Narrow Results

A paper with special properties that can be used for specialized applications is termed as “specialty paper”. The basic features of specialty paper include the specific performance, specialized application-based features, low quantity demand, small-scale production, low-cost input equipment, narrow application, and high value-added and technical threshold; it should demonstrate uniform structure and good appearance. It has been developed rapidly in the domestic paper market, which is putting a great impact on the domestic paper, design, and printing industry. The specialty paper could be classified according to performance and applications in different fields. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the concept, properties, and classification of specialty paper. It discusses the potential of nanocellulose, the smallest physical structural unit of cellulose possessing nanometer network structure and excellent properties, to be replaced with wood pulp in making the specialty paper. Nanocellulose can add more fillers and reduce the overall production cost of specialty paper, which can further impart stability and strength and improve the printing quality of specialty paper. It further summarizes various applications of nanocellulose-based specialty paper in developing energy storage and electronic devices as well as in nanomedicine and water cleaning.

China’s women table tennis players are front-runners in the global table tennis scene and are supported a strong development program. However, recent defeats in competitions such as the 1-3 loss to Singapore in the 50th World Table Tennis Championship finals have raised some concerns. Moreover, the International Assistance and Development Plan implemented by the Chinese Table Tennis Association have allowed for the sharing of table tennis tactics and techniques and this has bridged the gap between other countries and China. Therefore this paper analyzes the characteristics of the tactical ability and technical skill of the Chinese women table tennis rising star Zhu Yuling, to identify and provide solutions to her problems and weaknesses in order to provide full preparation for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

In the study of multidimensional systems of conservation laws people confront more difficulties than that for one-dimensional systems. The difficulties include characteristic boundary, free boundary associated with unknown nonlinear waves, various nonlinear wave structure, mixed type equations, strong singularities, etc. Most of them come from the complexity of characteristics. We will give a survey on the progress obtained in the study of this topics with the applications in various physical problems, and will also emphasize some crucial points for the further development of this theory in future.

Non-quenched and tempered steel (NQTS) has attracted wide attention and application due to its excellent performance, energy saving, low cost, green environmental protection and other advantages. This paper reviews the classification and characteristics of NQTS at home and abroad. On this basis, it explores the research direction and development of NQTS. Furthermore, this review studied the problem in the application of NQTS in our country and puts forward some suggestions on the development of NQTS.

Though many new energy like nuclear power and wind power have been emerged and utilized, coal is still occupy an important position in energy field. The reserve of biomass is abundant in almost every country, which takes up 10-14% of the world's total fuel stream and is recognized as one of the most largest energy resource in the world, and its neutrality in CO₂ emissions, low NO_x and SO₂ emissions, therefore, biomass tend to become suitable feedstock, especially in the field of mixing biomass with coal nowadays. Co-combustion of coal and biomass is a good way to improve the combustion performance and the pollutants produced. The co-combustion characteristics and the pollutants are reviewed, such as ignition behavior, flame stability, burnout behavior and NOx emission etc., and some issues exist in researches are proposed in this article, it is expected to provide valuable reference for the further study.

It is the special structure to make the porous materials have the unique performance and application. As new structural and functional material, porous materials are being paid much more attention in the world and found application in many industrial fields. Classifications, properties, fabrication methods and application are summarized in this paper. Finally, we indicate the developing tendency of porous materials.
