Microwave heating technique and conventional heating method were applied for the heating treatment process. It was found that, compared with conventional heating method, microwave heating technique could enhance the crystallinity of Si C ceramic material with small grain size at much lower curing temperature and within shorter time. In addition, the SiO_2 additive could lead to less α-Si C and excess carbon, but worsen the crystallinity of β-Si C in the final samples.展开更多

Their structures were characterized by1H-NMR, IR and elemental analysis. Their phase behaviors were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized microscopy. Results showed that these four organosilane compounds were all liquid crystalline and longer spacer was advantageous to orientation of organosilane heterocycle and cholesteryl group.展开更多

Their chemical structures were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, and elemental analysis, Their phase behaviors were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, optical polarizing microscope, and X ray diffraction techniques. The results show that all these polysiloxanes except PⅤ display smectic or nematic mesonorphism or both. The dependence of phase transition temperature on the rigidity of mesogenic unit. the length of spacer group, and the flexibility of Si(CH 3) 2O chain is also described.展开更多

The global existence of strong solutions is obtained by the standard energy method under the condition that the initial data are close to the constant equilibrium state in H2-framework. If the initial datas in Ll-norm are finite additionally, the optimal time decay rates of strong solutions are established. With the help of Fourier splitting method, one also establishes optimal time decay rates for the higher order spatial derivatives of director.展开更多

The results revealed that LCs at interface can influence the lateral ordering of amphiphiles. Particularly, the amphiphile tails along with perpendicularly penetrated LCs between tails undergo a two-dimension phase transition from liquid-expanded into a liquid-condensed phase as their area density at interface reaches 0.93. While, the liquid-condensed phase of the monolayer never appears at oil/water interface with isotropic shape oil particles. These findings reveal the penetration of anisotropic LC can promote ordered lateral organization of amphiphiles. Moreover, we find the phase transition point is shifted to lower surface coverage of amphiphiles when the LCs have larger affinity to the amphiphile tails.展开更多
