The numerical model allows us to adopt implementations of various boundary conditions as well as the size of delamination. The influence of the shallowness parameter and the thermal resistance is demonstrated. The experimental detection of temperature contours during the cooling process has been conducted at different points in the area surrounding the delamination.","PeriodicalId":55551,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0963693519879699","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45279468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Retarding component sodium gluconate does not play a great role for the grouts with high-volume mineral admixtures. However, the incorporation of borax and sodium tripolyphosphate can greatly improve the properties of the grouts, mainly due to their composite effect. The appropriate compound content is 0.4 wt% borax and 0–0.2 wt% sodium tripolyphosphate of cementitious materials. When 0.4 wt% borax and 0.2 wt% sodium tripolyphosphate were added to the grouts with volume mineral admixtures, initial fluidity and 30-min fluidity are 340 mm, and 1-, 3-, and 28-day compressive strength are, respectively, 41.6, 57.1, and 81.5 MPa.

These materials were prepared in a simplified unconventional route. The carbon phase was generated by direct carbonization of organic surface-active templates, which are used in the synthesis of meso-ordered silicas. The resulting composite materials were characterized in terms of their structure, texture, chemical composition, and surface chemical reactivity. Data obtained demonstrate uniform and ordered porous structures of approximately 70–200 Å, with a developed surface area of approximately 400–500 m2 g−1 and a large total pore volume of approximately 1.0–1.5 cm3 g−1. The potential of synthesized composite materials functionalized by oxygenated groups as adsorbents of cationic dyes was analyzed, the values of the maximum adsorption capacity between 317 mg g−1 and 245 mg g−1 were obtained. The adsorbing properties of silica/carbon composite materials obtained in an unconventional method using an organic template as the only carbon source were compared with the properties of silica/carbon composite materials manufactured by the conventional method using external precursors of the carbon phase. It has been proved that composite materials synthesized using an unconventional procedure, despite the fact that they have a lower carbon phase content, exhibit adsorption properties that are comparable or superior to materials elaborated in the traditional way, removing up to 85–90% of methylene blue from water contaminated with dye.","PeriodicalId":55551,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/2633366X19895993","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49222118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with the face gas film sealing technology, the cylindrical gas film seal presents a strong floating property, which can reduce the vibration and thermal deformation of the rotor system. In this article, the effect of operating parameters such as speed, pressure difference and viscosity on the T-groove gas cylindrical film seal performance are studied in detail by the method of control variable in computational fluid dynamics software, and pressure distribution, gas film stiffness, leakage, leakage stiffness ratio and hydrodynamic force are analysed. Results show that with the increase of the rotational speed, static pressure, hydrodynamic force and film stiffness increase, but leakage decreases first and then increases. Furthermore, the results indicate that with the increase of pressure difference, the static pressure, leakage and hydrodynamic force increase. In addition, the simulations show that when the viscosity increases, the maximum pressure and film stiffness increase, but the leakage decreases. This indicates that as the rotational speed increases, the hydrodynamic effect and the amount of gas overflow in the axial direction increase, resulting in an increase of leakage. Lastly, the results also show that when the pressure difference increases, both the radial and axial gas flow rates increase, resulting in an increase in both the film stiffness and the leakage. With the increase of viscosity, the viscous shear force and fluid hydrodynamic force increase, resulting in the increase of the gas film stiffness.

Discovering the mechanical properties of biological composite structures in the nanoscale is much interesting today. Top neck mollusk shells are among biomaterial nanocomposites that their layered structures are composed of organic and inorganic materials. Since the nanoindentation process is known as an efficient method to determine mechanical properties like elastic modulus and hardness in small scale, therefore, due to some limitations of considering all peripheral parameters, particular simulations of temperature effect in the atomic scale are considerable. The present article provides a molecular dynamics approach for modeling the nanoindentation mechanism with three types of pyramidal, cubic, and spherical indenters at different temperatures of 173, 273, 300, and 373°K. Based on load-indentation depth diagrams and Oliver–Pharr equations, research findings indicate that the temperature has weakened the power between the biological atoms; this leads to reduced mechanical properties. An increase in temperature causes a reduction in elastic modulus and hardness. There was correspondence between the results obtained from the spherical indenter and experimental data. This study can be regarded as a novel benchmark study for further research studies which tend to consider structural responses of the various bio-inspired nanocomposites.","PeriodicalId":55551,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0963693519860162","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47598093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the composite efficacy against cancer cell activity was evaluated by cytotoxicity for malignant cell line HCT116, HepG2, and MCF-7. The cancer cells thrive in an acidic environment and they do not survive in normal or alkaline media. The release of LS was intended at acidic pH, in which, the acidity increased due to the activity of the cancer cells that activate the LS released from the mercerized cotton into the media. Therefore, this release process reduced the activity of cancer cells. The released LS kept cancer cells in a low activity via decreasing acidity.
