In combination with the simulation results of the reflective spectrum and the gain peak at different temperatures, the measurement results have been analyzed. In addition, the dependence of device size on temperature characteristics is discussed. The experimental data can be used to optimally design of VCSEL at high or cryogenic temperature.展开更多

This approach means that it is necessary to continue a continued research and test of new materials in order to apply them in new reactors. In this study, the authors fbcused on the analysis of SiC alloys because, due to their particular properties, this alloy can be used in high temperature conditions where the pure silicon, semiconductor material par excellence, is inadequate to support them.展开更多

TiO2 and Al2O3 were grown by Atomic Layer Deposition method. The prepared film was tested in various gas concentrations at different operating temperatures ranging between 27 ℃ to 177 ℃. The sensitivity increases with increasing gas concentration and operating temperature which have a direct effect on sensing surface. The gas sensing mechanism could be explained with the surface controlled type based on the change of the electrical conductance of the semiconducting material. This mechanism is controlled by CO molecules and the amount of chemisorbed oxygen on the surface which is associated with temperature. Sample exhibits the basic parameters for gas sensors applications which are good stability, reproducibility and high sensitivity to CO gas which are. In addition, the response and recovery times are measured 19 and 26 s, respectively.展开更多

One of the major materials used in construction is concrete and ordinary concrete contains about 12% cement which is a major producer of greenhouse gas in the world. The use of waste materials as partial replacement of cement in concrete reduces greenhouse gases, frees up land fill space, and reduces raw materials consumption. This contributes towards sustainable development, as in a sustainable society, nature is not subject to systematically increasing concentrations of substances extracted from the earth's crust. This research work explores the possibility of replacing some percentage of cement in concrete with marble sludge powder to produce lightweight concrete. This was achieved by determining the compressive strength and some hardened properties of concrete like sorptivity and carbonation with marble sludge. The results so far have been able to prove that lightweight concrete can be produced when some percentage of cement is replaced with this waste.展开更多

The kinetic adsorption of ammonium nitrogen (NH+-N) by CW substrate materials such as blast furnace slag (BFS), zeolite, ceramsite, vermiculite, gravel, paddy soil, red soil, and turf, was investigated using batch experiments and kinetic adsorption isotherms. Both Freundlich and Lang- muir isotherms could adequately predict the NH+-N adsorption process. The maximum adsorption capacities of NH+-N, estimated from the Langmuir isotherm, ranked as: zeolite (33 333.33 mg kg^-1) 〉 turf (29274.01 mg kg^-1) 〉 BFS (5000 mg kg^-1) 〉 vermiculite (3333.33 mg kg^-1) 〉 gravel (769.23 mg kg^-1) 〉 paddy soil (588.24 mg kg^-1) 〉 red soil (555.56 mg kg^-1) 〉 ceramsite (107.53 mg kg^-1). Some properties of the substrate materials, including bulk density, specific gravity, hydraulic conductivity, uniformity coefficient (K60), curvature coefficient (Co), organic matter, pH, exchangeable (or active) Cu, Fe, Zn and Mn, total Cu, and Fe, Mn, Zn, Cd, Pb and Ca, had negative correlations with NH+-N adsorption. Other properties of the substrate materials like particle diameter values of D10, 030 and 060 (the diameters of particle sizes of a substrate material at which 10%, 30% and 60%, respectively, of the particles pass through the sieve based on the accumulative frequency), cation exchange capacity (CEC), exchangeable (or active) Ca and Mg, and total K and Mg had positive correlations with NH+-N adsorption. In addition, active K and Na as well as the total Na had significant positive correlations with NH+-N adsorption. This information would be useful for selection of suitable substrate materials for CWs.展开更多

Supramolecular interactions have been extensively considered in the field of self-healing materials due to their excellent reversibility and sensitive responsiveness to environmental stimuli. However,development of a polymeric material with good mechanical performance as well as self-healing capacity is very challenging. In this study, we report a robust self-healing polyurethane(PU) elastomer polypropylene glycol-2-amino-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-6-methylpyrimidin-4-ol(PPG-mUPy) by integrating ureidopyrimidone(UPy) motifs with a PPG segment with a well-defined architecture and microphase morphology.To balance the self-healing capacity and mechanical performance, a thermal-triggered switch of H-bonding is introduced. The quadruple H-bonded UPy dimeric moieties in the backbone induce phase separation to form a hard domain as well as enable further aggregation into microcrystals by virtue of the stacking interactions, which are stable in ambient temperature. This feature endows the PU with high mechanical strength. Meanwhile, a high healing efficiency can be realized, when the reversibility of the H-bond was unlocked from the stacking at higher temperature. An optimized sample PPG1000-mUPy50%with a good balance of mechanical performance(20.62 MPa of tensile strength) and healing efficiency(93% in tensile strength) was achieved. This strategy will provide a new idea for developing robust self-healing polymers.展开更多
