The dispersion, alignment of the SWCNT bundles and interfacial crystalline structure in the composite fibers are significantly influenced by the stretching force during the melt spinning. The nanohybrid shish kebab (NHSK) superstructure where extended PP chains and aligned SWCNT bundle as hybrid shish and PP lamellae as kebab has been successfully obtained in the composite fibers prepared at the high draw ratio and the related formation mechanism is discussed based on the results of morphological observations and 2d-SAXS patterns. Large improvement in tensile strength and modulus has been realized at the high draw ratio due to the enhanced orientation and dispersion of SWCNT bundles as well as the formation of NHSK.展开更多

These oligomers exhibit identical highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels, which were ca. -5.1 and -3.3 eV, respectively. Upon thermal annealing, all three oligomers formed thin films with ordered microstructures, and their organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) exhibited p-type transport behavior. The mobility was increased with an extension of the size of D-units. 03 showed the best OTFT performance with the mobility of up to 0.20 cm2·V-1 ·s-1. The film quality of 03 was improved by adding 1 wt% poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA). In consequence, the mobility of the O3-based devices was further enhanced to 0.30 cm2·V-1 ·s-1.展开更多

文摘The combined effects of stretching and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on crystalline structure and mechanical properties were systematically investigated in melt-spun polypropylene (PP) fibers prepared at two different draw ratios. The dispersion, alignment of the SWCNT bundles and interfacial crystalline structure in the composite fibers are significantly influenced by the stretching force during the melt spinning. The nanohybrid shish kebab (NHSK) superstructure where extended PP chains and aligned SWCNT bundle as hybrid shish and PP lamellae as kebab has been successfully obtained in the composite fibers prepared at the high draw ratio and the related formation mechanism is discussed based on the results of morphological observations and 2d-SAXS patterns. Large improvement in tensile strength and modulus has been realized at the high draw ratio due to the enhanced orientation and dispersion of SWCNT bundles as well as the formation of NHSK.

文摘Objective High Energy Photon Source-Test Facility(HEPS-TF)is a pre-research project for the construction of high energy synchrotron radiation source in the 12th five-year plan period.The purpose is to research the key technology and develop the key equipment of high energy synchrotron radiation source.Superconducting 3W1 magnet is the first self-developed superconducting wiggler magnet in China,and it is also one of the key research topics of HEPS.The author has completed a new digital closed-loop control algorithm for the superconducting 3W1 magnet with large load time constant and the nonlinear characteristics of inductance increasing with current,namely three-branch structure algorithm.In the face of the rapid development of high energy accelerator technology,the application of intelligent technology has become an inevitable development trend in the field of accelerator magnet power supply technology.Although the digital control of accelerator magnet power supply has been widely used,it is the first time to apply the new closed-loop control algorithm to realize fast adjustment and precision tracking in accelerator superconducting magnet power supply in China.Method According to the nonlinear characteristics of inductance and output current of superconducting magnet,a new digital closed-loop control algorithm for the load of superconducting magnet power supply with large time constant is proposed.Conclusion This algorithm is quite different from the traditional algorithm and can attain the independent tracking and adjust-ment of the control target.Finally,by testing the ripple,error and stability of superconducting 3W1 magnet power supply,the correctness,practicability and reliability of power supply system as well as the digital control algorithm are verified.The results provide a new idea for the control of accelerator magnet power supply.
文摘Purpose This paper describes the design of power supply system for superconducting wiggler in the project of high energy photon source-test facility.It includes three sets of high precision DC stabilized current power supplies for superconducting magnet excitation and three sets of quench protection assembly(QPA).A special magnetic load which has a very large time constant is studied in this paper.In this paper,a stable superconducting excitation power supply is developed,which can adjust the response quickly under the condition of very large load time constant.Meanwhile,the energy dissipation circuit of the QPA is integrated into the power supply in an active quenching protection mode to accelerate the energy release of the superconducting magnet and protect the superconducting magnet.Method The main circuit topology,control algorithm,quenching protection circuit and interlocking logic function are designed for the superconducting magnet with large inductance.The upper computer controls the switch of the three main power circuits through the serial port,sets the output current and adjusts the parameters according to the load.Conclusion Through a series of scientific and rigorous experiments,the rationality of superconducting wiggler magnet power supply scheme is demonstrated.The output current stability test and output voltage ripple test of the power supply meet or exceed the requirements of the magnet system.
