The influence of processing conditions on the mechanical properties of poly(aryl-ether-ketone)/polybenzimidazole blends

Interest in developing high-performance blends for niche applications has grown significantly in efforts to meet ever-increasing harsh environment demands. In this work, four model poly(aryl-ether-ketone)/polybenzimidazole (PAEK/PBI) blends were chosen to study the influence of premixing methods, processing, and matrix polymers, on their mechanical properties. Among the model poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) and PBI blends, mechanical properties are greatly enhanced by melt premixing. The molding process mainly affects the matrix crystallinity, which in turn greatly influences fracture toughness of the blend. Poly(ether ketone ketone) (PEKK) and PBI blend exhibits a slightly lower tensile strength and fracture toughness than PEEK/PBI due to the differences in inherent properties of PEEK and PEKK matrices and their interfacial interaction with PBI. The processing−structure–property relationship of PAEK/PBI blends is established to help guide optimal design of high-performance polymer blends for structural applications. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

双季戊四醇在3种混合溶剂中的固-液相平衡

采用动态平衡法，在293.15～332.80 K、常压下，测定了双季戊四醇(DPE)在水+(甲醇、乙醇、异丙醇)三种混合溶剂中的溶解度数据。结果表明：DPE在不同质量分数的水+(甲醇、乙醇、异丙醇)混合溶剂中的溶解度随体系温度升高而增大；同一温度下，其在所选取溶剂体系中的溶解度随着甲醇、乙醇或异丙醇质量分数的增大而先增大后减小。λh方程、两参数方程与Apelblat方程均能够对所测定的溶解度数据进行较好的关联；通过修正的van’t Hoff方程计算得到DPE在所选取溶剂体系中Δ_sol H ⁰、Δ_sol S ⁰和Δ_sol G ⁰均大于零，表明DPE在所选取溶剂体系中的溶解过程为吸热、熵增的非自发过程。     

Synthesis of dysprosium/Mn–Cu ferrite binary nanocomposite: Analysis of structural,morphological, dielectric,and optomagnetic properties

Manganese–copper ferrite (MCFO) and dysprosium (Dy)-doped manganese–copper ferrite nanocomposites (Mn_0.5Cu_0.5Dy_xFe_2−xO₄) (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15) were synthesized by sonochemical method. Crystal structure and the structural parameters of the MCFO were analyzed based on the doping concentration of Dy ion. It was observed that the average crystalline size of the synthesized nanocomposite decreases when the concentration of Dy increases. The existing spherical surface morphology of the MCFO and Dy-doped MCFO nanocomposites were obtained through scanning electron microscopy. In the UV spectrum, the pristine MCFO sample showed an absorbance peak at 743 nm whereas the absorbance values of Dy-doped ferrite nanocomposite considerably shifted (blue) toward a lower wavelength (231–222 nm). The dielectric parameters of all ferrite nanocomposites were studied in the frequency range of 100 Hz to 5 MHz. The dielectric spectrum revealed that dielectric constant and loss tangent decreased with increased doping concentration of Dy ion. The saturation magnetization also changed with Dy doping in MCFO. The impact of Dy on manganese–copper ferrite changed the optical, dielectric and magnetic properties of the prepared binary ferrite nanocomposite, which can be used for microwave-absorbing material applications.

Origin of superior dielectric and piezoelectric properties in 0.4Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3–0.6(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 at intermediate grain sizes

Grain size effect is one of the most important issues to develop next-generation multilayer microdevices. In this work, the tetragonal 0.4Ba(Zr_0.2Ti_0.8)O₃–0.6(Ba_0.7Ca_0.3)TiO₃ (BZT–60BCT) ceramics with a wide grain size from 2.1 to 24 μm were successfully prepared by using ultrafine nano powder and two-step sintering. The results demonstrate that critical/intermediate grain size of dielectric constant ε_r and piezoelectric constant d₃₃ appears at ∼12.9 μm. It was found that the presence of large lattice tetragonality, and enhanced domain wall motion induced by domain coexistence between submicron and nano size in sample with a grain size of ∼12.9 μm, resulting in the superior dielectric and piezoelectric properties. These findings and analyses of the origin of superior dielectric and piezoelectric properties at intermediate grain size have important practical implications in the design of high-performance piezoelectric ceramics.     

Evaluation of polyphosphoric acid on the performance of polymer modified asphalt binders

The aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of polyphosphoric acid (PPA) on the mechanical performance of styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) and styrene–butadiene–rubber (SBR) modified asphalt. Conventional properties, multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR), bending beam rheometer (BBR), and linear amplitude sweep (LAS) tests were conducted to evaluate the performance characteristics of asphalt at different PPA inclusions. Gel-permeation chromatography (GPC), saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes (SARA), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) were carried to reveal the molecular weight, component and infrared spectra of asphalt. Results showed that PPA hardened the asphalt, improved the rutting and fatigue performances of polymer modified asphalt (PMA) binder, but weakened the anti-cracking performances. Besides, storage stability had a significant improvement as the addition of PPA. The addition of PPA brought more macromolecules into asphalt and led to more high-average molecular weight compounds. Furthermore, PPA changed four component ratios of asphalt. Both PMA with or without PPA have similar absorption peaks. This may be due to absorption peak of PMA covered the changes in PPA modification process as the low content of PPA. 0.8% dosage of PPA may be considered optimum for composite modified binder combining the above experimental results for this binder source.     

Enhanced microwave absorption and electromagnetic shielding property of (1-x)K0.5Na0.5NbO3 ~ xAl2O3 nano-ceramics

(1-x) K_0.5Na_0.5NbO₃ ~ xAl₂O₃ (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) ceramics were prepared via a traditional solid-state reaction method. The phase structure, micro-morphology, dielectric properties and electromagnetic properties of ceramic samples were studied and analyzed. Results indicate that all the samples are similar to K_0.5Na_0.5NbO₃ (KNN) in perovskite structure. With the increase of Al₂O₃ content, the X-ray diffraction peaks move to a large angle region, suggesting the substitution of niobium ions by aluminium ions and the distortion of the KNN lattice with a new phase arising. With the increase of Al₂O₃ content the grain size reduces and the dielectric constant decrease, yielding to the decrease of the electromagnetic shielding performance of ceramic. When the x is 0.4, the minimum value of reflectivity of sample is −28 dB at the frequency of 11.6 GHz. It can be concluded that both the grain size and Al₂O₃ content can obviously affect the electromagnetic properties of ceramics, which can be easily turned through a multi-layer SiO₂ heterojunction structure.     

The relationship between enhanced dielectric property and structural distortion in Ca doped Ba2NaNb5O15 tungsten bronze ceramics

The relationship between enhanced dielectric property and structural distortion in tungsten bronze structure ceramics was discussed in this work. The ceramics with the composition of (Ba_1-xCa_x)₂NaNb₅O₁₅ (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) were fabricated via conventional solid-state method. All ceramics were pure without secondary phase and the distinct lattice distortion in structure was testified by Rietveld XRD refinement. Compared with the un-doped composition, the maximum polarization and energy storage density were strongly enhanced according to the ferroelectric property measurements, which were contributed to the distortion of NbO₆ octahedron induced by the variation of ionic radius. The actually pulsed charge-discharge property of x = 0.3 ceramic was tested, whist excellent power density (P_D = 35.106 MV/cm³) and discharge energy density (W_d = 0.29 J/cm³) were obtained at 100 °C under 120 kV/cm, revealing the potential for application of Ba₂NaNb₅O₁₅ system-based ceramics in harsh environment.
