SHI induced modification in CR-39 polycarbonate by positron annihilation lifetime studies

CR-39 is a polycarbonate widely used as SSNTD for recording nuclear charged particles and in other applications. Latent ion tracks produced in the polymers due to the damage produced by the passage of Swift Heavy Ions contain amorphous material with highest degree of disorder, changing the free volume properties which have strong correlation with the macroscopic properties of the material. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) provides direct information about the dimension, content and hole size distribution of free volume in polymers. The effect of irradiation of ⁴⁰Ar (14.9 MeV/n) ions on CR-39 polycarbonate by Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS) is reported here. PALS provides a non-destructive and non-interfering probe, having high detection efficiency for free volume hole properties. From o-Ps lifetime mean free volume hole radius and average free volume of the micro-voids have been calculated. PAL measurement shows an increase in free volume on irradiation.     

High-affinity integration of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles with chemically modified silk fibroin

Hydroxyapatite (HA)-based nanocomposites were prepared by a co-precipitation method with silk fibroin (SF) serving as organic matrix. Silk fibroin was chemically modified with an alkali solution or an enzyme attempting to improve the interface between the mineral and the organic matrix. The influences of the alkali and enzyme pretreatments on microstructure and physicochemical properties of HA–SF composite were examined and compared. The results reveal that both the two kinds of pretreatments facilitate the formation of highly ordered three-dimensional porous network throughout the composites, increase the microhardness of the composite, and promote the preferential growth of HA crystallites along c-axis. Among all the as-prepared samples, the composite containing the enzyme pretreated SF shows desirable hierarchical microstructure with higher degree of organization and more uniform pore size distribution. Due to the enzyme pretreatment, HA crystallites undergo obvious changes in morphology from rod-like to␣whisker-like and in crystal growth towards more apparent epitaxy along c-axis. The alkali pretreatment induces the stronger chemical interactions between HA and SF and thus to strengthen the inorganic–organic interfacial adhesion. The newly developed HA–SF composites are expected to be attractive biomedical materials for bone repair and remodeling.

Effect of Ar+ irradiation on the electrical conductivity of BaCe0.9Y0.1O3−δ

The effects of 10 keV Ar⁺ ion irradiation on the electrical characteristics of BaCe_0.9Y_0.1O_2.95 subject to fluences of 0, 1.0 × 10¹⁷, 5.0 × 10¹⁷ and 1.0 × 10¹⁸ ions/cm² at room temperature, has been investigated using elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and alternating current (AC) impedance measurements. It was confirmed from the ERDA results that the hydrogen concentration near the surface increased with increase of Ar⁺ ion fluence. This increase may be associated with the increasing quantities of hydrogen generated by interaction between oxygen vacancies, formed by irradiation, and H₂O from exposure to air. SEM images showed clearly that the number of surface defects due to modification increased with increasing fluence. In addition, the size of the defects showed a tendency to increase with increasing fluence. From the results of XPS analyses, providing information on the electronic states on the surface, it was evident that with increase in the Ar⁺ ion fluence, the quantity of excess oxygen, such as hydroxide, increased in the oxygen 1s XPS spectrum. In addition, it was indirectly found, from decomposition of the Ce 3d, spectrum that the concentration of oxygen vacancies increased with fluence, since the percentage of Ce³⁺ also increased. Accordingly, the surface modification led to the formation of more oxygen vacancies and a greater hydrogen concentration on the surface, since the H₂O interacted with some of them. From the results of the DC conductivity and AC impedance measurements, the proton conductivity was shown to predominate over the temperature range from 473 K to 823 K. It was concluded that the increase in these protons and vacancies generated from surface modification contributed to the increase of proton conductivity.     

Surface modification of polypropylene with an atmospheric pressure plasma jet sustained in argon and an argon/water vapour mixture

In this paper, an atmospheric pressure plasma jet sustained in pure argon and an argon/water vapour mixture has been used to modify the surface of polypropylene (PP) films. The gas temperature of the plasma jet was found to be 625 K in an active zone between the electrodes and was found to increase in the afterglow. Based on these results, the PP films are placed as close as possible to the edge of the capillary in order to avoid thermal damage to the polymer. XPS results on the untreated and modified PP samples revealed incorporation of a significant amount of oxygen on the polymer surface, however, this oxygen inclusion is more pronounced for the argon/water vapour jet due to the higher radicals density in the jet afterglow. One can therefore conclude that adding water vapour to an argon plasma jet can be a convenient way to increase the efficiency of plasma surface modification.     

Enhanced in vitro biocompatibility of ultrafine-grained biomedical NiTi alloy with microporous surface

Bulk ultrafine-grained Ni_50.8Ti_49.2 alloy (UFG-NiTi) was successfully fabricated by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) technique in the present study, and to further improve its surface biocompatibility, surface modification techniques including sandblasting, acid etching and alkali treatment were employed to produce either irregularly roughened surface or microporous surface or hierarchical porous surface with bioactivity. The effect of the above surface treatments on the surface roughness, wettability, corrosion behavior, ion release, apatite forming ability and cytocompatibility of UFG-NiTi alloy were systematically investigated with the coarse-grained NiTi alloy as control. The pitting corrosion potential (E_pit) was increased from 393 mV (SCE) to 704 mV (SCE) with sandblasting and further increased to 1539 mV (SCE) with following acid etching in HF/HNO₃ solution. All the above surface treatment increased the apatite forming ability of UFG-NiTi in varying degrees when soaked them in simulated body fluid (SBF). Meanwhile, both sandblasting and acid etching could promote the cytocompatibility for osteoblasts: sandblasting enhanced cell attachment and acid etching increased cell proliferation. The different corrosion behavior, apatite forming ability and cellular response of UFG-NiTi after different surface modifications are attributed to the topography and wettability of the resulting surface oxide layer.     

Effect of stearic acid, zinc stearate coating on the properties of synthetic hydromagnesite

Synthetic hydromagnesite (SHM), used as flame retardant for polymers, may have similar or better flame retardancy effectiveness than aluminum tri-hydroxide (ATH) and magnesium di-hydroxide (MDH). Suitable surface modifiers are often employed to improve its dispersion and compatibility with polymer matrix. In this study, we chose stearic acid (SA) and zinc stearate (ZS) as the surface modifier, and investigated the properties of SHM modified with various surface modifier content using dry blending coating process. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetry (TG), particle size distribution, contact angle, oil absorption, bulk density, tapped density and Carr's index were employed to characterize the effect of surface modification. The results showed that the surface of SHM powders was changed from hydrophilic to lipophilic. The flowability of the surface modified powder was also improved. TG graphs showed that the surface modifier had no obvious influence on the degradation pathway of the SHM.     

铸造锌铝合金稀土变质机理的电子理论研究

根据分子动力学理论建立了液态锌铝合金ZA27的模型，结合计算机编程构造出了ZA27合金α 相与液相共存时的原子结构模型，利用递归方法计算了稀土固溶于晶粒内和富集于结晶前沿 时的电子结构.由此得出：稀土处于相界区比在晶内更稳定，从而解释了稀土在α相内溶解 度很小，结晶时富集于结晶前沿液体中的事实；稀土处于液态和晶态的结构能差相对于铝较 大解释了稀土在相界前的富集使α晶枝产生熔断、游离、增殖的观点.原子间的键级积分计 算也表明，稀土处于结晶前沿液体中与铝相比不容易结晶到晶体表面，起到阻碍晶粒长大， 细化晶粒的作用，这就从电子层次解释了稀土的变质机理. 关键词： 电子结构 液固相界原子结构模型 稀土变质机理
