The aim of this study is to show how fractal analysis can be effectively used to characterize the texture of porous solids. The materials under study were carbon papers, the backing material of the gas diffusion layer （GDL） in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell （PEMFC）. The fractal dimensions were calculated by analyzing data from mercury porosimetry. The polytotrafluoroethylene （PTFE） treated carbon paper shows a significantly high fractal dimension value than pare sample, and the high fractal dimension signifies that the physical complexity of the pore surface is enhanced. The fractal dimension can be used as a valid parameter to monitor the textural evolution of the samples as the treatment progresses, as this behaves in a similar way to other textural parameters. The use of fractal analysis in conjunction with the results of classical characterization methods leads to a better understanding of textural modificatious in the processing of materials.

The electronic structures of Ca3Co2O6, Na and Ni doped models were studied by the quantum chemical software of Cambride Serial Total Energy Package （CASTEP） that is based on deusity function theory （DFT） and psendo-potential. The electronic conductivity, seebeck coefficient, thermal conduetivity and figure of merit （Z） were computed. The energy band structure reveals the form of the impurity levels due to the substitutional imapurity in semiconductors. Na-doped model stunts the character of p-type semiconductor, but Xi-doped model is n-type semiconductor. The calculation results show that the electric conduetirity of the doped model is higher than that of the non-doped model, while the Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity of the doped model are lower than those of the non-doped one. Because of the great increase of the electric conductivity, Z of Na- doped model is enhanced and thermoelectric properties are improved. On the other hand, as the large decline of Seebeck coefficient, Z of Ni-doped model is less than that of the non-doped model.

The relation among electronic structure, chemical bond and property of Ti3SiC2 and Al-doped was studied by density function and discrete variation （ DFT- DVM） method. When Al element is added into Ti3 SiC2 , there is a less difference of ionic bond, which does not play a leading role to influent the properties. After adding Al, the covalent bond of Al and the near Ti becomes somewhat weaker, but the covalent bond of Al and the Si in the same layer is obviously stronger than that of Si and Si before adding. Therefore, in preparation of Ti3 SiC2 , adding a proper quantity of Al can promote the formation of Ti3 SiC2 . The density of stnte shows that there is a mixed conductor character in both of Ti3 SiC2 and adding Al element. Ti3 SiC2 is with more tendencies to form a semiconductor. The total density of state near Fermi lever after adding Al is larger than that before adding, so the electric conductivity may increase after adding Al.

Not only the isothermal oxidation behaviors at 900-1 300℃for 20 h in air of bulk Ti3AlC2 with 2.8% TiC which was sintered by hot pressing with the additive of silicon, but also the cyclic oxidation behavior at 1 100-1 300℃for 30 cycles, were investigated by using TG, XRD, SEM. The isothermal and cyclic oxidation behaviors generally follow a parabolic rate law. The parabolic rate constants of the former increased from 1.39×10-10 kg2/(m4·s) at 900℃to 5.56×10-9 kg2/(m4·s) at 1 300℃. The calculated activation energy is 136.45 kJ/mol. The oxidation products areα-Al2O3 and little TiO2 at 900-1 000℃, however when the temperature is raised up to 1 200℃, TiO2 partially reacts to Al2TiO5, and the reaction is completed at 1 300℃. This demonstrates that Ti3AlC2 has excellent oxidation resistance and good thermal shock because the dense continuous oxide scale consists of massα- Al2O3 and little TiO2 and/or Al2TiO5. Generally, the oxide scale is grown by the inward diffusion of O2- and the outward diffusion of Ti4+ and Al3+.

A technique based on viscous polymer processing (VPP) was described, which can produce high ceramic content green fibers. PZT-5 ceramic powders were ball milled to get high dispersibility. The slurry prepared for VPP was a composition of PZT-5 powder, PVA binder and glycerin. High ceramic content PZT-5 fibers were extruded with the slurry. The results show that the ceramic powders have fine mean particle size of 0.54 μm, high specific surface area of 3.55 m2/g and zeta potential of 8.81 mV after 16 h milling. The fibers sintered at 1 280 ℃ for 4 h have pure perovskite structure and grains of 2-5 μm in size, with little pores or cracks. The ultimate tensile strength of sintered fibers is up to 13.84 MPa compared with 2.88 MPa of green fibers. The remnant polarization (Pr) and coercive field (Ec) of the fibers are 50.65 μC/cm2 and 2.45 kV/mm, respectively. This fiber can withstand an electric field of 9 kV/mm higher than the ceramic (5 kV/mm), which shows high directional and compact qualities.

Piezoelectricity of composite was simulated by employing Dilute Model and Limit Unit method. The analogizing results recommend that the particle stackers influence the properties of piezo-composite. While fabricating piezo-composite, particles stack different with different routine. For thermo-pressing proceeding, stackers trend to take on higher D33 than that processing from forging-membrane.

The organic-inorganic hybrid compounds have attracted much attention for their interesting structures and various properties. In present work, we concentrated on the band structures of the hybrid compound (C4H 9NH3)2GeI4 and tried to find out the relations between the geometry structure and the properties. The hybrid's primitive cell was large and including too many atoms, so it was difficult to have a direct and clear analysis on the band structure. The hybrids' DOS and PDOS were analyzed instead, as it was another effective way to analyze the band structure of the hybrid especially when the band structure was complicated. The model of (C4H9NH3)GeI4 was set up, and the program based on the first principle had been employed to calculate its band structure. The difference of iodine's PDOS caused by structure was also discussed.

A systematic research was performed about diffusion kinetics of adsorbing F^- dissolved in water for carbonate hydroxyapatite （CHAP） from the natural hydroxyapatite which was modified by adulterating with CO3^2-. The result shows that the speed of F^- adsorption is controlled by membrane diffusion when F^- concentration is relatively low, which is expressed by the kinetic equation of diffusion Q=0.0005（Ci-C）（t-ti）＋0.3967, or by vacancy diffusion when F^- concentration is relatively high, which is expressed by the kinetic equation of diffusion In[C（o, t）]=8.4718-0.5048Int. Based on the feature of CHAP for adsorbing F^- dissolved in water and its special channel of the structure of CO3^3- modified hydroxyapatite, models of vacancy diffusion and membrane diffusion were established.
