A New Method for Accurately Measuring Temperature Dependence of Refractive Index

A new high-accuracy method for measuring temperature dependence of refractive index is proposed and applied to some polymer waveguides. The method uses 3 m-lines from a grating coupler on the waveguide surface, and has an accuracy of better than 1 × 10^–5 (1/°C). The grating period dependent on the temperature does not affect the accuracy. The measurement thermo-optic (TO) coefficients of polycarbonate (PC) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) are strongly dependent on the waveguide structure in contrast with the previously reported value. It is found that the TM-mode refractive index of UV-curing polymer (J-91) increases with the increase in temperature, contrary to common expectations for polymers. A highly efficient TO switch is expected using the J-91 polymer waveguide.

Measurement of the Density of Polymeric Nanoparticulate Drug Carriers by Isopycnic Centrifugation

The development of polymer nanoparticles as drug carriers requires numerous steps including several in vitro evaluations in cell cultures and biocompatibility. To perform these experiments, it is crucial to express the particle concentration as the number of particles per volume unit or as the particle surface area. Calculation of these suspension characteristics can be perfomed knowing the size and the density of the nanoparticles as well as the polymer concentration. While particle size and polymer concentration are parameters being determined routinely, this study proposes to measure the density of the nanoparticle drug carriers by isopycnic centrifugation using linear sucrose gradients. The method was found to be very reproducible and it presents the advantage of being applied on a small sample of nanoparticles.

Electron density measurement of laser-induced epoxy fiber reinforced polymer plasma北大核心CSCD

Interferograms of laser-induced epoxy fiber reinforced polymer plasmas are obtained through aMach-Zehnder interferometry system. An improved digital double-exposure Fourier method is applied to extractinitial wrapped phases from interferograms, and then an improved phase unwrapping algorithm based on a maskand a branch-cut method is proposed to solve the problem of phase unwrapping. After the inverse Abel transfor-mation of the unwrapped phase, spatial distributions of the electron density of laser-induced epoxy fiber rein-forced polymer plasma at various delays are acquired. Results show that the measured electron density of theplasma is mainly distributed on the order of 10^18 cm^3. The experiment also indicates that the total amount oflaser plasma electrons changes slightly within the recorded time and the change of the electron density is approx-imately inversely proportional to the change of the plasma volume.     

Determining the mobility of ions by transient current measurements at high voltages

We present polarization and transient current experiments that allow an independent determination of the charge carrier density and the mobility of ions in polymer electrolytes at low charge carrier density. The method relies on a complete depletion of ions in the bulk electrolyte achieved by applying high voltages. Based on a qualitative model for the charge dynamics in this nonlinear regime, the method is exemplarily applied to a system of polymethylmethacrylate doped with small amounts of a lithium salt. The independently obtained values for the ionic mobility, the charge carrier density, and the conductivity are consistent for all salt concentrations studied. Criteria for the applicability of the method are discussed.     

Local distribution of high-conductivity regions in polyamide thin films

Conducting points with ohmic conduction are observed in polyamide thin films by the atomic force microscopy method.

Refractive index dispersion measurement on nonlinear optical polymer using V-prism refractometer

By using V-prism refractometer, the refractive indices of a polyetherketone (PEK-c) guest–host polymer system were measured with the polymer in solutions. The Lorenz–Lorentz local field formalism was used in the calculation of the refractive indices of the polymers from the measured indices of the polymer solutions and the pure solvent by using V-prism refractometer. The refractive index dispersions of the polymers were obtained by fitting the measured indices of the polymers to Sellmeyer equation. The method allows for an accuracy in index of 0.7% in the determination of the polymer indices. In addition, a large difference between the indices of the polymer and the solvent, and a higher polymer volume fraction in the measured polymer solution are favorable for a high accuracy.     

Simulation of the 3D viscoelastic free surface flow by a parallel corrected particle scheme

In this work,the behavior of the three-dimensional(3D) jet coiling based on the viscoelastic Oldroyd-B model is investigated by a corrected particle scheme,which is named the smoothed particle hydrodynamics with corrected symmetric kernel gradient and shifting particle technique(SPH_CS_SP) method.The accuracy and stability of SPH_CS_SP method is first tested by solving Poiseuille flow and Taylor-Green flow.Then the capacity for the SPH_CS_SP method to solve the viscoelastic fluid is verified by the polymer flow through a periodic array of cylinders.Moreover,the convergence of the SPH_CS_SP method is also investigated.Finally,the proposed method is further applied to the 3D viscoelastic jet coiling problem,and the influences of macroscopic parameters on the jet coiling are discussed.The numerical results show that the SPH_CS_SP method has higher accuracy and better stability than the traditional SPH method and other corrected SPH method,and can improve the tensile instability.

A theoretical comparison of attenuation measurement techniques from backscattered ultrasound echoes

Accurate characterization of tissue pathologies using ultrasonic attenuation is strongly dependent on the accuracy of the algorithm that is used to obtain the attenuation coefficient estimates. In this paper, computer simulations were used to compare the accuracy and the precision of the three methods that are commonly used to estimate the local ultrasonic attenuation within a region of interest (ROI) in tissue; namely, the spectral log difference method, the spectral difference method, and the hybrid method. The effects of the inhomgeneities within the ROI on the accuracy of the three algorithms were studied, and the optimal ROI size (the number of independent echoes laterally and the number of pulse lengths axially) was quantified for each method. The three algorithms were tested for when the ROI was homogeneous, the ROI had variations in scatterer number density, and the ROI had variations in effective scatterer size. The results showed that when the ROI was homogeneous, the spectral difference method had the highest accuracy and precision followed by the spectral log difference method and the hybrid method, respectively. Also, when the scatterer number density varied, the spectral difference method completely failed, while the log difference method and hybrid method still gave good results. Lastly, when the scatterer size varied, all of the methods failed.     

Depletion interactions between colloidal particles in polymer solutions: density functional approach

A density functional theory for colloid–polymer mixtures based on the weighted-density approximation has been developed to investigate the depletion effects acting between two colloids immersed in a bath of polymers and the depletion effects for a colloid near a planar hard wall. The theoretical results for the polymer-induced depletion interactions and the local polymer density distributions are in good agreement with the computer simulations. The calculation shows that the depletion interaction for a colloid near a planar hard wall is much stronger than that between two colloids in a polymer solution because of the strong confinement effect. The behaviour of the depletion interactions has been analysed as a function of the polymer density, the polymer chain length, and the colloid/polymer size ratio. Strong depletion effects appear in short-chain systems and with large colloid/polymer size ratios.     

Probing the photonic density of states using layer-by-layer self-assembly

The process of spontaneous emission can be dramatically modified by optical microstructures and nanostructures. We have studied the modification of fluorescence dynamics using a variable thickness polymer spacer layer fabricated using layer-by-layer self-assembly with nanometer accuracy. The change in fluorescence lifetime with spacer layer thickness agrees well with theoretical predictions based on the modified photonic density of states (PDOS), and yields consistent values for the fluorophores' intrinsic fluorescence lifetime and quantum yield near a dielectric as well as a plasmonic interface. Based on this observation, we further demonstrate that self-assembled fluorophores can be used to probe the modified PDOS near optical microstructures and nanostructures.

Polydispersity index of polymers revealed by DOSY NMR

The polydispersity of a polymer chain is usually measured by its polydispersity index (PDI). In this study we present a method which allows to estimate the PDI of linear polymers from a simple diffusion experiment. The approach is based on the differential diffusion profile observed for the main polymer chain signal versus the extremity signal. From this difference, a statistical analysis of the DOSY spectrum allows the PDI to be estimated accurately, to the condition that the Flory coefficient of the polymer chain is known. Alternatively, the mass average molar mass Mw and the number average molar mass Mn can be extracted separately from the same spectrum. Results on PEO mixes reveal that, using this new method, PDI can be estimated with a very good accuracy. This method can easily be applied to almost any kind of linear polymers.     

Static and dynamic properties of grafted ring polymer: Molecular dynamics simulation

The static and dynamic properties of a system of end-grafted flexible ring polymer chains grafted to a flat substrate and exposed to a good solvent are studied by using a molecular dynamics method. The monomers are described by a coarse-grained bead-spring model. Varying the grafting density ρ and the degree of polymerization or chain length N, we obtain the density profiles of monomers, study the structural properties of the chain (radius of gyration, bond orientational parameters, etc.), and also present the dynamic characteristics such as chain energy and bond force. Compared with a linear polymer brush, the ring polymer brush exhibits different static and dynamic properties for moderate or short chain length, while it behaves like linear polymer brush in the regime of long chain length.     

The use of low density high accuracy (LDHA) data for correction of high density low accuracy (HDLA) point cloud

Coordinate measuring techniques rely on computer processing of coordinate values of points gathered from physical surfaces using contact or non-contact methods. Contact measurements are characterized by low density and high accuracy. On the other hand optical methods gather high density data of the whole object in a short time but with accuracy at least one order of magnitude lower than for contact measurements. Thus the drawback of contact methods is low density of data, while for non-contact methods it is low accuracy. In this paper a method for fusion of data from two measurements of fundamentally different nature: high density low accuracy (HDLA) and low density high accuracy (LDHA) is presented to overcome the limitations of both measuring methods. In the proposed method the concept of virtual markers is used to find a representation of pairs of corresponding characteristic points in both sets of data. In each pair the coordinates of the point from contact measurements is treated as a reference for the corresponding point from non-contact measurement. Transformation enabling displacement of characteristic points from optical measurement to their match from contact measurements is determined and applied to the whole point cloud. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm was evaluated by comparison with data from a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Three surfaces were used for this evaluation: plane, turbine blade and engine cover. For the planar surface the achieved improvement was of around 200 µm. Similar results were obtained for the turbine blade but for the engine cover the improvement was smaller. For both freeform surfaces the improvement was higher for raw data than for data after creation of mesh of triangles.
