A novel method to make a porous material having relatively large cell diameter (200–300 m), which consisted of mainly poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE), was developed from aqueous PTFE dispersion by using the characteristics of hydrogel with the addition of carbon nanofiber (CNF). The porous material was produced as follows: firstly, an aqueous agar gel containing PTFE and CNF was prepared; secondly, the gel was freeze-dried; thirdly, the dried gel was heat-treated at 400°C where the agar was almost decomposed and PTFE became molten. The porous material showed electric conductivity (about 50 ), high porosity (about 96 vol%), and relatively uniform cell structures without shrinkage during freeze drying and heat treatment. While the method without CNF resulted in large shrinkage during heat treatment, meaning that CNF prevented the shrinkage. It was explained by the idea that the existence of rigid CNF, which was dispersed in the cell wall, prohibited the shrinkage of PTFE during heat treatment. It was unexpectedly found by SEM analysis that the porous materials had another macro-porous structure inside the cell wall, suggesting that the developed materials had a double porous structure. 相似文献
α,β,β-Trifluoroethylenesulfonyl fluoride (TFESF) was grafted onto polyethylene (PE) film by a simultaneous-irradiation method. The influences of the grafting conditions were analyzed kinetically. The dependencies of the grafting rate on the dose rates and monomer concentrations ranging from 10 to 75% were found to be of 1 and 0 order, respectively. The overall activation energy for the graft polymerization was 2.05 × 104 J/mol. The grafting rate was found to be independent of the film thicknesses ranging from 25 to 100 μm. 相似文献
The effect of particle agglomeration on sintering has been studied by slipcasting suspensions with pH values ranging from 2 to 11. The rate of densification has been found to depend on the degree of agglomeration. Complete dispersion of alumina primary particles has not been attained through adjustment of pH of suspensions, and agglomerates also remained in the best-dispersed suspension. Elimination of the agglomerates by sedimentation lowered the densification temperature of slip-cast compacts. The grain size-density curve is a function of temperature. High-density and small-grained sintered bodies were obtained by low-temperature long-time firing. 相似文献
We report fast computation of computer-generated holograms (CGHs) using Xeon Phi coprocessors, which have massively x86-based processors on one chip, recently released by Intel. CGHs can generate arbitrary light wavefronts, and therefore, are promising technology for many applications: for example, three-dimensional displays, diffractive optical elements, and the generation of arbitrary beams. CGHs incur enormous computational cost. In this paper, we describe the implementations of several CGH generating algorithms on the Xeon Phi, and the comparisons in terms of the performance and the ease of programming between the Xeon Phi, a CPU and graphics processing unit (GPU). 相似文献
Preparation of BaLa2O4, Ba3,Y4O9, Ba,In2O5, and Ba3Ga2O6 powders and their sintering were investigated in Ar or air. These sintered bodies with perovskite-related structure were synthesized by reaction sintering, using mixed powders in the atomic ratios of Ba/La = 1, Ba/Y = 0.75, Ba/In = 1, and Ba/Ga = 1.5. The order-disorder transition temperatures of the BaLa2O4, Ba3Y4O9, Ba2In2O5, and Ba3Ga2O6 sintered bodies were 270°, 350°, 880°, and 123OoC, respectively. It was found that the temperatures were influenced by the ionic radius of cations in B sites, and the transition temperatures decreased with increasing ionic radius. 相似文献
Summary: Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) particles with micro‐size ranges (0.15–2 μm) were prepared by emulsion and dispersion polymerizationa and in supercritical carbon dioxide media. The PAN particles were blended with Nylon 6 (PA6) at 220 °C by using a miniature mixer; it was found that melt‐mixing was possible for PAN‐rich compositions as high as 70 wt.‐%. Blends were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, IR, viscosity measurements, differential scanning calorimetry, and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). The size and shape of original PAN particles were retained in PAN/PA6 blends. The useful range to blend PAN particles size was less than 1 μm in terms of shape retention of the PAN particles in blends. Blends with 40 wt.‐% PAN content were found to be melt‐processable. The elastic modulus was higher for PAN/PA6 blends than pure PA6.

As a soft and flexible porous structure, a pore array of a steroid cyclophane SC(OH), which consists of the rigid 1,6,20,25-tetraaza[6.1.6.1]paracyclophane
ring connected to four steroid moieties (cholic acid) through flexible L-lysine spacers, was prepared at the air-water interface.
As confirmed by surface pressure (π)-molecular area (A) isotherms, transition between open conformation and cavity conformation
of the SC(OH) molecule was reversibly induced upon repeated compression and expansion of its monolayer at pH 11 where amino
groups of the lysine residues are not fully deprotonated. Capture and release of an aqueous fluorescent guest (TNS) by SC(OH)
was observed upon dynamic cavity formation through surface fluorescence spectroscopy. At pH 12, dynamic cavity formation of
SC(OH) was sufficiently suppressed, and the capture and release of an aqueous TNS by the monolayer was not virtually observed.
Lessened electrostatic repulsion between the SC(OH) molecules due to conversion of ammonium to free amine may prevent the
cavity from reopening. The importance of dynamic nature of cavity formation on the guest binding was also proved by control
experiments using SC(H), which cannot form cavity conformation at any surface pressures at both pH 11 and 12. 相似文献
High thermoelectric figure of merit semiconducting ceramics of n -type iron disilicide with modified local compositions have been developed. Sintering and annealing of the composite powder composed of iron disilicide and precipitated cobalt (II) hydroxide resulted in the dissolution of excess Co and oxygen into the iron disilicide phase. Excess Co segregated to the grain boundary region, while interstitially incorporated oxygen was distributed homogeneously in the microstructure. The maximum figure of merit achieved was 5.2 × 10−4/K at 673 K. 相似文献
Effects of hydrostatic extrusion on the thermal properties of polycarbonate (PC) and of high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) were studied using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurements. A glass transition temperature (Tg) and a peak temperature were determined from the DSC curves for both PC and HIPS extrudates. The Tg values of the PC extrudates, with a percentage reduction in area, R, from 40 to 50%, change appreciably from the value for the as–received PC. The results of the hydrostatic extrusion of the PC billets suggest that a two stage deformation process of molecular chains may be involved. Shear-banding is observed for HIPS extrudates with R = 30 to 60%; this fact indicates that a sub-glass transition (β-transition) occurs at temperatures below Tg. It is suggested that the molecular chains of the HIPS extrudate with R = 70% are oriented in the direction of hydrostatic extrusion. The deformation mechanism of molecular chains caused by the hydrostatic extrusion is discussed. 相似文献
