WANG Shu-bin, XU Ting-xian, HAN Jie-cai, DU Shan-yi
2000, 17(4): 1-5.
Abstract:
PZT powder is made using oxide one off sintering technique. Its X ray diffraction (XRD) peaks are monitored and shown to be in crystallization phase of pure square with Zr/Ti equal to 52:48. The pattern of the PZT powder is observed with SEM; the mold technique of PVDF is analyzed by TG DTA. Six sorts of PZT/PVDF composites are obtained with different PZT volume ratios by compression mould/sintering technique. Tests of dielectric and piezoelectric show that electric parameter accretion increases nonlinearly with PZT content, when the volume content of PZT exceeds 70%, dielectric constant ε and piezoelectric constant d33 increase rapidly, and when it reaches 90% the electric parameters are almost the same as the pure PZT's.

SHANG Xiu-yong, ZHU Zi-kang, YIN Jie, MA Xiao-dong
2000, 17(4): 15-19.
Abstract:
A new type of soluble PI/SiO2 nanocomposite was successfully prepared by sol gel process with the addition of small amounts of γ glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane. Furthermore, the effects of coupling agent on the morphology and properties of the PI/SiO2 nanocomposite were investigated using UV vis, FT IR and SEM. The density and solubility of the PI/SiO2 nanocomposite were also measured. The results show that the coupling agent has great influence on the morphology of the PI/SiO2 nanocomposite.The size of SiO 2 inorganic particle becomes much smaller with the addition of coupling agent, which makes the PI/SiO2 films become transparent. Fortunately, the solubility of the PI/SiO2 nanocomposite is also improved by the coupling agent. And all these effects become even clearer with the amount of coupling agent. The density of the PI/SiO2 nanocomposite is also increased by coupling agent.

2000, 17(4): 32-37.
Abstract:
Three low viscosity benzoxzine resins were synthesized, and two kinds of RTM resins based on the benzoxazine resins containing catalyst of organic acid or epoxy tertiary amine and their glass cloth laminates were prepared. The influence of components and catalysts on viscosity and gelation time of the resins as well as the mechanical properties of the laminates has been investigated systematically. Both benzoxazine RTM resins catalyzed by organic acid or epoxy tertiary amine all have good technological properties; their viscosity is lower than 500cp in 2 hours at 70~90℃. The laminate made from organic acid system has T g 185℃(DMA) and flexural strength 405MPa at 180℃. The laminate made from epoxy tertiary amine system has T g 175℃ (DMA) and flexural strength 500MPa at 155℃. All the laminates can be used as heat resistant structural materials at 155℃.Therefore, a new heat resistant resin system required for RTM technological properties has been developed.

2000, 17(4): 71-75.
Abstract:
Two kinds of monodispersed SiO2 TiO2 composite particles with the uniform diameter of 18 nanometers and 40 nanometers separately were prepared by sol technology,and the best synthesis condition was also determined. Electron microscope revealed that the hydrated TiO 2 particle had been grafted onto the surface of SiO 2 particle, growing outside in a needle shape. Study on the covering process,the calcination behavior of the composite ultrafine powder and the surface modification displayed that the crystal form of TiO 2 transformed from anatase to rutile at 1100℃~1200℃, the o tridymite form of SiO 2 came into being in the same condition and the SiO2 TiO2 ultrafine powder modified by methanol could be redispersed well in ethanol.
STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF SINTERED Si3N4 TOUGHENED BY ZrO2(Y2O3)
ZANG Jian-bing, WANG Ming-zhi, WANG Yan-hui
2000, 17(4): 76-79.
Abstract:
The sintered Si3N4 toughened by ZrO2(Y2O3) was prepared at high temperature (1400℃) and ultra high pressure (4.2GPa). The phase structure and the mechanical properties were investigated by XRD and the measurements of compressive strength and micro hardness. The results show that the sintered Si3N4 was toughened by Y2O3 partially stabilized ZrO2 with Al addition.The phase transformation and toughness were increased with Y2O3 content in less than 2.5mol% Y2O3.The toughness increasing came from t m transformation and micro cracks. Almost 100% t ZrO2 were retained in more than 2.5mol% Y2O3 but the toughening effect was weakened by less transformation. The hardness was increased with Y2O3 content because Y2O3 can promote Si3N4 sintered as liquid at high temperature.

2000, 17(4): 80-83.
Abstract:
The effect of adding nano γ-Al2O3 powder on the sintering characteristics and microstructure of alumina and silicon carbide fibers was investigated. The results showed that the nano γ-Al2O3 powder was stuffed into the pores formed from the packing of micron alumina powder when its fiber was extruded. The density of the green alumina fiber increased with addition of nano γ-Al2O3 powder. The maximum density of the green fiber was obtained when γ-Al2O3 content is approximately 40%. Nano γ-Al2O3 powder, can promote the sintering of alumina and silicon carbide fibers, and a lower sintering temperature and higher fiber density may be expected.
NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THERMAL-GRADIENT CVI PROCESS FOR C/C COMPOSITE
JIANG Kai-yu, LI He-jun, LI Ke-zhi, HOU Xiang-hui
2000, 17(4): 84-87.
Abstract:
TCVI (Thermal Gradient CVI) process is a very potential process for C/C composite, by which C/C products with well distributed density can be manufactured in relatively shorter time. In this paper, the dynamic model and geometrical model of the process were established on the basis of theory of heat and mass transfer and structure character of the preform. According to these models, the technology of numerical simulation is applied to simulate and analyze the process. It's indicated by simulation that the preform is densified from interior to exterior during TCVI process so the external pores in the preform will not be sealed too early. The density homogeneity and the speed of deposition can be greatly improved by properly altering the thermal gradient in the preform. The result of simulation can lay the theoretical foundation for the development and application of TCVI process.

SHENG Hong-yu, FAN Jia-rang
2000, 17(4): 100-104.
Abstract:
Based on the fundamental equations of three dimensional elasticity, and by introducing boundary displacement functions, the state equation is established for thick laminated open cylindrical shell with clamped edges subjected to arbitrary loads. An analytical static solution is presented which is suitable for any thickness to span ratios. Because all the physical quantities appearing in the state equation are just the compatible quantities at the interfaces, the present paper is extremely convenient for solving the laminates. The solution given satisfies all the boundary conditions and continuity conditions between plies. In addition, the distributions of the boundary displacements along x or θ direction are assumed by polynomial functions, the convergence of the present method is faster and the stresses are continuous nearby the boundary.

XPS proved the presence of O P Si bond between the interfacial bonding by using such method, and a new biodegradable bone bonding composite can be made.
INFLUENCES OF THE ADDITIVE ON ELECTRO-AND MAGNETO-RHEOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF γ-Fe2O3/POLYACRYLATE COMPOSITE PARTICLES IN SILICONE OIL
LI Xiu-cuo, ZHANG Jian-yong, SU Kai, ZHANG Liu-cheng
2000, 17(4): 119-123.
Abstract:
Iron/polyacrylate composite particles were synthesized through inversed emulsion polymerization technique. The particles were then dispersed in silicone oil containing different additives to form electro and magneto rheological(ER and MR) fluids. Studying the influence of the additive on electro and magneto rheological effects, reveals that the fluid exhibits strong MR effects which do not change obviously with the type and amount of the additive, such as Span 80, MOA 3 and KH 550, while ER effects of the fluid change remarkably and differently in the same condition. The ER effect of the fluid decreases with increasing Span 80 content, while as for KH 550 it decreases in a much smaller degree. MOA 3 increases and then decreases the ER effect, leading to a maximum excess shear stress at the content of 1%~2%. This ER and MR effect difference stems from the different mechanism of the particle polarization and the interaction between the polarized particles under the electric and magnetic field.
