Organic mesh template-based laminated object manufacturing to fabricate ceramics with regular micron scaled pore structures

A new aqueous slurry-based laminated object manufacturing process for porous ceramics is proposed: firstly, an organic mesh sheet is pre-paved as a pore-forming template before slurry layer scraping; secondly, the 2D pattern is built with laser outline cutting of the dried mesh–ceramic composite layer; finally, the pore structure is formed after degreasing and sintering. Alumina parts with porosities of 51.5 %, round hole diameters of 80 ± 5 μm were fabricated using 70 wt. % solid content slurry and 100 mesh nylon net. Using an organic mesh as the framework and template not only reduces the risk of damage of the green body but also ensures the regularity, uniformity and connectivity of the micron scaled pore network. The layer-by-layer drying method avoids the delamination phenomenon and improves the paving density. The new method can realize the flexible design of the pore structure by using various organic mesh templates.     

Superior Low-Temperature Reversible Adhesion Based on Bio-Inspired Microfibrillar Adhesives Fabricated by Phenyl Containing Polydimethylsiloxane Elastomers

Gecko-inspired microfibrillar adhesives have achieved great progress in microstructure design and adhesion improvement over the past two decades. Space applications nowadays show great interest in this material for the characteristics of reversible adhesion and universal van der Waals interactions. However, the impact of harsh environment of space on the performance of microfibrillar adhesives, especially the extreme low temperature, is rarely addressed. Herein, microfibrillar adhesives fabricated by phenyl containing polydimethylsiloxane (p-PDMS) elastomers with superior low-temperature reversible adhesion is proposed. p-PDMS elastomers are synthesized through one-pot anionic ring-opening copolymerization, and the resulting elastomers become non-crystallizable with excellent low-temperature elasticity. Low-temperature adhesion tests demonstrate that the adhesion strength of microfibrillar adhesives fabricated by p-PDMS elastomers can be well maintained to as low as −120 °C. In contrast, the adhesion strength of pure PDMS microfibrillar adhesive reduces more than 50% below its crystallization temperature. The low-temperature cyclic adhesion tests further demonstrate that p-PDMS microfibrillar adhesives exhibit superior reversible adhesion compared to that of PDMS microfibrillar adhesives, owing to the sustainable conformal contact and even distribution of loads over repeated cycles. This study provides a new fabrication strategy for microfibrillar adhesives, and is beneficial for the practical application of microfibrillar adhesives.     

爆炸冲击波载荷下预制孔铝板的动态响应

为研究爆炸冲击波对破片穿孔后板结构的毁伤效应,使用激波管为冲击波加载设备,对不同孔形的预制孔铝板进行冲击波加载.利用三维数字图像相关(3 D-DIC)技术,分析固支预制孔方形铝板在冲击波加载条件下的动态响应,得到预制孔铝板的动态响应和变形失效过程.结合3 D-DIC结果分析孔形对靶板刚度、破坏形式、承载能力的影响.结果表明:圆形孔靶板刚度最大,圆形孔靶板的极限承载能力最大,菱形孔靶板极限承载能力最差;孔形对撕裂破坏的影响主要体现在孔的角点在靶板分布上.该实验结果对固支板结构的抗爆设计具有一定参考价值.     

Constructing magnetically recoverable CdS/CaFe2O4 P–N heterojunctions for enhanced photoelectrochemical properties towards H2 evolution reaction

A novel CdS/CaFe₂O₄ (CS/CFO) heterogeneous p-n junction was created by thermal deposition of CaFe₂O₄ nanoparticles on CdS rods. The CS/CFO hetero-structured photocatalysts exhibited increasingly efficient visible light harvesting compared to the bare CdS. The CS/CFO composites also presented higher photocurrent and slower decay of photoluminescence, suggesting a better separation of the photo-generated electrons and holes. The photocatalytic H₂ evolution quantity on the optimized CS/CFO composite from water in the presence of ethanol was up to 2200 μmol after 3-h visible light illumination, which is more than twice that of the pristine CdS. The chemical interaction between CdS and CaFe₂O₄ was confirmed by the shifts in the XPS peaks, which made it possible for the charge carriers to transfer across the p-n junction interface. This research highlights the importance of forming an interfacial p-n heterojunction between two semiconductors for efficient charge separation and improved photocatalytic performance.     

人体步态差异性的参数化辨识方法及应用

通过对下肢3 个关节步态曲线建立具有共性控制点的数学模型,提出了以个体的局部形状参数作为区别同一关节中不同曲线的方法.实验采用Perception Neuron 动作捕捉系统,对正常组10 名健康男性青年,验证组2 名健康和3 名处于不同康复期的右腿踝关节损伤男性青年在正常步速下的步态数据进行实验测量以获得髋关节、膝关节和踝关节的上下位移轨迹曲线,并计算得出正常组步态曲线的局部形状参数作为判别步态正常与否的参考调整范围.经分析,验证组中健康被试者的局部形状参数大多属于该范围,而恢复较差的病人参数大多超出该范围,表明该参数化方法可有效辨别步态曲线差异,此外还可对康复评价的方法提供依据.     

Lactobacillus plantarum BC299 can alleviate dextran sulphate sodium-induced colitis by regulating immune response and modulating gut microbiota

It is well known that probiotics are effective in relieving inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, their exact mechanism is still unclear. Herein, we evaluated the effect of novel Lactobacillus plantarum BC299 on dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-induced colitis model mice and investigated the molecular mechanism. We found BC299 could regulate immune response and reduce immunosuppression by enhancing the expression of Th1 T cells in cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppressive model mice. Meanwhile, DSS-induced colitis model mice were furtherly constructed. The results displayed BC299 can restore bodyweight and relieve colon morphology of colitis mice. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction results demonstrated BC299 can regulate immune response by reducing the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA and increasing the expression of IL-10 and TGF-β mRNA. Moreover, BC299 administration reshaped and increased the diversity of gut microbiota in IBD mice. Therefore, BC299 can alleviate colitis by regulating immune response and modulating gut microbiota.

NaCl盐溶液对珊瑚钙质砂导热系数的影响试验研究

作为海岛工程的常用建筑材料,珊瑚钙质砂在海水环境中的热传导特性变化是一个值得关注的问题.基于热探针法测定模拟海水作用试验条件下珊瑚钙质砂的导热系数变化特征,探讨了盐溶液浓度、盐溶液含量、浸泡养护时间等因素对钙质砂导热系数的影响规律.试验结果表明:(1)珊瑚钙质砂导热系数λ值随着NaCl盐溶液浓度M、浸泡养护时间T的增加分别递减,减少幅度逐渐变缓;(2)NaCl盐溶液含量ω极大地影响着珊瑚钙质砂导热系数λ的变化,λ值随ω值的增加而递增,二者具有较好的指数增长关系;(3)上述规律发生的本质原因在于室温下NaCl盐溶液的导热系数λ小于蒸馏水的导热系数λ值,且前者的λ值随着盐溶液浓度M的增加而递减;(4)考虑NaCl盐溶液作用(海水环境)下珊瑚钙质砂导热系数λ的计算模型具有很好的适用性.
