Preparation of high strength foam ceramics from sand shale and steel slag

Foam ceramics with high strength were successfully fabricated by using sand shale and steel slag as the major materials and SiC as foam agent. The influence of raw materials ratio and heat treatment temperatures on crystalline phases, porosity, mechanical properties and pore structures was investigated via XRF, XRD, SEM, DTA-TG, Micro-CT. The results indicate that the raw materials composed of 94 wt% sand shale and 6 wt% steel slag enable the fabrication of foam ceramics possessing strength of 29.98 MPa, bulk density of 0.821 g/cm³, total porosity of 67.22%, closed porosity of 55.27% and thermal conductivity of 0.08 W/(m·K). Micro-CT result shows that the pores with an average size of 267.05 μm are isolated. Pore wall thickness conforms to normal distribution, and it ranges from 18 to 42 μm. The superior property makes it promising high-strength and lightweight material in application fields, including thermal insulation materials and lightweight building materials.

Polyimide foams from powder: Experimental analysis of competitive diffusion phenomena

In the present study, various diffusive processes have been investigated during foaming of powdered precursors of polyimide. A detailed analysis of the powdered precursor's characteristics allows for an enhanced morphological understanding of the resulting microstructures and foam unit cell. Parameters that are central to the foaming process such as particle morphology, volatile concentration and sorption-desorption processes are evaluated. Isothermal and non-isothermal desorption experiments have been carried out by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and specific diffusive processes have been correlated to thermodynamic and kinetic transitions by means of modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) of the corresponding materials. It was found that two primary fluxes of volatiles, one out of the external surface of the particles (responsible for volatile desorption) and the other into the growing bubble (responsible for vapor supersaturation inside the bubble) compete against each other creating a competitive scenario that becomes the controlling factor for potential inflation within the precursor particles.

Prediction of foam growth and its nucleation in free and limited expansion

The influence volume approach (IVA) is often utilized for modeling the mass transfer process dictating bubble growth dynamics in physical foaming. However, the assumed concentration profile in the IVA method is only valid when the changes in dissolved gas concentration are small (less than 5%). In addition, the validity of the IVA method is difficult to justify in chemical foaming applications because of the difficulties involved in defining the dissolved gas concentration profile.In the present work, we define two distinct stages of bubble growth for physical foaming. These two stages are termed as free and limited expansion and are controlled by the bubble nucleation rate. Bubble nucleation is assumed to occur only in the free expansion stage. In this stage, the bubble pressure drops substantially from an initially high pressure in the supersaturated state while the dissolved gas concentration changes very little. The second stage of our two-stage mass transfer model is termed the limited expansion stage and accounts for bubble growth in the late stages of foam evolution, when the pressure changes become small. However, in the limited stage of bubble growth the dissolved gas concentration drops significantly, as the available dissolved gas is depleted. To summarize our two-stage mass transfer model of foam expansion, the pressure difference between the bubble phase and the liquid phase is the primary mechanism for driving mass transfer in the early (free) stages of foam growth and the concentration difference is the driver for bubble growth in the late (limited) stages of growth. The first stage can be regarded as the nucleation stage and it is relatively short; while the second stage can be regarded as the bubble growth stage and is much longer. Most of the bubble volume expansion takes place in the second stage.The concentration gradient at the bubble edge, which is often ignored in other models, is analyzed in detail in this paper. The details of our novel mass transfer model are also presented.     

Degassing of molten polymers

Degassing is a key-step in polymer processing. Low-molecular-weight components are removed from a polymeric system. The transport of these components takes place by diffusion to the polymer-vapour interface. This interface can be formed by free surfaces of single-phase polymer melts or by bubbles. In this study, the transport with and without bubble nucleation is investigated independently from each other in a special designed apparatus similar to a degassing extruder.The mass transport in thin films and in rotating pools with surface renewal is measured. High surface renewal rates and thick films enhance the mass transfer for single phase flow and bubbly flow. Dimensionless mass transfer coefficients are given as a function of the surface renewal rate, the area of the free surface and the total mass of the polymer. The conditions for bubble nucleation and foam formation are investigated. The bubble nucleation is observed in the rotating pool in the area of high shear velocity.

基于WLF方程的硬质聚氨酯泡沫塑料贮存寿命评估

对硬质聚氨酯泡沫塑料进行了105℃条件下的高温老化试验，试验前后检测了其压缩性能的变化情况。结果表明，硬质聚氨酯泡沫塑料老化后其压缩性能没有明显变化，因而不能应用Arrhenius方程来推导其贮存寿命。为此从时温等效原理出发，通过对硬质聚氨酯泡沫塑料压缩蠕变曲线的平移推算出了其WLF方程，利用此方程，可以很容易地推导出硬质聚氨酯泡沫塑料高温老化的低温等效贮存时间；该种硬质聚氨酯泡沫塑料在20℃、25℃及30℃条件下的存贮寿命应至少分别在50．3a、45．3a及40．5a以上。
