To address these challenges, this study develops a hybrid composite structure— polycrystalline powder(PCP) matrix(PCPM)—by strategically homogenizing 20 μm PCPs within a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix. Such a configuration enables the formation of densely packed PCP microstructures while maintaining electric conductivity and mechanical flexibility. In the single-photon regime, responsivity(R) and external quantum efficiency(EQE) decline by 50%, with concurrent 3–4-fold enhancements in the On/Off ratio and 12–16-fold improvements in specific detectivity(D), compared with those of SC counterparts. Notably, in the two-photon regime, R and EQE exhibit a 2–3-fold increase, and the On/Off ratio and D exhibit 12–16-fold improvements. The PCPM configuration enables the high-repetitionrate wafer-scale fabrication of active layers for imaging PDs and provides exceptional mechanical flexibility and self-recovery. These findings establish PCPMs as a scalable platform for next-generation perovskite wearable electronics.展开更多

文摘This work addresses optimality aspects related to composite laminates having layers with different orientations.RegressionNeuralNetworks can model the mechanical behavior of these laminates,specifically the stressstrain relationship.If this model has strong generalization ability,it can be coupled with a metaheuristic algorithm–the PSO algorithm used in this article–to address an optimization problem(OP)related to the orientations of composite laminates.To solve OPs,this paper proposes an optimization framework(OFW)that connects the two components,the optimal solution search mechanism and the RNN model.The OFW has two modules:the search mechanism(Adaptive Hybrid Topology PSO)and the Prediction and Computation Module(PCM).The PCM undertakes all the activities concerning the OP at hand:the stress-strain model,constraints checking,and computation of the objective function.Two case studies about the layers’orientations of laminated specimens are conducted to validate the proposed framework.The specimens belong to“Off-axis oriented specimens”and are subjects of two OPs.The algorithms for AHTPSO and for the two PCMs(one for each problem)are proposed and implemented by MATLAB scripts and functions.Simulations are carried out for different initial conditions.The solutions demonstrated that the OFW is effective and has a highly acceptable computational complexity.The limitation of using the OFWis the generalization ability of the RNN model or any other regression models.To harness the RNN model efficiently,it must have a very good generalization power.If this condition ismet,the OFWcan be integrated into any design process to make optimal choices of the layers’orientations.

文摘The TiB+TiC dual-reinforced B_(4)C/TC4 composite was in-situ fabricated via incorporating 0.5wt%B_(4)C reinforcement during the laser melting deposition process.Different heat treatments of annealing and solid solution were used to regulate the microstructure,mechanical properties,and corrosion properties of B_(4)C/TC4 composite.Results show that with the increase in temperature from 500℃to 800°C,partial lamellarα-Ti in the as-deposited sample is gradually transformed into equiaxedα-Ti,accompanied by the disappearance of basketweave microstructure.At 1100°C,a small portion of TiC phase suffers fusion.This composite exhibits the optimal combination of strength and plasticity after annealing at 500℃for 4 h followed by furnace cooling,which is attributed to the stress release effect and the refined basketweave microstructure.However,this composite shows a decline in corrosion resistance after various heat treatments due to grain coarsening and micro-galvanic corrosion.

文摘Single-crystal(SC) structures have long been regarded as the optimal configuration for metal halide perovskite photodetectors(PDs);however, their applications in large-area imaging and wearable electronics face limitations due to size constraints and mechanical inflexibility. To address these challenges, this study develops a hybrid composite structure— polycrystalline powder(PCP) matrix(PCPM)—by strategically homogenizing 20 μm PCPs within a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix. Such a configuration enables the formation of densely packed PCP microstructures while maintaining electric conductivity and mechanical flexibility. In the single-photon regime, responsivity(R) and external quantum efficiency(EQE) decline by 50%, with concurrent 3–4-fold enhancements in the On/Off ratio and 12–16-fold improvements in specific detectivity(D), compared with those of SC counterparts. Notably, in the two-photon regime, R and EQE exhibit a 2–3-fold increase, and the On/Off ratio and D exhibit 12–16-fold improvements. The PCPM configuration enables the high-repetitionrate wafer-scale fabrication of active layers for imaging PDs and provides exceptional mechanical flexibility and self-recovery. These findings establish PCPMs as a scalable platform for next-generation perovskite wearable electronics.
文摘In this study,using 3,5‑di(3′,5′‑dicarboxylphenyl)‑1H‑1,2,4‑triazole(H4L)as ligands,a gadolinia‑based organic framework complex{[GdNa(L)(H_(2)O)3]·2H_(2)O}_(n)(Gd‑Na‑MOF)was successfully designed and synthesized by hydrothermal method.The structure and properties were systematically characterized and tested by techniques such as single‑crystal X‑ray diffraction,powder X‑ray diffraction,thermogravimetric analysis,infrared spectroscopy,and fluorescence spectroscopy.The results indicate that this complex has a unique 3D structure,excellent thermal stability,and outstanding luminescent performance.Based on its luminescent properties,a polymer‑embedding method was employed to fabricate the Gd‑Na‑MOF into a flexible,washable composite fluorescent film,Gd‑Na‑MOF@PMMA/BMA(PMMA=polymethyl methacrylate,BMA=butyl methacrylate).This fluorescent film exhibited highly sensitive recognition capability for tyramine,with a low detection limit of 1.66μmol·L^(-1).It was used for the detection of tyramine in bananas,with a recovery rate of 96.92%‑100.26%.CCDC:2466949.

文摘Biochar and biochar composites are versatile materials that can be used in many applications.In this study,biochar was prepared from sawdust and combined with the yttrium iron garnet(YIG)nanocrystal to investigate the shielding effectiveness of the composite structure.Firstly,the effect of the pyrolysis temperature on the shielding effectiveness of biochar was investigated.Secondly,biochars combined with YIG nanocrystals with different contents and shielding effectiveness of the composites were investigated.The electromagnetic effectiveness of the samples was investigated within the X band(8-12 GHz).The findings indicate that biochar demonstrates enhanced absorption properties with elevated pyrolysis temperatures.Biochars demonstrated an approximate 40 d B shielding effectiveness,while YIG exhibited approximately 7 d B,corresponding to absorption at 8 GHz.However,the combination of biochar and YIG exhibited exceptional absorption,reaching 67.12 d B at 8 GHz.
文摘The increasing occurrence of corrosion-related damage in steel pipelines has led to the growing use of composite-based repair techniques as an efficient alternative to traditional replacement methods.Computer modeling and structural analysis were performed for the repair reinforcement of a steel pipeline with a composite bandage.A preliminary analysis of possible contact interaction schemes was implemented based on the theory of cylindrical shells,taking into account transverse shear deformations.The finite element method was used for a detailed study of the stress state of the composite bandage and the reinforced section of the pipeline.The limit state of the reinforced section was assessed based on the von Mises criterion for steel and the Tsai-Wu criterion for composites.The effectiveness of the repair was demonstrated on a pipeline whose wall thickness had decreased by 20%as a result of corrosion damage.At a nominal pressure of P=6 MPa,the maximum normal stress in the weakened area reached 381 MPa.The installation of a composite bandage reduced this stress to 312 MPa,making the repaired section virtually as strong as the undamaged pipeline.Due to the linearity of the problem,the results obtained can be easily used to find critical internal pressure values.

文摘To exploit the combined strengthening effects of nanotwins and carbon nanotubes(CNTs)in Cu matrix composites,the nanotwins with a width ranging from 3 to 30 nm were incorporated into the CNTs-reinforced Cu matrix composites using cryogenic rolling and optimizing the initial particle size of the raw Cu powders.The formation of nanotwins in the Cu matrix composite reinforced by only 0.2 wt.%CNTs is accompanied by the increased dislocation density and refined Cu grain size,resulting in much better strength−ductility synergy than the referenced composite without significant nanotwins formation.The analysis of strengthening and toughening mechanisms demonstrates that the strength increment mainly derives from grain refinement strengthening,dislocation strengthening,and nanotwin strengthening.The strength increment from the contribution of the nanotwins accounts for 19.9%of the overall strength increment for the composite.Meanwhile,the retention of good tensile ductility can be reasonably explained by the increased dislocation accommodation ability due to the formed nanotwins and the decreased induced dislocation proliferation.

文摘There is an urgent need to develop magnesium-matrix materials that exhibit both high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion to ensure compatibility with chips.This study aims to develop a Mg-Zn-Cu alloy with high thermal conductivity.Furthermore,it explores the preparation of AlN_(P)/Mg-Zn-Cu composites featuring low coefficients of thermal expansion.The stir casting method was utilized to fabricate the composites and an investigation was conducted to examine their microstructure and thermal properties.Results indicate that the addition of AlN_(P)reduces the thermal expansion coefficient while maintaining relatively high thermal conductivity.Specifically,the AlN_(P)/Mg-0.5Zn-0.5Cu composite with 30wt.%AlN_(P)achieves a thermal conductivity of 132.7 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1)and a thermal expansion coefficient of 18.5×10^(-6)K^(-1),rendering it suitable for electronic packaging applications where thermal management is critical.

文摘In this study,multilayer lamination welding was employed to prepare graphene/copper(Gr/Cu)composite billets from graphene-coated copper foils,followed by multi-pass cold drawing to produce Φ1 mm Gr/Cu composite wires.Microstructure and property analyses in both the cold-drawn and annealed states show that the incorporation of graphene significantly improves the ductility and electrical conductivity of the copper wire.After annealing at 350℃ for 30 minutes,the composite wire demonstrates a tensile strength of 270 MPa and an electrical conductivity of 102.74%IACS,both superior to those of pure copper wire under identical conditions.At 150℃,the electrical conductivity of the annealed composite wire reaches 72.60%IACS,notably higher than the 68.19%IACS of pure copper.The results suggest that graphene is uniformly distributed within the composite wire,with minimal impact on conductivity,while effectively refining the copper grain structure to enhance ductility.Moreover,graphene suppresses copper lattice vibrations at elevated temperatures,reducing the rate of conductivity degradation.

文摘Humanoid robots hold significant promise for social interaction and emotional companionship.However,their effectiveness hinges on the ability to convey nuanced and authentic emotions.Here,we presented a universal humanoid robot head with a facial kinematics model.Using a reinforcement learning framework guided by symmetry assessment,emotion decoupling,and MLLM authenticity evaluation,our system autonomously learns to generate adaptive facial expressions through dynamic landmark adjustments.By transferring the simulation training results to real-world environments,the robot can perform natural and expressive expressions.Another novel feature is the independent regulation of emotion intensity and expression magnitude across emotional categories,which enhances the ability to achieve culturally adaptive and socially resonant robotic expressions significantly.This research advances adaptive humanoid interaction,offering an easier and more efficient pathway toward culturally resonant and psychologically plausible robotic expressions.
