超弹性、柔软、可应力愈合、可回收的导电材料
We report the design of materials with a unique combination of self-healing ability, electrical conductivity (8-150 Ohm·m), softness (G = 1 MPa), extremely low loss coefficient (tan δ ≈ 0.04) even at large deformations and linearity of resistivity dependence on strain in a broad range. The conductive material can bounce with very low energy dissipation at fast deformation, and it flows and self-heals at a large time scale and when sufficient stress is applied. The key to such properties is a combination of very stable interpenetrated networks formed by multiwalled carbon-nanotubes (MWCNT) filler and by viscoelastic polyborosiloxane (PBS) polymer matrix rendering relaxation processes and self-healing ability. We demonstrated the promise of the developed materials for the design of strain sensors with a very large linear regime and rubber-substitute as a protective coating or a sealing agent material.
我们所设计的材料具有独特的自愈能力、导电性(8-150 欧姆-米)、柔软性(G = 1 兆帕)、极低的损耗系数(tan δ ≈ 0.04),即使在大变形和电阻率与应变的线性关系范围很宽的情况下也是如此。导电材料在快速变形时能以极低的能量耗散反弹,在大时间尺度和施加足够应力时能流动和自愈。这些特性的关键在于多壁碳纳米管(MWCNT)填料和具有粘弹性的聚硼硅氧烷(PBS)聚合物基体形成的非常稳定的互穿网络的结合,从而产生弛豫过程和自愈合能力。我们展示了所开发材料在设计应变传感器方面的前景,这些应变传感器具有非常大的线性范围,并可替代橡胶作为保护涂层或密封剂材料。

使用胺类固化剂对聚磷酸铵 (APP) 进行官能化,从而提高环氧树脂复合材料阻燃性和结构强度的新策略
Designing flame retardant polymeric coatings and fiber reinforced polymer composites that can retain superior structural strength continues to pose a significant challenge in many industrial applications because the common flame-retardant fillers significantly degrade mechanical strength. Herein, we present a novel method of functionalizing ammonium polyphosphate (APP) through the cationic ion exchange reaction with NH3 + cations contained in amine-based hardener so that the resulting particles can simultaneously improve structural strength and flame retardancy. This technique maintains the original epoxy’s composition while reducing peak heat release rate, total heat release, and total smoke release by 87%, 83%, and 95% respectively, enabling the polymer to meet the flame-retardant requirements for railway vehicle applications. The incorporation of the hardener-functionalized APP (HF-APP) at 20 wt% into epoxy demonstrates an impressive 92% retention of the tensile strength of the epoxy. Compared to the original APP, HF-APP are twice as effective in reducing total heat release and total smoke release, increasing limiting oxygen index, and improving strength retention. Finite element analysis of interface properties between the epoxy and the HF-APP particles reveals that the hybrid particles can separate into filaments at a stress level below the strength of the composite, significantly mitigating their impact on mechanical strength. This novel approach offers new design possibilities for a wide range of industries, such as construction and transportation where it is essential for structures to possess high mechanical strength and flame retardancy.
由于常见的阻燃填料会大大降低机械强度,因此在许多工业应用中,设计可保持优异结构强度的阻燃聚合物涂层和纤维增强聚合物复合材料仍然是一项重大挑战。在此,我们提出了一种新方法,通过阳离子交换反应将聚磷酸铵(APP)功能化,与胺基材料中含有的 NH3+胺类固化剂中含有的阳离子发生阳离子交换反应,使聚磷酸铵(APP)功能化,从而使生成的颗粒同时提高结构强度和阻燃性。这种技术在保持原有环氧树脂成分的同时,将峰值热释放率、总热释放量和总烟雾释放量分别降低了 87%、83% 和 95%,使聚合物能够满足铁路车辆应用的阻燃要求。在环氧树脂中加入 20 wt%的固化剂官能化 APP(HF-APP)后,环氧树脂的拉伸强度保持率达到 92%,令人印象深刻。与原始 APP 相比,HF-APP 在减少总热量释放和总烟雾释放、提高极限氧指数以及改善强度保持方面的效果是原始 APP 的两倍。对环氧树脂和 HF-APP 颗粒之间的界面特性进行的有限元分析表明,混合颗粒可以在低于复合材料强度的应力水平下分离成丝状,从而大大减轻了它们对机械强度的影响。这种新方法为建筑和运输等对结构具有高机械强度和阻燃性要求较高的行业提供了新的设计可能性。

超声波焊接期间碳纤维增强聚丙烯中温度分布的红外热成像测量
Herein, the temperature distribution during ultrasonic welding of carbon fiber–reinforced polypropylene (CF/PP) was investigated. The temperature distribution was assessed using a thermographic camera that specifically targeted the lateral aspect of the welded section of the adherend in the lap joint. In addition, single lap shear tests were performed on the resulting welded joints. The welding experiments confirmed that the amplitude of the sonotrode impacts both the temperature distribution during welding and the quality of the joint, eventually affecting the mode of failure. By applying the half-width method to the measured temperature distribution in the thickness direction of the adherend, we assessed the spread of the high-temperature region centered on the welding interface. In this study, at a small amplitude (36 μm), the half-width of the maximum temperature showed approximately twice higher slope than at other amplitudes, indicating a wider high-temperature range even at the same interface temperature.
本文研究了碳纤维增强聚丙烯(CF/PP)超声波焊接过程中的温度分布。温度分布的评估使用了热成像摄像机,该摄像机专门针对搭接接头中粘合剂焊接部分的侧面。此外,还对焊接接头进行了单搭接剪切试验。焊接实验证实,声波探针的振幅会影响焊接过程中的温度分布和接头质量,并最终影响失效模式。通过采用半宽法测量粘合剂厚度方向的温度分布,我们评估了以焊接界面为中心的高温区域的扩散情况。在这项研究中,在一个较小的振幅(36 μm)上,最高温度的半宽度显示出比其他振幅高约两倍的斜率,这表明即使在相同的界面温度下,高温范围也更宽。

向大自然学习:通过自组装在碳纤维表面构建 "刚柔并济 "结构,提高环氧树脂复合材料的性能
The firm interface phase played an important role in influencing the comprehensive performance of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRP). To increase the interfacial adhesion between fiber and epoxy resin, a “rigid-soft” structure consisted of boron nitride (BN) and soybean meal (SM) was constructed on CF surface by self-assembly method. The structure was beneficial to form a stress buffer area between CF and matrix, which would prevent crack propagation and brittle fracture of composites, as well as the stress concentration. The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS), interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and flexural strength of modified CF composites presented 44.2%, 77.9% and 52.5% increment, respectively, compared with pristine composites. The thermal conductivity was also increased by 148.5% after modification due to the excellent heat conductivity of BN and enhancement of interfacial bonding. This work was expected to offer a valuable reference for achieving outstanding properties of CF composites in the future.
牢固的界面相对碳纤维增强聚合物复合材料(CFRP)的综合性能具有重要影响。为了增加纤维与环氧树脂之间的界面粘附力,利用自组装方法在碳纤维表面构建了由氮化硼(BN)和豆粕(SM)组成的 "刚柔相济 "结构。该结构有利于在 CF 和基体之间形成应力缓冲区,从而防止复合材料的裂纹扩展和脆性断裂以及应力集中。与原始复合材料相比,改性 CF 复合材料的层间剪切强度(ILSS)、界面剪切强度(IFSS)和弯曲强度分别提高了 44.2%、77.9% 和 52.5%。由于 BN 具有优异的导热性并增强了界面粘合力,改性后的热导率也提高了 148.5%。这项研究有望为未来实现 CF 复合材料的优异性能提供有价值的参考。

有限应变下单向复合材料离轴蠕变断裂的微观力学模型
A microscale numerical framework for modeling creep rupture in unidirectional composites under off-axis loading is presented, building on recent work on imposing off-axis loading on a representative volume element. Creep deformation of the thermoplastic polymer matrix is accounted for by means of the Eindhoven Glassy Polymer material model. Creep rupture is represented with cohesive cracks, combining an energy-based initiation criterion with a time-dependent cohesive law and a global failure criterion based on the minimum in homogenized creep strain-rate. The model is compared against experiments on carbon/PEEK composite material tested at different off-axis angles, stress levels and temperatures. Creep deformation is accurately reproduced by the model, except for small off-axis angles, where the observed difference is ascribed to macroscopic variations in the experiment. Trends in rupture time are also reproduced although quantitative rupture time predictions are not for all test cases accurate.
在最近对代表性体积元素施加离轴载荷的研究基础上,提出了一种微尺度数值框架,用于模拟单向复合材料在离轴载荷作用下的蠕变断裂。热塑性聚合物基体的蠕变变形是通过埃因霍温玻璃聚合物材料模型来计算的。蠕变断裂用内聚裂纹表示,结合了基于能量的起始准则、随时间变化的内聚法则和基于均匀蠕变应变率最小值的整体破坏准则。该模型与在不同离轴角度、应力水平和温度下测试的碳/PEEK 复合材料实验进行了比较。模型准确地再现了蠕变变形,但小偏轴角除外,在小偏轴角下观察到的差异归因于实验中的宏观变化。虽然对断裂时间的定量预测并非对所有测试案例都准确,但模型也再现了断裂时间的趋势。

设计一种新型碳化聚吡咯纳米管(C-PNTs)增强铜复合材料,兼具良好的机械、电气和防腐蚀性能
In this study, a novel carbon-based nanomaterial, namely carbonized polypyrrole nanotubes (C-PNTs), were adopted to fabricate copper composites by powder metallurgy process. C-PNTs displayed excellent self-dispersion characteristics and inherent interface bonding, attributable to the distinctive corrugated configuration on the prismatic surface and abundance of nitrogen doping. A comprehensive comparison with commercially available carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/Cu composites demonstrated that 0.3 vol.% C-PNTs/Cu composites achieved a concurrent enhancement in mechanical-electrical properties (tensile strength: 436 MPa, electrical conductivity: 90.0% IACS). Furthermore, C-PNTs/Cu composites exhibited higher corrosion potential (-0.431 V) and reduced corrosion current density (6.3 μA/cm2), signifying their superior corrosion resistance in comparison to pure copper. The insights garnered from this investigation offer valuable direction for the advancement of novel C-PNTs/Cu composites materials.
本研究采用一种新型碳基纳米材料,即碳化聚吡咯纳米管(C-PNTs),通过粉末冶金工艺制造铜复合材料。C-PNTs 具有优异的自分散特性和固有的界面结合力,这归功于其棱柱表面独特的波纹构造和丰富的氮掺杂。与市售碳纳米管/铜复合材料的综合比较表明,0.3 vol.% 的 C-PNTs/Cu 复合材料同时提高了机械电气性能(抗拉强度:436 兆帕,电导率:90.0% IACS)。此外,C-PNTs/Cu 复合材料表现出更高的腐蚀电位(-0.431 V)和更低的腐蚀电流密度(6.3 μA/cm2),这表明与纯铜相比,它们具有更优越的耐腐蚀性。这项研究获得的启示为新型 C-PNTs/Cu 复合材料的发展提供了宝贵的方向。

基于剪切增稠凝胶的透气抗冲击三维编织复合材料,采用高效编织策略制成,用于可穿戴防护装备
External low-velocity impacts (LVI) inevitably endanger human body health, yet attaining wear comfort and impact resistance simultaneously in protective equipment is challenging. Herein, flock-reinforced shear thickening gel (FRSTG) was demonstrated to display exceptional shear thickening behavior above the critical shear frequency (80.5 Hz). Three-dimensional (3D) shaped woven fabrics with folded structures were efficiently realized on a modified loom assembled with double warp beams and asynchronous self-reversal let-off systems, then 3D FRSTG/woven fabric composites were manufactured through a facile inclusion procedure. The “sizing effect” of FRSTG on the yarns resulted in enhanced mechanical properties of the composites. Attributed to the folded structures, the composites exhibited desired flexibility and innovatively achieved breathability (79.473 mm/s). They also performed responsive LVI resistance owing to the shear thickening effect of FRSTG and structural advantages of 3D shaped woven fabric. Furthermore, wearable protective applications based on those composites were evidenced to integrate breathability and LVI resistance.
外部低速撞击(LVI)不可避免地会危及人体健康,然而在防护装备中同时实现穿着舒适性和抗冲击性却极具挑战性。在本文中,研究人员证明了植绒增强剪切增厚凝胶(FRSTG)在临界剪切频率(80.5 Hz)以上具有优异的剪切增厚性能。在装配了双经轴和异步自反转放电系统的改装织机上,有效地实现了具有折叠结构的三维(3D)异形编织物,然后通过简便的加入程序制造出三维 FRSTG/ 编织物复合材料。FRSTG 对纱线的 "上浆效应 "增强了复合材料的机械性能。由于采用了折叠结构,复合材料表现出了理想的柔韧性,并创新性地实现了透气性(79.473 毫米/秒)。由于 FRSTG 的剪切增厚效应和三维异形编织物的结构优势,复合材料还具有良好的抗 LVI 性能。此外,基于这些复合材料的可穿戴防护应用也证明了透气性和抗 LVI 性能的完美结合。

实现超宽带微波吸收特性和盐水浸泡后高保持力的多层泡沫的三维宏观结构优化设计
A novel flexible microwave absorbing material (C–MCM–FAS) with a cone-shaped sandwich structure is proposed, which is constructed by carbonyl iron-carbon nanotubes/PDMS foams and SiC–morchella biochar/PDMS film. To enhance broadband absorption properties, a three-level scale design has been creatively introduced into C–MCM–FAS, encompassing millimeter, micron and nano scales. The rational structural parameters of C–MCM–FAS are determined by CST simulation, leading to the preparation of C–MCM–FAS with an impressive minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of −43.26 dB and an effective absorption band (EB) covering the entire C2, X, and Ku bands at 11.79 GHz. Encouragingly, the measured results are basically consistent with the simulation results (an RLmin of −35.78 dB and an EB of 14.68 GHz), which verifies the accuracy of the theoretical simulation and the feasibility of the method. It holds great significance that the investigation of the adsorption retention rate of C–MCM–FAS after immersing it in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution for 21 days. The measured RLmin reaches −48.41 dB with a retention rate of 111.9 %, and the EB reaches 8.56 GHz with a retention rate of 72.6 %. This work presents a groundbreaking concept for designing structural absorbers, expecting the C–MCM–FAS to become a strong contender for application in special environments like microwave detection in the nautical field.

基于薄丝束的非连续复合材料的强度分析和失效预测
Tow Based Discontinuous Composites (TBDCs) are a new class of composite materials which combine in-plane isotropy, high strength and stiffness and enhanced manufacturability. However, due to their complicated micro-architecture, characterising the performance of these materials and predicting their response is challenging. This work develops a complete experimental and analytical framework which identifies all the key properties in the performance of the TBDCs, characterises them experimentally and builds an analytical predictive tool for both the stiffness response and the strength of the TBDC material. Fractography is also utilised to identify the damage mechanisms and correlate them with the analytical predictions. A parametric study is developed which shows the critical effect that the tape thickness and mode II fracture toughness have on the TBDCs. Finally, the performance of the material is compared to similarly developed TBDCs from the literature and shows the significant strength and stiffness increases recorded through the combination of the thin high-modulus tapes and the increased fibre volume fractions.
缆基非连续复合材料(TBDC)是一类新型复合材料,它集平面各向同性、高强度和刚度以及更强的可制造性于一身。然而,由于其复杂的微结构,表征这些材料的性能并预测其响应具有挑战性。这项研究开发了一个完整的实验和分析框架,确定了 TBDC 性能的所有关键特性,通过实验对其进行了表征,并为 TBDC 材料的刚度响应和强度建立了一个分析预测工具。此外,还利用断裂学来识别损坏机制,并将其与分析预测结果联系起来。参数研究显示了胶带厚度和模式 II 断裂韧性对 TBDC 的关键影响。最后,将材料的性能与文献中类似开发的 TBDC 进行了比较,结果表明,通过结合使用薄型高模量胶带和增加纤维体积分数,材料的强度和刚度显著提高。

在 scCO2 发泡过程中利用超声波和 H2O 的协同作用形成具有形状恢复特性的超隔热 PS/PMMA/CNTs 复合泡沫
For polymer foams, a high expansion rate is often required to obtain a low thermal conductivity. However, polymer foams with high expansion ratio faces a difficulty of shape recovery. In this work, polystyrene (PS)/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite foams were prepared by the synergy of ultrasound and H2O in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) foaming. The introduction of ultrasound and H2O is beneficial to improving expansion ratio. CNTs can enhance the melt strength of PS/PMMA, which also absorb part of the thermal radiation. Therefore, the PS/PMMA/CNTs foams with 0.5 wt.% CNTs exhibits the high expansion ratio (80.7 times), low thermal conductivity (25.98 mW/mK) and 100% compression recovery in water at 85 °C after one compression. In addition, with the increasing of filler contents, the reusability of the foam is further improved. After ten compressions, the PS/PMMA/CNTs foams with 2 wt.% CNTs still achieve the 99% recovery. This work provides a new way to prepare polymer foams with super-insulation and reusability.
聚合物泡沫通常需要高膨胀率来获得低导热率。然而,高膨胀率的聚合物泡沫面临着形状恢复的困难。在这项研究中,通过超临界二氧化碳(scCO2)发泡中超声波和 H2O 的协同作用,制备了聚苯乙烯(PS)/甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)/碳纳米管(CNTs)复合泡沫。超声波和 H2O 的引入有利于提高膨胀率。CNT 可以提高 PS/PMMA 的熔体强度,同时还能吸收部分热辐射。因此,含有 0.5 wt.% CNTs 的 PS/PMMA/CNTs 泡沫具有高膨胀率(80.7 倍)、低导热率(25.98 mW/mK)和在 85 °C 的水中一次压缩后 100% 的压缩恢复率。此外,随着填料含量的增加,泡沫的可重复使用性也进一步提高。经过十次压缩后,含有 2 wt.% CNTs 的 PS/PMMA/CNTs 泡沫仍能达到 99% 的回收率。这项工作为制备具有超绝缘性和可重复使用性的聚合物泡沫提供了一种新方法。
