The composite characterizations were conducted by transmission electron microscope(TEM), scanning electron microscope(SEM), peeling tests and tensile tests. It is found that the ultra-fine grained laminated composites with tight bonding interface are prepared by the roll bonding technique. The annealing prompts the atomic diffusion in the interface between dissimilar matrixes, and even causes the formation of intermetallic compounds. The interfacial bonding strength increases to the maximum value owing to the interfacial solution strengthening at 300 °C annealing, but sharply decreases by the damage effect of intermetallic compounds at elevated temperatures. The composites obtain high tensile strength due to the Al crystallization grains and Cu twins at 300 °C. At 350 °C annealing, however, the composites get high elongation by the interfacial interlayer with submicron thickness.展开更多

The casting process is more economical than other available routes for metal matrix composite production, and the large sized components to be fabricated in short processing time. However, it is extremely difficult to obtain uniform dispersion of ultrafine ceramic particles in liquid metals due to the poor wettability and the specific gravity difference between the ceramic particle and metal matrix. In order to solve these problems, the mechanical milling (MM) and surface-active processes were introduced. As a result, Cu coated ultrafine TiC powders made by MM process using high energy ball milling machine were mixed with Sn powders as a surfactant to get better wettability by lowering the surface tension of carbon steel melt. The microstructural investigations by OM show that ultrafine TiC particles are distributed uniformly in carbon steel matrix. The grain sizes of the cast matrix with ultrafine TiC particles are much smaller than those without ultrafine TiC particles. This is probably due to the fact that TiC particles act as nucleation sites during solidification. The wear resistance of cast carbon steel composites added with MMed TiC/Cu-Sn powders is improved due to grain size refinement.展开更多

Cryorolling of Al-4%Cu-3%TiB2 in situ composite followed by short annealing at 175 ℃ and ageing at 125℃ resulted in an ultra-high yield strength of about 800 MPa with 9%total elongation. The strengthening contributions form solid solution strengthening, grain refinement, dislocation strengthening, precipitation hardening and dispersion strengthening were evaluated using standard equations. It was estimated that the maximum contribution was from grain refinement due to cryorolling followed by precipitation and dispersion strengthening.展开更多

The results indicate that the size, morphology and distribution of the in situ Mg2Si particles are greatly optimized with the assistance of the high-energy ultrasonic field. The amounts of the in situ Mg2Si particles are increased, the sizes are refined, the distributions become uniform, and the morphologies are changed to smooth olive-shape or spherical shape. The amounts of brittle fl-Mgl7All2 phases are decreased and the morphologies are granulated. The values of the tensile strength ab and HB hardness are increased. These are due to the cavitation effects and acoustic streaming effects induced by the high-energy ultrasonic field.展开更多

The effects of ball milling time and reaction temperature on the preparation of ultrafine/nanocrystalline WC-Co composite powders were studied using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that fine mixed oxide powders (WO3 , Co3O4 and carbon powders) can be obtained by long time ball milling. Increasing the reaction temperature can decrease the formation of Co3W3C and graphite phases and increase the WC crystallite size. Long-time ball milling and high reaction temperature are favorable to obtain fine and pure composite powders consisting of nanocrystalline WC from WO3 , Co3O4 and carbon powders.展开更多

High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT1R) spectroscopy, and micro-Raman spectroscopy were used to confirm that poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) had been successfully grafted onto the surface of the MWNTs. The effects of experimental parameters on the degree of graft- ing (DG) of PVAc were also investigated, including adsorbed dose, dose rate, initial monomer concentration, and solvents. The grafted MWNTs (MWNTs-g-PVAc) exhibited good solubility in common organic solvents at high mass fraction. In addition, a superhydrophobic composite membrane could be readily fabricated by vacuum filtration of MWNTs-g-PVAc onto a support- ing membrane, as was confirmed by water contact angle testing and visualization by scanning electron microscopy.展开更多

However, improving their electrochemical performance from electrode materials to assembled devices still remains huge challenges.Here, we for the first time synthesized two-dimensional(2D),ultrathin, mesoporous polypyrrole-based graphene nanosheets uniformly anchored with redox polyoxometalate(mPPy@rGO-POM) by soft template approach. Further, using a layer-by-layer deposition and mask-assisted technique, the compactly stacked and sandwich-like hybrid film(mPGM)based on pseudocapacitive mPPy@rGO-POM nano sheets and electrochemically exfoliated graphene was directly fabricated as binder-and additive-free interdigital electrodes for all-solid-state planar micro-supercapacitors(mPGM-MSCs). Notably, the resulted mPGM-MSCs exhibited outstanding areal capacitance(115 mF cm^-2), remarkably enhanced volumetric capacitance(137 F cm^-3 at 1 mV s^-1) in comparison with MSCs based on the films of mPPy@rGO without POM anchoring(95 F cm^-3), and non-porous polypyrrole-graphene(68 F cm^-3).Further, mPGM-MSCs disclosed robust mechanical flexibility with ~96% of capacitance retention at a highly bending angle of 180°, and impressive parallel or serial interconnection for boosting capacitance or voltage output. As a consequence, our proposed strategy of filling the redox species into mesoporous graphene and other 2D nanosheets will open up new ways to manufacture high-compact and flexible energy storage devices ranging from supercapacitors to batteries.展开更多
