Flexible and antistatic carbon fiber/silicone rubber composite coating with improved thermal stability, mechanical and wave-transmission properties

The properties of the interface have a significant impact on the application of silicone rubber (SR) composite coating fillers with carbon fiber (CF). The one-step growth of silica nanoparticles on the fiber surface was investigated in terms of the mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of the CF/SR composite coatings. The results showed that the tensile strength and elongation of the composite with modified fibers were 7.13 ± 0.44 MPa and 690.40 ± 37.04 %, which were 20.44 % and 23.22 % higher than those with unmodified CFs, respectively. The improvement in interfacial adhesion by silica modification effectively disperses stress and avoids stress concentration. Additionally, the introduction of the low-dielectric material SiO2 and the reduction of the interfacial polarization enhanced the wave-transmission properties and weakened the electromagnetic wave-shielding properties of the composites. Meanwhile, the silica modification maintained the antistatic properties of the coatings at room and high temperatures, as well as before and after bending. The weight loss of the composites with modified fibers was lower than that of the composites with unmodified fibers, while the thermal conductivity was higher because of the stable structure of the Si-O-Si bonds and interfacial adhesion. This work provides a simple way to enhance the thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, mechanical and wave-transmission properties, and preserve the antistatic properties as well as the flexibility of CF/SR composite coatings.

Preparation of a MIL-125/MoS2/SiO2 Ternary Nanohybrid and Its Smart Electrorheological Behavior.

In this work, a kind of ternary hybrid material, MIL-125/MoS2/SiO2, was prepared by a solvothermal and Stöber method. In this system, MIL-125, as the matrix material, not only furnishes a large specific surface area for MIL-125/MoS2/SiO2, thereby providing a basis for stronger interfacial polarization, but also effectively enhances the antisettlement ability of the electrorheological fluids (ERFs). Different characterizations, such as scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, XRD, XPS, FT-IR, BET, electron mapping, etc., were used to analyze the ternary nanohybrid. The ERFs prepared by combining the different advantages of the three materials in the hybrid system were studied by a HAAKE high-speed rotary rheometer. In addition, the combination of MoS2 and SiO2 provides suitable electrical conductivity and dielectric properties for the system to promote the generation of interface polarization, ensuring that the entire system exhibits stronger electrorheological behavior without electrical breakdown and thus obtains higher shear stress.

Improvement of thermal conductivity properties of epoxy resin by constructing “sesame cookie”‐like nanodiamond‐boron nitride

AbstractThe development of epoxy resin (EP) potting material with high thermal conductivity (TC) and excellent electrical insulating properties plays an important role in the development of drive motors to high specific power and high voltage. In this study, a simple preparation method is presented to solve the problem of low content filler settling and low TC of EP. Firstly, small‐sized perfluoroalkyltrimethoxysilane surface‐treated nanodiamond (ND) and large‐sized hydroxylated boron nitride (BN) were adsorbed together using hydrogen bonding to construct “Sesame Cookie”‐like structures. The heterostructure filler with different “sesame” contents were obtained by modulating the ND:BN ratio, and were filled into high‐temperature resistant AG70 EP at a fixed mass ratio of 20 wt.%. By surface treatment, the dispersibility of fillers in EP was improved, and the settling problem of low content fillers was solved. Finally, when the ratio of ND: BN is 1:2, the TC value of EP composite reached 0.94 W·m−1·K−1, which was 348% higher than pure EP, and the composite possessed good electrical insulating properties. In addition, the heat‐resistance temperature of the composite exceeded 200°C, which ensured the stable operation of the drive motor. This study presents new ideas for the exploitation of EP potting materials with high TC and excellent electrical insulating properties.Highlights Heterostructure filler is constructed using hydrogen bonding. Dispersion of the filler in the EP is improved by surface treatment. The TC value of the EP composite increased by 348%. The heat‐resistant temperature of the EP composite is more than 200°C. The EP composite has excellent insulating properties.

Self-healing and degradable functionalization of EVA hot-melt adhesives based on disulfide bonds and polymer free radical copolymerization

This study aims to provide a new approach for the industrialization of self-healing adhesive or membrane materials. EVA hot melt adhesive has a market share of over 50 %, and it needs to be cured during use. It is a thermosetting resin that is difficult to recycle and reuse. In response to the defects mentioned above, we developed a self-healing and degradable EVA-based hot-melt adhesives (EDS) based on disulfide bonds and polymer free radical copolymerization. Specifically, we used divinyl disulfide as a crosslinking agent. Under the action of a peroxide initiator, disulfide and EVA formed a cross-linked network through free radical copolymerization. In the study, we characterized the Functionality and comprehensive performance of EDS using various testing methods such as FT-IR, DSC, and SEM. The research results indicate that EDS achieves self-healing and degradation by utilizing the rearrangement reaction of disulfide bonds under ultraviolet light and its reducibility under strong alkaline conditions. While maintaining the same electrical insulation performance, the barrier performance, thermal conductivity, aging resistance, and mechanical properties of EDS have all been improved. Meanwhile, we discussed the self-healing mechanism, curing kinetics, degradation mechanism, and aging mechanism of EDS.

Fully Physically Crosslinked Hydrogel with Ultrastretchability, Transparency, and Freezing-Tolerant Properties for Strain Sensor.

Nowadays, conductive hydrogels show significant prospects as strain sensors due to their good stretchability and signal transduction abilities. However, traditional hydrogels possess poor anti-freezing performance at low temperatures owing to the large number of water molecules, which limits their application scope. To date, constructing a hydrogel-based sensor with balanced stretchability, conductivity, transparency, and anti-freezing properties via simple methods has proven challenging. Here, a fully physically crosslinked poly(hydroxyethyl acrylamide)-glycerol-sodium chloride (PHEAA-Gl-NaCl) hydrogel was obtained by polymerizing hydroxyethyl acrylamide in deionized water and then soaking it in a saturated NaCl solution of glycerol and water. The PHEAA-Gl-NaCl hydrogel had good transparency (~93%), stretchability (~1300%), and fracture stress (~287 kPa). Owing to the presence of glycerol and sodium chloride, the PHEAA-Gl-NaCl hydrogel had good anti-freezing properties and conductivity. Furthermore, the PHEAA-Gl-NaCl hydrogel-based strain sensor possessed good sensitivity and cyclic stability, enabling the detection of different human motions stably and in a wide temperature range. Based on the above characteristics, the PHEAA-Gl-NaCl hydrogel has broad application prospects in flexible electronic materials.

Influence of Different Filler Systems on the Thermal Conductivity and Mechanical Properties of Thermosets.

The changing demands in terms of the compactness and performance of electronic devices increase the role of thermal management within this application field. Because polymers and especially thermosets have a low thermal conductivity, filler systems have to be used to improve their performance and make thermosets suitable for applications. So far, several factors influencing thermal conductivity have been defined; however, the combined investigation of mechanical properties as another important value in terms of applications has not been realized. Therefore, this paper analyzes thermal conductivity based on the orientation of fillers and a contact path as well as mechanical properties in different material systems. In addition to the matrix material, the filler type and grade and the geometry and size were varied. It was shown that boron nitride provides the best values in terms of thermal conductivity after orientation along the flow path is realized. An aluminum silicate was defined as the best filler system in terms of mechanical properties. However, the boron nitride was found to reveal the greatest potential in terms of applications, since the mechanical properties are likely to be increased by the usage of finishing additives such as silane.

Balancing stretchability and conductivity: Carbon nanotube layer-enhanced non-ionic conductive hydrogels with a sandwich structure

In non-ionic conductive hydrogels, conductivity often conflicts with mechanical properties, posing a challenge in creating hydrogels that strike a balance between conductivity and mechanical properties. Here, we addressed this issue by integrating carboxylated carbon nanotube (CNT) layers in a sandwich structure onto the surface of the cationic hydrogel (P(AM-co-DMDAAC), PAD), followed by dehydration for densification. This approach simultaneously improved the conductivity of the hydrogel while maintaining its stretchability. The stability of the composite structure was ensured through electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and physical entanglement between the PAD hydrogel and the CNT layer. Additionally, adjusting the water–solid ratio of the hydrogel allows fine-tuning of its conductivity and stretchability. Remarkably, at a 500 % water–solid ratio, the hydrogel achieved a conductivity of 2.3 S/m. By further reducing the water content, the conductivity could be increased to 25 S/m, significantly higher than similar hydrogels. The PAD-CNT hydrogel found applications in swelling response, tunable resistance wires, and as strain sensors. Notably, the sandwich structure enables the PAD-CNT hydrogel to output capacitive signals, exhibiting a more sensitive response in monitoring human movement. Overall, this study introduces a novel composite structure for conductive hydrogels, holding tremendous potential in flexible conductivity and smart response fields.

Synergistic effect of ceramic filler in polymer salt complex for improved ion dissociation and migration mechanism

Abstract Use of Ceramic filler is one of the most common approaches to improve the conductivity and stability properties of a solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) cum separator. Among them, active fillers like Garnet have been extensively used to enhance the stability and conductivity of SPE. However, SPE suffers from limited ion migration at room temperature acting as a bottleneck for their application in all solid-state batteries. An extensive study on these fillers' role in ion dissociation and migration can be a stepping stone for advanced SPE. In the present work, an FTIR analysis has primarily been used to identify and evaluate cation coordinate site-cation, and ion pair interactions in a Li6.5La3Zr1.75Te0.25O12 loaded polyethylene oxide-LiCF3SO3 matrix with varying ceramic concentrations. Further, the Trukhan model has been used to calculate diffusion coefficient, mobility, and charge carrier density to interpret relaxation parameters, conductivity, and FTIR results in the SPE samples. Finally, an ion migration model has been proposed based on the results obtained in experimental studies.

First-principles calculations of the elastic anisotropy, thermal conductivity, and optical properties of MAX-phase M2AlC (M = V, Nb, Ta) series carbides

Materials from the MAX phase, such as the M2AlC (M = V, Nb, Ta) series carbides, exhibit superior mechanical, electronic, and thermodynamic properties, making them highly promising for research. Density functional theory (DFT) has been employed to study the elastic anisotropy, thermal conductivity, electronic, and optical properties of these carbides. The results indicate that the formation enthalpies of the M2AlC (M = V, Nb, Ta) series are negative and the phonon spectra do not exhibit imaginary frequencies, confirming the thermodynamic and dynamic stability of these carbides. Additionally, the calculated Poisson's ratios and B/G ratios suggest that these materials are brittle and contain covalent and ionic bonds—a conclusion further corroborated by analyses of electronic structures. The elastic anisotropy is illustrated through anisotropy indices, three-dimensional (3D) surface configurations, and two-dimensional (2D) projections, with the sequence of anisotropy being: Nb2AlC > Ta2AlC > V2AlC. Further investigations into the sound velocities, Debye temperature, anisotropy of sound velocity, thermal conductivity, and optical properties of the M2AlC (M = V, Nb, Ta) series provide substantial theoretical support for the research on MAX phase M2AlC (M = V, Nb, Ta) series carbides.

A closed-form solution for thermally induced affine deformation in unbounded domains with a temporally accelerated anomalous thermal conductivity

Abstract One of the successful mathematical tools in the 21st century is the distributed-order fractional derivative, particularly, the bi-fractional diffusion equation of natural form (Chechkin, Gorenflo, and Sokolov, Phys. Rev. E 2002) and the bi-fractional diffusion equation of the modified form (Sokolov, Chechkin, and Klafter, Acta Phys. Pol. B 2004). The present study adopts the bi-fractional diffusion heat equation of the modified form that uses two Riemann-Liouville time-fractional derivatives with different fractional orders and the Riesz space-fractional derivative, and bears the property of variable thermal conductivity with temporal acceleration; i.e., the material thermal conduction transits from a low value at the small values of time ($t\to 0$) to a larger value at the long-time domain ($t\to \infty$). The corresponding fractional thermoelasticity theory, that uses the bi-fractional diffusion heat equation of the modified form, is exclusively considered in this work. For a quasi-static unbounded Hookean domain, exact solutions for the temperature, hydrostatic stress, and the displacement fields are derived in both short-time and long-time domains, in terms of the Fox \textit{H}-function. The exact solutions for the linearized problem are derived using the inversion of problem variables from the Laplace-Fourier space. Adding a zero initial condition on the normal stress of the unbounded space transforms the conventional Cauchy problem to a mixed initial-boundary value problem in order to derive a generalized form of the displacement. Additionally, thermal energy is not conserved in the presence of space fractality. The effect of such an accelerating transition in the thermal conduction on the displacement component is focused on, and it is found that the displacement inherits a similar transition behavior.

Applying a Comprehensive Model for Single-Ring Infiltration: Assessment of Temporal Changes in Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity and Physical Soil Properties

Modeling agricultural systems, from the point of view of saving and optimizing water, is a challenging task, because it may require multiple soil physical and hydraulic measurements to investigate the entire crop cycle. The Beerkan method was proposed as a quick and easy approach to estimate the saturated soil hydraulic conductivity, Ks. In this study, a new complete three-dimensional model for Beerkan experiments recently proposed was used. It consists of thirteen different calculation approaches that differ in estimating the macroscopic capillary length, initial (θi) and saturated (θs) soil water contents, use transient or steady-state infiltration data, and different fitting methods to transient data. A steady-state version of the simplified method based on a Beerkan infiltration run (SSBI) was used as the benchmark. Measurements were carried out on five sampling dates during a single growing season (from November to June) in a long-term experiment in which two soil management systems were compared, i.e., minimum tillage (MT) and no tillage (NT). The objectives of this work were (i) to test the proposed new model and calculation approaches under real field conditions, (ii) investigate the impact of MT and NT on soil properties, and (iii) obtain information on the seasonal variability of Ks and other main soil physical properties (θi, soil bulk density, ρb, and water retention curve) under MT and NT. The results showed that the model always overestimated Ks compared to SSBI. Indeed, the estimated Ks differed by a factor of 11 when the most data demanding (A1) approach was considered by a factor of 4–8, depending on the transient or steady-state phase use, when A3 was considered and by a practically negligible factor of 1.0–1.9 with A4. A relatively higher seasonal variability was detected for θi at the MT than NT system. Under both MT and NT, ρb did not change between November and April but increased significantly until the end of the season. The selected calculation approaches provided substantially coherent information on Ks seasonal evolution. Regardless of the approach, the results showed a temporal stability of Ks at least from early April to June under NT; conversely, the MT system was, overall, more affected by temporal changes with a relative stability at the beginning and middle of the season. These findings suggest that a common sampling time for determining Ks could be set at early spring. Soil management affected the soil properties, because the NT system was significantly wetter and more compact than MT on four out of five dates. However, only NT showed a significantly increasing correlation between Ks and the modal pore diameter, suggesting the presence of a relatively smaller and better interconnected pore network in the no-tilled soil. This study confirms the need to test infiltration models under real field conditions to evaluate their pros and cons. The Beerkan method was effective for intensive soil sampling and accurate field investigations on the temporal variability of Ks.

Controllable Synthesis and Ultrahigh Proton Conduction of a Hydrogen-Bond Network.

The functionalization of polyoxometalates with organic ligands provides a new-style strategy to accurately incorporate polyoxometalates with advanced functional organic moieties on their surfaces, the development of which has attracted increasing research interest due to the potential applications. A germanium tungstate Na2(H3O)6[{RuIV(bpy)}2{WO2(C2O4)}2(GeW11O39)2]·27H2O (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) with two ligands covalently modified was triumphantly synthesized, using the conventional one-pot hydrothermal method. It was systematically characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), powder diffraction (PXRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. The two-dimensional (2D) layered structure was established through hydrogen bonding and Na+ bridges. Impedance measurements indicate that it displays outstanding proton conduction properties, with a splendid conductivity up to 1.24 × 10-2 S·cm-1 under 353 K and 90% relative humidity (RH), owing to the rich interlayer hydrogen-bond network formed by the organic ligands ({RuC10H8N2}4+ and {WC2O4}4+), hydrated protons (H3O+), and crystal waters.

Thermosetting boron-nitride-filled polybutadiene composites with enhanced thermal conductivity and good dielectric properties

Low dielectric materials with high heat dissipation, low dielectric constant (Dk), and dielectric loss (Df) are urgently needed to address the issues of signal cross-talk and heat accumulation arising from the rapid development of modern communication technology and the integration of microelectronics. Polyolefins, as hydrocarbon polymers, have shown significant potential due to their excellent low dielectric properties. However, their low polarity and flexible structures limit their thermal conductivity and thermomechanical properties. In this study, we developed a method to prepare thermosetting polybutadiene composites with enhanced thermal conductivity and good dielectric performance by modifying hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) with thermally cross-linkable benzocyclobutene (BCB) groups. The properties of the resulting composites were tailored by varying the filler content. With 30 wt% of the BCB-modified filler, the composite (HB-30) displayed excellent dielectric properties (Dk = 2.70; Df = 1.67 × 10−3 @10 GHz). Meanwhile, it exhibited a thermal conductivity of 0.615 W/mK at 35 °C, which was 7.1 times that of pristine HTPB. It also showed significantly enhanced mechanical properties and thermal stability with a storage modulus of 2.7 GPa and a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 208.5 °C. This method proved effective for preparing polymer composites with enhanced thermal conductivity, heat resistance, mechanical properties and good dielectric properties, making them suitable for high-frequency communication applications.

Synergistic Effects of Polypropylene Fibers and Silica Fume on Structural Lightweight Concrete: Analysis of Workability, Thermal Conductivity, and Strength Properties

Structural lightweight concrete (SLWC) is crucial for reducing building weight, reducing structural loads, and enhancing energy efficiency through lower thermal conductivity. This study explores the effects of incorporating silica fume (SF), micro-polypropylene (micro-PP), and macro-PP fibers on the workability, thermal properties, and strength of SLWC. SF was added to all mixtures, substituting 10% of the Portland cement (PC), except for the control mixture. Macro-PP fibers were introduced alone or in combination with micro-PP fibers at volumetric ratios of 0.3% and 0.6%. The study evaluated various parameters, including slump, Vebe time, density, water absorption (WA), ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), thermal conductivity coefficients (k), compressive strength (CS), and splitting tensile strength (STS) across six different SLWC formulations. The results indicate that while SF negatively impacted the workability of SLWC mortars, it improved CS and STS due to the formation of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gels from SF’s high pozzolanic activity. Additionally, using micro-PP fibers in combination with macro-PP fibers rather than solely macro-PP fibers enhanced the workability, CS, and STS of the SLWC samples. Although SF had a minor effect on reducing thermal conductivity, the use of macro-PP fibers alone was more effective for improving thermal properties by creating a more porous structure compared to the hybrid use of micro-PP fibers. Moreover, increasing the ratio of micro- and macro-PP fibers from 0.3% to 0.6% resulted in lower CS values but a significant increase in STS values.

Additionally, it discusses thermal performance through techniques like DSC, TGA, and DTG, along with material characterization methods such as FTIR, SEM, XRD, EDX, and XPS analysis. Overall, the research underscores the promising potential of Nano-particle-reinforced PCM composites for efficient energy storage and thermal management applications.

Numerical characterizations of the thermomechanical response of power modules with ceramic substrates and lead-free bonds

PurposeThe present paper aims to study the influence of the substrate system on the thermomechanical response of various lead-free die attach materials used in power electronics using nonlinear finite element simulations.Design/methodology/approachParticularly, three ceramic substrate systems, including direct copper bonded (DCB) and aluminum nitride (AlN) – as well as silicon nitride (Si3N4) –based insulated metal substrate (IMS) configurations are examined in this study. Additionally, three die attach systems, namely, silver-tin transient liquid phase (TLP), sintered silver (Ag) and sintered copper (Cu) are included in the analysis. ANSYS software is employed to build the finite element models of the power modules and to conduct the nonlinear thermomechanical investigations.FindingsThe simulation results revealed that the IMS, Si3N4 and DCB-based power modules end up with significantly lower interconnect inelastic strains and inelastic strain energies suggesting better fatigue life performance. Additionally, the bonding layer stresses and expected failure mechanism are not influenced by the substrate configuration rather than the bond material. For instance, the silver-tin TLP joints develop high stresses and hence brittle failures are expected. Nonetheless, the sintered Ag and sintered Cu have significantly lower stresses which could lead to fatigue-induced failures.Originality/valuePower electronics use various ceramic-based substrate systems because of their improved thermal conductivity, electrical insulation and heat resistance properties. The proper selection of the substrate structure could highly enhance the thermal fatigue of the power modules. Markedly, the findings of this research are useful for designing highly reliable and effective power modules continuously subjected to thermomechanical loadings.

Mechanical and Electrical Conductivity Properties of Graphene/Cu Interfaces: A Theoretical Insight.

For graphene/copper (Gr/Cu) composites, achieving high-quality interfaces between Gr and Cu (strong interfacial bonding strength and excellent electron transport performance) is crucial for enabling their widespread applications in electronic devices. This study employs first-principles calculations and the nonequilibrium Green's function method to systematically investigate the mechanical and electrical conductivity properties of Cu(111)/Gr/Cu(111) interfaces with various stacking sequences and different forms of Gr. For these interface systems, the binding energy, separation work, charge transfer, and electrical conductivity across the interface were obtained. The results show that the top-fcc interface exhibits superior interfacial properties, characterized by relatively high binding energy (-3.00 eV/C atom) and separation work (≥0.78 J/m2), a small interfacial distance (2.85 Å), and enhanced electron transport capacity (2.12 G0/nm2). A bilayer form of Gr significantly reduces electronic conductance across the Gr/Cu interface by nearly 2.46 orders of magnitude. Furthermore, point defects in Gr, especially single-vacancy defects, disrupt the traditional trade-offs between mechanical and electrical performance, simultaneously enhancing mechanical performance by 7.50-124.36% and electrical performance by 33.02%. Additionally, stress mechanisms have been proposed to further enhance the interfacial electrical conductivity of Gr/Cu composites. The present study provides a theoretical basis for exploring the engineering applications of Gr/Cu composite materials.
