垂直排列石墨泡沫基聚合物复合材料的密度控制热性能和力学性能
The problem of thermal management of electronic devices leads to high demand of thermal interface materials (TIMs) with high thermal conductivity (TC) and softness. In this work, graphite foam (GFoam) was used to fabricate silicon rubber (SR) matrix-based TIMs by stacking and vertical cutting method. The obtained 75 vol% GFoam(100)/SR shows a high through-plane TC of 330.33 W m−1 K−1 due to the vertically aligned graphite layers. A strong correlation between the properties of the composites and the density of the fillers is found, providing a new perspective to adjust the properties of the composites. Composites with different proportions of GFoam and graphite film (GF) were prepared to further enhance the mechanical properties without obvious sacrifice of the thermal management performance. We believe that the design principles proposed in this work will be important for developing high-performance thermal management materials.
电子器件的热管理问题导致了对具有高导热性和柔软性的热界面材料的高需求。本研究以石墨泡沫(GFoam)为材料,采用叠层和垂直切割的方法制备硅橡胶基TIMs。所得的75 vol% GFoam(100)/SR由于石墨层垂直排列,其通过面TC高达330.33 W m−1 K−1。研究发现,复合材料的性能与填料的密度之间存在较强的相关性,为调整复合材料的性能提供了新的视角。制备了不同比例的GFoam和石墨膜(GF)复合材料,在不明显牺牲热管理性能的前提下进一步提高了材料的力学性能。我们相信,在这项工作中提出的设计原则将是开发高性能热管理材料的重要。

面向可持续材料开发的生物炭增强聚酰胺复合材料结构-性能相关性研究
This study explores the synthesis and characterization of polyamide/biochar composites via in situ polymerization of 12-aminolauric acid with varying biochar concentrations. The motivation behind this research is to enhance the properties of polyamide 12 (PA12) by integrating biochar, a sustainable material derived from biomass, to improve both performance and environmental impact. A detailed structure-property correlation analysis was conducted to assess the effects of biochar on PA12's morphology, mechanical behavior, crystallinity, thermal stability, viscoelastic performance, and environmental sustainability. Key findings include successful PA12 synthesis, confirmed by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Increased biochar content led to a decrease in molecular weight and an increase in crystallinity from 27 % to 38 %, suggesting enhanced nucleation effects. SEM analysis showed excellent dispersion and compatibility of biochar within the PA12 matrix, leading to significant improvements in tensile strength (from 38 ± 1 MPa to 54 ± 2 MPa) and modulus (from 745 ± 30 MPa to 2055 ± 65 MPa). Rheological tests demonstrated shear-thinning behavior, facilitating effective extrusion-based 3D printing of a complex object with 50 wt% biochar. A life cycle assessment revealed substantial environmental benefits, including a net reduction of 1.83 kg·CO₂ equiv.·kg⁻1 due to the use of biochar derived from wood pyrolysis. These findings highlight the potential of PA12/biochar composites as environmentally sustainable structural materials, combining enhanced functional properties with significant ecological advantages.

纤维增强聚合物复合材料中的微结构应变局部化现象:来自纳米级数字图像相关和有限元建模的见解
Multiscale models for fibre-reinforced polymer composites currently lack experimentally validated microscale damage descriptors as input parameters. This work demonstrates the occurrence of strain localisation phenomena at the fibre/matrix level using nanoscale digital image correlation. Unidirectional carbon-fibre reinforced epoxy and glass-fibre reinforced PMMA composites were loaded in transverse compression in a scanning electron microscope. Radial and shear strain maps were extracted and compared with finite element simulations based on a conventional elastoplastic model. Near the interface, an interphase layer is present in the matrix, presumably due to locally different polymerisation conditions. A skin-core structure was found in carbon fibres, corresponding to an increased transverse modulus towards the interface.
