利用无机化学在线课程资源，开展翻转课堂的教学实践

During the years of 2015 to 2018, the inorganic chemistry course in Tianjin University has gradually transited from small private on-line course (SPOC) to flipped classroom. Flipped classroom teaching practices were carried out at more than 30 classes at our university by the sufficient use of on-line course resources. These practices effectively improve the quality of teaching, and greatly solve the problem of poor learning initiative and low participation of the students existing in current traditional teaching model. This article in detail introduces and summarizes the following four aspects, including transition of teaching modes, construction of online resources, online and offline supervising, test scores analysis and teaching thought. The effective ways for flipped classroom mode are discussed to improve students' knowledge and learning ability. And it also provides references for teachers to carry out their classroom teaching reform.     

Ferromagnetism of MnxLiyZn1−x−yO films

We had prepared Mn-doped ZnO and Li, Mn codoped-ZnO films with different concentrations using spin coating method. Crystal structure and magnetic measurements demonstrate that the impurity phases (ZnMnO₃) are not contributed to room temperature ferromagnetism and the ferromagnetism in Mn-doped ZnO film is intrinsic. Interesting, saturated magnetization decreases with Mn or Li concentration increase, showing that some antiferromagnetism exists in the samples with high Mn or Li concentration. In addition, Mn_0.05Zn_0.95O film annealed in vaccum shows larger ferromagnetism than the as-prepared sample and more oxygen vacancies induced by annealing in reducing atmosphere enhance ferromagnetism, which supports the bound magnetic polaron model on the origin of room temperature ferromagnetism.     

Automatic dispersion,long-term stability of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in high concentration electrolytes

Nanoparticles have been known as the useful materials in working fluids for petroleum industry. But the stabilization of nano-scaled materials in water-based working fluids at high salinities is still a big challenge. In this study, we successfully prepared the anionic polymer/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) composites by covalently wrapping of MWNTs with poly (sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) to improve the stability of MWNTs in high concentration electrolytes. The PSS/MWNTs composites can automatically disperse in salinity up to 15 wt% NaCl and API brines (8 wt% NaCl?+?2 wt% CaCl₂). Hydrodynamic diameters of composites were measured as a function of ionic strength and API brines by dynamic light scattering (DLS). By varying the concentration of brines, hydrodynamic diameter of PSS/MWNTs composites in brines fluctuated between 545?±?110 nm for 14 days and 673?±?171 nm for 30 days. Above results showed that PSS/MWNTs could be well stable in high salts solutions for a long period of time. After wrapped with PSS, the diameters of nanotubes changed from 30?~?40 to ~?430 nm, the thickness of wrapped polymer is about ~?400 nm by analysis of morphologies. The zeta potentials of PSS/MWNTs composites in various salinity of brines kept at approximately ??41?~???52 mV. Therefore, the well dispersion of PSS/MWNTs in high salinity is due to large negative charges of poly (sodium 4-styrenesulfonate), which provide enough electrostatic repulsion and steric repulsion to hinder compression of electric double layer caused by high concentration electrolytes.

Design of a MEMS micromirror actuated by electrostatic repulsive force

A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) micromirror actuated by electrostatic repulsive force is demonstrated. The design is based on the principle that an asymmetric electric field produced by special layout of the electrodes can generate a repulsive force, which moves the mirror surface upwards. The factors affecting the magnitude of the driving force of the micromirror actuator are analyzed by FEA. The prototype is fabricated using a commercial available surface micromachining process and successfully tested using a Zygo NewView7300 interferometer. The displacement of the micromirror reaches 1.2 μm at 60 V.     

在线课程与翻转课堂相结合的大学化学混合式教学实践

介绍了自2017年以来天津大学大学化学课程使用在线课程和翻转课堂相结合的混合式教学实践,包括课程的组织模式、翻转课堂内容的选择、翻转课堂课时与课程总课时的比例、期末成绩分析和教学反思等。教学实践结果显示,选取学生在中学化学有一定基础的知识点作为教学内容,课时占课程总课时的30%–50%时进行翻转课堂教学,教学效果明显好于完全传统教学的平行对照班。
