摘要：This essay discusses some preliminary thoughts on the development of a rational and modular approach for molecular design in soft matter engineering and proposes ideas of structural and functional synthons for advanced functional materials. It echoes the Materials Genome Initiative by practicing a tentative retro-functional analysis （RFA） scheme. The importance of hierarchical structures in transferring and amplifying molecular functions into macroscopic properties is recognized and emphasized. According to the role of molecular segments in final materials, there are two types of building blocks： structural synthon and functional synthon. Guided by a specific structure for a desired function, these synthons can be modularly combined in various ways to construct molecular scaffolds. Detailed molecular structures are then deduced, designed and synthesized precisely and modularly. While the assembled structure and property may deviate from the original design, the study may allow further refinement of the molecular design toward the target function, The strategy has been used in the development of soft fullerene materials and other giant molecules. There are a few aspects that are not yet well addressed： （1） function and structure are not fully decoupled and （2） the assembled hierarchical structures are sensitive to secondary interactions and molecular geometries across different length scales. Nevertheless, the RFA approach provides a starting point and an alternative thinking pathway by provoking creativity with considerations from both chemistry and physics. This is particularly useful for engineering soft matters with supramolecular lattice formation, as in giant molecules, where the synthons are relatively independent of each other.

摘要：This paper describes a dual-stroke acting hydraulic power take-off （PTO） system employed in the wave energy converter （WEC） with an inverse pendulum. The hydraulic PTO converts slow irregular reciprocating wave motions to relatively smooth, fast rotation of an electrical generator. The design of the hydraulic PTO system and its control are critical to maximize the generated power. A time domain simulation study and the laboratory experiment of the full-scale beach test are presented. The results of the simulation and laboratory experiments including their comparison at full-scale are also presented, which have validated the rationality of the design and the reliability of some key components of the prototype of the WEC with an inverse pendulum with the dual-stroke acting hydraulic PTO system.

摘要：The high phase content of inorganic dielectric fillings will give a strong electric driving force and hard matrix. That is a contradiction in enhancing the electrodeformation of dielectric elastomers(DEs). Therefore, in this paper, by focusing on how to approach a balance between these and finding an effective way to tune the electric response of the DEs, the theoretical calculation and experimental investigation based on calcium copper titanate(CCTO)/poly(dimethyl siloxane)(PDMS) were carried out. It is found that CCTO with a smaller particle size shows a larger dielectric parameter. With smaller CCTO particle as the fillings, the fabricated elastomer composite would approach to a low modulus by a proper CCTO phase morphology in the matrix.

摘要：In order to search for potent and environmental friendly insecticides with new modes of action, a series of pyranoside derivatives mimicking D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate （IP3） were designed and synthesized according to the bioisosterie approach. The biological assay indicated that most of the new compounds showed moderate to good insecticidal activities against oriental armyworm （Mythimna separata） and diamondback moth （PluteIla xylostella）. Especially, compound 5g displayed 80% larvicidal activity against oriental armyworm at 50 mg/L. Meanwhile, 5a showed 100% and 70% larvicidal activities against diamondback moth at 50 and 25 nag/L, respectively. To further explore the mode of action, calcium imaging technique was applied to study the effects of 5a, 5g, and 5i on the intracellular calcium ion concentration （[Ca^2＋]i） in central neurons isolated from Spodoptera exigua. The results indicated that the tested compounds released stored calcium ions from endoplasmic reticulum.
