Based on the theory of photonic crystal and its characteristic, which was known as photonic band gap (PBG), the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, including absorbing boundary condition and periodic boundary condition, was used to simulate transmission characteristic of two-dimensional photonic crystal, which has periodic Al2O3 cylinder array structure. Incident wave was presumed as s-polarized wave. In two incident angles which were 0° and 30°, electric field, phase and transmissivity in the range of 1-30 μm were calculated. Numerical simulation results showed that PBG of photonic crystal existed in the range 12-18 μm (infrared waveband), and it may be used to develop infrared wave-guide.

A series of zirconia porous ceramics with different density are fabricated with commercial zirconia powder and zirconia hollow balls by pressureless sintering technology. The microstructure and phase transformation are characterized respectively by SEM and XRD testing methods. The result indicates that the density and compressive strength depend greatly on zirconia powder content at the same sintering temperature, and elevating sintering temperature just has a little effect on the density and compressive strength for the samples of the same zirconia powder content. The XRD diffraction patterns analysis shows that elevating sintering temperature is helpful to eliminate monoclinic zirconia and the best sintering temperature should be beyond 1700°C.

The novel sandwich composites were prepared by sandwiching a polyvinylidene fluoride/Tb- Dy-Fe alloy composite （PVDF/Terfenol-D） between polyvinylidene fluoride/lead zirconate titanate composites （PVDF/PZT）. The maximum magnetoelectric effect voltage coefficient, （dE/dn）33max, of the sandwich composites is higher than that of three-phase composites at their own optimal loading level of Terfenol-D. This is attributed to less interface relaxations of strain and better polarization of the sandwich composites. When the volume fraction of Terfenol-D is higher than 0.10, no coupling interaction for three-phase composites could be observed, but （dE/dn）33max of sandwiched composites still reached 20 mV/（***）. At high magnetic field intensity, the magnetoelectric effect voltage coefficient, （dE/dn）33, of sandwich composites is higher than that of three-phase composites; at low magnetic field intensity, （dE/dn）33 of sandwich composites is lower than that of three-phase composites. At their resonance frequency, the （dE/dn）33max of the sandwich composites and the three phase composites are 150 mV/（***） and 42 mV/（cmoOe）, respectively. This significant increase of （dE/ dn）33max at resonance frequency confirms the improvement of maximum magnetoelectric effect coefficient via sandwich-structured composites.

Protein adsorption behavior on the surfaces of biomedical materials is highly related to the biocom- patibility of the materials. In the past, numerous research reports were mainly focused on the effect of chemical components of a material’s surface on protein adsorption. The effect of surface topography on protein adsorption, the topic of this review, has recently received keen interest. The influence of surface nano-topographic factors, including roughness, curvature and geometry, on protein adsorption as well as the protein adsorption behavior, such as the amount of protein adsorbed, the activity and morphology of adsorbed protein, is introduced.

A novel approach was developed to prepare Ni-coated TiB2 cermet. Fine Ni particles with mean particle size of about 80 nm were impacted onto coarse TiB2 particles having a mean size of about 5 (un to form Ni-coated TiB2 powder by Hybridization. The conventional blended TiB2-Ni powder, as well as Ni-coated TiB2 powder, was sintered by hot pressing (HP) method and Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method. Compared with the conventional blended TiB2-Ni cermet, particle features and mechanical properties of the Ni-coated TiB2 cermet were investigated. The microstructure analysis reveals that the thickness of Ni film is around 4 nm. It is concluded that the mechanical properties of Ni-coated TiB2 cermet are superior to the blended TiB2-Ni cermet.

CoSb3 with nanoscale was synthesized by Cross-coprecipitation. A precursor consisting of antimony oxide and cobalt hydrate was prepared by the reaction of CoCl2, SbCl3 and both precipitators at room temperature. The precursor was reduced in thermal treatment under hydrogen atmosphere whereby the CoSb3 was thus obtained. The parameters especially reducing temperature and atmosphere (content of H2) influence the constituent phases and particle size of product significantly. The single phase CoSb3 with the average grain size of 60-70 nm was obtained after reduced at 723 K for 2 h with pure H2. Nanoscale CoSb3 powder was used as starting materials, and bulk CoSb 3 compound was prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The effect of grains size on thermal conductivity was investigated.

YSZ-NiCr powder was synthesized by gel-reduction process at 850°C for 2 h. YSZ-NiCr cermet was fabricated by hot-press sintering at 1350°C for 1 h. The powder has a mean particle size of 42 nm and the sintered specimen has a fine and homogeneous microstructure with a mean crystalline size of 0.2 μm. The conductivity has a tendency to decrease with increasing temperature. This behavior can be accounted for that there are two conduction paths through the cermet, an electronic path through the Ni/Cr metal phase and an ionic path through the ZrO2-Y2O3 phase. The objective of this work is to give a possible improvement in the cermet anode of SOFC.
