Flow-induced shear stress and deformation of a core–shell-structured microcapsule in a microchannel

A numerical model was developed and validated to investigate the fluid–structure interactions between fully developed pipe flow and core–shell-structured microcapsule in a microchannel. Different flow rates and microcapsule shell thicknesses were considered. A sixth-order rotational symmetric distribution of von Mises stress over the microcapsule shell can be observed on the microcapsule with a thinner shell configuration, especially at higher flow rate conditions. It is also observed that when being carried along in a fully developed pipe flow, the microcapsule with a thinner shell tends to accumulate stress at a higher rate compared to that with a thicker shell. In general, for the same microcapsule configuration, higher flow velocity would induce a higher stress level over the microcapsule shell. The deformation gradient was used to capture the microcapsule's deformation in the present study. The effect of Young's modulus on the microcapsule shell on the microcapsule deformation was investigated as well. Our findings will shed light on the understanding of the stability of core–shell-structured microcapsule when subjected to flow-induced shear stress in a microfluidic system, enabling a more exquisite control over the breakup dynamics of drug-loaded microcapsule for biomedical applications.

MCNOs/CdS双效光催化剂的制备及其性能研究

水热合成法制备了不同磁性纳米洋葱碳(MCNOs)负载量(0%、1%、3%、5%)的MCNOs/CdS光催化剂。并通过X射线衍射分析(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、傅里叶红外光谱(FT-IR)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、紫外可见光光谱(UV-Vis)、磁滞回线测定仪(VSM)对其进行表征,探究了MCNOs负载比例对催化剂在可见光下降解RhB性能及机理的影响。结果表明,MCNOs能有效提高CdS的光催化效果,复合3%MCNOs后降解率为96%,与纯CdS相比降解率提高了30%,磁性分析表明,其具有良好的顺磁性并能实现催化剂的有效回收。MCNOs/CdS在可见光下催化降解RhB的一级反应动力学直线有较好的拟合度,表明制备的催化剂有较好的催化活性。     

利用沙漠沙低温合成高长径比莫来石晶须

利用沙漠沙独特的化学组成特性和矿物特性,将沙漠沙荒料作为硅源,工业Al(OH)3作为铝源制备莫来石晶须.改变硅源/铝源配比和合成温度,结合XRD、SEM、TEM研究莫来石生长环境和自由生长形态的变化.研究结果表明:当沙漠沙与Al(OH)3的质量比为35/65时,在1200℃的低温下就能获得平均值>60的高长径比莫来石晶须;随着煅烧温度的升高,莫来石晶须长径比不断增大,当温度升至1300℃,平均长径比>94.随着合成温度的升高,莫来石的形成经过了一次莫来石和二次莫来石化两个阶段;若配方中Al2 O3处于过饱和状态,样品中刚玉相会随着煅烧温度的升高出现先增多后降低的变化现象.     

Nanocomposite hydrogel consisting of Na‐montmorillonite with enhanced mechanical properties

A new kind of nanocomposite (NC) hydrogel with Na‐montmorillonite (MMT) is presented in this article. The NC hydrogels were synthesized by free radical copolymerization of acrylamide and (3‐acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (ATC) in the presence of MMT and N,N′‐methylene‐bis‐acrylamide used as chemical cross‐linker. Due to the cation‐exchange reaction between MMT and ATC (cationic monomer) during the synthesis of NC hydrogels, MMT platelets were considered chemical “plane” cross‐linkers, different from “point” cross‐linkers. With increasing amount of MMT, the crosslinking degree enhanced, causing a decrease of the swelling degree at equilibrium. Investigations of mechanical properties indicated that NC hydrogels exhibited enhanced strength and toughness, which resulted from chemical interaction between exfoliated MMT platelets and polymer chains in hydrogels. Dynamic shear measurements showed that both storage modulus and loss modulus increased with increasing MMT content. The idea described here provided a new route to prepare hydrogels with high mechanical properties by using alternative natural Na‐MMT. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

基于响应面法的直拉硅单晶生长工艺参数优化方法

在直拉法制备硅单晶的过程中,要得到优质的晶体必须建立合理的温度分布,而单晶炉内热场的分布与工艺参数的设定密切相关.其中以晶体转速、坩埚转速和拉速等三个工艺参数对热场分布的影响尤为显著.为了确定最佳热场分布下晶转、埚转及拉速的设定值,本文采用响应面算法通过方程拟合、回归分析等步骤求解这三个工艺参量与温度梯度之间的最佳函数模型,并在该模型下同时对这三个工艺参量进行优化分析,且通过仿真实验和拉晶实验表明该方法的有效性.
