Abstract: The composition and properties of phosphate cement, the requirement of its materials needed are discussed. Its compositional materials are heavy burnt magnesia and polyphosphatic solution. The effect of features, the amount of magnesium oxide and phosphate on the cement properties are described. It can be used in large fabrication repairing and in industrial waste disposal.

Abstract: Novel catalysts with higher metal content were synthesized through the addition of a diamine. The catalysts showed excellent performances in the oxidation of cyclohexene and the higher metal content decreases the amount of the catalyst to be used, which are promising in industrial application.

Abstract: Powder of Ti-46at%Al alloy was synthesized through mechanical activation (MA) and then sintered and concurrently consolidated in a short sintering time of 900 s by using spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. The XRD and SEM profiles show that the microstructures of TiAl alloys contained γ TiAl and small amount α-2 Ti₃Al phase, whose amount can be controlled by the sintering temperature. The compacts retained the original fine-grained fully densified bodies by avoiding an excessively high sintering temperature. The alloys sintered at higher temperature with this process showed a coarser microstructure. So it is possible to produce dense nanostructured TiAl alloys by mechanically activated spark plasma sintering (MASPS) within a very short period of time.

Abstract: Based on product analysis, this paper identifies six toy design factors, including a set meal model, cartoon characters, mechanical functions, quality, price, and channels. Then, based on the results of previous research analysis, this paper considers the satisfaction level, word-of-mouth recommendation, priority level, and repeat purchase intention, as the four evaluative indicators of customer loyalty. Subsequently, this paper adopts questionnaire surveys to investigate the effects of customer loyalty, following which, a variance analysis reveals that a set meal model, cartoon characters, and mechanical functions are the three toy design factors that can significantly influence customer loyalty.

Abstract: The microstructure evolution of the supercooling austenite for the eutectoid carbon steel during deformation was analyzed. The experiment results show that during deformation part of the supercooling austenite transformed to pearlite. The pearlite transformation began around the grain boundary. The interlamellar spacing of the pearlite was fine. In addition, the kinetics of the austenite to pearlite transformation during deformation was discussed in detail. The analysis indicates that the kinetics of the pearlite transformation under deformation can be described by the Avrami equation: . Particularly, in the Avrami equation the value b varied obviously with the change of the deformation conditions. However, the influence of the deformation conditions on the value n was little.

Abstract: The mechanism for phosphate cement hydraulic reaction is determined. The microscopic process is described by means of scanning electronic microscope, X-ray diffraction analysis,infrared spectrophotometry and differential heat analysis. The results show the three main phases are present, i.e. hydromagnesium phosphates, Mg (OH)₂ and MgO phase. The type, structure, and amount of every phase play an important role in phosphate cement properties. Hydromagnesium phosphate phase structure has a close relation to phosphate cement setting and hardening. The development of strength has much to do with the formed crystalline directing.

Abstract: The effects of PTFE on the tensile and tribological properties of glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6(PA6) composites were studied. Tribological tests were conducted on an M2000 friction and wear tester using a block-on-ring arrangement. It was observed that the PTFE played a main role in the tensile-resistant and wear-resistant properties of the PA6 composites. The tensile properties were ruled by the fiber–matrix adhesion. And the excellent tribological performance of the PTFE fillers improved the tribological properties of PA6 composites.

Abstract: A novel catalyst, H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀/SiO₂ was synthesized by a sol-gel technique, and characterized by FT-IR and XRD. Catalytic application of H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀/SiO₂ for synthesis of acetals and ketals were tested. The variation of different reaction parameters, such as mole ratio of aldehyde/ketone to alcohols, catalyst dosage and reaction time on the yield of acetals and ketals were also studied. The results reveal that the H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀/SiO₂ catalysis generally results in good yields of acetals and ketals under mild reaction conditions and the high activity and stability of the catalyst is well retained on recycling.

Abstract: The friction and wear properties of carbon fibers (CF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composite were studied. The influences of the fiber volume fraction, load applied, rotating speed, and wear mechanism were discussed. The results indicated that CF/PP composite had better tribological properties than pure PP. The friction coefficient and wear mass loss decreased with the fiber volume fraction increased, but increased as the load and rotating speed increased, respectively. CF reduced direct contact between the matrix and counterpart and improved the wear resistance of CF/PP composite greatly. The wear displayed a linear evolution in all the range of load. Surfaces after wear tests were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
