In this respect, zwitterionic hydrogels have emerged asideal material candidates for breaking through the above dilemma. The mechanical properties of most reported zwitterionichydrogels, however, are relatively poor, significantly restricting their use under load-bearing conditions. Traditional improve-ment approaches often involve complex preparation processes, making large-scale production challenging. Additionally,zwitterionic hydrogels prepared with chemical crosslinkers are typically fragile and prone to irreversible deformation underlarge strains, resulting in the slow recovery of structure and function. To fundamentally enhance the mechanical properties ofpure zwitterionic hydrogels, the most effective approach is the regulation of the chemical structure of zwitterionic monomersthrough a targeted design strategy. This study employed a novel zwitterionic monomer carboxybetaine urethane acrylate(CBUTA), which contained one urethane group and one carboxybetaine group on its side chain. Through the direct polym-erization of ultrahigh concentration monomer solutions without adding any chemical crosslinker, we successfully developedpure zwitterionic supramolecular hydrogels with significantly enhanced mechanical properties, self-adhesive behavior, andantifreezing performance. Most importantly, the resultant zwitterionic hydrogels exhibited high tensile strength and tough-ness and displayed ultralow hysteresis under strain conditions up to 1100%. This outstanding performance was attributedto the unique liquid–liquid phase separation phenomenon induced by the ultrahigh concentration of CBUTA monomers inan aqueous solution, as well as the enhanced polymer chain entanglement and the strong hydrogen bonds between urethanegroups on the side chains. The potential application of hydrogels in strain sensors and high-performance triboelectric nano-generators was further explored. Overall, this work provides a promising strategy for developing pure zwitterionic hydrogelsfor flexible strain sensors and self-powered electronic devices.展开更多

Herein, employing this strategy, we successfully obtain two highly coplanar birefringent crystals, FAHC_(2)O_(4) and FAH_(2)C_(3)N_(3)S_(3) (FA+: CH5N2, for-mamidinium). FAHC_(2)O_(4) shows a wide bandgap (4.20 eV), while FAH_(2)C_(3)N_(3)S_(3) exhibits a narrower bandgap (2.96 eV) due to the involvement of sulfur atom. Both crystals display notable birefringence in their respective material classes: 0.275@546 nm and 0.504@546 nm, respectively. X-ray crystallography and computational studies attribute the pronounced birefringence to their π-conjugated moieties and their near-coplanar configu-rations. Comparative analysis of FAHC_(2)O_(4) and FAH_(2)C_(3)N_(3)S_(3) further establishes that the hydrogen bond strength directly influences the molecular coplanarity degree. These findings provide new insights for applying the donor-acceptor hydrogen bonding strategy in the rational design of high-performance birefringent materials.展开更多

文摘In this paper,the work hardening and softening behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets by hard plate accumulative roll bonding(HP-ARB)process in a specific temperature range was studied for the first time,and the cyclic stress relaxation test,EBSD,TEM and other characterization methods were used.When the rolling temperature is 350℃,the grain size of magnesium sheets is refined to 4.32(±0.36)μm on average,and it shows an excellent combination of strength and plasticity.The tensile strength reaches 307(±8.52)MPa and the elongation is 12.73(±0.84)%.At this time,the curve of work hardening rate decreases smoothly and the degree of hardening is the lowest,and the amplitude of stress drop △σ_(p) in work softening test is the smallest with the increase of cycle times,which shows that the well coordination between work hardening and softening behavior has been achieved.Research has found that the combined effect of grain boundary strengthening and fine grain strengthening enhances the yield and tensile strength of magnesium sheets after three passes HP-ARB process at 350℃.This is attributed to the high degree of dislocation slip opening in the pyramidal surfaceand<c+a>,which not only coordinates the c-axis strain of the entire grain,but also promotes the slip transfer of dislocations in the fine-grained region,significantly improving the elongation of the sheets.This study provides a new idea for the forming and manufacturing of high performance magnesium alloy sheets.

文摘This study investigates the bond performance at the interfacial region shared by Ultra-High Performance Concrete(UHPC)and steel tubes through push-out tests.This study examines how changes in steel fiber volumetric ratio and thickness of steel tube influence the bond strength characteristics.The results show that as the enhancement of the steel tube wall thickness,the ultimate bond strength at the interface improves significantly,whereas the initial bond strength exhibits only slight variations.The influence of steel fiber volumetric ratio presents a nonlinear trend,with initial bond strength decreasing at low fiber content and increasing significantly as fiber content rises.Additionally,finite element(FE)simulations were applied to replicate the experimental conditions,and the outcomes showed strong correlation with the experimental data,confirming the exactitude of the FE model in predicting the bond behavior at the UHPC-Steel interface.These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing the design of UHPC-Filled steel tubes in high-performance structure.

文摘Removing H_(2)S and CO_(2)is of great significance for natural gas purification.With excellent gas affinity and tunable structure,ionic liquids(ILs) have been regarded as nontrivial candidates for fabricating polymer-based membranes.Herein,we firstly reported the incorporation of protic ILs (PILs) having ether-rich and carboxylate sites (ECPILs) into poly(ether-block-amide)(Pebax) matrix for efficient separation H_(2)S and CO_(2)from CH_(4).Notably,the optimal permeability of H_(2)S reaches up to 4310 Barrer (40C,0.50 bar) in Pebax/ECPIL membranes,along with H_(2)S/CH_(4)and (H_(2)StCO_(2))/CH_(4)selectivity of 97.7 and 112.3,respectively.These values are increased by 1125%,160.8%and 145.9%compared to those in neat Pebax membrane.Additionally,the solubility and diffusion coefficients of the gases were measured,demonstrating that ECPIL can simultaneously strengthen the dissolution and diffusion of H_(2)S and CO_(2),thus elevating the permeability and permselectivity.By using quantum chemical calculations and FT-IR spectroscopy,the highly reversible multi-site hydrogen bonding interaction between ECPILs and H_(2)S was revealed,which is responsible for the fast permeation of H_(2)S and good selectivity.Furthermore,H_(2)S/CO_(2)/CH_(4)(3/3/94 mol/mol) ternary mixed gas can be efficiently and stably separated by Pebax/ECPIL membrane for at least 100 h.Overall,this work not only illustrates that PILs with ether-rich and carboxylate hydrogen bonding sites are outstanding materials for simultaneous removal of H_(2)S and CO_(2),but may also provide a novel insight into the design of membrane materials for natural gas upgrading.

文摘In large-scaleWireless Rechargeable SensorNetworks(WRSN),traditional forward routingmechanisms often lead to reduced energy efficiency.To address this issue,this paper proposes a WRSN node energy optimization algorithm based on regional partitioning and inter-layer routing.The algorithm employs a dynamic clustering radius method and the K-means clustering algorithm to dynamically partition the WRSN area.Then,the cluster head nodes in the outermost layer select an appropriate layer from the next relay routing region and designate it as the relay layer for data transmission.Relay nodes are selected layer by layer,starting from the outermost cluster heads.Finally,the inter-layer routing mechanism is integrated with regional partitioning and clustering methods to develop the WRSN energy optimization algorithm.To further optimize the algorithm’s performance,we conduct parameter optimization experiments on the relay routing selection function,cluster head rotation energy threshold,and inter-layer relay structure selection,ensuring the best configurations for energy efficiency and network lifespan.Based on these optimizations,simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms traditional forward routing,K-CHRA,and K-CLP algorithms in terms of node mortality rate and energy consumption,extending the number of rounds to 50%node death by 11.9%,19.3%,and 8.3%in a 500-node network,respectively.

文摘Surface tension-induced shrinkage of heterogeneously bonded interfaces is a key factor in limiting the performance of nanostructures.Herein,we demonstrate a laser-induced thermo-compression bonding technology to suppress surface tension-induced shrinkage of Cu-Au bonded interface.A focused laser beam is used to apply localized heating and scattering force to the exposed Cu nanowire.The laser-induced scattering force and the heating can be adjusted by regulating the exposure intensity.When the ratio of scattering forces to the gravity of the exposed nanowire reaches 3.6×10^(3),the molten Cu nanowire is compressed into flattened shape rather than shrinking into nanosphere by the surface tension.As a result,the Cu-Au bonding interface is broadened fourfold by the scattering force,leading to a reduction in contact resistance of approximately 56%.This noncontact thermo-compression bonding technology provides significant possibilities for the interconnect packaging and integration of nanodevices.

文摘AZ31/Al/Ta composites were prepared using the vacuum hot compression bonding(VHCB)method.The effect of hot compressing temperature on the interface microstructure evolution,phase constitution,and shear strength at the interface was investigated.Moreover,the interface bonding mechanisms of the AZ31/Al/Ta composites during the VHCB process were explored.The results demonstrate that as the VHCB temperature increases,the phase composition of the interface between Mg and Al changes from the Mg-Al brittle intermetallic compounds(Al_(12)Mg_(17)and Al_(3)Mg_(2))to the Al-Mg solid solution.Meanwhile,the width of the Al/Ta interface diffusion layer at 450℃increases compared to that at 400℃.The shear strengths are 24 and 46 MPa at 400 and 450℃,respectively.The interfacial bonding mechanism of AZ31/Al/Ta composites involves the coexistence of diffusion and mechanical meshing.Avoiding the formation of brittle phases at the interface can significantly improve interfacial bonding strength.

文摘Due to its superior nanoscale properties,cobalt(Co)is highly desirable for ultrahigh-density 3D integration into materials through metal/dielectric hybrid bonding.However,this process is very challenging through Co/SiO_(2)hybrid bonding,as very hydrophilic SiO_(2)surfaces are needed for bonding during dehydration reactions and oxidation of the Co surfaces must be avoided.Additionally,the substantial coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between the robust capping layers(Co and SiO_(2)layers)necessitates hybrid bonding with minimal thermal input and compression.In this study,we introduce a ternary plasma activation strategy employing an Ar/NH_(3)/H_(2)O gas mixture to facilitate Co/SiO_(2)hybrid bonding at temperatures as low as~200℃,which is markedly lower than the melting point of Co(~1500℃).Intriguingly,non-oxide metallization at the Co-Co interface can be realized without the hindrance of a bonding barrier,thereby reducing the electrical resistance by over 40%and compression force requirements.Moreover,the enhancement in the SiO_(2)surface energy through active group terminations fosters extensive interfacial hydration and strengthens the mechanical properties.This research paves the way for fine-tuning bonding surfaces using a material-selective strategy which should advance metal/dielectric hybrid bonding for future integration applications.
文摘Surface chemistry plays a critical role in the fields of electrochemistry,heterogeneous catalysis,adsorption,etc.[1–4].The representative D-band center theory reported through Hammer and Nørskov in surface chemistry has been widely used in early studies to predict adsorption strength[5,6].Generally,the adsorption strength of active sites correlates inversely with the downward shift of the D-band center(εd)relative to the Fermi level,as lower-energy positioning increases anti-bonding orbital occupancy,weakening surface interactions(Fig.1(a)).

文摘Interfacial evolution and bonding mechanism of reduced activation ferritic/martensitic(RAFM)steel were systematically investigated through a series of hot compression tests conducted at various strains(0.15-0.8),strain rates(0.001-1 s^(-1)),and temperatures(950-1050℃).Interfacial microstructural analysis revealed that plastic deformation of surface asperities effectively removes interfacial voids,and the evolution of dynamic recrystallization(DRX)aids in achieving a joint characterized by homogeneously refined microstructure and adequate interfacial grain boundary(IGB)migration.Electron backscattered diffraction analysis demonstrated that the continuous dynamic recrystallization,characterized by progressive subgrain rotation,is the prevailing DRX nucleation mechanism in RAFM steel during hot compression bonding.During DRX evolution,emerging DRX grains in the interfacial region expand into adjacent areas,transforming T-type triple junction grain boundaries into equal form,and resulting in a serrated and intricate interface.Elevated temperatures and strains,coupled with reduced strain rates,augment DRX grain nucleation and IGB migration,thus enhancing RAFM joint quality with regard to the interface bonding ratio and the interface migration ratio.

文摘The donor-acceptor hydrogen bonding strategy has been proposed to enforce coplanar packing of anisotropic π-conjugated units, thereby maximizing the material's achievable birefringence. Herein, employing this strategy, we successfully obtain two highly coplanar birefringent crystals, FAHC_(2)O_(4) and FAH_(2)C_(3)N_(3)S_(3) (FA+: CH5N2, for-mamidinium). FAHC_(2)O_(4) shows a wide bandgap (4.20 eV), while FAH_(2)C_(3)N_(3)S_(3) exhibits a narrower bandgap (2.96 eV) due to the involvement of sulfur atom. Both crystals display notable birefringence in their respective material classes: 0.275@546 nm and 0.504@546 nm, respectively. X-ray crystallography and computational studies attribute the pronounced birefringence to their π-conjugated moieties and their near-coplanar configu-rations. Comparative analysis of FAHC_(2)O_(4) and FAH_(2)C_(3)N_(3)S_(3) further establishes that the hydrogen bond strength directly influences the molecular coplanarity degree. These findings provide new insights for applying the donor-acceptor hydrogen bonding strategy in the rational design of high-performance birefringent materials.

文摘Bonding quality at the interface of solid propellant grains is crucial for the reliability and safety of solid rocket motors.Although bonding reliability is influenced by numerous factors,the lack of quantitative characterization of interface debonding mechanisms and the challenge of identifying key factors have made precise control of process variables difficult,resulting in unpredictable failure risks.This paper presents an improved fuzzy failure probability evaluation method that combines fuzzy fault tree analysis with expert knowledge,transforming process data into fuzzy failure probability to accurately assess debonding probabilities.The predictive model is constructed through a general regression neural network and optimized using the particle swarm optimization algorithm.Sensitivity analysis is conducted to identify key decision variables,including normal force,grain rotation speed,and adhesive weight,which are verified experimentally.Compared with classical models,the maximum error margin of the constructed reliability prediction model is only 0.02%,and it has high stability.The experimental results indicate that the main factors affecting debonding are processing roughness and coating uniformity.Controlling the key decision variable as the median resulted in a maximum increase of 200.7%in bonding strength.The feasibility of the improved method has been verified,confirming that identifying key decision variables has the ability to improve bonding reliability.The proposed method simplifies the evaluation of propellant interface bonding reliability under complex conditions by quantifying the relationship between process parameters and failure risk,enabling targeted management of key decision variables.
文摘This paper examines the role of traumatic bonding in Anita Brookner’s novel Providence.Through the perspective of traumatic bonding theory,this paper explores the true nature of the relationship between Kitty Maule and Maurice Bishop.The paper analyzes the intermittent cycles of affection and neglect that characterize their interactions,highlighting how Bishop’s emotional detachment and sporadic gestures of warmth create a power imbalance that traps Kitty in a cycle of idealization and disillusionment.Drawing on the work of Dutton and Painter(1981)on traumatic bonding,the paper explores how Kitty’s emotional dependence on Maurice mirrors the patterns found in emotionally abusive relationships,revealing how the traumatic bond between Kitty and Bishop shapes her journey toward self-growth.

文摘This study focused on the various surface treatments of grinding,Na OH etching,HCl pickling,micro-arc oxidation and anodic oxidation to strengthen adhesive bonding joint of Aluminum(Al)substrate and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics(CFRP).Different surface conditions were created by these treatments and simple Resin Pre-Coating(RPC)technique was further used to reduce the potential void defects at the root of those micro-cavities.Carbon Nanotubes(CNTs)were guided into the etched micro-cavities to construct quasi-Z-directional fiber bridging and form the“CNT-reinforced epoxy-pins”.The surface performance testing results imply that anodic oxidation of Al substrate created relatively even and continuous channels with higher hardness and better wettability among these treatments,which could provide quasi-vertical spaces for containing epoxy adhesive or CNTs.The single lap shear test results show combined treatments of anodic oxidation and upgraded RPC with CNTs technique on Al substrate yielded the highest bonding strength of 21.8 MPa(up to 243.3% greater than base strength).The constructed through-the-thickness“epoxy-pins”or“CNT-reinforced epoxy-pins”contributed to failure modes changing from complete debonding failure of Al substrate to peeled-off shallow fiber or delamination failure of CFRP panel.The combined treatments could be utilized to manufacture high-performance Al-CFRP composites for aviation industry application.

文摘Layered rare-earth metal oxides,harnessing the dual properties of oxides and two-dimensional layered materials,exhibit remarkable thermal stability and quantum confinement effects.Therefore,this work adopts the first-principles calculation combined with the Boltzmann transport theory to predict the thermoelectric properties of NdZnSbO compound.The coexistence of weak interlayer van der Waals interactions,robust intralayer ionic bonding,and partial covalent bonding leads to remarkable bonding heterogeneity,which engenders pronounced phonon scattering and imposes constraints on thermal transport along the out-of-plane direction.The weakened chemical bonds induced by the antibonding states,together with the rattling-like behavior of the Zn atom,culminate in the profound anharmonicity in the layered NdZnSbO compound.The weakening bond and heavy element contribute to the softness of phonon modes,which significantly diminishes the phonon group velocity.The redistribution-dominated four-phonon scattering process spans a large optical gap,which effectively reduces the lattice thermal conductivity.The NdZnSbO compound exhibits direct semiconductor characteristic with a bandgap of 0.73 e V by adopting the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof(HSE06)functional in combination with spin–orbit coupling(SOC)effect.The multi-valley feature of NdZnSbO compound augur favorably for band degeneracy,thus amplifying the power factor.Consequently,an optimal figure-of-merit(ZT)of 3.40 at 900 K is achieved for the n-type NdZnSbO compound.The present study delves deeply insights into the origins for the low thermal conductivity of NdZnSbO compound and proposes an optimization scheme to enhance overall thermoelectric performance.

文摘Dye-based color films are increasingly considered as viable alternatives to pigment-based color films in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS) image sensors.Herein,a series of azo dyes utilizing 5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-(2-phenylhydrazono)-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one as the coupling component and aromatic amines with various electron-withdrawing groups(NO_(2),CN,Br) as diazo components were designed and synthesized.The presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom on the N-H group and the oxygen atom of the C=O group of the hydrazo structure facilitates the formation of a stable six-membered ring.Additionally,the electron-withdrawing groups in the diazo component further stabilize this hydrogen-bonded structure.As a result,these azo dyes(P-2,P-3,P-4,P-5)exhibit not only excellent light stability but also ultra-highly thermal stability(T_(d)> 260℃).Therein,the synthesized dyes P-2 and P-3 with great bright yellow color(~400 nm),proper solubility(~6.00g/100 g)were selected to make for color films.And their dye-based color films displayed ultra-highly thermal and light stability(color difference ΔE<3).Notably,the increased planarity of the molecular structure by hydrogen bonding for the novel dyes ensures a balance between high transmittance(>90%) in the 550-780 nm wavelength range and the solvent resistance of the dye-based color films.This work contributes to the advancement of next-generation smart CMOS devices and offers valuable insights into the design of azo dyes for applications in the field of organic electronics.
