复合材料加筋板多点低速冲击及后冲击压缩损伤预测模型评估
To address the prediction problem of multi-point low-velocity impact and compression-after-impact damage in composite stiffened panels, a numerical simulation method is used to explore the influences of two damage initiation criteria and two evolution methods on them from two aspects: external mechanical response and internal damage morphology. A three-dimensional finite element model was established to ana lyze multi-point low-velocity impact and compression-after-impact damage in composite stiffened panels. Additionally, an integrated numerical simulation process was designed, which includes damage initiation, evolution methods, and progressive constitutive models. Multi-point low-velocity impact and compression-after-impact experiments were conducted on composite stiffened panels. Based on the experimental results, the predictive ability of different combinations of damage initiation criteria and evolution methods was evaluated and discussed. The results indicate that the numerical predictions of all combinations are consistent with the trends of the experimentally tested mechanical response curves. The internal damage morphology predicted by the Hashin/Exponential combination shows a high degree of agreement with the experimental results. All combinations can effectively predict the eccentric compression observed in the post-impact compression damage morphology. The index D-I dynamically characterizes the damage degree of composite stiffened panels. This index can quantitatively explain the failure mechanis m of multi-point low-velocity impact and compression-after-impact.

一种新型柔性减震装置的力学性能及车桥碰撞动力响应分析
The rapid expansion of bridge infrastructure and increasing vehicular traffic have led to a significant rise in vehicle-bridge collision incidents. Conventional pier protection systems, characterized by excessive structural rigidity and inadequate energy dissipation capacity, fail to provide sufficient protection for modern bridge structures. To address these limitations, this study proposes a novel flexible bridge collision mitigation device featuring a glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) lattice structure with foamed aluminum (FA) filler. The modular design employs standardized blocks to provide effective impact protection for bridge piers. To validate the performance of the proposed device, material properties tests were first conducted on GFRP and FA, to determine simulation parameters for the finite element (FE) an alysis. Subsequently, FE models of the collision mitigation device incorporating various lattice configurations were developed, followed by drop hammer simulation a nalysis using LS-DYNA software. Finally, the FE model of the vehicle-bridge collision was established, and the dynamic response an alysis of the vehicle-bridge collision was carried out. The results demonstrate that the trapezoidal lattice configuration exhibits superior performance in three key metrics: energy absorption capacity, peak impact force mitigation, and dynamic response characteristics, outperforming both honeycomb and dislocation lattice structures. The proposed flexible collision mitigation device shows significant potential for effective pier protection while substantially reducing vehicular damage during collision events.

cfrp约束纤维增强轻量化混凝土轴压性能:实验研究和机器学习
Understanding the synergistic effects of CFRP confinement and hybrid fibers on the axial compressive behavior of CFRP-confined fiber lightweight concrete (FLWAC) is essential for optimizing material design and enhancing performance. This study systematically an alyzes the influence of CFRP confinement types, fiber types, and volume fraction on the failure modes and stress–strain responses of CFRP-confined FLWAC. An effective confining pressure (fla ) model and a design-oriented constitutive model of CFRP-confined FLWAC were proposed by integrating the fiber bridging effect and CFRP confinement. An ML-based constitutive model incorporating K-fold cross-validation and Bayesian optimization to optimize hyperparameters was developed by combining data-driven and physics-informed approaches. The results indicate that CFRP-confined FLWAC increased compressive strength by 1% to 242% and ultimate strain by 62% to 902%, compared to unconfined FLWAC. As the CFRP layers increased, the f la improved by 254% to 723%, though with a nonlinear diminishing effect. Increasing CFRP strip spacing reduced compressive strength but enhanced deformability. The carbon fibers reduced the hoop strain growth rate, increased the strain efficiency factor (κ ε) of CFRP sheet, and improved CFRP utilization efficiency. The ML-based constitutive model demonstrated high prediction accuracy and generalization capability, effectively overcoming the challenges of s mall sample sizes and modeling complex confined constitutive behaviors.
了解CFRP约束纤维和混杂纤维对CFRP约束纤维轻量化混凝土(FLWAC)轴压性能的协同效应对于优化材料设计和提高性能至关重要。本研究系统分析了CFRP约束类型、纤维类型和体积分数对CFRP约束FLWAC破坏模式和应力应变响应的影响。有效围压(fla)模型和综合纤维桥接效应和CFRP约束FLWAC的设计导向本构模型。结合数据驱动和物理信息方法,开发了基于机器学习的本构模型,该模型结合了K-fold交叉验证和贝叶斯优化来优化超参数。结果表明,与无侧限FLWAC相比,cfrp约束FLWAC的抗压强度提高了1% ~ 242%,极限应变提高了62% ~ 902%。随着CFRP层数的增加,f La提高了254%至723%,尽管存在非线性递减效应。增加CFRP条间距降低了抗压强度,但提高了变形能力。碳纤维降低了环向应变生长速率,提高了应变效率因子(κε),提高了CFRP利用效率。基于机器学习的本构模型具有较高的预测精度和泛化能力,有效地克服了小样本量和模拟复杂受限本构行为的挑战。

基于失效准则的夹层结构多材料及厚度优化
Sandwich structures are essential for lightweight design, but their multi-material composition introduces complexities, particularly additional failure modes that must be addressed during design. Structural optimization provides an efficient means to manage these complexities and accelerate development of high-performance designs. Discrete Material and Thickness Optimization (DMTO) enables such optimization of general multi-material and multi-layered structures with varying thickness. The objective of this work is to extend the DMTO framework for sandwich structure design by incorporating sandwich failure criteria. The problems are parametrized using the Discrete Material and Direct Thickness Optimization (DMDTO), a variant of DMTO, allowing the layer thickness to vary independently in each sandwich face sheet and core. A sandwich failure ana lysis approach that includes key sandwich failure criteria is presented in this context, particularly shear crimping and face wrinkling criteria — novel additions within multi-material and thickness optimization. These criteria are formulated to allow utilizing efficient gradient-based solvers with adjoint design sensitivity an alysis to compute problem gradients. Several numerical examples are solved to demonstrate the approach, including a simplified wind turbine blade main spar that highlights the potential for industrial application of the approach.
夹层结构对于轻量化设计至关重要,但其多材料组成带来了复杂性,特别是在设计过程中必须解决的额外失效模式。结构优化为管理这些复杂性和加速高性能设计的发展提供了有效的手段。离散材料与厚度优化(DMTO)技术可以实现一般的多材料和多层结构的变厚度优化。这项工作的目的是扩展DMTO框架的夹层结构设计纳入夹层失效准则。使用离散材料和直接厚度优化(DMDTO)对问题进行参数化,DMDTO是DMTO的一种变体,允许每个夹层面板和芯层的厚度独立变化。在这种情况下,提出了一种包含关键夹层失效准则的夹层失效分析方法,特别是剪切卷曲和面起皱准则-多材料和厚度优化中的新添加。制定这些标准是为了允许利用有效的基于梯度的求解器和伴随的设计灵敏度分析来计算问题梯度。通过几个数值算例对该方法进行了验证,其中包括一个简化的风力涡轮机叶片主梁,突出了该方法在工业应用中的潜力。

多层纳米复合压敏粘合剂在柔性薄膜应用中增强机械-粘合剂平衡
Designing adjustable adhesive materials to overcome the typical trade-off between adhesive and mechanical properties has been a challenging subject in various industries including flexible electronics that often require thin film adhesives for laminating several constituent layers. In this study, a multi-layered thin-film nanocomposite pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) is synthesized, in which graphene oxide filled nanocomposite adhesive as a core layer and unfilled adhesives as surface layer are formed using a blade coating process. A highly tacky adhesive is used for both core and surface layers to increase adhesive properties, and graphene oxide is exfoliated by microwave irradiation and coated with polydopamine to increase the mechanical properties of core layer. The optimized multi-layered adhesive film with a thickness of 200 μm shows 37 % increase in tensile strength but only 10 % decrease in peel strength compared with the unfilled film, which is clear evidence for overcoming the trade-off referring that single-layered nanocomposite film show 28 % increase in tensile strength but 46 % decrease in peel strength. The reinforcing mechanis m of the multi-layered structure is also investigated by numerical simulation via cohesive zone model using various kinds of measurements including tensile, lap shear and probe tack tests as input data.
设计可调节的胶粘剂材料,以克服胶粘剂和机械性能之间的典型权衡,一直是一个具有挑战性的课题,在各种行业,包括柔性电子,往往需要薄膜胶粘剂层合几个组成层。本研究采用叶片涂布工艺,以氧化石墨烯填充纳米复合胶粘剂为核心层,未填充胶粘剂为表层,合成了一种多层薄膜纳米复合压敏胶(PSA)。芯层和表面层均采用高粘性粘合剂,增加粘接性能,并通过微波辐照去除氧化石墨烯,涂覆聚多巴胺,提高芯层的力学性能。与未填充的纳米复合膜相比,优化后的200 μm多层膜的抗拉强度提高了37 %,剥离强度仅降低了10 %,这明显证明了单层纳米复合膜的抗拉强度提高了28 %,剥离强度降低了46 %。以拉伸、搭接剪切和探钉试验为输入数据,通过黏聚区模型对多层结构的加固机理进行了数值模拟。

采用连续碳纤维嵌入增强3d打印结构吸能的新策略
Negative Poisson’s Ratio (NPR) materials have emerged as a promising frontier in materials science and engineering due to their unique mechanical behavior. While conventional manufacturing methods have limitations in fabricating complex NPR configurations, the advent of additive manufacturing, has revolutionized the fabrication of structures by enabling precise fiber integration. However, the relationship between fiber embedding schemes and the mechanical performance of NPR structures remains inadequately explored. Inspired by bamboo knots, this study proposed a novel fiber embedding strategy and investigated its impact on the mechanical properties of 3D-printed NPR structures. NPR structures with varied embedding patterns were designed and fabricated. The mechanical performance was evaluated through tensile testing and drop-weight impact testing, while internal damage mechanis ms were ana lyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Computed Tomography (CT). The results demonstrated that optimized fiber embedding configurations could effectively improve the energy absorption and structural integrity. Furthermore, the SEM and CT an alysis revealed distinct damage evolution patterns, which provided crucial insights into the relationship between the structural performance and the manufacturing strategy. This research established a foundation for the design optimization of fiber-reinforced NPR structures and elaborated that novel configurations with outstanding performance could be created by using advanced 3D printing techniques.

具有协同药物-电活性的丝网印刷壳聚糖/聚乙烯复合敷料加速糖尿病伤口愈合
Chronic diabetic wounds present considerable therapeutic challenges due to the intricate pathological microenvironments characterized by persistent inflammation, bacterial infection, and impaired tissue regeneration. This study introduces an innovative dressing (Zn/AC-Cur@PPE/CS) fabricated using screen-printing, which synergistically combines electrical stimulation with curcumin-based pharmacological therapy to enhance wound healing. The Zn/AC-Cur@PPE/CS dressing features a porous polyethylene/chitosan (PPE/CS) substrate that exhibits optimal water vapor trans mission (2434.8 g/m2/day) and antifouling properties. Additionally, the printed alternating zinc/activated carbon (Zn/AC) microelectrodes generate redox-mediated electrical fields upon contact with wound exudate and facilitate the curcumin release. As a result, the Zn/AC-Cur@PPE/CS dressing demonstrated exceptional antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus (99.51 %) and Escherichia coli (99.46 %), attributed to a combination of Zn2+ release, electrical field disruption, and curcumin-induced membrane damage. In diabetic murine models, the dressing significantly accelerated wound closure by modulating inflammatory responses, promoting epithelial regeneration, and enhancing collagen deposition. Moreover, the Zn/AC-Cur@PPE/CS dressing exerts a synergistic effect in inhibiting M1 macrophage polarization while simultaneously promoting angiogenesis through the upregulation of CD31. This screen-printable platform presents a scalable approach for developing multifunctional wound dressings with substantial clinical potential for managing diabetic wounds.

多入口透厚流中避免空气夹持:空间标准的分析发展及其在真空注入和释放膜设计中的实验应用
Vacuum-assisted resin infusion is widely used for manufacturing large composite structures. Perforated release films, employed to facilitate distribution media removal, constrain resin flow to discrete entry points, creating converging flow fronts in the laminate and a risk of voids or dry spots. This study develops a spacing criterion that defines the maximum perforation spacing as a function of laminate thickness and fabric permeability. The criterion is designed to balance uniform resin distribution during infusion with the ease of release film removal after curing. The spacing criterion was investigated experimentally using three perforation patterns for the infusion of unidirectional non-crimp fabric layups. Performance was assessed through observations of the wetting patterns during infusion, and visual inspection of defects and optical microscopy on the cured laminates. Compliance with the spacing criterion ensured uniform flow front merging and minimal intra-tow voids, while violations led to increased void density and clustering near the inlets. An additional observation revealed an inverse correlation between perforation density and fibre volume fraction, highlighting a trade-off between flow performance and fibre content in the design of perforated release films, and confirming the practical value of the proposed criterion.
真空辅助树脂灌注广泛用于制造大型复合材料结构。穿孔脱模膜,用于促进分布介质的去除,限制树脂流动到离散的入口点,在层压板中形成会聚流锋,并存在空洞或干点的风险。本研究开发了一个间距标准,该标准将最大穿孔间距定义为层压板厚度和织物渗透性的函数。该标准旨在平衡注射过程中均匀的树脂分布,固化后易于脱模。采用三种穿孔模式对单向无卷曲织物分层的灌注间隔准则进行了实验研究。通过观察输注过程中的润湿模式,以及对固化层压板的缺陷和光学显微镜的目视检查来评估性能。如果符合间距准则,则保证了流锋的均匀合并和最小的束内空隙,而如果不符合间距准则,则会导致空隙密度增加,并在入口附近聚集。另一项观察结果显示,射孔密度与纤维体积分数之间呈负相关,强调了在穿孔脱模膜设计中流动性能和纤维含量之间的权衡,并证实了所提出标准的实用价值。

深海用碳织物/聚醚醚酮复合材料:增强坚固界面
The interrelated effect of seawater permeation and high pressure in the deep sea typically results in interfacial debonding and lubrication failure of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites (CFRPCs) designed for wear components. We propose a vacuum filtration strategy to construct a strong-robust hybrid interfacial architecture on the carbon fabric surface composed of polyetherimide (PEI) as the soft phase and nanodiamond (ND)/MXene as the hard phase. The strong-robust interface enhances the interface adhesion between the carbon fabric and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) resin, alleviating stress concentration and crack propagation and thereby promoting seawater pressure resistance. The developed composite exhibited 28.5 % greater interlaminar shear strength, and the tensile strength improved by 34.9 %. In a simulated deep-sea environment with an ocean depth of 1000 m, the wear rate and seawater absorption values of the developed composite were 38 % and 72 % lower, respectively, then those of the pristine CF/PEEK composite. This study presents experimental results for designing polymer composites with high mechanical properties, lubricating performance and seawater pressure resistance for sliding components in deep-sea applications such as bearings, valves, gears and shaft sleeves

生物纤维增强剪切增强弹性体,在复杂动态载荷下具有增强的抗冲击性
Stretchable fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs), commonly manufactured using high-performance fibers and polymer matrices through processes such as compression molding and pultrusion, have gained widespread application in the high-end equipment manufacturing due to their high specific modulus, regulable mechanical properties, and exceptional durability. Despite these advantages, conventional FRPs often exhibit inadequate impact resistance under complex dynamic loading, limiting their broader engineering deployment. Herein, a fiber-reinforced elastomer composite, comprising a shear-stiffening elastomer (SSE) matrix integrated with high-toughness aramid fibers is reported, in which rate-dependent mechanical reinforcement is leveraged to markedly improve impact resistance. Inspired by the structural and functional characteristics of fibrous cartilage, the composite harnesses synergistic dynamic coupling between the viscoelastic SSE matrix and embedded fibers, enabling efficient energy dissipation across a broad range of strain rates and loading modes. Application experiments further validate the effectiveness of this advanced fiber-reinforced composite in Formula racing contexts, highlighting its potential for next-generation protective systems in demanding environments.

基于机器学习优化的连续纤维增强智能模具的3D打印及其极端成形的退丝脱模策略
The fabrication of complex hollow structures with variable cross-sections and curvatures remains challenging due to the limited deformability and poor demolding performance of conventional rigid molds. This study proposes a novel strategy that integrates 3D printing of continuous fiber-reinforced s mart mold with a dimension-reduction wire-drawing demolding method. A photothermal dual-crosslinked polymer network was developed to enable reversible stiffness modulation, ensuring high rigidity during molding and flexibility during demolding. To optimize fabrication performance, a machine learning framework based on gradient boosting regression was employed to model and a nalyze the influence of key printing parameters on both mechanical strength and dimensional accuracy. Using this approach, s mart mold with a bending strength of 620.71 MPa and a printing error of 2.46% were successfully fabricated. The method was further validated through the forming and demolding of representative geometries, including dumbbell-shaped and variable-section components. Results confirm the feasibility and robustness of the approach under extreme forming conditions. This digitally driven, material–process–structure integrated solution offers broad application potential for the precision manufacturing of complex hollow composite structures in solid rocket motors, aerospace engineering, and architectural fabrication.

氧化石墨烯气凝胶/环氧复合材料的摩擦各向异性行为及其摩擦机理探讨
To address the need for friction-controllable interfaces in intelligent equipment and engineering, an anisotropic graphene oxide (GO) aerogel/epoxy resin composite (GA/EP) was developed in this study, which exhibits anisotropic trends in thermal conductivity, mechanical and tribological properties. The top side (T) of the GA/EP composite exhibits optimal tribological performance with a low coefficient of friction (COF) of 0.063 due to its higher thermal conductivity and elastic modulus than lateral side. The COF of lateral axis (LA) direction is 0.095, while that of lateral radial (LR) direction is 0.660. Molecular dynamics simulation results indicate that the low friction stress remains stable at 20-40 atmospheres (atm) in the LA direction that favors the formation of shear-friendly interfaces by reducing interactions between GA/EP and the counterpart, whereas LR's abrupt stress (50,000-100,000 atm) increase disrupts lubrication. This research meets the demand for differentiated dynamic COF, enhancing the potential of intelligent precision equipment in practical engineering applications.
为了解决智能设备和工程中对摩擦可控界面的需求,本研究开发了一种各向异性氧化石墨烯(GO)气凝胶/环氧树脂复合材料(GA/EP),该材料在导热性能、力学性能和摩擦学性能方面表现出各向异性趋势。由于GA/EP复合材料的热导率和弹性模量高于侧面,其顶部(T)具有较低的摩擦系数(COF),为0.063,具有最佳的摩擦学性能。侧向轴(LA)方向的COF为0.095,侧向径向(LR)方向的COF为0.660。分子动力学模拟结果表明,低摩擦应力在20-40大气压(atm)下保持稳定,有利于通过减少GA/EP与对应物之间的相互作用形成剪切友好界面,而LR的突变应力(50,000-100,000 atm)增加破坏了润滑。该研究满足了差异化动态COF的需求,增强了智能精密装备在实际工程应用中的潜力。

超疏水PDMS/MWCNTs复合材料的水下应变传感激光处理模板一步复 制
Superhydrophobic surfaces can significantly enhance the stability of strain sensors in aqueous environments, however, their surface microstructures are susceptible to mechanical deformation, leading to reduced hydrophobicity under strain. To improve the resistance to liquid interference, a one-step fabrication strategy for superhydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane/multi-walled carbon nanotube (PDMS/MWCNT) composites with tunable surface structures is proposed. Superhydrophobic replicas with corresponding microstructures were fabricated using laser-processed aluminum templates. The properties of anti-liquid interference and sensing stability of the superhydrophobic replicas with different surface structures under stretching was further investigated. Attributed to the self-similarity of the replica surface with hierarchical multiscale structures during stretching and relaxation, the external liquid is isolated from the surface underwater and maintain good hydrophobicity. Even when the stretching ratio reaches 50%, the prepared replica surface still maintains a contact angle of 158° and a rolling-off angle of 6°, demonstrating excellent superhydrophobicity. When applied to underwater sensing, the conductive path of the superhydrophobic composite surface is not affected by the liquid, and the replica still maintains stable sensing performance even at a water depth of 1 m. Furthermore, by incorporating methyl silicone oil into the PDMS prepolymer, the tensile strength of the composite is significantly enhanced, and even when the tensile ratio reached 200%, the surface still maintains excellent superhydrophobicity. In addition, the superhydrophobicity of the composite under acidic and alkaline conditions and the mechanical durability also confirm the potential for sensing applications in harsh environments.
超疏水表面可以显著提高应变传感器在水环境中的稳定性,但其表面微结构容易发生机械变形,导致应变下疏水性降低。为了提高对液体干扰的抵抗能力,提出了一种表面结构可调的超疏水聚二甲基硅氧烷/多壁碳纳米管(PDMS/MWCNT)复合材料的一步制备方法。采用激光加工铝模板制备了具有相应微观结构的超疏水复 制品。进一步研究了不同表面结构的超疏水复 制品在拉伸条件下的抗液体干扰性能和传感稳定性。由于复 制表面在拉伸和松弛过程中具有层次多尺度结构的自相似性,使外部液体与水下表面隔离,并保持良好的疏水性。当拉伸比达到50%时,制备的复模表面仍保持着158°的接触角和6°的滚脱角,表现出优异的超疏水性。当应用于水下传感时,超疏水复合材料表面的导电路径不受液体的影响,即使在水深为1m的情况下,复 制品仍保持稳定的传感性能。此外,在PDMS预聚体中加入甲基硅油后,复合材料的抗拉强度显著提高,即使拉伸比达到200%,其表面仍保持优异的超疏水性。此外,复合材料在酸性和碱性条件下的超疏水性和机械耐久性也证实了在恶劣环境下传感应用的潜力。

激光烧结纳米银-独立可穿戴导电薄膜光聚合物复合材料及其在应变传感器中的应用
We report a UV laser–assisted fabrication method for producing free-standing conductive composite films composed of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) dispersed in a UV-curable photopolymer matrix. In this method, localized laser irradiation simultaneously sinters Ag NPs and photopolymerizes the surrounding resin, enabling direct digital patterning and subsequent clean delamination of the film without solvent etching, masks, or high-temperature post-treatment. By independently tuning laser power, irradiation time, and nanoparticle loading ratio, we achieved control over film thickness (31–92 μm), microstructural morphology (Ag NP cluster size and connectivity), elastic modulus, and electrical resistivity (∼10-6 Ω·m). The process supports pixel-level pattern transfer with ∼170 μm lateral resolution, spatially graded architectures formed by locally varying the laser energy input, and multilayer stacking of patterned conductive films embedded in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The resulting films were integrated into strain sensors and wearable sensors, where the electromechanical response (ΔR/R) was repeatable under cyclic deformation and could be tuned across distinct sensing modes (Ohmic, mechanically cracked, and fully opened crack). Compared with conventional inkjet printing, screen printing, and thermal laser sintering, the proposed approach provides low-temperature, mask-free, and geometrically flexible fabrication of conductive structures that are free-standing, conformal, and compatible with soft substrates. This demonstrates a scalable route toward customizable, mechanically compliant, and application-ready conductive films for flexible and wearable electronics.

高含量电泳沉积羧基石墨烯碳纤维复合材料的机械性能的增强
Graphene-deposited carbon fiber epoxy composites exhibit improved strength and toughness, along with enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, thermal, and electrical properties, making them suitable for various engineering applications. The amount of graphene deposited onto the carbon fiber fabric is a crucial parameter that determines the composite’s properties through interface/interphase modification. One effective approach to improving interfacial/interphase strength is the incorporation of graphene fillers onto the carbon fiber (CF) surface using electrophoretic deposition (EPD). However, a higher graphene content (1.3 wt.%) in the form of film-type deposition on carbon fiber fabric has been shown to enhance the tensile properties but degrade the flexural and ILSS properties of the composite (GCF_V) in comparison to pristine carbon fiber composite (PCF_V), primarily due to void formation during the vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. These voids are likely caused by flow obstruction of the resin due to the presence of film-type graphene between the inter-tow regions of the fabrics. In the current study, the inter-tow regions of graphene-deposited carbon fabric were first impregnated with a thin layer of resin using the hand layup method. The composite was subsequently made by the VARTM process (referred to as GCF_HV). The coating of epoxy was employed to reduce flow obstruction during VARTM by pre-wetting the graphene layers. A combination of carboxyl-functionalized graphene platelets (G-COOH) and magnesium nitrate hexahydrate (Mg(NO3)2·6H2O) was used to achieve a higher graphene content in the form of film-type deposition on the carbon fibers. Surface an alysis of EPD-coated carbon fiber using XPS revealed the presence of Mg/MgO/Mg(OH)2 along with carboxyl graphene. For comparison, pristine carbon fiber composites were also fabricated using the hand layup and VARTM method (PCF_HV). Optical microscopy and CT scan imaging were employed to ana lyze void content, while tensile, flexural, and interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) properties of the GCF_HV composites were compared with those of the GCF_V and PCF_V. The GCF_HV composite exhibited improved tensile, flexural, and ILSS properties compared to the GCF_V composite. Moreover, the PCF_HV composite showed a higher tensile strength than the PCF_V composite, but the flexural strength of both conditions was similar. Furthermore, the GCF_HV composite showed a lower void content than that observed in the GCF_V composite. Additionally, trans mission electron microscope (TEM) ana lysis of the interphase region revealed that in the GCF_V composite, MgO/Mg(OH)2 was diffusely distributed, whereas in the GCF_HV composite, it existed near and around the graphene, and fiber surfaces at the interphase.
石墨烯沉积的碳纤维环氧复合材料具有增强的强度和韧性,以及增强的电磁干扰(EMI)屏蔽、热学和电学性能,使其适用于各种工程应用。石墨烯沉积在碳纤维织物上的数量是决定复合材料界面/界面改性性能的关键参数。提高界面/界面强度的一种有效方法是使用电泳沉积(EPD)将石墨烯填料掺入碳纤维(CF)表面。然而,与原始碳纤维复合材料(PCF_V)相比,在碳纤维织物上以薄膜形式沉积的更高石墨烯含量(1.3 wt.%)已被证明可以增强复合材料(GCF_V)的拉伸性能,但会降低其弯曲和ILSS性能,这主要是由于真空辅助树脂转移成型(VARTM)过程中形成的空隙。这些空隙很可能是由于在织物的束间区域之间存在薄膜型石墨烯而导致树脂流动受阻造成的。在本研究中,首先使用手铺法在石墨烯沉积碳织物的束间区域浸渍一层薄树脂。复合材料随后通过VARTM工艺(称为GCF_HV)制成。环氧树脂涂层通过预润湿石墨烯层来减少VARTM过程中的流动障碍。采用羧基功能化石墨烯薄片(G-COOH)和六水硝酸镁(Mg(NO3)2·6H2O)相结合的方法,以薄膜形式沉积在碳纤维上,从而获得更高的石墨烯含量。利用XPS对epd涂层碳纤维进行表面分析,发现表面存在Mg/MgO/Mg(OH)2和羧基石墨烯。为了进行比较,原始碳纤维复合材料也采用手工铺层和VARTM方法(PCF_HV)制备。采用光学显微镜和CT扫描成像技术分析了GCF_HV复合材料的孔隙含量,并与GCF_V和PCF_V的拉伸、弯曲和层间剪切强度(ILSS)性能进行了比较。与GCF_V复合材料相比,GCF_HV复合材料具有更好的拉伸、弯曲和ILSS性能。此外,PCF_HV复合材料的抗拉强度高于PCF_V复合材料,但两者的抗弯强度相似。此外,GCF_HV复合材料的孔隙含量低于GCF_V复合材料。此外,透射电镜(TEM)分析表明,在GCF_V复合材料中,MgO/Mg(OH)2呈弥漫性分布,而在GCF_HV复合材料中,MgO/Mg(OH)2分布在石墨烯和纤维表面附近和周围。
