The liquid crystal polymers are capable of reversibly assuming optical states of transparent and scattering lights, and allow picture-element display areas in two colors at least to be co mposed on a surface. The picture elements within color areas are selected if they correspond to the color which is the spectral transmission center. A heat is applied such that the maximum haze degree of the selected picture elements is greater than that of picture elements corresponding to any of the other colo rs.展开更多

An efficient extraction route consisting of treatment on serpentinite in 40% HNO3 at 80 ℃followed by NH4OH titration for Mg（OH）2 precipitation was demonstrated. In this study, crystalline Mg（OH）2 nanopowders have been synthesized by solvothermal reaction method using （Mg（NO3）2·6H2O） which were obtained from serpentinite, NH4OH as a precipitator, and hydroxyethylated nonylphenol as surface-active substance. Microstructure and phase composition of samples were investigated employing scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, X-ray phase analysis （XRD）, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy （ICP-OES）. XRD reveals that Mg（OH）2 nanopowder with high purity has the brucite structure. It was found that crystalline Mg（OH）2 nanopowders exclusively consist of lamellar-like structures and the sizes of Mg（OH）2 are 30-265 nm length or width.展开更多

In this work, a theoretical model including flow property of porous media and Reynolds equation is established within a representative region in order to optimize the design parameters of a partial porous air conveyor. With the theoretical model, an optimization method using nondominated sorting genetic algorithm – II(NSGA-II) is applied for a two-objective optimization to achieve a minimum air consumption and maximum load capacity. Three Pareto-optimal solutions are selected to analyze the influence of each parameter on the characteristics of the air conveyor, and the results indicate that the position of the porous pads has the most significant impact on the performance and of course must be determined with care. Furthermore, experimental results in terms of the supporting force versus gap clearance show that the optimized air conveyor can greatly improve the load capacity over the normal one, indicating that the optimization method is applicable for practical use.展开更多

Here, we report a new approach to achieving such a goal by growing CdS quantum dots （QDs） within single crystals of lysozyme protein. This bio-nano hybrid emitted much stronger red fluorescence than its counterpart without the crystal, and such fluorescence properties could be either enhanced or suppressed by the addition of Ag（I） or Hg（II）, respectively. The three-dimensional incorporation of CdS QDs within the lysozyme crystals was revealed by scanning transmission electron microscopy with electron tomography. More importantl~ since our approach did not disrupt the crystalline nature of the lysozyme crystals, the metal and protein interactions were able to be studied by X-ray crystallography, thus providing insight into the role of Cd（II） in the CdS QDs formation.展开更多
