The temperature distribution and the macrosegregation together with the eutectic lamellar spacing during solidification were measured under different magnetic fields. The results indicate that the compositions in the top and bottom portions of the sample are nearly the same and the segregation phenomenon is basically eliminated by SMF at an exciting current of 125 A. The morphology of the primary phase transforms from coarse dendrite to rosette or ellipsoidal equiaxed crystal and the spacing of the eutectic lamellar increases from 1.6 to 3.9 μm when the exciting current increases from 0 to 125 A. Moreover, if the exciting current is high enough, the forced fluid flow caused by SMF will enhance the process of transition from lamellar eutectic structure to anomalous rod-like one.展开更多

文摘Porous titanium alloy is currently widely used in clinical treatment of orthopaedic diseases for its lower elastic modulus and ability to integrate with bone tissue.At the micro-level,cells can respond to different geometries,and at the macro-level,the geometric design of implants will also affect the biological function of cells.In this study,three kinds of porous scaffolds with square,triangular and circle rod shapes were designed and 3D printed.This study observed the proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells during surface culture of the three types of scaffolds.It also evaluated the characteristics of the three scaffolds by means of compression tests and scanning electron microscopy to provide a reference for the design of porous titanium alloy implants for clinical applications.The trends of cell proliferation and gene expression between the three types of scaffolds were observed after treatment with two inhibitors.The results show that the square rod porous scaffolds have the best proliferative and osteogenic activities,and these findings may be due to differences in piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1(Piezo1)and Yes-associated protein(YAP)expression caused by the macro-geometric topography.

文摘Silyl cobalt species are putative intermediates in cobalt-catalyzed transformations of hydrosilanes.However,their reactivity has remained poorly understood.Reported here is the investigation on four-coordinate disilyl Co(Ⅱ)complexes with N-hetereocyclic carbene ligation.The reactions of[(ICy)_(2)Co(vtms)](ICy=1,3-dicyclohexylimidazol-2-ylidene,vtms=vinyltrimethylsilane)with primary and secondary hydrosilanes(3 equiv.)furnish the four-coordinate disilyl complexes[trans-(ICy)_(2)Co(SiHRR')_(2)](SiHRR'=SiH_(2)Mes,1;SiH_(2)Ph,2;SiH_(2)Cy,3;SiHPh_(2),4;SiHEt_(2),5)in moderate to good yields.The structures of 1,2 and 4 were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.Solution magnetic susceptibility measurement and EPR spectroscopy indicate their low-spin nature(S=1/2).Reactivity studies on 4 led to the establishment of the conversions of 4 to the disilyl dihydride Co(Ⅲ)complex[K(THF)][(ICy)_(2)Co(H)_(2)(SiHPh_(2))_(2)]_n(6)and the fluorosilyl Co(Ⅱ)complex[(ICy)_(2)Co(THF)(SiFPh_(2))][BF_(4)](7)when 4 was treated with excess amount of K and AgBF_(4),respectively,in THF.These conversions hint at the high activity of low-valent and high-valent disilyl cobalt species[trans-(ICy)_(2)Co(SiHPh_(2))_(2)]^(1-)and[trans-(ICy)_(2)Co(SiHPh_(2))_(2)]^(2+).Complex 4 is reactive toward terminal alkynes,but inert toward alkenes and internal alkynes.The reactions of 4 with terminal alkynes CyC≡CH and Me_(3)SiC≡CH(3 equiv.)yield the Co(Ⅱ)complexes[(ICy)_(2)Co(C≡CCy)_(2)](8)and[(ICy)_(2)Co(C≡CSiMe_(3))((SiMe_(3))C=CH_(2))](9),respectively,along with H_(2)SiPh_(2)and alkynylsilanes RC≡CSiHPh_(2)(R=Cy,SiMe_(3)),whereas the reaction with 4-CF_(3)C_(6)H_(4)C≡CH(3 equiv.)produce[(ICy)_(2)Co(C≡CAr)((Ar)C=CH(SiHPh_(2))C=CHAr)](Ar=4-CF_(3)C_(6)H_(4))(10)and H_(2)SiPh_(2).These reactions are proposed to involveσ-bond metathesis reactions between alkyne C(sp)-H bonds and Co-Si bonds in 4.Complexes 6–10 have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction study,and elemental analysis.

文摘Polymer thermoelectric(TE)composites have witnessed explosive developments in recent years,arising from their promising prospect for lightweight flexible electronics and capability of harvesting waste-heat.In sharp contrast with intrinsically conducting polymers(CPs),the insulating thermoplastics have seldom been employed as the matrices for flexible TE composites despite their advantages of low costs,controllable melt-flowing behaviors and excellent mechanical properties.Here,we report flexible films of polycarbonate/single-walled carbon nanotube(PC/SWCNT)composites with improved trade-off between TE and mechanical performances.The SWCNTs with 1D nanostructure were dramatically aligned by PC melt-flowing under hot-pressing in the radial direction.The composite maximum power factor reaches 4.8±0.8μW m^(−1) K^(−2) at 10 wt%SWCNTs in the aligned direction,which is higher than most previously reported thermoplastics-based TE composites at the same SWCNT loading and even comparable to some intrinsically CPs and their composites.In addition,these composites display significantly higher tensile modulus and strength than CPs and their composites.This study paves an effective way to fabricate flexible films of polymer composites with simultaneously high TE and mechanical performances via judicious alignment of SWCNTs in thermoplastic polymers.

文摘The effect of spiral magnetic field (SMF) on the solidification process of Sn-20 wt.%Pb hypoeutectic alloy was studied in this work. The temperature distribution and the macrosegregation together with the eutectic lamellar spacing during solidification were measured under different magnetic fields. The results indicate that the compositions in the top and bottom portions of the sample are nearly the same and the segregation phenomenon is basically eliminated by SMF at an exciting current of 125 A. The morphology of the primary phase transforms from coarse dendrite to rosette or ellipsoidal equiaxed crystal and the spacing of the eutectic lamellar increases from 1.6 to 3.9 μm when the exciting current increases from 0 to 125 A. Moreover, if the exciting current is high enough, the forced fluid flow caused by SMF will enhance the process of transition from lamellar eutectic structure to anomalous rod-like one.

文摘Monolithic bulk metallic glass and glass matrix composites with a relative density above 98%were produced by processing Cu_(46)Zr_(46)Al_(8)(at.%)via selective laser melting(SLM).Their microstructures and mechanical properties were systematically examined.B2 CuZr nanocrystals(30-100 nm in diameter)are uniformly dispersed in the glassy matrix when SLM is conducted at an intermediate energy input.These B2 CuZr nanocrystals nucleate the oxygen-stabilized big cube phase during a remelting step.The presence of these nanocrystals increases the structural heterogeneity as indirectly revealed by mircrohardness and nanoindentation measurements.The corresponding maps in combination with calorimetric data indicate that the glassy phase is altered by the processing conditions.Despite the formation of crystals and a high overall free volume content,all additively manufactured samples fail at lower stress than the as-cast glass and without any plastic strain.The inherent brittleness is attributed to the presence of relatively large pores and the increased oxygen content after selective laser melting.

文摘Steel matrix composites(SMCs),reinforced by ceramic particles,have received a consistent attention in recent years.Using conventional methods to prepare SMCs is generally challenging,and the mechanical properties of conventionally fabricated SMCs are limited.In this study,we successfully fabricated highperformance SMCs by laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)of a composite powder consisting of Fe-based alloy powder and submicron-sized WC particles.The effect of laser energy density on the phase formation,microstructural evolution,overall density and resulting mechanical properties of LPBF-fabricated composites was investigated.The present results show that a novel Fe_(2)W_(4)C carbidic network precipitates in the solidified microstructure entailing segregations along the boundaries of cellular sub-grains.The presence of this carbidic network hampers the growth of sub-grains even at elevated temperatures,and hence,stabilizes the grain size though prepared at a broad range of different energy densities.The exact distribution of the Fe_(2)W_(4)C carbides depends on the employed laser energy densities,as for instance they are more uniformly distributed at higher energy input.The density of LPBF samples reaches the maximum value of 99.4%at 150 J/mm^(3).In this parameter set,high microhardness of~753 HV,compression strength of~3350 MPa and fracture strain of~24.4%are obtained.The enhanced mechanical properties are ascribed to less metallurgical defects,higher volume fraction of the martensitic phase and increasing pile-up dislocations resulting from the pinning effect by Fe_(2)W_(4)C carbide.
