Preparation of composite particles made from solid powders and wasted plastics by semichemical recycle method

Composite particles composed of solid powders and polymer were prepared by semichemical recycle of wasted plastics. Waste expanded polystyrene was used as raw materials of polymer matrix of composite particles. Both magnetite and silicon carbide powders were used as solid powders to give thermal and electric conductivity and magnetization, respectively. In the experiment, the oil‐phase dissolving expanded polystyrene was dispersed in fine droplets into the continuous water phase. Two kinds of powders were added at the same time or separately in the O/W dispersion. Composite particles were found to have the structure that polymer particle was covered with two kinds of solid powders. The mean diameter of composite particles and the content of each solid powder were strongly affected by the addition time when silicon carbide powder was added into the dispersion. Furthermore, it was found that the gradient adhesion layer due to two solid powders was able to be formed on the surface of polymer particle. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Silver catalysts supported over activated carbons for the selective oxidation of CO in excess hydrogen: effects of different treatments on the supports

Commercial activated carbon (AC) was used as a support either in its original form or after various modifications, giving diverse textural and surface chemical characteristics. The changes of these properties were monitored by N₂ adsorption–desorption isotherms, temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Ag catalysts were prepared over the AC supports by a conventional wet impregnation method. The catalytic performances of supported Ag/AC catalysts in the selective oxidation of CO in excess H₂ were tested. The results indicate the textural and surface chemical characteristics are responsible for the different catalytic performances.     

Preparation of micron‐size monodispersed PS/P(St/MAA) microspheres by seeded dispersion polymerization

Uniform polystyrene (PSt) particles with the size of 1.9 μm were first prepared via dispersion polymerization, and then used as the seeds in a second‐stage dispersion copolymerization of styrene (St) and methacrylic acid (MAA) to produce carboxyl‐carrying microspheres. The PSt seed particles were swollen by monomer mixture of St and MAA, including an oil‐soluble initiator 2,2′‐azobisiso‐butyronitrile (AIBN), before polymerization. Finally, uniform PS/P(St/MAA) (polydispersity index, PDI = 1.02) microspheres with the size of 2.2 μm were obtained. The average particle size and size distribution of the final microspheres were investigated. MAA contents between 54 and 97 mg/g were detected from the PS/P(St/MAA) particles produced under different conditions. Dispersion medium has great influence on the kinetics of polymerization, due to its effect on the partitioning of monomers, solvents, and initiator in the particle phase, probably as well as on the conformation of the dispersion agent on the surface of the particles. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Delay‐dependent stability of nonlinear hybrid neutral stochastic differential equations with multiple delays

In this article, we study the delay‐dependent stability of a class of hybrid neutral stochastic differential equations (NSDEs) with multiple delays which is highly nonlinear. Some novel stability criteria are investigated according to Lyapunov functions and generalized Itô's formula. In particular, we generalize and improve the results in Shen et al, Systems & Control Letters (2018) from a single delay to multiple delays.

针对脑功能网络的构建受到特定大脑图谱对兴趣点描述准确度及覆盖度的限制,提出了基于认知任务信息和神经影像数据的脑功能网络构建方法。首先计算fMRI体素对于认知任务的敏感度,然后在此基础上选取兼顾分布均衡和去中心化的大脑兴趣点,从而构建任务驱动的脑功能网络。实验通过在人脸情绪识别认知任务相关的梭状回构造任务驱动的脑功能网络,其度中心性、聚类系数、全局效率、局部效率这四个复杂网络指标均优于典型大脑图谱梭状回中兴趣点构成的网络。结果表明,计算得到的大脑兴趣点具有更强的整合性,更适合用于表征特定认知任务下的脑功能网络。     

Broadband terahertz spectroscopy of amino acids

Broadband spectra of 20 L-amino acids were obtained at room temperature by terahertz time-domain and infrared spectroscopy. The intensity of terahertz absorption peaks varied with the concentrations of amino acids, and the optimum proportion for each amino acid was obtained. An absorption spectral database of 20 L-amino acids was established from 0 to 6 THz. The associations between terahertz absorption peaks and molecular structures of amino acids were analyzed. The terahertz spectra for L-alanine were compared with the calculated results based on density functional theory using two basis sets that were reliably consistent.     

拉压变形对B(N)掺杂碳纳米管Al吸附性能的影响

为了研究(5,5)碳纳米管的B(N)环状掺杂效应,以及拉压变形对B(N)环状掺杂碳纳米管Al吸附性能的影响,采用基于密度泛函理论的平面波赝势和广义梯度近似方法,对B(N)环状掺杂碳纳米管Al吸附模型进行了几何优化,计算了B(N)环状掺杂碳纳米管的形成能,并确定了Al原子的最稳定吸附位置.结果表明,B(N)环状掺杂(5,5)碳纳米管的结构较为稳定.B(N)环状掺杂可以增加碳纳米管与Al之间的吸附能;一定范围内的拉伸和压缩变形则会降低碳纳米管与Al之间的大部分吸附能.
