Fucoxanthin is a natural carotenoid obtained from seaweed which exhibits antioxidant properties. This research aimed to assess whether fucoxanthin, immobilized on aluminum-silicon carrier particles, has a toxic effect on immune cells. The viability, proliferation, nitric oxide production and myeloperoxidase activity of thymocytes and splenocytes of mice in vitro were studied. It was shown that fucoxanthin, immobilized on aluminum-silicon carrier particles, increased the survival rate and proliferation of mature immunocytes (splenocytes) after 24 hours exposure and increased the survival rate of naïve immunocytes (thymocytes) when exposed for 120 hours. In terms of myeloperoxidase, the activity of the immune cells was not affected by fucoxanthin immobilized on the carrier particles. The obtained results indicated that fucoxanthin, immobilized on particles of an aluminum-silicon carrier, did not have a toxic effect on mouse immunocytes. Keywords: Cylindrotheca closterium, fucoxanthin, γ-aluminum oxide, polydimethylsiloxane, thymocytes, splenocytes, viability, proliferation, nitric oxide, myeloperoxidase activity

Friction welding (FRW) is an important commercial solid-state welding process in which coalescence is achieved by frictional heat combined with pressure. The objective of this work is to analyze the microstructure and the mechanical behavior of the copper alloy UNS C64200 – bronze-aluminum-silicon, as well as to raise the ideal welding parameters so that there is adequate weldability after process of continuous-drive friction welding. Regarding the analysis of the microstructure, scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize phases. The mechanical properties were evaluated by means of a hardness test of the center of the welded joint, traversing the entire extent of the thermally affected zone. Results show that the UNS C64200 alloy, when subjected to conventional friction welding, behaves satisfactorily in terms of weldability, without the appearance of cracks or defects arising from the temperature characteristic of this process, as well as good hardness with values above the minimum established in norm and higher than the base material.

Abstract The pressure and temperature inside the tire is mainly monitored by the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). In order to improve the integration of the TPMS system, moreover enhance the sensitivity and temperature-insensitivity of pressure measurement, this paper proposes a microelectromechanical (MEMS) chip-level sensor based on stress-sensitive aluminum-silicon hybrid structures with amplified piezoresistive effect and temperature-dependent aluminum-silicon hybrid structures for hardware and software temperature compensations. Two types of aluminum-silicon hybrid structures are located inside and outside the strained menbrane to simultaneously realize the measurement of pressure and temperature. The model of this composite sensor chip is firstly designed and verified for its effectiveness by using finite element numerical simulation, and then it is fabricated based on the standard MEMS process. The experiments indicate that the pressure sensitivity of the sensor is between 0.126 mV/(V·kPa) and 0.151 mV/(V·kPa) during the ambient temperature ranges from -20 ℃ to 100 ℃, while the measurement error, sensitivity and temperature coefficient of temperature-dependent hybrid structures are individually ± 0.91℃, -1.225 mV/(V·℃) and -0.150%/℃. The thermal coefficient of offset (TCO) of pressure measurement can be reduced from -3.553%FS/℃ to -0.375%FS/℃ based on the differential output of the proposed sensor. In order to obtain the better performance of temperature compensation, Elman neural network based on ant colony algorithm is applied in the data fusion of differential output to further eliminate the temperature drift error. Based on which, the overall measured error is within 3.45 kPa, which is less than ±1.15%FS. The thermal coefficient of offset (TCO) is -0.017%FS/℃, and the thermal coefficient of span (TCS) is -0.020%/FS℃. The research results may provide a useful reference for the development of the high-performance MEMS composite sensor for the TPMS system.

In order to investigate the change of chemical bonds between tanning agents and collagen molecules directly, hide powder tanned by aluminum, silicon and phosphorus tanning agents were prepared. The chemical shifts of Al, Si and P in tanned hide powder were analyzed by solid-state 27Al NMR, 29Si NMR and 31P NMR. The results showed that, the chemical shift of Al in aluminum tanned hide powder which interacted with collagen molecules through coordination bond could be regarded as unchanging after hydrothermal denaturation (only slightly moved to high field area). The chemical shift of Si in silicon tanned hide powder which interacted with collagen molecules through hydrogen bond did not change after hydrothermal denaturation. The chemical shift of P in phosphorus tanned hide powder, which interacted with collagen molecules through covalent bond, was obviously shifted to the high field area after hydrothermal denaturation.

Abstract Rheinfelden Castasil-37 (AlSi9MnMoZr) is an aluminum-silicon-manganese-molybdenum-zirconium high pressure die casting (HPDC) alloy. It was developed by Rheinfelden Alloys GmbH for the production of large and complex high pressure die castings for automotive structural applications. This alloy is used in the as-cast condition, and exhibits good mechanical properties, especially elongation, which are superior to those of conventional aluminum-silicon alloys. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as casting, heat treating, and joining. Filing Code: Al-481. Producer or source: Rheinfelden Alloys GmbH & Co. KG.
