Geotextiles feature reinforcement, drainage, filtration, separation, and act as a moisture barrier, and are commonly used in civil and geotechnical engineering applications. Using nonwoven fabrics as geotextiles has become a recent trend;therefore, this study combines crimped polyester (PET) fibers, recycled Kevlar unidirectional selvage fibers, and low-melting-point PET (LPET) fiber to make PET/Kevlar/LPET nonwoven geotextiles, the mechanical properties of which are then examined. The test results show that the tensile strength and tearing strength of the PET/Kevlar/LPET nonwoven geotextiles increases as a result of an increasing needle-punch rate from 150 punches/min to 200 punches/min. The mechanical properties along the cross machine direciton (CD) of the nonwoven geotextiles is greater than that along the machine direction (MD). When the needle-punching rate exceeds 200 punches/min, the mechanical properties of the nonwoven geotextiles slightly decrease.

Due to a thermodynamic coupling between the two leaflets comprising a lipid bilayer, compositional lipid domains residing within opposing leaflets are often found in registry. If the system is perturbed by displacing one domain relative to the other, diffusive and advective lipid fluxes are established to restore equilibrium and reestablish domain overlap. In this work, we focus on the advective part of the process, and first derive an analytical expression for the hydrodynamic drag coefficient associated with the advective flow for the special case of perfect domain overlap. The resulting expression identifies parameter regions where sliding friction between the leaflets dominates over viscous dissipation within the leaflets or vice versa. It is shown that in all practically relevant cases, sliding friction between the leaflets is the dominant factor. Finally, we investigate the domain separation dependence of the hydrodynamic drag coefficient via direct simulations of a continuum diffuse interface model, and provide useful empirical expressions for its behavior.

Improved hybrid solar cells consisting of vertical aligned cadmium sulfide （CdS） nanorod arrays and interpenetrating polythiophene （P3HT） have been achieved via modification of CdS nanorod surface by using conjugated N719 dye. The complete infiltration of P3HT between CdS nanorods interspacing was verified by scanning electron microscopy. By employing absorption and photoluminescence spectra, and current-voltage characterization the interaction between N719 molecules and CdS nanorods/P3HT interface was explored, and the role of N719 dye on the improvement of device performance was discussed.

While great progress has been achieved in the synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbons in the past decade, it still remains a challenge to prepare highly graphitic frameworks with ordered mesoporosity and high surface area. Reported herein is a simple synthetic methodology, based on the conversion of self‐assembled superlattices of Fe 3 O 4 nanocrystals, to fabricate highly ordered mesoporous graphene frameworks (MGFs) with ultrathin pore walls consisting of three to six stacking graphene layers. The MGFs possess face‐centered‐cubic symmetry with interconnected mesoporosity, tunable pore width, and high surface area. Because of their unique architectures and superior structural durability, the MGFs exhibit excellent cycling stability and rate performance when used as anode materials for lithium‐ion batteries, thus retaining a specific capacity of 520 mAh g −1 at a current density of 300 mA g −1 after 400 cycles.
