In order to specifically support the technology trend of increased miniaturization of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices, highly porous ZrCoCe non-evaporable getter (NEG) film has been produced by DC magnetron sputtering from a preformed ZrCoCe alloy target. The porous film is composed of...

This paper presents the results of investigations recently done by our research group that improve the properties stability of GMI sensors by exploring the giant magneto-impedance (GMI) and the GMI-hysteresis of Co67Fe4.5Cu1Si12.5B15 amorphous thin strips, which was the most promising soft magnetic material...

Research and development of fast, economic and effective controlling method and theory of engineering has always been the focus of engineering construction for all the countries. In this research, a kind of Ionic Soil Stabilizer (ISS for short) is used to improve expansive soil. Based on expansive soil...

The effect of detergents on the quality of fresh-cut mint was evaluated. The acidic electrolyzed water and sodium hypochlorite extended the shelf life of the fresh-cut mint to 12 d and maintained its flavor. The Sodium hypochlorite treatments avoid the loss of the greenness of the mint. Hence, the sodium...

Halogen-free flame retarded expanded polystyrene (EPS) foams were prepared in this work. The effect of two kinds of aluminum phosphinates, i.e. diethyl aluminum phosphinate (DEAP) and diisobutyl aluminum phosphinate (DIAP), and their combination with expandable graphite (EG) on mechanical, flame retardant...

NASICON structured Li1+xAlxZr2-x(PO4)3 have been studied to replace LAGP and LATP in this paper. The effects of both annealing temperature and Al doping were investigated. Both the annealing temperature and Al doping exhibited an optimal value, which is 1100oC and 0.3, respectively. The doping of Al...

The cellulose grafted copolymer was synthesized with 2-(Dimethylamino)ethylmethacrylate(DMAEMA) onto the sugarcane bagasse under microwave irradiation in homogeneous media. A homogeneous solution was obtained through dissolving cellulose in 1-butyl-3-methylinidazolium chloride ionic liquid which the...

Lightweight partition board is a newly developed thermal insulation wall material which is mainly composed of lightweight aggregate like ceramisite, glass beads and so on. In this paper ,we prepare it through extrusion molding process which is highly mechanized to save resources and improve productivity....

Using superfine sand as the main raw material and the superfine sand concrete without coarse aggregate was made by method of semi-dry moulding in this paper. The compressive, splitting tensile and immersion strength of the concrete material was studied to determine the influence of mix proportion of...

Safety and health of workers associated with the presence of solid aerosols in welding must be continuously monitored. The solid aerosols in the work environment and other factors are currently the serious problem of most workplaces not only in the European Union. Due to this fact is every profession...

Corrosion failure of the stainless steel tube was analyzed through the methods of field investigation, chemical composition and metallographic analysis, tensile test, surface morphology and micro elements analysis. The quality accords with the standard of ASTM A688, and the stainless steel tube corrosion...

This paper aims to determine the stresses and strains that can occur in the high density polyethylene pipes when they vertically come under the force of a mechanic squeeze off tool in order to close the natural gas pipelines to conduct under pressure couplings.

A series of phosphotungstic acid and phosphomolybdic acid loaded CdS composites (HPW/CdS and HPMo/CdS) were prepared by impregnation method, and then characterized by FT-IR, XRD and TEM. The influences of different loading amounts on degradation rate of Safranine T under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation...

The rapid development of the large steel structure brings a great opportunity for steelmaking industry. The steel plates not only have the strength and toughness but also can withstand the high energy input welding. Using the calcium oxide of high melting-point and high stability to pin the grain boundaries...

A new technology to obtain a fine-structured and high-toughness HAZ of HSLA steel for high heat input welding is developed using metallurgical thermodynamics, physical chemistry of metallurgy and material processing methods synthetically in this study. The thermal stability second phase particles which...

CMG software was used to build an ideal model whose size ratio is 1:1:0.1, there are three completely closed interlayers whose dip angle is 10o in the upper model, and the lower model is connected horizontal layer. The thickness ratio between the upper model with the lower model is 2:1, and the permeability...

According to the characteristics of fractal and distributed resistance of the condenser tube-bundle area, a porous medium model with three kinds of porosity is established based on the steam exhaust flow in the tube-bundle, and the changes of kinetic pressure and flow of steam exhaust around the inlet...

A previous study showed a developed mathematical model could describe the transport of perchloroethylene (PCE) in the simulating column. This study tried to use the model to predict the transport of pollutant in low organic carbon content aquifer. The results told that the concentration variation characteristics...

The effects of different concentrations of cadmium (Cd) on the growth physiological parameters of industrial hemp, including growth, the photosynthetic characteristics, the chlorophyll fluorescence and so on, were studied with hydroponic greenhouse experiments. The results showed that with the increase...

Silk/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blend fabric as a new textile material must be subjected to heat setting treatment. Heat setting can increase the dimensional stability of the fabric, remove the wrinkle marks of the fabric formed in earlier processing, and fix the fabric width, but it also can cause the...

Silk/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blend fabric is a new textile material, and it suffers from hardening in the process of wet and dry heat treatment. Softening treatment usually becomes a required process to compensate the loss of softness. In this work, the softeners having different chemical structures...
