The main chemical composition and mineral structure of the waste fluorgypsum were analyzed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and eight-channel micro-calorimeter (TAM Air) were employed to analyze the changes in morphology and study the application performance of the modified fluorgypsum, respectively. Experimental results indicate that the flexural strength and compressive strength of the modified fiuorgypsurn are roughly equal to those of the natural gypsum. The morphology of the crystal of the fiuorgypsum changes from block particle into trimetric short column. The fluorgypsum crystals stagger mutually and improve the strength of the hardened body. The modified fluorgypsum as cement retarder could delay the hydration, reduce the heat of the hydration and make the setting time, volume stability, and the S03 content of the cement meet the national standards. The modified fluorgypsum is a good substitute for the natural gypsum.展开更多

The expressions for the elastic moduli and the yield strengths under tensile and compressive loadings were derived which take account of thermal residual stresses. The asymmetries in the elastic modulus and the yield strength were interpreted using the derived expressions and the obtained results of the stress calculations.

It was indicated that Sx modifier was sensitive to the carbon equivalent (CE) of molten iron and to some alloying elements too. When the CE of molten iron and the contents of alloying elements were changed, the content of Sx must be revised with the change correspondingly. Low carbon ductile iron can be stably changed into the one that non-carbon acicular ferrite and retained austenite (about 25%-28%) by quasi-casting bainitic process of using Sx-2 modifier treated Si-Mn-Cr-Cu-alloyed low carbon molten iron. The austenitic low carbon as-cast ductile iron could be obtained by the Ni-Si-Cr 35 5 2 percent alloys molten iron with less than 2% carbon treated by type Sx-3 modifier. The high-toughness ferritic low carbon as-cast ductile iron which contained more than 85 % ferrite in matrix could be got after the molten iron treated by type Sx-4 modifier, and it’s elongation was more than 10 %.展开更多

The chemical structure of the polyurethane modified organic silicone was characterized by FT-IR and1H-NMR. The polymer film on the cotton surface was investigated by scanning electron microscopy( SEM) and the results showed that a thin polymer film was successfully formed. The FT-IR of treated cotton fabrics indicated that hydroxyl( OH) of cellulose fiber and isocyanate group( NCO)of the polyurethane modified organic silicone has formed covalent cross-linking. X-ray diffraction( XRD) analysis revealed that the crystalline region of treated cotton fabrics wasn't changed. The wet rubbing fastness of treated cotton fabrics was increased by approximately rating 1 on average. There was little change of DE values for the polyurethane modified organic silicone. The softness was improved significantly.展开更多

Herein, ...Magnetic-luminescent nanocomposites have obtained a great deal of attention due to their potential applications in magnetic separation of cells, magnetic resonance imaging and luminescence imaging, and so on. Herein, a new and facile two-step synthetic strategy was developed to prepare magnetic Fe304 modified single crystalline up- conversion luminescent NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+ nanocrystals using Fe304 nanoparticles as the seeds. Acting as the "nu- clei" in the reaction, the presence of Fe304 nanoparticles facilitates the formation of up-conversion NaYF4: Yb3+, Er3+ nanocrystals on their surfaces through heterogeneous nucleation process. The structure and properties of these multifunctional nanocrystals were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photo luminescence (PL) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results revealed that the as-prepared multifunctional nanocrystals show dual distinct properties of up-conversion fluorescent and superpara- magnetism, which were cubic in shape and very uniform in size with an average size ranging 30m40 nm. These unique functionalities could be very attractive for biological systems, and some biological applications such as cell- labelling were also demonstrated.展开更多
