Abstract:
The thermal behavior of Zn(NH4)3Cl5 have been investigated by non-isothermal TG-DTG at heating rates of 5.0,10.0,15.0 and 20.0℃/min.The results show that its thermal decomposition process can be divided into two steps.The first step,which is very important in ZnSe single crystal growth is controlled by random nucleation and growth mechanism.The most probable kinetic function in differential form,in integral form,the apparent activation energy (E) and the pre-exponential constant (A) of the process are founded to be{1/2(1-α)[-ln(1-α)]-1},[-ln(1-α)]2,162.94 kJ/mol,1011.75 s-1,respectively.The empirical kinetic model equation is dα/dt=1011.75{1/2(1-α)[-ln(1-α)]-1}exp(-(19598.3/T).The results indicate that Zn(NH4)3Cl5 has high thermal stability and is an excellent chemical transport agent for ZnSe single crystal growth from vapor.Two ZnSe bulk crystals were obtained from vapor using Zn(NH4)3Cl5 as a transport agent.

Abstract:
Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were treated with nitric acid,followed by filtration,washing,and drying to give the functionalized nanotubes with three chemical groups-COOH,C=O and -OH being introduced on the surface.The photovoltaic properties of the functionalized MWNT thin film were investigated by surface photovoltage spectroscopy,two photovoltaic response bands were observed at 1100 and 1500 nm respectively.The result demonstrates that the functionlized MWNT has a excellent characteristic of photo-induced charge separation.The electrochemical behavior of functionalized MWNT was studied on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode and a borondoped diamond thin film (BDD) electrode by cyclic voltammetry (CV).Three stable redox peak pairs were recorded:one on modified GC electrode with peakpotentials of 0.084V and -0.130V (vs.SCE),respectively;two on modified BBD electrode with peakpotentials of 0.018V,-0.216V (vs,SCE) and 0.214V,0.142V (vs.SCE),respectively.

Abstract:
The influence of UV-curable ink on attenuation of colored optical fiber has been examined.The components in the ink affected the attenuation of colored optical fiber in the order of resin >active diluent >dye.The attenuation increment of colored optical fiber was in the following sequence:bisphenol epoxy diacrylate >aromatic urethane diacrylate >aliphatic urethane diacrylate >polyester diacrylate with the other components in ink kept constant.The attenuation increment of colored optical fiber decreases with the increase of line-velocity of coloration of optical fiber.All these effects were found related with the modulus of cured resin system of ink.The greater the modules,shows the greater attenuation increment of colored optical fiber.The cured ink with greater modules probably provides for the colored fiber a greater stress,increase radiation loss,therefore,enhanced attenuation increment.

Abstract:
Thermosensitive cationic hydrogels poly (NIPAM-co-DMAPAA-Q) were synthesized by radical copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) with acryloylamino propyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DMAPAA-Q),and the influences of amount of cationic monomer DMAPAA-Q on the swelling ratio,deswelling/reswelling kinetics have been studied.It is found that the swelling ratio and low critical solution temperature (LCST) of the copolymer hydrogels increased with increase in the content of cationic monomer when the mass fraction of DMAPAA-Q was ≤7.5%.The LCST disappeared when x>(DMAPAA-Q)=37.5%.The greatest reswelling rate occurred in period of first 2 h and the equillibrium state achieved in 5 h.The interaction of the copolymer with surfactants appeared to be a two-step adsorption process,rather than a formation of 1:1 complex between polyelectrolyte and surfactants.

Abstract:
The dopamine (DA) electrocatalytical sensor is prepared from a Nafion film coated platinum electrode by immersing it in L-lysine solution,and coated with SiO2 sol-gel layer.The L-lysine is immobilized via electrostatic force between the cation of Lys and the negatively charged sulfonic acid groups in Nafion film.Cyclic voltammetry (CV) is used to investigate the electrochemical characteristics of the sensor.The linearity of DA concentration in the range of 5.0×10-7~5.0×10-4 mol/L with detection limit of 5.0×10-8 mol/L and the correlation coefficient of 0.999 are obtained by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV).No interference was found from ascorbic acid,nitrite,uric acid,glucose and L-arginine in the determination of DA.The sensor is stable for about 4 weeks in a dry state at 4℃.Satisfactory determination results of DA in samples are obtained by this method.

Abstract:
In presence of polyacrylamide (PAM) sulfur nanoparticle solutions have a maximum resonance scattering peak at 470 nm,but no absorption peak appears in visible light region.The mass concentration of sulfur particles in the range of 0.05~1.0 mg/L is linear to the resonance scattering intensity at 470 nm.The effects of dyes such as bromophenol blue (BPB),bromomethyl violet (BMV),crystal violet (CV) and brilliant green (BG),and some organic solvents such as acetone,alcohol and methanol on the resonance scattering spectra of S nanoparticle have been studied.It is found that the molecular absorption of the dyes is an important factor to produce scattering peak,and the resonance scattering intensity decreases exponentially with the concentration of the dye.At maximum absorption wavelength of 590 nm,the concentration of BPB is linear to the ΔI590 nm value in the range of 0~1.0×10-5 mol/L.

Abstract:
The spherical Ni(OH)2 was modified with cobalt by three methods:electroless plating with cobalt,coating with Co(OH)2 and mixing with CoO.The difference of three modification methods on the performance of Ni(OH)2 electrode has been investigated.The charge-discharge experiments and cyclic voltammetry results show that coating with Co(OH)2 layer and electroless plating with cobalt greatly improved the charge-discharge efficiency and the reversibility of Ni(OH)2 electrode,significantly improving the utilization of active material and specific capacity of the electrode.The SEM micrograph shows that the Co(OH)2 coated layer and electroless plated Co are uniformly distributed on the surface of the Ni(OH)2 grains.The result from X-ray diffraction patterns shows that the coated Co(OH)2 layer and electroless plated Co can effectively prevent the formation of γ-NiOOH.It is concluded that the method of coating a layer of Co(OH)2 on the spherical Ni(OH)2 is the best among three methods.It is cheaper and simpler in technology.
