Incorporation of nano-sized mesoporous MCM-41 material used as fillers in natural rubber composite

The nano-sized mesoporous MCM-41 (without template), and the modification of MCM-41 (without template) were used to prepare natural rubber (NR) composites. The effects of coupling agents γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH-550), γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (KH-570), bis-(γ-triethoxysilylpropyl)-tetrasulfide (Si-69), isopropyl tri-(dioctylpyrophosphate)titanate (NDZ-201) on the mechanical properties of the composites were also investigated. The results showed that the tensile properties of Natural rubber/mesoporous MCM-41 nanocomposite were improved as compared with those of NR compound. KH-570 had good effect on enhancing the overall properties of the composites. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations revealed that the modified nano-sized MCM-41 material was well dispersed in the polymer matrix and the enhancement of the interface between the matrix and fillers was obtained.     

Effect of temperature on deformation behavior and microstructures of TC11 titanium alloy

The isothermal compression deformation behavior of TC11 titanium alloy with beta microstructure was studied between 750 °C and 1100 °C under the strain rate ranging from 0.001 s⁻¹ to 10 s⁻¹ by THERMECMASTOR-Z simulator. In addition, the effect of temperature on microstructure was observed using optical microscope. The results showed that the temperature greatly affected the flow stress and microstructure of TC11 titanium alloy cooled from beta phase region in air. During hot deformation of TC11 titanium alloy, the steady state flow characteristic was observed at higher temperature or lower strain rate. In the α + β phase region, spheroidization fraction of α lamellar decreased with increasing temperature, while in near-β and β phase regions, dynamic recrystallization fraction increased with increasing temperature in all strain rates except at the strain rate of 0.001 s⁻¹.     

The influence of beryllium addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-15%Mg2Si in-situ metal matrix composite

The effects of Beryllium (Be) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-15%Mg₂Si composite were investigated. The results showed that with the increase of Be content, the average size and volume fraction of primary Mg₂Si particles decreases. Pseudo-eutectic Mg₂Si has mainly a fine fibrous structure in both specimens with and without Be. However, in the samples containing Be, the path for crack propagation along cell boundaries is very tortuous. Meanwhile, β_Al-Mg-Be phase based on a β-Al₃Mg₂ phase of the Al-Mg system was observed in specimens containing Be. It was found that with the addition of Be the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation values improved. A study of the specimen's fracture surfaces via scanning electron microscope revealed that Be increases the number of fine dimples and decohered Mg₂Si particles.

咪唑封闭水性聚氨酯复鞣剂的制备及表征

通过分子设计,以咪唑为封闭剂,1,6-己二异氰酸酯（HDI）、二羟甲基丙酸（DMPA）、2,2-二（4-羟基苯基）丙烷、聚酯二醇为原料制备出咪唑封闭水性聚氨酯复鞣剂（BPU）。用FT-IR、动态激光光散射（DLS）、TEM、TGA、DSC分别对BPU分子结构、乳胶粒形态及热性能进行了表征,分析了BPU复鞣剂的分子作用基础。结果表明产物分子结构中出现了羧基、咪唑环和聚氨酯结构;乳胶粒呈较为规则的、具有核壳结构的球形,粒径的多分散性是BPU具有良好选择填充性的微观原因。TGA和DSC分析显示BPU耐热性较高并随封闭率增加而略有降低;BPU解封温度范围为107.5～124.5℃,峰值为115.1℃;应用过程中BPU解封程度极低,利于助染性能的提高。
