Title: Research on Mechanical Properties and Composite Strengthening Technology of Vehicle Retreaded Tires
Abstract: The recycling of waste tire resources has become a consensus gradually as a sunrise industry. All countries all over the world, especially developed countries and regions, attach great importance to the retreading and recycling of waste tires, and developed countries regard them as an important industry to save rubber resources. The use value of tires can be maximized through retreading. It has become an internationally recognized way to save rubber raw materials, solve environmental pollution from waste tires and realize valuable resource recycling. The tire retreading rate is up to 60% in developed countries all over the world, which is only about 10% in China. Although there are many tire retreading enterprises in China, the overall level is not high, the quality of the tire retreading is uneven, and the service life is not long.The life cycle of tire products will experience the scientific process of "use - retreading - recycling - scraping - salvage utilization" with the continuous development of technology so that "black pollution" can be converted into "black energy". China tire retreading industry is characterized by weak technical strength fundamentally. Related basic theory about retreading tire is insufficient compared with the new tire. Therefore, it is of positive significance for the future development of the tire retreading industry to strengthen the research on the basic standards, related basic theories and other contents of the tire retreading technology. A large number of scholars at home and abroad mainly focus on the following aspects: （1） research on the quality, testing and use safety of retreaded tires; (2) status of tire retreading and equipment development; (3) tire retreading technology and technology research; (4) study on tread performance of retreaded tires.
Compound strengthening technology of reinforcement and rubber is a hot research topic in recent years. It is worth studying the influence on physical and mechanical performance, abrasion resistance, comprehensive mechanical performance, etc. of tires when the reinforcement is added to the tire tread rubber (such as graphene, carbon fiber, etc.). Research results have created economic benefits up to 200 million Yuan for industries and enterprises, thereby greatly reducing the "black pollution" of waste tires on the environment, which can not be radically cured easily. The consumption and use of rubber is effectively saved as raw materials in tire manufacturing, energy saving and environmental protection are promoted, thereby providing important theoretical basis and theoretical guidance for technology innovation of tire retreading enterprises, application of retreaded tires, policy formation of tire retreading industry, etc.

Title: Study on low temperature conduction mechanism of Al doped ZnO/SiO2/p-Si heterojunction
Abstract: The 3 at% Al doped ZnO thin films were deposited on p-Si substrate with a native SiO2 layer by spray pyrolysis method. Low temperature conduction behaviors were studied by analysis of impedance spectroscopy and low temperature ac conductivity. The results of impedance spectroscopy showed that the grain boundaries contributed to the resistivity of Al doped ZnO/SiO2/p-Si heterojunction. The calculated activation energy was 0.073 eV for grain boundaries. The equivalent circuit to demonstrate the electrical properties of Al doped ZnO/SiO2/p-Si heterojunction was a series connection of two parallel combination circuits of a resistor and a universal capacitor. Low temperature ac conductivity measurements indicated that the conductivity increased with temperature. Low temperature conductivity mechanism was electron conductivity, and the activation energy was 0.086 eV．
