Influence of Bovine Bone Content on In Vitro Degradation of Poly-L-lactic Acid and Bovine Bone Composite Materials

In vitro degradation experiments of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and bovine bone (BB) composites were carried out in a phosphate-buffered solution (PBS) at 37°C with a pH of 7.4. The influence of BB content on pH value of PBS, water uptake, molecular weights, molecular weight distributions, weight losses, mechanical strengths, and morphologies of PLLA/BB was investigated with degradation times. The results indicated that the presence of the BB modified the degradation of the PLLA matrix. The degradation rate of PLLA in the PLLA/BB composite was slower than the degradation rate of the sole PLLA material. Furthermore, the degradation rate of the composites became slower with the increasing content of BB in PLLA/BB composites.     

Tribological Behavior of Multiply-Alkylated Cyclopentanes (MACs)-Cu Nanoparticles Composite Thin Film

Multiply-alkylated cyclopentanes (MACs) composite thin films containing Cu nanoparticles are fabricated on the octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS)-modified substrate by a spin-coating technique. The thickness, wetting behavior, and nanoscale morphologies of the films are characterized by means of ellipsometry, contact angle measurement, and atomic force microscope (AFM). The friction and wear behaviors of the thin films sliding against Si₃N₄ ball are examined on a UMT-2MT tribometer in a ball-on-disk contact mode. The worn surfaces of the OTS-MAC-Cu composite film and the counterpart Si₃N₄ balls are investigated with a scanning electron microscope. Water contact angle on OTS-MAC-Cu composite film is higher than that of OTS-MAC film. OTS-MAC-Cu composite film exhibits higher load-carrying capacity and better friction reduction and antiwear behavior as compared with OTS-MAC film. This may be attributed to the load-carrying and self-repairing property of the Cu nanoparticles in the composite film and the formation of a transfer layer composed of OTS, MAC, and Cu on the rubbing surface of the counterpart ball.     

Swelling Kinetics of PAAm–κ-Carrageenan Composites: A Fluorescence Technique

The steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique was introduced for studying swelling of disc-shaped polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels containing various amount of κ?carrageenan (κC). They were prepared by free-radical cross-linking copolymerization. N,N^′-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS) and ammonium persulfate (APS) were added as a cross-linker and an initiator, respectively. Composite gels were prepared at 80°C with pyranine as a fluorescence probe. After drying of these gels, swelling kinetics were performed in water at 60°C by real-time monitoring of the pyranine fluorescence intensity, I, which decreased as swelling proceeded. The Li–Tanaka equation was used to determine the swelling time constants, τ ₁, and cooperative diffusion coefficients, D ₀, from fluorescence intensity, weight, and volume variations of the gels during the swelling processes in all cases. It was observed that τ ₁ decreased and D ₀ increased as the κC concentrations in the composites were increased indicating that high κC gels swell faster than low κC gels.     

Tunable zeroth-order resonator based on a ferrite metamaterial structure

This paper proposes a tunable zeroth-order resonator on a composite right/left-handed transmission line consisting of a transversely magnetized ferrite substrate periodically loaded by microstrip inductors. Based on the propagation theory of edge guided modes, the analysis procedure of this structure is introduced. The numerical results demonstrate the tunability of the resonant frequency by changing the DC bias magnetic field applied to the ferrite. In contrast to previous work, the proposed structure is easy to design and fabricate and does not require a chip component.

提出一种基于背景光调制的用于傅里叶变换轮廓术测量范围的复合光栅,该光栅通过调制一正弦条纹和不含任何相位信息的背景光来抑制零频,较基于相移技术的复合光栅有更大的优势:背景光只含直流分量,使得复合光栅的频谱更加简单,有利于滤出载波信息,提高测量精度;对从复合光栅中解调出来的背景光只涉及平均值校准,校准过程更为简单;解调出的背景光与物体表面的反射率成正比,具有潜在的应用价值。采用Matlab程序对该复合光栅进行了数值模拟,并对该光栅实用性进行了实验研究,结果证实了该光栅用于抑制零频、扩大傅里叶变换轮廓术测量范围的有效性,且提高了测量精度。
