Through specimen preparation, image acquisition, fiber extraction, and measurement of related fiber parameters, quantitative analysis of fiber distribution could be obtained by two parameters, namely dispersion coefficient and orientation factor. Effect of boundaries, size and steel fiber content on fiber distribution was discussed. Results showed that, steel fiber distribution was affected by boundary effect, which would be weakened with the increase of specimen size. If the length and width remained constant, the specimen height had a significant effect on orientation factor of fiber, while its influence on dispersion coefficient was not so obvious. With the increase of steel fiber content, dispersion coefficient decreased slightly, and orientation factor deviated from 0.5.展开更多

Many factors influencing this reaction were studied and three kinds of phenolic emulsifiers were prepared without catalyst in ethanol. The performance was researched that 2-({2-[2-(2-Amino-ethylamino)-ethylamino]-ethyl-amino}-methyl)-4- nonyl-phenol (abbreviated as TETA) could be used in micro-surface. With addition of 0.5 % demulsifier, the mixing time was extended to 120 seconds obviously, and the cohesion torque (60 min) was 2.8 N*m, which satisfied the opening traffic time shorter than 1 h. The wet track abrasion (6 d) was lower than 807 g/m2, with interracial modifier added, but the load wheel was increased with interfacial modifier increasing. When the TETA: demulsifier: interracial modifier =3:1:3, excellent performance was obtained and the experimental results met the International Slurry Surfacing Association (ISSA) standard. The synthesis process of this emulsifier is simple and the performance used in micro-surface was excellent, so this kind of emulsifier could have a better application future.展开更多

Thisreview collects and organizes the latest progress in the field of research on the influencing factors of mechanicalproperties of magnesium phosphate cementitious materials worldwide in recent years, and discusses the possibilitiesof application in airport engineering.The type of phosphate has a great influence on the reaction products, and the strength of the reaction productsof ammonium salt is higher. Borax is the most commonly used retarder, and the retarding effect is related to theratio of boron to magnesium. However, borax retarders have an adverse effect on the strength of MPC. In terms ofthe influence of mineral admixtures on the properties of MPC, fly ash, silica fume and metakaolin, as commonmineral admixtures, have a positive influence on the mechanical properties of MPC, but the mechanism anddegree of the influence of the three materials on the strength of MPC are slightly different;Aggregates can alsoimprove the volume stability and mechanical properties of MPC by forming skeleton structure and slowing downthe exothermic reaction. In fiber reinforced MPC matrix, steel fiber is the most widely used and the bondingperformance between special-shaped steel fiber and MPC matrix is higher than that of straight fiber;basalt fiberhas also been proved to be used to improve the mechanical properties of MPC system.展开更多

The seeded RAFT polymerization undergoes a pseudo-first-order kinetics procedure, and the molecular weight increases with the monomer conversion linearly. The hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) of the triblock copolymer nanoparticles increases with the extension of the PDMAEMA block. In addition, the double thermo-response behavior of the PS-b-PNIPAM-b-PDMAEMA nanoparticles is detected by turbidity analysis, temperature-dependent 1H-NMR analysis, and DLS analysis. The seeded RAFT polymerization is believed as a valid method to prepare triblock copolymer nanoparticles containing two thermo-responsive blocks.展开更多

文摘A fractal model governing saw-tooth fractures was first introduced to replicate sandstone samples containing an inclined 3D penetrating rough fracture surface with various joint roughness coefficients(JRC).In conventional triaxial compression,the peak strength for fractured samples increased with both confining pressure and JRC.During the unloading confining pressure process,the normal stress of fractures declined but the shear stress increased,resulting in shear sliding of fractures.The shear displacement of fractures exponentially increased,and the positive normal displacement decreased gradually to negative values under coupling effects of shear contraction caused by normal stress and shear dilation due to climbing effects of fractures.Transition from quasi-static to dynamic sliding of the fractures was identified.The sliding resistance duration increased with confining pressure but decreased with JRC.After prepeak unloading,the fracture surfaces presented a more significant surface wear response and JRC values decreased by 1.70%–59.20%due to more remarkable asperity degradation compared with those after conventional triaxial compression.The theoretical model for shear strength of fractures was established through improving the Ladanyi&Archambault model by introducing the relations between normal stress and surface wear ratios of fractures,which agreed well with the experimental results.
