ELASTIC BEHAVIOR OF PROTEIN-LIKE SINGLE CHAIN

The conformational properties and elastic behaviors of protein-like single chains in the process of tensile elongation were investigated by means of Monte Carlo method. The sequences of protein-like single chains contain two types of residues: hydrophobic (H) and hydrophilic (P). The average conformations and thermodynamics statistical properties of protein-like single chains with various elongation ratio λ were calculated. It was found that the mean-square end-to-end distance r increases with elongation ratio,λ. The tensor eigenvalues ratio of : decreases with elongation ratio λ for short (HP)x protein-like polymers, however, the ratio of : increases with elongation ratioλ,especially for long (H)x sequence. Average energy per bond increases with elongation ratioλ, especially for(H)x protein-like single chains. Helmholtz free energy per bond also increases with elongation ratioλ. Elastic force (f), energy contribution to force (fU) and entropy contribution to force (fs) for different protein-like single chains were also calculated.These investigations may provide some insights into elastic behaviors of proteins.

竹红菌甲素光敏氧化反应机制

本文报道了在竹红菌甲素的光敏氧化反应中, 原初反应产生了^1O2、O2和H2O2,在一些还原性底物(5-羟基色氨酸、色氨酸、组氨酸、蛋氨酸和赖氨酸等)的存在下, 体系中形成的O2量大大增加。证明了体系中的^1O2是通过三重态的竹红菌甲素和基态氧进行能量传递形成的, O2是体系中的竹红菌甲素负离子自由基和基态氧进行单电子转移的结果, H2O2是体系中存在的竹红菌甲素二价负离子还原基态氧的产物。在一些底物存在下, 次级反应产生了.OH。我们也发现竹红菌甲素具有弱的抽氢能力而生成一些有机自由基, 这些有机自由基的形成促进了各种活泼态氧的相互转化, 因此我们认为竹红甲素的光敏氧化是各种活泼态氧和一些有机自由基综合反应的结果。     

Relationship Between Interfacial Adhesion and Viscosity of Cellulose Fiber Filled Polypropylene and Poly(ε-caprolactone): A Review

The relationship between interfacial adhesion and dynamic viscosity of regenerated cellulose fiber (CF) filled in poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and polypropylene (PP) matrix is compared. The rate of viscosity rise from its virgin polymer of the PCL/CF compounds shows higher than that of the PP/CF ones at the same CF loadings. The interfacial adhesion of the CF surface with the PCL matrix is better than with the PP due to polar characteristic of the PCL. Striking differences are observed in the PCL compounds. As the concentration of the particles increases, the crystalline temperature, the spherulite formation, the elongation modulus and the yield stress of the PCL/CF compounds are significantly higher than those of the PP/CF compounds. More spherulites are locally developed on the CF surface in the PCL/CF compounds than in the PP/CF ones. The higher rate of viscosity rise of the PCL/CF compounds than the PP/CF compounds is due to higher interfacial adhesion of the CF surface with the PCL than with the PP.     

Structural assessment of externally flexural strengthened reinforced concrete beam after repaired with polymer mixture

This study investigated the effectiveness of external strengthening technique. The experimental variables were the strengthening material and overlay materials using polymer mixtures. Beams considered in this study are the ones strengthened either with external steel plate or carbon fiber sheet (CFS) bonded to the overlay soffit or with reinforcing rebars in the overlay. An analytical method based on the nonlinear layered finite element method is used to simulate the load–deflection behavior of strengthened beam. The theoretically obtained load–deflection relationships and strains of the strengthened beams are compared to the corresponding experimental values. Efficiencies of the repairing techniques are evaluated by comparing the approximate measures on the cumulative slips. Parametric studies are then obtained using the developed model to investigate the effects of design variables on the overall flexural behavior of the strengthened beam. Simply supported beams under monotonically increasing symmetrical loads are considered exclusively.     

Interfacial Properties of Phosphate Glass Fiber/Poly(caprolactone) System Measured Using the Single Fiber Fragmentation Test

Phosphate glass fiber of the composition 20Na₂O–24MgO–16CaO–40P₂O₅ was produced using an in-house fiber drawing rig. The interfacial properties of the phosphate glass fiber/poly(caprolactone) (PCL) system were measured using the single fiber fragmentation test (SFFT). The system was calibrated using E-glass fibers and polypropylene system. This gave an interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of 4.1 MPa, which agrees well with other published data. The IFSS for the unsized (as drawn) phosphate glass fiber/PCL system was found to be 1.75 MPa. Fibers treated with 3-aminopropyl-triethoxy silane (APS) showed an IFSS of 3.82 MPa. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis of unsized and silane sized fibers established the presence of silane on the fiber surface. Degradation tests of the silane treated fiber/PCL samples were carried out in deionised water at 37°C and it was found that the IFSS values decreased over time. Four others silanes were also investigated but APS gave the highest IFSS values.     

Nanoindentation Experimental Approach and Numerical Simulation of Al/Cr Bilayer Films

The Al/Cr double-layer film structure samples (thickness, 1200 nm) were prepared by the magnetron sputtering method. To investigate the mechanical properties, the samples were measured by using a nanoindentation instrument. The test results showed the nonlinearity and different modes of the main mechanical properties by comparing the macro-scale structure samples with other samples of similar materials. Based on the test, the elastic modulus and hardness of thin film structures can be calculated by considering different loads to conduct multi-point indentations. Meanwhile, the relationships between the mechanical parameters can be investigated based on these Al/Cr double-layer film structure samples. To validate the test, numerical analysis was developed using a finite element method to simulate the loading and unloading process of indentation. The simulation results were compared with the results of experiments to illustrate the validity of both the test and simulation to a certain extent. The investigation builds not only an experimental basis for practical applications for future study, but also supplies a complementary means of verification for theoretical analysis.     

Repulsive Gravitation in the Kerr-Newman Field

It is shown that uncharged test particles, released from rest at infinity in the Kerr-Newman field, stop and rebound when the radial coordinate r takes the value r₀ = Q²/(2M). This expression corresponds to the position of a stationary source of the Kerr-Newman field found by the author. It represents the surface of a massive oblate ellipsoid of revolution undergoing rigid rotation. Besides, the magnitude of r₀ guarantees that no violation of causality occurs throughout spacetime. Although the test particles' angular momenta are always zero, they acquire a rotational motion as a consequence of the dragging of inertial frames.
