The source material of the DLC is n-butylamine. The devices consist of indium tin oxide (ITO)/MEH-PPV/DLC/Al. Electron injection properties are investigated through I-V characteristics,and the mechanism of electron injection enhancement due to a thin DLC layer has been studied. It is found that: (1) a DLC layer thinner than 1.0nm leads to a higher turn-on voltage and decreased electroluminescent (EL) efficiency; (2) a 5.0nm DLC layer significantly enhances the electron injection and results in the lowest turn-on voltage and the highest EL efficiency; (3) DLC layer that exceeds 5.0nm results in poor device performance;and(4) EL emission can hardly be detected when the layer exceeds 10.0nm. The properties of ITO/MEH-PPV/DLC/Al and ITO/MEH-PPV/LiF/Al are investigated comparatively.展开更多

High WOB leads to well deviation out of control, and low WOB leads to low rate of penetration (ROP). So considering the rock physical properties, the anisotropy index function of polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit was derived with the structure and cutting performance parameters of the bit, and the effect of natural hole deviation tendencies on the performance of DD-BHA resisting deviation was represented. The concept of elliptic deformation ratio was used to characterize the performance of DD-BHA resisting deviation. Eventually, a model calculating the critical WOB was established. By comparing the model predictions with the measured hole angle changes in the field, the results show that the model predictions are accurate with error less than 5.8%, which can meet the operational requirements in the projects. Furthermore, the model was adopted to justify and guide the operating conditions and parameters during drilling, which shows that the optimum WOB predicted by the model can not only control deviation but also improve ROP effectively. The model is independent on the formation characteristics of blocks, so it can be expanded widely to other oilfields.展开更多

Chitosan of various deacetylation degrees and molecular weights were manually added to cigarette filters in different dosages. The mainstream smoke particulate matter was collected by a Cambridge filter pad, digested by a microwave digestor, and then analyzed for contents of heavy metal ions, including As(Ill/V), Pb(II), Cd(II), Cr(III/VI) and Ni(II), by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). The results showed that chitosan had a removal effect on Pb(II), Cd(II), Cr(III/VI) and Ni(II). Of these, the percent re- moval of Ni(II) was elevated with an increasing dosage of chitosan. Chitosan of a high deace tylation degree exhibited good binding performance toward Cd(II), Cr(III/VI) and Ni(II), though with poor efficiency for Pb(II). Except As(III/V), all the tested metal ions showed similar tendencies in the growing contents with an increasing chitosan molecular weight. Nonetheless, the percent removal of Cr(III/VI) peaked with a chitosan molecular weight of 200 kDa, followed by a dramatic decrease with an increasing chitosan mo- lecular weight. Generally, chitosan had different removal effects on four out of five tested metal ions, and the percent removal of Cd(II), Pb(II), Cr(III/VI) and Ni(II) was approximately 55%, 45%, 50%, and 16%, respectively. In a word, chitosan used in cigarette filter can remove toxic heavy metal ions in the mainstream smoke, improve cigarette safety, and reduce the harm to smokers.展开更多

The infiltration technique was used with an Fe55Ni29Co16 (KOV) alloy as the sintering solvent. The morphology and weight ra- tio of the PDC were investigated through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron dispersion spectroscopy (EDS). Note that the KOV alloy evenly infiltrated throughout the polycrystalline diamond (PCD) layer and WC-Co substrate in a short sintering time due to its low viscosity and high soakage capability. A transition layer confirmed the presence of the M^C phase near the interface of the PDC, which can make the diamond layer and WC-Co substrate combine as a complex material. X-ray diffraction (XRD) performed on the PCD layer confirmed the presence of cubic diamond, WC, cubic CoCx, the high tempera- ture cubic phase of c^-Co, the alloy phase of FeNix, and no graphite phase. Besides, a surface residual stress of the PCD layer, measured with reasonable accuracy using micro-Raman spectroscopy, is found to be a homogeneous compressive stress with an average value of 0.16 GPa, much lower than that of the powders-mixing method.展开更多

This subsequent catalytic process is an efficient strategy for the synthesis of silicon-functionalized polyolefins using widely available and inexpensive starting materials.展开更多

In the PCD layer, the CTE of cobalt exhibit magnitudes four times larger than those of diamond. Cobalt content in the PCD layer has important effects on the thermal residual stress of PDCs. In this work, the effects of cobalt content on thermal residual stress in PCDs were investi- gated by the Finite Element Method (FEM). The simulation results show that the thermal residual stress decreases firstly, and then increases with increasing cobalt content (1 vo1.%-20 vol.%), which reaches a minimum value when the cobalt content is about 10 vol.%. The FEM analysis results are in agreement with our experimental results. It will provide an effective method for further designing and optimizing PDC properties.展开更多

The newly identified cold-compressed graphite phases of M, W and 0 carbon provide a crucial link to understand the graphite-to- diamond phase transformation. We demonstrate by ab initio calculations that pressure has a dual role in lowering the conversion barrier and enhancing the production stability during the first-stage cold-compressed phase conversion of graphite toward the intermediate metastable M, W and 0 carbon phases. However, it has little effect on the relative enthalpy and high conversion barrier during the second-stage conversion process toward the diamond polytypes, showing a temperature dominated conversion process. These results may give explanation regarding the necessity of high pressure and high temperature during the graphite-to- diamond reaction.展开更多
