Investigation of functional core-rim composite part production by inserted powder injection moulding

In this study, the use of Cu and Ni interlayers have been investigated for functional core-rim composite part production with WC-Co 9?wt-% feedstock/steel. For this purpose, different experiments have been performed and joining condition, shear strength and microstructure of the intermediate region have been examined. It has been found that AISI 4340 insert/WC-Co have been joined and 85.8?MPa shear strength achieved, but high speed steel insert has not joined. Moreover, it has been determined that better results are obtained with Ni interlayer. Under the same conditions, when the 40?µm Ni interlayer has been used between AISI 4340 core and WC-Co rim, shear strength has been increased approximately twice and has been 162.7?MPa.     

中间相炭微球在锂离子电池负极材料的应用进展

中间相炭微球(MCMB)具有良好锂离子扩散性、导电性和机械稳定性等优势,是目前应用广泛、综合性能优异的锂离子电池负极材料,但较低理论比容量是制约其发展的关键因素。为了获得性能优良的MCMB基锂离子电池负极材料,改性修饰和复合材料已然成为目前研发重点。笔者论述了碳结构、表界面和复合材料等微观结构设计对MCMB负极材料电化学性能的影响。从碳堆积结构类型、有序性、层间距以及球体粒径大小等方面,论述了碳结构微观设计对MCMB电化学性能的影响。发现具有乱层结构的MCMB在充放电过程中内部产生应力较小,且碳结构较稳定,具有优异循环稳定性;内部具有大量微孔或碳层间距较大的MCMB,在充放电过程中可提高锂离子在电极中的迁移速率,并提供更多的储锂空间,一般具有优良的充放电比容量和倍率性能;小粒径MCMB具有较短的锂离子迁移路径和随之增加的比表面积,通常具有较好倍率性能,伴随着可逆比容量和充放电效率的衰减。从表界面碳层改性、包覆和掺杂改性等方面,论述了表界面改性对MCMB电化学性能的影响。表面碳层修饰可增加MCMB与电解液的相容性及其比表面积,提高了与电解液的接触面积及贮锂容量,改善了锂离子电池负极材料的电化学性能;另外,MCMB表面包覆一层无定型碳,可避免其表面与电解液直接接触,减少电化学副反应的产生,提升其可逆比容量。从碳活性物质复合材料、非碳活性物质复合材料等方面,论述了复合材料微观结构设计对MCMB电化学性能的影响。碳活性物质可降低MCMB内部碳层结构的有序性,减少锂离子嵌入过程中的内部应力,提升MCMB循环稳定性。非碳活性物质诱导MCMB生成更加有序的碳层结构,提高MCMB的比表面积,从而改善MCMB表面与电解液分子的接触能力及其嵌锂性能,有利于提升MCMB负极材料可逆比容量、循环性能和倍率性能。MCMB具有高碳层间距和多缺陷位点等结构特征,有利于钠离子自由脱嵌,应用于钠离子电池时具有良好的可逆比容量、循环稳定性和倍率性能。MCMB的不规则定向层状结构经活化等处理具有较高比表面积,可应用于超级电容器电极材料。最后提出在高性能锂离子电池电极材料快速发展的需求下,从微观结构角度设计MCMB纳米复合材料将是MCMB负极材料的研究重点。

聚乙烯醇/改性纳米蒙脱土复合材料的制备与性能

纳米蒙脱土(MMT)用十六烷基三甲基溴化铵进行改性制得有机改性的MMT(OMMT),用其作为聚乙烯醇(PVAL)的改性材料,采用溶液共混、流涎成膜制得PLA/OMMT复合材料,考察了OMMT的用量对PVAL复合材料性能的影响。用傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)仪、差示扫描量热仪、扫描电子显微镜、X射线衍射仪、万能力学试验机等对复合材料性能及结构进行表征和分析。结果表明,FTIR显示十六烷基三甲基溴化铵成功进入MMT结构中,OMMT成功制得;随着OMMT添加量的增加,复合材料热稳定性提高,断裂伸长率降低,拉伸强度呈现先增加后降低趋势,当其含量为9%时达到最大;SEM显示OMMT含量9%时,OMMT与PVAL相容性最好,表面光滑,含量再增加,出现团聚现象,力学性能受到影响。

Review on nano-and microfiller-based polyamide 6 hybrid composite: Effect on mechanical properties and morphology

Polyamide 6 (PA6)-based composites are of evolving interest due to its high strength, wear resistance, and barrier properties. The use of binary composites mostly with nanomaterial and glass fibers has been reviewed and presented in literature. However to obtain a balance of properties like stiffness, toughness, and strength along with cost reduction, ternary composites of PA6 have been designed. To achieve the balance, PA6 blend-based composites, with combination of microfiller/nanofiller or PA6 with combination micro-microfiller, PA6 with microfiller/nanofiller and fiber have been designed. The properties of PA6-based ternary hybrid composites depend on type of dispersed phase used, presence of compatibilizer, type of filler used (nanofiller or microfiller or fiber or hybrid) and combination of fillers used. However, a review in this direction is not available in literature. Here, in this study, an overall understanding of various fillers, dispersed phase, and their combinations can be understood along with the discussion on effect of these on tensile properties and morphology of hybrid composite. In this study, an attempt has been made to review the various fillers and dispersed phase and their combinations which have been used in designing the PA6 hybrid composite with good balance of stiffness, toughness, and strength.     

Magnetoelectric,magnetodielectric effect and dielectric,magnetic properties of microwave-sintered lead-free x(Co0.9Ni0.1Fe2O4)-(1-x)[0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3TiO3)-0.5(BaZr0.2Ti0.8O3)] particulate multiferroic composite

Materials with two distinct (magnetostrictive-ferroelectric) phases, i.e., x (Co_0·9Ni_0·1Fe₂O₄) -(1-x) [0.5 (Ba_0·7Ca_0·3TiO₃) −0.5 (BaZr_0·2Ti_0·8O₃)], combined at ratios of 10:90, 20:80, 30:70, and 40:60 were prepared using a hydroxide coprecipitation method. These multiferroic composites were subjected to sintering via the hybrid microwave sintering technique at 1200 °C for 20 min. Ni-substituted CFO exhibited excellent magnetic properties at room temperature, with Ms ≈ 80 emu/g, μB ≈ 3.37, Mr ≈ 19.05 emu/g, and Hc ≈ 599 Oe, as well as a high value of the magnetostriction coefficient (λ12 ≈ −118 ppm). The magnetostrictive-ferroelectric crystal phases in each composite were confirmed via X-ray diffraction analysis. The highest value of the linear magneto-electric coefficient was α = 21.6 mV/cm-Oe at a frequency of 1 kHz for the 40CNFO-60(BCT-BZT) composite, and a similar sample had the highest value of the magnetodielectric coefficient, which was approximately 3.3% at f = 1 kHz with an applied magnetic field of 1 T. The typical ferromagnetic and ferroelectric nature of each composite was confirmed by M − H and P–E hysteresis loops, respectively at room temperature. Two anomalies were observed in the temperature-dependent dielectric permittivity one at ~140 °C and another above 500 °C confirming the coexistence of two materials with distinct transition points, i.e., BCT-BZT and CNFO, respectively.     

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/mesoporous silica thermosensitive composite hydrogels for drug loading and release

Temperature-sensitive hydrogels are attracting increasing attention for controlled drug delivery. However, achieving high drug loadings and sustained drug release remains challenging. Herein, we describe the successful synthesis of a series of novel temperature-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA)/mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) hydrogels by physical crosslinking of NIPA with MSN. The external and internal structures, temperature sensitivity, drug-loading capacity, and blood compatibility of the PNIPA/MSN composite hydrogels are studied. Results show that MSN addition improved the network structure and adjusted the size of the hole, MSN could also act as drug carrier, thereby enhancing the drug loading capacity. The composite hydrogels underwent a phase transition at 33.7 °C (at the lower critical solution temperature). The hemolysis rate of the composite hydrogels was less than 1%, thus they can be classified as a nonhemolytic materials with good biocompatibility. The composite hydrogels reported here thus have great potential in drug transport and temperature-activated drug release. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 137, 48391.
