Abstract

In order to effectively reduce the number of diesel exhaust particles and reduce particulate emissions, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of the mechanical and oxidation characteristics of diesel exhaust particles. For the combustion particles of methanol/biodiesel (BM5, BM10, and BM15), atomic force microscopy and thermogravimetric analyzers were used to study changes of particle in mechanical parameters and oxidation rules, and association impact analysis was performed. Biodiesel (B100) was used as a reference. The results showed that with the increase of methanol content, the attraction force Fat, the cohesive force Fad, the adhesion energy Wad, and Young's modulus E of the methanol/biodiesel particles all decreased significantly. During the oxidation process, the weight loss rate of SOF increased, while the content of soot decreased. In addition, the initial combustion temperature of the SOF component TSOF and soot component Tsoot in particles as well as the burn-out temperature Tend showed a downward trend. There was a certain correlation between the mechanical parameters and the oxidation properties of the particles. The smaller the mechanical parameters, such as the attraction force Fat, viscous force Fad, the...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
