Effect of Liquid Temperature on Surface and Mechanical Characteristics of Al-Mg Alloy Treated with a Cavitating Waterjet

The presented study aims to reveal the effect of liquid temperature on cavitation-induced erosion of an Al-Mgalloy. An experimental work was conducted using a submerged cavitating waterjet to impact the specimen surface.For a certain cavitation number and a given standoff distance, different liquid temperatures were considered.Accordingly, a comprehensive comparison was implemented by inspecting the mass loss and surface morphologyof the tested specimens. The results show that the cumulative mass loss increases continuously with the liquidtemperature. A cavitation zone with an irregular profile becomes evident as the cavitation treatment proceeds.Increasing the temperature promotes the generation of cavitation bubbles. Large erosion pits are induced aftersevere material removal. The microhardness increases with the distance from the target surface. At a liquidtemperature of 50℃, the microhardness fluctuates apparently with increasing the depth of indentation.

聚L-谷氨酸光交联水凝胶的制备和性能

以侧链接枝聚乙二醇丙烯酸酯(APEG)的聚L-谷氨酸(PLGA)(PLGA-g-APEG)为前驱体,通过紫外光交联制备水凝胶,研究了APEG的接枝率及PLGA-g-APEG前驱体质量浓度对光交联水凝胶力学性能的影响。结果表明,当APEG接枝率为44.7%,PLGA-g-APEG的质量分数为15%时,水凝胶的力学性能最佳,其储能模量为16238.2 Pa,压缩破坏应力为0.16 MPa。通过多次循环压缩测试,证实压缩曲线几近重合,表明水凝胶具有良好的回弹性能。最后通过MTT法和死/活实验证明PLGA-g-APEG前驱体及其光交联水凝胶均具有良好的生物相容性,该聚L-谷氨酸光交联水凝胶在再生医学领域具有潜在的应用价值。
