To explore the effect of different physical dispersion state of Eu-complex on the fluorescent property of the Eu-complex/silicon rubber composites, various quantifies of Eu(TTA)2(phen) (MA) were mixed with silicon rubber (SIR) and peroxide to form uncured composites. These composites were vulcanized to obtain cured Eu-complex/SiR composites at 250 ℃, which was higher than the melting-point of Eu-complex. The SEM, XRD, DSC, and the fluorescent measurement of these composites showed that both the complex molecules dispersed in the silicon rubber during the melting process and the parent Eu-complex particles had positive effects on fluorescent property, whereas the re-crystallized Eu-complex particles and the aggregating complexes formed during the melting-process had negative effects on fluorescent property. For the uncured composites, their fluorescent intensities almost did not change with the increasing amount of Eu-complex. Furthermore, for the composites with small content of Eu-complex, their fluorescent intensities decreased significantly after curing, and this difference in fluorescent intensity became smaller as the content of Eu-complex increases.展开更多

Based on its strain sensitivity, a skin-like sensitive layer which can continuously cover the structural surface to sense strain in large area was developed. The sensitive layer was applied to continuously monitor the deformation of a simply supported beam. The result indicates that the fractional change in electrical resistance of the sensitive layer reversibly reflects the beam deformation in each section and describes the distribution of the average strain of the beam. The effect of temperature change on the monitoring was studied by monitoring tests conducted at different temperatures ranging from 20 to 80 ℃, which reveals temperature sensitivity in the sensitive layer and the temperature dependence of the piezoresistive behavior when the temperature exceeds 50 ℃. By the application of differential conaection principle, a method for temperature compensation was established and the gauge factor for the monitoring was dramatically increased. This method was verified experimentally.展开更多

The structure variations of fillers during mixing and vulcanization processes were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). The effects of zinc disorbate amount on processing performance and glass transition temperature(Tg) of compounds and the mechanical properties of vulcanizates were also determined. The XRD and FTIR analyses results indicate that the zinc disorbate is formed from the reaction of zinc oxide and sorbic acid during the mixing procedure followed by graft copolymerizing with NR molecules to form composite networks during vulcanization, which is initiated by dicumyl peroxide. Thus the mechanical properties of NR-based composite are increased significantly and Tg shifted towards to higher temperature.展开更多

In this work, caryota-a new natural fiber for polymer composites is fabricated and their tensile, flexural and impact properties are estimated to be used in economical and lightweight load carrying structures. Laminates at different weight fraction (wt%) of 10 wt%, 20 wt%, 25 wt%, 30 wt%, 35 wt%, 40 wt% and 45 wt% are manufactured using a compression molding technique. Results asserted that the unidirectional arrangement having 40 wt% fiber posses good properties. Also the dynamic characteristics such as natural frequency and damping study are carried out for different wt% of unidirectional caryota fiber reinforced composite laminates by ex? perimental modal analysis. From this study, it has been asserted that by using the caryota fiber reinforced polyester composites, the traditional synthetic fiber can be replaced especially in automobile sector. If the caryota fiber reinforced composite material is applied properly, then its application fields will be improved.展开更多

The factors considered for experimental design were the UV(ultraviolet)-irradiation time, the concentrations of the initiator and solvent, and the kinds and concentrations of the silane coupling agent. The optimum operating conditions determined were UV-irradiation time of 25 min, an initiator concentration of 0–0.25 wt.%,solvent of N-Dimethylacetamide(DMAC), and silane coupling agent KH570 with a concentration of 7 wt.%. The obtained optimal parameters were located in the valid region and the experimental confirmation tests conducted showed good accordance between predicted and experimental values. Under these optimal conditions, the water absorption of the grafted modified glass fiber was improved from 13.6% to 23%; the tensile strength was enhanced and the peeling strength of the glass fiber reinforced PVDF composite membrane was improved by 23.7% and 32.6% with an AM concentration at 1 wt.% and 2 wt.%. The surface composition and microstructure of AM grafted glass fiber were studied via several techniques including Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance(FTIR-ATR) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX). The analysis of the EDX and FTIR-ATR results confirmed that the AM was grafted to the glass fiber successfully by detecting and proving the existence of nitrogen atoms in the GFRP-CM.展开更多

摘要The toughening of epoxy resin(EP)and the interlaminar toughening of carbon fiber reinforced composite(CF/EP)laminates have been widely concerned.In this work,the needle-likeγ-FeOOH nanoparticles were prepared by liquid phase deposition-air oxidation method,and then were calcined under different conditions to obtainγ-FeOOH andγ-Fe2O3 hybrid nanoparticles(γ-FeOOH@Fe2O3).Effect of calcination condition ofγ-FeOOH@-Fe2O3 and magnetic field assistance on fracture toughness(KIC)of EP was systematically investigated.Then the selectedγ-FeOOH@Fe2O3 with the best toughening effect were used to improve the mode I interlaminar fracture toughness(GIC)of CF/EP laminate.The resultingγ-FeOOH@Fe2O3 have a length of around 1μm,a diameter of around 100 nm and the Ms of 8.99–45.96 emu/g.After calcinated at 250℃ for 1 h,theγ-FeOOH@Fe2O3 containing 24 wt%FeOOH and 76 wt%Fe2O3 achieved the best toughening effect.Under a magnetic field of 0.09 T,the KIC of theγ-FeOOH@Fe2O3/EP composite(2.45 MPa m1/2) is 81.7%and 66.7%higher than that of neat epoxy and the composite without magnetic field induction,respectively.Furthermore,the GIC of theγ-FeOOH@Fe2O3/CF/EP composite(0.914 kJ/m2) is also significantly increased by 88.8%and 51.8%compared to that of CF/EP and the corresponding composite without magnetic field induction,respectively.

摘要Many works have been made for predicting the failure of composite joints.However,there is still lack of method for multi-bolted composite joints subjected to the hygrothermal environment.In this work,a characteristic curve-based numerical framework is proposed,which includes two main steps and shows low computational cost.Firstly,a 3D finite element model considering hygrothermal effects is established to analyze the bolt-load distribution of multi-bolted joints.Secondly,a new characteristic curve considering the hygrothermal influence is used to obtain the failure pattern and strength of composite joints.The two-,three-and four-bolted composite joints with-55℃/dry(CTD),23℃/dry(RTD)and 70℃/wet(ETW)conditions are investigated.The test outcomes present good agreement with predicted results,which illustrates the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method.Meanwhile,it is shown that the environmental condition affects the bolt-load ratio slightly,but does not change the location of the key loaded hole.Furthermore,deviations of the strengths in CTD and ETW conditions are about 5%and-16%from that in the RTD condition,respectively.The environmental condition does not affect the failure modes of two-and three-bolted joints,whereas changes the failure mode of the four-bolted joint.The proposed method is efficient,reliable and needs only linear elastic FE analysis,making it applicable for engineering practice.

摘要PLLA-magnesium composites have been widely investigated as potential biodegradable materials for bone implants.Lower/higher corrosion resistance of the crystalized/amorphous magnesium alloys allows tailoring of biodegradability rate.In this work,the amorphous Mg65Zn30Ca5was investigated versus traditional crystalized Mg65Zn30Ca5,and a PLLA-Mg65Zn30Ca5composite has been successfully fabricated using hot injection process.Furthermore,the high corrosion resistance of the amorphous Mg65Zn30Ca5prevented the high alkalization and deterioration of mechanical strength.In addition,the high Zn content intended to improve the glass forming ability,also enhances the anti-bacterial property of the PLLA-Mg65Zn30Ca5composite.The remarkable performance of the PLLA-Mg65Zn30Ca5composite shows its promising application in bone repair and tissue regeneration.

摘要The natural rubber/zinc disorbate composite was prepared by the in situ formation of zinc disorbate from zinc oxide and sorbic acid in natural rubber. The structure variations of fillers during mixing and vulcanization processes were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). The effects of zinc disorbate amount on processing performance and glass transition temperature(Tg) of compounds and the mechanical properties of vulcanizates were also determined. The XRD and FTIR analyses results indicate that the zinc disorbate is formed from the reaction of zinc oxide and sorbic acid during the mixing procedure followed by graft copolymerizing with NR molecules to form composite networks during vulcanization, which is initiated by dicumyl peroxide. Thus the mechanical properties of NR-based composite are increased significantly and Tg shifted towards to higher temperature.
摘要Polymer composites reinforced with the biofibers are found to have improved applications in many fields and also they can reduce the environmental effect. In this work, caryota-a new natural fiber for polymer composites is fabricated and their tensile, flexural and impact properties are estimated to be used in economical and lightweight load carrying structures. Laminates at different weight fraction (wt%) of 10 wt%, 20 wt%, 25 wt%, 30 wt%, 35 wt%, 40 wt% and 45 wt% are manufactured using a compression molding technique. Results asserted that the unidirectional arrangement having 40 wt% fiber posses good properties. Also the dynamic characteristics such as natural frequency and damping study are carried out for different wt% of unidirectional caryota fiber reinforced composite laminates by ex? perimental modal analysis. From this study, it has been asserted that by using the caryota fiber reinforced polyester composites, the traditional synthetic fiber can be replaced especially in automobile sector. If the caryota fiber reinforced composite material is applied properly, then its application fields will be improved.

摘要Experimental design and response surface methodology(RSM) were used to optimize the modification of conditions for glass surface grafting with acrylamide(AM) monomer for preparation of a glass fiber reinforced poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) composite membrane(GFRP-CM). The factors considered for experimental design were the UV(ultraviolet)-irradiation time, the concentrations of the initiator and solvent, and the kinds and concentrations of the silane coupling agent. The optimum operating conditions determined were UV-irradiation time of 25 min, an initiator concentration of 0–0.25 wt.%,solvent of N-Dimethylacetamide(DMAC), and silane coupling agent KH570 with a concentration of 7 wt.%. The obtained optimal parameters were located in the valid region and the experimental confirmation tests conducted showed good accordance between predicted and experimental values. Under these optimal conditions, the water absorption of the grafted modified glass fiber was improved from 13.6% to 23%; the tensile strength was enhanced and the peeling strength of the glass fiber reinforced PVDF composite membrane was improved by 23.7% and 32.6% with an AM concentration at 1 wt.% and 2 wt.%. The surface composition and microstructure of AM grafted glass fiber were studied via several techniques including Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FESEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance(FTIR-ATR) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX). The analysis of the EDX and FTIR-ATR results confirmed that the AM was grafted to the glass fiber successfully by detecting and proving the existence of nitrogen atoms in the GFRP-CM.

摘要Cross-linked polystyrene/glass fiber composites were fabricated using cross-linked polystyrene(CLPS)as matrix and E-glass fiber as the reinforcement.Surfaces of E-glass fibers were modified by vinyl triethoxysilane(VTES),vinyl trimethoxysilane(VTMS)andγ-methacryloylpropyl trimethoxysilane(MPS).The treated glass fibers were analyzed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR).Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis(DMTA)and thermo-gravimetric analysis(TGA)were employed to investigate the effect of glass fibers surface modification on viscoelastic behavior and thermal properties.The morphology of fracture surfaces of various composites was observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The results revealed that these coupling agents were connected to the surfaces of the fibers by chemical bonding.Dynamic mechanical properties as well as thermal stability of the composites were improved considerablely,but to varying degrees depending on the fiber modification.The diversities of improvement of properties were attributed to the different interfacial adhesion between CLPS matrix and the glass fibers.

摘要The effect of interfacial modification on flexural strength of epoxy composites filled with modified ZrB2-Al2O3 composite fillers was investigated in order to explore the stress distribution of modified composites under external load.The mechanical performance of epoxy composites filled with 0 vol%,1 vol%,3 vol%and 5 vol%unmodified and modified ZrB2-Al2O3 fillers was characterized by three point bending(TPB)tests.The fracture surfaces of epoxy composites were observed by scanning electronic microscope(SEM).The results showed that the epoxy composite reinforced by 1 vol%modified fillers exhibited the optimal mechanical performance.According to the Von Mises stress contours simulated by finite element models(FEM)and the SEM images,it was shown that the modified ZrB2-Al2O3 multiphase fillers could homogenize the stress in the epoxy composites due to the transition effect resulted from the interfacial modification layers on the surfaces of multiphase fillers.It contributed to the improvement of mechanical performance of epoxy composites further.

摘要The endeavor to attain prolonged stability and heightened electromagnetic interference shielding effec-tiveness(EMI SE)in polymer-matrix composites remains an arduous pursuit,particularly when subjected to external mechanical trauma or adverse environmental conditions.In this context,a self-healing and efficient EMI shielding polycaprolactone(PCL)composite with a unique electromagnetic gradient and interface-metalized segregated structure is assembled through layer-by-layer casting and a hot-pressing process.The combined effect of the induction of the electromagnetic gradient layer and the massive mul-tiple interface reflection and scattering from the segregated-like structure results in an exceptional EMI SE of 57.0 dB and a low reflection(R)value of only 0.28.Additionally,the composite boasts impressive photothermal and electrothermal properties,allowing for self-healing under solar irradiation or electri-cal stimulation.Remarkably,this self-healing capability has been demonstrated through five cutting and healing cycles,exhibiting an impressive EMI SE retention rate of 88%.Consequently,the composite with rapid photo/electro-driven self-healing properties will be able to maintain EMI shielding performance.
