利用射频辅助化学气相渗透(RF-CVI)加工超高温陶瓷基复合材料(UHTCMC)并提高其性能
Ultra-high temperature ceramic matrix composites (UHTCMCs) have been produced using a radio frequency assisted chemical vapour infiltration (RF-CVI) process. The composites were based on 2.5D carbon fibre preforms with a 0 / 90° (out of plane) fibre orientation and containing 23 % fibre volume fraction. These were initially impregnated with zirconium diboride (ZrB2) powder in the form of a slurry and then, after solvent removal, the majority of the porosity filled with pyrolytic carbon (PyC) using the RF-CVI process at 1273 K and 0.5 kPa chamber pressure. The latter resulted in a uniform rough laminar texture with good interfacial bonding. As intended, an inverse temperature profile was achieved using the RF heating, enabling uniform densification of the preform from the inside out, with no entrapped porosity and achieving 90 % of theoretical density in only 24 h, at least a tenfold reduction in processing time compared to the conventional CVI process and a fivefold reduction compared to other modified CVI processes such as forced flow or pressure gradient CVI. The resulting UHTCMCs displayed good mechanical strength and thermo-ablative behaviour.
超高温陶瓷基复合材料(UHTCMC)是利用射频辅助化学气相渗透(RF-CVI)工艺生产的。复合材料基于 2.5D 碳纤维预制件,纤维取向为 0/90°(平面外),纤维体积分数为 23%。在 1273 K 和 0.5 kPa 的室压下,使用 RF-CVI 工艺将二硼化锆(ZrB2)粉末以浆料形式浸渍,然后在去除溶剂后,用热解碳(PyC)填充大部分孔隙。后者产生了具有良好界面结合力的均匀粗糙层状纹理。如预期的那样,利用射频加热实现了反向温度曲线,使预型件从内向外均匀致密化,没有夹带孔隙,仅用 24 小时就达到了理论密度的 90%,与传统的 CVI 工艺相比,加工时间至少缩短了十倍,与强制流或压力梯度 CVI 等其他改良 CVI 工艺相比,缩短了五倍。所得 UHTCMC 具有良好的机械强度和热烧蚀性能。

通过界面扩散和组装,采用界面互锁策略提升羊毛纺织品的循环利用率,制备聚丙烯复合材料
Substantial waste of wool textiles, along with a lack of effective treatment technology, has resulted in a significant resource and environmental constraints. Integrating wasted wool textiles with polymer is an effective way to prepare lightweight structural materials, but the resulting properties is closely linked to the interfacial interaction. Here, we proposed an interfacial manipulation strategy to direct interfacial diffusion and aggregation of amide-based nucleating agents (WBG) in polypropylene (PP)/wool fiber (WF) composites. Accordingly, the branched WBG fibers were anchored onto the WF surface to construct an interlocking interface between WF and PP so as to strengthen the interfacial interaction. The formation and regulation mechanism of the branched WBG fibers were demonstrated. Benefited from mechanical interlocking and β-nucleating function of the branched WBG fibers, the interfacial interaction between the WF and PP matrix was enhanced while the formation numerous β-PP was cultivated, endowing the composite with excellent strength and ductility. To demonstrate the application potential of this strategy, waste wool textiles were alternately embedded between WBG-containing PP sheets to create an interlocking interfacial laminate with an exceptional combination of strength and toughness, which is important to upcycle waste wool textiles.
羊毛纺织品的大量废弃,加上缺乏有效的处理技术,造成了严重的资源和环境制约。将废弃羊毛纺织品与聚合物结合是制备轻质结构材料的有效方法,但其性能与界面相互作用密切相关。在此,我们提出了一种界面操作策略,以引导聚丙烯(PP)/羊毛纤维(WF)复合材料中酰胺基成核剂(WBG)的界面扩散和聚集。因此,支化的 WBG 纤维被锚定在 WF 表面,在 WF 和 PP 之间构建了一个互锁界面,从而加强了界面相互作用。实验证明了支化 WBG 纤维的形成和调节机制。得益于支化 WBG 纤维的机械互锁和 β 成核功能,WF 与 PP 基体之间的界面相互作用得到了增强,同时还促进了大量 β-PP 的形成,使复合材料具有优异的强度和延展性。为了证明这种策略的应用潜力,我们将废羊毛纺织品交替嵌入含 WBG 的 PP 片材之间,从而制造出一种交错的界面层压材料,其强度和韧性兼备,这对于废羊毛纺织品的回收利用非常重要。

纳米-BN 和纳米纤维素协同增强了纤维素绝缘纸的机械、热和绝缘性能
The complex and demanding environments of high humidity, heat, altitude, and intricate electric fields necessitate higher standards for the mechanical, thermal stability, and electric insulation properties of insulating paper. However, a single nanomaterial alone struggles to enhance overall performance. Hence, we propose employing two-phase nanomaterials with distinct dimensions to synergistically enhance the performance of cellulose insulation paper. Accordingly, "simulation design directly guided experimental research" was utilized in constructing nano-BN/nanocellulose/cellulose (nano-BN/NFC/cellulose) models through molecular dynamics simulation, and its mechanical parameters, dielectric properties, thermal stability, and so on were simulated and calculated. Based on simulation results, suitable proportions of nano-BN/NFC/cellulose insulating paper were prepared. Nano-BN and NFC synergistically enhance the mechanical properties of insulating paper. The nano-BN, CNF, and cellulose are arranged layer by layer under the action of gravity, allowing the fillers to overlap diagonally along the plane, synergistically forming a thermally conductive network conducive to heat transfer. Additionally, a strong interfacial effect is formed between the three-phase materials, reducing the overall structure's polarization effect and charge accumulation, and synergistically enhancing electrical insulation performance. The 12%nano-BN/NFC/cellulose (P12) exhibits optimal overall performance and is expected to be used in power equipment operating in special environments with high humidity and heat.
高湿、高热、高海拔和复杂电场等复杂苛刻的环境要求对绝缘纸的机械性能、热稳定性和电绝缘性能提出更高的标准。然而,单靠一种纳米材料很难提高整体性能。因此,我们建议采用不同尺寸的两相纳米材料来协同提高纤维素绝缘纸的性能。因此,我们采用 "模拟设计直接指导实验研究 "的方法,通过分子动力学模拟构建了纳米 BN/纳米纤维素/纤维素(nano-BN/NFC/cellulose)模型,并对其力学参数、介电性能、热稳定性等进行了模拟和计算。根据模拟结果,制备出了合适比例的纳米-BN/NFC/纤维素绝缘纸。纳米 BN 和 NFC 协同增强了绝缘纸的机械性能。在重力作用下,纳米-BN、CNF 和纤维素逐层排列,使填料沿平面对角重叠,协同形成有利于热传递的导热网络。此外,三相材料之间形成了强烈的界面效应,降低了整体结构的极化效应和电荷积累,协同提高了电气绝缘性能。12%nano-BN/NFC/cellulose (P12) 具有最佳的整体性能,有望用于在高湿度和高热量的特殊环境中运行的电力设备。
