LaBGeO5 single crystals in glass and second-harmonic generation

Flower-shaped crystals with diameters of 100–200 μm consisting of LaBGeO₅ (LBGO) single crystals similar to petals were observed in the interior of transparent LBGO surface-crystallized glasses. Each flower-shaped crystal was radially grown from the surface of the included bubbles. A more intense second-harmonic generation was observed from the LBGO crystallized glasses with the flower-shaped LBGO single crystals compared to the samples without such crystals based on the Maker fringe technique and second-harmonic (SH) generation microscopy. The SH intensity for the flower-shaped LBGO single crystals monotonically decreased with increasing temperature up to 350 °C, less than the Curie temperature reported so far (530 °C). It is considered that the internal compressive stress induced by the difference in the thermal expansion between the LBGO single crystal and the corresponding glass affect the ferroelectric property of the flower-shaped LBGO single crystals in glass.     

An investigation of non-linear elastic behavior of CFRP laminates and strain measurement using Lamb waves

This paper investigates the non-linear elastic behavior of unidirectional and cross-ply CFRP laminates and proposes a new method to measure tensile strain using Lamb waves. Young’s modulus was measured as a function of strain in situ using Lamb wave velocity during a tensile test. The stiffening effect of the carbon fibers on [0]₈ specimens and the softening effect of the epoxy matrix on [90]₈ specimens were accurately evaluated. Young’s modulus of the 0° ply was obtained as a quadratic function of strain. Using the function and the rule of mixture, the dependence of Young’s modulus on strain was accurately predicted for cross-ply laminates. Based on the results, the tensile strain was quantitatively correlated with the corresponding arrival time of the Lamb waves. The strains obtained from the proposed method agreed well with those from the strain gauge. Finally, the effect of transverse cracks on the in situ Young’s modulus of the cross-ply laminate under a tensile load was investigated. This method clearly detected even a small decrease in the Young’s modulus due to the transverse cracks in stiffening cross-ply laminate.     

A study of internal friction in polypropylene (PP) filled with nanometer-scale CaCO3 particles

The internal friction and relative elastic modulus of polypropylene (PP) filled with nanometer-scale calcium carbonate (nm-CaCO₃) particles in different contents (0, 4, 7, and 15 vol.%) are measured in the temperature range 150–400 K with a torsion pendulum. The peak associated with the glass transition and a small peak (′ peak) associated with the pre-melting process in crystalline parts of PP was observed around 290 and 370 K, respectively. At temperatures lower than 270 K, no peaks were observed. With increasing content of nm-CaCO₃ particles, the apparent activation energy of the peak decreases, and after passing a minimum of 4.7 eV at 4 vol.% of nm-CaCO₃, it increases. In contrary to this behavior, the peak temperature has a maximum of 289 K at the same filler fraction. Correspondingly, the highest tensile and flexural strength of PP were obtained around this content. These observations may be understood through the influences of fillers on the degree of crystallization of PP and on the mobility of molecules of PP.     

Direct probing of solvent-induced charge degradation in polypropylene electret fibres via electrostatic force microscopy

Electrostatic force microscopy was used to directly probe solvent‐induced charge degradation in electret filter media. Electrostatic force gradient images of individual polypropylene electret fibres were used to quantify the extent of charge degradation caused by the immersion of the fibres into isopropanol. Electrostatic force gradient images were obtained by monitoring the shifts in phase and frequency between the oscillations of the biased atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilever and those of the piezoelectric driver. Electrostatic force microscopy measurements were performed using non‐contact scans at a constant tip‐sample separation of 75 nm with varied bias voltages applied to the cantilever. Mathematical expressions, based on the capacitance of the tip‐sample system, were used to model the phase and frequency shifts as functions of the applied bias voltage to the tip and the offset voltage due to the fibre's charge. Quantitative agreement between the experimental data and the simplified model was observed.     

Applications of confocal microscopy in industrial solid materials: some examples and a first evaluation

We report here the first results of the application of confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) for the study of the microstructure of solid industrial materials. Glass-fibre-reinforced composites, heterogeneous and conductive polymers, homogeneous as well as heterogeneous catalyst (precursor) specimens and soils were examined. We conclude that both the fluorescence and reflection modes of CSLM can yield valuable information. In particular, the optical sectioning capability of CSLM appears to be of great value as it enables one to access the 3-D organization of the specimen without the need for a difficult and time-consuming specimen preparation procedure. However, local obscuration may be an important factor in confocal image formation, limiting the penetration capabilities of the technique for industrial materials.

The general effect of atomic size misfit on glass formation in conventional and high-entropy alloys

It is a longstanding notion that atomic size misfit plays an important role with regard to glass formation in multi-component alloys. In the previous studies, this atomic size effect was commonly modeled as an “inclusion-in-matrix” problem and glass formation was usually linked to a threshold volume strain in “matrix” or solvent atoms. However, it becomes difficult to directly apply this approach to high entropy alloys, which are in lack of a clear distinction between solvent and solute atoms. With the simple geometric model we recently developed, here we show that glass formation in over two hundred glass-forming alloys, including conventional and high-entropy alloys, can be correlated with the excessive fluctuation in the intrinsic residual strains that result from the atomic size misfit. This interesting behavior suggests that, in most glass-forming multicomponent alloys hitherto reported, the atomic size effect acts with the chemistry effect to promote glass formation. Furthermore, our findings also imply that glass formation in multi-component alloys, regardless of their compositional complexity, may be rationalized with the Lindamann's criterion that was long established for the instability of crystalline lattices.
