The Potential Application of Starch and Walnut Shells as Biofillers for Natural Rubber (NR) Composites

The goal of this study was application of corn starch and ground walnut shells in various amounts by weight as biofillers of natural rubber (NR) biocomposites. Additionally, ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BmiCl) and (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES) were used to increase the activity of biofillers and to improve the curing characteristics of NR composites. The effect of biofillers used and their modification with aminosilane or ionic liquid on the curing characteristics of NR composites and their functional properties, including crosslink density, mechanical properties in static and dynamic conditions, hardness, thermal stability and resistance to thermo-oxidative aging were investigated. Starch and ground walnut shells were classified as inactive fillers, which can be used alternatively to commercial inactive fillers, e.g., chalk. BmiCl and APTES were successfully used to support the vulcanization and to improve the dispersion of biofillers in NR elastomer matrix. Vulcanizates with starch, especially those containing APTES and BmiCl, exhibited improved tensile properties due to the higher crosslink density and homogenous dispersion of starch, which resulted from BmiCl addition. NR filled with ground walnut shells demonstrated improved resistance to thermo-oxidative aging. It resulted from lignin present in walnut shells, the components of which belong to polyphenols, that have an antioxidant activity.

基于时间约束的优化编码传输算法

考虑到对数据包延迟等服务质量要求比较高的流媒体应用,文章研究了在有记忆接收节点模型也即接收节点可以缓存多个数据包的前提下,数据包有延迟约束的无线网络中基于网络编码的广播调度问题,目标在于最小化超过延迟约束数据包的数目。本文提出一种利用着色图的方法来进行编码调度的算法,可以显著减少超过延迟约束数据包的数目,为以后针对QoS需求的网络编码问题提供了参考。模拟实验表明相比于接收节点丢弃暂时无用数据包的无记忆模型,在有记忆模型下我们的算法可以在很多情况下有效地降低超出延迟约束率,这对时间关键的应用非常重要。

Phase change memory alloys: GST cell array characterization using picosecond ultrasonics

Phase change random access memory alloys (PRAM or PCM) are a class of non-volatile memory that is thought as viable alternatives to flash memory technology or to supplement other memory technologies depending on the end applications and its key performance requirements. Ge₂Sb₂Te₅ alloy (GST) is the most widely used chalcogenide material for PCM application, and has many unique properties, including strong temperature-dependent film properties, low thermal conductivity, and high electrical resistivity. Picosecond ultrasonics was used to make non-contact, non-destructive measurements of GST films on blanket wafers and directly on product wafers. On-product wafer measurements were made on various via array (0.5 μm and 1 μm between cell edges with CD size from 250 to 800 nm). Measurements have shown excellent correlation to cross-section SEM and were consistent with CMP polish times for both blanket and pattern wafer measurement. Excellent repeatability based on extensive measurements demonstrates the capability and reliability of picosecond ultrasonic technology. Picosecond ultrasonic measurements also provide rapid characterization across the whole wafer at production-worthy throughputs.

The following results (in kJ/mol of atoms) are reported: CoCr (−0.3 ± 2.9); CuMn (−3.7 ± 3.2); Cu₃Sn (−10.4 ± 3.1); Fe₂Tb (−5.5 ± 2.4); Fe₂Dy (−1.6 ± 2.9); Fe₁₇Tb₂ (−2.1 ± 3.1); Fe₁₇Dy₂ (−5.3 ± 1.7); FePd₃ (−16.0 ± 2.7); FePt (−23.0 ± 1.9); FePt₃ (−20.7 ± 2.3); NiMn (−24.9 ± 2.6); TiNi (−32.7 ± 1.0); TiPd (−60.3 ± 2.5). The results are compared with some earlier experimental values obtained by calorimetry and by EMF technique. They are also compared with predicted values on the basis of the semi empirical model of Miedema and co-workers and with ab initio calculations when available. We will also assess the available information regarding the structures of these alloys.
