Local existence-uniqueness and continuation of solutions for delay stochastic evolution equations

In this article, we consider dynamic behaviours of a class of non-linear delay stochastic evolution equations. Local existence and uniqueness of the solutions are obtained with the aid of proper iterative scheme and moment estimations. We also propose a continuation result and our results generalize the known results.

A novel intramolecular reversible reaction between the hydroxyl group and isobutenylene chain in a cyclophane-type macrocycle

A novel Hg²⁺ ion induced reversible ring contraction was achieved employing the intramolecular reaction of isobutylene with an aromatic hydroxyl group of cyclophane; reversibility of the reaction was facilitated by excess addition of NaBH₄ which also resulted in complexation. The ring contraction and expansion was monitored by UV-VIS absorption, and by fluorescence and ¹H NMR spectra. Switchable fluorescence behavior (on—off—on) was observed when the ring-size was tuned from a 19-membered ring to an 18-membered and vice versa. This fine tuning has the potential to be applied in the construction of new supramolecular devices.     

Design of a small-sized expanded coaxial line antenna at L-band

为了减小常规L波段高功率微波测量接收天线的结构尺寸及增益,设计了一种基于轴向缝隙馈电的小型化同轴扩张型天线.通过理论分析和数值模拟,选择了较优的结构尺寸,得到天线的增益及方向图特性:在1.3～1.6 GHz范围内,增益从-2.0 dBi变化至0.8 dBi；天线最大辐射方向在物理结构轴向.基于矢量网络分析仪E8362B的天线特性测量结果与数值计算结果基本一致:工作频率从1 3～1 6GHz变化时,增益从-2.3 dBi变化至1.2 dBi；E面方向图主瓣宽度大于 60°,轴向轴比大于35dB,结果表明设计的天线能够满足L波段高功率微波渊量天线低增益小型化要求.     

Highly efficient toughening effect of ultrafine full-vulcanized powdered rubber on poly(lactic acid)(PLA)

A unique ultrafine full-vulcanized powdered ethyl acrylate rubber (EA-UFPR) was used as the toughening modifier for poly (lactic acid) (PLA). Largely improved tensile toughness was successfully achieved with the incorporation of only 1 wt% EA-UFPR, while the tensile strength and modulus of the blends were almost the same as pure PLA. The highly efficient toughening of PLA by UFPR is mainly ascribed to the strong interfacial interaction between PLA and UFPR and good dispersion of UFPR particles in PLA matrix. Our work provides an effective toughening method to largely improve the mechanical properties of PLA without sacrificing its stiffness, which is very important for the wide application of PLA materials.
