文摘Six new lanthanide complexes:[Ln(3,4-DEOBA)3(4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy)]2·2C_(2)H_(5)OH,[Ln=Dy(1),Eu(2),Tb(3),Sm(4),Ho(5),Gd(6);3,4-DEOBA-=3,4-diethoxybenzoate,4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine]were successfully synthesized by the volatilization of the solution at room temperature.The crystal structures of six complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technology.The results showed that the complexes all have a binuclear structure,and the structures contain free ethanol molecules.Moreover,the coordination number of the central metal of each structural unit is eight.Adjacent structural units interact with each other through hydrogen bonds and further expand to form 1D chain-like and 2D planar structures.After conducting a systematic study on the luminescence properties of complexes 1-4,their emission and excitation spectra were obtained.Experimental results indicated that the fluorescence lifetimes of complexes 2 and 3 were 0.807 and 0.845 ms,respectively.The emission spectral data of complexes 1-4 were imported into the CIE chromaticity coordinate system,and their corre sponding luminescent regions cover the yellow light,red light,green light,and orange-red light bands,respectively.Within the temperature range of 299.15-1300 K,the thermal decomposition processes of the six complexes were comprehensively analyzed by using TG-DSC/FTIR/MS technology.The hypothesis of the gradual loss of ligand groups during the decomposition process was verified by detecting the escaped gas,3D infrared spectroscopy,and ion fragment information detected by mass spectrometry.The specific decomposition path is as follows:firstly,free ethanol molecules and neutral ligands are removed,and finally,acidic ligands are released;the final product is the corresponding metal oxide.CCDC:2430420,1;2430422,2;2430419,3;2430424,4;2430421,5;2430423,6.

文摘Copper manufactured by laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)process typically exhibits poor strength-ductility coordination,and the addition of strengthening phases is an effective way to address this issue.To explore the effects of strengthening phases on Cu,Cu-carbon nanotubes(CNTs)composites were prepared using LPBF technique with Cu-CNTs mixed powder as the matrix.The formability,microstructure,mechanical properties,electrical conductivity,and thermal properties were studied.The result shows that the prepared composites have high relative density.The addition of CNTs results in inhomogeneous equiaxed grains at the edges of the molten pool and columnar grains at the center.Compared with pure copper,the overall mechanical properties of the composite are improved:tensile strength increases by 52.8%and elongation increases by 146.4%;the electrical and thermal properties are also enhanced:thermal conductivity increases by 10.8%and electrical conductivity increases by 12.7%.

文摘Laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)is highly suitable for forming 18Ni300 mold steel,thanks to its excellent capability in manufacturing complex shapes and outstanding capacity for regulating microstructures.It is widely used in fields such as injection molding,die casting,and stamping dies.Adding reinforcing particles into steel is an effective means to improve its performance.Nb/18Ni300 composites were fabricated by LPBF using two kinds of Nb powders with different particle sizes,and their microstructures and properties were studied.The results show that the unmelted Nb particles are uniformly distributed in the 18Ni300 matrix and the grains are refined,which is particularly pronounced with fine Nb particles.In addition,element diffusion occurs between the particles and the matrix.The main phases of the base alloy are α-Fe and a small amount of γ-Fe.With the addition of Nb,part of the α-Fe is transformed into γ-Fe,and unmelted Nb phases appear.The addition of Nb also enhances the hardness and wear resistance of the composites but slightly reduces their tensile properties.After aging treatment,the molten pools and grain boundaries become blurred,grains are further refined,and the interfaces around the particles are thinned.The aging treatment also promotes the formation of reverted austenite.The hardness,ultimate tensile strength,and volumetric wear rate of the base alloy reach 51.9 HRC,1704 MPa,and 17.8×10^(-6) mm^(3)/(N·m),respectively.In contrast,the sample added with fine Nb particles has the highest hardness(56.1 HRC),ultimate tensile strength(1892 MPa)and yield strength(1842 MPa),and the volume wear rate of the sample added with coarse Nb particles is reduced by 90%to 1.7×10^(-6) mm^(3)/(N·m).

文摘In this research work,sol-gel technique was employed to prepare the strontium based spinel ferrite nanoparticles(SrFe_(2)O_(4))with different ratios of terbium(Tb).Different characterization techniques were used to investigate the structural,morphological,dielectric and magnetic properties of the prepared samples.X-ray diffraction(XRD)result suggests that face-centered cube spinel nanocrystalline structure is formed.Crystallite size of the SrFe_(2)O_(4)decreases with rising of Tb ratio.The morphology,shape and size of the SrFe_(2)O_(4)were examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)analysis and results reveal inhomogeneous distributions of the nanostructures with high agglomeration.The electrical resistivity of the SrFe_(2)O_(4)increases with rising of Tb ratio,which is confirmed from the cyclic voltammetry.It is observed that dielectric constant of all the samples decreases with the increasing frequency range.It is determined that the dielectric constants of the spinel ferrites are frequency dependent and decrease with increasing the frequency of applied electric field.The magnetic behavior of SrFe_(2)O_(4)with different ratios of Tb was studied and it is found that the saturation magnetization values of samples decrease with increase in the substitution of Tb^(3+)at octahedral sites for Fe^(3+).This decrease in the values of M_(s) is also attributed to spin at surface of nanoparticles.

文摘Magnesium and its compounds are recognized as favorable materials for structural uses,primarily due to their lightweight nature and remarkable specific strength.This research employed first-principles methodologies to investigate how pressure affects the crystal structure along with the elastic and thermodynamic characteristics of MgXY_(2)(X=Zn,Cd,and Y=Ag,Au,Cu)compounds.All analyses were implemented via the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof variant of the Generalized Gradient Approximation alongside a plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential approach.The findings on the elastic constants indicated that these MgXY_(2)compounds have maintained their stability at pressures up to 500 kBar.These constants informed detailed assessments of properties like elastic modulus,Poisson’s ratio,Vickers hardness,and material anisotropy.The Quantum Espresso software was utilized to calculate melting points,Debye temperature,and minimum thermal conductivity values.A temperature range spanning from 0 to 800 K allowed for an evaluation of vibrational energy,free energy,entropy,and specific heat capacity metrics.The anticipated physical attributes suggest significant potential for these magnesium compounds in biomedical fields.

文摘Interlayer antiferromagnetic coupling,small magnetic anisotropy,and low air stability of the intrinsic magnetic topological insulator MnBi_(2)Te_(4)have been critical bottlenecks to the future application of the quantum anomalous Hall efect(QAHE)at zero magnetic feld.In this study,we propose a scheme to utilize capped sliding van der Waals materials to efectively modulate the magnetic and topological properties of MnBi_(2)Te_(4).Our results demonstrate that the h-BN/MnBi_(2)Te_(4)/h-BN heterostructure,constructed by sliding ferroelectric h-BN bilayer and MnBi_(2)Te_(4),not only realizes a transition from interlayer antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic coupling but also signifcantly enhances the out-of-plane magnetism and air stability of MnBi_(2)Te_(4).Moreover,the above magnetic properties can be further improved by tuning the interlayer distance between h-BN and MnBi_(2)Te_(4).Additionally,the obtained band structures and topological properties clearly support that the h-BN/MnBi_(2)Te_(4)/hBN heterostructure can harbor the QAHE with a Chern number of C=1.This work provides a new and nonvolatile modulation approach to achieve high-temperature and high-precision QAHE at zero magnetic feld.
文摘This review aims to identify the assets and limitations of Dabema(Piptadeniastrum africanum)as a sustainable alternative to traditional timber species for furniture and construction applications.Dabema is characterized by its high density and dimensional stability,meeting ASTM(American Society for Testing and Materials)standards for mechanical strength,which is essential for promoting its use.However,its limited availability in trade and ingrained habits of use are obstacles to its widespread commercialization.In addition,thermal and oleothermal treatments have shown great potential for improving the characteristics of this wood,although they require ongoing optimization and rigorous environmental assessment.Consequently,increased awareness of the benefits of Dabema is decisive to encourage its sustainable adoption in modern economies.This could help to diversify forest resources and encourage more sustainable building practices,taking advantage of Dabema’s unique properties while mitigating environmental sustainability concerns.

文摘Edible mushroom proteins are the promising ones with the advantages of complete essential amino acid profile and multiple functional activities.To reinforce their applications in functional food development,this study comprehensively evaluated the physicochemical and functional properties of protein isolates from 5 mushroom species,i.e.,Pleurotus eryngii(PEP),Pleurotus ostreatus(POP),Lentinula edodes(LEP),Flammulina velutipes(FVP)and Hypsizygus marmoreus(HMP).Results showed that PEP,LEP,FVP,POP and HMP exhibited better protein solubility(PS),water holding capacity(WHC),emulsification activity index(EAI),and foaming capacity(FC)than those of soybean protein and pea protein isolates(PPI).PEP(51.95%)and POP(49.15%)had a higher amount ofβ-sheet structure.Principal component analysis and correlation analysis showed that the seven proteins could be divided into 3 clusters,and WHC,EAI and FC were significantly positively correlated with PS andβ-sheet.The least gelation concentration of PEP(16%)and FVP(16%)at p H 6.0 and 7.0 was similar to PPI,and PEP showed better hardness,springiness and rheological properties than other proteins gels.Overall,our study showed that 5 edible mushroom proteins possessed excellent functionalities(except for gelling capacity),which provided novel insights on unexploited sources of mushroom proteins used as protein-based foods in the food industry.

文摘Peanut varieties are diverse globally,with their characters and nutrition determining the product quality.However,the comparative analysis and statistical analysis of key quality indicators for peanut kernels across the world remains relatively limited,impeding the comprehensive evaluation of peanut quality and hindering the industry development on a global scale.This study aimed to compare and analyze the apparent morphology,microstructure,single-cell structure,engineering and mechanical properties,as well as major nutrient contents of peanut kernels from 10 different cultivars representing major peanut-producing countries.The surface and cross-section microstructure of the peanut kernels exhibited a dense“blocky”appearance with a distinct cellular structure.The lipid droplets were predominantly spherical with a regular distribution within the cells.The single-cell structure of the kernels from these 10 peanut cultivars demonstrated varying morphologies and dimensions,which exhibited correlations with their mechanical and engineering properties.Furthermore,the mass loss versus temperature profiles of the peanut kernels revealed five distinct stages,corresponding to moisture loss,volatile loss,protein denaturation,and the degradation of various biomacromolecules.Variations were also observed in the lipid,protein,and sucrose contents,texture,bulk density,true density,porosity,geometric mean diameter,and sphericity among the diferent peanut varieties.This study establishes relationships and correlations among microstructure,engineering properties,and nutritional composition of commonly grown peanut varieties in major peanut-processing countries.The findings provide valuable insights into peanut quality evaluation,empowering the peanut industry to enhance their processing and product development efforts.

文摘The mechanical and thermodynamic properties of W-Ti alloys(including W_(15)Ti_(1),W_(14)Ti_(2),W_(12)Ti_(4) and W_(8)Ti_(8) alloys)were investigated by the first-principles approach based on density functional theory.The results indicate that W-Ti alloys except W_(8)Ti_(8) are thermodynamically stable.The modulus and hardness of W-Ti alloys are smaller than those of pure tungsten and gradually decrease with increasing Ti concentration.However,their B/G ratios and Poisson's ratios exceed those of pure tungsten,suggesting that the introduction of Ti decreases the mechanical strength while enhancing the ductility of W-Ti alloys.The thermal expansion coefficients for W-Ti alloys all surpass those of pure tungsten,indicating that the introduction of titanium exacerbates the thermal expansion behavior of W-Ti alloys.Nevertheless,elevated pressure has the capacity to suppress the thermal expansion tendencies in titanium-doped tungsten alloys.This study offers theoretical insights for the design of nuclear materials by exploring the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of W-Ti alloys.
文摘In this paper,the effect of sodium laurate(SL)on the properties of sodium lauroyl glutamate(SLG),such as surface activity,foam,wetting,emulsification,and resistance to hard water,has been systematically investigated.The results showed that the critical micelle concentration(cmc)of SLG was 0.30 mmol/L,and the surface tension at the cmc(γcmc)was 34.95 mN/m.With the increase of SL content,the efficiency of SLG solution in reducing the surface tension was decreased.When the SL content was increased,there was no significant change in the foaming ability and foam stability of SLG solutions.The increase of SL content improved both the emulsification and wettability of SLG,but reduced its water resistance.

文摘Graphene nanoplatelets(GNPs)have attracted tremendous interest due to their unique properties and bonding capabilities.This study focuses on the effect of GNP dispersion on the mechanical,thermal,and morphological behavior of GNP/epoxy nanocomposites.This study aims to understand how the dispersion of GNPs affects the properties of epoxy nanocomposite and to identify the best dispersion approach for improving mechanical performance.A solvent mixing technique that includes mechanical stirring and ultrasonication was used for producing the nanocomposites.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to investigate the interaction between GNPs and the epoxy matrix.The measurements of density and moisture content were used to confirm that GNPs were successfully incorporated into the nanocomposite.The findings showed that GNPs are successfully dispersed in the epoxy matrix by combining mechanical stirring and ultrasonication in a single step,producing well-dispersed nanocomposites with improved mechanical properties.Particularly,the nanocomposites at a low GNP loading of 0.1 wt%,demonstrate superior mechanical strength,as shown by increased tensile properties,including improved Young's modulus(1.86 GPa),strength(57.31 MPa),and elongation at break(4.98).The nanocomposite with 0.25 wt%GNP loading performs better,according to the viscoelastic analysis and flexural properties(113.18 MPa).Except for the nanocomposite with a 0.5 wt%GNP loading,which has a higher thermal breakdown temperature,the thermal characteristics do not significantly alter.The effective dispersion of GNPs in the epoxy matrix and low agglomeration is confirmed by the morphological characterization.The findings help with filler selection and identifying the best dispersion approach,which improves mechanical performance.The effective integration of GNPs and their interaction with the epoxy matrix provides the doorway for additional investigation and the development of sophisticated nanocomposites.In fields like aerospace,automotive,and electronics where higher mechanical performance and functionality are required,GNPs'improved mechanical properties and successful dispersion present exciting potential.
