The optical oxygen sensing fi lm containing fl uorescence indicator Ru(bpy)3Cl2 was used to detect the consumption of oxygen in solution. Moreover, a lock-in amplifier was used to determine the lifetime of the sensor head by detecting its phase delay change. The results reveal that the sensor has a linear detection range of 1.0×10^-6- 9.0×10^-5 mol/L and a response time of 5 min. The sensor also has high selectivity, good repeatability and stability. It can be used effectively to determine DCP concentration in real samples.展开更多

The structure of the soft templates and the synthesized iron ,fibers were characterized by polarizing microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis etc. The experimental results shou that the synthesized iron fibers with a crystal phase grew up in the form of fiber clusters of about 200 nm along the direction perpendicular to the cathode surface. Each cluster was composed of several tens of fibers. The fibers had almost the same length of more than 10μm with a diameter of about 50 nm.展开更多

This paper presents several modification techniques for grinding long iron fibers to a suitable aspect ratio. The grinding instruments include pulsator, jet mill and muller. The aspect ratio distribution, microstructure, electromagnetic parameter and reflectivity of the samples were analyzed and discussed in detail. The results show that the fractions of 5〈aspect ratio〈40 for the three methods are 69.03%, 81.11% and 80.2% , respectively, that is, suitable short iron fibers can be obtained by the jet mill and muller. Furthermore, the short iron fibers milled by jet mill and muller have better absorbing propterties than those obtained by the pulsator under the same condition. Therefore, their microwave absorption properties can be improved by regulating the electromagnetic parameters with grinding.展开更多

It takes into account the results of measurements of thermal conductivity, thermal resistivity, thermal diffusivity and the results of compressive strength, density as well as energy storage capacity calculated from the knowledge of the above measured parameters. The experimental testing method is described as well: based upon the linear heat source theory, it requires the use of a special probe to be inserted into the sample. The experimentation was forwarded to test concrete aggregate mixtures with three different sizes and same quantity of steel fibers;two different quantities of iron filings and one plain concrete. The measurements were carried out from the pouring time of cubic samples and were ended up when hardened conditions were achieved. The results indicate that the steel fibers and iron filings have influence on the thermal and mechanical properties of the concretes tested, thus the iron filings and steel fibers reinforced concrete is suitable for better solar/thermal energy storage due to an increase in storage capacity over plain concrete.展开更多
