The cure cycle has a significant effect on the quality of the finished part. The traditional cure cycle based on empirical approach could not ensure the quality of cured products because of unstabilized performance, high cost of production and low efficiency. As complex intelligent manufacturing systems are developed increasingly in industry, the necessity of more user friendly operation system is becoming progressively importance for their utilization and market value. This paper introduces some of the recent technological advances in the intelligent manufacturing systems that will influence the design and development of relevant industry.展开更多

X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analysis techniques were used to characterize the samples. It was observed that a layer of nano-crystalline ZnO with the wurtzite hexagonal crystal structure was uniformly coated on the nanotube surfaces with good adhesion, which resulted in the formation of a novel ZnO-nanotuhe nano composite. In this work, the carbon nanotubes decorated by metal oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple chemical-solution route which is suitable for the large-scale production with low cost.展开更多

The degradation ratio curves of methyl orange in water phase show that the capability for degradating organic molecules of CdS/CNTs is obviously higher than that of separated CdS. The degradation ca-pability enhances as the increase of the amount of net CdS catalyst,the ratio of carbon nanotubes to CdS,and the area of the template,and is influenced by the pH value and the temperature of aqueous solution. These results suggest that the photocatalyst of CdS/CNTs is very suitable for potential applications in organic waste removal from water.展开更多
