Polyaniline for corrosion prevention of mild steel coupled with copper

Polyaniline emeraldine base/epoxy resin (EB/ER) coating was investigated for corrosion protection of mild steel coupled with copper in 3.5% NaCl solution. EB/ER coating with 5-10 wt% EB had long-term corrosion resistance on both uncoupled steel and copper due to the passivation effect of EB on the metal surfaces. During the 150 immersion days, the impedance at 0.1 Hz for the coating increased in the first 1-40 days and subsequently remained constant above 10⁹ Ω cm², whereas that for pure ER coating fell below 10⁶ Ω cm² after only 30 or 40 days. Immersion tests on coated steel-copper galvanic couple showed that EB/ER coating offered 100 times more protection than ER coating against steel dissolution and coating delamination on copper, which was mainly attributed to the passive metal oxide films formed by EB blocking both the anodic and cathodic reactions. Salt spray tests showed that 100 μm EB/ER coating protected steel-copper couple for at least 2000 h.

Thermal stability of composite phase change material microcapsules incorporated with silver nano-particles

This paper reports a study on the thermal stability of phase change material microcapsules that are incorporated with silver nano-particles (Ag-NPs). The novel microcapsules were fabricated by the technique of in situ polymerization, with aminoplast as the wall and phase change material bromo-hexadecane (PCM BrC16) as the core. Thermal gravimetry (TG) analysis was applied to measure the thermal stability of these microcapsules and surface morphology of the microcapsules was observed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) after an application of curing treatment at 130 °C. Comparing with conventional phase change material microcapsules (PCMMs), nano-composite phase change material microcapsules (NCPCMMs) have higher thermal stability. This can be attributed to nano-composite structure of the microcapsules, in which metal Ag-NPs distributed on the surface to increase wall toughness and strength. The possible reinforcement mechanisms of the nano-composite structure are explored.     

Novel tin‐coupled star‐shaped medium vinyl butadiene rubber. I. Arm number and its effect on properties

To achieve low rolling resistance, high wet grip, and favorable overall performance, star‐shaped medium vinyl butadiene rubber (S‐MVBR) was designed and prepared by “core‐first” method, where novel multifunctional organolithium containing Sn atom as initiator, THF as structure regulator, and carbon–hydrogen compound as solvent. The results showed that coupling reaction between SnCl₄ and dilithium is stoichiometrical, and this method has much higher efficiency than the “arm‐first” method. When dilithium is composed of 4–10 repeating units, the average arm number of S‐MVBR is conveniently controlled between 3 and 5 by initiator functionality, which can be easily regulated by the mole ratio of active lithium of dilithium short chain to Cl^? in SnCl₄. As Sn coupling decreases numbers of noncrosslinking free ends, S‐MVBR has lower rolling resistance, dynamic heating and higher wet grip than linear MVBR. Meanwhile, mechanical properties and processing properties are improved. And the formation of multiarm structure has little effect on viscosity. S‐MVBR with arm number of 3.8 has optimal overall performance. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 104: 3917–3923, 2007     

Content-aware optimization on rate-distortion and network traffic for scalable video multicast networks

This paper aims to optimize the content-aware prioritization of scalable video multicast, which is coupled with multipath streaming and network coding based routing. It constructs multiple layer distribution meshes for the scalable video stream to minimize the total video distortion at all the receivers, determines the base layer meshes with minimum costs to maintain application-layer QoS and the layer synchronization of SVC streaming, and improves the network throughput by encouraging path-overlapping transmissions and thus allowing bandwidth sharing among different receivers for the same video layer by utilizing network coding. The targeted problem is formulated into a minimization programming in which the quality variation between layers, the transmission cost of the base layer, as well as the efficient resource utilization are jointly considered. By decomposition and dual approach, the global convex problem is solved by a two-level decentralized iterative algorithm. The implementation of the distributed algorithm is discussed with regard to the communication overhead, and the convergence performance is validated by numerical experiments. Packet-level simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm could approximately achieve the maximum flow rates determined by Max-Flow Min-Cut Theorem and benefit the overall received video quality.     

Algorithms for invariant long-wave infrared face segmentation: evaluation and comparison

This paper presents two methods for automatic segmentation of images of faces captured in long wavelength infrared, allowing a wide range of face rotations, expressions and artifacts (such as glasses and hats). We also present the validation of segmentation results using a recognition method to show the impact of the segmentation accuracy on the recognition. The paper presents two different approaches (one aimed at real-time performance and the other at high accuracy) and compares their performance against three other previously published methods. The proposed approaches are based on statistical modeling of pixel intensities and active contour application, although several other image processing operations are also performed. Experiments were performed on a total of 893 test images from four public available databases. The obtained results improve on previous existing methods up to 29.5 % for the first measure error (E ₁) and up to 34.7 % for the second measure (E ₂), depending on the method and database. Regarding the computational time, our proposals improve up to 63.32 % when compared with the other proposals. We also present the validation of the various segmentation methods that are presented by applying a face recognition method.
