Effect of sterilization on barrier property of BOPET used in film-laminated steel

High-temperature sterilization is applied when film-laminated steel is used as food-can packaging material. To study the effect of this sterilization on the barrier property of biaxially oriented polyester （BOPET） film,the water vapor transmission, thermal properties, and microstructure of BOPET that had undergone different sterilization time were analyzed. Results show that water vapor transmission is decreased by sterilization, and that with increased sterilization treatment time,the melting point and melting enthalpy of BOPET increases. Moreover, the microstructure of BOPET film also can be improved by sterilization ,in which the quantity of crystal nuclei and the crystallization density increase to form a network-like structure, which is beneficial to the barrier property of BOPET film.

采用铝板水热碳吸附工艺(HTCAP)和真空热压烧结工艺(VHPS)制备无定形碳(APC)/Al层状复合材料,研究葡萄糖溶液浓度对其显微组织、力学性能和摩擦学性能的影响。结果表明,APC在层间分布均匀,并且通过Al的扩散与基体形成良好的界面结合。随着葡萄糖溶液浓度的增加,层间硬度、极限抗拉强度(UTS)和伸长率先增大后减小,而磨损率则呈现相反的趋势,摩擦因数(COF)逐渐减小。当葡萄糖溶液浓度为0.3 mol/L时,伸长率最大,为16.4%,磨损率最小,为0.344×10^(-5)mm^(3)/(N·m)。粘着磨损是APC/Al层状复合材料的主要磨损机制。耐磨性的提高是由于在磨损表面形成均匀的APC润滑膜。

Stiffness of In-Situ Formed Interleaving Polymeric Nanofiber-Epoxy Nanocomposites

This study proposes a facile, but precise method to back-calculate the effective modulus of nanocomposite interleaving plies. Adaptation of a conventional dry-reinforcement resin film infusion (RFI) approach allows interleaving neat epoxy layers (NE) with the epoxy-infused nanofibrous plies (XE) of constant thickness. The final cured nanocomposite laminate thus has the form (NE/XE)n, where “n” denotes the number of the repeats and enables clear distinction of the nanocomposite interlayers through the thickness. Mechanical testing of neat epoxy and laminated nanocomposite specimens can be coupled with the classical lamination theory for back-calculating in-plane elastic modulus of the individual epoxy-infused nanofibrous plies (EXE). Finite element analysis (FEA) and testing the laminated nanocomposite subject to flexural loading (3-point bending) are proposed to validate the analytically back-calculated EXE. It is shown that the FEA prediction incorporating EXE and testing for flexural modulus of (NE/XE)20 laminated nanocomposites correlate well and the results are within 5%. This finding suggests that the back-calculation scheme reported herein would be attractive for accurately determining the properties of an individual nanocomposite building block layer. The proposed framework is beneficial for modelling laminated structural composites incorporating XE-like nanocomposite interlayers.

Sulfonated polyaniline/vanadate composite as anode material and its electrochemical property in microbial fuel cells on ocean floor

A unique sulfonated polyaniline/vanadate composite was synthesized and utilized as a composite anode in microbial fuel cells on ocean floor (BMFCs). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were employed to characterize its chemical composition and morphology. Wettability of the composite anodes decreases due to the addition of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The electrochemical behavior of the composite anodes was investigated by means of linear sweep voltammetry and Tafel plot measurements. Compared with the plain graphite anode,the composite anode significantly improves the power density,5.5-fold higher,reaching 187.1 mW/m2 and gives a 27-fold higher exchange current density and a higher kinetic activity. A novel synergistic mechanism between sulfonated polyaniline and vanadate is proposed to explain the excellent electrochemical performance. This composite thus has great potential to be used as an anode material for a high-power BMFC.

Damping and Mechanical Properties of Cocured Composite Laminates with Embedded Perforate Viscoelastic Layer

The composite laminates with embedded acrylonitrile butadiene rubber （NBR） layer were fabricated by cocuring process. The embedded layers were perforated with a series of small holes to allow resin to flow through the damping layer and completely couple the structure to improve bending stiffness and interlaminar shearing strength of these cocured composite laminates. The damping, bending stiffness and shearing strength of these composite laminates with different perforation diameters were investigated. The experimental results show that increasing the perforation diameter leads to significant decreases in damping and significant increase in bending stiffness up to an area ratio of 7.065%. The area ratio here is defined as the ratio of perforation area to the total damping area. Beyond the area ratio of 7.065%, increasing the diameter to an area ratio of 50.24% results in only a slight variation in damping and bending stiffness. Moreover, increasing the perforation diameter does not always increase the shearing strength of the embedded viscoelastic layer. The shearing strength of embedded viscoelastic layer increases only when the area ratio is greater than 19.625%; instead, it will decrease.

Preparation, structure and properties of Mg/Al laminated metal composites fabricated by roll-bonding, a review

Laminated metal composites(LMCs) are a unique composite material and have great application prospects in automobiles, ships, aircraft,and other manufacturing industries. As lightweight materials, the Mg/Al LMCs are expected to combine the advantages of both Mg and Al alloys to broaden their application prospects. Roll-bonding is the most popular process for the fabrication of Mg/Al LMCs due to high production efficiency and good product quality stability. The roll-bonding process involves the deformation of the substrates and the formation of the interfacial diffusion layer. The latter will directly determine the interface bonding strength of Mg/Al LMCs. Bonding strength is very sensitive to the thickness of the reaction layer in the diffusion layer. When the thickness of the reaction layer exceeds 5 μm, the bonding strength decreases sharply. Therefore, controlling the thickness of the reaction layer is very important for the design of rolling parameters.The latest research also showed that the addition of intermediate layer metal and the construction of three-dimensional interfaces can further improve the interface bonding strength. How to apply these methods to roll-bonding is the focus of future research. Recently, a new rolling technique, corrugated roll/plat roll rolling+flat roll/flat roll rolling has been developed to fabricate Mg/Al LMCs. It can effectively promote the deformation of the hard layer and generate a wavy interface, resulting in the enhancement of the bonding quality and rolling quality.In the current review, the effects of rolling parameters and subsequent annealing on the interface structure of Mg/Al LMCs were elaborated in detail. The application of some special rolling techniques in the preparation of Mg/Al LMCs was also summarized. The latest research results on the relationship between interface structure and mechanical properties of Mg/Al LMCs were reviewed. Finally, further research directions in this field were proposed.

Elastic and Plastic Behaviors of Laminated Ti-TiBw/Ti Composites

The novel laminated Ti-TiBw/Ti composites composed of pure Ti layers and TiBw/Ti composite layers have been successfully fabricated by reactive hot pressing. Herein, two-scale structures formed： the pure Ti layer and TiBw/Ti composite layer together constructed a laminated structure at a macro scale. Furthermore, TiBw reinforcement was distributed around Ti particles and then formed a network microstructure in TiBw/Ti composite layer at a micro scale. The laminated Ti-TiBw/Ti composites reveal a superior combination of high strength and high elongation due to two-scale structures compared with the pure Ti, and a further enhancement in ductility compared with the network structured composites. Moreover, the elastic modulus of the laminated composites can be predicted by H-S upper bound, which is consistent with the experimental values.

A Review of Basic Mechanical Behavior of Laminated Bamboo Lumber

Over the past decade,the physical and mechanical performances of laminated bamboo lumber(LBL)–a bamboo-based structural material,have been extensively studied using experimental,analytical,and numerical approaches.This paper presents a review of existing knowledge in the literature about the mechanical properties of LBL.The paper involved the review of the response of LBL to different types of loading such as tension,bending,compres-sion,and shear.Based on results of the literature reviewed,the strength of LBL parallel to grain was 90–124 MPa with MOE of 10700 MPa in tension,29.55–72.60 MPa,and MOE of 8396–11022 MPa in compression,63.87–128.4 MPa,and MOE of 8320–10912 MPa in bending,and 7.15–17.5 MPa in shear.The average strength of LBL was similar and in some cases exceeded the average values of bamboo-or wood-based materials,while the variability of its mechanical parameters was lower.The variability in strength values of LBL was affected by bamboo species,density and thickness of bamboo strips,growth portion,type of treatment,strips arrange-ments,and type of adhesive which in turn calls for classification of LBL by strength grades,degree of hardness,the capability of impregnation and penetration,as well as by areas of application in construction.The study pro-vided and discussed concluding observations,the current research gap,and future research directions on the mechanical properties of LBL.

Stresses of orthotropic laminated beams subjected to high temperature and mechanical load

Thermo-elastic analysis of simply-supported orthotropic laminated beams subjected to high temperature and mechanical load is presented on the basis of the exact two-dimensional thermoelasticity theory.The beam is composed of several orthotropic layers,each with temperaturedependent material properties.The governing equation for each layer is analytically solved using the state space method.The displacement and stress solutions of the beam are obtained using the transfer-matrix method.A numerical example is included to study the effects of temperature on the mechanical responses of a sandwich beam.The results reveal two main effects of temperature:(i)inducing deformations and stresses by itself;(ii)affecting the deformations and stresses induced by the mechanical load.

Optimized design and preparation of Ti/TiAl laminated composite

Laminated composite is a new type of composite structure which is used to improve the fracture toughness and flexure strength and is good for optimizing the mechanical properties of intermetallics. On the basis of bionic principle, the optimized design (via establishing the mathematical model, stress intensity factor K_Ⅰ was computed by the finite element method) of Ti/TiAl laminated composite was studied by varying the thickness ratio and layer amounts, then the raw materials of Ti and TiAl were evaporated and deposited alternatively to form laminated metal/intermetallic composites in vacuum chamber by electron beam physical vapor deposition method. The results show that the toughness of TiAl is improved and agrees well with theoretical analysis.

Design of Multi-Coupled Laminates with Extension-Twisting Coupling for Application in Adaptive Structures

The multiple coupling of composite laminates has a unique advantage in improving the macro mechanical properties of composite structures.A total of three hygro-thermally stablemulti-coupled laminates with extensiontwisting coupling were presented,which were conducive to the formation of passive adaptive structures.Then,the multi-coupled laminates were used to design the bending-twisting coupled box structure,in which the configuration of laminate and box structure could be extended to variable cross-section configuration.The optimal design of stacking sequence was realized,the optimization objectives of which were to maximize bending-twisting coupling of box structure and extension-twisting coupling of laminate,respectively.The effects of multiple coupling on hygro-thermal stability,coupling,failure strength,buckling load,robustness and other comprehensive mechanical properties of laminates and box structures were analyzed by parametric modeling method.The results show that the extension-twisting coupling of laminate and the bending-twisting coupling of box structures can be greatly improved by 450%and 260%at maximum,respectively.Meanwhile,it would have a negative impact on the failure strength and buckling load,which,however,can be minimized by a reasonable paving method.Multicoupled laminates have good robustness,and the bending-twisting coupling helps improve robustness.Finally,the hygro-thermal stability and mechanical properties were verified by numerical simulation with finite element method.
