Different GSI temperatures(1900 ℃ and 2100 ℃) were selected. The combination of PIP and GSI could significantly reduce the preparation time of the composites. The morphology displaying a rich-Si layer was formed on the surface of the composites prepared at GSI 2100 ℃. Ablation performance of the composites was investigated by oxyacetylene torch. The results showed that after ablation for 120 s, compared to the composites prepared by PIP + 1900 ℃ GSI, the linear and mass ablation rates of the composites fabricated by PIP + 2100 ℃ GSI were decreased from 8.05 μm/s to 5.06 μm/s and from 1.61 mg/s to 1.03 mg/s, respectively. The coverage of the rich-Si surface layer promoted the generation of more SiO_(2) during ablation, which not only benefited for decreasing the surface temperature but also contributed to the formation of H-Si-O glass and the HfO_(2) skeleton, thus better resisting the denudation of the oxyacetylene torch.展开更多

文摘The development of advanced aircraft relies on high performance thermal-structural materials,and carbon/carbon com-posites(C/C)composited with ultrahigh-temperature ceramics are ideal candidates.However,the traditional routes of compositing are either inefficient and expensive or lead to a non-uniform distribution of ceramics in the matrix.Compared with the traditional C/C-ZrC-SiC composites prepared by the reactive melt infiltration of ZrSi_(2),C/C-ZrB_(2)-ZrC-SiC composites prepared by the vacuum infiltration of ZrB_(2) combined with reactive melt infiltration have the higher content and more uniform distribution of the introduced ceramic phases.The mass and linear ablation rates of the C/C-ZrB_(2)-ZrC-SiC composites were respectively 68.9%and 29.7%lower than those of C/C-ZrC-SiC composites prepared by reactive melt infiltration.The ablation performance was improved because the volatilization of B_(2)O_(3),removes some of the heat,and the more uniformly distributed ZrO_(2),that helps produce a ZrO2-SiO2 continu-ous protective layer,hinders oxygen infiltration and decreases ablation.

文摘Carbon fiber reinforced dual-matrix composites(CHM)including carbon fiber reinforced hydroxyapatite-polymer matrix composites(CHMP)and carbon fiber reinforced hydroxyapatite-pyrolytic carbon matrix composites(CHMC)have great potential application in the field of artificial hip joints,where a combination of high mechanical strength and excellent biotribological property are required.In this work,the graphene-silicon nitride nanowires(Graphene-Si_(3)N_(4)nws)interlocking interfacial enhancement were designed and constructed into CHM for boosting the mechanical and biotribological properties.The graphene and Si_(3)N_(4)nws interact with each other and construct interlocking interfacial enhancement.Benefiting from the Graphene-Si_(3)N_(4)nws synergistic effect and interlocking enhancement mechanism,the mechanical and biotribological properties of CHM were promoted.Compared with CHMP,the shear and compressive strengths of Graphene-Si_(3)N_(4)nws reinforced CHMP were increased by 80.0% and 61.5%,respectively.The friction coefficient and wear rate were reduced by 52.8% and 52.9%,respectively.Compared with CHMC,the shear and compressive strengths of Graphene-Si_(3)N_(4)nws reinforced CHMC were increased by 145.4% and 64.2%.The friction coefficient and wear rate were decreased by 52.3% and 73.6%.Our work provides a promising methodology for preparing Graphene-Si_(3)N_(4)nws reinforced CHM with more reliable mechanical and biotribological properties for use in artificial hip joints.

文摘Ice nucleation and accretion on structural surfaces are sources of major safety and operational concerns in many industries including aviation and renewable energy.Common methods for tackling these are active ones such as heating,ultrasound,and chemicals or passive ones such as surface coatings.In this study,we explored the ice adhesion properties of slippery coated substrates by measuring the shear forces required to remove a glaze ice block on the coated substrates.Among the studied nanostructured and nanoscale surfaces[i.e.,a superhydrophobic coating,a fluoropolymer coating,and a polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)chain coating],the slippery omniphobic covalently attached liquid(SOCAL)surface with its flexible polymer brushes and liquid-like structure significantly reduced the ice adhesion on both glass and silicon surfaces.Further studies of the SOCAL coating on roughened substrates also demonstrated its low ice adhesion.The reduction in ice adhesion is attributed to the flexible nature of the brush-like structures of PDMS chains,allowing ice to detach easily.

文摘Graphene nanoplates(GNPs)and carbon nanotubes(CNTs)can construct efficient thermal flux channels in composites,which is becoming one of the effective methods to improve thermal conductivity(TC)of composites.In this paper,an emerging class of GNPs&MWCNTs preform with 3D orientated structures were prepared by using electrostatic self-assembly and directional freeze-drying methods,and then fabricated the GNPs&MWCNTs reinforced AZ91D magnesium(GNPs&MWCNTs/AZ91D)composites by squeeze casting process.To ensure the well preparation of the composites,the GNPs&MWCNTs preforms need to possess enough compression strength to withstand squeezing pressure.Therefore,the effects of the electrostatic self-assembly process,directional freeze drying process and thermal reduction process on the compression strength of 3D structure GNPs&MWCNTs preforms were studied.The compression strength of GNPs&MWCNTs preforms were well improved to 98 KPa,which were used for the fabrication of AZ91D matrix composites.The TC of 0.5 wt.%(1:1)GNPs&MWCNTs/AZ91D composites reached 71.7 W/(m·K)in the freezing direction,which was 41.8%higher than that(50.6 W/(m·K))of the AZ91D alloy.This work provides a novel method for preparing GNPs&MWCNTs/AZ91D composites with improved TCs.

文摘Extensive attention has been drawn to the development of carbon fiber composites for their application in brake disks due to the increasing demand for brake disks with high mechanical strength and better tribological properties.Herein,we design SiC hexagonal nanopyramids modified carbon/carbon(SiCNPsC/C)composites,in which SiCNPs are radially grafted on the carbon fibers by the combined sol-gel and carbothermal reduction method,and pyrolytic carbon(Py C)matrix is deposited on nucleation sites including carbon fibers and SiCNPs by isothermal chemical vapor infiltration(ICVI).Benefiting from the special structure,SiCNPs-C/C composites exhibit superior mechanical and frictional performance.Compared with C/C composites,SiCNPs-C/C composites have 147%,90.3%,70.6%,and 117.9%improvement in the hardness,interlaminar shear strength,and out-of-plane and in-plane compressive strength,respectively,which is attributed to the optimized fiber/matrix(F/M)interfaces bonding and the enhanced cohesion strength of Py C matrix.In addition,the friction coefficient of SiCNPs-C/C composites increases by 25.5%,and the wear rate decreases by 38.0%.This work provides an optional design thought for the nanomaterials and enlightens the mechanical and frictional modification of composites in the field of the brakes.

文摘Carbon/carbon composites with higher mechanical strength and better reliability at elevated tempera-tures are urgently needed to satisfy the practical applications requirements.SiC nanowires(SiCNWs)modified C/C(SC-CC)composites have attracted an abundance of attention for their excellent mechanical performance.To further boost the mechanical strengths of composites and maximize the reinforcing efficiency of SiCNWs,we introduce orthogonally structured graphene nanosheets(OGNs)into SC-CC composites,in which OGNs are grafted on the SiCNWs via chemical vapor deposition(CVD)method,forming SC-G-CC composites.Benefiting from the nano-interface effects,uniform stress distribution,strong SiCNWs/PyC interfacial bonding and elevated stress propagation efficiency in the PyC matrix are achieved,thus SC-G-CC composites accomplish brilliant mechanical properties before and after 1,600℃ heat treatment.As temperature rises to 2,100℃,SiCNWs lose efficacy,whereas OGNs with excellent thermal stability continue to play the nano-interface role in the PyC matrix.Therefore,SC-G-CC com-posites show better mechanical performance after 2,100℃ heat treatment,and the mechanical strength retention rate(MSR)of interlaminar shear strength,out-of-plane and in-plane compressive strength of SC-G-CC composites reach 61.0%,55.7%and 55.3%,respectively.This work proposes an alternative thought for maximizing the potentiality of nanomaterials and edifies the mechanical modification of composites.

文摘For the inadequate interlaminar strength of 2D carbon/carbon(C/C)composite,in-situ grown carbon nanotubes(CNTs)reinforcing strategy was put forward to strengthen the interlaminar matrix at the nanoscale and inhibit the interlaminar cracking.CNT morphology is an essential factor in influencing the enhancement effect.Herein,the influence of in-situ grown CNT morphology on the microstructure and mechanical properties of C/C composite was deeply studied.The radially-aligned straight CNTs could induce the formation of highly-ordered pyrolytic carbon(PyC),while PyC in randomly-distributed curved CNTs concentrated area exhibits an isotropic structure.Further,radially-aligned straight CNTs show better improvement on the flexural and shear strength of C/C composites.According to the fine structural characterization and finite element simulation,the influence mechanism of CNT morphology was revealed.CNT morphology can influence the stress distribution in the PyC protective layer,and compared with radially-aligned straight CNTs,randomly-distributed curved CNTs induce higher tensile stress in the PyC protective layer,which has a detrimental impact on the flexural and shear properties of C/C com-posite.This work provides novel insights into the effect of CNT morphology on the microstructure and mechanical properties of C/C composites,which gives a basis for the structural design and preparation of CNTs reinforced C/C composites.

文摘One of the significant technological challenges in safeguarding electronic devices pertains to the modulation of electromagnetic(EM)wave jamming and the recycling of defensive shields.The synergistic effect of heterodimensional materials can effectively enable the manipulation of EM waves by altering the nanostructure.Here we propose a novel approach for upcycling by-products of silver nanowires that can fabricate shape-tunable aerogels which enable the modulation of its interaction with microwaves by heterodimensional structure of byproducts.By-product heterodimensionality was used to design EM-wave-jamming-dissipation structures and therefore two typical tunable aerogel forms were studied.The first tunable form was aerogel film,which shielded EM interference(EMI shielding effectiveness(EMI SE)>89 dB)and the second tunable form was foam,which performed dual EM functions(SE>30 dB&reflective loss(RL)<-35 dB,effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)>6.7 GHz).We show that secondary recycled aerogels retain nearly all of their EM protection properties,making this type of closed-loop cycle an appealing option.Our findings pave the way for the development of adaptive EM functions with nanoscale regulation in a green and closed-loop cycle,and they shed light on the fundamental understanding of microwave interactions with heterodimensional structures.

文摘Carbon/carbon(C/C)composites have been acknowledged as potential candidates in aerospace vehicles,but their oxygen sensitivity still remains an enormous challenge.In this work,a novel multilayer coating consisted of HfC-2.5 mol.%Hf_(6)Ta_(2)O_(17),HfC-40 mol.%SiC,HfC-2.5 mol.%Hf_(6)Ta_(2)O_(17) and HfC-60 mol.%SiC sublayers from surface to inside was designed and fabricated on the surface of C/C composites with sharp leading edge by plasma spraying.Its ablation resistance was assessed using oxyacetylene torch with a maximum temperature over 2300℃ and compared with monolayered coatings.The multilayer coating revealed preferable ablation retardation capacity evidenced by its integrated profile and less flaw quantity.Such benefits were primarily stemmed from the effective structural design and rational material selection.The former was able to reduce the thermal stress within the ablated scale,the latter contributed to rising the high-temperature resistance and oxygen barrier ability of the coating.

文摘To improve the uniformity and the content of HfBin Hf B-Si-based ceramic coating and alleviate the damage of substrate,and then enhance the high-temperature(1700°C)oxidation and cyclic ablation resistances of carbon/carbon composites,a close-knit double layer HfB_(2)-SiC/SiC coatings with a mosaic structure and high content of HfBwere prepared by a novel dipping-carbonization assisted pack cementation methods(DPC–HS/S).In contrast,a HfB_(2)-SiC/SiC coatings were also fabricated by pack cementation(PC–HS/S).Results revealed that the oxidation and ablation protective performances of the DPC–HS/S coatings were superior to those of PC–HS/S coatings.After 30 thermal cycles between 1500°C and room temperature,the mass gain of the coated sample was 0.78%,and the mass loss was 1.65%after oxidation at 1700°C for 156 h.Moreover,under an oxyacetylene torch ablation for 180 s(3 cycles),the linear ablation rate of the DPC–HS/S coated specimen was 1.62μm/s,which was much lower than that of PC–HS/S coated specimen(3.08μm/s).

文摘Carbon fiber(C_(f))reinforced pyrolytic carbon(PyC)composites simultaneously possessing robust mechanical strength,excellent friction performances and outstanding anti-ablation properties are demanded for advanced aerospace applications.Efficient architecture design and optimization of composites are promi-nent yet remain high challenging for realizing the above requirements.Herein,binary reinforcements of networked silicon nitride nanowires(Si_(3)N_(4) nws)and interconnected graphene(GE)have been successfully constructed into C f/PyC by precursor impregnation-pyrolysis and chemical vapor deposition.Notably,net-worked Si_(3)N_(4) nws are uniformly distributed among the carbon fibers,while interconnected GE is firmly rooted on the surface of both networked Si_(3)N_(4) nws and carbon fibers.In the networked Si_(3)N_(4) nws and interconnected GE reinforced C_(f)/PyC,networked Si_(3)N_(4) nws significantly boost the cohesion strength of PyC,while GE markedly improves the interface bonding of both Si_(3)N_(4) nws/PyC and fiber/PyC.Benefiting from the synergistic reinforcement effect of networked Si_(3)N_(4) nws and interconnected GE,the C_(f)/PyC have a prominent enhancement in mechanical(shear and compressive strengths increased by 119.9% and 52.84%,respectively)and friction(friction coefficient and wear rate reduced by 25.40% and 60.10%,respectively)as well as anti-ablation(mass ablation rate and linear ablation rate decreased by 71.25% and 63.01%,respectively).This present strategy for networked Si_(3)N_(4) nws and interconnected GE reinforced C_(f)/PyC provides a dominant route to produce mechanically robust,frictionally resisting and ablatively resistant materials for use in advanced aerospace applications.

文摘As an alternative to short fibers,non-woven fabrics(NWFs)were made using different types of long fibers to optimize the performance of paper-based friction materials and their technology.In this investigation,the fillers and resin were impregnated into these NWFs to prepare three kinds of wet friction material.The tribological,mechanical,and thermal properties of the new wet friction material were studied.The results indicate that the dynamic friction coefficient of the new friction material is approximately 0.12 and the static friction coefficient is approximately 0.15;the better wear rate is 0.81334×10^(-14)m^(3)·(N·m)^(-1).In addition,the temperature for 10%mass loss yielded 100°C enhancement and the tensile strength was improved by 200%,compared to previously reported values.Most importantly,the advantages include a simple preparation flow,low cost,and resource conservation.This is a promising approach for the future development of paper-based friction materials.

文摘C/C-SiC-HfC composites were fabricated by using Precursor Infiltration and Pyrolysis(PIP) combined with Gaseous Silicon Infiltration(GSI) process. Different GSI temperatures(1900 ℃ and 2100 ℃) were selected. The combination of PIP and GSI could significantly reduce the preparation time of the composites. The morphology displaying a rich-Si layer was formed on the surface of the composites prepared at GSI 2100 ℃. Ablation performance of the composites was investigated by oxyacetylene torch. The results showed that after ablation for 120 s, compared to the composites prepared by PIP + 1900 ℃ GSI, the linear and mass ablation rates of the composites fabricated by PIP + 2100 ℃ GSI were decreased from 8.05 μm/s to 5.06 μm/s and from 1.61 mg/s to 1.03 mg/s, respectively. The coverage of the rich-Si surface layer promoted the generation of more SiO_(2) during ablation, which not only benefited for decreasing the surface temperature but also contributed to the formation of H-Si-O glass and the HfO_(2) skeleton, thus better resisting the denudation of the oxyacetylene torch.

文摘Polymer-derived ceramics(PDCs)pyrolyzed at high temperatures are promising electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption materials for aerodynamically heated parts of aircraft under harsh environments.Nev-ertheless,high-temperature pyrolysis results in a significant increase of electrical and dielectric proper-ties of the ceramics,causing extensive reflection of EMW.To address this challenge,boron nitride-coated carbon nanotubes(BN@CNTs)were fabricated and introduced into polymer-derived SiC(PDC-SiC)by py-rolyzing its precursor higher than 1200℃to form SiC-BN@CNT ceramic composites.The fabricated com-posites with 3 wt.%BN@CNTs pyrolyzed at 1200℃have an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 4.2 GHz(8.2-12.4 GHz)at a thickness of 3.4 mm and the minimum reflection loss(RL min)of-57.20 dB.The ultra-broad EAB of 12.62 GHz(5.38-18 GHz)is obtained by simulation through periodic structure design-ing.The RL of the metamaterials was also measured using an arch testing method at a frequency range of 2-18 GHz and an EAB of 11.52 GHz(6.48-18 GHz)is obtained.The excellent absorption is attributed to the BN layer that limits the electrical conduction of the ceramic composites while retaining the high loss of CNTs.The introduction of BN@CNTs causes the refinement of SiC grains,which provides plenty of interfaces and enhances the interface polarization loss.This work successfully solves the problem that PDCs pyrolyzed at elevated temperatures cannot be used as EMW absorption materials by applying BN coating on CNTs served as absorbers for PDC-SiC.The results of this work greatly broaden the application scope of the PDC systems for EMW absorption.

文摘Paper-based friction materials are porous materials that exhibit anisotropy;they exhibit random pore sizes and quantities during their preparation,thereby rendering the control of their pore structure difficult.Composites with different pore structures are obtained by introducing chemical foaming technology during their preparation to regulate their pore structure and investigate the effect of pore structure on the properties of paper-based friction materials.The results indicate that the skeleton density,total pore area,average pore diameter,and porosity of the materials increase after chemical foaming treatment,showing a more open pore structure.The addition of an organic chemical foaming agent improves the curing degree of the matrix significantly.Consequently,the thermal stability of the materials improves significantly,and the hardness and elastic modulus of the matrix increase by 73.7%and 49.4%,respectively.The dynamic friction coefficient increases and the wear rate is reduced considerably after optimizing the pore structure.The wear rate,in particular,decreases by 47.7%from 2.83×10^(−8) to 1.48×10^(−8)cm^(3)/J as the foaming agent content increases.Most importantly,this study provides an effective method to regulate the pore structure of wet friction materials,which is conducive to achieving the desired tribological properties.

文摘Polysiloxane(PSO)was adopted as the matrix of the repair agents,and SiCeZrB_(2)powder was used as the filler,to repair the prefabricated defects on the SiCeZrB_(2)/SiC(SZS)coating of carbon/carbon(C/C)composites.The repair agents were brushed on the defect areas and then underwent preoxidation(PR)or heat-treatment(HR)in a vacuum.The effects of different treatment processes on the chemical composition,microstructure of the repair agents,and the oxidation resistance behavior of the repaired coating were investigated.The repaired agents after both processes were pyrolyzed and generated SiOC ceramics,and they were well combined with the original coating.The thermal stability of PSO after preoxidation is poorer than that after heat-treatment,resulting in a weight loss rate of 5.88%after oxidation at 1500℃for 270 min,while that of the HR coating is only-0.87%,yet both have been great improvement compared with the unrepaired coating.This work provides an effective and simple approach to repairing damaged coatings for high-temperature applications.

文摘A SiC_(nws)/HfC-SiC coating was fabricated by a two-step chemical vapor deposition.After introducing SiC nanowires,the fracture toughness of HfC-SiC coating increases by 228%.After ablation under oxyacetylene torch for 60s,a bone-like HfO_(2) reticular structure was formed in the central ablation area.Interestingly,a novel Hf-Si-O wire-drawing phenomenon was happened in the transition area of ablated SiC_(nws)/HfC-SiC coating,providing a new toughness mechanism under ablation environment.Moreover,HfO_(2) precipitated from Hf-Si-O glass wires to generate nanocrystalline grains during ablation,which explains the formation of bone-like HfO_(2) reticular structure observed from central ablation area.
