Hygroresponsive Torsional Yarns and Actuators Based on Cascade Amplification of the Deformation

Fiber-based hygroresponsive torsional actuators provide desirable merits, such as light weight and shapeability, for developing smart systems to harvest energy from moisture which is a ubiquitous natural resource. A key challenge in this development is to realize moisture-triggered actuation combining large actuation and rapid responses. Here, a multiscale design strategy is explored to create high-performance hygroresponsive torsional actuators consisting of chitosan and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The superior actuation performance arises from the synergism of contributing factors at different scales, including 1) MWNCTs accelerate the water transport in primary twisted fibers (PTFs), fostering the rotation of PTFs upon moisture stimuli; 2) in situ-formed hierarchically-assembled twists realize cascade amplification of moisture-triggered actuation. Specifically, PTFs are self-twisted to generate secondary helical yarns, that are subsequently over-twisted to yield tertiary coiled yarn. The resultant yarn actuator can reach a maximum rotation speed of 11 400 rpm in 5 s, output gravitational potential energy of 2.4 J kg⁻¹ and gravitational potential power of 0.053 W kg⁻¹ during contraction. This work represents the first design of fiber-based actuators by virtue of moisture-triggered in situ formation of yarns. The established principles of multiscale design will enable high-performance fiber-based hygroresponsive actuators toward advanced intelligent textile and soft robotics.

延缓与加速A1-Cu合金时效析出反应的研究

研究了溶质原子浓度、Si晶体第二相、残余形变、外加莫来石(Mullite)短纤维及其交互作用，对二元Al—Cu合金时效析出行为的影响。试验材料采用挤压铸造方法制备，复合材料中纤维体积分数为18％。实验结果表明：随溶质原子浓度的升高，A1-Cu二元合金中GP，θ″和θ′相的析出都得到了相应加快；Si含量超过一定值后，随Si含量增加，A1-Cu-Si合金中GP区形成受到抑制，而θ″和θ′相的析出得到加快；形变对GP区的抑制和对θ″，θ′和θ相的加速析出具有十分明显的作用；纤维本身除对GP区抑制和对θ″，θ′相的析出加速外，还会与溶质原子、合金元素或第二相以及残余形变交互作用，使GP区被抑制，而θ″，θ′甚至θ相被加速析出等现象进一步加强。用位错理论能较好地解释析出反应延缓与加速的微观机理。

A new LCL-lens array with electrodes of interlaced structure to be applied for auto-stereoscopic 3D displays

A new design of the liquid crystal lenticular (LCL) lens array with interlaced electrodes is proposed to realize an auto-stereoscopic 3D display. The structure of interlaced electrodes aims to generate a desired non-uniform electric filed to improve the focusing ability of the LCL-lens array with lower voltage drives. This paper is organized as first to describe the design criteria of a lenticular lens sheet for wide extended graphics array LCD panel. Based on the designed lenticular lens array, an LCL-lens array with proposed interlaced electrodes is next designed. The fabrication and the detailed structure are given. A series of experiments are then conducted and successfully verify the focusing capability and desired 3D display functions, that is, to separate two images to right and left eyes. Also, the developed auto-stereoscopic 3D display is able to adapt to varied viewer locations with favorable imaging quality.

Study of nucleation activity and application of a nucleating agent to copolypropylene

The influences of nucleating agent content on crystallization peak temperature, crystallization curve shape, crystallization onset temperature, and crystallinity of a copolypropylene were studied in detail by differential scanning calorimetry. The results showed that crystallization onset temperature and crystallization peak temperature increased 17°C–22°C and 15°C–19°C, respectively, with increasing nucleating agent content. The behavior of the nucleating agent showed excellent efficiency. But the shape of the crystallization curve broadened with increasing nucleating agent content, and the crystallinity came to an extremum when the nucleating agent content was 0.2%. These results generally differed from those for crystallization of i‐PP by a nucleating agent. Modification of copolypropylene was studied by use of a nucleating agent, and the characteristics of the effects of the nucleating agent on copolypropylene were mastered. The results showed that the hardness of a copolypropylene improved observably. So the abrasion resistance of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film for cigarette packaging was improved by adopting the modified copolypropylene as the skin‐layer heat‐seal material of BOPP film. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
