The microstructure and fracture surface were characterized by SEM, the mechanical behavior was investigated by three-point bending test, and the dielectric constant was also measured by impedance analysis. The microstructure showed that the fiber and the matrix had a physical bonding, forming a clearance interface. The mechanical behavior suggested that the porous matrix acted as crack deflection, and the fracture surface had a lot of fiber pull-out. However, the interlaminar shear strength was not so good. The dielectric constant of the composites at room temperature was about 2.8-3.1. The relatively low dielectric constant and non-catastrophic failure indicated the potential application in the radome materials field. 2008 University of Science and Technology Beijing.

An insulation structure based on hybrid heating mode was well designed with the wall of mullite and the aided heaters of SiC. The obtained samples were characterized by XRD analysis, apparent porosity detection, and bending strength measurement. SEM was used to observe the microstructure of the sample. It is found that the porous mullite composite could be prepared through the microwave sintering within 2 h at relatively low temperatures around 1000 ℃. The lasted samples show comparatively superior properties to the products prepared by conventional processing.展开更多

On the study of relation between normal pressure and porosity, experience model of polyimide porous materials was proposed which is similar to the traditional expe- rience model of the metal porous material. While being pressed, polyimide was found soon to come into elasto- plastic deformation progress in this paper, so the theory model of metal porous material based on Hooker's law was not fit for the polymer any more. A new elasto-plastic deformation and exhausting model is proposed which shows better agreement with polymer material's pressing process.展开更多

The experimental results show that the flow stress data are negatively correlated with temperature for temperature softening, and the strain rates sensitivity of this composite increases with elevating temperature. Based on the experimental data, Johnson-Cook, modified Johnson-Cook and Arrhenius constitutive models were established. The accuracy of these three constitutive models was analyzed and compared. The results show that the values predicted by Johnson-Cook model could not agree well with the experimental values. The prediction accuracy of Arrhenius model is higher than that of Johnson-Cook model but lower than that of the Modified Johnson-Cook model.展开更多

The PCC was fabricated by anion-exchange of phosphate on the surface of vaterite-phase calcium carbonate particle scaffolds. The PCC,having dense nanoporous network coverage with large surface area and pore volume, exhibited excellent TC adsorption in solution. Its adsorption isotherm fitted well to the Freundlich model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 118.72 mg/g. The adsorption process was spontaneous, endothermic, and followed pseudo-second-order kinetics. From the XPS analysis, the hydrogen bonding and surface complexation were the key interactions in the process. In addition, a colorimetric TC detection method was developed considering its complexation with phosphate ions, originating from PCC dissolution, during adsorption.The method was used to detect TC in mg/L concentrations in water samples. Thus, the multifunctional PCC exhibited potential for use in TC removal and environmental remediation.展开更多

Heating behavior of the samples was mainly influenced by the volume fraction of stainless steel.Higher heating rate was observed for samples with higher stainless steel fraction.Due to the different microwave absorbability of the materials, stainless steel particle in the porous matrix structure was firstly heated up by microwave and transferred the heat energy throughout the whole sample.Increasing of the fraction of the stainless steel particle in the matrix structure led the better heating;however the strength of the samples decreased.展开更多

ZrC was packed in a typical lamellar mode, and the mosaic structure was formed by the deposition of Zr and Si atoms on the shallow surface of the porous C/C composites.Ablation analysis showed that the defects in the coatings originate from the boundary between the ZrC and holes created by the consumption of SiC at 2500℃. After ablation for 200 s at 3000℃, a dense ZrO2 layer formed on the coating surface, and the defects were sealed owing to the continuous supply of ablative components. The mass and line ablation rates of the Zr C-SiC coatings were-0.46 ± 0.15 mg cm^-2·s^-1 and-1.00± 0.04 μm s^-1, respectively.展开更多

NP-SidCu composites with a three-dimensional porous network nanoarchitecture with different Cu contents are obtained by changing the feeding ratio of alloy precursors. Owing to the rich porosity and integration of conductive Cu into a nanoporous Si backbone, the NP-Si^Cu15 composite exhibits modified conductivity and reduced volumetric expansion/fracture during repeated charging-discharging processes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), thus exhibiting much higher cycling reversibility than NP-Si92Cu8 and pure NP-Si. With the advantages of unique performance and easy preparation, NP-Si/Cu composite has potential for application as an advanced anode material for LIBs.展开更多

The resulting device exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activities toward the oxygen reduction reaction. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements demonstrated that the porous morphology and uniformly dispersed Fe;C nanoparticles of the PCCM play an important role in the oxygen reduction reaction. A linear response range from 2mmol/L up to 110 mmol/L and a detection limit of 1.4 mmol/L was obtained with this sensor. The repeatability of the proposed sensor,evaluated in terms of relative standard deviation, was 3.0%. The successful fabrication of PCCM/GC electrode may promote the development of new porous carbon oxygen reduction reaction material for the oxygen reduction sensor.展开更多

The microstructure and mechanical property of the AZ91/HA composite were studied. The results show that the molten AZ91 alloy completely infiltrated the preform without destroying the porous structure of the HA preform. The compressive strength of AZ91/HA composite increased significantly compared with that of the porous HA. The immersion test indicated that AzgI ahoy shows a lower corrosion resistance and is easier to be corroded in comparison with HA.展开更多

The nBCP with composition of 63/37 (w/w) HA/-TCP (hydroxyapatite/fl-tricalcium phosphate) was produced by heating of bovine bone at 700℃. Composite scaffolds were made by using PLGA matrix and 10-50 wt% nBCP powders as reinforcement material. All scaffolds were prepared by thermally induced solid-liquid phase separation (TIPS) at -60~C under 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) vacuum. The results of elastic modulus testing were adjusted with Ishai-Cohen and Narkis models for rigid polymeric matrix and compared to each other. PLGA/nBCP scaffolds with 30 wt% nBCP showed the highest value of yield strength among the scaffolds. In addition, it was found that by increasing the nBCP in scaffolds to 50 wt%, the modulus of elasticity was highly enhanced. However, the optimum value of yield strength was obtained at 30 wt% nBCP, and the agglomeration of reinforcing particles at higher percentages caused a reduction in yield strength. It is clear that the elastic modulus of matrix has the significant role in elastic modulus of scaffolds, as also the size of the filler particles in the matrix.展开更多

文摘Compressible sensors with highly porous features are ideal candidates for sports and wearable electronics.This study demonstrated for the first time,how the crystalline transformation of poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)influences aerogel formation and also the compressible sensing properties of a graphene composite.In the present study,two feasible synthesis methods are demonstrated for the fabrication of both PVDF/graphene foams and aerogels with high sensitivity.A three-dimensional network of the PVDF/graphene foams and aerogels is prepared by gelation induced crystallization of PVDF/cyclohexanone by adjusting temperature and time.Herein,PVDF/graphene foams and aerogels with density range of 0.11-0.17 g·cm^(-3) were fabricated.The compressive behaviour of PVDF/graphene aerogels was compared with PVDF/graphene foam samples.Incorporation of 20 wt.%graphene in PVDF aerogel improved the compressive strength significantly by 12 times.The electromechanical performance of foams and aerogels shows that the PVDF/20G(G represents graphene)foam sample has high sensitivity of 396.7 kPa^(-1) to the pressure higher than 400 kPa,while PVDF/40G aerogels have a sensitivity value of 3.0×10^(-3) kPa^(-1) in pressure range lower than 500 kPa.The results provide new pathways to fabricate porous composite with lighter density with high mechanical and electrical properties.
文摘Glass/stainless steel porous composite body were prepared by the polyurethane sponge replica method using slurries containing mixture of SiO_2-RO/30 vol%SUS.Sintered porous samples were obtained which consists of well-distributed stainless steel particles within the glass matrix.Such a microstructure is desired for the purpose as a soot particulate filters(DPF)utilizing microwave rapid heating in cold start phase.Heating ability of the fabricated porous composite body was carried out placing the specimen in the maximum H-field of a 2.45 GHz single mode applicator. Heating behavior of the samples was mainly influenced by the volume fraction of stainless steel.Higher heating rate was observed for samples with higher stainless steel fraction.Due to the different microwave absorbability of the materials, stainless steel particle in the porous matrix structure was firstly heated up by microwave and transferred the heat energy throughout the whole sample.Increasing of the fraction of the stainless steel particle in the matrix structure led the better heating;however the strength of the samples decreased.

文摘Mosaic structure ZrC-SiC coatings were fabricated on low-density, porous C/C composites via thermal evaporation and an in-situ method. ZrC was packed in a typical lamellar mode, and the mosaic structure was formed by the deposition of Zr and Si atoms on the shallow surface of the porous C/C composites.Ablation analysis showed that the defects in the coatings originate from the boundary between the ZrC and holes created by the consumption of SiC at 2500℃. After ablation for 200 s at 3000℃, a dense ZrO2 layer formed on the coating surface, and the defects were sealed owing to the continuous supply of ablative components. The mass and line ablation rates of the Zr C-SiC coatings were-0.46 ± 0.15 mg cm^-2·s^-1 and-1.00± 0.04 μm s^-1, respectively.

文摘Nanoporous (NP) Si/Cu composites are fabricated by means of alloy refining followed by facile electroless deaUoying in mild conditions. NP-SidCu composites with a three-dimensional porous network nanoarchitecture with different Cu contents are obtained by changing the feeding ratio of alloy precursors. Owing to the rich porosity and integration of conductive Cu into a nanoporous Si backbone, the NP-Si^Cu15 composite exhibits modified conductivity and reduced volumetric expansion/fracture during repeated charging-discharging processes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), thus exhibiting much higher cycling reversibility than NP-Si92Cu8 and pure NP-Si. With the advantages of unique performance and easy preparation, NP-Si/Cu composite has potential for application as an advanced anode material for LIBs.

文摘The development of a simple, efficient and sensitive sensor for dissolved oxygen is proposed using a novel type of porous carbon composite membrane/glassy carbon electrode based on the low-cost common filter paper by a simple method. The resulting device exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activities toward the oxygen reduction reaction. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements demonstrated that the porous morphology and uniformly dispersed Fe;C nanoparticles of the PCCM play an important role in the oxygen reduction reaction. A linear response range from 2mmol/L up to 110 mmol/L and a detection limit of 1.4 mmol/L was obtained with this sensor. The repeatability of the proposed sensor,evaluated in terms of relative standard deviation, was 3.0%. The successful fabrication of PCCM/GC electrode may promote the development of new porous carbon oxygen reduction reaction material for the oxygen reduction sensor.

文摘AZ91/HA composite was prepared by AZ91 magnesium alloy and porous HA using squeeze casting method. The microstructure and mechanical property of the AZ91/HA composite were studied. The results show that the molten AZ91 alloy completely infiltrated the preform without destroying the porous structure of the HA preform. The compressive strength of AZ91/HA composite increased significantly compared with that of the porous HA. The immersion test indicated that AzgI ahoy shows a lower corrosion resistance and is easier to be corroded in comparison with HA.

文摘In this paper, preparation of nano-biphasic calcium phosphate (nBCP), mechanical behavior and load-bearing of poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and PLGA/nBCP are presented. The nBCP with composition of 63/37 (w/w) HA/-TCP (hydroxyapatite/fl-tricalcium phosphate) was produced by heating of bovine bone at 700℃. Composite scaffolds were made by using PLGA matrix and 10-50 wt% nBCP powders as reinforcement material. All scaffolds were prepared by thermally induced solid-liquid phase separation (TIPS) at -60~C under 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) vacuum. The results of elastic modulus testing were adjusted with Ishai-Cohen and Narkis models for rigid polymeric matrix and compared to each other. PLGA/nBCP scaffolds with 30 wt% nBCP showed the highest value of yield strength among the scaffolds. In addition, it was found that by increasing the nBCP in scaffolds to 50 wt%, the modulus of elasticity was highly enhanced. However, the optimum value of yield strength was obtained at 30 wt% nBCP, and the agglomeration of reinforcing particles at higher percentages caused a reduction in yield strength. It is clear that the elastic modulus of matrix has the significant role in elastic modulus of scaffolds, as also the size of the filler particles in the matrix.

文摘Biodegradable polymer scaffolds combined with bioactive components which accelerate osteogenesis and angiogenesis have promise for use in clinical bone defect repair.The preclinical acute toxicity evaluation is an essential assay of implantable biomaterials to assess the biosafety for accelerating clinical translation.We have successfully developed magnesium(Mg)particles and beta-tricalcium phosphate(β-TCP)for incorporation into poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA)porous composite scaffolds(PTM)using low-temperature rapid prototyping three-dimensional-printing technology.The PTM scaffolds have been fully evaluated and found to exhibit excellent osteogenic capacity for bone defect repair.The preclinical evaluation of acute systemic toxicities is essential and important for development of porous scaffolds to facilitate their clinical translation.In this study,acute systemic toxicity of the PTM scaffolds was evaluated in mice by intraperitoneal injection of the extract solutions of the scaffolds.PTM composite scaffolds with different Mg andβ-TCP content(denoted as PT5M,PT10M,and PT15M)were extracted with different tissue culture media,including normal saline,phosphate-buffered saline,and serum-free minimum essential medium,to create the extract solutions.The evaluation was carried out following the National Standard.The acute toxicity was fully evaluated through the collection of extensive data,including serum/organs ion concentration,fluorescence staining,and in vivo median lethal dose measurement.Mg in major organs(heart,liver,and lung),and Mg ion concentrations in serum of mice,after intraperitoneal injection of the extract solutions,were measured and showed that the extract solutions of PT15M caused significant elevation of serum Mg ion concentrations,which exceeded the safety threshold and led to the death of the mice.In contrast,the extract solutions of PT5M and PT10M scaffolds did not cause the death of the injected mice.The median lethal dose of Mg ions in vivo for mice was determined for the first time in this study to be 110.66 mg/kg,and the safety level of serum magnesium toxicity in mice is 5.4 mM,while the calcium serum safety level is determined as 3.4 mM.The study was approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology,Chinese Academy of Sciences(approval No.SIAT-IRB-170401-YGS-LYX-A0346)on April 5,2017.All these results showed that the Mg ion concentration of intraperitoneally-injected extract solutions was a determinant of mouse survival,and a high Mg ion concentration(more than 240 mM)was the pivotal factor contributing to the death of the mice,while changes in pH value showed a negligible effect.The comprehensive acute systemic toxicity evaluation for PTM porous composite scaffolds in this study provided a reference to guide the design and optimization of this composite scaffold and the results demonstrated the preclinical safety of the as-fabricated PTM scaffold with appropriate Mg content,strongly supporting the official registration process of the PTM scaffold as a medical device for clinical translation.
