Influence of poly(n‐octadecyl acrylate) on mechanical properties,melting behavior,and morphology of polypropylene/aluminum trihydroxide composites

Poly(n‐octadecyl acrylate) (PnOA) was used as an interfacial compatibilizer for improving the performance of polypropylene/alumina trihydrate (PP/ATH) composites in this study. The influences of PnOA on the properties of fire‐retardant PP/ATH composites were evaluated by tensile and impact tests, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation, thermogravimetric analysis, and mass flow rate tests. The results suggested that PnOA significantly improved the mechanical properties and rheological behavior of the PP/ATH composites. SEM observation helped formulate reasons for these differences. A pronounced difference in DSC curves was detected for the composites with and without PnOA when the temperature is near the melt temperature of PnOA. Tentative theoretical explanation was also provided based on related DSC and SEM analysis. PnOA is a promising new compatibilizer for polyolefin composites with aluminum trihydrate as a flame retardant. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Superior reinforcement in polyamide 1010/multiwalled carbon nanotube composites realized by high‐rate drawing and incorporation of compatibilizer

To realize the full potential of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in polymer/CNT nanocomposites, many complicated chemical treatments have been developed to modify the CNTs. Nevertheless, the reinforcing efficiency is still not satisfactory in most cases. In this study, a dramatically improved mechanical enhancement is obtained for polyamide 1010/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) composites simply by exerting high‐rate drawing and incorporating a commercially available compatibilizer. For the fibers prepared at high draw ratio, their tensile strength and modulus are improved by 137 and 132%, respectively, through adding only 0.5 wt% MWNTs. In particular, the increase in strength is at a very high level for the case of non‐covalent interaction since CNTs could be stretched to failure according to theoretical calculation. It is demonstrated that this reinforcement is mainly attributed to the compatibilizer inducing good dispersion, and the high‐rate drawing inducing strong interfacial interaction and orientation of MWNTs.

Investigation of the copper concentration on photocurrent collection of CuInSe2 solar cells

In this study, CuInSe₂ (CISe) thin films were prepared from thermally evaporated Cu/In precursors, having various Cu/In atomic ratio, under the same selenization conditions. The precursors were converted into CISe absorber by annealing in a quartz tube furnace in the selenium vapours at substrate temperature of 500 °C. We developed four CISe films with Cu/In atomic ratio of 0.81–1.19, denoted as Cu‐very rich, Cu‐rich, Cu‐poor, and Cu‐very poor CISe thin films respectively. The effects of Cu/In atomic ratio on grain size, surface morphology, micro‐structure and defect formation of the resulting CISe films were examined. It has been found that the photovoltaic properties were strongly related to Cu concentration, as well as carrier transport mechanism. Defects at the surface and in the bulk of CISe thin films were observed using X‐ray diffraction (XRD), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, XRD revealed that the CISe film surface had a preferred orientation along the (112) plane. The XRD intensity and full width at half maximum of the (112) plane of CISe varied according to the Cu/In atomic ratio. Our experimental results show that the Cu‐rich solar cell achieves conversion efficiency of 4.55% and exhibits an exceptional high short‐circuit current density.

On the performance of a class‐4 partial response digital communication system

Abstract

The dark conductivity of phosphorus‐doped amorphous‐silicon alloys (a‐Si:H:F) prepared by the RF plasma decomposition of a gaseous mixture of SiF₄, H₂ and diluted PH₃ is extremely high; it exceeds 10 (O‐cm)^‐1 with only a small amount of PH₃ (～500 ppm) added in the gas phase. These doping characteristics represent a significant improvement over the doping characteristics of a‐Si:H alloys prepared by a glow‐discharge of SiH₄. The improvement was found to be due to the fact that P‐doped a‐Si:H:F contains microcrystallites which are embedded in an amorphous network. The percolation process in these two‐phase systems gives rise to high conductivity. We have used transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and diffraction (TED) to determine the critical surface fraction, ρ_c, of crystallinity at the onset of extended conduction. The measured ρ_c is approximately 0.46. This percolation limit provides a basis for the analysis of the electrical properties of P‐doped a‐Si:H:F.

A Galerkin isoparametric finite element analysis of acoustic field in lined ducts

Abstract

A Galerkin based finite element method is used to solve acoustic pressure distribution in unlined or lined ducts of arbitrary profile with circular cross section. For isoparametric elements with cubic polynomials as shape functions, two elements per wavelength is proved necessary to keep solution error within 2.5%. Several examples are solved to show the capability of the derived technique, and the results, are good.

External tools for collaborative medication scheduling

Medication adherence—taking medication as prescribed—is critical for successful self-care, especially among older adults. Adherence depends on developing and implementing plans for taking medications. Age-related cognitive declines that affect adherence may be mitigated using external tools that support patient-provider collaboration needed to develop these adherence plans. We tested the effectiveness of structured collaborative medication tools to support better medication planning and adherence practices. Evidence for benefits of collaborative tools has been mixed in terms of their usefulness for medication-scheduling tasks, perhaps because the tools have not been explicitly designed to support patient-provider collaboration. A total of 144 community-dwelling older adults participated in pairs and performed the role of a patient or provider in a simulated patient-provider medication-scheduling task. Each pair worked with a structured (MedTable^? and e-MedTable) or unstructured (Medcard) scheduling tool and completed four problems (2 simple and 2 complex). Performance was measured using the following: problem-solving (medication schedule) accuracy, problem-solving time, solution (schedule) optimality, tool usability, collaborative effectiveness, and subjective workload involved in creating the medication schedules. Participants using structured tools produced more accurate and optimal schedules. They also rated subjective workload as lower and thought that the structured tools were easier to use, reduced subjective workload associated with creating the schedules. There was also suggestive evidence that participants using the structured tools rated more highly the quality of their collaboration. Structured medication-scheduling tools have the potential to improve medication adherence among older adults because they support collaborative planning and reduce the cognitive load involved in creating these adherence plans.
