Abstract:
Carbon fiber composites are widely used in aerospace and automotive industries due to the characteris-tics of low density, high elasticity, and better toughness. Due to the complexity and instability of the manufacturing process of carbon fiber composites and their vulnerability to environmental impact during service, it is likely to generate delamination, porosity, fiber wrinkle, and other types of damage. In this paper, the principles and characteristics of C-scan, phased array, air-coupled, optical fiber-ultrasound, and laser-ultrasonic testing based on body or guided waves, as well as the research status of these technologies for damage detection of carbon fiber compo-sites, are introduced respectively. The most representative imaging algorithms for damage diagnosis are shown, including total-focus imaging, 3D visualization imaging, tomography, reverse time migration imaging, and probability imaging method, these imaging methods can effectively realize various types of damage morphology in carbon fiber composites. The prospect is made from the following aspects: The establishment of an array acoustic field model of carbon fiber composite laminates, the optimization of damage imaging method, the construction of intelligent/efficient/real-time structural health monitoring imaging system, the establishment of damage quantitative evaluation criteria, and combination of machine learning and digital twin technology for damage diagnosis assessment and life prediction.

2023, 40(8): 4327-4341. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20230227.002
Abstract:
Copper nanowires not only have excellent electrical conductivity comparable to silver, but also have good light transmittance and flexural resistance due to the size effect at the nanoscale. In addition, it is far cheaper than gold and silver, hence it is an ideal electrode material for preparing flexible electronic devices. The synthesis methods of copper nanowires were systematically reviewed, such as template method, vapor deposition method, electrospinning technology, and chemical liquid phase method. Purification technologies based on water-hydrophobic organic solvent system and acid treatment for copper nanowires were introduced. Various cladding materials with core-shell structure and corresponding cladding technologies used to improve the oxidation resistance and stability of copper nanowires were listed, including inert metals, carbon-based materials, and organic polymer materials. The application status of flexible electronic devices integrating high-quality copper nanowires (or their composites) with flexible substrates (paper-based, polyurethane, and polyethylene terephthalate, etc.) in the fields of flexible transparent electrodes, energy storage/conversion, and flexible sensors were concluded. Finally, the challenges faced in practical application were prospected.

ZENG Yihan, DING Chunxiang, LIN Bingqun, PAN Mingzhu
2023, 40(8): 4355-4373. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221222.002
Abstract:
In the synthesis of polymers and polymer composites, it is still a challenge to observe the real-time and dynamic evolution of material structure and provide implications for property prediction. As one of the methods to characterize the microscopic and submicroscopic structures of substances, small angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) technology can reflect unique microscopic conformational information, and can systematically study the morphological characteristics and formation process of chain-like, network-like, and layered polymers. The analysis of the formation mechanism of the aggregated structure of molecular materials, and their macroscopic performance prediction are very important. In this paper, three common methods for SAXS applications in current polymer materials research were presented, i.e., the peak observation, the model fitting, and the annular integration. Based on the above three methods, this paper introduced the practical functions of SAXS in studying different polymer materials, such as dynamic observation of the microstructural evolution process, and obtaining large-scale and statistically significant microstructural parameters. After comparing and evaluating the application methods and influences of SAXS in different polymer materials, it was concluded that SAXS plays a comprehensive role that is difficult to replicate in the study of complex polymer materials. It was hoped that this paper could serve as a primer to attract researchers' attention to understand SAXS technology, provide alternative research methods for the investigation of complex polymers, and expand the application of SAXS in wider fields to solve more problems.

Abstract:
Hydrogen energy is considered as the most ideal alternative renewable energy of fossil energy in the future. Electrochemical water splitting is the most effective approach to produce hydrogen. Design and development of high-efficient, stable and low-cost electrocatalyst is of significant urgence and importance to realize the large-scale production of hydrogen and oxygen from water splitting. Transition metal chalcogenides have become ideal electrocatalysts for water splitting due to their intrinsic electrocatalytic activities and abundant chemical phase compositions, among which CoSe2 with layered structure is the most representative transition metal selenides. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) possess highly-ordered porous structures and large specific surface area. The MOF-derived CoSe2 electrocatalysts can inherit the structural advantages of their MOF precursors. These kinds of MOF-derived synthetic methods are the most effective method to further improve the electrocatalytic activity of water splitting. This review summarizes the recent significant advances of MOF derived CoSe2-based electrocatalysts for overall water splitting. The crystal structure and phase transformation of CoSe2 are briefly introduced, and the synthetic methods of MOF derived CoSe2-based electrocatalysts are described. Furthermore, the effective ways to enhance the performance of hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction of MOF derived CoSe2-based electrocatalysts are emphatically elucidated. Finally, future research perspectives of MOF derived CoSe2-based electrocatalysts in the field of water splitting are prospected.

Abstract:
Due to the large volume variation of silicon and the poor conductivity, it is difficult to commercialize this anode material with a capacity of up to 4200 mA·h·g−1. The silicon/carbon anode of the yolk-shell structure is currently a hot spot in the research of silicon/carbon anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, which can well alleviate a series of problems caused by volume expansion of silicon anode during the charging and discharging process, so as to obtain superior lithium storage performance. In this paper, the carbon source, structure type and preparation process of the silicon/carbon anode of the yolk-shell structure are classified and summarized, and some important structural parameters are elaborated, and the development direction of the silicon/carbon anode of the yolk-shell structure is prospected in the future.

2023, 40(8): 4440-4459. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20230119.005
Abstract:
With the rapid development of aerospace, military, and electronic technologies, packaging methods and packaging materials have become important constraints for electronic devices to further achieve miniaturization, lightweight, and high performance.

QIAN Zhen, CAO Yu, ZHOU Yaozhong, CAI Hongxiang, ZHAO Xin, WANG Peng, HOU Min, CHEN Bingbin, NIU Bo, ZHANG Yayun, LONG Donghui
2023, 40(8): 4460-4470. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221014.005
Abstract:
Alternately stacking needling technology is a straight forward way to prepare three-dimensional (3D) fabrics, but randomly needling process will bring great challenges to the damage evolution, mechanical analysis and property prediction. In this paper, the damage evolution of nanoporous phenolic composites reinforced by alternately stacking fiber felt and woven fabric was revealed by in-situ X-ray Micro-CT device. And the angle deflections of fiber were described quantitatively under the loading of axial tensile by automatic tracing of microtubule centerlines. Finally, based on the 3D reconstructed structure, a high-precision finite element analysis model was established, and the axial tension mechanical behavior analysis was carried out. The results show that the damage in composite starts from the outmost layer where the microcracks in the fiber felt mainly originate from the resin-rich zone in the needling area, while the microcracks in the woven fabric are among filaments in fiber bundle. Besides, the woven fabric can improve the toughness of composite by preventing the microcrack expanding into the inner. The fibers in composite will consistently deflect to the outside, showing the property of negative Poisson's ratio, avoiding the "neck contraction" phenomenon at the fracture. The finite element analysis agrees with the results of experiments. The methods and results in this paper can provide a precious reference for microscopic fracture analysis, property prediction and structural optimization of complex 3D composite.

SUN Shiyong, ZHANG Rundong, WANG Xinling, YANG Rui
2023, 40(8): 4471-4480. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221102.001
Abstract:
Introducing viscoelastic damping layer into composites is an effective method to improve the composite structural vibration characteristics. The vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process of sandwich composites with perforated silicone rubber was investigated by experiment and simulation. Firstly, the equivalent permeability of fiber reinforced materials and its combination with the flow medium were tested under constant pressure injection conditions. Then, the VARTM platform was set up to observe mold filling experiment in the laboratory. The resin filling model was established based on the RTM-Worx software. The validity of the simulation model was verified by comparing the experimental resin flow diagram and the filling area with simulated results at different time. Finally, the effects of the parameters such as the spacing between columns, the row spacing, the diameter of the holes in the damping layer and the "edge effect" on the resin filling time and the filling process were discussed. The results show that the simulation model can better predict the resin flow behavior, and unreasonable parameters of damping layer can affect the resin flow and even lead to defects.

GU Yangyang, YAO Jianan, WANG Lifeng, LIU Gang, CHEN Chunhai, YANG Shuguang
2023, 40(8): 4481-4490. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221111.002
Abstract:
The interfacial strength between PAEK resin matrix and domestic T300 grade carbon fiber (SCF35) carbon fiber was studied by microsphere debonding method for domestic high performance poly aryl ether ketone (PAEK-L, PAEK-H) resins with different characteristics. The composites were prepared by using domestic carbon fiber reinforced poly aryl ether ketone (SCF35/PAEK) thermoplastic prepreg, and the effects of resin matrix on 90° tensile properties, short beam shear properties, type I fracture toughness and type II fracture toughness of the composites were studied. The results show that the interfacial properties of SCF35/PAEK composites are influenced by the fluidity of the resin matrix, and PAEK-H resin with higher fluidity can form a better interfacial bond with the fibers and higher interfacial strength. In the SCF35/PAEK-H composite, the resin-fiber contact angle is ~34.4°, the interfacial shear strength is ~79 MPa, the 90° tensile strength of the composite is ~76 MPa, the modulus is ~9.7 GPa, and the short-beam shear strength is ~92 MPa. While in the lower-fluidity PAEK-L resin and SCF35 carbon fiber composite, the resin-fiber contact angle of ~35.8°, interfacial shear strength of ~64 MPa, composite 90° tensile strength of ~55 MPa, modulus of ~8.6 GPa, and short-beam shear strength of ~86 MPa. The interlaminar properties of SCF35/PAEK composites are influenced by the plastic deformation ability of the resin matrix. PAEK-L, which has a stronger plastic deformation ability of the matrix, has a higher fracture toughness than PAEK-H. The type I fracture toughness of SCF35/PAEK-L is ~938 J/m2 and the type II fracture toughness is ~2232 J/m2, and the type I fracture toughness of SCF35/PAEK-H is ~638 J/m2 and the type II fracture toughness is ~1702 J/m2.

2023, 40(8): 4491-4505. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20220927.002
Abstract:
Polylactide (PLA) cross-shaped ribbed plates and Voronoi-based closed-cell foam structures were prepared using 3D printing technology. A rib-reinforced foam partition-filled thin-walled tube structure (RFFT) was proposed and the crushing performance of RFFT under quasi-static lateral compression was investigated. The results show that the failure sequence of the constituent elements within RFFT structure as well as the interaction between the elements changes with the location of the lateral load. Typically, for RFFT structures, the force-displacement responses and the crushing performance (i.e., the peak force, the mean crush force, the specific energy absorption, and the crush force efficiency) exhibit anisotropic characteristics. For two typical loading scenarios (i.e., lateral loads acting on the foam-filled and -unfilled zones of RFFT structure), the specific energy absorption of RFFT structure is increased by 125.16% and 129.22%, respectively, compared to the empty tube structure, whereas the peak force is found to be reduced by 5.54% and 31.28% compared to the fully foam-filled structure. Moreover, the finite element model was adopted to analyze the influence of design parameters and reveal the energy absorption mechanism of the partition foam-filled structure. Finally, the complex proportional assessment method was introduced to comprehensively evaluate the crashworthiness of RFFT structure with multiple indicators.

2023, 40(8): 4506-4516. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221104.001
Abstract:
Biaxial warp-knitted glass fabric and quadriaxial warp-knitted glass fabric were used as reinforcement, respectively. The flat and curved structure samples were prepared by applying the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding process. The bending behavior and quasi-static indentation characteristics of composite specimen were experimentally tested, and the influence of the reinforcement structure on the bending behavior of the composite in 0° and 90° directions was analyzed. On this basis, the influences of the reinforcement structure and the radius of curvature of the sample on the quasi-static indentation characteristics were also analyzed. Results show that the equivalent bending strength of the composite reinforced with biaxial warp-knitted fabric in 0° and 90° directions increase by 94.74% and 98.37%, respectively in comparison with that of the quadriaxial warp-knitted fabric, and the maximum fracture strain of the quadriaxial warp-knitted fabric in 0° and 90° directions are 1.9 times and 2.4 times than that of the biaxial warp-knitted fabric. When the curvature radius of biaxial composite is 260 mm and the curvature radius of quadriaxial composite is 150 mm, the bending strength of the two materials are optimal. When the curvature radius of biaxial composite is 150 mm and the curvature radius of quadriaxial composite is 80 mm, the fracture strain of the two composites are optimal. The experimental results will provide guidance for application of curved structure composite in various large outdoor building domes.

FU Pingpo, DING Hua, ZENG Xiangrui, WANG Ji, LUO Shiqing, WEI Zonglai
2023, 40(8): 4517-4530. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221110.003
Abstract:
There are great potential and application space of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) in lightweight vehicle body manufacturing, and realizing effective connection of the material is still a great challenge. The connection process between CFRP and aluminum alloy plate was explored using self-piercing riveting (SPR) technology, and the effects of rivet type, punching speed and riveting die dimension on joint structural parameters were summarized, then the forming mechanism of undercut structure in the riveting process was analyzed, the strength performance and failure mode of joints with various plate thicknesses were also investigated. It is found that the undercut value of SPR joint is affected by both the penetration depth of the rivet shank into the lower plate and the local moment on the rivet toe, and increases with the rise of the effective rivet length, the punching speed and the depth of the die. Through process optimization, SPR joints between CFRP and aluminum plates with good forming structure can be obtained, and the mechanical internal locking strength can reach 89% of that of aluminum alloy plates joint. However, compared with aluminum alloy joint with the same plate thickness, the outstanding weakness of CFRP joint is the ability of its CFRP upper plate to resist concentrated stress damage.

CHEN Shijie, YE Chao, LIU Wei, XUE Lihong, ZHOU Qilai, YIN Shengming, YAN Youwei
2023, 40(8): 4531-4538. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221115.001
Abstract:
Self-passivating W alloys exhibit excellent high temperature oxidation resistance and are expected to be used in key components in high temperature environments. In order to reveal the relationship between the microstructure and high temperature oxidation resistance of the alloy, a self-passivating W-Si alloy was prepared by mechanical alloying method combined with spark plasma sintering. The effect of different mechanical alloying time on the microstructure of the alloy was studied. And the high temperature oxidation resistance of the alloys was investigated. The results show that the alloys are composed of W, W5Si3 and SiOx phases. When the ball milling time increases from 4 h to 20 h, the content of SiOx in the alloys increases from 16.2% to 23.6%, while the content of W5Si3 decreases from 57.8% to 43.6%, and the grain sizes of W and W5Si3 are both reduced. The grain refinement contri-butes to the improvement of the microhardness of the alloys. After oxidized at 1000 ℃ for 10 h, the mass gain of the alloy prepared by ball milling for 4 h is 37.4 mg, while that of the alloy prepared by ball milling for 20 h reaches 141.6 mg, and their oxide layer thicknesses are about 167.0 μm and 415.7 μm, respectively. The alloy prepared with short ball milling time has better oxidation resistance, because the W5Si3 in this alloy is a continuous phase. The WO3/SiO2 composite oxide formed by in situ oxidation of W5Si3 is also a continuous phase, forming a protective oxide layer and effectively inhibiting the internal oxidation of the alloy.

2023, 40(8): 4539-4548. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221205.003
Abstract:
CO emission from iron and steel sintering flue gas has been paid more and more attention. However, there is a lack of efficient and practical CO removal technology for large flow flue gas. A series of coated catalysts were prepared by coating powder catalyst on cordierite honeycomb ceramic supports. The physicochemical properties of the coated catalysts were analyzed based on a series of characterization techniques, and the catalytic performance of CO was evaluated under actual sintering flue gas conditions. The results show that 1wt‰ polyvinyl alcohol content of slurry and 300℃ calcination could promote the uniformity of powder catalyst distribution on the surface of the support, and improve the ratio of Mn4+/Mn3+and Oads/Olatt. The coating shedding rate of the optimized coated catalyst is 1.25% after 60 min ultrasonic vibration. The catalytic efficiency of 99%CO can be achieved at 7500 h−1 space speed, 1%CO, 8% water vapour content and 110℃, and remains stable within 72 h. Based on the actual desulfurization of sintering flue gas in a steel plant, the efficiency can be stable above 82% after 720 h. The study can provide reference for the application of CO removal technology for industrial flue gas.

WANG Pengjia, PENG Baoying, WU Wei, GONG Yadong
2023, 40(8): 4549-4557. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221209.001
Abstract:
In order to effectively monitor isobutylene gas, Cr2O3 and W-doped Cr2O3 (W/Cr2O3) films were successfully synthesized via aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) technique on the surface of alumina substrate. The microstructure, crystal structure, and elemental binding valence of Cr2O3 and W/Cr2O3 films were analyzed by SEM, TEM, XRD and XPS. The results show that Cr2O3 film is composed of nanoparticles with the particle size of about 50 nm, a thickness of about 20 μm, and its structure is relatively loose. However, the thin film obtained by W doping Cr2O3 has a compact structure, and the size of nanoparticles is about 15 nm, which is remarkably reduced due to the introduction of W into the Cr2O3 crystal lattice. Both Cr2O3 and W/Cr2O3 films have a single hexagonal crystalline structure. The gas sensitivity test results show that the sensitivity of the gas sensor based on W/Cr2O3 film towards 2×10–5 isobutene increases from 1.11 to 3.55 compared with the Cr2O3 gas sensor at 400℃, and W/Cr2O3 gas sensor exhibits good stability, moisture resistance and gas selectivity.

2023, 40(8): 4558-4567. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221103.001
Abstract:
Polymers such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are limited by their low thermal conductivity, and it is important to enhance the thermal conductivity of polymer-based composites by adding thermally conductive fillers. In this paper, Al2O3-BNNS/PVDF composites with enhanced thermal conductivity were prepared by hot-compaction process using hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) and spherical alumina (Al2O3) as thermally conductive fillers. Firstly, BNNS nanofillers with thickness of 3-5 nm and diameter of 1-5 μm were prepared by exfoliation in green solvents consisting of choline chloride (ChCl) and aqueous phytic acid (PA). Then, based on the synergistic effect of BNNS and Al2O3 hybrid fillers, the thermally conductive composites with a pea pod-like structure were fabricated by solution blending-hot pressing, and a good three-dimensional heat conduction network was constructed. When 30wt%Al2O3 and 20wt%BNNS were added, the in-plane thermal conductivity of the composite was as high as 11.54 W/(m·K) and the vertical thermal conductivity was 5.70 W/(m·K). The thermal conductivity of the composite was greatly improved, showing excellent thermal performance.

2023, 40(8): 4568-4576. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221129.002
Abstract:
Reversible solid oxide cell (RSOC) is a clean and efficient electrochemical conversion and storage devices. Due to the Sr segregation in the now available perovskite oxygen electrodes, new requirements are put forward for the durability of oxygen electrodes. Y0.08Zr0.92O2-δ/Er0.4Bi1.6O3 (YSZ/ESB) composite electrolyte and Ca3Co4O9+δ (CCO) oxygen electrode were prepared by solution impregnation method in this paper. The polarization resistance of CCO oxygen electrode at 800°C was 0.45 Ω·cm2. The oxygen electrode showed superior durability in the process of alternating anodic and cathodic polarization for 100 h. Anodic and cathodic polarization displayed opposite influence mechanisms on the electrode performance. The degradation induced in the electrolysis mode can be eliminated by reversibly cycling between electrolysis and fuel-cell modes. The Ni-YSZ/YSZ/ESB/CCO single cell obtained a maximum power density of 722 mW·cm−2 at 800℃. The electrolysis current density at 1.5 V was 1204 mA·cm−2, which corresponded to the hydrogen production rate of 503.3 mL·cm−2·h−1. Results showed that CCO with good reversible polarization performance and long-term stability achieved a high energy conversion rate.

Abstract:
Interface solar steam generation technology provides an efficient and sustainable strategy for extracting fresh water from seawater and wastewater, which can effectively solve the current water crisis. In present work, diatomite based porous ceramics were prepared by grouting molding process by using natural diatomite as the main raw material and CaCO3 as the pore forming agent. Then, carbon nanotube/diatomite based porous ceramic composites were prepared successfully by surface modification of the diatomite based porous ceramics coating with the multi walled carbon nanotubes and sodium alginate mixed gel. Characterizations confirm that the diatomite based porous ceramics have a three-dimensional connected porous structure, and the pore size is mainly 10-30 µm. When the mass fraction of CaCO3 is 50wt%, the porosity can reach 73.2%. Owing to the multiple scattering effect and hydrophilicity of the porous structure and the excellent photothermal conversion ability of carbon nanotubes, the evaporator show excellent properties. Under one solar intensity, the evaporation rate and energy conversion efficiency of the evaporator are up to 2.07 kg·m−2·h−1 and 95.6%, respectively and maintains good cycle stability. Additionally, the ion rejection rate of seawater and wastewater for the evaporator can achieve nearly 100%. It shows broad application potential in the field of seawater desalination.

Abstract:
Vanadium dioxide (VO2) can change infrared transmittance in response to external temperature changes, and has become the preferred material for thermochromic smart windows. The facile ball milling method is simple, easy to operate, short reaction time, less pollution, suitable for industrial production. However, there are still some problems with vanadium dioxide that may hinder large scale production and practical applications, such as poor stability and easily agglomeration. Here we report on the preparation of thermochromic coating based on VO2@polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microcapsule synthesized through in-situ polymerized method. Uniform VO2@PMMA microcapsules was obtained by in situ polymerization of double bonds on the surface of VO2 and methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer. The space barrier effect of in-situ polymerized PMMA is used to prevent VO2 agglomeration. With good compactness PMMA prevent air and moisture from contacting VO2, which improve VO2 stability. VO2@PMMA films prepared by a roll coating method not only has good acid resistance and oxidation resistance, but also has excellent optical properties with the solar modulation efficiency (ΔTsol) 10.12% at 77.89% visible light transmittance (Tlum), which meets the application requirements of smart windows.

Abstract:
Fenton-like technology is one of the most promising water treatment technologies to remove refractory organic pollutants, and it is the key to construction Fenton-like catalysts with high activity and stability. In this work, a series of alkali-activated montmorillonite (Alk-MMT) with different structure and acidity were prepared via Ca-MMT treated with 5 mol/L NaOH solution at different treatment temperature. Fenton-like system composed with Alk-MMT supported iron catalyst (Fe/Alk-MMT) and H2O2 was used to remove methylene blue (MB). The material was systematically characterized by XRD, NH3-Temperature programmed desorption (TPD), XPS, SEM, FTIR, and N2 adsorption-desorption at low temperature techniques. The results show that the structure and acidity of Alk-MMT are significantly changed compared with Ca-MMT, which is dependent on the alkali treatment temperature. The structure and acidity of Alk-MMT obviously affect the removal performance of MB in Fenton-like system. The Fenton-like system using Fe/Alk-MMT-100 as catalyst exhibits higher removal efficiency of MB (> 98.7%) under the condition of 50℃, the catalyst dosage of 1.25 g/L, the H2O2 concentration of 0.85 mmol/L, and a wide pH (3.0-9.0) range for reacting 300 min. Meanwhile, the activity of the catalyst does not decrease after repeated use for 6 times, which exhibiting a good stability.

2023, 40(8): 4613-4624. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221009.001
Abstract:
In order to remove Cu(II) from the liquid phase efficiently, the amine-modified silica aerogel (NG) was prepared by co-condensation method using tetraethyl orthosilicate as raw material and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as amino agent. The effects of pH, ionic strength, time, temperature and other factors on the removal of Cu(II) by NG were systematically investigated. The adsorption mechanism of Cu(II) on the NG was analyzed by combining adsorption kinetics model, adsorption isotherm model, adsorption thermodynamics and site energy distribution theory. The results demonstrate that the adsorption capacity of Cu(II) increase with pH value from 3.00-6.00, and the adsorption is inhibited by the addition of ionic strength at the range of 0-0.08 mol/L. The outer-sphere complexes formed by Cu(II) and NG are confirmed by using FTIR analysis. Furthermore, the adsorption equilibrium is achieved within 8 h, and the adsorption process mainly go through boundary layer diffusion, intra-particle diffusion and chemisorption. The adsorption process is best fitted with the pseudo-second-order model and Freundlich model. The increase of temperature is beneficial to promote the adsorption reaction of Cu(II), and the maximum adsorption capacity reaches to 130.45 mg/g. The adsorption process is endothermic and entropy increasing spontaneous reaction. The energy distribution show that Cu(II) is preferentially adsorbed on the high-energy adsorption sites on NG and then occupied low-energy adsorption sites. Overall, the adsorption mechanism is mainly attributed to the electrostatic interaction and the outer-sphere complexation.

Abstract:
In this paper, the traditional difficult problem of separation between adsorbent and water phase was effectively solved by a kind of magnetic polyols boron adsorbent, which were designed and prepared based on the principle of magnetic separation. Firstly, the polyaniline compound Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@PANI) composites with core-shell structure were prepared by the in-situ polymerization reaction at the presence of aniline and Fe3O4 nanoparticles, which were prepared by ourselves. Then propylene glycol modified polyaniline compound Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@PANI-PG) boron adsorbent was successfully prepared by the ring-opening reaction between polyaniline terminal active —NH2 and glycidyl. After that, the micro-structure, composition and functional groups were analyzed by the SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, XPS and FTIR, respectively. The adsorption time, initial concentration of boric acid, pH and other factors of Fe3O4@PANI-PG were investigated by the single factor experiment. On this basis, the optimal adsorption conditions (time t=10 h, initial concentration C0=1309 mg/L, pH=9.93) were obtained by response surface method, and the corresponding optimal adsorption capacity up to Qe=0.1181 mmol/g. In addition, it was found that the adsorption process was in accordance with the quasi-second-order adsorption kinetics and Langmuir adsorption isotherm based on the adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherm fitting. Finally, the adsorption mechanism of Fe3O4@PANI-PG was explored and the results indicating the complex reaction between the hydroxyl group at the end of the adsorbent and B(OH)4 in the aqueous phase formed a stable five-membered ring chelate.

Abstract:
Dielectric energy storage materials with high working field strength and high energy storage efficiency have an important impact on improving the performance of power equipment and reducing the volume of power equipment. The cubic SrTiO3 powder was prepared as ceramic filler by the mixed alkali method, and the surface of the cubic SrTiO3 particles was treated by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) surface modification. The uniform polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) flexibility composite was prepared by the casting method. The effect of surface PVP modified cubic SrTiO3 filler on the dielectric properties and energy storage density of PVDF dielectric composites was systematically studied. The results show that the morphology of the SrTiO3 powder is cubic and the size is 200-400 nm. The particle size distribution is relatively uniform. The PVP coating layer formed on the surface of the cubic SrTiO3 filler can effectively prevent the agglomeration of the cubic SrTiO3 filler in the PVDF composites. At the same time, the PVP coating layer can improve the dispersion and bonding of the cubic SrTiO3 filler in the PVDF polymer. PVDF dielectric composite has excellent dielectric properties and breakdown strength. The dielectric constant of PVDF composites increases with the increase of the filling amount. When the filling amount of cubic SrTiO3 filler is 40vol%, the dielectric constant of the composite is 34.9. The energy storage density of PVDF dielectric composite increases first and then decreases with the increase of the filling volume. When the filling volume of the cubic SrTiO3 filler modified by the surface PVP is 5vol%, the energy storage density of the composite reaches 5.3 J/cm3.

2023, 40(8): 4648-4658. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221017.001
Abstract:
A unique hydrangea viburnum-like cobalt sulfide (HVCS) with multiple electrochemically active sites was successfully fabricated by a simple solvent thermal method. Polyaniline (PANI) was assembled onto the surface of HVCS through in situ polymerization and finally PANI were further carbonized to obtain hydrangea viburnum-like cobalt sulfide@nitrogen-rich carbon composite (HVCS@NC). Benefiting from the unique microstructure design and synergistic effect produced through the complementary properties of the two components, the fabricated HVCS@NC electrode demonstrates ideal electrochemical performance for supercapacitors through electrochemical analysis. The material exhibits an outstanding capacitive performance of 622 F·g−1 at a current density of 1 A·g−1 and the assembled asymmetric supercapacitor with HVCS@NC and active carbon (AC) as positive and negative electrodes, respectively, achieves a high specific energy of 19.9 W·h·kg−1 at a specific power of 1912.3 W·kg−1. All results show that high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials can be obtained by assembling conductive polymers on the surface of novel cobalt sulfide with special microscopic morphology and structure and then carbonizing. The plasticity and nitrogen-rich properties after carbonization of polyaniline have great advantages for improving the electrochemical performance of transition metal sulfide. This structural design strategy can be potentially extended to the improvement of electrochemical properties of other transition metal sulfide based electrode materials.

Abstract:
The steel bridge deck pavement materials are susceptible to damage caused by temperature, among which tensile damage is the most common. Modified polyurethane concrete is a new type of steel bridge deck pavement material. In order to study the effect of temperature on its tensile properties, uniaxial tensile experiments were carried out at −10°C, 0°C, 15°C, 40°C and 60°C. In order to ensure the success of the experiment, two kinds of experimental specimens (dumbbell-shaped specimen and dumbbell-shaped specimen with circular arc edge) were first designed. Meanwhile, a novel tensile testing fixture used to match the specimen was designed, and the experiment comparison of the two specimens was carried out. Through the uniaxial tensile experiment, the stress-strain curves were obtained and the tensile performance indexes were calculated according to the curve. The results show that using the dumbbell-shaped specimen with circular arc edge and the new tensile testing fixture has better effect. The new fixture can restrain the deformation of the fixture by adding bolts, so as to effectively reduce the stress concentration in the loading process. With the increase of temperature, the tensile strength and tensile elastic modulus of modified polyurethane concrete decrease. The peak strain, fracture energy density and tension-compression ratio all increase. The temperature related expressions of the tensile performance indexes are proposed. The uniaxial tensile constitutive relation of modified polyurethane concrete is constructed, and the calculation is in good agreement with the experimental results. The results can serve as basic references for the future engineering application of this material.

2023, 40(8): 4670-4681. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221102.003
Abstract:
As a new type of high performance composite material, high-strength steel wire strand (HSWS) meshes reinforced engineered cementitious composites (ECC), which makes full use of the excellent mechanical properties of HSWS meshes and ECC, has the advantages of ultra-high ductility and toughness, excellent crack-control ability and high strength. In order to explore the effect of secondary load on the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beam strengthened with this new composite material, the bending test of RC beams strengthened with HSWS meshes reinforced ECC was conducted, considering the effects of strengthening in load-carrying state, damage degree of the original beam, and reinforcement ratio of longitudinal HSWS. The influence mechanism of secondary load on the flexural performance of strengthened RC beams was analyzed, and the influence laws of these factors on the flexural behavior of RC beams strengthened with HSWS meshes reinforced ECC in load-carrying state were explored. The results show that the flexural capacity, stiffness, ductility and toughness of RC beams strengthened with high-strength steel wire meshes reinforced ECC in load-carrying state are increased by 38%-65%, 20%-81%, 0%-18% and 33%-116%, respectively, and the crack development of RC beam can be well restrained, and the crack width can be reduced. Compared with the RC beams strengthened in unloading state, the beams strengthened in load-carrying state exhibit obvious strain hysteresis in the reinforcement layer, resulting in the worse constraint effect on the crack of the original beam, and its flexural capacity, stiffness and toughness decrease, but its ductility is improved. The flexural capacity, stiffness, ductility and toughness of the beams strengthened in load-carrying state decrease as the original beam damage degree increases, but grow as the reinforcement ratio of HSWS increases properly.

2023, 40(8): 4682-4693. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20230222.003
Abstract:
Coral sand is widely used as a preferred building material for emergency projects of reef islands in the South China Sea. The mechanical properties of coral mortar are normally low due to the loose porosity, low particle strength and easy breakage of coral sand, making it hard to meet the requirements of practical projects. It is well recognized that graphene oxide (GO) can effectively improve the mechanical properties of coral mortar, but limited studies focus on the dynamic mechanical properties of GO-modified coral mortar under impact loads. In this study, a series of impact compression tests and microscopic tests were conducted on GO-modified coral mortar to investigate effects of GO content and strain rate on its dynamic mechanical properties and microscopic behaviors, respectively. Experimental results demonstrate that stress-strain curves of coral mortar could be approximately divided into four stages, and the development patterns of the curves were combinedly influenced by GO content and strain rate. The dynamic compressive strength of GO-modified coral mortar firstly increases and then decreases with increasing GO content, with a maximum value at 0.03wt% of GO content. Also, the dynamic strengthening factor (DIF) and toughness index of GO-modified coral mortar show obvious strain-rate effects. Microstructural observations imply that the addition of GO could drive hydration products to fill the cracks or large pores inside coral mortar, leading to improvements in its structural integrity and impact resistance performance.

2023, 40(8): 4694-4702. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221108.002
Abstract:
In order to study the effect of high addition of wollastonite fiber on the mechanical properties and cracking characteristics of metakaolin/slag geopolymer, wollastonite-metakaolin-slag geopolymer was prepared with the substitution mass fraction of wollastonite fiber (up to 40wt%) as the experimental parameter. The properties related to the content of wollastonite (mechanical strength, porosity and crack) were evaluated, and the effect of wollastonite fiber on the microstructure of geopolymer was studied. The results show that the addition of wollastonite fiber has a positive effect on inhibiting the cracking behavior of the geopolymer in dry environment, and it is continuously improved when the substitution amount is less than 40wt%. At the same time, it is also observed that the addition of wollastonite fiber has a positive effect on the mechanical properties of the geopolymer. The 28 days strength of the geopolymer with the substitution amount of wollastonite fiber of 20wt% reaches 70.2 MPa, which is 36% higher than the original compressive strength of metakaolin-based geopolymer. However, the continuous increase of wollastonite fiber will lead to the decrease of the compressive strength of the geopolymer. In addition, zeolite was detected in the composite, and the addition of wollastonite was beneficial to the development of zeolite phase.

2023, 40(8): 4703-4719. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221027.002
Abstract:
To investigate the effect of phase change microcapsules on the properties of mortar, we reported the high-performance composite phase change microcapsules using the vacuum adsorption method, where fly-ash cenosphere microporous served as a supporting skeleton and paraffin as a latent heat storage unit. The preparation phase change microcapsules were added to the mortar in equal volume sand substitution method to prepare energy storage mortars. The micro-morphology of the composite phase change microcapsules was analyzed by SEM image, and the thermal properties of the composite phase change microcapsules were characterized by DSC and TG. The influence of the introduction of the composite phase change microcapsules on the mechanical strength and temperature control performance of the mortar was studied. The test results show that the prepared composite phase change microcapsules have good dispersion ability, dense surface, and excellent cycle stability. In addition, introducing composite phase change microcapsules gives the mortar a certain temperature control performance. Compared with the blank mortar, the peak temperature of the energy storage mortar with the phase change microcapsules content of 30% decreased by 2.58℃, and the appearance time of the peak temperature was also delayed by 90 min. The mechanical strength of the energy storage mortar decreases slightly with the increase of the microcapsules content, but still meets the standard requirements. The energy storage mortar developed in this study has better mechanical properties and excellent temperature-regulating ability, and it is equally amenable to tempera-ture regulation and building energy conservation.

LIU Shengwei, LEI Yunxiao, ZHANG Jiawei, BAI Chengyu, HU Qinyong
2023, 40(8): 4720-4732. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221014.003
Abstract:
Four groups of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)-wood composite samples were prepared to study the effects of preexisting surface damage on the wood on the interfacial bonding in CFRP-wood composites. The effects of the extent of damage on the failure mode, load-strain, strain distribution and interfacial bearing capacity of the composites were analyzed. In addition, the influences of the damage on the mechanical properties of the interfaces were discussed. The experimental results show that the surface damage changes the failure mode of the CFRP-wood interfaces. As the extent of the damage increases, the shear failure surface is closer to the surface, and there are obvious characteristics of brittle failure at the interface. The preexisting surface damages cut the wood fibers, destroy the integrity of the surface fibers in the wood, weaken the interfacial stress transfer efficiency, concentrate the interfacial stress, and decrease the bearing capacity of the bonded interface. An expression for the interfacial stress distribution in the final composites was derived by analyzing the stress at bonded interface on the micron scale, and a model for the bearing capacity of the CFRP-wood interfaces that accounts for preexisting damage on the wood surface was established. The error between the calculation results of the interface bonding bearing capacity prediction model and the test results is less than 6%, which is in good agreement.

2023, 40(8): 4733-4744. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221014.004
Abstract:
Under the increasingly severe environmental pressure, the application of agricultural by-products such as rice husk ash (RHA) in concrete has attracted widespread attention. In order to study the effect of rice husk ash partial replacement (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%) of Portland cement by equal mass on the frost resistance of concrete, the apparent morphology, mass loss, dynamic elastic modulus and compressive strength of rice husk ash concrete under the action of freeze-thaw cycles were conducted, while the spatial distribution pattern of cement paste pores was explored by establishing the pore volume fractal dimension model, and the freeze-thaw damage deterioration mechanism of rice husk ash concrete was revealed. The results show that with the increase of the number of freeze-thaw cycles, the surface spalling damage of concrete gradually intensifies, the mass loss rate tends to decrease and then increase, while the relative dynamic elastic modulus and relative compressive strength show a decreasing trend. In addition, since the hardened cement paste before and after freeze-thaw cycles shows obvious multifractal characteristics, its pore structure can be divided into two categories: Small pores and great pores. Under the action of freeze-thaw cycles, the existence of the mesoporous structure of rice husk ash will improve the pore size distribution of concrete, resulting in an increase in the fractal dimension of the small pores. The great pores are more sensitive to freeze-thaw cycles, and their pore structures will be subject to freeze-thaw damage due to the gradual accumulation of swelling pressure.

2023, 40(8): 4745-4756. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221024.004
Abstract:
In order to study the effect of multi-composite hybrid fiber on the cyclic compression behavior of recycled concrete (HFRAC), monotone compression tests and monotone cyclic compression tests were carried out on 84 specimens. The effects of steel-carbon fiber (SF-CF), steel-glass fiber (SF-GF), steel-polypropylene fiber (SF-PF) and steel-polyvinyl alcohol fiber (SF-PVA) on the cyclic compression properties were analyzed. The results show that compared with ordinary recycled concrete, the failure mode of HFRAC is ductile failure, the envelope of stress-strain curve of HFRAC specimens under cyclic compression is approximately consistent with the stress-strain curve under monotonic compression, and the inhibition effect of SF-GF hybrid fiber and SF-PVA hybrid fiber on plastic strain accumulation is better than that of steel fiber recycled concrete. The addition of SF-CF hybrid fiber with large elastic modulus plays a significant role in increasing the stiffness degradation rate and hysteretic energy dissipation capacity of recycled concrete, and the stiffness degradation rate of recycled concrete increases by 43.4% when 1.0vol%SF+0.5vol%CF was added. Finally, on the basis of the experimental results, the full curve equation of stress-strain relationship of HFRAC under uniaxial cyclic compression is established, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

YI Fu, YANG Ji, MA Zeyu, YIN Yushi
2023, 40(8): 4757-4767. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221107.002
Abstract:
In order to study the influence of hot and humid acid rain environment on the shear bond performance of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)-concrete interface, 45 CFRP concrete single shear specimens were designed and manufactured. The hot and humid environment was simulated by mechanical high temperature dry and wet cycles and manually configured acid rain solution with pH 1.5. Through CFRP concrete shear tests, the effects of concrete strength and corrosion times on the interface failure mode, peel bearing capacity, ultimate displacement, load displacement curve and strain distribution in the bonding zone were discussed, an interfacial constitutive model based on the influence coefficient of hot and humid acid rain was established, and the reference method for the division of corrosion degree in hot and humid acid rain environment was proposed. The results show that with the increase of concrete strength, the interface bonding performance is enhanced, and the interface peeling position gradually changes to the adhesive layer. With the increase of corrosion times, the interfacial bonding performance presents a trend of increasing first and then decreasing. The corresponding interfacial peel bearing load and ultimate displacement of the three strength concretes are 3.04%, 3.50%, 5.78% and 0.50%, 0.49%, 0.95% higher than those of the uncorroded specimens, respectively. SO4 2– ions in acid rain invade the concrete surface to generate expansive material CaSO4·2H2O, which will temporarily enhance the interfacial bonding performance in the early stage of corrosion. In the tangential shear test, the load displacement curve presents four stages: Rising, concussion, strengthening and falling. The direction of stress transfer in the bonding zone is from the loading end to the free end. The interfacial constitutive model of the influence coefficient of hot and humid acid rain proposed in this paper is in good agreement with the existing test data, with high accuracy and safety. The related research results can provide theoretical support and design guidance for CFRP reinforcement project in high humidity and high heat acid rain area.

With the increase of PAM pretreatment temperature, the degree of acetylation and the yield of cellulose acetate increase to 42.19% and 93.97%, respectively. The optical properties of the prepared cellulose acetate films (ZCA-80-ZCA-120) show that the corn stover-based cellulose acetate films have good UV shielding performance, UVB and UVA shielding rates of ZCA-110 reach 96.51% and 73.72%, respectively. At the same time, the relationship between the UV (200-400 nm) shielding rate, the transmittance at 660 nm (T660) of ZCA-80-ZCA-120 and lignin content was revealed, indicating that the lignin content is the key factor determining the UV shielding performance of cellulose acetate film. A comparative study of corn stover-based cellulose acetate films without chitosan (ZCA-110) and with chitosan (CS/ZCA-5) was carried out by UV spectrophotometer, contact angle tester, XRD and FTIR, it is found that the light transmittance of the film added with chitosan is improved, the hydrophilicity is enhanced, the crystallinity is reduced. The lignocellulose-based cellulose acetate film prepared in this study will provide new ideas for the development of biodegradable UV shielding materials.

Abstract:
The abuse of antibiotics leads to the emergence of a large number of drug-resistant bacteria, which poses a serious threat to health and social economy. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new antibacterial agents to solve the problem of bacterial drug resistance. In this paper, silver trifluoroacetate (CF3COOAg) as raw material, using chemical reduction method to prepare nano-silver (Ag NPs) particles, and ultrasonic assisted coordination with 4-hydroxycoumarin to prepare 4-hydroxycoumarin-Ag NPs new composite antibacterial material. TEM, XRD, XPS, UV-Vis, FTIR, Zeta potential and theoretical calculation were used for characterization. Gram-negative bacteria E.coli, Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and drug-resistant bacteria T-Salmonella were used as model bacteria to study the synergistic bacteriostatic activity and bacteriostatic mechanism of 4-hydroxycoumarin-Ag. Compared with Ag NPs, the antibacterial efficiency of the composite material for E.coli, S. aureus and T-Salmonella has been improved 62.5%, 37.5% and 44.4% respectively. When the concentration of the composite material was 150 μg/mL, the bacteriostatic rate of the tested bacteria could reach 99.9% within 60 min. The inhibition mechanism showed that the composite material could significantly destroy the bacterial cell wall and enter the bacterial interior to inhibit the bacterial respiratory system. The material not only has the unique bactericidal properties of inorganic antibacterial agent and organic antibacterial agent, but also has stronger antibacterial activity and can solve the problem of bacterial resistance, which can provide scientific basis for the modification of antibiotics and the development of new antibacterial agent.

JIN Hua, ZHANG Shaojie, LI Zhewen, ZHANG Jieyan, MI Zhitong, XU Chenghai
2023, 40(8): 4792-4801. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221018.001
Abstract:
At present, the thermal protection mechanism of SiC-based materials for hypersonic vehicles mainly depends on the SiO2 protective layer formed by SiC passive oxidation at 1200-1700℃. However, the high-tempera-ture gas effect caused by hypersonic flight makes the thermal protection materials subjected to high temperature, low pressure and atomic oxygen loadings. The high activity of atomic oxygen will change the type of SiC oxidation reaction, resulting in the loss of protective ability. Therefore, the identification of active and passive oxidation types of materials under different flight conditions will directly determine the use threshold of materials, which is very important for the thermal protection systems (TPS) design of hypersonic vehicles and the development of new thermal protection materials. Based on it, this paper breaks the traditional method of analyzing the micro-composition of materials after oxidation, and establishes an on-line identification method and system of active and passive oxidation reaction for SiC-based thermal protection materials under high temperature, low pressure and atomic oxygen environment based on spectral diagnosis radio frequency (RF) plasma discharge and high power laser technology. The rapid on-line identification of active and passive oxidation reaction for SiC-based thermal protection materials is realized. After material analysis by SEM, EDS and XRD, the accuracy and reliability of this method were verified, and the evolution law for active oxidation of SiC materials in atomic oxygen environment was further explored, which provides an important support for the protection threshold of SiC-based thermal protection materials and the improvement of material properties.

2023, 40(8): 4802-4812. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221024.003
Abstract:
Aiming at the technical problems such as low bonding strength, serious warpage and edge cracks in the rolling process of Mg/Al laminated composite, one rolling pass forming with a corrugated roll was studied based on lattice severe deformation rolling (LSDR) principle. The plastic flow law and forming characteristics of the metal plates at complex roll gap were analyzed by finite element numerical calculation, and the rolling experiment was performed. The results show that a series of local strong non-uniform deformation effects distributed as a lattice structure can be applied on the magnesium alloy plate and at the bonding interface by the corrugated roll, and the plastic flow along both rolling direction (RD) and transverse direction (TD) has been strengthened when the LSDR principle is used. Additionally, larger shearing stress can be produced at the bonding interface. Compared with the traditional rolling using flat rolls, the tensile strength, tensile-shear strength and bending strength of the laminated composite prepared on the LSDR principle are significantly improved, and the maximum increase rate of tensile-shear strength obtained reaches 77%. Meanwhile, the bonding interface is uniform and reliable. The diffusion layer is about 5 μm thick. This study provides a valuable reference for the preparation of high-quality Mg/Al laminated composite.

Abstract:
The applications of ceramics are limited by their high sintering temperatures and poor processability. The ceramizable silicone rubber composites were prepared using kilchoanite as a ceramic filler, low-melting-point glass frit as a flux, and nano SiO2 as a reinforcing agent. The CaZnSi2O6 glass ceramics were sintered at 1000℃ using the ceramizable composites as machinable precursors. The effect of the mass fraction of silicone rubber and the content of glass frit on the mechanical properties of the ceramics was studied. The effect of Bi2O3 as a secondary flux on the microstructure, flexural strength and dielectric properties of the ceramics was investigated. The results show that the flexural strength of the ceramic samples increase first and then decrease with reducing the mass fraction of silicone rubber or increasing the content of glass frit. The maximum flexural strength of the ceramic samples without Bi2O3 sintered at 1000℃ is 90.54 MPa, and the linear contraction is only 15%. A proper content of Bi2O3 not only improve the density of microstructure and increase the flexural strength to 110.48 MPa, but also decrease the tanδ of the ceramics at power frequency and high temperature obviously, and improve the breakdown strength of the ceramics at power frequency. The precursors in this study have a good processability and could complete the sintering of ceramics with different sizes and shapes.

Abstract:
With the development of industrial technology, the field of mechanical engineering has put forward higher requirements for the vibration and noise reduction of aluminum alloy materials. In order to solve the problem of low intrinsic damping of aluminum alloy, NiTip/5052 Al composites with phase transformation damping characteristics were prepared by friction stir processing (FSP). The microstructure and phase composition of NiTip/5052 Al composites were analyzed by SEM, EDS and XRD. The phase transformation processes, mechanical properties and damping behaviors of the composites were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), universal testing machine and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), respectively. The results show that the interfaces between NiTi particles and 5052 Al matrix are well bonded after FSP, and no interfacial reaction occurs. The NiTip/5052 Al composites have martensitic transformation characteristics of NiTi alloy. The strength of NiTip/5052 Al composites are higher than 5052 Al and FSP-5052 Al alloy. The tensile strength of as-NiTip/5052 Al composite is 240 MPa, which is 23.7% and 10.1% higher than 5052 Al and FSP-5052 Al alloy, respectively. The damping properties of NiTip/5052 Al composites are significantly better than 5052 Al alloy and FSP-5052 Al alloy, and the composites exhibit significant phase transformation internal friction peaks. When the temperature rises to 23℃, the internal friction peak of 550℃-NiTip/5052 Al composite is 300% and 140% higher than 5052 Al and FSP-5052 Al alloys, respectively. When the temperature rises to 33℃, the internal friction peak of as-NiTip/5052 Al composite is 233% and 100% higher than 5052 Al and FSP-5052 Al alloys, respectively. The storage modulus of NiTip/5052 Al composites decrease with increasing temperature and strain, and their storage modulus are higher than 5052 Al alloy and FSP-5052 Al alloy.

Abstract:
The two-dimensional framework structure of barium-calcium zirconate titanate ceramics was prepared by the freezing orientation method. The ceramic composite material was prepared by filling polyetherimide (PEI) into this structure. The results show that a better two-dimensional structure of ceramic sheets can be obtained when the solid loading of ceramic paste is 30vol%. Among them, TRIS hydrochloride (Tris-HCl) as a dispersant has a better dispersion effect. The filling rate of polymer in ceramic composites is affected by the type of dispersant and the concentration of the filling solution. The permittivity of most composites is below 100, while the relative permittivity of barium zirconate titanate ceramic/polymer composites prepared in this experiment is 446. It is found that Tris-HCl has the best dispersion effect. At this time, when the concentration of polyetherimide/dichloromethane (PEI/DCM) solution is 15wt%, the polymer filling rate of ceramic composites is the highest (18.63%). With the increase of PEI filling rate, the maximum strain value of the ceramic sample increases and the maximum stress value decreases. The in-plane thermal conductivity increases with the increase of temperature. Ensure that it has a certain mechanical strength and improves the permittivity of the material.

2023, 40(8): 4840-4848. doi: 10.13801/j.cnki.fhclxb.20221110.002
Abstract:
Panels wrinkling behaviors may occur when composite soft-core sandwich structures subjected to coplanar compression loads. Once the panels wrinkling appears, the sandwich structures will lose its load-bearing capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an accurate model to predict the wrinkling behaviors of soft-core sandwich structures. Sandwich structure wrinkling is a typical three-dimensional (3D) problem, and few high-order models can accurately predict such issues. Therefore, this paper proposed an enhanced higher-order model including the local deformation and the 3D effects. Based on the proposed theory, the beam element formulation was derived, and the wrinkling behaviors of sandwich structures with different boundary conditions were analyzed. By comparing with the quasi-3D elasticity solution and the 3D finite element results, accuracy of the proposed method has been verified. In order to improve the capability of sandwich structures resisting the wrinkling deformation, this work attempted to use composite face sheets instead of metal panel in the sandwich structure. Numerical results show that the developed enhanced high-order model can accurately predict the wrinkling behaviors of the composite sandwich structures, and the use of composite panels can effectively resist the wrinkling behaviors of sandwich structures.

Abstract:
A novel anti-tetrachiral cellular structure composed of half-periodic sine beams was proposed. The in-plane tensile elasticity of the cellular structure was theoretically analyzed based on the energy method, then the theoretical model was verified by finite element simulation and experimental test, and the influence of geometric parameters on the tensile properties of the structure was discussed. Finally, the properties of the proposed structure were compared with those of the conventional chiral structure, and deformation mechanism of the proposed structure was also discussed. The results show that the novel structure has excellent deformation capability. The in-plane equivalent elastic modulus can be 5-6 orders of magnitude lower than the raw material. The structure also has a range of large equivalent negative Poisson’s ratio with the lower bound of −8.7, which is nearly 2 times larger than that of conventional chiral structure. As a unique novel auxetic structure, its highly tunable elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio can be used to develop buffer devices, medical stents, morphing wings, etc., which has great application potential in the field of shipbuilding, medical treatment, aerospace and so on.
