However, improvements in regression rates and energy properties of monotonous 3D printed fuels have been limited. This study explores the impact of poly(vinylidene fluoride) and polydopamine-coated aluminum particles on the thermal and combustion properties of 3D printed hybrid rocket fuels. Physical self-assembly and anti-solvent methods were employed for constructing composite μAl particles. Characterization using SEM, XRD, XPS, FTIR, and μCT revealed a core-shell structure and homogeneous elemental distribution. Thermal analysis showed that PVDF coatings significantly increased the heat of combustion for aluminum particles, with maximum enhancement observed in μAl@PDA@PVDF(denoted as μAl@PF) at 6.20 k J/g. Subsequently, 3D printed fuels with varying pure and composite μAl particle contents were prepared using 3D printing. Combustion tests indicated higher regression rates for Al@PF/Resin composites compared to pure resin, positively correlating with particle content. The fluorocarbon-alumina reaction during the combustion stage intensified Al particle combustion, reducing residue size. A comprehensive model based on experiments provides insights into the combustion process of PDA and PVDF-coated droplets. This study advances the design of 3D-printed hybrid rocket fuels, offering strategies to improve regression rates and energy release, crucial for enhancing solid fuel performance for hybrid propulsion.展开更多

文摘The poor surface conditions and osseointegration capacity of 3D printed Ti6Al4V implants(3DPT)significantly influence their performance as orthopedic and dental implants.In this work,we creatively introduce a one-step femtosecond laser treatment to improve the surface conditions and osteointegration.The surface characterization,mechanical properties,corrosion resistance,and biological responses were investigated.These results found that femtosecond laser eliminated defects like embedded powders and superficial cracks while forming the nano cones-like structures surface on 3DPT,leading to enhanced osseointegration,anti-corrosion,and anti-fatigue performance.Molecular dynamics simulations revealed the ablation removal mechanism and the formation of nano cone-like structures.These findings were further supported by the in vivo studies,showing that the FS-treated implants had superior bone-implant contact and osseointegration.Hence,the one-step femtosecond laser method is regarded as a promising surface modification method for improving the functional performance of Ti-based orthopedic implants.
