稳定土复合材料的设计导向预测框架:力学性能和循环行为
This study investigates the mechanical behavior of stabilized earth composites under monotonic and cyclic loading conditions. The lack of reliable and design-oriented models for these materials currently limits their broader application. The proposed framework is developed and validated using Shot-earth (SE), here considered as a representative stabilized earth composite, through an extensive experimental campaign including cyclic loading tests. The results show that SE exhibits mechanical properties comparable to those of low-strength concrete, while providing enhanced performance in flexural and shear resistance. A set of predictive relationships is also proposed, enabling the estimation of key mechanical properties. The proposed models have been assessed against independent experimental data, showing agreement within acceptable error margins and capturing the governing mechanical trends. In addition, the cyclic response of SE is characterized through simplified relationships describing stiffness degradation, providing practical input for structural an alysis. The proposed framework supports the integration of stabilized earth composites into existing design methodologies, offering a practical approach to account for material variability and enabling their use in structural and seis mic applications. The applicability limits associated with the intrinsic variability of excavated soil-based materials are explicitly addressed within the proposed approach, ensuring reliable use in design practice.
研究了稳定土复合材料在单调加载和循环加载条件下的力学性能。目前,这些材料缺乏可靠和面向设计的模型,限制了它们的广泛应用。通过包括循环加载测试在内的广泛实验活动,采用具有代表性的稳定土复合材料——土粒土(SE)开发和验证了所提出的框架。结果表明,SE具有与低强度混凝土相当的力学性能,同时具有增强的抗弯和抗剪性能。还提出了一组预测关系,使关键力学性能的估计。提出的模型已经根据独立的实验数据进行了评估,显示出在可接受的误差范围内的一致性,并捕获了控制力学趋势。此外,通过描述刚度退化的简化关系来表征SE的循环响应,为结构分析提供实用输入。拟议的框架支持将稳定土复合材料整合到现有的设计方法中,提供了一种实用的方法来考虑材料的可变性,并使其能够在结构和地震应用中使用。在提出的方法中明确解决了与挖掘土基材料的内在变异性相关的适用性限制,确保了在设计实践中的可靠使用。

cu -石墨- cnts复合材料摩擦学性能和机理的多变量协同调节
Wind turbine slip ring materials operate under dynamic electrical contact, and their tribological performance is crucial for long-term operational stability. Cu-graphite-CNTs composites, featuring favorable electrical conductivity and self-lubricating capability, are therefore considered promising candidates. This study systematically investigates the synergistic effects of normal load, electrical current, and composition on the current-carrying tribological performance of Cu-graphite-CNTs composites. The results show that the YP7 (0.5 wt% CNTs and 10 wt% graphite) exhibits optimal current-carrying tribological performance when paired with brass: COF is 0.19, ECR is 10.78 mΩ—a reduction of 43% compared to Cu-graphite composites. These improvements clearly demonstrate the significant optimizing effect of carbon nanotubes on the copper–graphite composite system. The study also revealed that once the overload current or normal load exceeds a certain threshold, the surface lubrication film ruptures, leading to intensified friction and wear. This observation reveals the coupling mechanis m between current, load, and material composition. Based on the above results, a dynamic evolution model of lubrication film “formation–stability–rupture” is further developed, providing a theoretical foundation for the design and optimization of electrical contact materials for wind turbine slip rings.
风力发电机滑环材料在动态电接触下工作,其摩擦学性能对其长期稳定运行至关重要。cu -石墨- cnts复合材料具有良好的导电性和自润滑能力,因此被认为是有前途的候选材料。本研究系统地研究了正常负载、电流和成分对cu -石墨- cnts复合材料载流摩擦学性能的协同效应。结果表明,与黄铜复合时,YP7 (0.5 wt% CNTs和10 wt%石墨)表现出最佳的载流摩擦学性能:COF为0.19,ECR为10.78 mΩ-a,比cu -石墨复合材料降低43%。这些改进清楚地证明了碳纳米管对铜-石墨复合体系的显著优化作用。研究还表明,一旦过载电流或正常负载超过一定阈值,表面润滑膜就会破裂,导致摩擦磨损加剧。这一观察结果揭示了电流、负载和材料成分之间的耦合机制。在此基础上,进一步建立了润滑膜“形成-稳定-破裂”的动态演化模型,为风电滑环电接触材料的设计与优化提供了理论依据。

合成极性环氧化异丁烯-异戊二烯橡胶与功能化氧化石墨烯复合材料优越的气体阻隔性能
Isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR) is widely used in medical seals and inner tubes due to its remarkable gas barrier properties. However, the absence of polar groups and limited interfacial affinity toward inorganic fillers limit further improvement in its gas barrier performance. Herein, IIR was epoxidized using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to obtain epoxidized IIR (EIIR). Graphene oxide (GO) was modified using γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) to yield functionalized GO (PSS-mGO). The PSS-mGO was further incorporated into EIIR via solution blending, and the resulting PSS-mGO/EIIR compound was blended with IIR to obtain PSS-mGO/EIIR/IIR composites. The inclusion of EIIR into the IIR matrix introduced epoxy-functionalized segments into the composite, thereby enhancing intermolecular interactions and restricting segmental relaxation. Consequently, the nitrogen permeability of the EIIR/IIR composites decreased by 42.1% relative to that of the IIR composite at an EIIR/IIR mass ratio of 1:9. Further incorporation of PSS-mGO improved filler dispersion and formed a well-developed filler network. A more tortuous diffusion pathway for gas molecules was created, reducing nitrogen permeability by up to 52.2% relative to that of the IIR composite. The results demonstrate that combining EIIR and functionalized GO is an effective strategy for improving the gas barrier performance of IIR composites.
异丁烯-异戊二烯橡胶(IIR)因其优异的气体阻隔性能而广泛应用于医用密封和内胎中。然而,极性基团的缺乏和对无机填料的界面亲和力有限,限制了其隔气性能的进一步提高。本文采用间氯过氧苯甲酸对IIR进行环氧化,得到环氧化IIR (EIIR)。用γ-氨基丙基三乙氧基硅烷和聚苯乙烯磺酸钠对氧化石墨烯(GO)进行改性,制得功能化氧化石墨烯(PSS- mgo)。通过溶液共混将PSS-mGO进一步掺入EIIR中,得到的PSS-mGO/EIIR化合物与IIR共混,得到PSS-mGO/EIIR/IIR复合材料。在IIR基体中加入EIIR,将环氧功能化的片段引入复合材料中,从而增强分子间相互作用,限制片段弛豫。结果表明,当EIIR/IIR质量比为1:9时,EIIR/IIR复合材料的氮渗透率比IIR降低了42.1%。PSS-mGO的进一步掺入改善了填料的分散性,形成了发育良好的填料网络。与IIR复合材料相比,该材料为气体分子创造了更曲折的扩散路径,使氮气渗透率降低了52.2%。结果表明,将EIIR与功能化氧化石墨烯相结合是提高IIR复合材料隔气性能的有效策略。

La掺杂诱导过渡金属钼酸盐/N掺杂中空碳泡沫中的缺陷偶极子,用于轻量化电磁波吸收
Electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials play a vital role in mitigating electromagnetic pollution and advancing stealth and protection technologies. In this study, flake-like transition metal molybdates (RMoO4, R=Ni, Co) were loaded onto a three-dimensional N-doped hollow carbon foam (NCF) to construct electromagnetic wave absorbing (EMA) composite materials. Combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations with CST simulations shows that La doping can enriches Ni3+/Co3+ and create charge inhomogeneity with local dipoles, thereby enhancing dielectric loss. It also reduces the density of states near the Fermi level, suppresses continuous conductive pathways, and improves impedance matching. At a low filler loading (4 wt%), La-doped CoMoO4/NCF (LCM/NCF), exhibited extremely low reflection loss (−52.40 dB) and broad effective absorption bandwidth (6.08 GHz). Notably, under near infrared irradiation, the surface temperature of the composite can rapidly rise to above 125 °C within 24 s. In simulated seawater, LCM/NCF exhibits outstanding corrosion resistance. This work provides an innovative strategy for designing lightweight, high-efficiency electromagnetic wave absorbers.
电磁波吸波材料在减轻电磁污染、推进隐身防护技术等方面发挥着重要作用。本研究将片状过渡金属钼酸盐(RMoO4, R=Ni, Co)加载到三维掺n中空泡沫碳(NCF)上,构建电磁波吸收(EMA)复合材料。密度泛函理论(DFT)计算与CST模拟相结合表明,La掺杂可以富集Ni3+/Co3+,并与局部偶极子产生电荷不均匀性,从而提高介电损耗。它还降低了费米能级附近的态密度,抑制了连续的导电通路,并改善了阻抗匹配。在低填充量(4 wt%)下,掺la的CoMoO4/NCF (LCM/NCF)具有极低的反射损耗(- 52.40 dB)和宽的有效吸收带宽(6.08 GHz)。值得注意的是,在近红外照射下,复合材料的表面温度可以在24 s内迅速上升到125℃以上。在模拟海水中,LCM/NCF表现出优异的耐腐蚀性。这项工作为设计轻量化、高效率的电磁波吸收器提供了一种创新策略。

结构吸波器的分形预测理论框架与设计策略
Electromagnetic functional metamaterials with multi-scale configurations are widely used in the fields of electromagnetic compatibility, radiation protection and radar stealth. However, conventional trans mission line theory is unable to establish an an alytical wave impedance model for complex geometric metamaterials, which severely restricts the performance prediction and forward design of broadband microwave-absorbing structures. Herein, we propose a practical predictive theoretical framework for lossy dielectric metamaterial absorbers based on fractal geometry and material-structure coupling effects, which accurately predicts the absorption peak positions, and reveals the intrinsic mechanis ms of absorption peak formation and bandwidth expansion. Three typical fractal metamaterial absorbers with the thickness of 10 mm, including gradient honeycomb, multi-layer stepped stack, and multi-layer nested square frame structures, were fabricated via FDM 3D printing technology, exhibiting excellent microwave absorption performance in the ultra-wide frequency range of 2-40 GHz,. Compared with the conventional trans mission line theory, the proposed fractal-modified theory significantly reduces the prediction error of electromagnetic performance in the high-frequency bands with the accuracy maximally improved by 64.4%. This work provides a robust theoretical tool and new design strategy for the forward design of ultra-broadband electromagnetic functional metamaterials.
具有多尺度结构的电磁功能超材料在电磁兼容、辐射防护和雷达隐身等领域有着广泛的应用。然而,传统的传输线理论无法建立复杂几何超材料的解析波阻抗模型,严重制约了宽带吸波结构的性能预测和正演设计。本文提出了一种基于分形几何和材料-结构耦合效应的实用介质超材料吸波预测理论框架,能够准确预测吸波峰位置,揭示了吸波峰形成和带宽扩展的内在机制。采用FDM 3D打印技术制备了梯度蜂窝结构、多层阶梯堆叠结构和多层嵌套方形框架结构三种厚度为10 mm的典型分形超材料吸波体,在2-40 GHz超宽频率范围内具有优异的微波吸收性能。与传统传输线理论相比,本文提出的分形修正理论显著降低了高频频段电磁性能的预测误差,精度最高提高64.4%。这项工作为超宽带电磁功能超材料的正向设计提供了强有力的理论工具和新的设计策略。

电激活快速自愈和机械坚固的超分子聚合物-石墨烯纳米复合材料
Self-healing supramolecular materials are capable of autonomous repair via reversible noncovalent interactions but exhibit a trade-off between mechanical robustness and healing efficiency, which limits practical deployment. To address this gap, we prepare graphene-filled ureidopyrimidinone–telechelic polycarbonate supramolecular nanocomposite (UPC-G) exhibiting high mod uli and rapid electrical self-healability. The well-developed percolated graphene network formed at high filler loadings notably causes a transformation from ductility to stiffness and dramatically increases electrical conductivity, enabling efficient and spatially uniform electrical heating. As a result, UPC-G nanocomposite rapidly reached target healing temperatures and underwent superior self-healing (maximum healing efficiency = 98%) within 1 min under an applied voltage of 12 V despite its restricted chain mobility and high modulus. This healing behavior is highly repeatable over three cycles, and the healed material can withstand a mechanical load of 5 kg for 24 h.
自修复超分子材料能够通过可逆的非共价相互作用进行自主修复,但在机械稳健性和修复效率之间表现出权衡,这限制了实际应用。为了解决这一问题,我们制备了石墨烯填充的脲嘧啶远旋聚碳酸酯超分子纳米复合材料(UPC-G),具有高模量和快速的电自愈性。在高填料负载下形成的发育良好的渗透石墨烯网络显著地导致了从延性到刚度的转变,并显着提高了导电性,实现了高效和空间均匀的电加热。结果表明,尽管UPC-G纳米复合材料的链迁移率有限,模量高,但在12 V的施加电压下,UPC-G纳米复合材料在1分钟内迅速达到目标愈合温度,并具有优异的自愈合效率(最大愈合效率为98%)。这种愈合行为在三个周期内高度可重复,并且愈合的材料可以承受5kg的机械载荷24小时。

具有磁电和光热刺 激的多功能可生物降解纳米纤维膜调控神经干细胞行为
Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts neural signaling trans mission, resulting in permanent motor and sensory dysfunction. Neural stem cell (NSC) therapy emerges as a promising strategy for SCI repair and functional reconstruction due to its multidirectional differentiation capacity. However, the injured microenvironment severely restricts the therapeutic potential of transplanted NSCs, manifesting as insufficient proliferation, limited neuronal differentiation, and impaired migration toward the lesion core, thereby largely compromising the overall therapeutic outcomes. Here, a flexible and biodegradable PLLA/Fe3O4@PDA nanofiber membrane with dual magnetoelectric (ME) and photothermal (PT) responsiveness was rationally designed and fabricated. The membrane possesses a three-dimensional micro-nano structure that mimics the extracellular matrix, providing a favorable physical microenvironment for NSC growth. The magnetostrictive effect of Fe3O4 synergizes with the intrinsic piezoelectric property of PLLA to realize controllable ME stimulation. Meanwhile, the incorporated PLLA/Fe3O4@PDA enables the membrane with high-efficiency near-infrared PT stimulation. In vitro results verified that the nanofiber membrane remarkably facilitates the proliferation, migration and neural differentiation of NSCs under ME or PT stimulation. This degradable multifunctional responsive membrane offers an innovative and promising strategy to advance NSC-based therapeutic approaches for SCI repair.
脊髓损伤(SCI)破坏神经信号传递,导致永久性运动和感觉功能障碍。神经干细胞治疗因其多向分化能力而成为脊髓损伤修复和功能重建的一种有前景的治疗策略。然而,受损的微环境严重限制了移植的NSCs的治疗潜力,表现为增殖不足,神经元分化受限,向病变核心迁移受阻,从而在很大程度上影响了整体治疗效果。本文合理设计和制备了一种具有双磁电(ME)和光热(PT)响应性的柔性可生物降解PLLA/Fe3O4@PDA纳米纤维膜。该膜具有模拟细胞外基质的三维微纳结构,为NSC生长提供了良好的物理微环境。Fe3O4的磁致伸缩效应与PLLA的固有压电特性协同作用,实现可控的ME刺 激。同时,集成的PLLA/Fe3O4@PDA使膜具有高效的近红外PT刺 激功能。体外实验结果证实,纳米纤维膜能显著促进ME或PT刺 激下NSCs的增殖、迁移和神经分化。这种可降解的多功能反应膜为推进基于nsc的脊髓损伤修复治疗方法提供了一种创新和有前途的策略。

碳纤维复合材料的电流传导和温度演化:交叉角和加载方式的交互影响
The electrical and thermal behaviors of angle-ply composites were jointly affected by the cross angle and loading mode. Here we report the electrical and thermal properties of angle-ply composites (0°, 45°, 90°) under different loading modes (point, localized area, and face loading). A homogenized model was established to an alyze the interactive effect of cross angles and loading modes on electrical current conduction and temperature evolution. We found that under the tested conditions, the interfacial conductivities and in-plane current flow were affected by the cross angle. Increasing the loading area tended to reduce the nonuniform distribution of electrical current caused by the cross angle. The cross angle affected the current density distribution, which in turn determined the heat generation and conduction. Increasing the loading area reduced the non-uniformity of the temperature distribution. The current conduction behavior depended on the fiber orientation difference between two adjacent layers. The temperature distribution was closely related to the fiber orientation.
交叉角和加载方式共同影响角层复合材料的电学和热学行为。在这里,我们报告了角层复合材料(0°,45°,90°)在不同加载模式(点加载,局部区域加载和面加载)下的电学和热性能。建立了均匀化模型,分析了交叉角和加载方式对电流传导和温度演化的交互影响。我们发现在测试条件下,界面电导率和面内电流受交叉角的影响。增大负载面积有利于减小因交叉角引起的电流不均匀分布。交叉角影响电流密度分布,电流密度分布又决定了热的产生和传导。增大加载面积减小了温度分布的不均匀性。电流传导行为取决于相邻两层之间的纤维取向差。温度分布与纤维取向密切相关。
