文摘To address the challenges of complex metallic film coating processes and low integration in single-parameter detection for existing photonic crystal fiber surface plasmon resonance(PCF-SPR)sensors,a dual-parameter sensor based on gold nanowire-integrated bias-core PCF-SPR is proposed.Unlike conventional in-hole coatings or metallic film structures,the gold nanowires are directly attached to the fiber cladding via chemical vapor deposition(CVD),eliminating uneven coating issues and significantly simplifying fabrica-tion.By optimizing the asymmetric bias-core fiber structure and leveraging the strong localized field en-hancement of gold nanowires,the sensor achieves high-sensitivity synchronous detection of temperature(25−60℃)and refractive index(1.31−1.40)in dual-polarization modes.The simulation results demonstrate that the x-polarization mode can achieve 1.31−1.40 refractive index detection with maximum wavelength sensitivity and amplitude sensitivity of 14800 nm/RIU and−1724.25 RIU^(−1),and maximum refractive index resolution of 6.75×10^(−6)RIU.The y-polarization mode achieves refractive index detection range of 1.34−1.40,and the maximum wavelength sensitivity and amplitude sensitivity are 28400 nm/RIU and−1298.93 RIU^(−1),and the maximum refractive index resolution is 3.52×10^(−6)RIU.For temperature sensing,the sensor exhibits a wavelength sensitivity of 7.8 nm/℃and a high resolution of 1.38×10^(−6)℃over the range of 25−60℃.This design synergizes gold nanowires and the bias-core architecture to simplify fabrication while enabling multi-parameter detection.The proposed sensor offers new insights for integrated applications in biochemical mon-itoring,environmental sensing,and related fields.

文摘Silicon carbide fibers are considered ideal reinforcing materials for ceramic matrix composites due to their excellent mechanical properties and high-temperature performance.Different types of fibers necessitate individual investigation due to variations in their composition and fabrication processes.This study presents a comprehensive investigation into evolution of the mechanical properties,surface microstructure,and composition of Shicolon-Ⅱ fibers subjected to argon heat treatment at temperatures ranging from 1300℃to 1700℃.The Shicolon-Ⅱ fibers are composed of small-sized β-SiC grains,SiC_(x)O_(y) amorphous phase,and a minor amount of graphite microcrystals.Following treatment in an argon atmosphere at 1300℃,the fibers maintain a monofilament tensile strength of 3.620 GPa,corresponding to a retention of 98.32%.This strength diminishes to 2.875 GPa,equating to a retention of 78.08%,after treatment at 1500℃.The reduction in mechanical properties of the fibers can be ascribed to the decomposition of the amorphous phase and the growth of β-SiC grains.Furthermore,creep resistance is an essential factor influencing the long-term performance of composite materials.After treatment at temperatures above 1400℃,the high-temperature creep resistance of the fibers is significantly enhanced due to growth of β-SiC grains.This study offers valuable theoretical insights into high-temperature applications of second-generation fibers,contributing to an enhanced understanding of their performance under extreme conditions.

文摘Oil palm fiber is a natural fiber derived from agricultural biomass and has gained significant attention as an alternative reinforcement material in composite materials due to its abundance,renewability,and environmental benefits.This review explores the various enhancement techniques applied to oil palm fiber to improve its properties for composite material development.Key areas of focus include chemical treatments,physical modifications,and hybridization with other fibers to improve fiber-matrix bonding,mechanical strength,and thermal stability.Integration of nanomaterials and bio-based resins to enhance the performance and sustainability of oil palm fiber composites is also discussed.Applications in industries such as automotive,construction,packaging,and consumer goods highlighted the potential for these composites to replace traditional,non-renewable materials.Challenges such as fiber variability,production scalability,and market adoption were examined,along with future directions in advancing oil palm fiber-based composites.
文摘Background Heat shock proteins(HSPs)are key molecular chaperones that help maintain protein homeostasis by stabilizing or removing damaged proteins during cellular stress.Aging weakens these stress–response systems,disrupting proteostasis and increasing vulnerability to sarcopenia.High-intensity training(HIT)can counteract these declines by activating protective pathways such as the HSP response.HSPs are highly responsive to stress,examining their regulation during aging is important,as altered HSP activity is linked to the progressive loss of muscle mass.Methods This study investigated the abundance and phosphorylation of HSPs in skeletal muscle from healthy,active young and older adults(n=7 per group),assessed at baseline and again in the older group following 12 weeks of HIT.Using calibrated Western blotting on both whole-muscle homogenates and pooled single muscle fibres,we quantified HSP content and phosphorylation to determine how aging and exercise influence stress–responsive protein regulation at both the tissue and cellular levels.Results In whole muscle homogenates,HSPs(HSP72,HSP27,andαB-crystallin)did not differ between young and older adults,while higher phosphorylation of small HSPs(sHSPs):phospho-HSP27 at Serine15(pHSP27 Ser15)and phospho-αB-crystallin at Serine59(pαB-crystallin Ser59)(∼1.8-fold and∼2.9-fold,respectively)were found in muscle from older adults,indicating higher cellular stress associated with aging.A 12-week HIT intervention in older adults reduced homogenate pHSP27 Ser15 and pαB-crystallin Ser59 abundances to similar levels found in young adults.Total HSPs typically displayed a distinct fiber-type profile in both age groups,with more in type I compared to type II fibers,distinguished by the presence of myosin heavy chain I(MHCI)or MHCII.Phosphorylation at pHSP27 Ser15 and pαB-crystallin Ser59 was not different between type I and type II fibers.The HIT in older adults decreased total and phosphorylated sHSPs in both type I and type II fibers but increased HSP72 in type I fibers.Conclusion HIT has the potential to mitigate age-related cellular stress and modulate protein expression patterns in aging skeletal muscle and,perhaps,has the potential to delay age-related muscle decline,thereby improving muscle health in older adults.

文摘The two distinct types of composite materials(5%to 10%)were developed using recycled polyvinyl alcohol fiber(RPA),silicon nitride fiber(SN),and reduced carbon nanoparticles(RCN).Enhanced microstructural properties and mechanical strength were attained through the application of the 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane coupling method.The combination of the resin-like properties of RPA-SN fiber resulted in the formation of robust outer strength and a high bonding structure.RPA-RCN composite materials with a weight percentage of 10%exhibited a tensile strength of 42 MPa.In contrast,RPA-SN-RCN composite materials containing 5%to 10%demonstrated enhanced tensile,bending,and hardness properties.Pyramid structures,solid structures,and crystal phases were formed using RCN particles.The resin and silane properties on hardness were gradually 14%increasing the outside region,whereas RPA-SN-RCN(10 wt%)on average hardness were attained at 86(Shore-D).The microstructures on RPA-RCN(5%to 10%)samples were observed solid structure,twin boundary’s structure and lattice structure.The tensile strength of RPA-SN-RCN(10%)was 67.3MPa,whereas the impact strength of RPA-RCN(10 wt%)was 53 J/mm2.The scanning electron microscopies(SEM)were used to investigate the microstructure of the RPA-SN-RCN(5%)and RPA-SN-RCN(10%)composite materials,respectively.

文摘The rapid evolution of the autonomous driving industry has led to a surge in electronic units and applications,resulting in increased in-vehicle data traffic and higher demands for communication efficiency and security.Meanwhile,safe driving necessitates further development of in-vehicle thermal management systems,as traditional point-type sensors face deployment challenges due to their limited monitoring range.All-glass multimode fibers(AG-MMFs)emerge as an ideal solution for sensing and transmission.An integrated sensing and communication(ISAC)system based on AG-MMFs has been proposed and experimentally validated for stable and efficient operation across a broad temperature range from-18°C to 122°C,while maintaining strong tolerance to typical vehicle vibrations and connector misalignments.Utilizing a single commercial OM4 fiber,we achieve error-free PAM-4 transmission up to 100 Gb∕s with the aid of forward error correction and precise real-time temperature monitoring over 100 m at the same time.Furthermore,by adopting a looped link structure and a neural network-based denoising algorithm,temperature measuring maintains an average uncertainty and a spatial resolution of 0.1°C and 0.5 m,respectively,even under extreme conditions.Exhibiting such outstanding performance in both transmission and sensing,the ISAC architecture successfully addresses the growing demands for high-capacity in-vehicle networks and distributed thermal monitoring of critical components,while paving the theoretical foundation for“fiber to vehicle.”
