Weathering modification of acrylic emulsion by introducing UV absorbing groups

A new kind of UV-absorbing silicon-fluorinated acrylic emulsion was prepared by emulsion polymerization with 4-allyloxy-2-hydroxybenzophenone, 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) and hexafluorobutyl methacrylate (HFMA) as functional monomers. The emulsion and its coating were characterized by transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet absorption spectrum,thermo-gravimetric analysis, water contact angle (CA), and artificial accelerated aging test. The results indicated that the emulsion with core-shell structure was synthesized and showed prominent absorption peaks at 320 and 350 nm. The water CA of the coating was increased from 70.2° to 86.7° because of the incorporated HFMAs and MPSs. Both of the initial and final decomposition temperatures of the coating were increased by more than 20°C compared with those of the unmodified coating. After 10 days of accelerated aging, the color difference (ΔE) and rate of loss of gloss (ΔG) were only 2.78% and 5.22%, while those of the unmodified coating were as high as 22.94% and 78.57%, respectively. Because of the UV absorbers were incorporated by chemical reaction, the new coating had a more durable and effective anti-ultraviolet performance compared with the coatings the UV absorbers were introduced by physical blending.

Accelerated electrospark deposition and the wear behavior of coatings

Electrospark deposition (ESD) is a coating process that is featured by low heat input to the substrate. Low coating efficiency and other limitations influence its wider application. The present paper introduces newly designed ESD equipment, by which a higher coating rate can be reached. The relationship among coating thickness, surface roughness, and process parameters such as pulse energy, pulse frequency, and deposition time are presented. Electrospark deposition coating by the new equipment on AISI 1045 steel (with WC-8% Co as electrode) increases the wear resistance by 5 to 8 times. The micromechanism is investigated by scanning electron microscopy observation.     

用双层辉光等离子法在钛表面制备的Ti-Pd合金层性能研究

采用双层辉光等离子冶金技术在纯钛表面制备了Ti—Pd合金层。其深度大约为90μm，Pd含量呈梯度变化，并出现了TiPd3，TiPd2，Ti2Pd3，Ti3Pd5，TiPd，Ti4Pd等6种化合物相和Pd相。合金层在100℃的NaCl饱和溶液＋HCl溶液以及40℃的8．6％H2SO4溶液中的耐缝隙腐蚀性能优于Ti0．2Pd合金；在室温80％H2SO4的溶液中，腐蚀速率仅为0．682mm／a，是Ti0．2Pd合金的18．2％：在室温30％HCl的溶液中，表面Ti—Pd的腐蚀速率仅为0．004mm／a，是Ti0．2Pd合金的12．5％。     

医用钴基合金的组织结构及耐腐蚀性能

以锻造CoNiCrMo，CoCrMo和CoCrMoC台会为研究对象，通过金相观察，XRD分析和耐腐蚀试验，研究了3组合金在不同热处理条件下的显微结构，相成分及在Hi同溶液中的耐腐蚀性能。结果表明：2组锻造合金的再结晶温度都是1000℃，且晶粒尺寸随着固溶温度升高和时效时间延长而逐渐变大。3组试样在NaCl溶液中为钴基合金典型的阳极极化曲线；在Hanks’溶液中均有一个二次钝化行为，且锻造CoNiCrMo合金的二次钝化区域较窄，而其他2组合金则较宽；在含柠檬酸三钠的溶液中过钝化电位降低，柠檬酸盐的存在降低了含金的耐腐蚀性能。热处理对合金的耐腐蚀性能影响不大。

Dual–primal proximal point algorithms for extended convex programming

This paper presents a class of dual–primal proximal point algorithms (PPAs) for extended convex programming with linear constraints. By choosing appropriate proximal regularization matrices, the application of the general PPA to the equivalent variational inequality of the extended convex programming with linear constraints can result in easy proximal subproblems. In theory, the sequence generated by the general PPA may fail to converge since the proximal regularization matrix is asymmetric sometimes. So we construct descent directions derived from the solution obtained by the general PPA. Different step lengths and descent directions are chosen with the negligible additional computational load. The global convergence of the new algorithms is proved easily based on the fact that the sequences generated are Fejér monotone. Furthermore, we provide a simple proof for the O(1/t) convergence rate of these algorithms.
