Effect of carbon black on properties of 0–3 piezoelectric ceramic/cement composites

Huang Shifeng,Li Xue,Liu Futian,Chang Jun,Xu Dongyu,Cheng Xin 한국물리학회 2009 Current Applied Physics Vol.9 No.6

0–3 cement-based piezoelectric composites were fabricated using sulphoaluminate cement and piezoelectric ceramic [0.08Pb(Li1/4Nb3/4)O3 . 0.47PbTiO3 . 0.45PbZrO3] [P(LN)ZT] as raw materials by compressing technique. The influences of carbon black content on the piezoelectric and dielectric properties, electric conductivity and impedance were investigated. The results indicate that the piezoelectric strain constant d33 and piezoelectric voltage constant g33 of the composites increase gradually with a suitable carbon black addition. When the carbon black content is 0.3 wt%, both of the piezoelectric strain constant d33 and piezoelectric voltage constant g33 of the composite exist the maximum value, which are 17.45 pC N-1 and 36.3 mV m N-1, respectively. As the carbon black content increases, the dielectric constant εr, dielectric loss tanδ and electric conductivity σ of the composites all increase, while the impedance decreases. In the frequency range tested, the more the carbon black content, the higher the εr value. The planar electromechanical coupling coefficient Kp, the thickness electromechanical coupling coefficient Kt and the mechanical quality factor Qm are almost unaffected by the carbon black content.

Li, Shifeng,Shen, Yanming,Liu, Dongbin,Fan, Lihui,Wu, Keke Korean Chemical Society 2014 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.35 No.2

New organic-inorganic composite of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone (BP-1) encapsulation into dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS) modified layered double hydroxide (LDH) was successfully prepared. The surface, structural, thermal and absorption properties of the BP-1/DBS-LDH nanohybrid was characterized by BET analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and diffuse reflectance UV-Vis absorbance spectra (DRUV-vis). The interlayer configuration of composite and the adsorption mechanism of BP-1 on MgAl-DBS-LDH were discussed. It was suspected that DBS anions located in the form of monolayer arrangement with a $75^{\circ}$ anti parallel angle between dodecylbenzenesulfonate chain axis. The diffuse reflectance UV-Vis absorbance results revealed that the UV absorbing wavelength of BP-1/DBS-LDH evidently extends to about 400 nm, which shows that the BP-1/DBS-LDH has the potential application as a UV absorber.

Shifeng Li,Yanming Shen,Min Xiao,Dongbin Liu,Lihui Fan,Keke Wu 한국공업화학회 2014 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.20 No.4

Zn/Al-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) containing the organic anion of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone-5-sulfonate (DHBS) have been synthesized by co-precipitation method. Surface, structural, thermal and absorption properties of the ZnAl-DHBS-LDHs nanohybrids were characterized by BET analysis, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis and UV–visible spectroscopy. The results revealed that organic UV absorbent-DHBS has been intercalated into the interlayer spaces of ZnAl-LDHs and the intercalation of DHBS in LDHs interlayer galleries resulted to higher thermal stability and better UV absorption ability; these show that the hybrid ZnAl-DHBS-LDHs phase has potential applications as a UV absorber.

Silencing of Long Non-Coding RNA MALAT1 Promotes Apoptosis of Glioma Cells

Jianping Xiang,Shifeng Guo,Shuling Jiang,Yuelong Xu,Jiwei Li,Li Li,Jinyu Xiang 대한의학회 2016 Journal of Korean medical science Vol.31 No.5

The metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcription 1 (MALAT1) is a highly conserved long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene. However, little is known about the pathological role of lncRNA MALAT1 in glioma. In the present study, we explored the expression level of lncRNA MALAT1 in primary glioma tissues as well as in U87 and U251 glioma cell lines. Using qRT-PCR, we found that the expression of lncRNA MALAT1 was significantly increased in glioma tissues compared with that of paracancerous tissues. Meanwhile, the expression of MALAT1 was highly expressed in U98 and U251 cells. In order to explore the function of MALAT1, the expression of MALAT1 was greatly reduced in U87 and U251 cells transfected with siRNA specifically targeting MALAT1. Consequently, cell viability of U87 and U251 cells were drastically decreased after the knockdown of MALAT1. Concomitantly, the apoptosis rate of the two cell lines was dramatically increased. Furthermore, the expression levels of some tumor markers were reduced after the knockdown of MALAT1, such as CCND1 and MYC. In summary, the current study indicated a promoting role of MALAT1 in the development of glioma cell.

Juan Zhang,Shifeng Li 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2020 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.18 No.7

In the paper, we apply a structure-preserving doubling algorithm to solve the continuous coupled algebraic Riccati equation (CCARE). Using the existence and uniqueness of the CCARE, we show that the iteration solution of the CCARE are positive semi-definite, symmetric, and unique. Further, we discuss the convergent analysis of the structure-preserving doubling algorithm. Moreover, we present two modified structure-preserving doubling algorithms. Finally, we offer corresponding numerical examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the derived numerical algorithms.

Research on self-propulsion simulation of a polar ship in a brash ice channel based on body force model

Xie Chang,Zhou Li,Ding Shifeng,Lu Mingfeng,Zhou Xu 대한조선학회 2023 International Journal of Naval Architecture and Oc Vol.15 No.-

Main engine power prediction is important for polar ships operating in brash ice channels, which is one of the most important concerns of shipowners. Self-propulsion simulation is an efficient method to predict the developed power. At present, such models as the discretized propeller model (DPM) and the body force model (BFM) are used for self-propulsion simulation. However, these models are often limited to open water. There is little research on self-propulsion calculations in ice-infested water. This paper presents the BFM to carry out selfpropulsion simulations in a brash ice channel. Research on simulation strategy for open water performance based on the BFM is carried out. Ship–ice–water interactions are simulated using computational fluid dynamicsdiscrete element method (CFD-DEM) coupling method. Both loaded and ballast conditions are considered in the model-scale self-propulsion simulations. Numerical results based on the BFM are compared with the simulation results based on the DPM, as well as model test results. Ship–propeller–ice interactions and propeller suction effects are also compared with photographs taken at an ice tank test. The results show that the differences of the developed power based on the BFM for both loaded and ballast conditions are 8.94% and 15.25%, respectively. The prediction accuracies of the developed power based on the BFM for both loaded and ballast conditions are 1.56% and 7.01%, respectively; lower than those based on the DPM. However, the computation efficiency based on the BFM is 12 times higher than that based on the DPM. To conclude, the proposed BFM could be used as an effective means to calculate the developed power and to evaluate the trend of hull-line optimization at the development stage.

The m6A reader IGF2BP3 promotes acute myeloid leukemia progression by enhancing RCC2 stability

Zhang Nan,Shen Yan,Li Huan,Chen Ying,Zhang Ping,Lou Shifeng,Deng Jianchuan 생화학분자생물학회 2022 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.54 No.-

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant posttranscriptional modification of mRNA in eukaryotes. Recent evidence suggests that dysregulated m6A-associated proteins and m6A modifications play a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of diseases such as cancer. Here, we identified that IGF2BP3 is specifically overexpressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a subtype of leukemia associated with poor prognosis and high genetic risk. IGF2BP3 is required for maintaining AML cell survival in an m6A-dependent manner, and knockdown of IGF2BP3 dramatically suppresses the apoptosis, reduces the proliferation, and impairs the leukemic capacity of AML cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, IGF2BP3 interacts with RCC2 mRNA and stabilizes the expression of m6A-modified RNA. Thus, we provided compelling evidence demonstrating that the m6A reader IGF2BP3 contributes to tumorigenesis and poor prognosis in AML and can serve as a target for the development of cancer therapeutics.

Enhanced dielectric properties and discharged energy density of composite films using submicron PZT particles

Chen, Guanliang,Lin, Xiujuan,Li, Jianan,Fisher, John G.,Zhang, Yan,Huang, Shifeng,Cheng, Xin Elsevier 2018 CERAMICS INTERNATIONAL Vol.44 No.13

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Flexible dielectric composite films are highly desirable materials with potential application in capacitors due to their high energy density and discharged efficiency. However, agglomeration induced by the large surface energy of nanoparticles and their large dielectric losses are unfavorable to the improvement of energy density. Submicron lead zirconate titanate (PZT) particles have shown great potential as filler in achieving a high energy storage capacity because of their excellent dielectric properties and good dispersion. In this work, calcined PZT particles were used to prepare PZT/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite films. The results showed that composite films of high quality could be obtained even with high contents of submicron PZT particles. The introduction of PZT particles significantly improved the dielectric performance of composite films compared with that of the pristine PVDF film. The discharged energy density of composite films with 10 vol% PZT particles achieved 6.41 J/cm<SUP>3</SUP> at 250 kV/mm. A high efficiency of 87.25% was obtained at 50 kV/mm. These findings confirm the feasibility of PZT particles as inorganic filler in composite films for energy storage applications.</P>
