Conjugated polymer covalently modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes for optical limiting

A new soluble multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) covalently functionalized with conjugated polymer PCBF, in which the wt % of MWNTs is approximately calculated as 7.3%, and the average thickness of PCBF covalently grafted onto MWNTs is 10.4 nm, was synthesized by an amidation reaction. In contrast to the starting polymer PCBF‐NH₂, grafting of PCBF onto MWNTs led to a 0.3 eV red‐shift of the N1s XPS peak at 399.7 eV assigning to N in the unreacted NH₂moieties in the resulting copolymer structure and an appearance of new peak at 402 eV corresponding to N bound to the carbonyl C (i.e., NH? C?O). Unlike PCBF‐NH₂, which only displayed a weak optical limiting response at 532 nm, Z‐scan for MWNT‐PCBF exhibited a much broader reduction in transmission and a scattering accompanying on the focus of the lens at both 532 and 1064 nm, indicating a prominent broadband optical limiting response. The thermally induced nonlinear scattering is responsible for the optical limiting. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2010     

Fatigue life prediction of in-plane gusset welded joints using strain energy density factor approach

Fatigue crack growth behavior of in-plane gusset welded joints is studied using the strain energy density factor approach. Fatigue tests were performed in order to estimate fatigue strength under tension. Fatigue crack growth analysis was carried out to show the effects of the initial crack shape, the initial crack length, and the stress ratio on the crack types of in-plane gusset welded joints. The assumed crack types were edge crack, semi-elliptical crack, and corner crack. Fatigue crack growth parameters were obtained from crack growth curves assuming constant crack shapes for the given crack types. The results of analysis for the assumed crack types agreed well with the experimental data. The fatigue life did not change as initial crack shape varied for a given initial crack length.     

Coupling of Foam Drainage and Viscous Fingering in Porous Media Revealed by X-ray Computed Tomography

We investigate the development foam in granular porous media and the subsequent flow of the surfactant solution, where the fluid fraction variations are visualized and quantified using X-ray computed tomography. It is found that foam flows in a front like manner leading to a residual liquid fraction of 0.18±0.01, far from the inlet surface of the porous sample. A desaturation backward wave is also observed during foam development. We provided direct evidence that the flow of surfactant solution in porous media containing foam gives rise to superposition of a drainage wave and a characteristic viscous fingering pattern. In the wave the liquid fraction ranges from the above residual value to nearly 0.25±0.01. The liquid fraction associated with the viscous fingering decays as a function of distance but the inlet value increases up to 0.06±0.01. Certain ideas about the physics of foam flow in porous media are revised in the light of our findings.     

Impacts of appearance parameters on perceived image quality for mobile-phone displays

In order to investigate the perceived image quality (IQ) influenced by different image appearance parameters, a psychophysical experiment was carried out on two mobile-phone displays of different technologies, the in-plane switching (IPS) and the active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED). The test images were generated within a wide range of variations by applying various manipulation methods, involving changes in several kinds of image appearance parameters, i.e. lightness, chroma, hue, and spatial frequency. The perceived attributes of naturalness, colourfulness, brightness, contrast, sharpness, clearness, preference, and overall IQ were visually assessed via categorical judgement method for several application types of test images. The impacts of the manipulation methods on individual attributes have been deeply discussed based on the interrelationships of these attributes, which reveal that the significant parameters towards better overall IQ for mobile-phone displays include high lightness, suitable chroma and lightness frequency distribution, and impartial hue, accordingly better image quality will be accomplished after all these parameters have been optimised at the same time. The achievements of this study would provide constructive instructions on achieving excellent display effects for researchers and manufactories of mobile-phone displays.

High strain rate in-plane shear behavior of composites

Studies are presented on in-plane shear properties of a typical plain weave E-glass/epoxy composite under high strain rate loading. In-plane shear properties were determined with ±45 degree off-axis compression and tension tests using a split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus. In-plane shear properties are presented as a function of axial and shear strain rates. The range of axial strain rates for off-axis compression tests was 819–2003 per sec, and for off-axis tension tests was 91–180 per sec, whereas the range of shear strain rates for off-axis compression tests was 1388–3442 per sec and for off-axis tension tests was 153–303 per sec. In general, it was observed that in-plane shear strength was enhanced at high strain rate loading compared to that at quasi-static loading. Also, it was observed that in-plane shear strength increased with increasing strain rate within the range of strain rates considered.
