Understanding polymer transport in nanopores is crucial for optimizing heterogeneously catalyzed processes upcycling and fabricating high-performance nanocomposite films membranes. Although confined dynamics have been extensively studied, the behavior of polyethylene (PE)—the most widely used commodity polymer—in pores smaller than 20 nm remains largely unexplored. We investigate effects extreme nanoconfinement on PE using capillary rise infiltration silica nanoparticle packings with average...
Understanding and modulating the interactions between molten polymers porous solids is important for numerous processes phenomena including catalytic conversion of fabrication nanocomposites nanostructured materials. Although changing surface composition pores would enable modulation nanoporous solids, it challenging to achieve such a control without inducing significant changes size structure nanopores.

Silver nanoparticle (NP) inks have been widely used in the ink-jet printing field because of their excellent properties during low-temperature sintering. However, organic dispersant to prevent aggregation and sedimentation NPs can hinder sintering process result high resistivity sintered films. In this study, silver thin films derived from NP ink with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were different atmospheres pure nitrogen, air, oxygen. The effect oxygen content atmosphere on thermal ink,...
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) has played a more and significant role in safely driving nowadays. Low power consumption excellent accuracy are two of the most important parameters. In this paper, with status judgment low-power measurement is designed realized. A vibration switch applied to judge different running stopping. Based on status, pressure temperature, operations will be carried out order achieve lower consumption. The whole system working intermittently. It good performance...
This paper investigates the high frequency response of Mirnov probe based on a test platform, which is capable generating uniform AC magnetic field within range 1–300 kHz.
