Formaldehyde is ubiquitous and harmful to human body. In this study, biochar graphene and composites are prepared by hydrothermal method. According to the material properties of formaldehyde, biochar composites are used to catalyze the two ends of electrode to promote the activation reaction of formaldehyde. By analyzing the characteristics of Fourier transform infrared spectrum image, it is found that the biochar composite Cu(OH)2/C is more conducive to activate formaldehyde, which effectively improves the conductivity of the material and provides a reference for studying the effects of biochar composites on formaldehyde.

Recently, Ti–Al intermetallic compound-reinforced Al matrix composites have attracted increasing attention because of their high specific modulus, strength, and thermal stability. In this study, blended powders of Ti and Al were ball milled and fabricated to in situ Ti–Al intermetallic compound-reinforced Al matrix composites by cold-pressing and hot-pressing sintering. The microstructures and component of core–shell-like structure in reinforcement were observed and analyzed. Material properties including hardness, density, and compression performance were tested and analyzed according to experimental processes. The results indicate that the time point of compression in hot-pressing sintering is crucial to obtain the closed core–shell-like structures. Based on the orthogonal experimental data, entropy methods and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution were combined to select the process parameters (ratio of Ti and Al, milling time, sintering temperature, holding time, and compaction pressure) for the best comprehensive performance of Vickers hardness and compressive yield strength.

In this paper, the effects of coupling location on the properties of bending-twist modes are proposed. The static test and modal analysis of the composite plates are investigated. Initial coupling effects are first obtained from the static test of the plates. The frequencies, nodal lines, and the mode shapes are then studied experimentally and numerically. A new method is proposed to quantitatively describe the bending-twist coupling performance of laminates using modal assurance criterion. The results show that the coupling location in the middle coupled plates show good coupling effects at lower order vibrations. These results also show that the effect of coupling stiffness. The conclusions can be considered as a reference to analyze the coupling phenomenon of large composite wind turbine blades.

Considering the cost in utilization of organic natural filler as an alternative to manmade fiber and mineral inorganic filler-reinforced polymer composite is of great interest. The main reasons for using natural fillers are to reduce the dependence on petroleum-based, nonrenewable resources and are also a smarter use of environment and financial resources. Only limited research works have been done on the mechanical properties, such as tensile, flexural, and impact on particulate organic natural filler-reinforced polymer composite. The effect of particle size, particle loading, and chemical treatment on mechanical properties of organic natural filler-reinforced polymer composites is reviewed and discussed. The results show that a smaller particle size with an aspect ratio higher than its critical value provided better mechanical properties. With the assumption of good adhesion between the particle filler and matrix, mechanical properties increased with volume fraction until it reached its optimum condition or failure. Effective chemical treatments would improve the homogeneity and adhesion of the filler/matrix, thus enhancing the mechanical properties of the composites.
