In this study, the silicone cross-linked polyethylene (Si-XLPE) powder with better thermoplastic performance and abundant cross-linked network points was attained by using solid-state shear mechanochemical (S 3 M) technology and it was added into high-density polyethylene (HDPE) matrix to prepare Si-XLPE/HDPE tubes by a rotation extrusion rheometer. SEM and 2D-SAXS experiments showed that the presence of Si-XLPE and rotation extrusion facilitated the formation of stable shish-kebabs which deviated from the axial direction in polyethylene (PE) tubes. This result was interpreted that introduction of Si-XLPE in PE tubes provided abundant molecular cross-linked network structures, which suppressed the thermal movement and relaxation of oriented molecular chains owing to intermolecular interaction. Moreover, the axial and hoop flow field further promoted orientation of the permanent cross-linked network entanglement points and formation of more stable cluster-like shish structures in the off-axial direction during the rotation extrusion process. Besides, our experimental results had also ascertained that molecular orientation and shish-kebabs in off-axial direction should be the primary responsibility for the remarkable enhancement of hoop torsional strength in PE tubes. Hoop torsional strength of PE tubes adding Si-XLPE reached 19.58 MPa when the mandrel rotation rate was 30 r.p.m., while that of conventional extruded PE tubes was only 9.83 MPa. As a consequence, PE tubes with excellent performance were prepared under the combined effect of Si-XLPE and rotation extrusion.

The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of rubberwood sawdust (RWS) size and content as well as the ratio of natural rubber (NR)/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blend on properties of RWS reinforced thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) composites. The addition of RWS about 30–50 wt% improved the modulus of the rupture and tensile strength of TPNR composites blending with NR/HDPE ratios of 60/40 and 50/50. TPNR composites reinforced with RWS 80 mesh yielded better tensile strength and modulus of rupture than the composites with RWS 40 mesh. The TPNR/RWS composites with larger HDPE content gave higher tensile, flexural, and Shore hardness properties and thermal stability as well as lower water absorption. The TPNR/RWS composites with larger plastic content were therefore suggested for applications requiring high performance of thermal, physical, and mechanical properties.

Abstract Pentacene, an organic molecule, is a promising material for high-performance field effect transistors due to its high charge carrier mobility in comparison to usual semiconductors. However, the charge carrier mobility is strongly dependent on the molecular orientation of pentacene in the active layer of the device, which is hard to investigate using standard techniques in a real device. Raman scattering, on the other hand, is a high-resolution technique that is sensitive to the molecular orientation. In this work, we investigated the orientation distribution of pentacene molecules in actual transistor devices by polarization-dependent Raman spectroscopy and correlated these results with the performance of the device. This study can be utilized to understand the distribution of molecular orientation of pentacene in various electronic devices and thus would help in further improving their performances.

Thermosetting systems based on epoxy resin (RE) with the dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNT), have been extensively studied by the development of high-performance materials with interesting mechanical, thermal and electrical properties that the thermo-rigid system achieves with the addition of CNT, and thus contribute to obtain composites with excellent performance in low amounts of this filler. However, ensuring a good dispersion of these systems is not easy, as CNTs have a great tendency to cluster due to Van der Waals interactions. To assist in the dispersion of the systems, a phosphonium-based ionic liquid, tributyl (ethyl) -phosphonium diethyl phosphate, acted with a double role, as a dispersion agent and catalyst in systems hardened with MCDEA (4,4’-methylenebis (3 - chloro-2,6-diethylaniline), which is a solid compound giving the systems high viscosity, and with the addition of LI improved the dispersion of the systems, as well as the processability in the preparation of the nanocomposites.

In this paper, we present a gate-all-around silicon nanowire transistor (GAA SNWT) with a triangular cross section by simulation and experiments. Through the TCAD simulation, it was found that with the same nanowire width, the triangular cross-sectional SNWT was superior to the circular or quadrate one in terms of the subthreshold swing, on/off ratio, and SCE immunity, which resulted from the smallest equivalent distance from the nanowire center to the surface in triangular SNWTs. Following this, we fabricated triangular cross-sectional GAA SNWTs with a nanowire width down to 20 nm by TMAH wet etching. This process featured its self-stopped etching behavior on a silicon (1 1 1) crystal plane, which made the triangular cross section smooth and controllable. The fabricated triangular SNWT showed an excellent performance with a large Ion/Ioff ratio (~107), low SS (85 mV/dec), and preferable DIBL (63 mV/V). Finally, the surface roughness mobility of the fabricated device at a low temperature was also extracted to confirm the benefit of a stable cross section.

High-performance hydrogen sensors are important in many industries to effectively address safety concerns related to the production, delivering, storage and use of H2 gas. Herein, we present a highly sensitive hydrogen gas sensor based on SnO2-loaded ZnO nanofibers (NFs). The xSnO2-loaded (x = 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15) ZnO NFs were fabricated using an electrospinning technique followed by calcination at high temperature. Microscopic analyses demonstrated the formation of NFs with expected morphology and chemical composition. Hydrogen sensing studies were performed at various temperatures and the optimal working temperature was selected as 300 °C. The optimal gas sensor (0.1 SnO2 loaded ZnO NFs) not only showed a high response to 50 ppb hydrogen gas, but also showed an excellent selectivity to hydrogen gas. The excellent performance of the gas sensor to hydrogen gas was mainly related to the formation of SnO2-ZnO heterojunctions and the metallization effect of ZnO.

In order to achieve high area density of HDD to 10Tbit/in2, both radial and axial direction Repeatable Run-Out (RRO) and None repeatable Run-Out (NRRO) of spindle motor in HDD should be significantly reduced. That means the high performance spindle motor is need. Currently, the spindle motor used in HDD uses a rotating shaft FDB which structure likes slender cantilever beam to support the rotor and the problem of this kind of structure is reported in [1]. This structure cannot meet HDD high TPI requirements and should be replaced by the fixed shaft FDB spindle motor and the analytical model is shown in Fig. 1. Moreover, different types of Unbalance Magnetic Pull (UMP) of the Spindle motor and induced vibration should be fully studied. In order to fully understand motor vibration behavior, a thorough theoretical derivation of motor dynamics should be carried out as they can disclose clearly the global performance of the motor. Generally, four types of UMP reported in [1]–[3] can generate the motor lateral and axis vibration and produce motor acoustic noise. Researchers have studied vibration and acoustic signals in recent years[1]–[6]. In this paper, the PMSM mathematic model has introduced and validated by 12 slots and 5 pole-pairs PM surface mounting Synchronous motor M1 simulation case study. This type of Permanent Magnetic Synchronous motor (PMSM) is using in many applications, e.g.
