Synthesis of telechelic monodispersed diols

Summary The synthesis of telechelic monodispersed diols produced from the radical telomerization of an excess of undecylenol with commercialy available , -dithiols HSC₂H₄XC₂H₄SH (X=0, S or CH₂) initiated by peroxides is presented. In each case, the diols were obtained selectively and quantitatively and they were characterized by both ¹H and ¹³C NMR. Their physical characteristics (Tg, T_m and decomposition temperatures) were determined. Such compounds are thermally more stable than polydispersed telechelic commercially available diols.     

Preparation of β-cyclodextrin/SBS modified asphalts for the improvement of anti-aging,rheological property,and storage stability

Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt (SMA) has been widely used in road engineering for decade. However, the phase separation of SMA was obvious during the transport and SBS degraded after aging. To resolve these problems, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was used to modify SMA in this work. Conventional properties, storage stability, the effect of short-term aging on the morphology, and rheological property for SMA and β-CD/SMA were investigated. The softening point of modified asphalt reached to the maximum of 66.7°C when 1 wt% β-CD was added to SMA, where the penetration had shown the minimum of 80.8 dmm. In addition, the ductility of β-CD/SMA increased to the maximum of 797 mm when the content of β-CD was increased to 5 wt%. Furthermore, incorporation of β-CD improved the storage stability of SMA. Importantly, the aggregation of SBS was observed in β-CD/SMA, but modifiers distributed uniformly after a short-term aging. The rutting resistance and antiaging performances of SMA were also improved by the addition of β-CD. Considering the comprehensive properties of modified asphalt, the optimum content of β-CD was found to be 2 wt%.

An open-source multi-DOF articulated robotic educational platform for autonomous object manipulation

This research presents an autonomous robotic framework for academic, vocational and training purpose. The platform is centred on a 6 Degree Of Freedom (DOF) serial robotic arm. The kinematic and dynamic models of the robot have been derived to facilitate controller design. An on-board camera to scan the arm workspace permits autonomous applications development. The sensory system consists of position feedback from each joint of the robot and a force sensor mounted at the arm gripper. External devices can be interfaced with the platform through digital and analog I/O ports of the robot controller. To enhance the learning outcome for beginners, higher level commands have been provided. Advanced users can tailor the platform by exploiting the open-source custom-developed hardware and software architectures. The efficacy of the proposed platform has been demonstrated by implementing two experiments; autonomous sorting of objects and controller design. The proposed platform finds its potential to teach technical courses (like Robotics, Control, Electronics, Image-processing and Computer vision) and to implement and validate advanced algorithms for object manipulation and grasping, trajectory generation, path planning, etc. It can also be employed in an industrial environment to test various strategies prior to their execution on actual manipulators.     

Novel high strength graphitic foams

A novel high strength graphitic foam was produced through the incorporation of carbon nanofibers into a pitch based precursor. The nanofiber reinforced cellular foams were mechanically tested both from a localized and bulk perspective with results indicating enhanced foam performance with nanofiber addition. The magnitude of increased performance was a result of both the nanofiber itself as well as its heat treatment as an increase in each was found to cause an associated increase in foam performance. The increase in mechanical capability is attributed to the formation of a zigzag structure in the ligaments and nodes of the foam. This zigzag structure serves as an interlocking mechanism, preventing easy shearing of the graphene layers. The in situ fracture mechanics experiment shows brittle behavior of a single ligament indicating that only reinforced foam behaves like that of a carbon fiber.     

Effect of particle dimension on biocompatibility of carbon nanomaterials

With various emerging applications ranging from medicine to materials and electronics, the risk of exposure to nanomaterials is rapidly increasing. Several routes of exposure to nanomaterials exist; the most important being dermal contact and inhalation. In this dermal toxicity study, the cellular effects of carbon-based materials with diameters ranging from micro- to nano-dimension were investigated using mouse keratinocytes (HEL-30). The carbon materials tested included carbon fibers (CF; 10 μm diameter), carbon nanofibers (CNF; 100 nm diameter), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT; 10 nm diameter), and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT; 1 nm diameter). CF and CNF did not significantly affect cell viability; however, MWCNT and SWCNT reduced cell viability in a time-dependent manner up to 48 h, with full recovery of mitochondrial function by the 72 h time point. After a 24 h exposure, cells exposed to MWCNT produced up to 3-fold higher increase in reactive oxygen species than those exposed to SWCNT. The results of this study suggest that high-aspect ratio carbon material toxicity is dependent on dimension and composition.
