Influence of sintering temperature on the crystallization and mechanical properties of BN-MAS composites

A type of boron nitride–magnesium aluminum silicate (BN-MAS) composite ceramics was fabricated by hot-press sintering at different sintering temperatures. The relationship between the sintering temperature and microstructure was investigated by analyzing the interaction between hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and the MAS phase. The main MAS phase in the composite ceramics is the α-cordierite phase at a sintering temperature of 1300°C. At temperatures above 1400°C, the inhibitory effect of h-BN on the crystallization of the MAS system is significant, and MAS mainly exists in the form of an amorphous phase. The composite sintered at 1700°C exhibited the highest bending strength of 218MPa. h-BN and MAS were co-enhanced. MAS can be used as an effective liquid-phase sintering aid to assist in the sintering of h-BN, whereas h-BN can absorb the fracture energy of the composite ceramics through the pull-out and bridging effect of the particles.     

Multiscale SiCnw and carbon fiber reinforced SiOC ceramic with enhanced mechanical and microwave absorption properties

The hierarchical SiOC/SiCnws/CF composites (A/B/C structure) were designed via precursor infiltration and pyrolysis process. The SiOC ceramics served as the wave-transparent characteristic materials to adjust the impedance matching. Herein, the in situ growth of SiCnws not only was used for the absorber but served as the reinforcement of SiOC matrix composites. In detail, the SiOC/SiCnws/CF-1200°C-2 exhibits excellent electromagnetic absorption performance with minimum reflection loss of −46 dB at 14.4 GHz with the thickness of 1.6 mm, and its effective absorption band reaches 4.3 GHz. Its compressive strength reaches 8.69 and 16.41 MPa in z and x/y directions, separately. This contribution has a guidance for the application of carbon fiber/ceramics matrix composites in harsh environment.     

The Small Open Reading Frame-Encoded Peptides: Advances in Methodologies and Functional Studies

Small open reading frames (sORFs) are an important class of genes with less than 100 codons. They were historically annotated as noncoding or even junk sequences. In recent years, accumulating evidence suggests that sORFs could encode a considerable number of polypeptides, many of which play important roles in both physiology and disease pathology. However, it has been technically challenging to directly detect sORF-encoded peptides (SEPs). Here, we discuss the latest advances in methodologies for identifying SEPs with mass spectrometry, as well as the progress on functional studies of SEPs.

Enhanced Multiferroic and Magnetocapacitive Properties of (1 − x)Ba0.7Ca0.3TiO3–xBiFeO3 Ceramics

The structures, Curie temperature, dielectric relaxor behaviors, ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, and magnetocapacitance of the (1?x)Ba_0.70Ca_0.30TiO₃–xBiFeO₃ [(1?x)BCT–xBF, x = 0–0.90] solid solutions have been systematically investigated. The ceramics have coexisted tetragonal (T) and orthorhombic (O) phases when x ≤ 0.06, coexisted pseudocubic (PC) and O phases when x = 0.065, coexisted cubic and O phases when 0.07 ≤ x ≤ 0.12, PC phase when 0.21 ≤ x ≤ 0.42, coexisted T and rhombohedral (R) phases when 0.52 ≤ x ≤ 0.70, and R phase when x ≥ 0.75. Significantly, composition‐dependent microstructures and Curie temperature are observed, the average grain size increases from 1.9 μm for x = 0, reaches 12.0 μm for x = 0.67, and then decreases to 1.3 μm for x = 0.90. At room temperature, the ceramics with x = 0.42–0.70 show piezoelectric properties and multiferroic behaviors, characterized by the polarization‐electric field, polarization current intensity–electric field, and magnetization–magnetic field curves, the composition with x = 0.67 has maximum polarization, remnant polarization, maximum magnetization, and remnant magnetization of 15.0 μC/cm², 9.1 μC/cm², 0.33 emu/g, and 0.14 emu/g, respectively. In addition, the magnetocapacitance is evidenced by the increased relative dielectric constant with increasing the applied magnetic field (H). With ΔH = 8 kOe, the composition with x = 0.67 shows the largest values of (ε_r(H) ? ε_r(0))/ε_r(0) = 2.96% at room temperature. The structure–property relationship is discussed intensively.
