The mechanical,thermophysical and electromagnetic properties of UD SiCf/SiC composites in different directions

Unidirectional (UD) silicon carbide (SiC) fiber-reinforced SiC matrix (UD SiC_f/SiC) composites with CVI BN interphase were fabricated by polymer infiltration-pyrolysis (PIP) process. The effects of the anisotropic distribution of SiC fibers on the mechanical properties, thermophysical properties and electromagnetic properties of UD SiC_f/SiC composites in different directions were studied. In the direction parallel to the axial direction of SiC fibers, SiC fibers bear the load and BN interphase ensures the interface debonding, so the flexural strength and the fracture toughness of the UD SiC_f/SiC composites are 813.0 ± 32.4 MPa and 26.1 ± 2.9 MPa·m^1/2, respectively. In the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of SiC fibers, SiC fibers cannot bear the load and the low interfacial bonding strengths between SiC fiber/BN interphase (F/I) and BN interphase/SiC matrix (I/M) both decrease the matrix cracking stress, so the corresponding values are 36.6 ± 6.9 MPa and 0.9 ± 0.5 MPa?m^1/2, respectively. The thermal expansion behaviors of UD SiC_f/SiC composites are similar to those of SiC fibers in the direction parallel to the axial direction of SiC fibers, and are similiar to those of SiC matrix in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of SiC fibers. The total electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EM SE_T) of UD SiC_f/SiC composites attains 32 dB and 29 dB when the axial direction of SiC fibers is perpendicular and parallel to the electric field direction, respectively. The difference of conductivity in different directions is the main reason causing the different SE_T. And the dominant electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding mechanism is absorption for both studied directions.

Short fiber-reinforced oxide fiber composites

This paper presents a novel fiber spraying process for the manufacturing of short fiber bundle-reinforced Nextel™ 610/Al₂O₃-ZrO₂ oxide fiber composites (SF-OFC) and its characterization. First, the influence of varying fiber lengths (7, 14, and 28 mm, continuous fibers) and fiber orientations (unidirectional 0°, quasi-isotropic, ±45°) was investigated using hand-laid SF-OFC. Due to the weak matrix, the hand-laid material exhibited a strongly fiber-dominated material behavior, that is, variations in fiber length and orientation had a strong influence on the material properties. Second, the automated sprayed SF-OFC, however, exhibited a random orientation of the fiber bundles, which resulted in in-plane isotropic material properties. Average bending strengths of up to 177 MPa, strains of .39%, and a quasi-ductile fracture behavior were achieved. The strain was, therefore, in the range of fabric-reinforced OFC. While the bending strength of the SF-OFC was somewhat lower than that of fabric-reinforced OFC with the fiber orientation parallel to the loading direction, it was more than two times higher than the strength in 45° direction relative to the fabric reinforcement. Combined with good drapability and lower material costs compared to fabric-reinforced OFC, SF-OFC is, therefore, a promising material for industrial applications.     

Ni-Mn-Ga-Fe铁磁纤维的马氏体相变和超弹性

通过熔体抽拉法制备直径在40~50μm、长度5~10cm的多晶Ni-Mn-Ga-Fe纤维,并进行步进式有序化热处理。利用场发射扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜对其微结构进行了表征,利用差示扫描量热仪、磁学性质测量系统和动态机械拉伸仪测试了其相变行为和超弹性性能。结果表明,与制备态纤维相比,热处理后原子有序度显著提高,孪晶界更为平直、清晰,并获得了近完全超弹性,应变恢复率得到明显提高。第四元素Fe是调控马氏体相变温度的主要因素,磁场并未引起相变温度的移位,综合分析阐明了有序化热处理对微结构、超弹性的影响机制以及相变的影响因素。     

聚酰亚胺薄膜制备与浅陷阱能级分布研究

采用两步法制备了均苯型纯聚酰亚胺(polyimide,PI)薄膜,并对该薄膜、3M和杜邦公司生产的纯PI薄膜进行热激电流测试。结果表明:3M纯PI的γ峰对应峰温和陷阱能级相对较高,这可能是其较高的聚合度,导致分子链的运动困难造成的,自制纯PI过程中适当提高聚酰胺酸粘度,有利于提高聚合度进而改善其性能;3M和杜邦纯PI薄膜β峰对应峰温比自制PI的峰温高35 K,这也是3M和杜邦纯PI的聚合度高,导致侧基运动困难造成的。β峰与偶极取向松弛有关,非晶PI的β峰峰温大约为345 K,比玻璃化转变温度略小,此温度下大分子链迁移困难,只有如羰基等极性基团的迁移。另外,只有杜邦纯PI有αC峰,这与薄膜内的晶区或界面效应有关。

Catalytic combustion kinetics of isopropanol over novel porous microfibrous‐structured ZSM‐5 coating/PSSF catalyst

Porous thin‐sheet cobalt–copper–manganese mixed oxides modified microfibrous‐structured ZSM‐5 coating/PSSF catalysts were developed by the papermaking/sintering process, secondary growth process, and incipient wetness impregnating method. Paper‐like sintered stainless steel fibers (PSSF) support with sinter‐locked three‐dimensional networks was built by the papermaking/sintering process, and ZSM‐5 coatings were fabricated on the surface of stainless steel fibers by the secondary growth process. Catalytic combustion performances of isopropanol at different concentrations over the microfibrous‐structured Co–Cu–Mn (1:1:1)/ZSM‐5 coating/PSSF catalysts were measured to obtain kinetics data. The catalytic combustion kinetics was investigated using power–rate law model and Mars–Van Krevelen model. It was found that the Mars–Van Krevelen model provided fairly good fits to the kinetic data. The catalytic combustion reaction occurred by interaction between isopropanol molecule and oxygen‐rich centers of modified microfibrous‐structured ZSM‐5 coating/PSSF catalyst. The reaction activation energies for the reduction and oxidation steps are 60.3 and 57.19 kJ/mol, respectively. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 61: 620–630, 2015
