Co-precipitation synthesis of ZnAl2O4: Cr3+ phosphor for better light penetration in pc-LED

Cr doped ZnAl₂O₄ spinel samples were prepared by the traditional solid state reaction and co-precipitation synthetic route, and the results suggest that the co-precipitation method has some superiority in contrast to the solid state reaction method. XRD, FT-IR, and XPS spectra confirmed that the well-crystallized spinel cubic phase of ZnAl₂O₄: Cr³⁺ samples were successfully formed. The morphology of the samples was investigated by FE-SEM and FE-TEM, and the results show that the samples by the co-precipitation route can generate a smaller size of particles compared to the solid state reaction. Photoluminescence excitation spectra monitored at 686 nm are comprised of two broad excitation bands near 530 nm and 395 nm, and the emission spectra show emissions ranging from 640 to 780 nm, due to the ²E?→?⁴A₂ spin-forbidden transition of Cr³⁺ ions in spinel lattices. The optimized concentration monitored at 686 nm is 1%, while at 693 nm is 3.5%. Compared with the samples by solid state reaction method, the samples by co-precipitation method show preferable luminescent properties, such as the higher photoluminescence intensity and higher quantum efficiency. Several phosphor-converted LEDs were to investigate the applicability of the prepared samples. The results confirm that the phosphor has potential applications in plant growth and supplementing the red region in white-LEDs and the phosphors prepared by co-precipitation are more suitable to be used in phosphor-converted LED devices due to their preferable luminescent properties.

     

Characteristic tryptic peptides and gelling properties of porcine skin gelatin affected by thermal action

Thermal action in extraction process had effects on characteristic tryptic peptides identification and gelling properties of porcine gelatin. SDS-PAGE, HPLC-LTQ/Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry, texture analyser and rheometer were used to evaluate collagen depolymerisation degree, characteristic tryptic peptides and gelling properties of gelatins prepared in various thermal actions. Results showed that with increasing temperature and time, depolymerisation degree enlarged, while gel strength, gelling and melting temperature decreased. Mass spectra showed that 47 and 49 common characteristic tryptic peptides were identified in gelatins extracted at 50 °C and 100 °C with various times, respectively. Moreover, 34 common characteristic tryptic peptides were identified in all gelatin samples. Further comparison between this work and our previous investigations yielded 20 common characteristic tryptic peptides, which stably exist in various thermal actions. These common characteristic tryptic peptides may be very helpful for the accurate authentication of porcine gelatin.     

新型防屈曲高强钢腹板可更换钢连梁抗震性能研究

文章率先提出一种新型防屈曲高强钢腹板可更换钢连梁(简称“新型钢连梁”)：腹板采用高强钢，可提高钢连梁的屈服抗剪强度，连梁变形减小，从而减小可更换结构整体变形，便于更换；加劲肋紧贴腹板(但不焊接)提供约束，仅与上下翼缘焊接，可减少60%以上的焊接量。其次，设计并开展了11个试件的拟静力试验，研究了加劲肋间距(规范限值dmax、0.85dmax)、腹板厚度(6mm、8mm)、腹板钢材强度(Q460、Q550)和构造形式(加劲肋与腹板贴紧或焊接)等参数对新型钢连梁抗震性能的影响。试验结果表明：试件均发生剪切破坏；满足加劲肋间距限值的新型钢连梁，滞回曲线饱满，峰值时腹板未发生鼓曲且极限转角均超过0.1rad，大于规范限值0.08rad，表现出良好的耗能和变形能力；缩小加劲肋间距、增加腹板厚度或提高腹板钢材强度，新型钢连梁刚度及承载力提高；新型钢连梁峰值承载力较传统构造试件低约5%。最后，基于试验结果建立了有限元模型并开展了分析，研究结果表明：对腹板采用Q460、Q550高强钢材的新型钢连梁，峰值承载力计算时超强系数建议取1.43(长度比为0.5～1.0)或1.39(长度比为1.0～1.6)、1.25，以期为实际工程设计提供依据。
