At the microscopic scale, the porous two-phase physical model is established, and the dielectric model of the material is constructed on this basis. In order to verify the dielectric model, 40 groups of nonaqueous reactive polyurethane specimens with different densities were designed and prepared in this paper. The dielectric permittivity was measured by a vector network analyzer (VNA) with an open coaxial probe within the frequency range of 1050 MHz~5010 MHz for the first time, and the dielectric properties and influencing factors were revealed according to the test data. The result shows that the dielectric permittivity of nonaqueous reactive polyurethane materials increases with the increase of density, and decreases slightly with the increase of frequency. Compared with the three models of the Rule of Mixture, Clausius-Mossotti Model and Lichtenecker Model, the calculation accuracy of the Maxwell-Garnett Model is higher, and the calculation results are more consistent with the experimental results of nonaqueous reactive polyurethane grouting materials. The experimental results can be applied to the nondestructive testing of polyurethane grouting materials and provide reference and basis for the quality evaluation of polymer structures.","PeriodicalId":7372,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Polymer Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48420194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored the grounding characteristics and temperature field distribution of mining tires during driving as well as the relationships between the maximum temperature and tire inflation pressure, load, and speed. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional finite element models of mine tires were established. Steady-state rolling simulation analysis was conducted based on inflation and static load simulations. Temperature field simulation analysis was conducted with the tire section as a research object. The accuracy of the finite element model was verified. Analysis results demonstrated that the grounding contact area decreased with an increase in charging pressure and increased with an increase in load. With an increase in inflation pressure, the maximum normal grounding stress increased in the middle part of the tread and decreased near the shoulder. The maximum normal grounding stress continuously deviated in the shoulder direction with an increase in load. Temperature field analysis indicated that the tire had the maximum temperature at the binder position, where the first belt layer was connected to the second belt layer, which corresponds to the maximum stress position in the steady-state rolling simulations. Tire temperature increased with driving speed. The maximum temperature increased with an increase in tire deflection, whereas the deflection decreased with an increase in inflation pressure and increased with an increase in load. Speed had the greatest influence on the maximum temperature, followed by load, with inflation pressure having the smallest influence. The results of this research can be used to improve the service life of mine tires to improve productivity and reduce costs.","PeriodicalId":7372,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Polymer Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47099099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The diffusion into relatively small diameter CFRP tendons can be a lengthy process so the prediction of the long-term moisture uptake using short-term experiments on thin films of epoxy would be advantageous. However, the fibre inclusions within a composite introduce complexities, and factors are typically required for correlation with pure epoxy specimens. Diffusion parameters based on moisture uptake result from CFRP tendons exposed to salt water solution at 20°C and 60°C are compared with those obtained using equivalent thin film specimens. The higher temperature is selected to accelerate the moisture uptake. It is found that the measured ratios of tendon and epoxy diffusivity were temperature dependent, and the combination of the higher temperature and salt solution leads to an increased propensity for moisture uptake in the tendon. Existing analytical models to predict the CFRP tendon diffusivity from that of a thin film of epoxy did not appear to capture the observed trends. However, predictions using a unit cell with a fibre interface zone suggest that this may be due to an increased diffusivity in the interphase region.","PeriodicalId":7372,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Polymer Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47116268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed method utilizes the gated recurrent unit neural network to learn and predict the optimal time series control process data produced by the traditional model predictive controller. The benefits of this approach over the conventional optimization method are illustrated through simulation results, which show that the convergent DL-based controller can effectively avoid the complex calculation in the control process of IMMs and meet the requirements of more robustness and resist environmental uncertainty to a certain level and can be potentially implemented in embedded hardware much more efficiently and conveniently with a smaller memory footprint and faster computation time.","PeriodicalId":7372,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Polymer Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41819784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tizazu","doi":"10.1155/2022/9741080","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/9741080","url":null,"abstract":"This paper focuses on the effect of degree of polymerization (N), density (\u0000 \u0000 σ\u0000 \u0000 ), and pattern size (\u0000 \u0000 x\u0000 \u0000 ) on the interaction force between a periodically patterned Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) brush and protein. The hydrophobic interaction, the Van der Waals attractive force, and the steric repulsive force were expressed in terms of \u0000 \u0000 N\u0000 \u0000 , \u0000 \u0000 σ\u0000 \u0000 , and \u0000 \u0000 x\u0000 \u0000 . The osmotic constant (k1) and the entropic constant (k2) were determined from the fit of the steric repulsive force to an experimentally obtained force distance curve. The osmotic constant was 0.105, and the entropic constant was 0.255. Using these constants, the steric repulsive force was plotted as a function of the separation distance(s) between the substrate and the protein. The forces were determined at a separation distance equal to 0.3 nm, where L0 is the equilibrium thickness of the PNIPAM brush. At this separation distance, the value of the steric repulsive force was much higher than the value of the sum of the hydrophobic interaction and the Van der Waals attractive force for large degree of polymerization (\u0000 \u0000 N\u0000 >\u0000 100\u0000 \u0000 ) and density (\u0000 \u0000 σ\u0000 >\u0000 0.2\u0000 \u0000 chains/nm2). However, the repulsive force was comparable to the sum of the hydrophobic interaction and the Van der Waals attractive force for a small degree of polymerization (\u0000 \u0000 N\u0000 <\u0000 100\u0000 \u0000 ) and density (\u0000 \u0000 σ\u0000 =\u0000 0.2\u0000 \u0000 ). Furthermore, the steric repulsive force was plotted as a function of pattern size \u0000 \u0000 x\u0000 \u0000 . The plot indicated that the steric repulsive force becomes nearly zero for all degrees of polymerization and density when the value of the initiator structure size was less than 200 nm. In addition to the steric repulsive force, the lateral extension of the chains in the periodically patterned PNIPAM brush was calculated by scaling low and compared with the experimental data taken from previously published literatures. The polymer brush structure was modelled as if the immediate bare substrate is so wide that even a stretched polymer segment cannot reach to the next polymer brush structure. In such models, the value of the lateral extension was equal to the thickness of the homogenous brush. It was independent of the pattern size. However, when the polymer brush structure was modelled as if there is another polymer brush structure at a distance half of the size of the period, the lateral extension was found to be dependent on the size of the initiator structure size due to chain bridging. This was witnessed by the patterning of polymer brushes using the interferometric patterning of PNIPAM brushes and an atomic force microscopy imaging of the polymer brush structures both in air and in water. The polymer brush structure resolution in water was much lower than the resolution in air, which indicates the lateral extension of the polymer chains in water.
