Te-rP-C Anodes Prepared Using a Scalable Milling Process for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Red phosphorus (rP) is one of the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, owing to its high theoretical capacity. However, its low electronic conductivity and large volume expansion during cycling limit its practical applications, as it exhibits low electrochemical activity and unstable cyclability. To address these problems, tellurium (Te)-rP-C composites, which have active materials (Te, rP) that are uniformly distributed within the carbon matrix, were fabricated through a simple high-energy ball milling method. Among the three electrodes, the Te-rP (1:2)-C electrode with a 5% FEC additive delivers a high initial CE of 80% and a high reversible capacity of 734 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g-1. Additionally, it exhibits a high-rate capacity of 580 mAh g-1 at a high current density of 10,000 mA g-1. Moreover, a comparison of the electrolytes with and without the 5% FEC additive demonstrated improved cycling stability when the FEC additive was used. Ex situ XRD analysis demonstrated the lithiation/delithiation mechanism of Te-rP (1:2)-C after cycling based on the cyclic voltammetry results. Based on the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis results, a Te-rP-C composite with its notable electrochemical performance as an anode can sufficiently contribute to the battery anode industry.

Enhanced luminescence stability of high-entropy dual-phase Cs(Pb1/5Mn1/5Ni1/5Zn1/5Cd1/5)Br3/Cs(Pb1/5Mn1/5Ni1/5Zn1/5Cd1/5)2Br5 perovskite nanocrystals coated with SiO2 and EVA

All-inorganic halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted much attention in many fields. However, the poor stability of NCs and the toxicity of Pb have greatly hindered their practical applications. Reducing the proportion of Pb with the concept of high-entropy and coating NCs with an outer layer have been regarded as effective strategies to solve the problems. Herein, We have successfully synthesized the all-inorganic high-entropy dual-phase Cs(Pb1/5Mn1/5Ni1/5Zn1/5Cd1/5)Br3/Cs(Pb1/5Mn1/5Ni1/5Zn1/5Cd1/5)2Br5(Cs‘B’Br3/Cs‘B’2Br5) perovskite NCs with good luminescence properties by a high-energy ball milling method; On the basis of which, Cs‘B’Br3/Cs‘B2’Br5 NCs are coated with SiO2 and EVA resin. Due to the amorphous SiO2 protection, the Cs‘B’Br3/Cs‘B2’Br5@SiO2 NCs maintained 93% of their emission intensity after 90 days compared to their uncoated counterparts. The PL intensity of Cs‘B’Br3/Cs‘B2’Br5 NCs /EVA was significantly enhanced by a factor of 4.7 for compared to the uncoated NCs. In addition, the PL emission intensity of the Cs‘B’Br3/Cs‘B2’Br5 NCs /EVA remained 93.7% after 90 days, and the emission peak intensity remained approximately 63% after 8 h of placement in an enclosed environment at 80% humidity through the dense polymer chains and the hydrophobic nature of the film. Finally, the film could expand its application prospects in the field of flexible device.

Effect of Ti content and ball-milling time on the microstructural, thermal, and microhardness properties of AlCoCuNiTi high entropy alloys

In this study, AlCoCuNiTi high entropy alloy was produced by high-energy ball-milling (mechanical alloying) and sintering methods. The microstructural, thermal, and microhardness properties of the milled powders and sintered bulk alloy samples were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray (FESEM-EDX), differential thermal analyser (DTA), optical microscope (OM), and Vickers hardness tester. XRD results revealed that the intermetallic and solid solution phases which consist of body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) structured phases were formed after 80–120 h of milling. It was found that the crystallite size decreased to ⁓5.67 nm, the lattice strain increased and the dislocation density increased to ⁓31.14 × 1015/m2 after the increase in Ti ratio and milling up to 120 h in the produced samples. FESEM/EDX analyses also revealed that as the mechanical milling time increased, fracture-fragments, welds, re-fractures, and agglomerations occurred, the particle size decreased to a minimum of 8 μm, and a more homogeneous structure containing spherical-shaped particles was formed. DTA curves showed an exothermic peak indicating the crystallization of the Al–Cu-based FCC solid solution phase between 550 °C and 600 °C temperatures in the samples milled up to 30 h, while it did not show any reaction peak in the samples milled up to 120 h. Additionally, it was observed that the mechanically milling time and sintering, and adding Ti led to an increase in the microhardness of the bulk alloy samples due to the deformation hardening, and the appearance of new intermetallic phases and FCC + BCC solid solution phases. Finally, after 120 h of milling and sintering at 815 °C, the maximum microhardness of the 8 % Ti-doped AlCoCuNiTi alloy was measured as 882 ± 20 HV1, which indicates that its mechanical properties are improved.

Facile synthesis of g-C3N4 nanosheets for effective degradation of organic pollutants via ball milling

Abstract Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has attracted extensive research interest in pollutants remediation. However, the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 was significantly limited by its small specific surface area. In this work, a green, high-energy ball milling method was used to fabricate g-C3N4 nanosheets. The structure, morphology, and optical properties of the prepared g-C3N4 nanosheets were characterized. The effect of ball milling parameters on the photocatalytic performance evaluated by Rhodamine B (RhB) and tetracycline (TC) was investigated systemically. Among the tested samples, the g-C3N4 sample milled with a 4 mL isopropanol solution at a rotation speed of 420 rpm, ball-to-powder weight ratio of 10:1, and milling time of 24 h exhibited the highest RhB degradation efficiency of 91.4% and TC degradation efficiency of 70.2%. The enhanced photocatalytic activity after ball milling was ascribed to the increase in specific surface area and efficient separation of electron–hole pairs. The trapping experiment indicated that holes and superoxide radicals were the main active species in the degradation reaction. Moreover, the photocatalytic degradation mechanism of organic pollutants on g-C3N4 nanosheets was also discussed in detail.

Relaxation of Stress Propagation in Alloying-Type Sn Anodes for K-Ion Batteries.

Alloying-type metallic tin is perceived as a potential anode material for K-ion batteries owing to its high theoretical capacity and reasonable working potential. However, pure Sn still face intractable issues of inferior K+ storage capability owing to the mechanical degradation of electrode against large volume changes and formation of intermediary insulating phases K4 Sn9 and KSn during alloying reaction. Herein, the TiC/C-carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is prepared as an effective buffer matrix and composited with Sn particles (Sn-TiC/C-CNTs) through the high-energy ball-milling method. Owing to the conductive and rigid properties, the TiC/C-CNTs matrix enhances the electrical conductivity as well as mechanical integrity of Sn in the composite material and thus ultimately contributes to performance supremacy in terms of electrochemical K+ storage properties. During potassiation process, the TiC/C-CNTs matrix not only dissipates the internal stress toward random radial orientations within the Sn particle but also provides electrical pathways for the intermediate insulating phases; this tends to reduce microcracking and prevent considerable electrode degradation.

Synthesis and Basic Properties of Y1−xYbxVO4 Obtained by High-Energy Ball Milling and High-Temperature Treatment

The main objective of this work was to experimentally confirm that a continuous, substitutional solid solution of a general formula Y1−xYbxVO4 is formed in the pseudo-binary system YVO4–YbVO4, and to investigate its basic unknown properties as a function of composition for 0.00 < x < 1.00. To date, such a solid solution has been obtained and characterized to a limited extent, but only for a few selected compositions. This solution was obtained by a high temperature and, for the first time, using mechanochemical methods. For the solution obtained by the high-energy ball-milling method, unknown physicochemical properties were established over its entire range of homogeneity. The solution was synthesized from mixtures of yttrium orthovanadate (V) with ytterbium (III) orthovanadate (V) of different compositions and investigated by XRD, IR, SEM, and UV-Vis(DRS) methods. It was found that Y1−xYbxVO4 crystallizes in a tetragonal system. The results confirmed that the solid solution Y1−xYbxVO4 has a structure of YVO4 and YbVO4, and its structure is composed of YbO6 and YO6 octahedrons and VO4 tetrahedrons. Moreover, if the parameter (x) in the solid solution Y1−xYbxVO4 increases, its crystalline lattice contracts and the value of the energy gap decreases. This solid solution is stable in the air atmosphere at least up to ~1500 °C. The estimated band gap for this solid solution indicates that it belongs to the semiconductors.

Effect of Doping with Different Nb Contents on the Properties of CoCrFeNi High-Entropy Alloys.

A series of five-element CoCrFeNi-Nbx (x = 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 wt%) high-entropy alloys were prepared using high-energy ball milling and discharge plasma sintering methods. Then, the effects of doping with Nb elements on the organization and properties of the CoCrFeNi HEAs were systematically investigated by tensile testing, hardness testing, and examining their micro-morphologies. The results show that with the addition of the Nb element, the lattice distortion of the alloy due to the large size of the Nb atoms causes the microstructure of CoCrFeNi HEAs to change from a single-phase FCC structure to a dual-phase structure of FCC and Laves. With the increase in the Nb content, the increase in the volume fraction of the hard and brittle Laves phase leads to the enhancement of the HEA's tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness, and a decrease in plasticity. The Nb5 alloy showed the most excellent comprehensive performance, with a tensile strength, yield strength, and plasticity of 879.1 MPa, 491.8 MPa, and 39.8%, respectively, and all the properties were improved compared with those of the HEAs obtained by the arc melting method. The increase in the hardness of the HEAs was nearly proportional to the increase in the volume fraction of the Laves phase, which was the direct cause of the increase in the hardness of the HEA. Therefore, since the Laves phase is the direct cause of the increase in HEA hardness, the doping of CoCrFeNi HEAs with Nb can significantly improve the properties of HEAs.

β-MnO2/three-dimensional graphene-carbon nanotube hybrids as cathode for aqueous zinc-ion battery

Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (RZIBs) are one of the favorable complementary candidates for lithium-ion batteries. The cathode material determines the whole performance. Herein, β-MnO2/3D GPE-CNTs hybrid cathode materials were fabricated by intermittent high-energy vibratory ball milling method. It delivered a higher specific discharge capacity of 313.31 mAh·g−1 and excellent cycling stability compared to the bare β-MnO2 sample. Morphological characterizations revealed that the enhanced electrochemical performance of the β-MnO2/3D GPE-CNTs hybrid was mainly attributed to the three-dimensional framework structure, large specific surface area, and good conductivity of GPE-CNT, as well as its resulting particle refinement with uniform dispersion and partial suppression of grain amorphization. This article provided a new sight of fabricating Mn-based materials/conducting carbon material hybrid for good performance cathode in RZIBs.

Effect of Milling on Forest Residue-Derived Biochar with High Energy Milling Ellipse 3 Dimension

The research on the synthesis of nanoparticles using the high-energy ball milling method technique is limited in Indonesia. This work aims to reduce the size of the remaining biochar powder from the lignocellulosic residual forest (twig) into a nanoparticle. High-Energy Ball Milling-Ellipse 3 Dimension (HEM-E3D) was used to grind the biochar through 212 um mesh with time variations of 0, 2, 3, and 4 hours. The speed of the HEM-E3D is 180 rpm, while the milling on and off times are 10 minutes and 1 minute, respectively. The Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) characterization data show that 4 hours is the optimal milling time with 282,7 nm and evenly distributed particles. The morphology of powder biochar resemblant sheets and an average size of 205 nm at 60000x magnification. There were no discernible and damaged functional group alterations in the surface functional groups as determined by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The adsorption experiment using a thin film method shows that powder biochar could reduce heavy metal concentrations of Cr (VI).

Production of reduced graphene oxide from activated rice husk charcoal using a high-energy ball milling method

Production of high-quality graphene at a commercial scale with low cost remains challenging. Thus, we used a high-energy ball milling approach to make reduced graphene oxide (rGO) from activated rice husk charcoal as an enriched carbon source. The as-produced rGO samples were characterized to determine the effect of various milling times (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 min) on their structure, morphology, specific surface area, pores volume, and size distribution. The variation in the ball milling times was found to introduce the structural defects and remove the oxygen functional groups, thus improving the overall characteristics of the obtained rGO. The wrinkle sheet-like structures of rGO evolved into numerous paper balls-like transparent rumple morphologies due to the milling process-enabled compression mechanism. In addition, due to the increase of milling times, the amount of carbon in rGO was increased to 89.9 atomic%, and oxygen was reduced to 9.3 atomic%, wherein the thermal agitation-mediated collisions of particles played a significant role. The specific surface area (121.483 m2 g−1) and pore volume (0.133 cm3 g−1) of rGO prepared at a milling time of 50 min were observed to be optimum. It was asserted that a high-energy ball milling technique with controlled milling times could help produce high-quality rGO from activated rice husk charcoal at low cost, leading to the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly material required for diverse applications.

Mechanosynthesis, Structure and Photoluminescent Properties of the Pr3+ Doped LiNbO3, LiNbO3:Mg, LiTaO3 Nanopowders

In the current work, nanocrystalline powders with different compositions, namely Li0.98Pr0.02NbO3, Li0.93Pr0.02Mg0.05NbO3 and Li0.98Pr0.02TaO3 were synthesized for the first time using the method of high-energy ball milling of the starting materials (Li2CO3, Nb2O5, Ta2O5, MgO, Pr6O11), followed by high-temperature annealing. XRD data analysis confirmed the absence of parasitic phases in the obtained nanocrystalline compounds. The estimated particle sizes ranged from 20 to 80 nm. From the obtained nanopowders, ceramic samples were prepared using specially developed equipment, which allowed for pressing at elevated temperatures with a simultaneous application of a constant electric field. The obtained photoluminescence spectra exhibit characteristic features of Pr3+ ions in the crystal structure of LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 and are most efficiently excited by UV light. Samples pressed with an electric field application show higher intensity of photoluminescence. Investigations of the temperature dependence of electrical conductivity of the Li0.98Pr0.02NbO3 sample, pressed with the application of an electric field, indicate that the conductivity mechanism is similar to that of LiNbO3 single crystals and, at high temperatures, is attributed to the lithium conduction mechanism.

Crystallite size reduction of Cr doped Al2O3 materials via optimized high-energy ball milling method

α-Al2O3 based compounds have large crystals and it is very difficult to reduce the crystallite size because they are very stable and hard. One way of reducing the crystallite size of the materials is by using high-energy ball milling method. Pure and single-phase micron-sized α-Al2−xCrxO3 (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) materials were successfully obtained via self-propagating combustion method. These materials were then subjected to a simple milling process from their microcrystalline powders. Comparisons between the micron-sized and milled samples in terms of their phase, structure, morphology and crystallite size were discussed. The XRD results reveal that all the milled samples were pure with no impurity or other phases present. Structural parameters are extracted via the Rietveld method, revealing that the cell constant, a, of the milled samples is higher than that of the micron-sized materials by 0.09 % to 0.11 %, resulting in a 0.28 % to 0.39 % increase in cell volume. FESEM results show a gradual decrease in crystallite size with increased milling time. Notably, the method successfully reduces the crystallite size without changing the phase of the materials and preserving the stoichiometry of the Al2−xCrxO3 materials which may offer improved properties in various applications.

SPS preparation of La10Si6O27 and the effect of sintering temperature on electrical conductivity

La10Si6O27 powder was synthesized by a high-energy ball milling method and its sintered body was prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology. Phase structure, microscopic morphology, density, porosity and oxide ion conductivity of La10Si6O27 were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Archimedes method and alternating current (AC) impedance spectrum, respectively. XRD results showed the ball-milled powder could form apatite-type La10Si6O27 at 1400 ℃. The crystal structure of La10Si6O27 sintered body remained stable. SEM results showed that La10Si6O27 sintered body using SPS sintering method had better sintering between grains and a large reduction in open pores compared to conventional sintering. Grains of the sintered body were clearly visible and the grain size was uniform, about 1 µm. Archimedes method analysis showed relative density of La10Si6O27 sintered body is 100%, and open porosity is 0. Electrical conductivity of La10Si6O27 sintered body has an Arrhenius relationship with temperature.

Interstitial boron-doped FeCoNiCr high entropy alloys with excellent electromagnetic-wave absorption and resistance to harsh environments

High entropy alloys (HEAs) are new promising electromagnetic-wave absorbing (EMA) materials due to their advantages in terms of corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity. In the present work, FeCoNiCrBx (x = 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5) HEAs were prepared by a 3D high-energy ball-milling method. There was a phase change from face-centered cubic to body-centered cubic in the FeCoNiCrBx HEAs as the B content increased, which led to anomalous changes in mechanical properties, static magnetic properties and corrosion resistance. By tuning B contents, FeCoNiCrB0.05 HEAs delivered excellent electromagnetic-wave absorption performances. The minimum reflection loss (RLmin) values reached −62.5 dB at 11.74 GHz as thin as 2.11 mm, and the widest bandwidth was 5.78 GHz (11.90–17.68 GHz). In addition, B-doped FeCoNiCr HEAs had excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and high temperature oxidation resistance. This work has important significance for the exploration of practical EMA materials that are resistant to harsh environments.

Ball milling treatment of Mn3O4 regulates electron transfer pathway for peroxymonosulfate activation

Heterogeneous metal catalysts have attracted considerable interest in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for wastewater treatment by activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS). However, it remains challenging to the rational design of efficient reaction pathway for high-performance contaminants removal by regulating the inherent structure of metal oxides. Herein, a high-energy ball milling method was employed to modulate the electronic structure of hausmannite (denoted as BM Mn3O4), which achieved the switching of singlet oxygen into electron transfer process (ETP)-dominated activation of PMS for efficient removal of bisphenol A - an emerging organic pollutant. The reaction pathway was evidenced through galvanic oxidation process, electrochemical techniques, and in-situ Raman spectroscopy, confirming the electrons transferred from pollutants to metastable PMS* complex with BM Mn3O4 serving as electron shuttle. The ETP mechanism was verified to be closely correlated with decreased eg occupancy of Mn in BM Mn3O4, offering high spatial overlapping with O 2p orbital in PMS for generating PMS* complex. Benefitting from the fine-tuned ETP, BM Mn3O4/PMS system showed enhanced intrinsic activity, higher PMS utilization efficiency, and practical applicability for selective oxidation of electron-rich pollutants. This study provided new insights into rational design of reaction-oriented catalysts for environmental engineering.

Structure analysis of friction layer of copper matrix composites reinforced by composite ceramic (TiC-B4C) powder

To alleviate the issues of matrix softening and excessive wear faced by copper-based composites matched with C/C–SiC disc during high-speed braking, the research was conducted to investigate the impact of composite ceramic (TiC–B4C, TB) powder on copper matrix composites prepared through conventional powder metallurgy method. TiC–B4C powder was produced using the high-energy ball milling method, and a suitable milling time (48 h) was established to obtain the maximum disorder degree. The results revealed that TB2 (6% TB) had the highest densification and the best mechanical and thermal performance, as compared to other composites. However, there were differences in tribological properties, with TB4 (10% TB) achieving the maximum friction coefficient, while TB2 (6% TB) exhibited more stable friction performance. As the TB powder content increased, larger tribo-films were formed on the worn surface. However, the influence of TB powder content (less than 10% TB) on friction performance was mainly due to mechanical strength and structural tightness, rather than the formation of tribo-films. The friction layer consisted of three parts: the top nanostructure layer composed of nanoparticles (C, Cu, Fe, B, O, and Ti), the middle tribo-film composed of graphite and B2O3, and the lower elastic deformation zone.

Black phosphorus stabilized by titanium disulfide and graphite via chemical bonds for high-performance lithium storage

Black phosphorus (BP) anode has received extensive attentions for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to its ultrahigh theoretical specific capacity (2596 mAh g−1) and superior electronic conductivity (≈102 S m−1). However, the enormous volume variations during lithiation/delitiation processes greatly limit its applications. Herein, a new BP-titanium disulfide-graphite (BP-TiS2-G) nanocomposite composed of BP, titanium disulfide and graphite has been prepared by a facile and scalable high-energy ball milling method. The experimental data proves that PC and PS bonds have been successfully introduced at the interface, which can effectively maintain the structural integrity of the BP-TiS2-G electrode when evaluated as an anode material for LIBs. In addition, lithium-ion diffusion kinetics have been demonstrated to be enhanced from the synergistic effect of PC and PS bonds. As a result, the BP-TiS2-G anode shows outstanding cycling stability (906.2 mAh g−1 after 1300 cycles at 1.0 A g−1) and superior rate performance (313.8 mAh g−1 at 10.0 A g−1). Our work shows the synergistic effects of different chemical bonds to stabilize BP can be a potential strategy for the development of high-performance alloy-type anodes for rechargeable batteries.

Research on Synthesis and Rheological Properties of Silicone Oil-based Ferrofluid with Dual Surfactants

Ferrofluids as a new kind of nano-functional material, possessing both magnetism of solid material and fluidity of liquid material, thus, they have extensive scientific research and engineering application value. To avoid the defects of conventional non- or single silane coupling agent in silicone oil-based ferrofluid preparation, TEOS and KH-792 were introduced as surfactants to modify Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Silicone oil modified by carboxylic acid was used as based liquid because of improved compatibility with surfactants. Silicone oil-based ferrofluid was prepared by high-energy ball milling method, and its rheological properties were studied. The saturated magnetization of the silicon oil based ferrofluid was 142.71 Gs. When external magnetic field was applied, the MNPs formed a chain structure in the microscope. The viscosity of ferrofluid increased with magnetic field and the shear stress rose with shear rate. The viscosity decreased steeply with increasing temperature and shear rate. The viscosity of silicone oil-based ferrofluid was 950 mPa·s at 25 °C and can vary from 2044 mPaㆍs at 5 °C to 465 mPa·s at 40 °C. The ferrofluid transformed from a Newtonian fluid at zero magnetic field to a shear-thinning pseudoplastic Bingham fluid when an external magnetic field was applied. The viscosity varied from 1.37 to 2.38 × 10SUP5/SUP mPa·s at zero shear rate. While, when magnetic field varied from 0 kA/ rose to 160 kA/m, the viscosity increased obviously and this phenomenon became more pronounced as the shear rate decreased. When magnetic field intensity was higher than 64 kA/m, the viscosity increased slowly with increasing shear rates and viscosity curve was close to a straight line at 100 s-1. This study expands the idea of exploring the synthesis of ferrofluids with mixed surfactants. Silicone oil-based ferrofluid is expected to have unique application prospects in the aerospace field, especially in space damping, sealing and biomedicine.

The relationship between structural evolution and high energy ball milling duration in tin reinforced Mg alloys

In this study, 9 wt% Sn reinforced Mg alloys are produced by high energy ball milling and conventional sintering method. Effect of ball milling time (30 min, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, and 12 h) on particle and grain morphology is detected by SEM examination. Phase evolution and solid solution mechanism is monitored by XRD analysis. Sintering process is carried out at 400 °C with 2 h sintering duration under Ar atmosphere. Platelet structure in powder morphology is observed up to 4 h ball milling, which is linked with the texture formation on < 002 > direction in hexagonal structure of Mg. This platelet formation is broken into smaller and monodispersed particle morphology with further milling process due to excessive plastic deformation which eventually provide homogenous dispersion of reinforcement element. Furthermore, ball milling process after 4 h triggers solid solution along with formation of intermetallic phase (Mg2Sn) according to crystallographic approach. The highest relative density values is measured in 8 h milling duration. Besides, the highest hardness value is achieved along with proper distribution of reinforcement element in 8 h condition. The hardness values is increased almost 85% comparing with pure ball milled Mg and 74% increment comparing with as cast Mg. The highest elastic modulus values is measured at 8 h milling condition by ultrasound method and this value is found in reasonable range. By introducing 12 h ball milling process, density, hardness and elastic modulus properties of 9 wt% Sn-Mg alloy is diminished because excessive amount of intermetallic phase formation on grain and grain boundaries. Therefore, 8 h high energy ball milling process is chosen the most suitable condition for this materials system to obtain proper powder packing and sinterability along with superior physical and mechanical properties.
