考虑非线性粘弹性界面的热塑性硫化胶应力传递机理研究:一种多尺度建模方法
Due to the multiscale characteristics of thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) as the heterogeneous composites, traditional experiments and single-scale modeling methods cannot accurately obtain the influence of the microstructure of TPV on its internal stress transfer mechanis m and macromechanical properties. Therefore, one sequential multiscale modeling approach has been proposed in our research work to explore the influence mechanis m of nonlinear viscoelastic interphase on the stress transfer and mechanical properties of TPV. Especially, the mechanical properties of the interphase have been accurately transferred between the molecular models and the finite element representative volume element (RVE) models by identifying the constitutive parameters. The results reveal one previously unrecognized mechanis m where the interphase, as the stress trans mission channel, realizes the transformation among stress, elastic potential energy and rebound driving force inside the TPV. Significantly, this study demonstrates that the interphase thickness will affect the stress transfer efficiency of the interphase, and then regulate the tensile strength and resilience of TPV. By introducing the rate of residual stress as a novel evaluation criterion for stress transfer efficiency, this work advances the fundamental understanding of TPV deformation mechanis ms and has provided a theoretical foundation for the design and preparation of high-performance TPV in the practical application.
由于热塑性硫化胶(TPV)作为非均相复合材料具有多尺度特性,传统的实验和单尺度建模方法无法准确获得TPV微观结构对其内应力传递机制和宏观力学性能的影响。因此,本研究提出了一种序贯多尺度建模方法,探讨非线性粘弹性界面对TPV应力传递和力学性能的影响机制。特别是,通过识别本构参数,在分子模型和有限元代表体积元(RVE)模型之间准确地传递了界面相的力学性能。研究结果揭示了一种以前未被认识到的机制,即界面作为应力传递通道,实现了TPV内部应力、弹性势能和回弹驱动力之间的转换。重要的是,本研究表明,间相厚度会影响间相的应力传递效率,进而调节TPV的抗拉强度和回弹性。通过引入残余应力率作为应力传递效率的新评价标准,促进了对TPV变形机理的基本认识,为高性能TPV的设计和制备提供了理论基础。

机械压制下静电纺丝制备的光热驱动可切换透明纳米纤维膜复合材料
Nanofiber composites integrating photothermal conversion, phase-change energy storage, and temperature-responsive optical transparency offer promising pathways for advanced applications. However, significant light scattering within their complex microstructural architecture severely limits their practical utility in scenarios demanding optical clarity. We develop a novel sandwich-structured composite nanofibrous membrane. Its out layers consist of mechanically compressed Cs0.32WO3/PVDF films (CPF), while polyethylene glycol (PEG) serves as the phase-change material integrated between them. Mechanical compression induces significant structural densification, forming a continuous polymer network that simultaneously enhances thermal conductivity and optical trans mittance by 40.3 % relative to pristine membranes while imparting robust leakage resistance. Strategic incorporation of Cs0.32WO3 nanoparticles serves dual functions: acting as efficient infrared absorbers to achieve remarkable photothermal conversion while minimizing optical scattering to preserve CPF transparency. The optimized composite demonstrates a latent heat capacity of 76.4 J/g with exceptional thermal cycling stability and maintains structural integrity under thermal stress. Notably, the solid–liquid phase transition of PEG synergizes with the compressed architecture to enable rapid temperature-responsive switchable optical transparency. The developed Cs0.32WO3-PVDF/PEG sandwich films (CPPF) in this work demonstrate potential applicability in temperature-responsive anti-counterfeiting technologies and personalized thermal management systems, thereby establishing an innovative paradigm to reconcile optical transparency with multifunctional integration.

厚复合材料中拖曳固化残余应力减缓方法的数值研究
Thick thermosetting composites offer unique opportunities for high-performance applications in several fields such as aerospace, wind energy, piping, pressurised vessels, marine industry, etc. However, realising their full potential requires a deep understanding of material behaviour during processing since cure-induced defects, such as thermal spikes, residual stresses and cure inhomogeneity, can undermine mechanical performance and increase the risk of flawed parts. This study numerically investigates a novel additive manufacturing (AM) process for continuous carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRP), combining partial pre-curing and in-situ curing strategies. By leveraging the properties of partial curing, the investigation aims to mitigate cure-induced defects. The influence of key parameters (pre-cure level, printing speed, heat source size and intensity) is investigated by means of a simulation framework incorporating detailed modelling of material property evolution to mimic the process and predict the distribution of temperature, stress and degree of cure. Results highlight the impact of thermal and cure gradients on residual stress accumulation and show that partially curing the material before and during layup up to 0.67 conversion can reduce the exotherm during final cure by up to 92 %, and lower through-thickness internal stress by up to 65 % after cool-down. In addition, an optimal selection of printing speed and heat input can enhance processing speed by exploiting an acceptable level of temperature overshoot or defining more aggressive cure cycles. The insight into AM for defect-minimised composite structures can ultimately contribute to the development of more reliable and efficient manufacturing processes.
厚热固性复合材料为航空航天、风能、管道、压力容器、海洋工业等多个领域的高性能应用提供了独特的机会。然而,要充分发挥其潜力,需要对加工过程中的材料行为有深入的了解,因为固化引起的缺陷,如热峰值、残余应力和固化不均匀性,会破坏机械性能并增加零件缺陷的风险。本研究对一种新型的连续碳纤维增强聚合物(CFRP)增材制造(AM)工艺进行了数值研究,该工艺结合了部分预固化和原位固化策略。通过利用部分固化的特性,该研究旨在减轻固化引起的缺陷。研究了关键参数(预固化水平、打印速度、热源尺寸和强度)的影响,通过结合材料性能演变的详细建模的仿真框架来模拟过程并预测温度、应力和固化程度的分布。结果突出了热梯度和固化梯度对残余应力积累的影响,并表明在铺层前和铺层过程中,对材料进行0.67转换的部分固化,可使最终固化时的放热降低高达92% %,冷却后的全厚内应力降低高达65% %。此外,印刷速度和热输入的最佳选择可以通过利用可接受的温度超调水平或定义更积极的固化周期来提高加工速度。对缺陷最小化复合材料结构的增材制造的深入了解最终有助于开发更可靠、更高效的制造工艺。

使用AFM测量和有限元建模表征不同纤维表面粗糙度的CFRP界面特性
The microscale surface roughness and surface chemical bonding characteristics of carbon fibers (CFs) vary significantly depending on manufacturing and post-processing conditions, critically influencing the overall mechanical properties of CFRP composites. A comprehensive investigation of both chemical bonding and mechanical interlocking mechanis ms at fiber–matrix interface is therefore essential for accurate characterization of interfacial behavior. In this study, a novel modeling approach is developed for the first time by directly incorporating AFM images of CF surfaces, which represent the actual surface topography, into the finite element simulation to systematically investigate interfacial behavior in longitudinal, transverse, and normal directions relative to fibers, which are difficult to evaluate from typical experiments. Three types of CFs with different surface roughness including de-sized CFs, heat-treated CFs, and plas ma-treated CFs, are investigated in the interface modeling. Additionally, an idealized CF with a s mooth surface was also included to isolate and evaluate the influence of surface roughness itself. Simulations reveal that under normal loading, chemical bonding is the sole interaction at the interface, and interface properties are proportional to CF surface areas. Under transverse and longitudinal loading, both chemical bonding and mechanical interlocking coexist: chemical bonding dominates the early stage of debonding, while mechanical interlocking becomes the primary load transfer mechanis m as debonding progresses. It was discovered that the contribution of chemical bonding on interfacial response is weak under influence of surface roughness of CF. This study demonstrated that appropriate numerical characterizations are essential for accurately predicting the properties of composites prior to homogenization an alysis of CFRP.
碳纤维(CFRP)的微尺度表面粗糙度和表面化学结合特性因制造和后处理条件的不同而有很大差异,这对CFRP复合材料的整体力学性能有重要影响。因此,全面研究纤维-基质界面上的化学键合和机械联锁机制对于准确表征界面行为至关重要。在本研究中,首次开发了一种新的建模方法,将代表实际表面形貌的CF表面AFM图像直接纳入有限元模拟中,以系统地研究相对于纤维的纵向、横向和法线方向的界面行为,这是典型实验难以评估的。研究了三种不同表面粗糙度的碳纤维材料,包括去尺寸碳纤维材料、热处理碳纤维材料和等离子体处理碳纤维材料。此外,还包括一个具有光滑表面的理想CF,以隔离和评估表面粗糙度本身的影响。模拟结果表明,在正常载荷下,化学键是界面上唯一的相互作用,界面性能与CF的表面积成正比。在横向和纵向荷载作用下,化学键合和机械联锁并存,化学键合在脱粘初期起主导作用,随着脱粘的进行,机械联锁成为主要的荷载传递机制。研究发现,在碳纤维表面粗糙度的影响下,化学键对界面响应的贡献较弱。该研究表明,在对碳纤维布进行均匀化分析之前,适当的数值表征对于准确预测复合材料的性能至关重要。

用于海上原油开采的光热超疏水LA-MOF@PDA@MS海绵
With the rapid development of industrial activities, oil spills have occurred frequently at sea, causing increasingly severe ecological damage and environmental pollution. However, traditional superhydrophobic sponges can only adsorb low-viscosity oils and are ineffective for high-viscosity crude oils with poor fluidity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel materials capable of effectively addressing crude oil spills. In this paper, LA-MOF was prepared by modifying zirconium-based metal-organic framework (UiO-66-NH2) with lauric acid (LA), and a photothermal superhydrophobic sponge (LA-MOF@PDA@MS) was fabricated by sequentially depositing polydopamine (PDA) and LA-MOF onto melamine sponges (MS). The resulting LA-MOF@PDA@MS exhibits excellent water repellency, with a water contact angle (WCA) of 155.5°, along with good self-cleaning properties, chemical stability, and mechanical durability. The modified sponge demonstrates an oil absorption capacity ranging from 28.60 to 56.83 g/g, with separation efficiencies exceeding 97% for the select oils. Moreover, the LA-MOF@PDA@MS exhibits remarkable photothermal performance, capable of elevating its temperature to 68.3 °C within 300 s under simulated sunlight irradiation. The heating capability significantly reduces the viscosity of crude oil, enabling efficient absorption. The sponge achieves a saturated crude oil uptake of 60.7 g/g with a transfer rate of 5.49 g/min. Furthermore, the modified sponge displays excellent anti-icing and antimicrobial properties, further extending its service life in practical applications. These superior characteristics make the LA-MOF@PDA@MS sponge a highly promising candidate for oil spill remediation.
随着工业活动的迅速发展,海上溢油事故频发,造成的生态破坏和环境污染日益严重。然而,传统的超疏水海绵只能吸附低粘度原油,对流动性差的高粘度原油无效。因此,迫切需要开发能够有效处理原油泄漏的新型材料。本文以月桂酸(LA)修饰锆基金属有机骨架(uui -66- nh2)制备了LA- mof,并将聚多巴胺(PDA)和LA- mof依次沉积在三聚氰胺海绵(MS)上制备了光热超疏水海绵(LA-MOF@PDA@MS)。所得LA-MOF@PDA@MS具有优异的拒水性,水接触角(WCA)为155.5°,具有良好的自清洁性能、化学稳定性和机械耐久性。改性海绵的吸油量为28.60 ~ 56.83 g/g,对所选油脂的分离效率超过97%。此外,LA-MOF@PDA@MS表现出优异的光热性能,在模拟阳光照射下,能在300 s内将其温度提高到68.3°C。加热能力显著降低了原油的粘度,实现了有效的吸收。海绵的饱和原油吸收率为60.7 g/g,传递速率为5.49 g/min。此外,改性海绵具有优异的防冰和抗菌性能,进一步延长了其在实际应用中的使用寿命。这些优越的特性使LA-MOF@PDA@MS海绵成为极有前途的溢油修复候选材料。

评价微柱压缩法测定碳纤维强度和刚度的有效性
The longitudinal compressive mechanical behaviour of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-precursor T300 carbon fibres was assessed using micro-pillar compression testing, with direct comparison to published data on entire fibre compression. Micro-pillars, fabricated via focused ion beam (FIB) milling, exhibited compressive modulus, strength, and failure strain values closely matching those of whole fibres, thereby validating this microscale technique for accurate stiffness and strength measurements. A progressive reduction in stiffness with increasing compressive strain—indicative of non-linear elasticity—was directly observed and quantified under compression for the first time. Although the failure modes of micro-pillars differed from those of intact fibres, the results support the hypothesis of a mechanically homogeneous fibre microstructure and suggest the presence of a stabilising outer sheath that delays failure initiation. These findings reinforce the methodological basis for s mall-scale mechanical testing of carbon fibres and carry implications for multiscale modelling and the prediction of compressive strength in unidirectional composite plies.
采用微柱压缩试验对聚丙烯腈(PAN)前驱体T300碳纤维的纵向压缩力学行为进行了评估,并与已发表的全纤维压缩数据进行了直接比较。通过聚焦离子束(FIB)铣削制造的微柱,其压缩模量、强度和破坏应变值与整个纤维的压缩模量、强度和破坏应变值密切匹配,从而验证了这种微尺度技术的精确刚度和强度测量。随着压缩应变的增加,刚度逐渐降低-表明非线性弹性-首次在压缩下直接观察和量化。尽管微柱的破坏模式与完整纤维的破坏模式不同,但研究结果支持了机械均匀纤维微观结构的假设,并表明存在稳定的外护套,可以延迟破坏的发生。这些发现加强了碳纤维小规模机械测试的方法学基础,并对单向复合材料层的多尺度建模和抗压强度预测产生了影响。

用于轻型脉冲电磁干扰屏蔽的双网络芳纶纳米纤维/纤维素纳米纤维/MXene气凝胶
Achieving effective shielding against high-power electromagnetic pulses (HEMPs) without compromising mass is critical for aerospace, defence and wearable systems, yet remains elusive for most lightweight materials. In this work, we present a multifunctional composite aerogel constructed from aramid nanofibers (ANFs), cellulose nanofibers (CNF), and MXene nanosheets. A dual-network architecture is formed through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, yielding a highly porous structure with integrated strength, flexibility, and electrical functionality. The aerogel exhibits an exceptional compressive stress of 0.48 MPa at 60% strain, broadband shielding effectiveness exceeding 90 dB in the X-band (with >90% absorption contribution), and thermal stability up to 150 °C. Conventional shielding metrics based on continuous-wave (CW) frequency-domain evaluations often fail to capture material behavior under such scenarios. To evaluate the aerogel’s transient protection capabilities, we further employed time-domain shielding effectiveness (TDSE) simulations based on finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) modeling. The results confirm strong suppression of electric field peaks, derivatives, and energy flux under EMP-like illumination, demonstrating the aerogel’s viability in pulse-rich environments such as aerospace and defense systems. This study offers a versatile and scalable platform for engineering aerogels with high-performance electromagnetic resilience, bridging the gap between material design and real-world operational requirements.
在不影响质量的情况下实现对大功率电磁脉冲(HEMPs)的有效屏蔽对于航空航天、国防和可穿戴系统至关重要,但对于大多数轻质材料来说仍然难以实现。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种由芳纶纳米纤维(ANFs)、纤维素纳米纤维(CNF)和MXene纳米片构成的多功能复合气凝胶。通过氢键和静电相互作用形成双网络结构,产生具有综合强度,柔韧性和电气功能的高度多孔结构。在60%的应变下,气凝胶表现出0.48 MPa的特殊压应力,在x波段的宽带屏蔽效率超过90 dB(>90%的吸收贡献),热稳定性高达150°C。基于连续波(CW)频域评估的传统屏蔽指标往往无法捕捉到这种情况下的材料行为。为了评估气凝胶的瞬态保护能力,我们进一步采用基于时域有限差分(FDTD)建模的时域屏蔽效率(TDSE)模拟。结果证实,在类似emp的照明下,气凝胶对电场峰值、导数和能量通量有很强的抑制作用,证明了气凝胶在高脉冲环境(如航空航天和国防系统)中的可行性。该研究为具有高性能电磁弹性的工程气凝胶提供了一个通用的、可扩展的平台,弥合了材料设计与实际操作需求之间的差距。
