文摘Utilization of ceramic wastes to fabricate concrete can not only effectively dispose the wastes,but also reduce the energy and source consumptions.Therefore,we fabricated a green ultra high performance concrete using ceramic waste powder(CWP)to replace 55%of cement,and ceramic waste aggregate(CWA)to replace 100%natural quartz sand.However,high content of ceramic wastes will harm the concrete performance including workability and mechanical properties.Therefore,a low-cost and low carbon nano-calcium carbonate(NC)was introduced to compensate for the defects caused by large amounts of CWP and CWA to workability and mechanical behavior.The experimental results show that the workability of ultra high performance concrete with large amounts of CWP and CWA(UHPCLCC)increases by 28.57%with NC content of 5%.Moreover,the flexural strengths,fracture energy,compressive strengths,and compressive toughness of UHPCLCC increase up to 29.6%,56.5%,20.4%,and 37.6%,respectively,which is caused by the nano-core effect of NC.

文摘In the booming field of handicraft art,pottery art,as a traditional craft that integrates the values of cultural inheritance and artistic innovation,has witnessed a continuous expansion of its teaching market,driven by the increasing emphasis on traditional culture and the rapid development of the cultural and creative industry.However,the traditional pottery throwing equipment currently used in pottery art teaching has become a development bottleneck.Its pedal-based rotation speed control method poses great challenges to beginners.Due to inexperience,beginners often find it extremely difficult to precisely adjust the rotation speed.Moreover,the lack of rotation speed control guidance tailored to different shaped blanks forces students to learn through repeated trial and error,which seriously hinders their systematic mastery of pottery throwing techniques.Meanwhile,in remote pottery art teaching,the high-latency problem of traditional communication technologies disrupts synchronous learning,reduces teaching effectiveness,and may even cause students to develop bad operating habits.A new type of linked pottery teaching and drawing machine and its communication system is developed.Taking advantage of the high-speed and low-latency characteristics of 5G networks,this system enables real-time synchronous rotation of the pottery throwing wheels used by students and those used by teachers in teaching,ensuring near-instant operation feedback in remote teaching scenarios and thus significantly improving teaching efficiency.This innovative achievement propels pottery art teaching towards the direction of intelligence and high efficiency,injecting new vitality into the inheritance and innovation of traditional pottery art techniques.

文摘Ceramic aerogels(CAs)have emerged as a significant research frontier across various applications due to their lightweight,high porosity,and easily tunable structural characteristics.However,the intrinsic weak interactions among the constituent nanoparticles,coupled with the limited toughness of traditional CAs,make them susceptible to structural collapse or even catastrophic failure when exposed to complex mechanical external forces.Unlike 0D building units,1D ceramic nanofibers(CNFs)possess a high aspect ratio and exceptional flexibility simultaneously,which are desirable building blocks for elastic CAs.This review presents the recent progress in electrospun ceramic nanofibrous aerogels(ECNFAs)that are constructed using ECNFs as building blocks,focusing on the various preparation methods and corresponding structural characteristics,strategies for optimizing mechanical performance,and a wide range of applications.The methods for preparing ECNFs and ECNFAs with diverse structures were initially explored,followed by the implementation of optimization strategies for enhancing ECNFAs,emphasizing the improvement of reinforcing the ECNFs,establishing the bonding effects between ECNFs,and designing the aggregate structures of the aerogels.Moreover,the applications of ECNFAs across various fields are also discussed.Finally,it highlights the existing challenges and potential opportunities for ECNFAs to achieve superior properties and realize promising prospects.

文摘Low reactivity and appropriate wettability between molten superalloys and ceramic materials are crucial for the production of high-quality superalloy castings.The sessile-drop experiment was employed to systematically investigate the interfacial reaction and wettability between the 4777DS1 superalloy and SiO_(2)-based ceramic core at various temperatures(1,480℃,1,500℃,1,520℃,and 1,550℃).The wetting behavior and interfacial reaction products at different temperatures were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS),and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The interfacial reaction process and products were discussed,and the thermodynamic behavior and interfacial reaction mechanisms were elucidated.The results demonstrate that the wetting behavior and interfacial reaction between the 4777DS1 alloy and the ceramic core are significantly influenced by temperature.The wettability angle exhibits a trend of initial decrease followed by an increase with rising temperature,reaching a maximum of 139°at 1,480℃,indicating poorer wettability of the 4777DS1 superalloy with the ceramic core and better casting properties at this specific temperature.The most intense interfacial reaction occurs at 1,520℃,resulting in the formation of the main interfacial reaction products such as Al_(2)O_(3),SiO_(2),and HfO_(2).Additionally,some crystal-like products rich in Si and Hf distribute on the reaction layer.

文摘Ceramic 4D printing,which integrates dynamic deformation with additive manufacturing,demonstrates significant potential in intelligent manufacturing,on-demand shaping of complex structures,and multifunctional device development.Its core advantage lies in endowing materials with environmentally responsive dynamic deformation capabilities.However,current technologies still face limitations in responsiveness,reversibility,and mechanical performance.To address these challenges,this study proposes a programmable ceramic precursor system based on synergistic reinforcement of phase-separating hydrogels and shape memory polymers,combined with a nano-ceramic particle enhancement strategy.Using stereolithography 3D printing,high-precision fabrication of complex structures was achieved.By adjusting precursor composition,programming time,and structural thickness,the phase-separation kinetics-driven delayed recovery mechanism was elucidated,enabling precise control over recovery onset time.Furthermore,the thermal response mechanism of the precursor materials is explored,along with their potential for multi-shape transformation in biomedical applications,which is further extended to shape memory polymer systems.By employing a layered printing strategy,the autonomous reversible deformation of ceramic precursors is realized,providing new possibilities for specific applications.

文摘Unmanned combat aerial vehicles require lightweight,stealth-capable exhaust systems.However,traditional metallic nozzles increase radar detectability and reduce range,while advanced composites offer high performance but are expensive.Therefore,to improve the operational range and survivability of unmanned combat aerial vehicles,a lightweight,high-temperature-resistant,oxidation-resistant,and low-observable composite exhaust nozzle is developed to replace conventional metallic straight-type nozzles.The nozzle features a double serpentine shape to reduce radar and infrared signatures and is manufactured as a monolithic structure using the filament winding process,accommodating the complex geometry and large size(length:1.8 m,width:0.8 m).The exhaust nozzle consists of a ceramic matrix composite made of silicon carbide fibers and a silicon oxycarbide matrix,which absorbs and scatters radio frequency signals while withstanding prolonged exposure to high-temperature(700℃)oxidizing environments typical of engine exhaust gases.The polysiloxane resin used to produce the silicon oxycarbide matrix poses significant challenges owing to its low tackiness and high viscosity variations depending on the presence of nanoparticles,making filament winding difficult.These challenges are addressed by optimizing resin viscosity and winding pattern design.As a result,the tensile strength of the composite specimens fabricated with the optimized viscosity increases by 228.03% before pyrolysis and 97.68%after pyrolysis,compared with that of the non-optimized specimens.In addition,the density and tensile strength of the composite processed via three cycles of polymer infiltration and pyrolysis increased by 13.08% and 80.37%,respectively,compared to those of the non-densified composite.High-temperature oxidation and flame tests demonstrate exceptional thermal and oxidative stability.Furthermore,when compared with carbon fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites,the developed composite exhibits a permittivity at least two levels lower and a reflection loss below7 dB within the frequency range of 9.3-10.9 GHz,underscoring its superior electromagnetic stealth performance.

文摘In a rapid cycling synchrotron(RCS),the magnetic field is synchronized with the beam energy,creating a highly dynamic magnetic environment.A ceramic chamber with a shielding layer(RF shield),composed of a series of copper strips connected to a capacitor at either end,is typically employed as a vacuum chamber to mitigate eddy current effects and beam coupling impedance.Consequently,the ceramic chamber exhibits a thin-walled multilayered complex structure.Previous theoretical studies have suggested that the impedance of such a structure has a negligible impact on the beam.However,recent impedance measurements of the ceramic chamber in the China Spallation Neutron Source(CSNS)RCS revealed a resonance in the low-frequency range,which was confirmed by further theoretical analysis as a source of beam instability in the RCS.Currently,the magnitude of this impedance cannot be accurately assessed using theoretical calculations.In this study,we used the CST Microwave Studio to confirm the impedance of the ceramic chamber.Further simulations covering six different types of ceramic chambers were conducted to develop an impedance model in the RCS.Additionally,this study investigates the resonant characteristics of the ceramic chamber impedance,finding that the resonant frequency is closely related to the capacitance of the capacitors.This finding provides clear directions for further impedance optimization and is crucial for achieving a beam power of 500 kW for the CSNS Phase-Ⅱ project(CSNS-Ⅱ).However,careful attention must be paid to the voltage across the capacitors.

文摘CO_(2) hydrogenation using protonic ceramic electrolysis cells(PCECs)to produce fuel gases such as CH_(4)and CO has been considered as a promising technology for effective CO_(2) utilization.However,the long-term stability of conventional PCECs based on Y and Yb doped BaZrO_(3)-BaCeO_(3)(BCZYYb)proton conductors is severely limited by their susceptibility to carbonate formation under high concentration CO_(2) .In this work,a new type PCEC based on CO_(2) -tolerant La_(5.6)WO_(11.4-δ)(LWO)material is firstly constructed.A three-layer porous-dense-porous LWO ceramic scaffold is fabricated via a pressing,dip-coating and cosintering process,followed by Ni and La_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)CoO_(3-δ)(LSC)catalyst impregnation to ensure the chemical compatibility among materials and form an efficient PCEC-based CO_(2) hydrogenation reactor.Benefits from the synergistic catalysis of nano nickel and LWO,the reactor gets a CH_(4)selectivity of over 50%at 600℃under 20%CO_(2) concentration,and it operates stably for over 320 h at 600–650℃under high CO_(2) concentrations of 50–80%,showing no degradation in CO_(2) conversion rate or CH_(4)selectivity.Postmortem analysis demonstrates that the CO_(2) absorption characteristics of LWO and the morphological uniformity of nano nickel lead to stable CO_(2) methanation.This study provides a viable strategy for designing highly stable PCEC-based CO_(2) hydrogenation reactors.

文摘This study addresses the challenge of directly determining the elastic modulus of complex shaped ceramic products—such as gas turbine combustor tiles—using conventional standardized methods,which are limited by specimen geometry.A rapid,non-destructive testing method based on the impulse excitation technique(IET)and a shape factor coefficient was proposed.Three types of shaped ceramic tiles were selected.The elastic modulus of standard rectangular specimens obtained by destructive sampling was used as the reference value,and the shape factor coefficient for each tile type was calibrated by combining the mass and fundamental frequency of the whole tile.Using this coefficient,the elastic modulus of whole tiles was calculated solely from non-destructively measured mass and frequency.The results show that the deviation between the elastic modulus derived from the proposed method and that from destructive testing is less than 5%,confirming the accuracy and reliability of the approach.The method overcomes the shape restrictions inherent in traditional testing,offering a fast,non-destructive solution suitable for onsite quality assessment and process control during the production of shaped ceramic components.

文摘Phenolic resins are widely used in thermal protection,yet achieving simultaneous improvement in thermal stability and mechanical strength remains challenging.In this work,a vinyl-modified silicone resin(VMTQ)was synthesized and incorporated into a boron phenolic resin(BPF)matrix.Three composite ceramic fillers,Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)-ZrO_(2)(ASZ),Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)-TiO_(2)(AST),and Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)-MgO(ASM),were further introduced to construct a multi-oxide synergistic reinforcement system.Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the maximum decomposition rate decreases by 0.2-0.3%⋅min^(-1),while the ASM/V3/BPF-3 composite exhibits a 74.53%increase in char yield at 800℃and a 163.3℃increase in initial decomposition temperature,confirming its significantly enhanced thermal stability.SEM/EDS and XRDanalyses reveal thatASZ,AST,and ASM promote the formation of stable ceramic phases,withASM generating the densest MgO-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)composite oxide layer.Mechanical testing demonstrates that ASZ improves vertical impact strength by 23.9%,AST increases parallel impact strength by 14.1%,andASMenhances bending strength by 34.5%(316.8 MPa).These results clearly indicate that the combination of VMTQ modification with multi-oxide ceramic fillers can effectively elevate both the thermal stability and mechanical performance of BPF-based composites,providing a practical pathway for designing high-performance resins for demanding thermal-environment applications.

文摘Ceramic cells promise ideal energy conversion and storage devices,making the development of efficient and robust air electrodes crucial for their application.In this study,a Ba_(0.4)Sr_(0.5)Cs_(0.1)Co_(0.7)Fe_(0.2)Nb_(0.1)O_(3−δ)(BSCCFN)air electrode,based on Ba_(0.5)Sr_(0.5)Co_(0.8)Fe_(0.2)O_(3−δ)(BSCF),is designed using a perovskite A-B-site ionic Lewis acid strength(ISA)polarization distribution strategy and is successfully applied in both oxygen-ion conducting solid oxide fuel cells(O-SOFCs)and proton-conducting reversible protonic ceramic cells(R-PCCs).When BSCCFN is used as the air electrode in O-SOFCs,a peak power density(PPD)of 1.45 W cm^(−2)is achieved at 650°C,whereas in R-PCCs,a PPD of 1.13 W cm^(−2)and a current density of−1.8 A cm^(−2)at 1.3 V are achieved at the same temperature and show stable reversibility over 100 h.Experimental measurements and theoretical calculations demonstrate that low-ISA Cs+doping accelerates the reaction kinetics of both oxygen ions and protons,while high-ISA Nb^(5+)doping enhances electrode stability.The synergistic effect of Cs^(+)and Nb^(5+)co-doping in the BSCCFN electrode lies in the ISA polarization distribution,which weakens the Co/Fe–O bond covalency,thereby promoting oxygen vacancy formation and facilitating the conduction of oxygen ions and protons.

文摘In this study,the design,analysis,manufacturing,and testing of a 3D-printed conformal microstrip array antenna for high-temperature environments is presented.3D printing technology is used to fabricate a curved ceramic substrate,and laser sintering and microdroplet spraying processes are used to add the conductive metal on the curved substrate.The problems of gain loss,bandwidth reduction,and frequency shift caused by high temperatures are addressed by using a proper antenna design,with parasitic patches,slots,and metal resonant cavities.The antenna prototype is characterized by the curved substrates and the conductive metals for the power dividers,the patch,and the ground plane;its performance is examined up to a temperature of 600℃in a muffle furnace and compared with the results from the numerical analysis.The results show that the antenna can effectively function at 600℃and even higher temperatures.

文摘To inhibit the interfacial(displacement)reaction between Hf and Al elements in the DZ125 superalloy and the Al_(2)O_(3) and SiO_(2) in the Al_(2)O_(3)-based ceramic shell,rare-earth oxides(La_(2)O_(3) and Y_(2)O_(3))were used as dopants into the shell.The effects of dopant types and contents(2 wt%,5 wt%and 8 wt%)on the wettability and interfacial reaction were investigated using the sessile-drop experiment,and the reaction products were analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD),a scanning electron microscope(SEM),an electron probe microanalyzer(EPMA)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),to clarify the mechanism of dopants in the interracial reaction.The results show that increasing the Y_(2)O_(3) doping content(2 wt%-8 wt%)reduces the surface porosity from 22.39%to 13.43%,and decreases the surface roughness from 3.25 to 2.28μm,which enhances the packing density of the shell surface.In the sintering process(1223 K,2 h),both La_(2)O_(3) and Y_(2)O_(3) dopants react with SiO_(2),forming La_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) and Y_(2)SiO_(5) on the shell surface.During the interfacial reaction process(1823 K,40 min),La_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) decomposes and reacts with Al_(2)O_(3) and HfO_(2),resulting in the formation of SiO_(2)·HfO_(2)·La_(2)O_(3) and Al_(2)O_(3)·HfO_(2)·La_(2)O_(3) ternary composite oxides within the reaction products.At 8 wt%La_(2)O_(3) dopant content,the interfacial reaction is exacerbated,resulting in the uneven wettability.Y_(2)SiO_(5) further reacts with Al_(2)O_(3) and SiO_(2) to form SiO_(2)·Al_(2)O_(3)·Y_(2)O_(3) ternary composite oxides,while Y_(2)O_(3) combines with Al_(2)O_(3) to form Al_(5)Y_(3)O_(12)(VAG),which stabilizes the oxides within the shell and inhibits the interfacial reaction,and significantly improves the surface quality of the DZ125 superalloy.As the Y_(2)O_(3) dopant content increases(2 wt%-8 wt%),the wetting angle increases from 97.8°to 110.6°.

文摘Some active metal oxides(Al_(2)O_(3),TiO_(2),and Cr_(2)O_(3))were selected as dopants to the Al_(2)O_(3)-based ceramic shells for investment casting of K417G superalloy.The effects of dopant types and contents(0,2,5,and 8 wt.%)on the wettability and interfacial reaction between the alloy and shell were investigated by a sessile-drop experiment.The results show that increasing the Al_(2)O_(3) doping contents(0−8 wt.%)reduces the porosity(21.74%−10.08%)and roughness(3.22−1.34μm)of the shell surface.The increase in Cr_(2)O_(3) dopant content(2−8 wt.%)further exacerbates the interfacial reaction,leading to an increase in the thickness of the reaction layer(2.6−3.1μm)and a decrease in the wetting angle(93.9°−91.0°).The addition of Al_(2)O_(3) and TiO_(2) dopants leads to the formation of Al_(2)TiO_(5) composite oxides in the reaction products,which effectively inhibits the interfacial reaction.The increase in TiO_(2) dopant contents(0−8 wt.%)further promotes the formation of Al_(2)TiO_(5),which decreases the thickness of the interfacial reaction layer(3.9−1.2μm)and increases the wetting angle(95.0°−103.8°).The introduced dopants enhance the packing density of the shell surface,while simultaneously suppress the diffusion of active metal elements from the alloy matrix to the interface.
