Highly efficient two-stage ring-opening of epichlorohydrin with carboxylic acid in a microreaction system

Ring-opening of epoxides with carboxylic acids has been widely used to prepare many high value intermediates in the polymer and pharmaceutical industries. Most of conventional processes proceeded in batch stirred reactors. As such they always suffer from low productivity and selectivity. Here we developed an advanced technology to perform the ring-opening reaction of epichlorohydrin with neodecanoic acid (NDA) for continuous production of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl neodecanoate in a more efficient and safer way. A microreaction system where a microreactor connected to a stirred reactor was established. When the conversion of NDA rapidly reaching around 90% in a microreactor at 110°C, the reaction solution was transferred to a stirred reactor at 90°C. This two-stage operating mode can reduce the reaction time and improve the selectivity through free switching of temperature in the consecutive two reactors, thus substantially reducing the consumption of energy and materials.

Ultra-Robust Flexible Electronics by Laser-Driven Polymer-Nanomaterials Integration

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most widely used polymer in the world. For the first time, the laser-driven integration of aluminum nanoparticles (Al NPs) into PET to realize a laser-induced graphene/Al NPs/polymer composite, which demonstrates excellent toughness and high electrical conductivity with the formation of aluminum carbide into the polymer is shown. The conductive structures show an impressive mechanical resistance against >10000 bending cycles, projectile impact, hammering, abrasion, and structural and chemical stability when in contact with different solvents (ethanol, water, and aqueous electrolytes). Devices including thermal heaters, carbon electrodes for energy storage, electrochemical and bending sensors show this technology's practical application for ultra-robust polymer electronics. This laser-based technology can be extended to integrating other nanomaterials and create hybrid graphene-based structures with excellent properties in a wide range of flexible electronics’ applications.     

Scalable Yielding of Highly Stable Polyelectrolyte-Coated Copper Sulfide Nanoparticles by Flash Nanoprecipitation for Photothermal-Chemotherapeutics

Photothermal-chemotherapeutic nanoparticles (NPs) are attracting increasing attention and becoming more widely used for cancer therapy in the clinic due to their noninvasiveness, notable tissue penetration abilities, and low systemic adverse effects. However, functional ligands are conventionally modified onto photothermal NPs to well stabilize the inorganic particles suffering from complex chemical modifications, low productivity, and batch-to-batch inconsistencies, and thus significantly restricting their clinical applications. Herein, flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) is taken advantage of to afford rapid and uniform mixing for generating local supersaturated CuS clusters for small and highly stable CuS NPs effectively stabilized by polyacrylic acid through a continuous strategy. It greatly reduces the complexity for CuS NPs synthesis and functionalization in a facile intensified mixing process. These as-synthesized particles are high-drug loading, scalable, and most importantly, it is easy to control their sizes and charges through external conditions. Toxicity and tumor inhibition experiments confirm the high cell toxicity and good suppression of tumor growth under near-infrared irradiation indicating a promising prospect of FNP in the large-scale and continuous yielding of highly stable and high-performing photothermal-chemotherapeutic NPs for cancer therapy.     

Chromaticity-tunable remote LuYAG: Ce phosphor-in-glass film on regular textured glass substrate for white light emitting diodes

All inorganic remote phosphor-in-glass film exhibits excellent properties in high power white light-emitting-diodes (WLEDs) thanks to their easy fabrication and thermal stability. Herein, fabrication of (Lu, Y)₃Al₅O₁₂: Ce³⁺ (LuYAG: Ce)phosphors embedded in borosilicate glass film by the conventional solid state reaction and spin coating technology has been reported. The introduction of Y³⁺ ions reduces the difference of relative growth rate along some directions in growth of LuYAG microparticles, yielding a finer grain with smooth edges. By adjusting the molar concentration of Y³⁺ ions in LuAG phosphor, a series of tunable broadband emission from green to yellow region is observed and maintains excellent thermal stability. Meanwhile, the decay curves of samples with different Y³⁺ are almost same. SEM images show that phosphor particles are homogenously distributed within the glass matrix and keep their original morphology, suggesting the phosphor-in-glass films were synthesized as expected. Finally, a simple WLEDs based on the films was constructed using the commercial blue chip. The correlated color temperature ranging from 4853K to 4627K and high color rendering index from 81.4–79.7 were obtained. Upon the different driving current, the chromaticity coordinates of as-fabricated film exhibit good light color stability. These results bring an inspiring insight to tune the luminescent performance for remote WLEDs.     

基于CQT和梅尔频谱的带有人声的音乐风格转换方法

近年来,生成对抗网络在图像风格迁移领域中表现优秀,然而其在音乐领域表现一般.现有的音乐风格迁移对带有人声的音乐的风格迁移效果不佳.为了解决这些问题,首先提取音乐的CQT特征和梅尔频谱特征,然后采用CycleGAN对CQT特征和梅尔频谱的联合特征做风格迁移,再通过WaveNet声码器来对迁移后的谱图进行解码,最终实现了带有人声的音乐的风格迁移.在公开数据集FMA上对所提模型进行评估,符合要求的音乐的平均风格迁移率达到了94.07％.与其他算法相比,该方法所产生的音乐的风格迁移率和音频质量都优于其他算法.
