Perceived risk and trust associated with purchasing at electronic marketplaces

Understanding consumer behaviour is of vital importance to consumer-oriented e-business models today. In this paper, we study the relationships between consumer perceptions of risk and trust and the attitude towards purchasing at a consumer-to-consumer electronic marketplace (EM). Typical for EM settings is that consumer behaviour is subject to perceptions of the selling party as well as of the institutional structures of the intermediary that is operating the EM. Building upon the well-established literature of trust, we consider the concepts of intermediary trust and seller trust. We extend this categorisation by introducing the concepts of intermediary risk and seller risk. We developed measurement instruments for intermediary risk and seller risk. All measurement scales have acceptable alphas and are unidimensional. An empirical study is conducted to explore the relationships between the risk and trust types and consumer purchase attitude. The results reveal significant, direct effects of seller trust and seller risk. Second-order effects of intermediary trust and intermediary risk are investigated and reported. The paper concludes with general observations and recommendations for research and practice.

NH_4Cl水溶液在成膜过程中的致孔作用

本文以ＮＨ４Ｃｌ饱和水溶液做添加剂，对ＰＶＤＦ／ＮＭＰ体系在成膜过程中的致孔作用做了研究。铸膜液中随ＮＨ４Ｃｌ水溶液加入量的改变，膜孔径也发生变化，并出现最大值。通过Ｘ－射线衍射扫描发现制膜液中存在无机盐时膜中无定形态结构增加，表明无机盐的加入有助于膜孔形成
