Symmetry-induced modal characteristics in uniform waveguides or resonators with ferrite rods

A technique of symmetry analysis for modal characteristics in uniform waveguides or resonators with ferrite rods is presented here. Symmetry analysis can provide basic information concerning modal characteristics. After summarizing the basic principles of symmetry analysis, some points concerning symmetry operations are discussed. Then the process of symmetry analysis is applied to structures, i.e. uniform wave guides withC _n symmetry or symmetry and resonators withD _nh symmetry in which exist longitudinally magnetized ferrite rods. Finally, results of the symmetry analysis are given in four tables.     

Design,Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel 6H-Benzo[c]chromen-6-one Derivatives as Potential Phosphodiesterase II Inhibitors

Urolithins (hydroxylated 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-ones) are the main bioavailable metabolites of ellagic acid (EA), which was shown to be a cognitive enhancer in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. As part of this research, a series of alkoxylated 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. Furthermore, their biological activities were evaluated as potential PDE2 inhibitors, and the alkoxylated 6H-benzo[c]chromen-6-one derivative 1f was found to have the optimal inhibitory potential (IC₅₀: 3.67 ± 0.47 μM). It also exhibited comparable activity in comparison to that of BAY 60-7550 in vitro cell level studies.     

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.     

La3+ 掺杂对 CeO2 红外发射性能的影响研究

随着飞行器飞行速度和发动机燃烧室温度的提高, 金属类隐身涂层材料已无法满足环境使用要求。 CeO2 具有较高熔点、 抗氧化、 较低红外发射率等特点, 被认为是红外隐身应用的候选材料, 但其发射率仍无法满足 高温红外隐身需求。 本文通过固相反应法对 CeO2 进行 La3+ 掺杂改性, 研究掺杂量对 CeO2 粉体红外发射性能的 影响规律。 结果表明, 随着掺杂量从 10 mol% 增加到 30 mol%, 粉体在 3~6 μm 波段的发射率不断降低, 其中 Ce0.7La0.3O2 的红外发射率仅为 0.1。     

Effects of Austempering after Hot Deformation on the Mechanical Properties of Hot Rolled Si-Mn TRIP Steel Sheets

Excellent mechanical properties are obtained by austempering after hot deformation without subsequent heat treatment in the present Si-Mn TRIP steel sheets. Isothermal holding time after finishing rolling has affected the mechanical properties of this steel. The results show that the sample exhibits a good combination of ultimate tensile strength and total elongation when it is held at the bainite transformation temperature after hot deformation. The stability of retained austenite increases with an increase of isothermal holding time, and a further increase in the holding duration results in a decrease of it. The tensile strength, total elongation and strength ductility reach the maximum values (774MPa, 33% and 25542MPa% respectively) for this sort of hot rolled Si-Mn TRIP steel using the optimal technology.     

等离子喷涂纳米Al2O3-13%TiO2涂层组织与性能

采用大气等离子喷涂方法制备了纳米结构Al2O3-13%TiO2(质量分数,下同)涂层,进行了SRV滑动磨损试验,通过扫描电镜对涂层的断口显微组织及磨损表面形貌进行了观察,并测定了涂层的显微硬度.结果表明,该纳米涂层具有独特的显微组织结构特征,层片间具有冶金结合特征的界面较多,界面结合得到明显改善,其显微硬度明显高于微米涂层,具有优良的耐磨性能,其磨损面积仅为常规微米涂层的1/5,界面结合改善是耐磨性提高的主要原因.     

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.

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
