采用固-液相共混法制备了多种BN/Al₂O₃复合粉末,通过冻融法和表面修饰法对BN进行了改性处理,改变表面修饰剂类型和摩尔比得到了前驱体和烧结态BN/Al₂O₃复合粉末,并利用机械混合法制备了聚合物基BN/Al₂O₃复合材料,并测试分析了其导热性能。结果表明,经冻融处理的BN分散性和界面相容性明显优于未经冻融处理的BN。多巴胺对BN的改性效果优于聚乙二醇。采用多巴胺作为表面修饰剂且BN与Al(NO₃)₃的摩尔比为1:1时,能够得到纳米Al₂O₃均匀包覆的微米BN粉末,即BN/Al₂O₃微纳复合粉末,其聚合物基复合材料的导热系数可达0.62 W·m^-1·K^-1,是纯聚合物导热系数的3倍,是采用纯微米BN粉末制备的聚合物基复合材料导热系数的1.5倍。在BN表面附着的Al₂O₃可以形成层状热传导通道,能够有效提高聚合物基BN/Al₂O₃复合材料的热导率。     

粉末冶金靶材多弧离子镀HY3涂层抗氧化性能

目的 研究靶材制备工艺对多弧离子镀(Arc ion plating,AIP)MCrAlY涂层抗氧化性能的影响。方法 采用粉末冶金方法制备NiCrAlYSi(HY3)靶材,然后采用AIP在DZ125合金基体上制备HY3涂层。在1 100 ℃下对粉末冶金靶材制备涂层进行200 h的静态氧化实验,采用SEM、XRD等对靶材和氧化前后的涂层进行微观组织分析,并与传统铸造靶材进行对比。结果 采用粉末冶金方法制备的靶材成分更加均匀,相尺寸约为5 μm,相较于铸造靶材降低了1个数量级。采用粉末冶金靶材制备的涂层(P涂层)元素分布更均匀、β相含量更高。经过1 100 ℃、200 h的高温氧化,P涂层的氧化增量为1.01 mg/cm²,低于铸造靶材制备的涂层(C涂层,1.10 mg/cm²)。在200 h后,P涂层表面的热生长氧化物(TGO)完整,而C涂层表面的TGO出现了剥落现象,P涂层的活性元素均匀分布,促进TGO内生成了少量弥散分布的钉扎氧化物Y2Hf2O7,提高了TGO的抗剥落能力。更高的β相含量促进了氧化初期θ−Al2O3的快速生成,有利于P涂层生成保护性能更好的TGO。结论 粉末冶金靶材成分的均匀性优于传统铸造靶材,采用粉末冶金靶材制备的HY3涂层的抗高温氧化性能优于铸造靶材制备的HY3涂层。

Towards Friction Stir Remanufacturing of High-Strength Aluminum Components

Volumetric defects in high-strength aluminum alloy components were repaired via friction stir remanufacturing (FSR). Various consumable pins made of AA7075-T6 were designed. Top diameters of the consumable pins affected material flow, which ensured that the materials at the repairing interface were forged to metallurgical bonding. Conical angles determined load transfer besides material flow, which affected the fracture of the pins before the dwelling stage. Sound repaired components were achieved when the conical angle of the consumable pin was 1° larger than that of the volumetric defect. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation of the repaired components reached 445.9 MPa and 9.6%, respectively. The design criteria of the consumable pin in the FSR was established, which provided valuable references to repair volumetric defects in high-strength aluminum components.     

Improved Second Generation Iron Pincer Complexes for Effective Ester Hydrogenation

Hydrogenation of esters to alcohols with a well‐defined iron ^iPr2PNP pincer complex has been recently reported by us and other groups. We now introduce a novel and sterically less hindered ^Et2PNP congener that provides superior catalytic activity in the hydrogenation of various carboxylic acid esters and lactones compared to the known complex. Successful hydrogenation proceeds under relatively mild conditions (60 °C) with lower catalyst loadings.

     

Synthesis and properties of a phosphate ester as curing agent in an epoxy resin system

Phosphate ester compounds display good flame retardancy effect in epoxy resin systems. In this paper, several novel phosphate esters, used as curing agents for epoxy resins, were synthesized based on P₂O₅, phosphoric acid, and different types of alcohol. The structures of phosphate esters were characterized by ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance (³¹P NMR). Then, a series of flame retardant epoxy composites were prepared by curing the epoxy resins (E-44) with the phosphate esters. The flame retardancy and thermal degradation behaviors of flame retardant epoxy composites were investigated by cone calorimeter test (CCT) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. The results of CCT indicated that phosphate esters can significantly decrease heat release rate, total heat release (THR), and smoke production rate. The sample cured by butyl phosphate ester from phosphorus pentoxide, phosphoric acid and butanol showed the best flame retardant performance among all samples. The TGA results showed that phosphate esters could enhance char residues of flame retardant epoxy composites when compared with those of a composite using T31 as a curing agent at high temperature. It may be concluded that good flame retardant properties of flame retardant epoxy composites are related to the formation of a protective phosphorus-rich char layer. These phosphate esters have a good future on flame retardant epoxy composites.     

一种新型轮胎硫化机中心机构工作性能的模拟研究

中心机构是轮胎定型硫化机的重要部件,目前现有轮胎定型硫化机的进水口和出水口平行设置在中心机构的底部,当过热水充满整个胶囊后开始在胶囊里进行循环时,位于中心机构底部位置的过热水不能充分地与顶端的液体进行热量置换就流出胶囊,造成轮胎胎侧上下两端温差较大,整个胶囊内的热交换效率低下,轮胎硫化不均匀。因此,本文提出一种新型轮盼定型硫化机中心机构,并且详细阐述其作用机理,利用FLUENT模拟软件与现有的轮胎定型硫化机中心机构的工作性能进行比较,以更好地说明其能够明显改善轮胎的硫化效果。     

Protective Effect of Resveratrol against IL-1β-Induced Inflammatory Response on Human Osteoarthritic Chondrocytes Partly via the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB Signaling Pathway: An “in Vitro Study”

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic compound that prevents inflammation in chondrocytes and animal models of osteoarthritis (OA) via yet to be defined mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the protective effect of resveratrol on IL-1β-induced human articular chondrocytes was associated with the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway by incubating human articular chondrocytes (harvested from osteoarthritis patients) with IL-1β before treatment with resveratrol. Cell viability was evaluated using the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay and TNFα levels in culture supernatants were measured by ELISA(Enzymelinked immunosorbent assay). The levels of TLR4 and its downstream signaling targets (MyD88 and TRAF6) and IL-1β were assessed by measuring the levels of mRNA and protein expression by real-time RT-PCR and western blot analysis, respectively, in addition to assessing NF-κB activation. In addition, TLR4 siRNA was used to block TLR4 expression in chondrocytes further demonstrating that resveratrol prevented IL-1β-mediated inflammation by TLR4 inhibition. We found that resveratrol prevented IL-1β-induced reduction in cell viability. Stimulation of chondrocytes with IL-1β caused a significant up-regulation of TLR4 and its downstream targets MyD88 and TRAF6 resulting in NF-κB activation associated with the synthesis of IL-1β and TNFα. These IL-1β-induced inflammatory responses were all effectively reversed by resveratrol. Furthermore, activation of NF-κB in chondrocytes treated with TLR4 siRNA was significantly attenuated, but not abolished, and exposure to resveratrol further reduced NF-κB translocation. These data suggested that resveratrol prevented IL-1β-induced inflammation in human articular chondrocytes at least in part by inhibiting the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway suggesting that resveratrol has the potential to be used as a nutritional supplement to counteract OA symptoms.

CdS quantum dot-sensitized solar cells based on nano-branched TiO2 arrays

Nano-branched rutile TiO₂ nanorod arrays were grown on F:SnO₂ conductive glass (FTO) by a facile, two-step wet chemical synthesis process at low temperature. The length of the nanobranches was tailored by controlling the growth time, after which CdS quantum dots were deposited on the nano-branched TiO₂ arrays using the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method to make a photoanode for quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs). The photovoltaic properties of the CdS-sensitized nano-branched TiO₂ solar cells were studied systematically. A short-circuit current intensity of approximately 7 mA/cm² and a light-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 0.95% were recorded for cells based on optimized nano-branched TiO₂ arrays, indicating an increase of 138% compared to those based on unbranched TiO₂ nanorod arrays. The improved performance is attributed to a markedly enlarged surface area provided by the nanobranches and better electron conductivity in the one-dimensional, well-aligned TiO₂ nanorod trunks.
