A mini review on two-dimensional nanomaterial assembly

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have attracted a great deal of attention since the discovery of graphene in 2004, due to their intriguing physicochemical properties and wide-ranging applications in catalysis, energy-related devices, electronics and optoelectronics. To maximize the potential of 2D nanomaterials for their technological applications, controlled assembly of 2D nanobulding blocks into integrated systems is critically needed. This mini review summarizes the reported strategies of 2D materials-based assembly into integrated functional nanostructures, from in-situ assembly method to post-synthesis assembly. The applications of 2D assembled integrated structures are also covered, especially in the areas of energy, electronics and sensing, and we conclude with discussion on the remaining challenges and potential directions in this emerging field.

Affective matches of fabric and lighting chromaticity

This study investigates the impact of lighting colors on subjective judgments of fabric: in particular, whether the influence of lighting varies depending on fabric types and color combinations. We conducted two visual assessments. In Study 1 (N = 44), eight illuminants and six types of fabric were presented as cloth stimuli. Derived from the literature review, four sets of adjectives (humble-luxurious, cool-warm, old-new, and not preferred-preferred) were used as metrics. In Study 2 (N = 41), five sets of fabric color combination swatches were assessed under lighting conditions that were identical to those of Study 1. Three bipolar scales (ordinary-characterful, classic-modern, and soft-rigid), were employed from factor analysis along with three unipolar scales (luxurious, preferred, harmonious with lighting). The results showed that hue characteristics of lighting and cloth types influenced participants' perceptions of the fabric. Overall, white lighting with 4000 K was the most preferred and luxurious lighting across various types of clothes, while a pinkish white with 4700 K (duv = −0.0127) was the best matched in every color combination. In addition, there were interaction effects between lighting colors, clothes types, and fabric color combinations with regard to each of the perceptual qualities. This study provides empirical evidence for optimally match lighting colors with fabric in the presentation of fabric goods.     

铝合金熔炼铸造能源与资源节约

在铝材生产中,熔炼、铸造工序是能源与资源消耗多的工序,因此,节约资源、降低烧损与能耗有着重要意义。降低能耗还可以相应地减少温室气体与有害、有毒物质排放,对环保有利。中国当前铝合金熔炼铸造能源与资源节约的主要措施:调整加工用锭坯供应结构,大幅提高电解铝厂供应的锭坯,由2013年供应的42%提高到"十三五"末的65%-70%;加快走出去的力度,到国外去办铝厂,将在国外生产的铝合金锭坯运回来,争取2020年出口的铝材与铝制品全部以进口锭坯加工,这是最大的资源与能源节约;加强废铝回收与有效再生利用;加强创新,大力采用新装备、新技术与新工艺;加强管理,精心操作,管理中还有较大的能源与资源节约潜力。
