Study on the Aging Behavior of Two Acrylic Polyurethane Coatings under High and Low Temperature UV- Artificial Accelerated Aging Tests by PAN Dongyue, AN Jiangfeng, ZHOU Xuejie, PENG Feifan, CHEN Hao, CHEN Zhijian, WU Jun

“…In order to investigate the aging behavior of acrylic polyurethane coatings in environments with high ultraviolet radiation intensity and large temperature differences， the aging processes of water-based and solvent-based acrylic polyurethane coatings were studied using UV-high and low-temperature artificial accelerated aging methods.Techniques such as super depth-of-field imaging， attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were employed to analyze the changes in microscopic morphology， molecular structure and elemental atomic fraction on the surfaces of the coatings.The performance changes and aging patterns of solvent-based and water-based coatings during the aging process were examined through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)， water contact angle measurements， adhesion strength tests and glossiness assessments.Results showed that the water-based acrylic polyurethane coating system exhibited cracking， whereas the solvent-based coating system exhibited layering.Both coatings experienced significant reductions in glossiness， water contact angle and adhesion strength.The aging rate of the two coating systems initially increased rapidly and then slowed down， with an early appearance of the rate transition inflection point.Infrared spectroscopy analysis indicated that both coatings shared similar aging mechanisms， while EDS analysis demonstrated a faster aging rate for the water-based coating.Additionally， the weight of each performance index was calculated by entropy method， and the comprehensive aging grade under the test was obtained， which verified that the solventbased acrylic polyurethane coating system had relatively good weather resistance.…”

Spectral clustering-based energy-efficient resource allocation algorithm in heterogeneous cellular ultra-dense network by Xue WANG, Jing LIU, Jiani SUN, Jizhen ZHANG, Zhihong QIAN

“…In order to solve problems of high power consumption, spectrum shortage and low energy efficiency in the ultra-intensive 5G mobile communication scenario, a resource allocation algorithm based on the maximum energy efficiency for the two-layer heterogeneous cellular non-orthogonal multiple access network was proposed.The original NP-hard optimization problem on the downlink communication link of ultra-dense scene was divided into two subproblem, such as frequency resource allocation and power allocation, which became a deterministic constraint optimization problem.The frequency resource allocation scheme of different user groups was obtained by using base station clustering based on the improved k-means algorithm and users grouping based on spectral clustering algorithm.The fraction of energy efficiency optimization was transformed into a solvable continuous convex optimization problem and power distribution was realized by Dinkelbach method, and the Lagrange multiplier iterative algorithm, respectively.Jointly optimize system energy efficiency in terms of base station clustering, user grouping, resource block allocation and power allocation, which minimized the inter-cluster interference and intra-cluster interference of the base station efficiently.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is better on energy efficiency and computational efficiency compared with existing algorithms.…”
