Dynamic response of Ti3SiC2 under shock compression up to 112 GPa

Ti₃SiC₂ is of interest due to its unique dual nature reminiscent of both brittle ceramics and ductile metals at ambient conditions. In this work, plate-impact experiments have been performed to study the dynamic behavior of Ti₃SiC₂ under shock compression up to 112 GPa by using laser velocity interferometer and electric pin techniques. Hugoniot elastic limits (HEL), spall strength, and Hugoniot equations of state have been obtained based on measured particle velocity profiles and shock wave velocities. The ratio of spall strength to HEL for Ti₃SiC₂ is larger than brittle ceramics but smaller than metals. This result indicates that the dual nature of Ti₃SiC₂ remains at least up to 10 GPa. On the other hand, the linearity of the Hugoniot equation of state, $D=6.9\text{0}1(22)+1.153(53)u_{\text{p}}$, suggests that the initial structure of Ti₃SiC₂ should be stable up to 112 GPa, in contrast to the result reported by Jordan et al. [J. Appl. Phys., 93 (2003) 9639].     

Effect of morphology on brittle-ductile transition of HPDE/CaCO3 blends

In this paper, the results of a series of investigations of the effect of morphology on the brittle-ductile transition for HDPE/CaCO₃ blends are summarized: (1) It seems the critical ligament thickness increases with increasing matrix toughness; (2) the interphase adhesion is very important for the toughness of HDPE/CaCO₃ blends; (3) small particles are more effective than large ones; (4) CaCO₃ particle aggregation will reduce toughening efficiency; (5) uniform CaCO₃ particle size is more effective than heterogeneous size for the toughening of HDPE. It is expected that a polymer with higher modulus as well as higher toughness will be obtained by appropriately controlling the morphology of HDPE/CaCO₃ blends. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Investigation and improvement of reversible microfluidic devices based on glass–PDMS–glass sandwich configuration

Reversibly assembled microfluidic devices are dismountable and reusable, which is useful for a number of applications such as micro- and nano-device fabrication, surface functionalization, complex cell patterning, and other biological analysis by means of spatial–temporal pattern. However, reversible microfluidic devices fabricated with current standard procedures can only be used for low-pressure applications. Assembling technology based on glass–PDMS–glass sandwich configuration provides an alternative sealing method for reversible microfluidic devices, which can drastically increase the sealing strength of reversibly adhered devices. The improvement mechanism of sealing properties of microfluidic devices based on the sandwich technique has not been fully characterized, hindering further improvement and broad use of this technique. Here, we characterize, for the first time, the effect of various parameters on the sealing strength of reversible PDMS/glass hybrid microfluidic devices, including contact area, PDMS thickness, assembling mode, and external force. To further improve the reversible sealing of glass–PDMS–glass microfluidic devices, we propose a new scheme which exploits mechanical clamping elements to reinforce the sealing strength of glass–PDMS–glass sandwich structures. Using our scheme, the glass–PDMS–glass microchips can survive a pressure up to 400 kPa, which is comparable to the irreversibly bonded PDMS microdevices. We believe that this bonding method may find use in lab-on-a-chip devices, particularly in active high-pressure-driven microfluidic devices.     

On-chip fabrication of magnetic alginate hydrogel microfibers by multilayered pneumatic microvalves

Alginate hydrogel has widespread applications in tissue engineering, cancer therapy, wound management and drug/cell/growth factor delivery due to its biocompatibility, hydrated environment and desirable viscoelastic properties. However, the lack of controllability is still an obstacle for utilizing it in the fabrication of 3D tissue constructs and accurate targeting in mass delivery. Here, we proposed a new method for achieving magnetic alginate hydrogel microfibers by dispersing magnetic nanoparticles in alginate solution and solidifying the magnetic alginate into hydrogel fiber inside microfluidic devices. The microfluidic devices have multilayered pneumatic microvalves with hemicylindrical channels to fully stop the fluids. In the experiments, the magnetic nanoparticles and the alginate solution were mixed and formed a uniform suspension. No aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles was found, which is crucial for flow control inside microfluidic devices. By regulating the flow rates of different solutions with the microvalves inside the microfluidic device, magnetic hydrogel fibers and nonmagnetic hydrogel fibers were fabricated with controlled sizes. The proposed method for fabricating magnetic hydrogel fiber holds great potential for engineering 3D tissue constructs with complex architectures and active drug release.

在线用户兴趣多样性的实证研究

在线用户的群体兴趣对于分析在线社会网络以及个性化推荐至关重要。研究的目的是引入信息熵这一指标来准确度量用户兴趣的多样性。分别在电影网站MovieLens和音乐网站Last．FM数据上进行实证分析,即统计度相同的用户所选产品的信息熵值。MovieLens的结果表明,随着用户度的增加,熵值出现先上升后下降的趋势,即度小的用户和度大的用户的兴趣比较专一,而一般用户的兴趣较为多样;而Last．FM的结果表明,度小用户的兴趣非常多样,但随着用户听过的音乐数量越多,兴趣越明确。通过建立随机模型与实证结果进行比较,可以发现绝大多数用户在真实数据集上的兴趣的多样性比随机情况要大,可见用户的兴趣对用户行为模式的影响显著。
