Study on structure-property relationship of polyimide blends

Summary Three pairs of polyimide/polyimide blends (50/50 wt%) with different molecular structures were prepared by two ways, i.e. mixing of the polyamic acid precursors with subsequent imidization, and direct solution mixing of the polyimides. The blends were studied with DMA technique. The results obtained show that all the blends prepared with these two different ways are miscible, as there existed only one glass transition temperature (Tg) for all the blends. It is suggested that the miscibility of these polyimide/polyimide blends is a result of the strong inter-molecular charge-transfer interaction between the chains of their components.     

非水溶剂回滴法测定低镍甲烷化催化剂的表面酸性

本文采用非水溶剂回滴法测定了低镍甲烷化催化剂和载体γ—Al2O3的表面酸性，并与催化剂的活性、组成、比表面积关联。实验结果说明，助剂的种类、含量对表面酸性有明显影响，催化剂催化活性与表面酸性关系不大。     

Influence of organophilic clay and preparation methods on EVA/montmorillonite nanocomposites

Ethylene‐vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA)/montmorillonite MMT nanocomposites have been prepared by using different methods: one is from the organophilic montmorillonite (OMT) and the other is from the pristine MMT and reactive compatibilizer hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (C16). In this study, different kneaders were used (twin‐screw extruder and twin‐roll mill) to prepare nanocomposites. The nanocomposite structures are evidenced by the X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and high‐resolution electronic microscope (HREM). The thermal properties of the nanocomposites were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Moreover, the tensile tests were carried out with a Universal testing machine DCS‐5000. It is shown that different methods and organophilic montmorillonite have influence on EVA/MMT nanocomposites.© 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 2416–2421, 2004     

Solubility of polyethylene in n-pentane at high pressures

The high pressure solubility of polyethylene standards (M_w = 2100, 16400, 108000 and 420000 and M_w/M_n = 1.14, 1.16, 1.32 and 2.66, respectively) in n-pentane has been studied. Concentrations of up to 15 wt% polymer have been investigated. For each polymer sample and concentration, pressures that are required to achieve single-phase solutions have been determined over a range of temperatures. The solutions are found to all show lower critical solution temperatures. Demixing pressures are observed to depend strongly on the molecular weight of the polymer.

加筋生态护坡技术的应用与发展

在越来越注重工程生态性的今天,生态护坡在道路、堤防、城市水利等方面得到了广泛应用。然而很多情况下,生态护坡在强度上无法满足工程设计的要求。加筋生态护坡是土工织物与植草相结合形成的一种护坡形式,在保证工程生态性的同时大大提高了生态护坡的强度,近年来逐渐得到重视与应用。综合介绍了加筋生态护坡的发展历程,将其概括为传统生态护坡、普通加筋生态护坡和高性能加筋生态护坡3个阶段,在此基础上对加筋生态护坡使用的不同结构型式和材质的土工合成材料进行了分类总结,针对国内外加筋生态护坡技术的研究现状和主要结论,结合实例分析了加筋生态护坡的工程应用,指出在保护边坡、减少水土流失及改善生态环境方面的作用。最后,展望了未来需要研究的方向。     

Augment low-field intra-operative MRI with preoperative MRI using a hybrid non-rigid registration method

Background

Preoperatively acquired diffusion tensor image (DTI) and blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) have been proved to be effective in providing more anatomical and functional information; however, the brain deformation induced by brain shift and tumor resection severely impairs the correspondence between the image space and the patient space in image-guided neurosurgery.

Method

To address the brain deformation, we developed a hybrid non-rigid registration method to register high-field preoperative MRI with low-field intra-operative MRI in order to recover the deformation induced by brain shift and tumor resection. The registered DTI and BOLD are fused with low-field intra-operative MRI for image-guided neurosurgery.

Results

The proposed hybrid registration method was evaluated by comparing the landmarks predicted by the hybrid registration method with the landmarks identified in the low-field intra-operative MRI for 10 patients. The prediction error of the hybrid method is 1.92 ± 0.54 mm, and the compensation accuracy is 74.3 ± 5.0%. Compared to the landmarks far from the resection region, those near the resection region demonstrated a higher compensation accuracy (P-value = .003) although these landmarks had larger initial displacements.

Conclusions

The proposed hybrid registration method is able to bring preoperatively acquired BOLD and DTI into the operating room and compensate for the deformation to augment low-field intra-operative MRI with rich anatomical and functional information.     

输血后丙型肝炎病毒NS4区抗体的动态变化及其诊断意义

利用重组NS4抗原及合成肽5－11抗原分别检测5例输血后丙型肝炎患者的系列血清136份，并与HCV总抗体及HCVRNA检测结果比较，发现抗NS4抗体的动态变化虽然有两种模式，但在多数情况下为一种模式，即抗体阳转后很少转阴，并且其动态变化基本与总抗体相似。同时发现2例病人抗NS4抗体阳转时间早于总抗体，因此，推测HCV检测试剂中增加NS4抗原可能对提高HCV诊断试剂的灵敏度有一定意义。

生物质与煤共燃研究(Ⅱ)燃烧性质分析

对低温热解生物质和煤共燃的燃烧性质进行了研究。在热解温度300℃，热解时间30min下对三种生物质（锯屑、谷壳和花生壳）的热解产品、长焰煤、无烟煤、热解锯屑和长焰煤混样（1：10）、热解锯屑和无烟煤混样（1：10）七个样品的燃烧热重分析发现：热解生物质的燃烧性能相近，组成结构相似，主要分为挥发分释放燃烧阶段和焦炭燃烧阶段，分别位于30℃－400℃和400℃－500℃之间，其出现分别较煤的温度低；长焰煤与热解锯屑混燃可以有效地降低着火温度，而热解锯屑与无烟煤混燃时，由于燃烧性质差异较大，是分别燃烧，不产生协同效果；热解锯屑与长焰煤、无烟煤共燃能够有效地提高煤的着火性能，在总体燃烧性能上，虽然热解锯屑明显好于长焰煤和无烟煤，但混合后对其改变不大。
