Monolithic columns were introduced in the early 1990s and have become increasingly popular as efficient stationary phases for most of the important chromatographic separation modes. Monoliths are functionally distinct from porous particle-based media in their reliance on convective mass transport. This makes resolution and capacity independent of flow rate. Monoliths also lack a void volume. This eliminates eddy dispersion and permits high-resolution separations with extremely short flow paths. The analytical value of these features is the subject of recent reviews. Nowadays, among other types of rigid macroporous monoliths, the polymethacrylate-based materials are the largest and most examined class of these sorbents. In this review, the applications of polymethacrylate-based monolithic columns are summarized for the separation, purification and analysis of low and high molecular mass compounds in the different HPLC formats, including micro- and large-scale HPLC modes. 相似文献
The knowledge of response times of active material is essential for their efficient use as actuators. In this paper the heating and cooling times of a shape memory alloy wire (NiTi) under a constant load are predicted by the integration of the corresponding heat equation. The comparison with a ‘fictitious’ material with the same material characteristics but without phase transformation shows that the response times are longer for the SMA (around 2.7 times for heating and 1.5 times for cooling).

The paper presents a procedure for the formulation of constitutive equations for rate-independent pseudoelastic SMA material models. The procedure applies a rheological scheme representing mechanical properties of the material. An additive decomposition of strains into two parts is proposed. The first part describes strains of a perfectly elastic body while the second part may be represented by a combination of a rigid perfectly elastic body and a rigid perfectly plastic body. It is demonstrated that the key problem of formulation of constitutive relationships is to derive the 1st order differential equation with respect to the tensor describing the second part of the strain field. This equation may be obtained in explicit form starting from the variational inequalities defining non-elastic parts of rheological model. The uniqueness of the obtained differential equation has been proved. A numerical implementation of the constitutive relationships of SMA material was done through the user subroutine module VUMAT within the FE commercial code ABAQUS/Explicit. As an example we analyzed the problem of vibration of a simple 3D structure made of SMA. 相似文献
A novel capacitor with high dielectric constant (ε) has been developed by blending poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with polyamide (PA11). The blends show high dielectric constants (εblend = 40), which give better frequency stability (1 MHz), and excellent mechanical properties. Based on certain volume fractions, the measured dielectric constants (ε blend ) were found to exceed those of the corresponding polymers, in contrasted to conventional composites, where εpolymerA < εcomposite < εpolymerB. SEM investigations suggest that the enhanced dielectric behavior originates from significant interfacial polymer‐polymer interactions. DSC and XRD demonstrate that blending PA11 with PVDF affects the crystalline behavior of each component. However, the PA11/PVDF blends exhibit a slightly high dielectric loss (tanδ ≈ 0.17), which is a great disadvantage to a capacitor. Adding a copolymer of styrene and maleic anhydride decreased the dielectric loss (tanδ ≈ 0.057) and increased the dielectric constant (εblend = 60). Our findings suggest that the high‐ε polymeric blends created represent a novel type of material that is flexible and easy to process, of relatively high dielectric constant, of high breakdown strength and, moreover, is suited to applications in flexible electronics.
