Context: Traditional conductive adhesives based on epoxy resin system often encounter problems such as high brittleness and low heat resistance. Therefore, it is particularly important to improve the thermal and mechanical properties of the conductive adhesive. In this study, the effects of SWCNT-Ag and SWCNT fillers on the thermal properties of DGEBA/DETA/Ag conductive adhesive system were studied by using molecular dynamics to construct different cross-linking models. The final results show that the addition of SWCNT and SWCNT-Ag can significantly improve the thermal properties of the conductive adhesive. However, the nanosilver particles on the surface of SWCNT-Ag act as a bridge for the connection between SWCNT and Ag in the conductive adhesive. Therefore, SWCNT-Ag has a more positive impact on the thermal properties of DGEBA/DETA/Ag conductive adhesive system.

Methods: In this paper, the influence of SWCNT-Ag on the thermal properties of traditional DGEBA/DETA/Ag conductive adhesive system was studied by using Materials Studio software. The volume shrinkage, glass transition temperature, thermal expansion coefficient, and thermal conductivity of the material were calculated based on COMPASS force field. The thermal conductivity is calculated by using reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics method. Finally, it is found that SWCNT-Ag has a positive effect on the thermal properties of the conductive adhesive system by comparing several groups of calculation data.

Micro- and nanomorphological modification and roughening of titanium implant surfaces can enhance osseointegration; however, the optimal morphology remains unclear. Laser processing of implant surfaces has demonstrated significant potential due to its precision, controllability, and environmental friendliness. Femtosecond lasers, through precise optimization of processing parameters, can modify the surface of any solid material to generate micro- and nanomorphologies of varying scales and roughness.

Dust emissions from open-pit mining pose a significant threat to environmental safety and human health. Currently, the range of dust suppressants used in coal mining is limited, often failing to account for their suitability across various stockpiles. This oversight results in poor infiltration after application, leading to insufficient crust formation and reduced durability.

Background: Painful hemiplegic shoulder (PHS) is a prevalent and challenging complication following a stroke and can significantly impair a patient's engagement in rehabilitation, leading to poorer functional outcomes and extended hospital stays. This retrospective cohort study aims to investigate the incidence, etiology, and management of PHS in stroke inpatients, focusing on the effectiveness of various therapeutic interventions.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of subacute stroke inpatients who developed PHS during rehabilitation at a single center.
