Metal matrix composites exhibit an obvious decrease in ductility and toughness as strength increases. Inspired by the heterostructure characteristics of biological materials, this study designs a coarse-grained/ultrafine-grained heterostructure. A copper foam/graphene‑copper (Gr-Cu) heterostructure composite is fabricated using a mixing and hot-pressing sintering process. During tensile deformation, the strain gradient introduced by the hetero-deformation between the coarse-grained copper foam and the ultrafine-grained Gr-Cu microregions enhances dislocation storage capacity. Additionally, the coarse-grained region mitigates stress concentration and blunts and deflects crack propagation. The tensile strength of the sintered heterostructure composite reaches 347.5 MPa, with an elongation of 7 %, representing a 54 % and 45 % improvement over the Gr-Cu composite, respectively, thus achieving a synergistic enhancement of strength and toughness.
随着强度的增加,金属基复合材料的延展性和韧性明显降低。受生物材料异质结构特性的启发,本研究设计了一种粗晶/超细晶异质结构。采用混合和热压烧结工艺制备了泡沫铜/石墨烯-铜(Gr-Cu)异质结构复合材料。在拉伸变形过程中,粗晶泡沫铜与超细晶Gr-Cu微区之间的异质变形所引入的应变梯度增强了位错的储存能力。此外,粗粒区域减轻了应力集中,使裂纹扩展变得迟钝和偏转。烧结后的异质结构复合材料的抗拉强度达到347.5 MPa,伸长率为7%,比Gr-Cu复合材料分别提高了54%和45%,实现了强度和韧性的协同增强。

This study explores the effect of straining angle on the piezoresistive behaviour of carbon nanotube (CNT)-cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) composites. By varying the angle between the directions of strain and tunnelling distance, the research investigates the impact on composite strain sensing sensitivity. Additionally, the optimal CNC weight fraction that maximizes the piezoresistive performance under elastic strain is determined using a polynomial interpolation of a validated analytical model. The findings indicate that the ideal case is when the direction of strain is parallel to the average tunnelling distance direction, and 0.5 % is the optimal CNC weight content for elastic strains. These findings may provide valuable insights for designing high-performance and sustainable strain sensors based on CNT-CNC composites.
本研究探讨了应变角对碳纳米管-纤维素纳米晶体复合材料压阻性能的影响。通过改变应变方向与掘进距离的夹角,研究了复合应变传感灵敏度的影响。此外,利用验证的解析模型的多项式插值确定了在弹性应变下使压阻性能最大化的最佳CNC重量分数。结果表明,当应变方向与平均掘进距离方向平行时,最理想的情况是应变方向,弹性应变的CNC重量含量为0.5%。这些发现可能为设计基于CNT-CNC复合材料的高性能和可持续的应变传感器提供有价值的见解。

For the efficient diagnosis of diabetes via exhaled breath analysis, electrochemical acetone sensors based on mixed potential were fabricated using yttria-stabilized zirconia as the solid electrolyte and LaBaSn2O5+δ as the sensing electrode (SE) material. To optimize the sensing property, we varied the sintering temperature to modify the electrocatalytic activity of LaBaSn2O5+δ. Results show that LaBaSn2O5+δ SE sintered at 800 °C exhibited the highest response of −31 mV when exposed to 100 ppm acetone. The detection limit reached as low as 100 ppb, and a sensitivity of −17 mV/decade was achieved across the acetone concentration range of 2–100 ppm. Additionally, the sensor exhibited excellent selectivity, repeatability, and long-term stability. The excellent sensing performance indicates that the developed acetone sensor can be used for the noninvasive diagnosis of diabetes.

We report the synthesis of the AuGa2 intermetallic compound, using a direct reaction of the relevant elements at room temperature and at very low pressure. The pressure needed for the synthesis is ≈ 0.1 GPa, that is at the lower limit of modern large volume presses, routinely used to synthesize other commercially available materials. This study presents a new method of synthesizing AuGa2, which is much more cost efficient and environmentally friendly than the previously used high-temperature synthesis techniques, and will open new possibilities of synthesizing other intermetallic compounds using high-pressure athermal techniques.

A novel method to fabricate elastin/collagen fiber composites: Proof of concept 一种制造弹性蛋白/胶原纤维复合材料的新方法:概念验证

Collagen and elastin are the main fibrous proteins of load-bearing soft tissues, conferring extensibility and strength upon those tissues through their interactions. However, to date, only a few techniques have been developed to fabricate fiber composites made from these proteins. Here we present an original method of fabricating fibrous composites of collagen and elastin and characterize their mechanical behavior. Soluble elastin was electrospun to form a sheet of elastin fibers, which was rolled and submerged in an acidic solution of collagen to permit collagen infiltration. The construct was incubated at 37 °C for 1 h so that collagen fibers self-assembled into the elastin fiber network, forming an elastin/collagen fiber composite. Simultaneous application of static mechanical loading and a chemical cross-linker, genipin, to the construct for an additional 24 h was also performed for fiber alignment. SEM observation revealed that elastin and collagen fibers were well integrated, although effects of mechanical loading to align those fibers were not observed. These elastin/collagen fiber composites possessed mechanical properties between those of collagen and elastin. Tensile properties benefited from collagen, whereas viscoelastic properties were derived from elastin. This method can be applied to development of artificial replacements of load-bearing soft tissues, such as tendon and meniscus.
胶原蛋白和弹性蛋白是承重软组织的主要纤维蛋白,通过它们的相互作用赋予这些组织延展性和强度。然而,到目前为止,只有少数技术被开发出来制造由这些蛋白质制成的纤维复合材料。本文提出了一种制备胶原蛋白和弹性蛋白纤维复合材料的新方法,并对其力学性能进行了表征。可溶性弹性蛋白被电纺成一层弹性蛋白纤维,把它卷起来,浸入酸性的胶原蛋白溶液中,使胶原蛋白浸润。将构建物在37℃下孵育1 h,使胶原纤维自组装成弹性蛋白纤维网络,形成弹性蛋白/胶原纤维复合物。同时应用静态机械载荷和化学交联剂genipin对结构进行额外的24小时,以进行纤维对准。扫描电镜观察显示,弹性蛋白和胶原纤维很好地结合在一起,尽管没有观察到机械载荷对这些纤维排列的影响。弹性蛋白/胶原纤维复合材料具有介于胶原蛋白和弹性蛋白之间的力学性能。拉伸性能得益于胶原蛋白,而粘弹性性能源于弹性蛋白。该方法可应用于开发人工替代承重软组织,如肌腱和半月板。

In this study, Mn4Si7 thermoelectric thin films were deposited on Si(111) and SiO2/Si(111) substrates via magnetron sputtering, and their microstructural as well as electrical temperature-dependent properties were thoroughly investigated. The as-deposited films at room temperature exhibited an amorphous structure, which underwent a phase transition to a polycrystalline state upon annealing at 800 K. This annealing process resulted in a significant reduction of surface defects and the formation of a continuous film composed of nanocrystallites with dimensions in the range of 50–100 nm. The presence of the SiO2 dielectric layer on the substrate induced distinct variations in the film’s microstructure and density, which in turn affected its electrical resistivity and thermoelectric performance. The enhancement of thermoelectric properties observed during the amorphous-to-crystalline phase transition is attributed to the selective scattering mechanism of charge carriers at nanocluster boundaries. These findings provide a critical foundation for achieving high-performance Mn4Si7-based thermoelectric thin films and expand their potential applications in thermoelectric devices, paving the way for the development of next-generation energy conversion materials.
在本研究中,通过磁控溅射在Si(111)和SiO2/Si(111)衬底上沉积了Mn4Si7热电薄膜,并对其微观结构和电学温度依赖性进行了深入研究。在室温下沉积的薄膜呈现出非晶结构,在800 K下退火后,薄膜经历了向多晶态的相变。这种退火工艺显著减少了表面缺陷,并形成了由尺寸在50-100 nm范围内的纳米晶体组成的连续薄膜。衬底上SiO2介电层的存在引起薄膜微观结构和密度的明显变化,从而影响其电阻率和热电性能。在非晶晶相变过程中观察到的热电性能的增强归因于纳米团簇边界上载流子的选择性散射机制。这些发现为实现高性能基于mn4si7的热电薄膜和扩大其在热电器件中的潜在应用提供了关键基础,为下一代能量转换材料的开发铺平了道路。

The influence of austenitizing temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of medium carbon spring steel was systematically studied. Microstructural characterization showed that decreasing the austenitizing temperature from 900 °C to 860 °C effectively refined prior austenite grains from 8.8 μm to 5.3 μm, reduced martensite block thickness from 0.9 μm to 0.7 μm, and increased the fraction of high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) from 70 % to 76 %. Crystallographic variant analysis revealed increased boundary densities for V1&V2, V1&V3(V5), V1&V4, and V1&V6 pairs in the 860 °C sample with refined PAGS, along with elevated frequencies of V1&V3(V5) and V1&V6 pairs classified as HAGBs, consistent with the K-S orientation relationship. These results demonstrate that reducing the austenitizing temperature from 900 °C to 860 °C significantly affects martensite block size, HAGB fraction, and crystallographic variant pairs, leading to enchanced yield strength from 1563 MPa to 1648 MPa and total elongation from 9.3 % to 9.7 %.
系统研究了奥氏体化温度对中碳弹簧钢组织和力学性能的影响。显微组织表征表明,当奥氏体化温度从900℃降低到860℃时,奥氏体晶粒从8.8 μm细化到5.3 μm,马氏体块厚度从0.9 μm减小到0.7 μm,高角度晶界(HAGBs)比例从70%增加到76%。晶体变异分析显示,在860°C的样品中,经过改进的PAGS, V1&V2、V1&V3(V5)、V1&;V4和V1&;V6对的边界密度增加,并且V1&;V3(V5)和V1&;V6对被分类为HAGBs的频率增加,与K-S取向关系一致。结果表明,当奥氏体化温度从900℃降低到860℃时,马氏体块尺寸、HAGB分数和晶体变异对显著提高,屈服强度从1563 MPa提高到1648 MPa,总伸长率从9.3%提高到9.7%。

High-entropy alloys (HEAs), as a new type of multi-element alloy, have become widely studied electrocatalytic materials in recent years due to their excellent catalytic performance. The experimental material used FeCoNiAlMo HEA with equal atomic ratio as the precursor, and three-dimensional nanostructures were formed by dealloying in choline chloride-urea (ChCl-Urea). The results indicate that Fe20Co20Ni20Al20Mo20 HEA is mainly composed of body-centered cubic (BCC) phase and face-centered cubic (FCC) phase, with BCC phase accounting for a larger proportion. Due to the different corrosion resistance of elements and the difference in element content distribution between the two phases, the FCC phase is preferentially corroded, resulting in a three-dimensional porous morphology. This unique structure synergistically reduces the energy barrier during the hydrolysis dissociation process, giving the material a significant advantage in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process. At a current density of 10 mA cm−2, the overpotential of the treated alloy is as low as 312 mV, which is lower than the commercial RuO2-IrO2, and it has lower resistance and higher charge transfer efficiency.
高熵合金(High-entropy alloys, HEAs)作为一种新型的多元素合金,因其优异的催化性能而成为近年来被广泛研究的电催化材料。实验材料以等原子比的FeCoNiAlMo HEA为前驱体,在氯化胆碱-尿素(ChCl-Urea)中进行脱合金处理,形成三维纳米结构。结果表明:Fe20Co20Ni20Al20Mo20 HEA主要由体心立方(BCC)相和面心立方(FCC)相组成,其中BCC相所占比例较大;由于元素的耐蚀性不同以及两相之间元素含量分布的差异,FCC相优先被腐蚀,形成三维多孔形态。这种独特的结构协同降低了水解解离过程中的能垒,使材料在析氧反应(OER)过程中具有显著的优势。在电流密度为10 mA cm−2时,处理后的合金的过电位低至312 mV,低于工业RuO2-IrO2,并且具有更低的电阻和更高的电荷转移效率。
