Measurement and quantitative analysis of fiber orientation distribution in long fiber reinforced part by injection molding

The fiber orientation distribution is one of the important microstructure variables for thermoplastic composites reinforced with discontinuous fibers. In this paper, the long fibers in the injection molded part are measured in detail by micro X-ray CT. A three dimensional (3D) structure of the sample is built and two dimensional images are generated for image analysis. The orientation tensor of fibers is calculated in the flow plane. It shows a symmetric distribution of fibers through the thickness direction, which consists of outer skin, transition zone and the core. The skin layer is so thin that it has only one layer of highly oriented fibers. The core layer also has highly oriented fibers but the direction of fibers is different from that in the skin layer. Nevertheless, the clustering of the fibers is characterized quantitatively in the core. The transition zone can be divided into two subzones by the principal directions of the tensor.

Virus and bacterial removal ability of TiO2 nanowire-based self-supported hybrid membranes

Development and application of hybrid membranes containing multi-component materials are increasing day by day in the fields of environmental protection and water treatment. In this research, the efficiency of titania nanowire (TiO₂ NW)-based self-supported hybrid membranes was investigated in the removal of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria and MS2 bacteriophages from contaminated water mimicking the microorganism suspension. Furthermore, toxicology tests on the as-prepared membranes were also performed. TiO₂ NWs were coated with iron(III) oxide (Fe₂O₃) and copper(II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles, respectively, and cellulose was used as reinforcement material. It was found that, the functionalisation strongly affected the MS2 removal ability of as-prepared membranes, which can be due to the electrostatic interactions between the surface of hybrid membrane and the bacteriophages. The most efficient removal (greater than or equal to 99.99%) was obtained with the TiO₂ NW-CuO-cellulose membrane at pH 7.0. The fabricated hybrid membranes were characterized by micro computed tomography (μCT), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), contact angle measurement and inductively coupled optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) techniques. This study shows a simple route of the usage of novel and effective inorganic nanowire-based hybrid membranes for bacteria and virus removal, providing new pathways in the field of water filtration technologies.     

三氰基乙烯基甲基咔唑的光物理性质──能级邻近效应和溶剂化显色效应

在许多含氮杂环和芳香族拨基化合物中,能量最低的nπ^*态与能量最低的ππ^*态能级非常接近,这种能级分布往往导致nπ^*态和ππ^*态中能量较低的一个激发态的有效的无辐射失活。这就是能级邻近效应。这种效应被认为是nπ^*和ππ^*两能级间振动相互作用的结果。

The results show that the micromegas neutron detector has high spatial resolution and is a good candidate for neutron radiography. The three dimensional images of plant roots in soil are successfully and clearly obtained by the 14 MeV neutron CT with micromegas as a neutron detector. In the present simulation, MCNP is employed for 14 MeV neutron transport in the sample and Matlab for the 3 D photograph reconstruction.     

Preparation and Evaluation of Novel Folate Isonitrile 99mTc Complexes as Potential Tumor Imaging Agents to Target Folate Receptors

In order to seek novel technetium-99m folate receptor-targeting agents, two folate derivatives (CN5FA and CNPFA) were synthesized and radiolabeled to obtain [^99mTc]Tc-CN5FA and [^99mTc]Tc-CNPFA complexes, which exhibited high radiochemical purity (>95%) without purification, hydrophilicity, and good stability in vitro. The KB cell competitive binding experiments indicated that [^99mTc]Tc-CN5FA and [^99mTc]Tc-CNPFA had specificity to folate receptor. Biodistribution studies in KB tumor-bearing mice illustrated that [^99mTc]Tc-CN5FA and [^99mTc]Tc-CNPFA had specific tumor uptake. Compared with [^99mTc]Tc-CN5FA, the tumor/muscle ratios of [^99mTc]Tc-CNPFA were higher, resulting in a better SPECT/CT imaging background. According to the results, the two ^99mTc complexes have potential as tumor imaging agents to target folate receptors.

致密砂岩渗透率在油气勘探开发、地应力测量及水库地质灾害等领域具有重要意义,但鉴于目前实验技术局限性,温压耦合渗透率测量尚无法通过实验手段实现. 在已有研究工作基础上,首次建立了基于D3Q27数字岩芯模型,并计算了高温压耦合低渗砂岩渗透率问题. 首先,以鄂尔多斯盆地某油田延长组致密砂岩为例,利用X射线CT断层成像技术岩芯获取10μm, 5μm, 2μm分辨率致密砂岩内部结构数据,应用基于量子力学第一性原理的D3Q27格子波尔兹曼数字岩芯模型建立数值模型. 进而,利用自编3DLBM程序分别计算了不同分辨率渗透率随围压(0～200MPa)、孔隙压(0～65MPa)和温度(25℃～180℃)变化规律,通过与Inc AUTOLAB2 000C岩石测试分析系统实验结果对比,验证了程序的可靠性,得到低渗砂岩断层最佳分辨率;最后,在并行CPU-GPU平台上计算了高温高压耦合(0℃～400℃, 0～1.4 GPa)下致密砂岩渗透率值及其各向异性随温压变化规律,并讨论了致密砂岩中水在达到超临界状态后对致密岩石内部结构的影响.     

变电压X射线多谱CT成像虚拟设计

复杂结构件在X射线成像时,由于射线透照方向上有效厚度差异大、成像器件动态范围受限等原因,单一电压下的射线图像易出现过曝光和欠曝光共存现象,投影信息缺失严重,无法进行CT重建,为此提出了变电压多谱CT成像理论与方法。通过改变电压改变X光谱分布,实现X光谱与检测对象有效厚度的匹配,扩展图像动态范围,确保检测对象投影信息的完整性;同时基于虚拟设计思想,建立了基于单能和多能的变电压虚拟CT模型,实现了变电压X射线CT成像的虚拟仿真。虚拟实验表明：变电压多谱CT成像原理是可行的,能够实现复杂结构件CT成像。
