摘要： Distribution of nanoparticles in nanocomposites is one of the most important roles to design unique morphologies and properties;however, up to now, it is still very difficult to control distribution of nanoparticles in polymer matrix. Here we show a simple approach to fabricate ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with controllable chain-like distribution in poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) by a magnetic self organization. Randomly distributed Fe3O4 nanoparticles can be polarized and the interparticle dipole dipole attraction drives their assembly into linear chains in an external magnetic field. The accelerated PCL crystallization happens at low Fe3O4 loadings, while the retardation to crystallization happens at high Fe3O4 loadings, especially for the samples with chain-like structures. Furthermore, PCL spherulites are also arranged into chain-like structures by the Fe3O4 nanoparticle chains. As a result, the PCL/Fe3O4 nanocomposites with chain-like structures exhibit higher storage modulus, Young's modulus and tensile strength than that of the corresponding nanocomposites with random distribution of Fe3O4 nano particles, indicating mechanical enhancements.

摘要： A mechanical metamaterial, a simple, periodic mechanical structure, is reported, which reproduces the nonlinear dynamic behavior of materials undergoing phase transitions and domain switching at the structural level. Tunable multistability is exploited to produce switching and transition phenomena whose kinetics are governed by the same Allen-Cahn law commonly used to describe material-level, structural-transition processes. The reported purely elastic mechanical system displays several key features commonly found in atomic- or mesoscale physics of solids. The rotating-mass network shows qualitatively analogous features as, e.g., ferroic ceramics or phase-transforming solids, and the discrete governing equation is shown to approach the phase field equation commonly used to simulate the above processes. This offers untapped opportunities for reproducing material-level, dissipative and diffusive kinetic phenomena at the structural level, which, in turn, invites experimental realization and paves the road for new active, intelligent, or phase-transforming mechanical metamaterials bringing small-scale processes to the macroscopically observable scale.

摘要： Hydrogels play a central role in a number of medical applications and new research aims to engineer their mechanical properties to improve their capacity to mimic the functional dynamics of native tissues. This study shows hierarchical mechanical tuning of hydrogel networks by utilizing mixtures of kinetically distinct reversible covalent crosslinks. A methodology is described to precisely tune stress relaxation in PEG networks formed from mixtures of two different phenylboronic acid derivatives with unique diol complexation rates, 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid, and o-aminomethylphenylboronic acid. Gel relaxation time and the mechanical response to dynamic shear are exquisitely controlled by the relative concentrations of the phenylboronic acid derivatives. The differences observed in the crossover frequencies corresponding to pK(a) differences in the phenylboronic acid derivatives directly connect the molecular kinetics of the reversible crosslinks to the macroscopic dynamic mechanical behavior. Mechanical tuning by mixing reversible covalent crosslinking kinetics is found to be independent of other attributes of network architecture, such as molecular weight between crosslinks.

摘要： Charged colloidal dispersions make up the basis of a broad range of industrial and commercial products, from paints to coatings and additives in cosmetics. During drying, an initially liquid dispersion of such particles is slowly concentrated into a solid, displaying a range of mechanical instabilities in response to highly variable internal pressures. Here we summarize the current appreciation of this process by pairing an advection-diffusion model of particle motion with a Poisson-Boltzmann cell model of inter-particle interactions, to predict the concentration gradients in a drying colloidal film. We then test these predictions with osmotic compression experiments on colloidal silica, and small-angle X-ray scattering experiments on silica dispersions drying in Hele-Shaw cells. Finally, we use the details of the microscopic physics at play in these dispersions to explore how two macroscopic mechanical instabilities-shear-banding and fracture-can be controlled. This article is part of the themed issue 'Patterning through instabilities in complex media: theory and applications'.

关键词： Phenolic resins   Thermosetting polymer   Molecular dynamics simulation   Mechanical property  

摘要： An atomistic molecular dynamics simulation was performed for crosslinked phenolic resins which were constructed from phenols and crosslinkers using a pseudo-reaction algorithm, in order to understand the structure-mechanical property relationships therein from an atomistic perspective. The tensile modulus was characterized from the linear elastic region of the stress-strain curves under uniaxial tensile deformation. Analysis of the relationships between the moduli and interatomic interactions indicated that bond interaction, especially bond orientation for the elongation axis, dominantly affects the tensile modulus in a range of strain 0 <= epsilon <= 0.05, while stress-concentration in specific domains and long-range interactions including hydrogen bonding do not.

关键词： Mechanical response   Steered molecular dynamics   Type IV pilus   Coarse-grained model  

摘要： Type IV pili are long filamentous structures on the surface of bacteria, which can be rapidly assembled or disassembled with pilin subunits by molecular motors. They can generate force during retraction and are involved in many bacterial functions. Steered molecular dynamics simulations with coarse-grained MARTINI models are carried out to investigate the mechanical behaviors of pili under tension. Our study is the first to report a Young's modulus of 0.80 +/- 0.07 GPa and a spring constant of 1294.6 +/- 116.5 kJ mol(-1) nm(-2) for pilus. Our results show the mechanical responses of pili are different from those described by the worm-like chain model and the van der Waal's interactions play a critical role in the mechanical responses. Moreover, the effects of pulling rates and virtual spring constants of pilus on Young's modulus are studied and two distinct morphological stages with the conformational changes appear during the extension of pilus are observed. This work provide insight into the mechanics and the deformation mechanism of pilus assembly. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

摘要： 运用软件Pro/e建立了某工业机械手的三维模型,设定机械手构件参数如杆长和转角等,再用Joseph-Louis Lagrange法建立机械手的动力学方程。按照仿真流程在软件Adams中对机械手进行动力学仿真,得到机械手各个关节的角度曲线、角速度曲线和角加速度曲线,以及大臂旋转关节各个方向的力矩曲线。最后再利用软件Matlab对机械手动力学方程进行求解并生成各个方向的力矩曲线,经与Adams仿真曲线和力矩值进行对比,发现两者力矩曲线走势相近,且力矩值偏差甚小,最大时仅为7.5 N·m,在合理范围内,从而验证了Adams动力学仿真的准确性。
