Synthesis, performance and structure characterization of glyoxal-monomethylolurea-melamine (G-MMU-M) co-condensed resin

In order to reduce the formaldehyde emission of formaldehyde-based wood adhesive from the source,it is aimed to develop a novel co-condensed resin of glyoxal-monomethylolurea-melamine(G-MMU-M).A series of G-MMU-M resins with various formulations of raw materials were successfully prepared.The basic properties and bonding performance of the G-MMU-M resins were determined.Furthermore,the structures of resins were characterized by FTIR,^(13)C NMR,XPS,and ESI-MS.The results show that the prepared G-MMU-M resin remains stable for 30 d,meanwhile,the dry and wet bonding strength of the plywoods bonded with the resins,solid content and viscosity are influenced greatly by the addition amount of melamine and MMU/G molar ratio.The G-MMU-M resins with MMU/G molar ratio of 0.9:1.0 and 8% melamine exhibit the highest dry and bonding strength of 1.98 MPa and 1.27 MPa,increased by 34% and 63%,respectively,in comparison with glyoxal-monomethylolurea(G-MMU)resin.In the G-MMU-M resins,there were four main oligomers including M—CH(—^(+)CH-MMU)-O-MMU,M-CH(—CH_(2)OH)-MMU-O-MMU,M—CH(—OH)—^(+)CH-MMU-O-MMU,and M—CH(—^(+)CH-MMU)-MMU-p-G.

Binary molten salt in situ synthesis of sandwich-structure hybrids of hollowβ-Mo2C nanotubes and N-doped carbon nanosheets for hydrogen evolution reaction

Focused exploration of earth-abundant and cost-efficient non-noble metal electrocatalysts with superior hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)performance is very important for large-scale and efficient electrolysis of water.Herein,a sandwich composite structure(designed as MS-Mo2C@NCNS)ofβ-Mo2C hollow nanotubes(HNT)and N-doped carbon nanosheets(NCNS)is designed and prepared using a binary NaCl–KCl molten salt(MS)strategy for HER.The temperature-dominant Kirkendall formation mechanism is tentatively proposed for such a three-dimensional hierarchical framework.Due to its attractive structure and componential synergism,MS-Mo2C@NCNS exposes more effective active sites,confers robust structural stability,and shows significant electrocatalytic activity/stability in HER,with a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and an overpotential of only 98 mV in 1 M KOH.Density functional theory calculations point to the synergistic effect of Mo2C HNT and NCNS,leading to enhanced electronic transport and suitable adsorption free energies of H*(ΔGH*)on the surface of electroactive Mo2C.More significantly,the MS-assisted synthetic methodology here provides an enormous perspective for the commercial development of highly active non-noble metal electrocatalysts toward efficient hydrogen evolution.

Music-stylized hierarchical dance synthesis with user control

Background Synthesizing dance motions to match musical inputs is a significant challenge in animation research.Compared to functional human motions,such as locomotion,dance motions are creative and artistic,often influenced by music,and can be independent body language expressions.Dance choreography requires motion content to follow a general dance genre,whereas dance performances under musical influence are infused with diverse impromptu motion styles.Considering the high expressiveness and variations in space and time,providing accessible and effective user control for tuning dance motion styles remains an open problem.Methods In this study,we present a hierarchical framework that decouples the dance synthesis task into independent modules.We use a high-level choreography module built as a Transformer-based sequence model to predict the long-term structure of a dance genre and a low-level realization module that implements dance stylization and synchronization to match the musical input or user preferences.This novel framework allows the individual modules to be trained separately.Because of the decoupling,dance composition can fully utilize existing high-quality dance datasets that do not have musical accompaniments,and the dance implementation can conveniently incorporate user controls and edit motions through a decoder network.Each module is replaceable at runtime,which adds flexibility to the synthesis of dance sequences.Results Synthesized results demonstrate that our framework generates high-quality diverse dance motions that are well adapted to varying musical conditions and user controls.

Topology Structure Synthesis and Analysis of Spatial Pyramid Deployable Truss Structures for Satellite SAR Antenna

Many attentions for structural synthesis are paid to planar linkages and parallel mechanisms, while design novel pyramid deployable truss structure（PDTS） of satellite SAR mainly depends on experience of designer. To design novel configuration of PDTS, a two-step topology structure synthesis and analysis approach is proposed. Firstly, a conceptual configuration of PDTS is synthesized. Weighted graph and weighted adjacency matrix are established to realize topological description for PDTS. Graph properties are then summarized to distinguish differentia between PDTS and other type structures. According to graph properties, a procedure for synthesis conceptual configuration of PDTS is presented. Secondly, join relationship of components in a PDTS is analyzed. Kinematic chain and corresponding incidence/adjacency matrix are employed to analyze join relationship of PDTS. Properties and simplified rules of kinematic chain are extracted to construct kinematic chain. A procedure for construction kinematic chain of PDTS is then established. Finally, with this two-step approach all 11 rectangular pyramid deployable structures whose folded state is planar are discovered and their kinematic chains are constructed. Based on synthesis results, a novel deployable support structure for satellite SAR is designed. The proposed research can be applied to obtain some novel PDTSs, which is of great importance to design some novel deployable support structures for satellite SAR antenna.

Structure and synthesis of graphene oxide

Graphene oxide(GO)is one typical two-dimension structured and oxygenated planar molecular material.Researchers across multiple disciplines have paid enormous attention to it due to the unique physiochemical properties.However,models used to describe the structure of GO are still in dispute and ongoing to update.And currently,synthesis methods for mass production are seemingly abundant but in fact,dominated by a few core methodologies.To update with the state-of-art opinions and progresses,herein we present a mini critical review regarding the synthesis of GO as well as its models and simulations of structure.Also,we discuss the perspectives.

Type Synthesis of 1T2R Parallel Mechanisms Using Structure Coupling-Reducing Method

Direct kinematics with analytic solutions is critical to the real-time control of parallel mechanisms.Therefore,the type synthesis of a mechanism having explicit form of forward kinematics has become a topic of interest.Based on this purpose,this paper deals with the type synthesis of 1T2R parallel mechanisms by investigating the topological structure coupling-reducing of the 3UPS&UP parallel mechanism.With the aid of the theory of mechanism topology,the analysis of the topological characteristics of the 3UPS&UP parallel mechanism is presented,which shows that there are highly coupled motions and constraints amongst the limbs of the mechanism.Three methods for structure coupling-reducing of the 3UPS&UP parallel mechanism are proposed,resulting in eight new types of 1T2R parallel mechanisms with one or zero coupling degree.One obtained parallel mechanism is taken as an example to demonstrate that a mechanism with zero coupling degree has an explicit form for forward kinematics.The process of type synthesis is in the order of permutation and combination;therefore,there are no omissions.This method is also appli cable to other configurations,and novel topological structures having simple forward kinematics can be obtained from an original mechanism via this method.
