    Based on the riblet geometry of bird flight feather or tail feather, a kind of film with rule micron-scale riblets was manufactured using hot wheel pressing technique and significant drag reduction was obtained through wind tunnel tests. In this paper, effect of smooth surface and riblet surface on skin friction was studied through establishing numerical model and revealed that the microvertex induced inside the riblets was the main factor resulting in the drag reduction effect of bionic film which changed along with the wall shear stress and pressure distribution. Results indicated: it was a contradiction relationship between the reduced viscous friction and the increased pressure drag affecting the skin friction reduction of bionic film. But, we achieved the minimum pressure drag and maximum drag reduction through the optimized riblet geometry.

    A series of polyborosilazanes(PBSZ) were prepared from dichloromethylvinylsilane by hydroboration, ammonolysis polycondensation and thermopolymerization. The polyborosilazanes have weight-average molecular weights (MW) of 9.0×104-2.6×105. The real boron contents of the polyborosilazanes are 2.59%-9.92%(ω) determinated by modified curcumin spectrophotometric method. The structures of the polyborosilazanes were characterized by FT-IR and 1H NMR. The high boron contents polyborosilazanes have linear structures and low boron contents polyborosilazanes have star structures. PBSZ with linear structures are soluble in common organic solvents such as THF, toluene, ethyl acetate, trichloromethane, absolute alcohol and so on whereas star PBSZ are insoluble. The thermal properties of the polyborosilazanes and self-made polysilazanes were contrastive tested by TGA. The results showed that the mass loss of the polyborosilazanes at 1 350-1 500 ℃ were 0%-0.09% whereas the mass loss of the polysilazanes were 0.73%. It revealed that quaternary system Si-B-C-N ceramics derived from the polyborosilazanes had better high-temperature stability than ternary system Si-C-N ceramics.

    Polypyrrole-carboxylated chitosan composite was prepared in situ in an aqueous solution of carboxylated chitosan and p-toluene sulfonic acid using FeCl3 as the oxidizing agent. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) indicated that graft reaction took place between CCS and PPy to afford the PPy-CCS composite. The structure and morphology of the resulting composite were investigated using X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscope(SEM). It was discovered that the interplanar spacing increased gradually and the particle size decreased significantly with increasing the CCS content. Quantitative PPy-CCS composites (0.5wt%) were dispersed in epoxy resin. The influence of the composite on the anti-corrosion property of epoxy resin coating was studied by means of electrochemical workstation. The results indicate that PPy-CCS composite can markedly reduce the corrosion current of epoxy resin coating and improve its anti-corrosion property. More CCS content facilitates dispersion of the composite in epoxy resin and film formation on the surface of metal, thus further improving the anti-corrosion property of epoxy resin coating.

    Magnesium and Magnesium alloys are considered to have wide developmental foreground due to their good biocompatibility and degradability, they would partially replace stainless steel, titanium alloys and other traditional medical metal materials, and the secondary surgery can be effectively avoided. However, the biggest problem of magnesium alloys as biomaterial is high corrosion rate and low mechanical properties, which badly confines their application in clinic. Hydroxyapatite (HA) was coated on surfaces of MgZnSrLa alloys by biomimetic technique, and the coatings were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The corrosion properties of MgZnSrLa alloys with and without coating were researched by immersion corrosion and electrochemical corrosion tests in simulated body fluid (SBF). The results show that the MgZnSrLa alloy with coating exhibits better corrosion properties than without coating in SBF.

The results show that the spectrum from blue LED chip decreased gradually and disappeared, 4CzTPN-Bu phosphors spectrum gradually strengthen with the increase of mass fraction 4CzTPN-Bu, and when the mass fraction of 4CzTPN-Bu is 7%, the Forster energy transfer from blue chips to 4CzTPN-Bu is the most complete. In terms of light efficiency, with the increase of mass fraction, the device of light efficiency decreases after increasing first, up to maximum, then decreased. The occurrence of this process is mainly because there is t competition between he excited level of phosphors and the loss in the process of energy transfer. When 4CzTPN-Bu mass fraction increases, the color coordinates range from the blue, blue purple, red blue to the pure red, and color purity of the full red device reached 99.8%.

    The lightweight concrete (LC) specimens were prepared using the method of chemical foaming in situ. In the foaming process, the H2O2 was used as foaming agent, the coarser and fine expanded perlites were used as lightweight aggregate and as carrier for H2O2 respectively, and the gelatin was used as foam stabilizer. The foaming reaction of H2O2 was taken place after it was being charged into carriers and the charged carriers were mixed into the mortar previously. The mortar was enclosed by the lightweight aggregates in fresh concrete. The properties of the resulting LC specimens were characterized systemically. It was found that the adding amount of 1.5wt% foam stabilizer had the promising stabilization for the foam formed in situ, which resulted in the bubbles with 0.5-1 mm diameter in homogeneous distribution. The bulk densities (BD) of resulting LC specimens were decreased with the increasing of the adding amount of foaming agent, and increased with the adding amount of foam stabilizer. For the resulting LC specimens with foam stabilizer amount of 1.5wt%, their 28 d compressive strengths (CS) and thermal conducting coefficients (TCC) were decreased with the increase of the amount of foaming agent. Among them, the resulting LC specimen with foaming agent of 1.4wt% had the 28 d CS of 21 MPa and the BD of 940 kg/m3. As compared with that of the resulting LC specimen without foaming agent, its specific strength value was improved by 14% and its TCC was decreased by 13%, respectively.

    The influence of heating rates and MnO2 additives on early-stage sintering behavior to synthesize NiFe2O4 has been investigated. The results show that lower heating rates can produce more obvious shrinkage. Introduction of MnO2 can shift the onset of sintering toward lower temperatures. The early-stage sintering of NiO-Fe2O3 system is mainly controlled by grain boundary diffusion. For MnO2-doped samples, the early-stage sintering mechanisms are controlled by volume diffusion. The apparent activation energy of these doped samples decreased obviously, and for the 1.0wt% MnO2-doped sample, apparent activation energy decreased from 813.9 to 441.9 kJ/mol.

Then the geometry optimization, phonon spectra and the thermodynamic properties are calculated and analyzed. The following conclusions are obtained. Thermodynamic instability of copper oxide is mainly dominated by the oxygen atom. The thermodynamic properties of monoclinic copper oxide is dominated by the copper atom and oxygen atom in both low temperature and high temperature. But the thermodynamic properties of cubic copper oxide is dominated by the copper atom in low temperature, and it is dominated by the oxygen atom in high temperature. The thermodynamic properties of two kinds of structural copper oxide are dominated by calculation of phonon density. The thermodynamic temperature of the phase transition between the monoclinic crystal and the cubic copper oxide crystal is 1 013.28 K.

    Aiming at the phenomenon on the hysteresis nonlinearity of giant magnetostrictive actuator (GMA), based on the classical Jiles-Atherton model, a hysteresis nonlinear model is establised containing bias magnetic field intensity and preloading stress of GMA. The law of GMA magnetization curves and magnetostrictive strain curves are obtained respectively about bias magnetic field intensity and preloading stress by numerical simulation analysis. Analysis results show that magnetization curve and magnetostrictive strain curve are influenced greatly by the bias magnetic field intensity at shape, and that the linear range of the magnetization curve can be changed and the frequency doubling effect of magnetostrictive strain curve can be restrained or eliminated by adjusting the size of the bias magnetic field intensity, and that the magnetization curve and magnetostrictive strain curve shape are affected by preloading stress, and that with the increase of preloading stress, the rate of change of magnetization curve and magnetostrictive strain curve are increasing and the amplitude were reduced slowly. The hysteresis nonlinearity model is reasonable beacuse these conclusions are consistent with the experiments.

    Bulk nanoporous copper (BNPC) with different morphology was synthesized through chemical dealloying of nanocrystalline Al-Cu alloys prepared by mechanical alloying combining with spark plasma sintering. The effect of the composition on phases of precursor alloys, as well as microstructure and mechanical properties of BNPC, was investigated. The results show that when the proportion of copper in alloys is low, the alloys comprise of α-Al and Al2Cu phase. However, with the increase of copper, the contents of α-Al decrease and finally the precursor alloy which simply contains Al2Cu phase can be formed. After dealloying, we found the bimodal pore structures gradually become uniform and interconnected because of the increase of copper. Moreover, uniaxial compression tests of bulk nanoporous copper were investigated. With the increase of Cu atom fraction in precursor alloy, the compression properties of bulk samples improved dramatically.

    The authors studied the influences of Halogen-free flame retardant to elastic ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foaming material, especially its flame retardant properties. Three types of flame retardants were investigated: magnesium hydroxide (MH), aluminum hydroxide (ATH), and red phosphorus. The results showed that, individually, each of the flame retardant improved the flame retardant properties of EVA foaming material, to various degrees.However, none of the flame retardant by itself provided adequate improvement. On the other hand, by compounding MH, ATH and red phosphorus together, the flame retardant properties were improved significantly. The best improvement was achieved with the following combination: MH 32.1%, ATH 10.7% and red phosphorus 5%. The corresponding properties of the resulting EVA foaming material were: Coefficient of Thermal Conductivity: 0.079 W/(m·K); the limit oxygen index (LOI): 34.5%; the vertical burning level:V-O; the horizontal burning level: HB. In summary, the resulting EVA foaming material meets the burning level requirements B1 for insulation materials, while at the same time resolved the brittleness issue of EVA foaming materials.

    Twice zinc dipping is the pretreatment process for electroplating the pure aluminum and alloys. If alkali erosion of Al is not suitable, it has a negative effect on the zincking, even subsequent electroplating process of the Al substrate. After etching in the NaOH aqueous solutions with different concentrations and secondary zinc dipping, surface morphologies of the pure Al substrates and the Zn layer were observed. And thus, the quality of the Cu plating layer on the Al substrate is also evaluated. The results show that big and deep corrosion holes are formed on the Al substrate surface, especially at the Al boundaries, when etching in the 20 g/L NaOH aqueous solution for 1 min. These holes can not be filled by the Zn deposited particles in the secondary zinc dipping process. However, as the concentration of the NaOH solution decreased to 5 g/L, the holes on Al substrate surface are smaller and more shallow than the former, when the Al substrate dipping in the solution for the same time. Roughness of the etched surface is modest, which is beneficial to the secondary zinc dipping of the Al substrate. The Zn layer has a coverage ratio more than 95%, and the electroplating Cu layer on it is very fine.

    In this article, SiO2@Ag@Cu and SiO2@Ag@Cu2O composite core-shell structure is synthesized by electroless plating a Cu2O or Cu shell on the powder of SiO2@Ag, where the basic SiO2@Ag is fabricated through the silver plating on different sizes of silica templates. It is found that the changes of parameters like pH value and reducing agent addition rate can regulate and control the outmost shell phase: the Cu2O shell is appreciable when pH maintains between 10-11 with lower reducing agent addition rate, while higher pH and addition rate of reducing agent will result in a shell mainly composed of Cu.

    In this work, the monodispered spherical silicon dioxide particles have been prepared through the traditional sol-gel process with ammonia as catalyst and with TEOS as silica source in anhydrous ethanol. The influences of various reaction conditions involving TEOS concentration, ammonia concentration and water concentration on the particle size and morphology have been investigated through the field emission scanning electron microscope. Experimental results show that the diameter of the spherical SiO2 particle increases with the increase of TEOS concentration and ammonia concentration and decreases with the increase of deionized water concentration. Besides, the higher temperature reduced agglomeration significantly and aging time influenceagglomeration. However, the agglomeration due to aging is reversible through agitation in ultrasonic set-up. The formation mechanism of silicon dioxide particles under different reaction conditions has been discussed. Finally, the agglomeration due to the high surface energy and poor stability of the nano-SiO2 particles is analyzed employing DLVO theory and the preliminary solution is proposed.

    A series of ZnS thin films were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition on c-sapphire using a ZnS target, and characterized by X-ray diffraction in terms of the crystal structure and orientation with respect to the substrate. Firstly, we have investigated the growth temperature effects on the quality of ZnS films in the temperature range of 400-750 ℃. It was found that all ZnS thin films have a wurtzite structure, and the crystalline quality of the ZnS films improves with increasing deposition temperature. The highest quality ZnS films were obtained at 750 ℃, which show epitaxial relationship with the substrate as ZnS(001)∥Al2O3(001) and ZnS(110)∥Al2O3(110). Then we grew ZnS films with ZnO buffer layers deposited at different time (1, 2 and 3 min) and fixed temperature of 750 ℃. The results suggest that applying a ZnO buffer layer can effectively improve the crystal quality of ZnS films. In particular, the ZnS film grown with a 2min-deposited ZnO buffer layer exhibits a rocking curve half width of (002) plane as small as 1.35°. These results are of importance when considering ZnS films for making ZnS related optoelectronic devices.

    Ag2S/Bi2S3 composite powders with spherical structure was synthesized successfully by hydrothermal method and then pressed into bulk by spark plasma sintering technique. The crystalline structure and morphology of the powder was determined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of Ag2S content on the Ag2S/Bi2S3 composite thermoelectric properties was investigated systematically. The thermoelectric performance results showed that the Seebeck coefficients of all the Ag2S/Bi2S3 samples were negative, which indicated that the composites were n-type semiconductors. Appropriate Ag2S added in Bi2S3 could not only reduce the thermal conductivity, but also enhanced the electrical conductivity. The maximal ZT of Bi2S3 with 3% Ag2S was 0.29 at 724 K, which is twice than that of the pure Bi2S3.
