However, the adhesive transfer phenomenon frequently occurs when the radial rubbing generates between titanium alloy blade tips and aluminum-based coating. It tends to increase scratch force and results in blades vibration and even engine jam. To eliminate this problem, a new lightweight epoxy-based abradable seal coating with high bonding strength was developed by an effective and porosity controllable mixing process that distributes spherical pores uniformly in the continuous matrix. A lightweight coating of 63% porosity with a hardness of 33.1(HR15 Y) can be reached when the content of hollow microspheres is 31 wt.%. The coating density is 0.5 g/cm3 and the bonding strength is as high as 18 MPa.The performance of the epoxy-based coating is comprehensively better than aluminum-based coatings in five essential indices. This study is expected to provide a new technical path for obtaining high-quality abradable seal coatings to guarantee the efficient and safe operation of compressors.展开更多

The water contact angle and chemical solution resistance of the epoxy-based coatings were improved with an increase in graphene content from 0 to 0.4%. These results prove that addition of graphene can significantly improve the hydrophobicity and impermeability of epoxy- based coatings. However, when the graphene content was increased to 0.5%, the performance of the epoxy-based coatings decreased because of graphene aggregation. Tafel polarization results show that graphene addition can significantly reduce the corrosion current density and corrosion potential of epoxy-based coatings, which enhance their anti-corrosion performance.展开更多

The structures and properties of the azo polymers were characterized by using 1H-NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis and thermal analyses. The photoinduced birefringence of the azo polymers was studied by irradiating spin-coated films of the polymers with laser beam at three different wavelengths （488, 532, and 589 nm）. The results indicate that the photoinduced birefringence of the azo polymers is related with the electron-withdrawing group on azo chromophores and the excitation wavelength. The excitation wavelength that can cause the efficient responses is determined by the absorption band positions of the a~：o chromophores, which are mainly affected by the electron-withdrawing group on the chromophores. Therefore, the,. azo polymers containing chromophores with different electron-withdrawing groups show different respon,;ive behavior to the irradiation light at different wavelengths. When irradiated with 488 nm light, PEP-AZ-Cl shows the shortest time to reach the saturated birefringence but with the lowest saturation birefringence level compared with the other two azo polymers. When irradiated with 532 nm light, PEP-AZ-CN shows the shortest time to reach the saturated birefringence. When irradiated with 532 and 589 nm light, PEP-AZ-NT shows the highest saturation birefringence level.展开更多
