A series of CF/PPS composites under different processing conditions were prepared through PIF-processing.

It is found that the poor adhesion of fluororesin coatings to metallic substrates is improved obviously by the graded coating structure of FEP/PPS, and the bonding strength reaches up to 11.8 MPa for the five-layer system.

The disappearance of enediyne monomers are evidenced by FTIR and NMR spectroscopies. The formation of polyphenylenes is further confirmed by UV-Vis and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopies（MS）. Isotope pattern analysis of the MS spectra shows that the polymers prepared in solvents are terminated by the solvent molecules, whereas the chain ends of the polymers prepared in bulk consist of considerable amount of unmasked free radicals, which is further confirmed by EPR analysis. Circular dichroism（CD） spectra of the chiral polymers show blue shifts of the Cotton peaks, indicating the occurrence of the cycloaromatization reaction. A new set of peaks mirrored at the horizontal axis show up in the long wavelength range, which are assigned to main chain chirality of the polyphenylenes.展开更多

Benefiting from the"brick-and-mortar" layered structure and the strong hydrogen-bondinginteractions among MXene, HA, and PPy, the paper exhibits remarkable mechanical performances, including high tensile strength (309.7 MPa),outstanding toughness (57.6 MJ m−3), exceptional foldability, and structural stability against ultrasonication. By using the template effect ofHA/MXene to guide the assembly of conductive polymers, the synthesized paper obtains excellent electronic conductivity. More importantly,the highly continuous conductive path enables the nanocomposite paper to achieve a splendid EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of 54.1 dBat an ultra-thin thickness (25.4 μm) and a high specific EMI SE of 17,204.7 dB cm2g−1. In addition, the papers also have excellent applicationsin electromagnetic protection, electro-/photothermal de-icing, thermal therapy, and fire safety.

Unfortunately, the strength and electrical insulating properties of AP remain suboptimal, primarily due to the smooth surface and chemical inertness of aramid fibers. Herein, AP are modified via the nacre-mimetic structure composed of aramid nanofibers (ANF) and carbonylated basalt nanosheets (CBSNs). This is achieved by impregnating AP into an ANF-CBSNs (A-C) suspension containing a 3D ANF framework as the matrix and 2D CBSNs as fillers. The resultant biomimetic composite papers (AP/A-C composite papers) exhibit a layered “brick-and-mortar” structure, demonstrating superior mechanical and electrical insulating properties. Notably, the tensile strength and breakdown strength of AP/A-C5 composite papers reach 39.69 MPa and 22.04 kV mm^(−1), respectively, representing a 155 % and 85 % increase compared to those of the control AP. These impressive properties are accompanied with excellent volume resistivity, exceptional dielectric properties, impressive folding endurance, outstanding heat insulation, and remarkable flame retardance. The nacre-inspired strategy offers an effective approach for producing highly promising electrical insulating papers for advanced electrical equipment.展开更多

文摘Self-lubricating polyphenylene sulfide(PPS)composites were fabricated by constructing a segregated network structure using the co-deposition method.Both carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes(CNTs)and silicon carbide(SiC)were successfully coated on the surface of PPS powders with the aid of self-polymerization of dopamine(PDA)and co-polymerization between PDA and polyethyleneimine(PEI),thereby forming PPS@PDA-CNTs-SiC hierarchical reinforcing hybrids.Results showed that the thermal conductivity of PPS@PDA-CNTs-SiC(0.97 W/(m K))is about 120%higher than that of PPS/CNTs/SiC.The friction coefficient(0.193)and specific wear rate(2.50×10^(-5)mm^(3)/(N m))of PPS@PDA-CNTs-SiC are 18.9%and 50%lower than those of PPS/CNTs/SiC,respectively.The enhanced thermal conductivity of PPS@PDA-CNTs-SiC contributes to rapid dissipation of frictional heat at the sliding interface which protects the polymer substrate from being destroyed or peeled,thereby improving the tribological performance.This work provides new insights into expanding the application of self-lubricating polymer composites in the fields where efficient heat dissipation is also a primary concern.
文摘Fluororesin-based anti-corrosive coatings including graded FEP/PPS were prepared on carbon steel by melt powder coating, the bonding strength of all coating systems was determined by the pull-off test. It is found that the poor adhesion of fluororesin coatings to metallic substrates is improved obviously by the graded coating structure of FEP/PPS, and the bonding strength reaches up to 11.8 MPa for the five-layer system. Examination by electron probe microanalysis （EPMA） verifies that the distribution of main components is graded in the five-layer system, which is responsible for the enhancement of the interfacial bonding.

文摘Chiral enediynes with pendant chiral amino ester groups are synthesized through Sonogashira reactions and subjected to thermal triggered Bergman cyclization at elevated temperatures either in bulk or in solvents to produce chiral polyphenylenes. The disappearance of enediyne monomers are evidenced by FTIR and NMR spectroscopies. The formation of polyphenylenes is further confirmed by UV-Vis and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopies（MS）. Isotope pattern analysis of the MS spectra shows that the polymers prepared in solvents are terminated by the solvent molecules, whereas the chain ends of the polymers prepared in bulk consist of considerable amount of unmasked free radicals, which is further confirmed by EPR analysis. Circular dichroism（CD） spectra of the chiral polymers show blue shifts of the Cotton peaks, indicating the occurrence of the cycloaromatization reaction. A new set of peaks mirrored at the horizontal axis show up in the long wavelength range, which are assigned to main chain chirality of the polyphenylenes.
文摘NiCl2(bpy) catalyzed polycondensation between p-dibromobenzene and m-dibromobenzene has been carried out under various conditions. The polycondensation endows the copolymer with an M-n of 2300 (by GPC, polystyrene standards) and good solubility in organic solvents. The fluorescence spectra of the copolymer measured with tetrahydrofuran solution shows an emission maximum (lambda(max)) at 372.8 nm, whereas for the film the maximum shifts to 436.6 nm.

文摘Robust, ultra-flexible, and multifunctional MXene-basedelectromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding nanocomposite filmsexhibit enormous potential for applications in artificial intelligence,wireless telecommunication, and portable/wearable electronic equipment.In this work, a nacre-inspired multifunctional heterocyclic aramid(HA)/MXene@polypyrrole (PPy) (HMP) nanocomposite paper withlarge-scale, high strength, super toughness, and excellent tolerance tocomplex conditions is fabricated through the strategy of HA/MXenehydrogel template-assisted in-situ assembly of PPy. Benefiting from the"brick-and-mortar" layered structure and the strong hydrogen-bondinginteractions among MXene, HA, and PPy, the paper exhibits remarkable mechanical performances, including high tensile strength (309.7 MPa),outstanding toughness (57.6 MJ m−3), exceptional foldability, and structural stability against ultrasonication. By using the template effect ofHA/MXene to guide the assembly of conductive polymers, the synthesized paper obtains excellent electronic conductivity. More importantly,the highly continuous conductive path enables the nanocomposite paper to achieve a splendid EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of 54.1 dBat an ultra-thin thickness (25.4 μm) and a high specific EMI SE of 17,204.7 dB cm2g−1. In addition, the papers also have excellent applicationsin electromagnetic protection, electro-/photothermal de-icing, thermal therapy, and fire safety. These findings broaden the ideas for developinghigh-performance and multifunctional MXene-based films with enormous application potential in EMI shielding and thermal management.

文摘To date,there is no research that deals with biological waste as fillers in polyphenylene sulfide(PPS).In this study,oyster shells were recycled and treated to prepare thermally-treated oyster shells(TOS),which were used as PPS fillers to make new bio-based antibacterial composite materials.The effect of varying the content of TOS was studied by means of structure and performance characterization.PPS/TOS composites were demonstrated to have an antibacterial effect on the growth of E coli and S.aureus.Qualitative analysis showed that when the TOS content was≥30%and 40%,the composite materials had an apparent inhibition zone.Quantitative analysis showed that the antibacterial activity increased with the TOS content.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated the formation of hydrogen bonds between the molecular chains of TOS and PPS and the occurrence of a coordination reaction.At 10%TOS,the composite tensile strength reached a maximum value of 72.5 MPa,which is 9.65%higher than that of pure PPS.The trend of bending properties is the same as that of tensile properties,showing that the maximum property was reached for the composite with 10%TOS.At the same time,the crystallinity and contact angle were the highest,and the permeability coefficient was the lowest.The fatigue test results indicated that for the composite with 10%TOS,the tensile strength was 23%lower than static tensile strength,and the yield strength was 10%lower than the static yield strength.The results of the study showed that TOS not only could reduce the cost of PPS,but also could impart antibacterial properties and enhance the mechanical and,barrier properties,the thermostability,as well as the crystallinity.

文摘Aramid papers (AP), made of aramid fibers, demonstrate superiority in electrical insulation applications. Unfortunately, the strength and electrical insulating properties of AP remain suboptimal, primarily due to the smooth surface and chemical inertness of aramid fibers. Herein, AP are modified via the nacre-mimetic structure composed of aramid nanofibers (ANF) and carbonylated basalt nanosheets (CBSNs). This is achieved by impregnating AP into an ANF-CBSNs (A-C) suspension containing a 3D ANF framework as the matrix and 2D CBSNs as fillers. The resultant biomimetic composite papers (AP/A-C composite papers) exhibit a layered “brick-and-mortar” structure, demonstrating superior mechanical and electrical insulating properties. Notably, the tensile strength and breakdown strength of AP/A-C5 composite papers reach 39.69 MPa and 22.04 kV mm^(−1), respectively, representing a 155 % and 85 % increase compared to those of the control AP. These impressive properties are accompanied with excellent volume resistivity, exceptional dielectric properties, impressive folding endurance, outstanding heat insulation, and remarkable flame retardance. The nacre-inspired strategy offers an effective approach for producing highly promising electrical insulating papers for advanced electrical equipment.

文摘This study introduces a cut-to-fit methodology for customizing bulk aramid aerogels into form factors suitable for wearable energy storage.Owing to strong intercomponent bonds within aramid-based building blocks,it is possible to delaminate layered bulk aerogel into flexible and thinner sheets,enabling efficient mass production.This process allows for precise customization of aerogel dimensions,shape,and elasticity,ensuring high resilience to deformation along with excellent thermal and impact resistance.Incorporation of conductive carbon nanotubes on the surface significantly enhances electrical conductivity and multi-catalytic activity while retaining the inherent advantages of aramids.These advancements facilitate the use of flexible and conductive electrodes as air cathodes in solid-state zinc–air batteries(ZABs),which demonstrate superior cyclic performance and lifecycles exceeding 160 h.Furthermore,aramid-based packaging provides superior protection for pouch-type ZABs,ensuring a consistent power supply even in severe conditions.These batteries are capable of withstanding structural deformations and absorbing physical and thermal shocks,such as impacts and exposure to fire.Moreover,the innovative reassembly of custom-cut single-pouch cells into battery modules allows for enhanced power output,tailored to wearable applications.This highlights the potential of the technology for a wide array of wearable devices requiring dependable energy sources in demanding environments.

文摘In recent years,polymer-based triboelectric nanogenerators(TENGs)have been increasingly applied in the field of flexible wearable electronics.However,the lack of flame retardancy of existing TENGs greatly lim-its their applications in extreme circumstances.Herein,an ultra-thin and highly flexible aramid nanofiber(ANF)/MXene(Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x))/Ni nanochain composite paper was prepared through vacuum-assisted filtration and freeze-drying technology.Owing to the synergistic effect between ANF and MXene,the composite paper not only possessed excellent mechanical properties,which were able to withstand over 10,000 times its own weight,but also exhibited outstanding flame-retardant and controllable Joule heating ca-pabilities.Moreover,the mechanical energy capture characteristics of the composite paper-based TENG were evaluated,resulting in the open-circuit voltage(55.6 V),short-circuit current(0.62μA),and trans-ferred charge quantity(25μC).It also could enable self-powering as a wearable electronic device with an instantaneous power of 15.6μW at the optimal external resistance of 10 MΩ.This work is intended to set TENG as safe energy harvesting devices for reducing fire hazards,and will provide a new strategy to broaden the application ranges of TENG.
文摘Nanofiber carbon aerogels with 3D interconnected microfibrillar networks exhibit fascinating physical properties and present great application potential.However,it is still a challenge to fabricate superelastic nanofiber carbon aerogels owing to their extremely dilute brittle interconnections and poor fiber toughness after carbonization.Herein,aramid nanofibers(ANF)/nanocellulose(CNF)dual-fibrous carbon aerogels are prepared,which exhibited supercompressibility and superelasticity due to the"skeleton-binder"synergistic effect of ANF and CNF and the design of in-plane micro-wrinkle honeycomb structure.The"skeleton-binder"synergistic effect improves interfacial interactions of nanofibers and optimizes the stress distribution of carbon aerogel.The highly ordered honeycomb structure with in-plane microwrinkles,formed by the bidirectional freezing and the difference in volume shrinkage during the carbonization between CNFs and ANFs,endows the CNF/ANF carbon aerogel with negative Poisson's ratio and high energy absorption capacity.These strategies significantly improve the overall mechanical properties of ANF/CNF carbon aerogel including the elasticity and fatigue resistance.As a result,the ultralight carbon aerogel(3.46 mg/cm^(3))exhibits excellent supercompression(undergoing an extreme strain of 95%)and elasticity(a stress retention up to 81.38% at 90% strain with 500 cycles and 96.15% at 50%strain with 10,000 cycles).The nanofiber carbon aerogel shows excellent multifunctional properties in flexible piezoresistive sensor and anisotropic thermal insulation materials,including a desirable sensitivity(as high as 48.74 kPa^(-1))and an instant response time(~40 ms),an anisotropy factor of 3.69 and an ultralow radial thermal conductivity(0.012 W m^(-1) K^(-1)).These properties make dual-fibrous carbon aerogels highly attractive in pressure sensors and thermal management applications.

文摘Although lightweight aramid paper honeycombs are highly desirable for microwave absorption owing to their dual functions of both load-bearing and microwave-absorbing,unsatisfactory microwave absorption,inferior mechanical and inadequate thermal properties present significant challenges for practical applications in diverse complex scenarios.Herein,lightweight,high-strength and flame-retardant aramid nanofibers-based honeycombs(MANHs)for integrated microwave absorption and thermal insulation are successfully fabricated via the hydrogen bonding assembly,mold forming and aerogel filling strategy using aramid waste as raw material.The dense network structure formed by the interwoven aramid nanofibers(ANFs)in the honeycomb body acts as a framework endows the MANH with impressive mechanical performance,and the specific strength and toughness of MANH reach 153.6 MPa g^(−1) cm^(−3) and 13.9 MJ m^(−3),respectively,which are 3.5 and 19 times higher than those of commercial microwave absorption honeycombs(CMAH).The ultralight MXene/ANFs aerogels(a density of 25 mg cm^(−3))with multiscale pore structure filled in the honeycomb apertures give the honeycomb outstanding microwave absorption performance,with a minimum reflection loss of−62.5 dB,and can cover the entire X-band with a thickness of only 3.5 mm.Meanwhile,compared with CMAH,the thermal insulation and flame-retardant performance of MANH are also significantly improved.Notably,MANH also demonstrates favorable sound absorption performance at high-frequency bands.The MANH is considered to be a promising candidate for aerospace and military stealth applications as a result of its lightweight,high strength,exceptional microwave absorption,and remarkable thermal insulation performance.
