Synthesis of superabsorbent resin by ultraviolet photopolymerization

Synthesis of superabsorbent resin (SAR) was achieved by a new method, that of direct UV photopolymerization, and in particular the synthesis of a SAR of acrylic acid–potassium acrylate copolymer by UV photopolymerization was investigated. Influences of ratio (mol) of acrylate monomer to acrylic acid monomer, photoinitiators, crosslinking agents, and exposure time of UV light on the water‐absorbent properties were investigated. The results showed that the water absorbency (Q) of SAR based on Irgacure 1700 or Irgacure 1800 was 545–530 mL/g, but under the same conditions Q was 450 mL/g for the SAR based on Irgacure 651. N,N′‐Methylene bisacrylamide, hydroethyl acrylate, and glycerol were used as crosslinking agents, of which N,N′‐methylene bisacrylamide was the most effective. It crosslinked the molecular chains through attending the copolymerization with acrylic acid (AA) and potassium acrylate. When the exposure time was 5 min, the value of Q was 1368 mL/g (the content of N,N′‐methylene bisacrylamide was 100 ppm). © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 92: 1618–1624, 2004

Structure and properties of collagen‐konjac glucomannan‐sodium alginate blend films

A new kind of blend film was made by mixing the solutions of collagen, konjac glucommnnan (KGM), and sodium alginate. The structure of the blend film was characterized by FTIR, XRD, atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and SEM, respectively. The effects of weight ratio between the polymers on light transmittance, tensile strength, elongation at break, water permeability, and water absorption of the film were studied. The results showed that there were strong interactions and good compatibility between collagen, KGM, and sodium alginate in the film. The film possesses good mechanical properties. Therefore, it can be applied in biomedicine as a new type of biomaterial. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007     

Evaluation of PLGA/chitosan/HA conduits for nerve tissue reconstruction

A micro-envioment for nerve cells and tissue growth were designed and constructed via surface modification of poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) with chitosan and hydroxyapatite(HA). The poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide)/chitosan/hydroxyapatite (PLGA/chitosan/HA) conduits were manufactured by a combined solvent casting and particulate leaching technique. The conduits were highly porous with an interconnected pore structure and 76.5% porosity. Micropores with 50–100 micrometer diameter were formed in the conduits. In vivo application of PLGA/chitosan/HA conduits for reconstruction of 10 mm sciatic nerve defect was assessed by the walking track analysis, the quantifying of the wet weight of tibialis anterior muscle and the histological assessment. The conduits in host rats in vivo can not only be an effective in promoting regenerating of nerves but can also lead to favorable nerve functional recovery.

退火温度对铜纳米颗粒复合材料的三阶非线性光学性质的影响

采用离子注入法制备铜纳米颗粒复合材料,在波长为790 nm的入射激光作用下,运用Z-扫描技术测量了铜纳米颗粒复合材料的非线性光学折射率和非线性光学吸收系数,分析了退火温度对铜纳米颗粒复合材料光学性质的影响。结果表明,随着退火温度的升高,铜纳米颗粒复合材料的颗粒尺寸明显增大,且光学非线性折射率上升。通过改变非晶二氧化硅中铜纳米颗粒复合材料的形状,得到不同的三阶非线性光学系数的特定值。     

PEGDA/NIPAM共聚物水凝胶的溶胀性能及体积相变研究

以IRGACURE2959为光引发剂,聚乙二醇双丙烯酸酯(PEGAD)和N-异丙基丙烯酰胺(NIPAM)为单体,通过紫外光引发光聚合合成了PEGDA/NIPAM共聚物水凝胶.研究了不同单体质量比凝胶材料在不同温度和pH值下的溶胀性能,测试凝胶在不同温度水中的体积相变.研究结果表明,水凝胶的平衡溶胀率随着NIPAM质量浓度增大而增大,随着环境温度的升高而减小,随着环境pH的增大而增大;NIPAM引入后,随着温度升高达到凝胶低临界溶解温度(LCST)时,凝胶平衡溶胀率及溶胀比减小明显加快,发生体积相变;随着NIPAM质量浓度的增大,凝胶溶胀饱和率减小,凝胶具备良好的延缓溶胀性能.     

改进复杂网络模型的形状特征提取

目的 传统的基于欧氏距离的复杂网络表示方法容易受形状的非刚性变形影响。鉴于此,提出一种基于复杂网络模型与相对一致性距离相结合的形状特征提取方法。方法 首先,提取形状的边界轮廓点作为网络的节点,利用节点间的相对一致性距离作为边的权值构建初始的复杂网络模型;然后,利用阈值演化方法对初始网络模型进行动态演化,得到一系列子网络;最后,提取不同演化阶段下子网络的拓扑特征,实现对形状特征的提取。结果 分类和检索实验结果表明,相比于传统的复杂网络描述方法,本文方法对形状图像具有更强的描述和识别能力。结论 相比于传统的距离度量,相对一致性距离对形状的非刚性变形具有更强的稳定性。

Growth and characterization of indium doped zinc oxide films sputtered from powder targets

Indium doped Zn O films were grown on quartz glass substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering from powder targets. Indium content in the targets varied from 1at% to 9at%. In doping on the structure, optical and electrical properties of Zn O thin films were studied. X-ray diffraction shows that all the films are hexagonal wurtzite with c-axis perpendicular to the substrates. There is a positive strain in the films and it increases with indium content. All the films show a high transmittance of 86% in the visible light region. Undoped Zn O thin film exhibits a high transmittance in the near infrared region. The transmittance of indium doped Zn O thin films decreases sharply in the near infrared region, and a cut-off wavelength can be found. The lowest resistivity of 4.3×10~(-4) Ω·cm and the highest carrier concentration of 1.86×10~(21) cm~(-3) can be obtained from Zn O thin films with an indium content of 5at% in the target.
