The composite consists of chlorinated polyethylene （CPE）, N,N-dicyclohexyl-2-benzothiazolylsufenamide （DZ）, 4,4＇-thio-bis（3-methyl-6-tert-buthylphenol） （BPSR） and vapor-grown carbon fiber （VGCF）. It is found that either the position or the intensity of damping peak can be controlled by changing the composition of CPE/DZ/BPSR composite. Within a certain composition region, damping peak maximum depends on CPE/DZ ratio, whereas damping peak position is controlled by BPSR content. Moreover, the improvement of storage modulus can be achieved by incorporation of VGCF. These results may imply that a damping material possessing both good damping properties and high strength can be designed and obtained.展开更多

An insulating material may suffer from the most different efforts, but the major applications suggest mechanical bending and compression tests because the insulation can be applied on roofs of homes, liners similar to, in the form of plates. Thus, the product is continually flexed. When the material is used on a floor, it suffers constant compressions over its use. For tests performed in this study, we used the ASTM D695-96 for compression, an example of literature. Using such a standard test, specimens were produced for compression test, with specimens made of cylindrical shapes, respecting the condition that the height of the specimen corresponds to twice the diameter of the base. Polyurethane castor without charge vermiculite and mass loads of 10%, 15% and 20% matrix： four specimens for each type of material were produced. The composites were tested in a universal testing machine at a speed of 2 mm/s. The results are average values of four test samples, and initially show the behavior of castor oil polyurethane during the compression test, which is detailed in the stress versus strain curve. The achieved results are promising, and detailed in this paper.展开更多

However, a single inorganic or organic solid electrolyte cannot meetthe requirements of commercial all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), which motivates the composite polymerelectrolyte (CPE). Herein, a CPE of boron nitride nanofiber (BNNF) with a high specific surface area, richpore structure, and poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) are reported. Anions strongly adsorb on the surface ofBNNF through electrostatic interactions based on oxygen vacancies, promoting the dissociation of lithiumsalts at the two-phase interface. The three-dimensional (3D) BNNF network provides three advantagesin the CPE, including (i) improving ionic conductivity through strong interaction between polymers andfillers, (ii) improving mechanical properties through weaving a robust skeleton, and (iii) improving stability through a rapid and uniform thermal dispersion pathway. Therefore, the CPE with BNNF delivers highionic conduction of 4.21 × 10^(−4) S cm^(−1) at 60 ℃ and excellent cycling stability (plating/stripping cyclesfor 2000 h with a low overpotential of ∼40 mV), which results in excellent electrochemical performanceof LiFePO_(4) (LFP) full cell assembled with CPE-5BNNF-1300 (152.7 mAh g^(−1) after 200 cycles at 0.5 C, and134.8 mAh g^(−1) at 2.0 C). Furthermore, when matched with high-voltage LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2) (NCM622), italso exhibits an outstanding rate capacity of 120.4 mAh g^(−1) at 1.0 C. This work provides insight into theBNNF composite electrolyte and promotes its practical application for ASSBs.展开更多

The results indicated that MAH modifiedβ-CD （MAH-β-CD） could polymerize to NIPAM by UV light irradiation in the presence of TiO2-MWCNTs composite nanoparticles. The characteristic results confirmed that the TiO2-MWCNTs composite nanoparticles were embedded evenly within the thermally responsive copolymer of NIPAM and MAH-β-CD. The effects of irradiation time and TiO2-MWCNTs concentration on the yield of the composites were investigated by keeping NIPAM to MAH-β- CD mass ratio constant. The optimal polymerization reaction conditions were a TiO2-MWCNTs concentration of 10 wt.% under UV light for the illumination of 3 h.展开更多

Incorporation of elastomeric nano-particles and carbon nanotubes hinders the coalescing of metal particles and causes a shift to the breakup direction in the breakup/coalescence equilibrium of metal particles. The prime metal particles （about 26 μm） are in situ converted into the ultra-fine metal particles （UFMP, about 932 nm）. The network of carbon nanotubes has been improved due to in situ ultra-fine metal particles and the percolation threshold of the composite with 1.96 vol% UFMP is only 0.25 vol% carbon nanotubes.展开更多

In this work, the changes of structure and solid particle erosion resistance for CF/PC composites after ultraviolet irradiation were studied. It was shown that ultraviolet irradiation causes photo-oxygen aging and photo-fries re-arrangement of the composite, and the result was confirmed by FTIR. We correlated the solid particle erosion resistance with aging time, and found that the solid particle erosion resistance of CF/PC composites greatly decreased by UVB irradiation during 15 hours. Furthermore, the eroded material surface was analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). It suggests that ultraviolet aging leads to plasticization and degradation, resulting in reduction of erosion resistance of the composite.展开更多

The polyacrylamide/bentonite composite （PAA-B） was prepared by intercalative polymerization of acrylamide with Nabentonite in the presence of N,N＇-methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinking agent and hexamethylenediammine as propagater. PAA-B was subsequently treated with ethylenediammine to increase its loading capacity for HA. The surface characterizations of the adsorbent were investigated. The adsorbent behaved like a cation exchanger and more than 99.0% removal of dyes was detected at pH range 6.0-8.0. The capacity of HA-Am-PAA-B was found to decrease in the following order： MG〉MB〉CV. The kinetic and isotherm data were interpreted by pseudo-second order rate equation and Freundlich isotherm model, respectively. Experiments were carried out using binary solute systems to assess the competitive adsorption phenomenon. The experimental isotherm data for each binary solute combination of MG, MB and CV were analyzed using Sheindrof-Rebhun-Sheintuch （SRS） （multicomponent Freundlich type） equation.展开更多

Therefore, the CPE with BNNF delivers highionic conduction of 4.21 × 10^(−4) S cm^(−1) at 60 ℃ and excellent cycling stability (plating/stripping cyclesfor 2000 h with a low overpotential of ∼40 mV), which results in excellent electrochemical performanceof LiFePO_(4) (LFP) full cell assembled with CPE-5BNNF-1300 (152.7 mAh g^(−1) after 200 cycles at 0.5 C, and134.8 mAh g^(−1) at 2.0 C). Furthermore, when matched with high-voltage LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2) (NCM622), italso exhibits an outstanding rate capacity of 120.4 mAh g^(−1) at 1.0 C. This work provides insight into theBNNF composite electrolyte and promotes its practical application for ASSBs.

文摘AZ31 magnesium alloy fibers reinforced poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） （PLGA） composites were prepared and their mechanical property, immersion corrosion behavior and biocompatibility were studied. The tensile test showed that with the addition of AZ31 fibers, the composites had a significant increment in tensile strength and elongation. For the direct cell attachment test, all the cells showed a healthy morphology and spread well on the experimental sample surfaces. The immersion results indicated that pH values of the immersion medium increased with increasing AZ31 fiber contents. All the in vitro experimental results indicated that this new kind of magnesium alloy fibers reinforced PLGA composites show a potential for future biomedical applications.

文摘In this report, a novel thermosensitive poly（N-isopropylacrylamide-co-maleic anhydride-β-cyclodextrin）/（TiO2-multi-wal,led carbon nanotubes） （poly（NIPAM-co-MAH-β-CD）/（TiO2-MWCNTs）） composite was synthesized by UV light photoinitiating method. The results indicated that MAH modifiedβ-CD （MAH-β-CD） could polymerize to NIPAM by UV light irradiation in the presence of TiO2-MWCNTs composite nanoparticles. The characteristic results confirmed that the TiO2-MWCNTs composite nanoparticles were embedded evenly within the thermally responsive copolymer of NIPAM and MAH-β-CD. The effects of irradiation time and TiO2-MWCNTs concentration on the yield of the composites were investigated by keeping NIPAM to MAH-β- CD mass ratio constant. The optimal polymerization reaction conditions were a TiO2-MWCNTs concentration of 10 wt.% under UV light for the illumination of 3 h.
文摘In this study,the effect of influencing parameters on the stress distribution around a polygonal cutout within a laminated composite under uniform heat flux was analytically examined.The analytical method was developed based on the classical laminated plate theory and two-dimensional thermo-elastic method.A mapping function was employed to extend the solution of a perforated symmetric laminate with a circular cutout to the solution of polygonal cutouts.The effect of significant parameters such as the cutout angular position,bluntness and aspect ratio,the heat flux angle and the laminate stacking sequence in symmetric composite laminate containing triangular,square and pentagonal cutouts was studied.The Neumann boundary condition was used at the edges of the thermally insulated polygonal cutout.The laminate was made of graphite/epoxy(AS/3501) material with two different stacking sequences of [30/45]sand[30/0/-30]_(s).The analytical solutions were well validated against finite element results.

文摘Composites featuring negative permittivity have garnered significant attention for their potential in novel capacitance designs,coil-less electrical inductors,and electromagnetic shielding applications.In this study,we prepared polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)matrix composites filled with ZrO_(2)/C nanoparticles de-rived from metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)via a hot-pressing method.With an increase in the ZrO_(2)/C content to 30 wt.%,electrical percolation was observed,accompanied by a transition mechanism from hopping conduction to metal-like conduction.This enabled the realization of ZrO_(2)/C/PVDF composites with tailorable negative permittivity properties,attributed to the plasmonic oscillation of free electrons in the composites beyond the percolation threshold(30 wt.%).Furthermore,the permittivity transition along to a shift in the electrical behavior of the percolative composites from capacitive to inductive.We explored the regulatory mechanism behind the negative permittivity in this random composite system,and our findings highlight the potential of these tunable negative permittivity media as promising candi-dates for diverse electromagnetic applications.
文摘A conductive polymeric composite containing in situ ultra-fine metal particles is prepared by melt blending. Incorporation of elastomeric nano-particles and carbon nanotubes hinders the coalescing of metal particles and causes a shift to the breakup direction in the breakup/coalescence equilibrium of metal particles. The prime metal particles （about 26 μm） are in situ converted into the ultra-fine metal particles （UFMP, about 932 nm）. The network of carbon nanotubes has been improved due to in situ ultra-fine metal particles and the percolation threshold of the composite with 1.96 vol% UFMP is only 0.25 vol% carbon nanotubes.
文摘The service life and properties of Carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate (CF/PC) composites are seriously affected by ultraviolet radiation from outdoor exposure during aging. In this work, the changes of structure and solid particle erosion resistance for CF/PC composites after ultraviolet irradiation were studied. It was shown that ultraviolet irradiation causes photo-oxygen aging and photo-fries re-arrangement of the composite, and the result was confirmed by FTIR. We correlated the solid particle erosion resistance with aging time, and found that the solid particle erosion resistance of CF/PC composites greatly decreased by UVB irradiation during 15 hours. Furthermore, the eroded material surface was analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). It suggests that ultraviolet aging leads to plasticization and degradation, resulting in reduction of erosion resistance of the composite.

文摘Highly conductive polymer composites(CPCs) with excellent mechanical flexibility are ideal materials for designing excellent electromagnetic interference(EMI) shielding materials,which can be used for the electromagnetic interference protection of flexible electronic devices.It is extremely urgent to fabricate ultra-strong EMI shielding CPCs with efficient conductive networks.In this paper,a novel silver-plated polylactide short fiber(Ag@PL ASF,AAF) was fabricated and was integrated with carbon nanotubes(CNT) to construct a multi-scale conductive network in polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) matrix.The multi-scale conductive network endowed the flexible PDMS/AAF/CNT composite with excellent electrical conductivity of 440 S m-1and ultra-strong EMI shielding effectiveness(EMI SE) of up to 113 dB,containing only 5.0 vol% of AAF and 3.0 vol% of CNT(11.1wt% conductive filler content).Due to its excellent flexibility,the composite still showed 94% and 90% retention rates of EMI SE even after subjected to a simulated aging strategy(60℃ for 7 days) and 10,000 bending-releasing cycles.This strategy provides an important guidance for designing excellent EMI shielding materials to protect the workspace,environment and sensitive circuits against radiation for flexible electronic devices.

文摘Composites that can rapidly self-healing their structure and function at room temperature have broad application prospects.However,in view of the complexity of composite structure and composition,its self-heal is facing challenges.In this article,supramolecular effect is proposed to repair the multistage structure,mechanical and thermal properties of composite materials.A stiff and tough supramolecular frameworks of 2-[[(butylamino)carbonyl]oxy]ethyl ester(PBA)–polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)were established using a chain extender with double amide bonds in a side chain to extend prepolymers through copolymerization.Then,by introducing the copolymer into a folded graphene film(FGf),a highly thermally conductive composite of PBA–PDMS/FGf with self-healing capacity was fabricated.The ratio of crosslinking and hydrogen bonding was optimized to ensure that PBA–PDMS could completely self-heal at room temperature in 10 min.Additionally,PBA–PDMS/FGf exhibits a high tensile strength of 2.23±0.15 MPa at break and high thermal conductivity of 13±0.2 W m^(−1)K^(−1);of which the self-healing efficiencies were 100%and 98.65%at room temperature for tensile strength and thermal conductivity,respectively.The excellent self-healing performance comes from the efficient supramolecular interaction between polymer molecules,as well as polymer molecule and graphene.This kind of thermal conductive self-healing composite has important application prospects in the heat dissipation field of next generation electronic devices in the future.
文摘Humic acid-immobilized amine modified polyacrylamide/bentonite composite （HA-Am-PAA-B） was prepared and used as an adsorbent for the adsorption of cationic dyes （Malachite Green （MG）, Methylene Blue （MB） and Crystal Violet （CV）） from aqueous solutions. The polyacrylamide/bentonite composite （PAA-B） was prepared by intercalative polymerization of acrylamide with Nabentonite in the presence of N,N＇-methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinking agent and hexamethylenediammine as propagater. PAA-B was subsequently treated with ethylenediammine to increase its loading capacity for HA. The surface characterizations of the adsorbent were investigated. The adsorbent behaved like a cation exchanger and more than 99.0% removal of dyes was detected at pH range 6.0-8.0. The capacity of HA-Am-PAA-B was found to decrease in the following order： MG〉MB〉CV. The kinetic and isotherm data were interpreted by pseudo-second order rate equation and Freundlich isotherm model, respectively. Experiments were carried out using binary solute systems to assess the competitive adsorption phenomenon. The experimental isotherm data for each binary solute combination of MG, MB and CV were analyzed using Sheindrof-Rebhun-Sheintuch （SRS） （multicomponent Freundlich type） equation.
