This study presents a closed-loop recycling process for carbon fibers using supercritical n-butanol. In thereclamation process, to achieve the highest composite recovery efficiency, the degradation of the carbon fiber-reinforcedepoxy resin composites was conducted at various experimental feedstock ratios (ratio of composite waste to n-butanol), thenthe reclaimed carbon fiber (RCF) was characterized using various methods to develop an understanding of the changes in theproperties and morphologies. In the remanufacturing process, in order to evaluate the reusability of the RCFs and thefeasibility of the closed-loop recycling process for carbon fibers, the RCFs were mixed with new epoxy resin andpolypropylene to remanufacture the composites, and then the mechanical properties of remanufacture composites weretested. The results show that, under an optimized process, the maximum recovery efficiency (feedstock ratio) of thecomposite was 0.1 g/ml. The impact of reclamation process on RCF lies in the degradation of tensile properties and theremoval of sizing agent, which leads the change of the interfacial bonding strength between RCF and new resin, andeventually results in an impact on the performance of remanufacture composites. Compared with the virgin carbon fiberreinforcedcomposites, the improvement in the RCF-reinforced polypropylene properties and insubstantial variations in thetensile properties of the RCF validate the potential of the closed-loop recycling process for carbon fibers.

Coating technology is the most economical and efficient approach to retard metal corrosion, and newcomposite coatings prepared by adding monoatomic fillers to a polymer matrix have excellent corrosionresistance and good mechanical properties. The single-atom coating formed by the immobilization ofmetal atoms alone on the matrix or filler represents the maximum utilization of atoms at the presentstage, which has unique coordination properties, active sites, and synergistic effects with the support. Compared with traditional fillers, single-atom fillers not only have the advantages of supporting fillersbut can also provide monatomic metals to form passivation films, promote the progress of catalytic passivationreactions, and combine organic compounds to generate new composite materials. This paperfocuses on the preparation methods and mechanisms of single-atom coatings in the field of batteriesand catalysts as well as the application of composite materials prepared by combining single-atom materialswith polymer matrices in the field of metal protection. The preparation methods, application prospects,and coating characteristics of various single-atom composites were summarized. In addition,we discuss the potential applications of single-atom coatings in the design of future composite coatings.

Jian Liu,Chaohong Dong,Dongdong Wei,Zheng Zhang,Weihao Xie,Qun Li,Zhou Lu 한국섬유공학회 2019 Fibers and polymers Vol.20 No.7

A novel polysiloxane quaternary ammonium salt (NCTSi) was synthesized and used as antibacterial andhydrophobic agent for cotton fabric. The chemical structures were characterized by FT-IR. The surface morphology of treatedcotton fabrics was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Thecotton fabrics treated with NCTSi showed excellent antibacterial properties against Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus andGram-negative bacteria E. coli. The E. coli antibacterial rate was about 99.52 % and the S. aureus antibacterial rate was about98.33 %, with only a slight decrease after 20 cycles of standard washing, to 91.43 % and 93.33 %, respectively. The inhibitionzone was 2 mm and 2.5 mm against E. coli and S. aureus when NCTSi concentration was 4 %. The treated cotton fabricsprovided excellent hydrophobic properties, and the water contact angle (WCA) reached 124.14 º compared to pure cottonfabrics. The mechanical properties and whiteness were also investigated. As a result of the performed modifications,multifunctional fabrics with a considerably increased hydrophobicity and high antibacterial property were obtained.

Toward efficient broad-spectrum UV absorption of carbon dots: Facile preparation, performance characterization and its application as UV absorbers

Jiemin Qiu,Weihao Ye,Congcong Chen,Zhiqiang Xu,Chaofan Hu,Jianle Zhuang,Hanwu Dong,Bingfu Lei,Guangqi Hu,Yingliang Liu 한국공업화학회 2023 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.117 No.-

UV absorbers are sustainable substances that inhibit the ultraviolet (UV) radiative degradation of polymers. In previous reports, the as-prepared carbon dots (CDs) possess only an absorption band at UVA(320–400 nm). To achieve broad-spectrum UV absorption (200–400 nm), increasing the concentrationof the CDs solution becomes common. However, a high concentration solution seriously affects the lighttransmittance due to its heavy yellow color. Furthermore, the promising organic UV absorbers cannotachieve broad-spectrum UV absorption. In this work, we initially synthesized three-component watersolublecarbon dots (OP–CDs), which delivers an excellent UV absorption (98 % UVA and 100 % UVB atthe concentration of 1.7 102 mg/mL; 99 % transmittance in visible light). Moreover, OP–CDs exhibitoutstanding stability at high temperatures and different pH. With the corporation of OP–CDs and polyvinylalcohol (PVA), a high-performance UV-shielding film was formed, leading to enhanced broadspectrumUV shielding performance and improved mechanical properties, resistance of photocatalyticactivity and anti-UV aging ability compared with pure PVA film. Notably, the PVA film remains hightransparency with the addition of OP–CDs. The study suggests that the corporation of OP–CDs and polymersis effective in anti-UV degradation.

Song Xueguan,Li Qingye,Liu Fuwen,Zhou Weihao,Zong Chaoyong 한국원자력학회 2023 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.55 No.8

A pressurized vessel-pipe-safety valve (PVPSV) combination is a commonly used configuration in nuclear power plants, and a good numerical model is essential for the system design, sizing and performance optimization. However, owing to the large-scale and cross-scale features, it is still a challenge to build a system level numerical model with both high accuracy and efficiency. To overcome this, a novel system level modeling method which can synthesize the advantages of various models is proposed in this paper. For system modeling, the analytical approach, the method of characteristics (MOC) and the surrogate model approach are respectively adopted to predict the dynamics of the pressure vessel, the connecting pipe and the safety valve, and different models are connected through data interfaces. With this system model, dynamic simulations were carried out and both the stable and the unstable system responses were obtained. For the model verification purpose, the simulation results were compared with those obtained from experiments and full CFD simulations. A good agreement and a better efficiency were obtained, verifying the ability of the model and the feasibility of the modeling method proposed in this paper

Zong Chaoyong,Shi Maolin,Li Qingye,Liu Fuwen,Zhou Weihao,Song Xueguan 한국원자력학회 2022 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.54 No.11

Main steam safety valves are commonly used in nuclear power plants to provide final protections from overpressure events. Blowdown and dynamic stability are two critical characteristics of safety valves. However, due to the parameter sensitivity and multi-parameter features of safety valves, using traditional method to design and/or optimize them is generally difficult and/or inefficient. To overcome these problems, a surrogate model-based valve design optimization is carried out in this study, of particular interest are methods of valve surrogate modeling, valve parameters global sensitivity analysis and valve performance optimization. To construct the surrogate model, Design of Experiments (DoE) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of the safety valve were performed successively, thereby an ensemble surrogate model (E-AHF) was built for valve blowdown and stability predictions. With the developed E-AHF model, global sensitivity analysis (GSA) on the valve parameters was performed, thereby five primary parameters that affect valve performance were identified. Finally, the ksigma method is used to conduct the robust optimization on the valve. After optimization, the valve remains stable, the minimum blowdown of the safety valve is reduced greatly from 13.30% to 2.70%, and the corresponding variance is reduced from 1.04 to 0.65 as well, confirming the feasibility and effectiveness of the optimization method proposed in this paper

Multi-level Scheduling Algorithm Based on Storm

( Jie Wang ),( Siguang Hang ),( Jiwei Liu ),( Weihao Chen ),( Gang Hou ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2016 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.10 No.3

Hybrid deployment under current cloud data centers is a combination of online and offline services, which improves the utilization of the cluster resources. However, the performance of the cluster is often affected by the online services in the hybrid deployment environment. To improve the response time of online service (e.g. search engine), an effective scheduling algorithm based on Storm is proposed. At the component level, the algorithm dispatches the component with more influence to the optimal performance node. Inside the component, a reasonable resource allocation strategy is used. By searching the compressed index first and then filtering the complete index, the execution speed of the component is improved with similar accuracy. Experiments show that our algorithm can guarantee search accuracy of 95.94%, while increasing the response speed by 68.03%.

Background: Astatine-211 is an α-emitter with high-energy α-ray and high cytotoxicity for cancer cells. However, the targeted alpha therapy (TAT) also suffers from insufficient systematic immune activation, resulting in tumor metastasis and relapse. Combined immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) with chemodynamic therapy (CDT) could boost antitumor immunity, which may magnify the immune responses of TAT. This study aims to discourage tumor metastasis and relapse by tri-model TAT-CDT-ICB strategy. Methods: We successfully designed Mn-based radioimmunotherapy promoters (211At-ATE-MnO2-BSA), which are consisting of 211At, MnO2 and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The efficacy of 211At-ATE-MnO2-BSA was studied as monotherapy or in combination with anti-PD-L1 in both metastatic and relapse models. The immune effects of radioimmunotherapy promoters on cytotoxic T lymphocytes and dendritic cells (DCs) were analyzed by flow cytometry. Enzymelinked immunosorbent assay and immunofluorescence were used to explore the underlying mechanism. Results: Such radioimmunotherapy promoters could not only enhance the therapeutic outcomes of TAT and CDT, but also induce robust anti-cancer immune activity by activating dendritic cells. More intriguingly, 211At-ATE-MnO2-BSA could effectively suppress the growths of primary tumors and distant tumors when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Conclusions: The tri-model TAT-CDT-ICB strategy provides a long-term immunological memory, which can protect against tumor rechallenge after eliminating original tumors. Therefore, this work presents a novel approach for TATCDT-ICB tri-modal cancer therapy with repressed metastasis and relapse in clinics.

Echinacoside and acteoside, the representative constituents of Cistanche deserticola Y. C. Ma (C. deserticola),are known for its many important biological activities. In this study, a novel ternary natural deepeutectic solvent (NADES) (citric acid, fructose and glucose in a 1:2:1 molar ratio, 30 % water content)was obtained through the adjustment and optimization of single-factor experiments. And through theBox-Behnken design optimization, the optimal extraction conditions were obtained, at the moment,the yields of echinacoside and acteoside were 6.16 and 2.13 mg/g, respectively. In addition, through computermolecular simulation, it was found that there are strong hydrogen bonds and interactions betweenthe molecules of NADES, and the hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces and p-p interactions played animportant role in the extraction of echinacoside and acteoside from C. deserticola by NADES. Finally, comparedwith the traditional method, NADES ultrasound-assisted extraction of echinacoside and acteosidehas a shorter time (15 min), the maximum extraction yield is 1.54–2.86 times and 1.26–2.52 times thanthat of traditional extraction methods for echinacoside and acteoside, respectively. This study demonstratesthat NADES can provides a new direction for developing new sustainable alternatives, improvinggreen extraction process and efficiency for extracting natural active substances.
