黄原胶-N-乙烯基吡咯烷酮辐射接枝共聚物的制备及结构特性研究

为提高黄原胶分子的应用性能,以60Co-γ为辐射源,对黄原胶和N-乙烯基吡咯烷酮进行共辐射接枝处理,制备黄原胶-N-乙烯基吡咯烷酮共聚物(XG-g-NVP),并研究反应条件对接枝率和单体利用率的影响及共聚物的结构表征。结果表明,当辐射吸收剂量为10k Gy,黄原胶浓度12g·L-1,NVP/XG质量比8∶1,4-甲氧基酚阻聚剂添加量为NVP单体质量的0.01%时,最佳接枝率为543.3%,单体利用率为67.9%。红外光谱表明接枝反应发生在NVP乙烯基部位,扫描电镜图显示共聚物形貌由片层状逐步过渡到颗粒状;XG-g-NVP的抗高温及抗剪切能力相比黄原胶有所提高,且黏度值在高温、高剪切力时仍保持恒定值,因此,改性后的黄原胶结构及热稳定性提高。通过对黄原胶分子接枝改性,使其具备了更多优良的性能,为改性黄原胶的进一步应用奠定了理论基础。

Viscous warm pressure bulging process of AZ31B magnesium alloy with different ellipticity dies

Based on the bulging principle of different ellipticity dies, the methyl vinyl silicone rubber with excellent thermal stability and heat transfer performance was chosen as the viscous medium. The finite element analysis and experiments of viscous warm pressure bulging （VWPB） of AZ31B magnesium alloy were conducted to analyze the influence of different ellipticity dies on the formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy. At the same time, based on the grid strain rule, the forming limit diagram （FLD） of VWPB of AZ31B magnesium alloy was obtained through measuring the strain of bulging specimens. The results showed that at the temperature range of viscous medium thermal stability, the viscous medium can fit the geometry variation of sheet and generate non-uniform pressure field, and as the die ellipticity increases, the difference value of non-uniform pressure reduces. Meanwhile, according to the FLD, the relationship between part complexity and ultimate deformation was investigated.

A Flexible Valve Based Piezoelectric Pump for High Viscosity Cooling Liquid Transportation

A piezoelectric pump with flexible valve has been developed to pump high viscosity cooling liquid in the nanosats thermal control system. The structure of the flexible valve is designed according to the characteristics of the human aortic shape with the aim to simulate the bionic pumping function of the human heart. Dynamic stress-strain features of the flexible valve are analyzed by the finite element method,and the results show that the proposed flexible valve is suitable and functional for the piezoelectric pump. Then the cylinder and diffuser/nozzle piezoelectric pumps based on flexible valves have been developed and fabricated. Experimental results of the output performance indicate that the maximum flow rate of the cylinder piezoelectric pump with flexible valve is 15.38 mL/min,170.77% higher than the diffuser/nozzle piezoelectric pump with flexible valve. The ability of the cylinder piezoelectric pump with flexible valve for transmitting high viscosity liquid has been validated. The piezoelectric pump with flexible valve has potential applications in the nanosats thermal control system.

Enhancing performance of soil using lime and precluding landslide in Benin(West Africa)

The past decade has been characterized by the development of infrastructure in the main cities in West Africa.This requires more comprehensive studies of geotechnical properties of the soil in the region with an aim of creating sustainable development.This paper examined the performance of the soil in Benin(West Africa).In this research,three objectives have been adopted in-depth on the performance characteristics of West Africans soil and aim to(i)accessing characteristics of soil types in the region;(ii)assessing the performance of these soils with 2%,3%and 5%of lime and(iii)characterizing landslide to evaluate the damage and potential instability.The methods used to examine these objectives are experimental tests according to standard French test.The particle size test,Proctor test,and Atterberg limits test which are physical tests and the mechanical tests such as dynamic penetration test,direct shear test,and oedometer test,were used to assess the first objective.The Proctor test and California bearing ratio test were examined for the second objective and geological,environmental,social and safety study of the river bank slide were evaluated for the third objective.This paper firstly reveals the unstable and stable areas in southern Benin(West Africa)with the presence of clays soil and gives an equation for predicting the unstable and stable area,and secondly shows that the proportion of percentage lime leading to the best performances varying between 2%and 3%.Finally,this paper shows that the sliding of a bank could be the consequence of the sudden receding water recorded in a valley.
