We report on the magnetic exchange coupling behavior in hard-soft Mn52Al45.7C2.3-α-Fe nanocomposite magnets synthesized by high-energy ball milling at room temperature followed by post-annealing treatment at temperatures 300 to 600 °C. The analysis of hysteresis loops showed effective exchange coupling Mn52Al45.7C2.3-α-Fe nanocomposite particles with smooth demagnetizing curves when annealed at 400 °C. But higher annealing temperatures pose kink in the hysteresis loop highlighting a weak exchange coupling with more magnetostatic interaction between hard and soft components. This trend was confirmed by the results on (BH)max, which had the highest value for nanocomposite particles annealed at 400 °C. More detailed information on magnetic exchange coupling in nanocomposite particles was obtained by derivative magnetic curves and Henkel plots. Hard-soft Mn52Al45.7C2.3-α-Fe magnets showed the sharpest high-field maximum in derivate magnetic curves when annealed at 400 °C as a signature of effective exchange coupling between Mn52Al45.7C2.3 and α-Fe grains. In addition, Henkel plots display the dominance of positive peak for nanocomposite particles annealed at 300 and 400 °C, indicative of magnetic exchange-coupling. But the negative-peak dominated curves of those annealed at higher temperatures as well as single-phase Mn52Al45.7C2.3 imply a significant magnetostatic interaction in the components owing to non-magnetic phases formed at elevated temperatures. Also, quantitative information obtained from recoil curve measurements assigned a higher degree of exchange coupling to nanocomposite magnets when annealed at 400 °C.

Recently, electrospinning technique was applied successfully to fabricate porous hydrophobic membranes for MD applications. In this work, a novel triple layer configuration with diameter gradient for PVDF nanofiber membranes is proposed, with the objective of to minimize mass transfer resistance and heat loss. In outer layers of these membranes, the minimum concentration of PVDF (20 wt%) was used to produce bead-free nanofibers with thinner diameters and middle layers were composed of thicker nanofibers formed at higher polymer concentrations (21.5-26 wt%). Characterization of prepared membranes was conducted by the measurement of porosity, thickness, liquid entry pressure (LEP), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle, thermal and mechanical properties. Direct contact membrane distillation performance of fabricated membranes was tested using 42 g/L NaCl as feed solution. Water permeate flux of triple layer membranes (27.8-31.5 kg/m2 h) was found to be considerably higher than that obtained from single layer membrane (15.4 kg/m2 h), indicating the proposed configuration can effectively improve evaporation efficiency. 相似文献
We propose a multiscale approach to study the influence of carbon nanotubes’ agglomeration on the stability of hybrid nanocomposite plates. The hybrid nanocomposite consists of both macro- and nano-scale reinforcing fibers dispersed in a polymer matrix. The equivalent material properties are calculated by coupling the Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka model with the rule of mixture accounting for effects of CNTs inside the generated clusters. Furthermore, an energy based approach is implemented to obtain the governing equations of the problem utilizing a refined higher-order plate theorem. Subsequently, the derived equations are solved by Galerkin’s analytical method to predict the critical buckling load. The influence of various boundary conditions is studied as well. After validation, a set of numerical examples are presented to explain how each variant can affect the plate’s natural frequency. 相似文献
