-4281 m·s^-1 （of the charge being surface mass 90 mg·cm^-2） and their blasting action on the aluminum plate. The depths of the normal shock wave imprints at the charge-barrier interface were 0.6-0.7 mm （for surface mass of the film charges 60 mg·cm^-2） and 1.2-1.3 mm （for surface mass of the film charges 90 mg·cm^-2）.     

Advantages and disadvantages of nuclear reactions used in reactors or cyclotrons,in addition to a theoretical study based on photodisintegration on natural indium for 111Ag production

Production routes were recorded on available reactions for ¹¹¹Ag production from nuclear reactors or cyclotrons using a natural palladium target based on ¹¹⁰Pd（n, γ） and ¹¹⁰pd（d, n） reactions, respectively.^natCd（γ,x） based on ¹¹⁰Cd（γ, p） has also been studied as a prospective reaction for the production of ¹¹¹Ag. Unfortunately, these nuclear reactions are difficult to utilize because, in some cases, they reduce the specific activi...     

Fe3O4-carbon spheres core–shell supported palladium nanoparticles: A robust and recyclable catalyst for suzuki coupling reaction

Suzuki-Miyaura (S-M) is regarded the most powerful way for synthesis biaryls, triaryls, or incorporating of substituted aryl moieties in organic preparation by the cross-coupling of aryl boronic acid with aryl halides using the Pd catalyst. This work reports the combining of the hydrothermal and microwave-assisted protocol to convert the glucose to magnetic carbon spheres (Fe₃O₄-CSPs) decorated with Pd nanoparticles (NPs) as the catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. The physicochemical properties in the produced composite were examined using FESEM, HRTEM, nitrogen isotherms, Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, XPS, and XRD. The as-fabricated composite Pd/Fe₃O₄-CSPs is mostly spherical with a core–shell structure and possesses a great surface area of 253.2 m²·g^-1. Its catalytic performance demonstrates that the composite has excellent stability and high tolerance Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions in 30 min at 80 ℃. Both activated and deactivated aryl halides provided excellent yield. The as-fabricated catalyst was recycled for up to four catalytic cycles without a substantial decline in performance. Moreover, this research offers a facile roadmap for synthesizing Pd/Fe₃O₄-CSPs composites and promoting the practical implementation of Pd/Fe₃O₄-CSPs catalysts for organic transformation processes.     

2016—2017年北天山地区两次6级地震前地电场异常

地下介质在应力积累过程中，会导致岩体裂隙结构变化，从而使得大地电场E_T的优势方位角发生变化.文中收集了2016年到2017年的数据，利用大地电场优势方位角方法，提取与分析了北天山地区2016年12月8日呼图壁6.2级和2017年8月9日精河6.6级地震前地电场异常，探讨这两次6级地震前的地电场异常表现特征.结果表明:这两次地震前，震中周围的乌鲁木齐、克拉玛依台均显示出显著的地电场异常，即岩体裂隙优势方位角异常；异常特征以突跳和偏转为主；岩体裂隙结构发生异常时间上存在准同步性，表现出短临异常信息.因此，地电场岩体裂隙优势方位角方法短期内具有一定的预报效能，可为今后利用地电场方法预测地震积累经验和震例.     

针织物的3D打印

3D打印属于叠加式制造方式,可创造出多种三维模型。3D打印的缺点之一是制造大型物体时耗时较长。因此,目前最先进的技术仅限于制造小型物体。3D打印与其他材料相结合有助于克服由印刷时间所造成的缺点。如使用传统技术制造的大型物体的特定位置,可由3D打印完成,以创建所需的功能。此前,将聚合物3D打印在机织物上的试验研究结果表明:印刷材料和机织物结构的不同,导致二者之间的黏附力差异较大。该结果也适用于针织物的3D打印。试验所用材料均为聚乳酸(PLA),因其与机织物的黏合力最强。熔融沉积成型(FDM)打印项目,研究了针织织物种类、材料、结构、织机机号等变化,对喷嘴的尺寸、打印高度、印刷床温度等的影响,并对结果进行了总结。同时,对针织物3D打印过程中必需进行的测试进行了展望。
