Abstract

Effect of electron beam (EB) irradiation is analyzed in low and high density polyethylenes (LDPE and HDPE, respectively) at different doses. Parameters as important as degree of crystallinity, melting or crystallization temperatures are dependent on the initial PE molecular architecture, which also controls the gel content developed by action of EB irradiation and the EB dose applied. Thus, this gel amount, ascribed to formation of chain crosslinkings, is raised as irradiation dose increases, being larger in the HDPE than in the LDPE. In both, a plateau value is reached at the highest doses. The molecular changes that take place in both PEs during EB irradiation lead to a hindrance in their crystallization capacity, once macrochains are molten, and, accordingly, to a reduction in crystallinity and to formation of thinner crystallites. Variation with temperature of rigid and soft fractions together with their respective relaxation times is followed in the irradiated LDPE and HDPE specimens by pulse mixed magic-sandwich echo nuclear magnetic resonance (MSE-NMR) measurements. The network structure promoted in these PEs is evaluated by using the multiple-quantum nuclear magnetic resonance (MQ-NMR) approach, showing important differences caused by EB irradiation due to their intrinsic molecular characteristics.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
