Chemical functionalization of graphene oxide (GO) is one kind of advanced strategy to eliminate the negative effects on the flowability of cement with GO. The adsorption behavior of admixture on cement plays a vital role in the flowability of cement-based materials. Herein, the comparison study on the adsorption behavior (including adsorption amount, adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms and adsorption layer thickness) of three kinds of chemically functionalized graphene oxides (CFGOs) with different polyether amine branched-chain lengths and GO on cement is reported. The results of CFGOs and GO adsorption data on cement particles were all best fitted with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and also conformed to the Freundlich isothermal model, indicating that the adsorption of CFGOs and GO on cement both were multilayer type and took place in a heterogeneous manner. The adsorption of CFGOs and GO on cement was not just physical adsorption, but also engaged chemical adsorption. In contrast to GO, the adsorption behavior of CFGOs on cement represented a lesser adsorption amount, weaker adsorption capacity and thinner adsorption layer thickness. Moreover, the longer the branched-chain length of CFGOs, the greater the decreasing degrees of adsorption amount, adsorption capacity and adsorption layer thickness. Due to the consumption of the carboxyl group (-COOH) by chemical functionalization, the anchoring effect of CFGOs was weaker than GO, and the steric hindrance effect generated from branched-chains which weakened the van der Waals forces among CFGOs layers. Moreover, the steric hindrance effect strengthened with the increasing branched-chain length, thus preventing the cement particles from aggregation, which resulted in satisfactory flowability of CFGOs with incorporation of cement rather than GO.

For spray cooling using nanofluid as the working fluid, a nano-adsorption layer is formed on the heated surface and affects the heat transfer performance of the cooling system. This study performs an experimental investigation into the formation of this nano-adsorption layer and its subsequent effects on the spray heat transfer performance of a cooling system using Al2O3–water nanofluid as the working fluid. The experiments consider four different nanoparticle volume fractions (i.e., 0 vol. %, 0.001 vol. %, 0.025 vol. %, and 0.05 vol. %) and two different surface roughnesses (i.e., 0.1 μm and 1.0 μm). The experimental results show that the 0.001 vol. % nanofluid yields the optimal heat transfer performance since most of the nanoparticles rebound from the heated surface directly on impact or are washed away by subsequently arriving droplets. The surface compositions of the spray-cooled specimens are examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results reveal that for all of the nanofluids, a nano-adsorption layer is formed on the surface of the spray-cooled test pieces. Moreover, the layer thickness increases with an increasing nanoparticle concentration. A greater nano-adsorption layer thickness not only results in a higher thermal resistance but also reduces the effect of the surface roughness in enhancing the heat transfer performance. In addition, the nano-adsorption layer absorbs the nanofluid droplets under the effects of capillary forces, and therefore reduces the contact angle, which induces a hydrophilic surface property.

GaAs layers grown by MBE at low temperatures (in the 200°C range, LT-GaAs) have been reported to have very interesting electronic and transport properties. Previous studies have shown that, before annealing, the crystalline quality of the layers is related to the growth temperature. Lowering the temperature or increasing the layer thickness generally results in some columnar polycrystalline growth. For the best “temperature-thickness” combinations, the layers may be very As rich (up to 1.25%) resulting in an up to 0.15% increase of the lattice parameter, consistent with the excess As. Only after annealing are the technologically important semi-insulating properties of these layers observed. When annealed in As atmosphere at about 600°C a decrease of the lattice parameter to the substrate value is observed. TEM studies show formation of precipitates which are supposed to be As related since the average As concentration remains almost unchanged upon annealing.

Matrix porin, the ompF gene product of E. coli, has been the object of a electron crystallographic study of its pore geometry in an attempt to understand its function as a membrane molecular sieve. Three polymorphic forms have been found for two-dimensional crystals reconstituted in phospholipid, two hexagonal forms with different lipid content and an orthorhombic form coexisting with and similar to the hexagonal form found after lipid loss. In projection these have been shown to retain the same three-fold pore triplet geometry and analyses of three-dimensional data reveal that the small hexagonal and orthorhombic polymorphs have similar structure as well as unit cell spacings.

Materials with compositionally modulated structures have gained much attention recently due to potential improvement in electrical, magnetic and mechanical properties. Specifically, Cu-Nb laminate systems have been extensively studied mainly due to the combination of high strength, and superior thermal and electrical conductivity that can be obtained and optimized for the different applications. The effect of layer thickness on the hardness, residual stress and electrical resistivity has been investigated. In general, increases in hardness and electrical resistivity have been observed with decreasing layer thickness. In addition, reduction in structural scale has caused the formation of a metastable structure which exhibits uniquely different properties. In this study, we report the formation of b.c.c. Cu in highly textured Cu/Nb nanolayers. A series of Cu/Nb nanolayered films, with alternating Cu and Nb layers, were prepared by dc magnetron sputtering onto Si {100} wafers. The nominal total thickness of each layered film was 1 μm. The layer thickness was varied between 1 nm and 500 nm with the volume fraction of the two phases kept constant at 50%. The deposition rates and film densities were determined through a combination of profilometry and ion beam analysis techniques. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) was used to examine the structure, phase and grain size distribution of the as-sputtered films. A JEOL 3000F high resolution TEM was used to characterize the microstructure.
