The most common hurdles faced during spinal cord injury are failure of axonal regrowth and reconnection to target sites. These also tend to be the most challenging issues in spinal cord injury. As spinal cord injury progresses to the chronic phase, lost motor and sensory functions are not recovered. Several reasons may be attributed to the failure of recovery from chronic spinal cord injury. These include factors that inhibit axonal growth such as activated astrocytes, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, myelin-associated proteins, inflammatory microglia, and fibroblasts that accumulate at lesion sites. Skeletal muscle atrophy due to denervation is another chronic and detrimental spinal cord injury–specific condition. Although several intervention strategies based on multiple outlooks have been attempted for treating spinal cord injury, few approaches have been successful. To treat chronic spinal cord injury, neural cells or tissue substitutes may need to be supplied in the cavity area to enable possible axonal growth. Additionally, stimulating axonal growth activity by extrinsic factors is extremely important and essential for maintaining the remaining host neurons and transplanted neurons. This review focuses on pharmacotherapeutic approaches using small compounds and proteins to enable axonal growth in chronic spinal cord injury. This review presents some of these candidates that have shown promising outcomes in basic research(in vivo animal studies) and clinical trials: AA-NgR(310)ecto-Fc(AXER-204), fasudil, phosphatase and tensin homolog protein antagonist peptide 4, chondroitinase ABC, intracellular sigma peptide,(-)-epigallocatechin gallate, matrine, acteoside, pyrvate kinase M2, diosgenin, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, and fampridine-sustained release. Although the current situation suggests that drug-based therapies to recover function in chronic spinal cord injury are limited, potential candidates have been identified through basic research, and these candidates may be subjects of clinical studies in the future. Moreover, cocktail therapy comprising drugs with varied underlying mechanisms may be effective in treating the refractory status of chronic spinal cord injury.展开更多

文摘Diatomic metasurfaces designed for interferometric mechanisms possess significant potential for the multidimensional manipulation of electromagnetic waves,including control over amplitude,phase,frequency,and polarization.Geometric phase profiles with spin-selective properties are commonly associated with wavefront modulation,allowing the implementation of conjugate strategies within orthogonal circularly polarized channels.Simultaneous control of these characteristics in a single-layered diatomic metasurface will be an apparent technological extension.Here,spin-selective modulation of terahertz(THz)beams is realized by assembling a pair of meta-atoms with birefringent effects.The distinct modulation functions arise from geometric phase profiles characterized by multiple rotational properties,which introduce independent parametric factors that elucidate their physical significance.By arranging the key parameters,the proposed design strategy can be employed to realize independent amplitude and phase manipulation.A series of THz metasurface samples with specific modulation functions are characterized,experimentally demonstrating the accuracy of on-demand manipulation.This research paves the way for all-silicon meta-optics that may have great potential in imaging,sensing and detection.

文摘Improving and optimizing the target properties of ceramics via the high entropy strategy has attracted significant attention.Rare earth niobate is a potential thermal barrier coating(TBCs)material,but its poor high-temperature phase stability limits its further application.In this work,four sets of TBCs high-entropy ceramics,(Sm_(1/5)Dy_(1/5)Ho_(1/5)Er_(1/5)Yb_(1/5))(Nb_(1/2)Ta_(1/2))O_(4)(5NbTa),(Sm_(1/6)Dy_(1/6)Ho_(1/6)Er_(1/6)Yb_(1/6)Lu_(1/6))(Nb_(1/2)Ta_(1/2))O_(4)(6NbTa),(Sm_(1/7)Gd_(1/7)Dy_(1/7)Ho_(1/7)Er_(1/7)Yb_(1/7)Lu_(1/7))(Nb_(1/2)Ta_(1/2))O_(4)(7NbTa),(Sm_(1/8)Gd_(1/8)Dy_(1/8)Ho_(1/8)Er_(1/8)Tm_(1/8)Yb_(1/8)Lu_(1/8))(Nb_(1/2)Ta_(1/2))O_(4)(8NbTa)are synthesized using a solid-state reaction method at 1650℃for 6 h.Firstly,the X-ray diffractometer(XRD)patterns display that the samples are all single-phase solid solution structures(space group C 2/c).Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)and the high-temperature XRD of 8NbTa cross-check that the addition of Ta element in 8HERN increases the phase transition temperature above 1400℃,which can be attributed to that the Ta/Nb co-doping at B site introduces the fluctuation of the bond strength of Ta-O and Nb-O.Secondly,compared to high-entropy rare-earth niobates,the introduction of Ta atoms at B site substantially reduce thermal conductivity(re-duced by 44%,800℃)with the seven components high entropy ceramic as an example.The low thermal conductivity means strong phonon scattering,which may originate from the softening acoustic mode and flattened phonon dispersion in 5–8 principal element high entropy rare earth niobium tantalates(5–8NbTa)revealed by the first-principles calculations.Thirdly,the Ta/Nb co-doping in 5–8NbTa systems can further optimize the insulation performance of oxygen ions.The oxygen-ion conductivity of 8NbTa(3.31×10^(−6)S cm^(−1),900℃)is about 5 times lower than that of 8HERN(15.8×10^(−6)S cm^(−1),900℃)because of the sluggish diffusion effect,providing better oxygen barrier capacity in 5–8NbTa systems to inhibit the overgrowth of the thermal growth oxide(TGO)of TBCs.In addition,influenced by lattice dis-tortion and solid solution strengthening,the samples possess higher hardness(7.51–8.15 GPa)and TECs(9.78×10^(−6)K−1^(-1)0.78×10^(−6)K^(−1),1500℃)than the single rare-earth niobates and tantalates.Based on their excellent overall properties,it is considered that 5–8NbTa can be used as auspicious TBCs.

文摘The grain boundary diffusion process(GBDP)has proven to be an effective method for enhancing the coercivity of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets.However,the limited diffusion depth and thicker shell struc-ture have impeded the further development of magnetic properties.Currently,the primary debates re-garding the mechanism of GBDP with Tb revolve around the dissolution-solidification mechanism and the atomic substitution mechanism.To clarify this mechanism,the microstructure evolution of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets during the heating process of GBDP has been systematically studied by quenching at different tem peratures.In this study,it was found that the formation of TbFe_(2) phase is related to the dis-solution of _(2)Fe_(14)B grains during GBDP with Tb.The theory of mixing heat and phase separation further confirms that the Nd_(2)Fe_(14)B phase dissolves to form a mixed phase of Nd and TbFe_(2),which then solidifies into the(Nd,Tb)_(2)Fe_(14)B phase.Based on the discovery of the TbFe_(2) phase,the dissolution-solidification mechanism is considered the primary mechanism for GBDP.This is supported by the elemental content of the two typical core-shell structures observed.

文摘Understanding the evolution of microstructures in nuclear fuels under high-burn-up conditions is critical for extending fuel refueling cycles and enhancing nuclear reactor safety.In this study,a phase-field model is proposed to examine the evolution of high-burn-up structures in polycrystalline UO_(2).The formation and growth of recrystallized grains were initially investigated.It was demonstrated that recrystallization kinetics adhere to the Kolmogorov–Johnson–Mehl–Avrami(KJMA)equation,and that recrystallization represents a process of free-energy reduction.Subsequently,the microstructural evolution in UO_(2) was analyzed as the burn up increased.Gas bubbles acted as additional nucleation sites,thereby augmenting the recrystallization kinetics,whereas the presence of recrystallized grains accelerated bubble growth by increasing the number of grain boundaries.The observed variations in the recrystallization kinetics and porosity with burn-up closely align with experimental findings.Furthermore,the influence of grain size on microstructure evolution was investigated.Larger grain sizes were found to decrease porosity and the occurrence of high-burn-up structures.

文摘For the development of high-performance metallic glasses,enhancing their stability against viscous flow and crystallization is a primary objective.Vapor deposition or prolonged annealing is an effective method to improve glass stability,shown by increased glass transition temperature(Tg)and crystallization temperature(Tx).This contributes to the development of ultra-stable metallic glasses.Herein,we demonstrate that modulating the quenching temperature can also produce ultra-stable metallic glasses,as evidenced by an increase in Tx of 17-30 K in Cu-based metallic glasses.By modulating the quenching temperature,separated primary phases,secondary phases,and even nano-oxides can be obtained in the metallic glasses.Notably,metastable phases such as Cu-rich precipitates arising from secondary phase separation play a crucial role in enhancing glass stability.However,the enhancement of the stability of the glass has only a negligible effect on its mechanical properties.This study implies that different melt thermodynamic states generated by liquid-liquid separation and transition collectively determine the frozen-in glass structure.The results of this study will be helpful for the development of ultra-stable bulk glasses.

文摘The performance of Mg alloys is significantly influenced by the concentrations and solid solution behavior of the alloying elements.In this work,the solid solution behavior of 20 alloying elements in 190 ternary Mg alloy systems at 500℃are systematically investigated.The solid solution behavior of a set of two different alloying elements in Mg alloy systems are suggested to be classified into three categories:inclusivity,exclusivity and proportionality.Inclusivity classification indicates that the two alloying elements are inclusive inα-Mg,increasing the joint solubility of both elements.Exclusivity classification suggests that the two alloying elements have a low joint solid solubility inα-Mg,since they prefer to form stable second phases.For the proportionality classification,the solubility curve of the ternary Mg alloy systems is a straight line connecting the solubility points of the two sub-binary systems.The proposed classification theory was validated by key experiments and the calculation of formation energies.The interaction effects between alloying elements and the preference of formation of second phases are the main factors determining the solid solution behavior classifications.Based on the observed solid solution features of multi-component Mg alloys,principles for alloy design of different types of high-performance Mg alloys were proposed in this work.

文摘Piezoelectric ceramic materials are important components of piezoelectric buzzers,where the parameter of inverse piezoelectric coefficient(d_(33)^(*))plays a decisive role in the performance of the buzzer.Here,we report the manufacture and performance of a lead-free ceramic-based(0.96(K_(0.5)Na_(0.5))(Nb_(0.96)Sb_(0.04))O_(3)-0.04(Bi_(0.5)Na_(0.5))ZrO_(3)-1 mol%Al_(2)O_(3),abbreviated as KNNS-BNZ-1 mol%Al_(2)O_(3))piezoelectric buzzer and compare it with commercial(PbZr_(0.5)Ti_(0.5)O_(3),abbreviated as PZT)ceramics.Briefly,KNN-based ceramics have a typical perovskite structure and piezoelectric properties of d_(33)=480 pC/N,k_(p)=0.62 and d_(33)^(*)=830 pm/V,compared to d_(33)=500 pC/N,k_(p)=0.6 and d_(33)^(*)=918 pm/V of the commercial PZT-4 ceramics.Our results show that the KNNS-BNZ-1 mol%Al_(2)O_(3)ceramics have a similar sound pressure level performance over the testing frequency range to commercial PZT ceramics(which is even better in the 3-4 kHz range).These findings highlight the great application potential of KNN-based piezoelectric ceramics.

文摘The storage of solid waste in Bayan Obo has resulted in significant resource wastage and environmental concerns.In this study,an efficient process was developed to recover iron and rare earth elements(REEs)from this waste by processes of hydrogen-based mineral phase transformation(HMPT),magnetic separation,and flotation.Under optimal HMPT conditions(525℃,12.5 min,and 30%H_(2)concentration),an iron concentrate with a TFe grade of 64.09%and a recovery of 95.33%was obtained.The magnetic properties of the solid waste were greatly enhanced by HMPT,allowing the effective magnetic separation of iron minerals.Further optimization of the flotation process resulted in a REEs concentrate with a rare earth oxide(REO)grade of 65%-70%and a REEs recovery of 60%-65%.Hematite was reduced to magnetite during HMPT,and bastnaesite was decomposed to REEs oxides and fluorides,and the particle structure was significantly destroyed.However,changes in monazite,fluorite,and barite were minimal.

文摘Theβsolidifiedγ-TiAl alloy holds important application value in the aerospace industry,while its com-plex phase compositions and geometric structures pose challenges to its microstructure control during the thermal-mechanical process.The microstructure evolution of Ti-43Al-4Nb-1Mo-0.2B alloy at 1200℃/0.01 s−1 was investigated to clarify the coupling role of dynamic recrystallization(DRX)and phase transformation.The results revealed that the rate of DRX inα2+γlamellar colonies was comparatively slower than that inβo+γmixed structure,instead being accompanied by intense lamellar kinking and rotation.The initiation and development rates of DRX inα2,βo,andγphases decreased sequentially.The asynchronous DRX of the various geometric structures and phase compositions resulted in the un-even deformed microstructure,and the dynamic softening induced by lamellar kinking and rotation was replaced by strengthened DRX as strain increased.Additionally,the blockyα2 phase and the terminals ofα2 lamellae were the preferential DRX sites owing to the abundant activated slip systems.Theα2→βo transformation within lamellar colonies facilitated DRX and fragment ofα2 lamellae,while theα2→γtransformation promoted the decomposition ofα2 lamellae and DRX ofγlamellae.Moreover,the var-iedβo+γmixed structures underwent complicated evolution:(1)Theγ→βo transformation occurred at boundaries of lamellar colonies,followed by simultaneous DRX ofγlamellar terminals and neighboringβo phase;(2)DRX occurred earlier within the band-likeβo phase,with the delayed DRX in enclosedγphase;(3)DRX within theβo synapses and neighboringγphase was accelerated owing to generation of elastic stress field;(4)Dispersedβo particles triggered particle stimulated nucleation(PSN)ofγphase.Eventually,atomic diffusion along crystal defects inβo andγphases caused fracture of band-likeβo phase and formation of massiveβo particles,impeding grain boundary migration and hindering DRXed grain growth ofγphase.

文摘It is well known that coarse-grained super-elastic NiTi shape memory alloys(SMAs)exhibit localized rather than homogeneous martensite transformation(MT),which,however,can be strongly influenced by either internal size(grain size,GS)or the external size(geometric size).The coupled effect of GS and geometric size on the functional properties has not been clearly understood yet.In this work,the super-elasticity,one-way,and stress-assisted two-way shape memory effects of the polycrystalline NiTi SMAs with different aspect ratios(length/width for the gauge section)and different GSs are investigated based on the phase field method.The coupled effect of the aspect ratio and GS on the functional properties is adequately revealed.The simulated results indicate that when the aspect ratio is lower than about 4:1,the stress biaxiality and stress heterogeneity in the gauge section of the sample become more and more obvious with decreasing the aspect ratio,which can significantly influence the microstructure evolution in the process involving external stress.Therefore,the corresponding functional property is strongly dependent on the aspect ratio.With decreasing the GS and the aspect ratio(to be lower than 4:1),both the aspect ratio and GS can affect the MT or martensite reorientation in each grain and the interaction among grains.Thus,due to the strong internal constraint(i.e.,the constraint of grain boundary)and the external constraint(i.e.,the constraint of geometric boundary),the capabilities of the functional properties of NiTi SMAs are gradually weakened and highly dependent on these two factors.

文摘It is of great significance to accurately and rapidly identify shale lithofacies in relation to the evaluation and prediction of sweet spots for shale oil and gas reservoirs.To address the problem of low resolution in logging curves,this study establishes a grayscale-phase model based on high-resolution grayscale curves using clustering analysis algorithms for shale lithofacies identification,working with the Shahejie For-mation,Bohai Bay Basin,China.The grayscale phase is defined as the sum of absolute grayscale and relative amplitude as well as their features.The absolute grayscale is the absolute magnitude of the gray values and is utilized for evaluating the material composition(mineral composition+total organic carbon)of shale,while the relative amplitude is the difference between adjacent gray values and is used to identify the shale structure type.The research results show that the grayscale phase model can identify shale lithofacies well,and the accuracy and applicability of this model were verified by the fitting relationship between absolute grayscale and shale mineral composition,as well as corresponding re-lationships between relative amplitudes and laminae development in shales.Four lithofacies are iden-tified in the target layer of the study area:massive mixed shale,laminated mixed shale,massive calcareous shale and laminated calcareous shale.This method can not only effectively characterize the material composition of shale,but also numerically characterize the development degree of shale laminae,and solve the problem that difficult to identify millimeter-scale laminae based on logging curves,which can provide technical support for shale lithofacies identification,sweet spot evaluation and prediction of complex continental lacustrine basins.

文摘The research,fabrication and development of piezoelectric nanofibrous materials offer effective solutions to the challenges related to energy consumption and non-renewable resources.However,enhancing their electrical output still remains a significant challenge.Here,a strategy of inducing constrained phase separation on single nanofibers via shear force was proposed.Employing electrospinning technology,a polyacrylonitrile/polyvinylidene difluoride(PAN/PVDF)nanofibrous membrane was fabricated in one step,which enabled simultaneous piezoelectric and triboelectric conversion within a single-layer membrane.Each nanofiber contained independent components of PAN and PVDF and exhibited a rough surface.The abundant frictional contact points formed between these heterogeneous components contributed to an enhanced endogenous triboelectric output,showcasing an excellent synergistic effect of piezoelectric and triboelectric response in the nanofibrous membrane.Additionally,the component mass ratio influenced the microstructure,piezoelectric conformation and piezoelectric performance of the PAN/PVDF nanofibrous membranes.Through comprehensive performance comparison,the optimal mass ratio of PAN to PVDF was determined to be 9∶1.The piezoelectric devices made of the optimal PAN/PVDF nanofibrous membranes with rough nanofiber surfaces generated an output voltage of 20 V,which was about 1.8 times that of the smooth one at the same component mass ratio.The strategy of constrained phase separation on the surface of individual nanofibers provides a new approach to enhance the output performance of single-layer piezoelectric nanofibrous materials.
