The microstructures of A1203 fibers with and without PyC coatings were characterized by SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The influence of deposition time of PyC on the DC conductivity （ad） of A1203 filaments and complex permittivity of fabrics at X band （8.2-12.4 GHz） were investigated. The values of Crd and complex permittivity increase with increasing deposition time of PyC. The electron relaxation polarization and conductance loss were supposed to be contributed to the increase of ε＇ and ε＂, respectively. In addition, the reflection loss （RL） of fabrics was calculated. The results show that the microwave absorbing properties of Al2O3 fiber fabrics can be improved by PyC coatings. The best RL results are for 60 min-deposition sample, of which the minimum value is about -40.4 dB at about 9.5 GHz and the absorbing frequency band （AFB） is about 4 GHz.展开更多

The influences of curing time, the content of free evaporable water in cement paste, environmental temperature, and alternative heating and cooling on the electrical resistance of high content carbon fiber reinforced ...The influences of curing time, the content of free evaporable water in cement paste, environmental temperature, and alternative heating and cooling on the electrical resistance of high content carbon fiber reinforced cement (CFRC) paste are studied by experiments with specimens of Portland cement 42.5 with 10 mm PAN-based carbon fiber and methylcellulose. Experimental results indicate that the electrical resistance of CFRC increases relatively by 24% within a hydration time of 90 d and almost keeps constant after 14 d, changes hardly with the mass loss of free evaporable water in the concrete dried at 50 °C, increases relatively by 4% when ambient temperature decreases from 15 °C to ?20 °C, and decreases relatively by 13% with temperature increasing by 88 °C. It is suggested that the electric resistance of the CFRC is stable, which is testified by the stable power output obtained by electrifying the CFRC slab with a given voltage. This implies that such kind of high content carbon fiber reinforced cement composite is potentially a desirable electrothermal material for airfield runways and road surfaces deicing.展开更多

The TPNR was prepared by mixing NR （natural rubber） with PE （polyethylene） using 2-roll mills before compressed on cotton fibre spun and vulcanized at 150℃. The mechanical properties and morphology of the membrane were investigated using DMTA （dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer） and SEM （scanning electron microscopy）, respectively. The membrane strength was increased from 10 MPa to 18 MPa after reinforced with cotton fibre spun as well as the increasing of dielectric constant. The membrane was immersed in xylene to remove PE phase before characterization of membrane properties.展开更多
