文摘In this work,a morphology transition mode is revealed in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE)when stretching at 120℃:moving from the slightly deformed region to the necked region,the morphology transfers from small spherulites to a mixture of transcrystalline and enlarged spherulites,and finally to pure transcrystalline;meanwhile,the lamellae making up the transcrystalline or spherulite were fragmented into smaller ones;spatial scan by wide-angle X-ray scattering(WAXS)and small angle X-ray scattering(SAXS)revealed that the crystallinity is increased from 25.3%to 30.1%and the crystal orientation was enhanced greatly,but the lamellae orientation was quite weak.The rise of enlarged spherulites or a mixture of transcrystalline and spherulites can also be found in UHMWPE stretched at 140 and 148℃,whereas absent in UHMWPE stretched at 30℃.In situ WAXS/SAXS measurements suggest that during stretching at 30℃,the crystallinity is reduced drastically,and a few voids are formed as the size increases from 50 nm to 210 nm;during stretching at 120℃,the crystallinity is reduced only slightly,and the kinking of lamellae occurs at large Hencky strain;during stretching at 140 and 148℃,an increase in crystallinity with stretching strain can be found,and the lamellae are also kinked.Taking the microstructure and morphology transition into consideration,a mesoscale morphology transition mode is proposed,in the stretching-induced crystallization the fragmented lamellae can be rearranged into new supra-structures such as spherulite or transcrystalline during hot stretching.
文摘The study of stretching surfaces has garnered significant attention due to its importance in a wide range of industrial and engineering functions,including the drawing of wires and plastic films,shrink film production,polymer sheet extrusion,the manufacturing of glass fibers,and the manufacturing of polyester heat-shrink tubing.This research incorporates a Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium to account for the effects of porosity.The governing equations are transformed into a boundary value problem and solved semi-analytically using the Taylor wavelet method.The effects of various parameters are depicted through graphical analyses.The results show that for both converging and diverging stretching surfaces,an increase in the porosity parameter causes a decrease in the velocity field.Additionally,higher Reynolds numbers enhance inertial effects,leading to more pronounced velocity fluctuations.Stretching causes a consistent drop in velocity toward the center and an increase close to the walls in both types of channels,indicating that the volume percentage of nanoparticles influences the heat distribution.Notably,stretching induces a marked temperature drop at the channel's center.

文摘Background:Mechanical ventilation(MV)provides life support for patients with severe respiratory distress but can simultaneously cause ventilator-induced lung injury(VILI).However,due to a poor understanding of its mechanism,there is still a lack of effective remedies for the often-deadly VILI.Recent studies indicate that the stretch associated with MV can enhance the secretion of extracellular vesicles(EVs)and induce endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress in airway smoothmuscle cells(ASMCs),both of which can contribute to VILI.But whetherMVassociated stretch enhances the secretion of EVs via ER stress in ASMCs as an underlying mechanism of VILI remains unknown.Methods:In this study,we exposed cultured human ASMCs to stretch(13%strain)and mouse models to MV at tidal volume(18 mL/kg).Subsequently,the amount of secreted EVs in the culture medium of ASMCs and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)of mousemodels was quantitatively evaluated by ultracentrifugation,transmission electron microscopy,Western blot,flow cytometry,and nanoparticle tracking analysis.The cultured ASMCs and the lung tissues of mouse models were assessed for expression of biomarkers of EVs(cluster of differentiation antigen 63,CD63),ER stress(heat shock protein family A member 5,HSPA5),and EVs regulating molecule Rab27a by immunofluorescence microscopy,immunohistochemistry(IHC)and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),respectively.MicroRNAs(miRNAs)in EVs from ASMCs were measured with miRNA whole genome sequencing(miRNA-Seq).Results:We found that stretch enhanced EV secretion from cultured ASMCs.In addition,the cultured ASMCs and the mouse models were either or not pretreated with ER stress inhibitor(tauroursodeoxycholic acid,TUDCA)/EV secretion inhibitor(GW4869)prior to stretch or MV.We found that MV-associated stretch enhanced the expression of CD63,HSPA5,and Rab27a in cultured ASMCs and BALF/lung tissues of mousemodels,which could all be attenuated with TUDCA/GW4869 pretreatment.miRNA-Seq data show that differentially expressed miRNAs in EVsmainlymodulate gene transcription.Furthermore,the EVs fromcultured ASMCs under stretch tended to enhance detachment and expression of inflammatory cytokines,i.e.,transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1),interleukin-10(IL-10)in cultured airway epithelial cells.The expression of TGF-β1 and IL-10 in BALF of the mouse models also increased in response to MV,which was attenuated together with partial improvement of lung injury by pretreatment with TUDCA,GW4869/Rab27a siRNAs.Conclusion:Taken together,our data indicate thatMV-associated stretch can enhance the secretion of EVs from ASMCs via ER stress signaling to mediate airway inflammation and VILI,which provides new insight for further exploring EVs for the diagnosis and treatment of VILI.

文摘This paper discusses the model of the boundary layer(BL)flow and the heat transfer characteristics of hybrid nanofluid(HNF)over shrinking/stretching disks.In addition,the thermal radiation and the impact of velocity and thermal slip boundary conditions are also examined.The considered hybrid nano-fluid contains silver(Ag)and iron oxide(Fe_(3)O_(4))nanoparticles dispersed in the water to prepare the Ag-Fe_(3)O_(4)/water-based hybrid nanofluid.The requisite posited partial differential equations model is converted to ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations.For a numerical solution,the shooting method in Maple is employed.Moreover,the duality in solutions is achieved for both cases of the disk(stretching(λ>0)and shrinking(λ<0)).At the same time,a unique solution is observed for λ=0.No solution is found for them at λ<λ_(c),whereas the solutions are split at the λ=λ_(c).Besides,the value of the λ_(c) is dependent on the φ_(hnf).Meanwhile,the values of f″(0)and -θ′(0)intensified with increasing φ_(hnf).Stability analysis has been applied using bvp4c in MATLAB software due to a dual solution.Furthermore,analysis shows that the first solution is stable and feasible physically.For the slip parameters,an increase in the velocity slip parameter increases the velocity and shear stress profiles while increasing the temperature profile in the first solutions.While the rise in thermal slip parameter reduces the temperature profile nanoparticle volume fractions increase it.

文摘Highly oriented poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)ultrathin films with differentβ-phase contents were prepared using the melt-draw method.The effect ofβ-phase content onα-βphase transition of highly oriented PVDF ultrathin films induced by stretching was investigated using transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and Fourier transform infrared(FTIR)spectroscopy.The results show that stretching can enhance the crystallinity and increase the average thickness of the lamellae.A fullα-βphase transition can be achieved for PVDF ultrathin films of 20.6%βphase stretched to aλ(stretching ratio)of 1.5,while fewαphases still exist for ultrathin films of 35.0%βphase,together with bent and tilted lamellae.Compared to thicker PVDF films undergoing stretching-inducedα-βphase transition,the higherα-βphase transition efficiency of the PVDF ultrathin films can be attributed to the parallel aligned lamellar structure.Moreover,a higherβ-phase content can suppressα-βphase transition because of the stress concentration effect ofβ-phase.Ultimately,these results provide valuable insights into the stretching-inducedα-βphase transition of PVDF ultrathin films.
文摘In this paper,the authors examine various slip effects on themagnetic field and thermal radiative impacts on the flow,mass and heat transfer of a Jeffrey nanofluid over a 2-dimensional inclined stretching sheet by a porous media.The offered work is modelled to be in the form of a combination of coupled highly nonlinear partial differential equations in dimensional contexts.Governing equations were obtained,dimensionless parameters were defined in terms of similarity parameters,and the solutionswere obtained by the Homotopy Analysis Method(HAM).The analysis is significant as the effects of viscosity are identified and the important parameters are to be determined that could eventually control a type of flowbehaviour,especially in promoting the flowand inhibiting flowof velocity,temperature,and concentrations.The findings show that such an increase in themagnetic parameter decreases the velocity profile by approximately 15%due to more Lorentz forces,and thermal radiation increases the temperature profile by up to 25%,therefore,enhancing the rate of heat transfer.The process of Brownian motion and thermophoresis increases the depth of the thermal boundary layer by 10–20 percent and reduces in concentration profiles by 12 percent when the Brownian motion parameter increases.A velocity slip parameter lowers the velocity field by about 18 percent,and a parameter of permeability lowers the momentum of flow by another 10 percent.The HAM solutions show very high accuracy levels,having an order of convergence at level 15 and errormargins are well below 0.01 percent compared to the earlier studies.All these findings can provide profound knowledge in improving heat transmission in non-Newtonian fluid systems and can be used in biomedical engineering,thermal insulation,and industrial processes such as polymer extrusion and cooling technology.Principles of heat and mass transfer give us the crucial foundation on which to study the behavior of heat andmaterial flows in other engineering and scientific disciplines.Such principles apply to various fields of study,including the following engineering fields:mechanical,chemical,aerospace,civil,and environmental.
文摘The high thermal conductivity of the nanoparticles in hybrid nanofluids results in enhanced thermal conductivity associated with their base fluids.Enhanced heat transfer is a result of this high thermal conductivity,which has significant applications in heat exchangers and engineering devices.To optimize heat transfer,a liquid film of Cu and TiO_(2)hybrid nanofluid behind a stretching sheet in a variable porous medium is being considered due to its importance.The nature of the fluid is considered time-dependent and the thickness of the liquid film is measured variable adjustable with the variable porous space and favorable for the uniform flow of the liquid film.The solution of the problem is acquired using the homotopy analysis method HAM,and the artificial neural network ANN is applied to obtain detailed information in the form of error estimation and validations using the fitting curve analysis.HAM data is utilized to train the ANN in this study,which uses Cu and TiO_(2)hybrid nanofluids in a variable porous space for unsteady thin film flow,and it is used to train the ANN.The results indicate that Cu and TiO_(2)play a greater role in boosting the rate.
