The mechanism for the formation of fiber-like arrangement of rein- forcing nanoparticles in Ag/SnO2 electrical contact material was also discussed. The as-prepared samples were char- acterized by means of scanning electron microscope （SEM）, optical microscope （OM）, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDX）, MHV2000 microhardness test, and double bridge tester. The analysis showed that the as-prepared Ag/SnO,, electrical contact material with fiber-like arrangement of reinforcing nanoparticles exhibits a high elongation of 24 %, a particularly low electrical resistivity of 2.08 μΩ. cm, and low arcing energy, and thus has considerable technical, economical and environmental benefits.展开更多

The technique is powerful in a way that it can directly correlate the atomic-scale microstructure of the carbon nanotube with its physical properties, providing a one-to-one correspondence in structure-property characterization Applications of the technique will be demonstrated on mechanical properties, the electron field emission and the ballistic quantum conductance in individual nanotubes.展开更多

This paper focuses on the theoretical analysis of the heat-swimming force operating on the fiber-like particle in nonconformity temperature fluid, and the approximate calculating formula has been proposed. It is indicated that the heat- swimming force on the fiber-like particle is in direct proportion to thetemperature gradient of fluid, but it has opposite direction and that it is restrained by the particle volume, the fluid viscosity and density rather than by the particle density.展开更多
