The influence of fibre pretreatmert on the mechanical properties of epoxy-asbestos composites

This study is devoted to the mechanical properties of asbestos-epoxy composites. Chrysotile fibres were first pretreated by means of an interfacial polymerization technique effecting eventually a poly (hexamethylene adipamide) coating on the asbestos surface. The interface characteristics were significantly altered and due to the well-known compatibility between epoxy and polyamide phase considerable deviation from the behaviour encountered when using untreated fibres was confirmed. Accordingly, while varying pretreated fibre content and also concentration of the polyamide coating, the tensile properties of the resulted composites were examined.     

The superlattice structure and self-adaptive performance of C–Ti/MoS2 composite coatings

To improve the self-adaptability of MoS₂ coating in different environments, the coatings were doped with functional C and Ti by unbalanced magnetron sputtering system. The clear superlattice structure with minimal modulation period was investigated by High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM). The co-doped coatings have better mechanical properties due to the special structure and the formation of C–Mo, Ti–S and Ti–O bonds, and better lubrication performance in both high humidity and vacuum than those of the single-doped ones. The doped Ti not only facilitates the formation of the MoS₂ (002) basal plane, but also improves the oxidation resistance of the composite film. The degree of friction-induced graphitization on the wear tracks and the quality of transfer films on the wear scars are key factors affecting the lubrication performance of the composite film. In the high-humidity environment, the reasonable doping elements can promote the formation the high-quality transfer film by interacting with H₂O water molecules, which will benefit the lubrication of the coating better. Our findings deepen the understanding of MoS₂ composite coating and provide a new solution for improving the self-adaptability of the coating.     

Effects of aluminium content on the molecular structure and properties of polyaluminocarbosilane for SiC fibre fabrication

Polyaluminocarbosilane (PACS) is an important precursor for silicon carbide (SiC) fibres and ceramics. Much work has focused on the sintering effect of elemental Al, and it was found to increase density and inhibit grain growth during the pyrolysis of the SiC_xO_y phase at high temperatures. In addition to the sintering effect, Al may also affect the detailed molecular structure and the related properties of the precursor. In this work, PACS with different Al contents are prepared by a high-pressure method. The structural forms of the component elements are quantitatively determined by ¹H NMR, ²⁹Si NMR, DEPT, ²⁷Al MAS NMR and elemental analysis, and a method of determining the relative branching degree of PACS is proposed. It is found that increasing the Al content in the precursor leads to an increase in the weight percentage of the SiC₃O, CH₂ and CH groups, while the content of the SiC₄ groups remains almost unchanged, which consequently causes a rise in the relative branching degree of the molecular structure. The rheological properties of the precursors are investigated on a monofilament spinning device. It is found that the apparent viscosity rises, and the spinnability of the precursor weakens, with increasing Al content, while the non-Newtonian index becomes larger, indicating a decrease in the pseudo-plasticity of the precursor. In addition, the ceramic yield becomes higher, which is definitely correlated to the more branched and ring molecular structures.     

Effect of Yb3+ concentration on the green-yellow upconversion emission of SrGe4O9:Er3+ phosphors

This work presents the structural, morphological and luminescent, properties of SrGe₄O₉ (SGO):Er³⁺,Yb³⁺ phosphors. These phosphors were synthesized by simple combustion synthesis and subsequently annealed at 1100 °C. The XRD patterns revealed that all the SGO samples doped with Yb³⁺ concentrations from 2 to 10 at.% presented a trigonal pure phase (the Er³⁺ concentration was fixed to 1 at.%). The morphology of the SGO samples was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and found that they are formed by microparticles with irregular shapes and average sizes in the range of 0.2 μm–3 μm. The luminescence measurements of the SGO:Er³⁺,Yb³⁺ samples showed the presence of two main emission bands at 551 nm (green) and at 662 nm (red) under excitation at 980 nm, which are associated to Er³⁺ transitions. For Yb concentration of 2 and 3 at.% the green band dominated, but the red band became more intense for Yb concentrations above 5 at.%. As result, the CIE coordinate changed from the green to the yellow region. The increase for the Yb content from 2 to 10 at.% also enhanced of the NIR emission of Er³⁺ ≈5 times and the maximum upconversion emission was observed for 8% of Yb concentration. Further, the surface of the SGO samples was analyzed by the FTIR technique in order to find OH groups which are common luminescent quenching centers, but these groups were not detected on the samples. Since the SGO samples presented tunable emission, absence of OH groups on their surface and stable crystalline structure for high Yb dopant concentrations, they could be good candidates as phosphors for solid state lighting or displays applications.

Synthesis of High‐Purity Ti3SiC2 by Microwave Sintering

High‐purity ternary laminated compound Ti₃SiC₂ was successfully synthesized by a microwave heating method in the flowing argon for the first time. The mixtures of titanium, silicon, and graphitic carbon (C_gc) or activated carbon (C_ac) with different molar ratios were used to investigate the reaction mechanisms. It was confirmed that Ti₃SiC₂ with high purity of 98 vol.% was achieved without the aids of Al. The optimum experimental parameters were determined as Ti/Si/C_gc having the molar ratio of 3/2.2/2, first holding at 1480°C for 30 min, and subsequent dwelling at 1300°C for 60 min.     

A self-adaption normal direction and active variable stiffness low-frequency vibration-assisted system for curved surface drilling

The drilling operation occupies an important position in the aircraft assembly workload, and it accounts for a large proportion of the assembly cost. Previous reports show that drilling quality affects aircraft safety factor such as the probability of fatigue failure accidents. This paper proposes an automatic machining system for curved surface drilling. In this scheme, the self-adaption normal direction is realized by using the secondary positioning strategy (primary positioning and precise positioning). An elastic structure and the key positions smooth processing are applied to enhance the positioning guidance. The active variable stiffness mechanism satisfies the different requirements for system stiffness during the positioning stage and the drilling stage. Expansion sleeve locking and state switching of drilling assistance pneumatic cylinder lead to changes in the actuator's DOF and external forces, thereby achieving active control of the stiffness. Vibration-assisted machining technology is introduced to improve drilling quality. Compared with conventional drilling, the results show that this drilling system produces thin and slender chips, smaller burrs, and better internal surface quality.
