残影不良分析及改善对策研究

通过对大量残影不良样品进行分析,找到了残影不良产生的原因,并基于分析结果设计了改善残影的实验。通过分析发现:残影不良产生的原因是彩膜侧像素与黑矩阵之间的段差过大,在摩擦工程时段差过大区域形成了摩擦弱区,摩擦弱区内的液晶分子配向较弱,导致不良产生。为降低残影不良进行实验,结果显示:在彩膜侧加覆盖层可以有效降低残影不良的发生率,但不适用于量产;通过采用高预倾角的配向膜材料,同时控制配向膜工程到摩擦工程的时间,可使残影不良发生率由28.2%降低至0.2%,为企业的稳定高效生产奠定了基础。

雷达罩会降低机载脉冲多普勒(PD)雷达的性能。评估雷达罩对其性能影响是机载PD雷达设计过程中必不可少的环节。首先分析雷达罩对雷达天线方向图的影响,包括增益下降、波束变宽、波束偏转、副瓣抬高、产生镜像瓣和零深电平抬高等,然后分析天线性能下降对机载PD雷达的性能影响。通过仿真进一步分析了天线副瓣、镜像瓣对雷达中、低重频模式的性能影响。最后给出结论,天线罩会降低机载PD雷达的测距、测角性能。     

一种地形条件下电波传播入射余角估计算法

入射余角是利用抛物方程模型研究地形条件下电波传播问题的重要参数,但该参数估计具有单次快拍、信号相干和实时性要求高的特点,传统的估计算法难以同时满足上述要求.针对上述问题,提出了基于单次快拍的空间平滑旋转不变性的信号参数估计(Estimating Signal Parameters via Rotational Invariance Techniques, ESPRIT)算法.直接采用单次数据的前后向空间平滑子阵构造centro-Hermitian伪协方差矩阵以实现信号解相干,应用酉变换将复数域的奇异值分解转换为实数域求解,利用ESPRIT算法代替多重信号分类算法估计入射余角.仿真结果表明:该算法能够实现电波传播入射余角的快速估计,准确反映地形起伏对入射余角的影响,与现有算法相比提高了实时性和估计精度.     

Hyperbranched polyimide application in liquid crystal alignment layers

Several hyperbranched polyimides (HBPIs) were applied in liquid crystal (LC) alignment layers and exhibited outstanding performance for LC alignment. The maximum pretilt angle was above 8°, and the minimum pretilt angle was 4.2°. The results of atomic force microscope measurement disclosed that a lot of grooves were aligned parallel to the rubbing direction and found that the grooves were not main factor for LC alignment. The LC alignment and pretilt angles are unambiguously associated with the intrinsic HBPI chemical structures. The results of thermal gravimetric analysis and ultraviolet–visible spectra showed that the HBPIs had good thermal stability and excellent transmittance. T₅ and T₁₀ were higher than 360°C and 400°C, respectively. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Grafting onto Wool. XXVII. Graft Copolymerization of MixeD Vinyl Monomers by Use of Ceric Ammonium Nitrate as Redox Initiator

In order to ascertain the effect of a donor monomer, vinyl acetate (VAc), on the graft copolymerization of acceptor monomers, ethyl acrylate (EA) and butyl acrylate (BA), grafting of mixed vinyl monomers (EA + VAc) and (BA + VAc) was carried out on Himachali wool in aqueous medium using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as a redox initiator. Graft copolymerization was carried out at different temperatures for various reaction periods. Percent grafting and percent efficiency were determined as functions of 1) concentration of mixed vinyl monomers, 2) concentration of CAN, 3) concentration of HNO₃ 4) temperature, and 5) reaction time. VAc, the donor monomer, was found to decrease percent grafting of EA and BA onto wool.     

At-line bioprocess monitoring by immunoassay with rotationally controlled serial siphoning and integrated supercritical angle fluorescence optics

In this paper we report a centrifugal microfluidic “lab-on-a-disc” system for at-line monitoring of human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) in a typical bioprocess environment. The novelty of this device is the combination of a heterogeneous sandwich immunoassay on a serial siphon-enabled microfluidic disc with automated sequential reagent delivery and surface-confined supercritical angle fluorescence (SAF)-based detection. The device, which is compact, easy-to-use and inexpensive, enables rapid detection of hIgG from a bioprocess sample. This was achieved with, an injection moulded SAF lens that was functionalized with aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) using plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) for the immobilization of protein A, and a hybrid integration with a microfluidic disc substrate. Advanced flow control, including the time-sequenced release of on-board liquid reagents, was implemented by serial siphoning with ancillary capillary stops. The concentration of surfactant in each assay reagent was optimized to ensure proper functioning of the siphon-based flow control. The entire automated microfluidic assay process is completed in less than 30 min. The developed prototype system was used to accurately measure industrial bioprocess samples that contained 10 mg mL⁻¹ of hIgG.     

Fingerprints of Phalaenopsis Tissues in Growth and Spike Induction Periods—A Solid‐state 13C NMR Approach

Solid‐state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (ss‐NMR) ¹³C single‐pulse excitation spectroscopy in combination with the magic‐angle spinning (MAS) technique was applied to a series of Phalaenopsis tissues, including the leaf, sheath, stem, and root, at different growth and spiking periods. Compared with{¹H}/¹³C cross‐polarization MAS spectra, the ¹³C single‐pulse excitation MAS spectra displayed very distinct spectral patterns, recognizable as fingerprints of the tissues studied. ¹Here, we demonstrate that solid‐state ¹³C single‐pulse excitation NMR spectroscopy provides a direct and robust analytical tool for studying the various tissues of Phalaenopsis in different growth and spiking induction periods.     

Tailoring the morphology and properties of waterborne polyurethanes by the procedure of cellulose nanocrystal incorporation

Polyurethane waterborne synthesis was performed using a two-step method, commonly referred to as a prepolymer method. Nanocomposites based on waterborne polyurethane and cellulose nanocrystals were prepared by the prepolymer method by altering the mode and step in which the nanofillers were incorporated during the polyurethane formation. The morphology, structural, thermal, and mechanical properties of the resulting nanocomposite films were evaluated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and tensile tests. FTIR results indicated that the degree of interaction between the nanofillers and the WPU through hydrogen bonds could be controlled by the method of cellulose nanocrystal incorporation. Data obtained from SAXS experiments showed that the cellulose nanocrystals as well as the step of the reaction in which they are added influenced the morphology of the polyurethane. The reinforcing effect of CNCs on the nanocomposites depends on their morphology.     

Ageing of surface treated thermoplastic polyolefins

Thermoplastic polyolefin panels were treated with a flame, flame & water, and accelerated thermo molecular adhesion process (ATmaP) treatment. XPS, contact angle and adhesion test (pull off) results were acquired over a one year period to determine the changes in the elemental composition, surface energy and adhesion strength respectively over time. All surface-treated thermoplastic polyolefin samples showed a sharp decline in adhesion strength up to an ageing period totalling 6 months. The decline in adhesion strength was correlated with a decline in the nitrogen-containing constituents and C–O functional groups at the surface and a decline in surface energy for the flame & water-treated sample. There was no significant change in adhesion strength for all samples for ageing periods greater than 6 months. ATmaP-treated thermoplastic polyolefin outperformed the other two surface treatments in adhesion strength tests due to ATmaP retaining nitrogen-based functional groups (mainly nitrogen oxides) over the year long study. This retention of functionality allowed for a slower ageing process for ATmaP-treated surfaces in comparison to the other surface treatments.
