Effect of Bio-Based Cobalt Alginate on the Fire Safety and Mechanical Properties for Epoxy Resin

There is a growing demand to develop epoxy resins (EP) with smoke suppression as well as satisfactory flame retardancy. Herein, bio-based cobalt alginate is successfully fabricated and incorporated into EP to prepare EP/Cobalt Alginate composites with better fire safety performance. The addition of cobalt alginate reduces the thermal-decomposition rate, temperature at maximum weight-loss rate of EP, whereas obviously improves the thermal stabilities at a higher temperature range. Furthermore, the addition of cobalt alginate substantially reduces the fire hazard of EP, resulting in 56.2% reduction in peak heat release rate, as well as 17.8% and 56.3% reduction in total smoke production and peak smoke production rate, respectively, compared with EP matrix. Moreover, the presence of cobalt alginate increases smoke-suppressant properties, according to the smoke density test. Additionally, the incorporation of cobalt alginate has no obviously destructive effect on the mechanical properties of EP, while EP/Cobalt Alginate-3 exhibits a 27.0% improvement in impact strength. In prospective, this study may provide a significant method for producing eco-friendly flame retardant EP.     

Effect of high temperature on the mechanical properties of hierarchical porous cenosphere/geopolymer composite foams

A hierarchical porous cenosphere/geopolymer composite foam (FHCs/KGP) was fabricated by the simultaneous incorporation of O₂ pore from hydrogen peroxide and cenosphere filler addition. Effects of both H₂O₂ content and high-temperature treatment on the microstructure, porosity and strength of porous FHCs/KGP foams were investigated systematically. The obtained FHCs/KGP foams showed typical amorphous structure and desirable porosity from 65 to 82%. The composites could crystallize in situ to FHCs/leucite foams above 1000℃. Compression strength of the FHCs/leucite foams showed a maximum value of 5 ± 0.3 MPa when treated at 1000°C. The improvement of mechanical properties for the composite foams was attributed to crack deflection, fractured microspheres and the good bond between the FHCs and matrix. This study could open opportunities to employ cellular foams as alternatives in structure and filtration applications.     

Preparation and mechanical characteristics of fine-woven cloth and punctured felt preform Cf/C-SiC-ZrC composite

A 3D architecture carbon fiber preform, specifically fine-woven cloth and punctured felt preform, is used to manufacture a novel advanced C_f/C-SiC-ZrC composite. The composite matrix is produced by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) plus precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) process and finalized by using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of SiC coating to make the final density of the material reach 1.95 g/cm³. The organic precursors of SiC and ZrC have a weight ratio of 4:1 in a xylene solute. The composite mechanical properties, such as tensile, compression, bending, shear, and Z-direction load bearing, are introduced under analysis to find possible applications for the composite. What is more, scanning electron microscope (SEM) images are employed to illustrate the failure behavior of the ceramic composite. The results showed that the punctured filament tows will be beneficial, not only for the composite to withstand compression force up to 308.6 MPa and shear strength to 18.14 MPa but also for the alternatively stacked weave piles and short fiber layers to support the punctured bundles, as well as to hold the composite structure under mechanical forces from different orientations, which is believed to reinforce the ceramic matrix for some high pressure and severe ablation applications.

碳酸锂在水和NaCl-KCl溶液体系中溶解度的在线测定

碳酸锂溶解度在工业结晶生产中是十分重要的基础数据。采用浸入式红外探头和拉曼探头在线监测溶液体系中CO₃^2-和碳酸锂的特征峰峰强的变化,依据Lambert-Beer定律得出溶液体系中实时在线测定碳酸锂的溶解度。通过在线测定,测得碳酸锂在氯化钠-氯化钾溶液（c_NaCl=0.446 6 mol/L,c_KCl=0.015 8 mol/L）中的溶解度高于在水中的溶解度值。实验测试出的水中碳酸锂的溶解度数据还能与Van′t Hoff方程较好地关联,进一步测算碳酸锂在其他温度下水中的溶解度值。此外,该方法测定的碳酸锂在水中的溶解度数据比文献值中采用重量分析法测试出的溶解度数据偏小,是因为测试装置不同造成的。

Design and Achievement of Metallurgical Bonding of Mg/Al Interface Prepared by Liquid–Liquid Compound Casting via a Co-deposited Cu–Ni Alloy Coating

The metallurgical bonding of Mg/Al bimetal by liquid–liquid compound casting was realized via co-deposition Cu–Ni alloy coating. The metallurgical layer of the Mg/Al bimetal consisted of Cu solid solution, Cu₂Mg and (Al0.7Cu1.3) Mg, Mg solid solution, Al₃Ni₂, and Mg₂Cu. Vickers hardness of the interface was between 149.9 and 209 HV, which was significantly lower than those of Al–Mg intermetallic compounds. The formation mechanism of the interface was attributed to interdiffusion among AZ91D, A356, and Cu–Ni alloy coating.
