Prototype of space-borne LTT module and its ground tests

In order to develop the technique of Laser Time Transfer (LTT), Shanghai Astronomical Observatory has built a prototype of space-borne LTT module. The performance of the LTT module and the results of ground tests are discussed in the paper. The average precision of time difference between two rubidium clocks measured by laser pulses is 196 ps, and the uncertainty of measurement for the relative frequency differences is 1.2×10⁻¹³/2800 s.

Experimental investigation of the generation of large-amplitude internal solitary wave and its interaction with a submerged slender body

A principle of generating the nonlinear large-amplitude internal wave in a stratified fluid tank with large cross-section is proposed according to the‘jalousie’control mode.A new wave-maker based on the principle was manufactured and the experiments on the generation and evolution of internal solitary wave were conducted.Both the validity of the new device and applicability range of the KdV-type internal soliton theory were tested.Furthermore,a measurement technique of hydrodynamic load of internal waves was developed.By means of accurately measuring slight variations of internal wave forces exerted on a slender body in the tank,their interaction characteristics were determined.It is shown that through establishing the similarity between the model scale in the stratified fluid tank and the full scale in the numerical simulation the obtained measurement results of internal wave forces are confirmed to be correct.     

Preparation of novel methyl methacrylate/fluorinated silsesquioxane copolymer film with low surface energy

Random copolymers of methyl methacrylate and fluorinated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (F-POSS) were synthesized and the corresponding thin films were prepared from solvent casting. Their microstructure was confirmed by ¹H NMR, elemental analysis and GPC. Separation occurs in the bulk of the film during solvent evaporation which can be evidenced by Transmission Electron Microscopy, TEM, with POSS-rich nanophase sizes from 20 to 50 nm. Nanostructuration is attributed to the self-assembly of F-POSS due to the cluster-cluster interactions resulting from the nature of their ligands, i.e., cycloaliphatic ligands and perfluorinated chains. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to investigate the thermal degradation temperature. It was shown that when F-POSS content is higher than 2.8 mol%, the incorporation of F-POSS could improve the thermal stability of PMMA significantly. In addition, it was shown that these fluorinated POSS-based copolymer surfaces could reduce the surface energy and could be used to design water-repellant nanocomposite coatings.
