詳細二相流解析を大型モックアップ試験の代替または補完として活用するためには、流動様式の再現性に加え、瞬時かつ局所的な気液界面情報に対する定量的な妥当性確認が重要である。しかし、妥当性確認に用いられてきたワイヤメッシュセンサ(WMS)では、ワイヤ交点間よりも高い解像度でボイド率を取得することができず、気液界面情報の把握に課題があった。この課題を解決するため、WMS計測、詳細二相流解析、静電場解析および生成AIを組み合わせることで、WMS信号から高精度・高解像度のボイド率分布を推定する技術の開発を進めている。本技術では、ロッドバンドル流路を対象として、分散気泡流からチャーン流までの条件に対して詳細二相流解析と静電場解析を実施し、気液界面情報とWMS信号強度の対応データセットを構築する。さらに、これらを学習データとしてPix2Pixに基づく画像生成モデルを作成し、実機WMS信号から高解像度のボイド率分布を推定する。本報では、本推定技術の開発状況と、実験で取得した3

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：20.13(Chemistry, Physical)High C-rate capability and energy-density stability are crucial for advanced lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).

(NCM523) cathode to construct a highly ion-conductive artificial cathode electrolyte interface (CEI) layer, aiming to supersede traditional CEIs for LIBs. The coating material, composed of an amphiphilic lithium-substituted alkyl-sulfonated polyimide (ASPI-Li) and an appropriate amount of organic liquid electrolyte, forms nanoscale ion conduction channels that act as an artificial CEI layer, providing enhanced local Li-ion activity at the NCM523 surface. The ion-conduction channels, regulated by the layered structure within the ASPI-Li coating layer, significantly accelerated ion-diffusion kinetics at the electrode/electrolyte interface, thereby delivering superior C-rate capability at ambient temperatures compared with conventional LIB systems. This work, guided by molecular design, provides insights into the development of next-generation artificial CEI layers for efficient and sustainable energy-storage systems.

By applying different mean fields to the kaons, we examine their effects on the invariant mass spectra.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：19.91(Polymer Science)To investigate the relationship between the mechanical properties of silica-filled styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) and the amount of bound rubber at the filler/rubber interface, the polymer matrix was extracted from silica-filled SBR using toluene at room temperature. In this study, this extraction process was reproduced by leaching a thermally annealed SBR layer deposited on a Si substrate in toluene at room temperature, where the adsorption layer of the SBR was grown at the interface with the substrate by thermal annealing. The SBR adsorption layer on the Si substrate has two-layer structures consisting of an inner and outer adsorption layers, which correspond to the tightly and loosely bound rubbers on the filler surface of the silica-filled SBR, respectively. For the sample annealed for less than 6 h, the outer adsorption layer, loosely bound to the substrate, was easily leached in toluene for 5 min, leaving only the inner adsorption layer on the substrate. For the samples annealed for more than 24 h, a large portion of the outer adsorption layer remained on top of the inner adsorption layer as a terrace structure. However, even for the sample annealed for 24 h, treating with toluene for 24 h completely leached the outer adsorption layer from the inner adsorption layer, although the inner adsorption layer remained on the substrate. It was found that the loosely bound rubber in the silica-filled SBR could be easily extracted from the filler surface, along with the free polymer chains in the polymer matrix during extraction with toluene at room temperature. In contrast, the tightly bound rubber was not leached by toluene at room temperature. This may be because the interfacial polymer chains within approximately 1 nm of the substrate surface were strongly constrained to the substrate, and even toluene molecules were excluded.

被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Polymer Science)Polyrotaxane (PR) exhibits unique mechanical properties due to the ability of its cyclic molecules to move or slide along the axial chain. Thus, to design advanced polymer-based composite materials and organic devices, it is crucial to better understand the aggregation states at the surface and substrate interface in polymer films containing PR. Here, we report the depth profile of PR along the direction normal to the interface when it is mixed with polystyrene (PS). Neutron reflectivity and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that PS and PR segregated at the surface and substrate interface, respectively, and that the extent of segregation depended on the length of PS. The surface enrichment of PS is driven by both energy and entropy, whereas the enrichment of PR at the substrate interface is energy driven.

The performance of structural adhesives is strongly influenced by the interfacial structure between the adhesive and adherend. In this study, we developed a nanometric stable interfacial layer derived from an epoxy resin system containing excess hardener. This layer, formed on solid substrates, exhibited excellent structural stability, even after extensive solvent washing. Neutron reflectometry (NR) was employed to investigate its structure under both dry and humid conditions, revealing a robust and well-defined interface that suppressed moisture accumulation at the adherend interface. FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed an excess of unreacted amino groups in the adsorbed layer, enabling further curing reactions with freshly applied epoxy resin. Re-coating experiments demonstrated that the adsorbed layer remained intact after thermal curing, suggesting strong interfacial compatibility. Notably, the presence of the adsorbed layer led to a significant enhancement in adhesive performance. Lap shear tests showed that the adhesion strength of the epoxy resin nearly doubled when the adsorbed layer was introduced at the interface. This approach does not rely on external coupling agents or primers, but instead utilizes a homologous material system to tailor interfacial properties through molecular-level design. The strategy presented here offers a practical and scalable method for improving adhesion in epoxy systems. By directly engineering the adhesive interface using components intrinsic to the epoxy formulation, this method enables reliable and enhanced bonding performance without altering the bulk material.

This study developed a neutron-beam focusing supermirror for grazing-incidence small-angle neutron scattering (GISANS) measurements. It was fabricated by depositing NiC/Ti supermirror film with ion-beam sputtering on a precise elliptic surface of fused quartz figured using the elastic emission machining technique. Neutron measurements at a pulsed neutron reflectometer BL17 of MLF, J-PARC successfully demonstrated that the focusing supermirror enhances a beam intensity twentyfold compared with an optimally collimated beam, achieving the signal-to-background ratio of the focal spot as high as 500. The mirror can be readily installed and used at BL17.

Catechol is a functional group that is versatile and abundant in nature, exhibiting various functions. In this report, a tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc)-protected vinyl catechol (VC) monomer was synthesized from caffeic acid, which is a bio-abundant molecule found generally in coffee beans, in order to develop a bio-based adhesive. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of the Boc-protected VC afforded well-defined, bio-based catechol-containing polymers with controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions. Specifically, it was facile to deprotect the pendent Boc groups quantitatively under acidic or thermal conditions to provide the desired P(VC) without requiring further purification. Consequently, the catechol-containing polymer as a primer showed highly strong adhesion against aluminum when coupled with a commercially available polyurethane adhesive.

被引用回数：7 パーセンタイル：68.30(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Herein, we report water-intercalated and humidity-responsive lamellar materials obtained from the self-assembly of sodium acrylate (ANa)/alkyl acrylate (RA) random copolymers. The random copolymers efficiently absorbed water into the hydrophilic ANa/main chain phase from the outer environment to form lamellar structures consisting of the water-intercalated hydrophilic segments and the hydrophobic side chains. The lamellar formation involves controlling the weight fraction of hydrophilic segments containing water to 40-70 wt% by the RA content, hydrophobic side chains, and the amount of absorbed water. The domain spacing can be controlled in the range of 2-6 nm. More interestingly, the lamellar materials reversibly afford expansion and contraction of the domain spacing in the sub-1 nm level via the absorption and release of water, in response to relative humidity. The multilayered lamellar formation process via the intercalation of water was analyzed in situ by neutron reflectometry and atomic force microscopy measurements under humid conditions. The polymer film further served as a moisture-sensitive actuator that macroscopically induces deformation responsive to humidity.

Neutron reflectivity (NR) measurement of the plasma-treated thin film showed a decrease in the film thickness (etching width: similar to 20 nm) and an increase in the scattering length density (SLD) near the surface (similar to 15 nm). The region with a considerably high SLD adsorbed water (DO) from its saturated vapor, indicating its superior surface hydrophilicity. Nevertheless of the hydrophilicity, the swelling of the thin film was suppressed. Hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) performed at various takeoff angles revealed that the thin-film surface (similar to 20 nm depth) underwent extensive oxidation. NR and HAXPES analysis quantitatively yielded the depth profiling of elemental compositions in a few tens of nm scale. Si oxidation and hydrogen elimination (probably CH
groups) in the vicinity of the surface region increased the SLD and decreased the hydrophobicity. A combination of Soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and NR measurements revealed the surface chemical composition and mass density. It was considered that the surface near the film was chemically composed close to SiO, forming a gel-like (three-dimensional network) structure that is hydrophilic and suppresses swelling due to moisture, indicating it can be expected to maintain stable hydrophilicity on the film surface.

被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：4.35(Chemistry, Physical)Isotactic polypropylene (PP) thin films deposited on Si substrates were subjected to neutron reflectivity (NR) measurements under various humidity conditions to evaluate the isothermal adsorption of water accumulated between the PP layer and Si substrate, with focus on the temperature-dependence of the adsorption isotherm. The adsorption of accumulated water followed a single type II isotherm according to the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) classification, regardless of temperature. This can be attributed to the weak interactions between the PP layer and Si substrate, and between the PP layer and water molecules. Hydrophobic PP does not significantly interact with water molecules and the hydrophilic Si surface. Therefore, the interfacial water molecules are simply adsorbed on the native oxide layer on Si via simple interaction between the water molecules and the silicon oxide surface without being affected by the PP layer. Consequently, the adsorption isotherm of the accumulated water follows the single type II adsorption isotherm regardless of temperature, similar to the adsorption isotherm of water simply adsorbed on exposed silica surfaces. These weak interactions of the PP layer with the Si surface and water molecules also lead to fast diffusion kinetics for the accumulated water along the interface.

High temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is expected to use nuclear heat to wide range of industrial applications such as hydrogen production, which is capable of high temperature heat supply with inherent safe characteristics. JAEA started a High Temperature engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) heat application test project to develop coupling technologies between HTGR and a hydrogen production plant necessary to achieve large-scale, carbon-free hydrogen production. One of the key technologies is a safety evaluation method which can simulate an impact of explosion hazards induced in the hydrogen production plant on reactor facility because HTGR hydrogen production system contains large amount of combustible gases such as hydrogen. A computational fluid dynamics code FLACS has been sufficiently validated for dispersion and explosion of combustible gases such as hydrogen and methane worldwide, however, only few attempts have been made for validation of analysis in closed area with small space. A leak of combustible gases to the piping in HTGR hydrogen production system may occur in case of abnormal condition in hydrogen production plant and therefore an explosion in the piping must be considered. This paper describes the validation of FLACS by analyzing explosion experiments in straight piping and complex piping aiming to establish a safety evaluation method for analyzing explosions of combustible gases in piping.

Rev. Mater. 2019))による密度汎関数理論(DFT)計算の結果、四面体サイトの占有エネルギーは八面体サイトの占有エネルギーよりも著しく高く、988Kの高温でも四面体サイトの占有は起こりにくいことがわかった。消衰補正は粉末回折パターンに適用されることはまれであり、前回の精密化には含まれていなかった。その結果、八面体の占有率は0.60に増加し、四面体の占有率はゼロに減少した。D原子の八面体サイトのみの占有は、以前の結果とは対照的ではあるが、DFT計算と一致している。
