Filler effect on formation and properties of interpenetrating polymer networks based on polyurethane and polyesteracrylate

The formation processes of unfilled and filled interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) and some of their physico-mechanical properties have been investigated. The IPN formation kinetics and the constituent network curing rates determine the rate and degree of microphase separation. This in turn determines the boundary layer composition and structure. Introduction of filler into the IPN during formation affects greatly the crosslinking reaction and the microphase segregation of homopolymers. It has been shown that the degree of phase segregation in filled IPNs differs from that in unfilled ones. All the fillers were found to shorten the time of internal stress appearance and to increase its value for IPNs with predominantly high-modulus component content. Some filled IPNs were shown to have greater thermodynamic stability than unfilled ones.     

Ti-Zr-Ni-Cu非晶钎料在Si3N4陶瓷上的润湿性研究

针对Si3N4陶瓷的高温活性钎焊要求,设计了高温Ti-Zr-Ni-Cu非晶钎料成分,并采用单辊急冷法成功制备了Ti-Zr-Ni-Cu非晶钎料.对比分析了相同成分的Ti-Zr-Ni-Cu非晶和晶态钎料在Si3N4陶瓷表面的润湿情况.结果表明:在低真空条件下,晶态钎料能够润湿Si3N4陶瓷,非晶钎料却因完全氧化而失效.在5×10-3Pa高真空条件下,非晶钎料的润湿性优于晶态钎料,在研究的Ti-Zr-Ni-Cu非晶钎料中,Ti40Zr25Ni15Cu20非晶钎料对Si3N4陶瓷的润湿性最佳.     

Immobilization of simulated waste into pure Gd2Zr2O7 pyrochlore without space occupancy design

In this study, different molar ratios of Nd:Ce were directly mixed with prepared pure Gd₂Zr₂O₇ powders without space occupancy design. Samples were obtained by performing sparking plasma sintering (SPS) at 1750°C for 5 minutes. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that maximum solid solubility of simulated radionuclides can reach 50 mol%. In addition, all samples with the maximum solid solubility have high compactness, and all elements are evenly distributed on the surface of the samples. The samples show a better crystallization effect as the molar ratio of Nd:Ce increases. The maximum solid solubility increases from 42 mol% to 50 mol% when the amount of Nd₂O₃ reaches 66 mol%.

Improved properties of low-carbon MgO-C refractories with the addition of multilayer graphene/MgAl2O4 composite powders

The paper investigated the effects of different amounts (0%, 3%, 6%, 9%) of in situ multilayer graphene/MgAl₂O₄ composite powders on the slag resistance, thermal shock resistance, and oxidation resistance of low-carbon MgO-C refractories. Comparing with commercial MgAl₂O₄, the MgAl₂O₄ in in situ multilayer graphene/MgAl₂O₄ composite powders has higher lattice strain of crystal, which can trap more Mn and Fe ions, resulting in the better slag resistance. The oxidation decarbonation layer of MgO-C specimen with 3% composite powders is 9.71 mm, which is lower than not only the specimen with other contents but also specimen containing carbon black/MgAl₂O₄ powders. Moreover, the residual strength ratio of the specimen C/MA-3 was 47.47%, which is 28.5% and 8.08% higher than specimens with no additive and with carbon black/MgAl₂O₄ powders, respectively. Both improving thermal shock and oxidation resistance properties are related with the unique nano structure, multilayer graphene in situ formed between MgAl₂O₄ grains, of added composite powders. The former is due to higher strain energy consumed by multi-deflection of cracks inside the multilayer graphene/MgAl₂O₄ composite powders. And the latter is due to the higher energy of oxidation activation of multilayer graphene/MgAl₂O₄ composite powders due to effective protection of multilayer graphene by MgAl₂O₄.     

Review on nano-and microfiller-based polyamide 6 hybrid composite: Effect on mechanical properties and morphology

Polyamide 6 (PA6)-based composites are of evolving interest due to its high strength, wear resistance, and barrier properties. The use of binary composites mostly with nanomaterial and glass fibers has been reviewed and presented in literature. However to obtain a balance of properties like stiffness, toughness, and strength along with cost reduction, ternary composites of PA6 have been designed. To achieve the balance, PA6 blend-based composites, with combination of microfiller/nanofiller or PA6 with combination micro-microfiller, PA6 with microfiller/nanofiller and fiber have been designed. The properties of PA6-based ternary hybrid composites depend on type of dispersed phase used, presence of compatibilizer, type of filler used (nanofiller or microfiller or fiber or hybrid) and combination of fillers used. However, a review in this direction is not available in literature. Here, in this study, an overall understanding of various fillers, dispersed phase, and their combinations can be understood along with the discussion on effect of these on tensile properties and morphology of hybrid composite. In this study, an attempt has been made to review the various fillers and dispersed phase and their combinations which have been used in designing the PA6 hybrid composite with good balance of stiffness, toughness, and strength.     

One-step synthesis of high purity ZnO micro/nanostructures from pure Zn and pre-alloyed brass powders by vapor phase transport

In this research, vapor phase transport (VPT) was introduced as a facile, inexpensive method to produce ZnO micro/nanostructures from various Zn sources such as pure Zn and alpha brass pre-alloyed powders (Cu–20Zn and Cu–28Zn) at different processing temperatures of 930 °C–1050 °C. Simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) was carried out to investigate Zn evaporation and ZnO micro/nanostructure formation. STA results showed an exothermic peck at 711 °C and 728 °C for Cu–20Zn and Cu–28Zn, respectively, due to oxidation of the evaporated Zn element and formation of ZnO micro/nanostructures. X-ray diffraction results showed that high purity ZnO micro/nanostructures were successfully synthesized via VPT process and the crystallite size was increased from ~60 nm to ~100 nm with increasing processing temperature. Field emission scanning electron microscopy observations showed morphology (e.g. rods, column, tetrapods, and combs) and size of the synthesized micro/nanostructures were dependent on the Zn sources and processing temperature, in which average diameter of the synthesized ZnO structures was increased with increasing the processing temperature. The smallest (98 nm) and largest (603 nm) average diameters of synthesized ZnO micro/nanostructures were attained from the pure Zn and Cu–28Zn brass powders at 930 °C and 1050 °C, respectively.
