木塑复合材料(wood plastic composites, WPC)中生物质和塑料的比例影响其物理力学性能和价格。建立一种快速、准确的方法预测WPC中生物质和塑料的含量对于WPC市场的进一步发展具有重要作用。现有的检测方法主要为热分析法,然而,热分析法固有的缺陷(包括检检测时间长、测精度低、操作复杂等)严重限制了其应用范围。为此,本研究采用红外光谱(FTIR)结合偏最小二乘法(PLS)对毛竹/聚丙烯(PP)复合材料样品中毛竹及PP的含量进行了快速测定。以毛竹为生物质填料、PP为基体材料,同时加入一定量的添加剂,采用挤出成型法制备了42个不同毛竹/PP比例的WPC样品。采用KBr压片法收集42个WPC样品的红外光谱数据,利用PLS-2和完全交互验证方式建立样品中毛竹及PP含量和光谱数据间的相关性模型。内部交互验证结果表明,对原始光谱进行一阶导数和SNV预处理后,选择1 800～800 cm-1 波段建立的模型性能最佳。毛竹和PP含量的校正模型决定系数R2均为0.955,校正标准偏差SEC分别为1.827和1.848。毛竹和PP含量的预测模型决定系数R2均为0.950,交互验证标准偏差SECV分别为1.927和1.950,RPD值均为4.45。外部验证结果表明,毛竹和PP含量相对预测偏差均低于6%,FTIR结合PLS法可以同时快速、准确地预测毛竹/PP复合材料中毛竹及PP含量。

Comparison of small-angle p and pp elastic scattering at 52.8 GeV center-of-mass energy at the CERN intersecting storage rings

Proton-antiproton and proton-proton elastic scattering have been measured in the four-momentum transfer range 0.001|t|0.06 GeV² for center-of-mass energy 52.8 GeV at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR). Using the known pp total cross section, a simultaneous fit to the p and pp differential cross sections yields the p total cross section; in addition, we obtain the ratio of the real-to-imaginary part of the forward nuclear-scattering amplitude and the nuclear-slope parameter for both p and pp. Our results show conclusively that the p total cross section is rising at ISR energies and lend support to conventional theories in which the difference between the p and pp total cross section vanishes at very high energy.

Positron scattering and ionization of neon atoms—theoretical investigations

Although positron scattering with inert gas atoms has been studied in theory as well as in experiment, there are discrepancies. The present work reports all the major total cross sections of e+-neon scattering at incident energies above ionization threshold, originating from a complex potential formalism. Elastic and cumulative inelastic scatterings are treated in the complex spherical e+-atom potential. Our total inelastic cross section includes positronium formation together with ionization and excitation channels in Ne. Because of the Ps formation channel it is difficult to separate out ionization cross sections from the total inelastic cross sections. An approximate method similar to electron-atom scattering has been applied to bifurcate ionization and cumulative excitation cross sections at energies from threshold to 2000 eV. Comparisons of present results with available data are made. An important outcome of this work is the relative contribution of different scattering processes, which we have shown by a bar-chart at the ionization peak.     

Evidence for nucleon-resonance excitation in omega-meson photoproduction

The photoproduction of the omega meson has been studied at GRAAL from threshold up to a photon energy of 1.5 GeV. The differential cross sections and beam asymmetries have been measured precisely at all angles. The total cross section is also obtained. Systematic enhancements of the differential cross section at large angles and nonzero beam asymmetries at intermediate angles provide clear evidence for s- and u-channel resonant processes. The data are compared to the results of hadron and quark models.     

H- formation in H0++ Mg collisions

Absolute differential and total cross sections for H^- formation in H⁰ + Mg collisions have been measured over the energy range 1.0–5.0 keV. The differential cross section is strongly peaked in the forward direction and exhibits a shoulder at low energies. The total cross section has two pronounced maxima, and this structure is discussed.     

Total cross section prediction of the collisions of positrons and electrons with alkali atoms using Gradient Tree Boosting

A relatively new computational technique, namely gradient tree boosting (GTB), is presented for modeling the total cross sections of the scattering of positrons and electrons by alkali atoms in the low and intermediate energy regions. The calculations have been performed in the framework of gradient tree boosting (GTB). The GTB has been running based on the experimental data of the total collisional cross sections to produce the total cross sections for each alkali atom as a function of the incident energy of the projectile as well as the atomic number and the static dipole polarizability of the atom. Moreover our GTB model is used to predict the experimental data for total collisional cross sections that are not used in the training session. The calculated and predicted total collisional cross sections are compared with the experimental data. We find that the GTB technique shows a good match to the experimental data. To our knowledge, this is the first application of the GTB technique to the data of positron and electron collisions with alkali atoms at low and intermediate energies.     

Positronium formation for positron scattering from metastable hydrogen

Positronium(Ps) formation for positron impact on metastable hydrogen in 2s state has been studied by using the twochannel, two-center eikonal final state-continuum initial distorted wave(EFS-CDW) method. The differential, integrated,and total cross sections for Ps formation in different states have been calculated from each channel opening thresholds to high energy region. The results are compared with other theoretical calculations available in the literature. For Ps formation in s-state at intermediate and high energies, our results are in good agreement with the prediction of distorted wave theory.Those formed in p-states and the total Ps formation cross sections are reported for the first time. It is shown that the total Ps formation cross sections for positron scattering from H(2s) state are significantly larger at relatively low energies, while smaller at high energies, compared with those obtained from hydrogen in ground state.

A Study of Intermediate Energy Proton-^16O Elastic Scattering Based on the α-Particle Model

In the framework of KMT multiple scattering theory, an optical potential for the intermediate energy proton-160 elastic scattering is presented based on the α particle model of 160. The differential cross sections, the analyzing powers, and the total cross sections of the intermediate energy proton-160 scattering have been calculated by using the obtained optical potential. The main features of the measured angular distributions of the cross section and the analyzing power can be well described. The calculated total cross sections are in good agreement with the experimental data at energies below 0.7 GeV and underestimate the data about 8% at higher energies.     

Total charge-changing cross sections for neutron-deficient isotopes from58Ni fragmentation

At the projectile-fragment separator FRS of GSI, relativistic secondary beams of about 520 MeV/nucleon were produced by fragmentation of a primary beam of⁵⁸Ni at 650 MeV/nucleon in a beryllium target. By means of aΔE—Bρ—TOF measurement, the fragments have been identified and their charge-changing probabilities in targets of CH₂, C, Al, and Pb have been determined. We describe the results for the total charge-changing cross sections in this first paper, whereas a second article deals with the partial charge-changing cross sections. At the drip line, the measured charge-changing cross sections exhaust close to 100% of the total interaction cross sections as calculated with semiempirical models. The measurements at the proton drip line with low-Z targets indicate that only a very small increase of the cross sections may be observed, whereas the measurements with a lead target show that no significant increase of the total charge-changing cross sections is present which would be a hint for low-lying dipole strength. Our experimental data are compared to Glauber-type calculations.     

Absolute differential bremsstrahlung cross section for the scattering of 0.6-keV electrons by xenon atoms

The spectral distribution of the absolute differential cross section for total bremsstrahlung, including ordinary and polarization, for the scattering of 0.6-keV electrons from free xenon atoms has been measured. The bremsstrahlung photons have been detected at an angle of 97° with respect to the electron motion direction. The investigations have been carried out in the ultrasoft x-ray spectral region 60–240 eV. The results are compared with the total cross sections for bremsstrahlung calculated in several approximations for the scattering of 5-and 25-keV electrons by Xe atoms. Both the value and the spectral distribution of the experimental absolute cross sections are most satisfactorily reproduced by the calculations in the distorted partial wave approximation.     

Effect of EPDM Content on Melt Flow,Microstructures and Fracture Behavior of Dynamically Vulcanized PP/EPDM Blends

Polypropylene (PP)/Ethylene‐propylene‐diene terpolymer (EPDM) blends were dynamically vulcanized with dicumyl peroxide (DCP), using a two‐step method of even dispersion of DCP in EPDM at first and then cross‐linking at elevated temperature. The results showed that though both chain scission and cross‐linking occurred, the cross‐linking reaction predominated in this process and the number of EPDM particles was increased, accompanied with a reduction in particle size and uniform dispersion. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results indicated the existence of PP/EPDM graft copolymer. The essential work of fracture (EWF) results showed that both the specific essential work of fracture (w _e ) and the specific plastic work (w _p ) increased with increasing EPDM content, the fracture toughness and plastic energy consumption (βw _p ) could be improved simultaneously and the ratio of w _e and βw _p could be controlled by adjusting EPDM and DCP content.     

Measured total cross sections of slow neutrons scattered by solid deuterium and implications for ultracold neutron sources

The total scattering cross sections for slow neutrons with energies in the range 100 neV to 3 meV for solid ortho-2H2 at 18 and 5 K, frozen from the liquid, have been measured. The 18 K cross sections are found to be in excellent agreement with theoretical expectations and for ultracold neutrons dominated by thermal up scattering. At 5 K the total scattering cross sections are found to be dominated by the crystal defects originating in temperature induced stress but not deteriorated by temperature cycles between 5 and 10 K.     

Rising Inelastic Cross Section and its Contribution to Steepening of the Cosmic Ray Energy Spectrum

Calculations have been carried out to investigate the contribution of an increasing total cross section to steepening of the cosmic ray energy spectrum at very high energies (E ? 10¹² eV). Our results suggest that increasing total cross section contributes only a part to the steepening of primary energy spectrum at very high energies even if the composition is pure primary iron flux.
