Abstract: We use LabVIEW software and PCI-6024E data acquisition card to design the virtual digital storage oscilloscope. The oscilloscope makes full use of the capabilities of computer storage and connected with the external device.The measurement waveform can storage once, long-term preservation and multiple display,so that we can observe the signal of single change and slow change. Waveform have a variety of ways output. The hardware is open, we can increase the software module by modifying to increase the function of the instrument.

Abstract: Nano calcium carbonate/polymer composite coatings were prepared and their anti-icing property was investigated. The anti-icing capability of the composites depends not only on their superhydrophobicity but also on the surface morphology. The result opens up possibilities for rational design of anti-icing coatings by tuning surface textures in multiple scales and provides a comprehensive framework for optimazing nanoparticle/polymer composite for a wide range of applications.

Abstract: To provide the valuable references for pavement materials applied in various climatic zones, a series of asphalts paving mixtures including common asphalt mixture, SBS modified asphalt mixture and nano-montmorillonite (NMMT)/SBS composite modified asphalt mixture were designed. Marshall tests were carried out to evaluate the effect of different modifiers on the property of these asphalt paving mixtures. Compared with the other two mixtures, NMMT/SBS composite modified asphalt shows fine mechanical performance and moisture susceptibility. These results indicate that NMMT/SBS as a composite modifier can result in excellent properties for asphalt paving mixture.

Abstract: Nano-montmorillonite (Nano-MMT)/SBS composite modified asphalts were prepared by melt blending, the aging property of which was detected by rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT) method. The microstructure of Nano-MMT/SBS modified asphalts was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results demonstrated that nano-composite structures formed by the intercalation effect of SBS and asphalt into the MMT lamellae, which led to improvement in terms of toughness, strength, and thermal stability. In comparison with SBS modified asphalt, Nano-MMT impact on the properties of the modified asphalt appeared as a decreasing penetration, an increasing softening point, and a decreasing ductility. The anti-deformation ability under high temperature of Nano-MMT/SBS modified asphalt improved significantly. The softening point of the Nano-MMT/SBS modified asphalt decreased after aging, in contrast with that of the base asphalt, which could be attributed to the different rheological properties between the Nano-MMT/SBS modified asphalt and the base asphalt. Compared with that of SBS modified asphalt, the anti-aging property of Nano-MMT/SBS modified asphalt improved dramatically. This indicated that the lamellar structure of montomorillonite in modified asphalt could prevent oxygen from diffusing and permeating in matrix and the thermo-oxidative aging of base asphalt and SBS weakens.
