The development of a conductive carbon nanotube (CNT) network in CNT/polypropylene composite films during biaxial stretching

Two developing stages of conducting network in carbon nanotube (CNT)/polypropylene composite films were found during simultaneous biaxial (SIB) stretching and sequential biaxial (SEB) stretching. The electrical resistivity was first increased up to 10¹¹ Ω cm with the extension of the films, regardless of the stretching modes. Once further stretched to 3.5 × 3.5, the SIB- and SEB-stretched films showed reduction of their resistivity of six and eight orders of magnitude, respectively. Microscopic observations revealed that specimens stretching in SEB mode promoted the elongation of CNTs and their clusters, which was apparently more effective for reconnecting adjacent particles and fabricating a new conducting network.     

基于时间戳的FTL实现的连续数据恢复方法

基于FLASH的存储系统复写旧数据时需要通过地址映射层(flash translation layer,FTL)分配新的写入地址,因此旧的数据在一段时间内仍存在于系统中,在这样的系统上实现连续数据保护(continuous data protection,CDP),只需找到旧的映射信息,不需额外保存数据的更新信息。利用FLASH的带外区(out of band,OOB)记录时间戳,在FTL的映射项中增加时间戳信息,在不跟踪映射表每次更新的情况下,达到数据快速恢复的目的。该方法降低了对存储系统性能的影响,实现了快速的数据恢复响应。

Effect of inhomogeneous broadening on threshold current of GaN-based green laser diodes

The inhomogeneous broadening parameter and the internal loss of green LDs are determined by experiments and theoretical fitting. It is found that the inhomogeneous broadening plays an important role on the threshold current density of green LDs. The green LD with large inhomogeneous broadening even cannot lase. Therefore, reducing inhomogeneous broadening is a key issue to improve the performance of green LDs.

Crossing the blood–brain barrier with graphene nanostructures

Therapeutic approaches for the delivery of drugs to the central nervous system are hampered by the presence of the blood–brain barrier (BBB); overcoming this barrier is the clinical goal for the treatment of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. The BBB is a cellular barrier of a highly impermeable nature that is predominantly formed by a tightly bound continuous layer of endothelial cells; it acts as a gatekeeper to restrict the free diffusion of bloodborne pathogens into the central nervous system. Targeted drug delivery systems have been explored over the past decade for crossing the BBB. Very recently, graphene nanostructures have shown great potential for crossing the BBB due to their exceptional features such as high electron mobility, ease of synthesis and functionalization, as well as control over size, shape, and the drug release profile. Graphene is evolving as a system not only to detect diseased lesions but also, in parallel, to treat neurological disorders while demonstrating minimal side effects. Given the rapid developments of innovative graphene-based delivery platforms, the present review sheds light on the status and prospects of graphene for crossing the BBB by improving, preserving, or rescuing brain energetics, with a specific focus on how graphene alters neuronal cell function.     

多彩氧化钨薄膜的红外电致变色性能研究

电致变色材料能够在可见-红外宽频谱范围内对吸收率、透过率、反射率和发射率进行动态调节,是人工调制材料光谱特征的有效手段。在实际应用场合,对于色彩(可见光)与热辐射(红外线)可控调节的需求往往并存,利用单一电致变色器件实现可见、红外双波段的光学调制性能具有重要意义。现阶段对于电致变色材料的设计主要集中于可见光谱的调节能力及颜色转变,忽略了对材料红外光谱的探究。本研究选取具有法布里–铂罗(F-P)空腔结构的多彩氧化钨薄膜进行可见–红外宽频谱电致变色探究,具有F-P空腔结构的氧化钨薄膜材料在可见光区呈现多样化、明亮的颜色,再对多彩薄膜进行图案化设计,即可得到具有各种图案的多彩薄膜,并且在外加偏压的作用下可以实现多样化的颜色转变。同时,多彩氧化钨薄膜的红外反射率也可获得明显的可控调制效果,在中波段(Medium Wave, MW)3.5μm左右处不同颜色薄膜均可获得高于25.00%的红外调制率。本研究表明,多彩氧化钨薄膜可以实现可见–红外宽频谱的分立、可控调节,在智能窗、热管理、辐射制冷等应用领域有巨大潜力,可达到光、热性能协同调制的效果。
