Graphenated Ceramic Particles as Functional Fillers for Nonisocyanate Polyhydroxyurethane Composites

Graphenation of corundum and silicon carbide filler particles simultaneously improves mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of nonisocyanate polyhydroxyurethanes (NIPU) composites prepared by amine cure of polyfunctional cyclic carbonates. Typically, the ceramic fillers coated with either glucose, polydopamine, or graphite oxide (GO) are thermolyzed to produce an ultrathin graphene shell around the ceramic core, as verified by transmission electron microscopy. As compared to a blend of corundum particles with the thermally reduced graphite oxide (TRGO) nanofiller, graphenation of corundum with GO at a similar total carbon content significantly improves the Young’s modulus (7000 MPa, +184%) of trimethylolpropane glycidylether carbonate (TMPGC) cured with diethylenetriamine (DETA). Moreover, up to 30 wt% of the graphenated corundum filler is uniformly dispersed, whereas a few percent of neat TRGO account for intolerable high viscosity. Furthermore, NIPU composites containing graphenated ceramic fillers exhibit electrical conductivities of up 2.58 × 10^?5 S m^?1 well below the percolation threshold of neat TRGO in the same NIPU matrix. Hence, the graphenation of inorganic particles represents a facile and universal synthetic route toward tailoring functional fillers and combines the two worlds of functionalized graphene and inorganic fillers in an economic way by eliminating the tedious syntheses and handling typical for graphene nanofillers.     

煤与高岭石表面性质对凝聚过程的影响机制

煤泥水中含大量高岭石等黏土矿物，为其絮凝沉降带来较大的困难。为明确矿物性质对凝聚过程的影响机制，在应用扩展的DLVO理论计算煤和高岭石颗粒间作用力的基础上，采用聚焦光束反射测量仪监测了CaCl2用量为4.50 mmol/L时20 g/L的煤和高岭石的悬浮液在60, 100和150 r/min的搅拌转速下的凝聚过程。结果表明，颗粒间的静电作用力在颗粒表面间距2?200 nm范围内起主导作用，高岭石的电负性较大，在凝聚过程中更难发生靠近和碰撞；较高的转速可为颗粒提供较大的动量，有利于提高碰撞频率，缩短完成凝聚所需时间，实验条件下，煤和高岭石的凝聚时间分别由74和123 s缩短至47和89 s。疏水性作用力在颗粒表面间距小于2 nm的范围内起主导作用，决定了颗粒的黏附效率；煤因强疏水性，在碰撞后更易黏附，且能抵抗更高的流体剪切作用，可由19.32 μm凝聚形成100 μm的大凝聚体，而高岭石则因其亲水性难以得到较大粒度的凝聚体，均小于30 μm。     

非晶Fe粉掺杂Al-12Si合金的高温压缩变形行为

为提高Al-12Si合金的热变形抗力,并探索非晶Fe粉掺杂对Al-12Si合金热压缩行为的影响和掺杂非晶Fe粉热压缩中的晶化温度等,采用连续挤压技术制备了掺杂10wt%非晶Fe粉与不掺杂非晶Fe粉的Al-12Si合金试样,对试样进行了不同温度和应变速率下的热压缩试验,分析了试样在热压缩中的组织转变,以及采用双曲正弦关系构建了试样的热流变应力方程。结果表明:非晶Fe掺杂试样在450 ℃及以下的热压缩时,Fe维持非晶态,500 ℃时,则已发生晶化;掺杂10wt%非晶Fe粉使Al-12Si合金的热抗变形能力显著提高,其热压缩激活能Q=211.29 kJ/mol,比未掺杂非晶Fe粉的Al-12Si合金试样高40.78 kJ/mol,且热压缩过程中存在动态回复和动态再结晶;利用双曲正弦关系构建试样的热流变应力方程为ε·=4.42×10¹⁴[sinh(0.016 6σ)]^6.13exp(-211 290/RT),线性回归系数高达0.99,即可为非晶Fe粉掺杂试样的热加工提供一定的理论指导。     

高碳硅锰钢的动态力学性能

通过扫描电镜、霍普金森压杆和拉伸试验机等仪器研究了不同温度淬火高碳硅锰钢的组织、变形程度和动态力学性能。研究表明,随淬火温度提高,试验钢中残留碳化物数量减少,在880 ℃时,试验钢的残留碳化物全部溶解。动态力学试验后,880 ℃淬火试样因残留碳化物固溶,动态强度增幅较小,对应变速率不敏感,由均匀变形转为破碎。绝热剪切带内和远离绝热剪切带的区域均存在孔洞,远离剪切带区域的孔洞无序分布,且伴随有均匀分布的碳化物。靠近绝热剪切带区域的碳化物存在分布不均匀的情况,且绝热剪切带内部的孔洞沿着热量传播方向扩展,形成沿剪切带分布的裂纹。

C/C-SiC component for metallic phase change materials

Thanks to their high energy density and thermal conductivity, metallic Phase Change Materials (mPCM) have shown great potential to improve the performance of thermal energy storage systems. However, the commercial application of mPCM is still limited due to their corrosion behavior with conventional container materials. This work first addresses on a fundamental level, whether carbon-based composite-ceramics are suitable for corrosion critical components in a thermal storage system. The compatibility between the mPCM AlSi₁₂ and the Liquid Silicon Infiltration (LSI)-based carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide (C/C-SiC) composite is then investigated via contact angle measurements, microstructure analysis, and mechanical testing after exposure. The results reveal that the C/C-SiC composite maintains its mechanical properties and microstructure after exposure in the strongly corrosive mPCM. Based on these results, efforts were made to design and manufacture a container out of C/C-SiC for the housing of mPCM in vehicle application. The stability of the component filled with mPCM was proven nondestructively via computer tomography (CT). Successful thermal input- and output as well as thermal storage ability were demonstrated using a system calorimeter under conditions similar to the application. The investigated C/C-SiC composite has significant application potential as a structural material for thermal energy storage systems with mPCM.
