燃料电池用QCS键和层析硅胶膜的制备及其性能表征

以季铵化壳聚糖(QCS)和层析硅胶为原料,制备了不同硅胶含量的多孔膜。用傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)和扫描电镜(SEM)对多孔膜的结构和形貌进行表征。同时,考察了层析硅胶的用量对多孔膜的含水率(WU)、溶胀度(SR)、机械性能和电导率的影响。结果表明,随着层析硅胶含量的增加,多孔膜的含水率、溶胀度和电导率均升高,但机械性能下降。当层析硅胶的用量为40%时,多孔膜的含水率高达816%,但是膜的溶胀度仅为189%,拉伸强度为5.6MPa,断裂伸长率为4.2%;在测试温度为70℃时,不同层析硅胶含量多孔膜的电导率数值分布在2.4~3.9×10~(-2)S/cm的范围内,且随硅胶含量的增加而增加。     

关于CJJ/T135-2009标准中胶凝材料用量确定方法的对比讨论

文章讨论了《透水水泥混凝土路面技术规程》(CJJ/T135-2009)标准中配合比设计部分关于胶凝材料用量确定方法与其他两种胶凝材料用量确定方法的准确性、便捷性、应变性和可操作性.通过对实验结果的分析发现,CJJ/T135-2009中的胶凝材料用量确定方法误将水胶比理解成每立方米混凝土用水量与所有胶凝材料用量的体积之比,从而导致计算结果偏差.而采用实际测定浆体密度再确定胶凝材料用量的方法更符合工程应用的实际情况,且可操作性更强.     

水分对分子筛结构及吸附性能的影响

分子筛是变压吸附制氧过程中最重要的组分,使用中该组分常出现吸水失效问题,极大地影响了氧产量及浓度.针对此问题,本文以HD-1型和PU-8型分子筛为原料,通过在不同温度(100、200、300、400℃)下活化得到不同含水量的分子筛,并通过对不同材料的结构形貌、热性能及吸附性能的表征分析了水分对分子筛结构及吸附性能的影响.研究结果表明:水分不会破坏分子筛的骨架结构,但会增大晶胞参数,并导致HD-1型分子筛中阳离子迁移;分子筛中的物理吸附水和化学结晶水会影响其吸附性能,其中物理吸附水的影响最大;活化有效提高了分子筛的吸附性能,且温度越高,含水量越少,吸附性能越好;在150~180℃下活化,将物理吸附水脱附后,分子筛的吸附能力可恢复70%,可在此温度下进行吸附器内低温活化;在400℃下活化,脱除化学结晶水,分子筛吸附性能可100%恢复,400℃为两种分子筛的最佳活化温度.     

Additive Manufacturing of Titanium Alloys by Electron Beam Melting: A Review

Electron beam melting (EBM), as one of metal additive manufacturing technologies, is considered to be an innovative industrial production technology. Based on the layer‐wise manufacturing technique, as‐produced parts can be fabricated on a powder bed using the 3D computational design method. Because the melting process takes place in a vacuum environment, EBM technology can produce parts with higher densities compared to selective laser melting (SLM), particularly when titanium alloy is used. The ability to produce higher quality parts using EBM technology is making EBM more competitive. After briefly introducing the EBM process and the processing factors involved, this paper reviews recent progress in the processing, microstructure, and properties of titanium alloys and their composites manufactured by EBM. The paper describes significant positive progress in EBM of all types of titanium in terms of solid bulk and porous structures including Ti–6Al–4V and Ti–24Nb–4Zr–8Sn, with a focus on manufacturing using EBM and the resultant unique microstructure and service properties (mechanical properties, fatigue behaviors, and corrosion resistance properties) of EBM‐produced titanium alloys.

     

Nanoporous Superalloy Membranes: A Review

The ability to produce metallic membrane materials with porosity on the nanoscale from Ni‐based superalloys, hitherto used exclusively for high temperature applications, has been discovered 15 years ago. The basic principle is to first convert the initial γ/γ′ microstructure, containing isolated γ′‐precipitates, into a bi‐continuous network where both phases are in themselves continuous and interpenetrate each other. Then, one of the two phases is selectively removed, so that a rigid structure consisting of the remaining phase with pores on the location of the removed phase results. This article reviews the progress made so far. In that time period, a number of ways to fabricate these unique materials have emerged, utilizing 1) single crystals and polycrystals as precursor materials as well as 2) coarsening of coherent and incoherent γ′‐precipitates to realize bi‐continuity of the microstructure. Consequently, a family of superalloy membranes has emerged with specific microstructures, properties, advantages, and limitations. It is the intention of this article to give an overview on these various manufacturing routes, as well as on resulting microstructures and properties. Finally, possible fields of applications are outlined. It is demonstrated that the particular manufacturing process from a solid to the porous material leads to certain advantages, such as the ability to structure the material in porous and solid areas as required by the application.

     

High Efficiency Poly(acrylonitrile) Electrospun Nanofiber Membranes for Airborne Nanomaterials Filtration

The potential of poly(acrylonitrile) electrospun membranes with tuneable pore size and fiber distributions were investigated for airborne fine‐particle filtration for the first time. The impact of solution concentration on final membrane properties are evaluated for the purpose of designing separation materials with higher separation efficiency. The properties of fibers and membranes are investigated systematically: the average pore distribution, as characterized by capillary flow porometry, and thermo‐mechanical properties of the mats are found to be dependent on fiber diameter and on specific electrospinning conditions. Filtration efficiency and pressure drop are calculated from measurement of penetration through the membranes using potassium chloride (KCl) aerosol particles ranging from 300 nm to 12 μm diameter. The PAN membranes exhibited separation efficiencies in the range of 73.8–99.78% and a typical quality factor 0.0224 (1 Pa^?1) for 12 wt% PAN with nanofibers having a diameter of 858 nm. Concerning air flow rate, the quality factor and filtration efficiency of the electrospun membranes at higher face velocity are much more stable than for commercial membranes. The results suggest that the structure of electrospun membranes is the best for air filtration in terms of filtration stability at high air flow rate.

     

Engineered Multifunctional Albumin‐Decorated Porous Silicon Nanoparticles for FcRn Translocation of Insulin

The last decade has seen remarkable advances in the development of drug delivery systems as alternative to parenteral injection‐based delivery of insulin. Neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn)‐mediated transcytosis has been recently proposed as a strategy to increase the transport of drugs across the intestinal epithelium. FcRn‐targeted nanoparticles (NPs) could hijack the FcRn transcytotic pathway and cross the epithelial cell layer. In this study, a novel nanoparticulate system for insulin delivery based on porous silicon NPs is proposed. After surface conjugation with albumin and loading with insulin, the NPs are encapsulated into a pH‐responsive polymeric particle by nanoprecipitation. The developed NP formulation shows controlled size and homogeneous size distribution. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show successful encapsulation of the NPs into pH‐sensitive polymeric particles. No insulin release is detected at acidic conditions, but a controlled release profile is observed at intestinal pH. Toxicity studies show high compatibility of the NPs with intestinal cells. In vitro insulin permeation across the intestinal epithelium shows approximately fivefold increase when insulin is loaded into FcRn‐targeted NPs. Overall, these FcRn‐targeted NPs offer a toolbox in the development of targeted therapies for oral delivery of insulin.     

Green Synthesis of Hierarchically Porous Carbon Nanotubes as Advanced Materials for High‐Efficient Energy Storage

Hierarchically porous carbon nanomaterials with well‐defined architecture can afford a promising platform for effectively addressing energy and environmental concerns. Herein, a totally green and straightforward synthesis strategy for the fabrication of hierarchically porous carbon nanotubes (HPCNTs) by a simple carbonization treatment without any assistance of soft/hard templates and activation procedures is demonstrated. A high specific surface area of 1419 m² g^?1 and hierarchical micro‐/meso‐/macroporosity can be achieved for the HPCNTs. The unique porous architecture enables the HPCNTs serving as excellent electrode/host materials for high‐performance supercapacitors and Li–sulfur batteries. The design strategy may pave a new avenue for the rational synthesis of hierarchically porous carbon nanostructures for high‐efficient energy storage applications.
