Creating Coordination‐Based Cavities in a Multiresponsive Supramolecular Gel

Creating cavities in varying levels, from molecular containers to macroscopic materials of porosity, have long been motivated for biomimetic or practical applications. Herein, we report an assembly approach to multiresponsive supramolecular gels by integrating photochromic metal–organic cages as predefined building units into the supramolecular gel skeleton, providing a new approach to create cavities in gels. Formation of discrete O‐Pd₂L₄ cages is driven by coordination between Pd²⁺ and a photochromic dithienylethene bispyridine ligand (O‐PyFDTE). In the presence of suitable solvents (DMSO or MeCN/DMSO), the O‐Pd₂L₄ cage molecules aggregate to form nanoparticles, which are further interconnected through supramolecular interactions to form a three‐dimensional (3D) gel matrix to trap a large amount of solvent molecules. Light‐induced phase and structural transformations readily occur owing to the reversible photochromic open‐ring/closed‐ring isomeric conversion of the cage units upon UV/visible light radiation. Furthermore, such Pd₂L₄ cage‐based gels show multiple reversible gel–solution transitions when thermal‐, photo‐, or mechanical stimuli are applied. Such supramolecular gels consisting of porous molecules may be developed as a new type of porous materials with different features from porous solids.     

干式变压器有限元仿真模型的电磁和振动分析

随着电力需求的逐年增长,干式变压器的数量也在不断增加。干式变压器在运行时存在着振动和噪声的问题,为了对干式变压器振动的规律与特点进行研究,本文建立了干式变压器本体振动的有限元仿真模型,通过电磁分析获得相应的磁场分布,然后利用结构动力学分析得到其本体振动的相关规律。通过对处于运行状态的变压器振动数据进行实测分析,得到变压器振动的特征频率,然后对仿真结果进行对比分析,可以发现振动幅度与频率之间存在的关系。本文的研究结果可对干式变压器的减振降噪研究提供参考。     

Influence of external load on friction coefficient of Fe-polytetrafluoroethylene

A coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation model was developed in this study to investigate the friction process occurring between Fe and polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE).We investigated the effect of an external load on the friction coefficient of Fe–PTFE using the molecular dynamics simulations and experimental methods.The simulation results show that the friction coefficient decreases with the external load increasing,which is in a good agreement with the experimental results.The high external load could result in a larger contact area between the Fe and PTFE layers,severer springback as a consequence of the deformed PTFE molecules,and faster motion of the PTFE molecules,thereby affecting the friction force and normal force during friction and consequently varying the friction coefficient.
