High-performance thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are a class of specialty polymers with exceptional mechanical properties, rubber-like elasticity, excellent processability and recyclability, and an excellent price-performance ratio that make them ideal for a variety of industrial applications. In this work, a successful method of creating high-performance TPV using a ternary blend of poly(methyl methacrylate) modified natural rubber (MGNR), poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), and fluorocarbon elastomer (FKM) was employed. Combining NR known for its exceptional rubber elasticity and resilience, with fluoropolymers, known for their exceptional chemical resistance and thermal stability, resulted in materials with a synergistic blend of properties. The developed PVDF/FKM/MGNR blend showed higher elasticity, tensile strength, and elongation at break than PVDF/FKM and PVDF/MGNR blends because the ternary blend had greatly improved phase morphology and compatibility between the three phases. The domain size in the ternary blend was smaller than 150 nm. The ternary blends also exhibited excellent thermal properties, where melting and crystallization temperatures were reduced significantly with MGNR due to possible dipole-dipole interactions. At the same time, the oil resistance and shape memory behavior of PVDF/FKM/MGNR were improved at an appropriate blend ratio. The ternary TPVs demonstrated good shape fixities (90–100 %) and shape recoveries (70–80 %). This research offers valuable insights into the design of high-performance thermoplastic elastomers based on natural rubber, which have excellent mechanical properties, solvent resistance, and potential for intelligent and lightweight application.
高性能热塑性硫化弹性体(TPV)是一类特种聚合物,具有优异的机械性能、类似橡胶的弹性、出色的可加工性和可回收性,以及出色的性价比,是各种工业应用的理想选择。在这项工作中,采用了一种成功的方法,利用聚(甲基丙烯酸甲酯)改性天然橡胶(MGNR)、聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)和碳氟化合物弹性体(FKM)的三元共混物制造高性能热塑性硫化弹性体。天然橡胶以其优异的橡胶弹性和回弹性著称,而含氟聚合物则以其优异的耐化学性和热稳定性著称,两者的结合使材料具有协同混合的特性。与 PVDF/FKM 和 PVDF/MGNR 混合物相比,所开发的 PVDF/FKM/MGNR 混合物具有更高的弹性、拉伸强度和断裂伸长率,这是因为三元共混物大大改善了三相之间的相形态和相容性。三元共混物中的畴尺寸小于 150 nm。三元共混物还具有优异的热性能,由于可能存在偶极-偶极相互作用,MGNR 的熔化和结晶温度显著降低。同时,在适当的混合比例下,PVDF/FKM/MGNR 的耐油性和形状记忆性能也得到了改善。三元热塑性硫化弹性体具有良好的形状固定性(90%-100%)和形状恢复性(70%-80%)。这项研究为基于天然橡胶的高性能热塑性弹性体的设计提供了宝贵的见解,这种弹性体具有优异的机械性能、耐溶剂性以及智能化和轻质应用的潜力。

The strength of a printed polymeric component obtained by a material extrusion additive manufacturing technology is highly affected by the bonding quality between the deposited filaments (beads). Filament bonding is usually associated with material temperature and can be observed between layers (interlayer) and in the same layer (intralayer). The latter is not much explored in the literature and is rarely studied when the material extrusion must be resumed to complete a layer filling. A non-continuous tool path is usually found in filling complex part geometries with a raster strategy, where the area to be filled is divided into more than one continuous raster segment (CRS). The contact between the filaments of two adjacent CRSs (at 100 % density), defined as resumed contact (RC) for simplicity, can be affected by a weak bonding effect. This work aimed to experimentally study this effect by varying the time taken to resume printing, causing the temperature to drop at the RC, and measuring the influence on bonding strength. The bead width at the resumed extrusion was also analyzed. The results show that the influence of time taken to resume printing (contact temperature) on bonding strength was not significant for the part geometry tested and printer used. Notwithstanding, material failure under tensile load always occurred in the RC region. The results also showed some bead width variation due to under extrusion at the start of the extrusion, which can reduce the contact area. Therefore, the weak intralayer bonding at the RC is a fact, and it is affected, among others, by a combination of cold bonding and any contact area reduction due to under extrusion at the start of the extrusion. This issue must be carefully considered when printing an end-use part where the material strength is paramount.
通过材料挤压增材制造技术获得的印刷聚合物部件的强度在很大程度上受到沉积长丝(珠)之间的粘合质量的影响。长丝粘合通常与材料温度有关,可在层间(层间)和同层(层内)观察到。文献中对后者的研究不多,当材料挤出必须重新开始以完成层间填充时,对后者的研究也很少。非连续刀具路径通常出现在采用光栅策略填充复杂几何形状的零件时,在这种情况下,需要填充的区域被划分为多个连续光栅段(CRS)。两个相邻 CRS 的细丝之间的接触(密度为 100%)(为简单起见定义为恢复接触 (RC))可能会受到弱粘合效应的影响。这项工作旨在通过改变恢复印刷的时间,使 RC 处的温度下降,并测量其对粘合强度的影响,从而对这种效应进行实验研究。此外,还对恢复挤压时的珠宽进行了分析。结果表明,对于所测试的部件几何形状和所使用的打印机,恢复打印所需的时间(接触温度)对粘合强度的影响并不显著。尽管如此,材料在拉伸载荷下的失效总是发生在 RC 区域。结果还显示,由于挤出开始时挤出量不足,珠子宽度会有一些变化,这可能会减小接触面积。因此,RC 处的层内结合力较弱是一个事实,除其他因素外,它还受到冷结合力和挤出开始时挤出不足导致接触面积减少的综合影响。在印刷材料强度至关重要的最终使用部件时,必须仔细考虑这一问题。

Poly (4-hydroxybutyrate) (P4HB) is a marine biodegradable polyester with promising applications. Unfortunately, the crystallization and melting behavior of P4HB has not been systematically studied, due to the rapid crystallization near room temperature. In particular, the characterization of crystallization and melting of P4HB by fast scanning calorimetry (FSC) has not been reported previously. In this article, the common differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and FSC were performed to investigate the crystallization and melting behavior of P4HB. The results indicated that melt crystallization facilitated the formation of fragmented crystals rather than complete spherulites. Furthermore, the P4HB exhibited a broad crystallization temperature range from −19 °C to 49 °C, and the crystallization and melting of P4HB was notably affected by the temperature, in addition to the heating or cooling rates. The higher crystallization temperature and lower cooling rates facilitated the formation of well-developed crystals. Remarkably, the P4HB is found to be unable to crystallize at heating or cooling rates exceeding 6 K/s. Moreover, double melting peaks could be discerned at moderate isothermal crystallization temperature exhibiting faster crystallization rate. The findings will provide theoretical guidance on how to optimize the processing parameters in modulating the crystallization of P4HB.
聚(4-羟基丁酸)(P4HB)是一种海洋生物可降解聚酯,具有广阔的应用前景。遗憾的是,由于 P4HB 在室温附近快速结晶,其结晶和熔化行为尚未得到系统研究。特别是用快速扫描量热法(FSC)表征 P4HB 的结晶和熔化,此前还未见报道。本文采用常见的差示扫描量热仪(DSC)、偏振光学显微镜(POM)、原子力显微镜(AFM)和快速扫描量热仪(FSC)来研究 P4HB 的结晶和熔化行为。结果表明,熔融结晶促进了碎片晶体的形成,而非完整球状晶体的形成。此外,P4HB 的结晶温度范围很广,从 -19 °C 到 49 °C,而且 P4HB 的结晶和熔化除了受加热或冷却速率的影响外,还受到温度的显著影响。较高的结晶温度和较低的冷却速率有利于形成发育良好的晶体。值得注意的是,在加热或冷却速率超过 6 K/s 时,P4HB 无法结晶。此外,在中等等温结晶温度下可发现双熔峰,表明结晶速度更快。这些发现将为如何优化加工参数以调节 P4HB 的结晶提供理论指导。

The composite modified double-base propellants (CMDB) were experimentally investigated for mechanical behavior under wide tension strain rate loading from 0.0001 s−1 to 2500 s−1, based on Instron mechanical machine and modified Hopkinson tension bar technique. Stress-strain curves were obtained for its strain rate effect and integrality evaluation. The results indicated that CMDB presents high rate-dependence with flow stress distinctly increase as loading strain rate increasing. A succinct constitutive formulation is established with only five parameters, to characterize well the rate-dependence and strain hardening behavior. The fracture morphologies were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, and it is indicated that they are also rate-dependent: the cavitation and matrix damage induced from matrix deformation work less but more RDX particles fractures with strain rate increasing. Equivalent unit cell model with brittle cracking was established to simulate the mechanical behavior and failure characteristics of CMDB. The results reveal that with increasing loading strain rates, CMDB presents a tough-brittle transition, with less cavitation and matrix damage induced by matrix deformation, while more RDX particles fracture. Series of simulated results confirm qualitatively the experimental observations, and the obtained stress contours facilitate to validate the observed characteristics and propose reasonable mechanisms.
基于 Instron 机械设备和改进的霍普金森拉杆技术,对复合改性双基推进剂(CMDB)在 0.0001 s-1 至 2500 s-1 宽拉伸应变速率加载下的机械行为进行了实验研究。应变速率效应和整体性评估的应力-应变曲线已经获得。结果表明,CMDB 具有很高的速率依赖性,随着加载应变速率的增加,流动应力明显增加。仅用五个参数就建立了简洁的构成公式,很好地描述了速率依赖性和应变硬化行为。通过扫描电子显微镜对断裂形态进行了研究,结果表明断裂形态也与速率有关:随着应变速率的增加,基体变形引起的空化和基体破坏作用减小,但 RDX 颗粒断裂增加。建立了具有脆性开裂的等效单元格模型,以模拟 CMDB 的力学行为和失效特征。结果表明,随着加载应变率的增加,CMDB呈现出韧-脆过渡,基体变形引起的空化和基体破坏较少,而更多的RDX颗粒断裂。一系列模拟结果定性地证实了实验观察结果,获得的应力等值线有助于验证观察到的特征并提出合理的机制。

The migration behavior of nitrate ester-plasticized polyether (NEPE) propellant components significantly impacts safety. Experimentally observing the migration process is challenging and time-consuming. This study employed molecular dynamics (MD) methods to simulate a molecular model of the NEPE propellant/liner interface layer, enabling the prediction of component migration behavior. We visualized the migration process of all propellant components and studied the interface layer components' migration patterns, diffusion coefficients, and concentration gradient distributions. The contents of migrated components of the propellant and liner at different accelerated aging times at 70 °C were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the simulation patterns were compared with experimental observations. The results indicate that the migrated components in the propellant mainly consist of nitrate esters (Nitroglycerin, abbreviated as NG, and Butanetriol Trinitrate, abbreviated as BTTN), stabilizers (NMethylnitroaniline, abbreviated as MNA, and 2-Nitrodiphenylamine, abbreviated as 2-NDPA), and solid component (Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine, abbreviated as RDX). The migration process is primarily dominated by the substantial migration of nitrate esters, which is a key factor contributing to the degradation of propellant performance during storage. The migration process can be divided into three stages: swift migration, steady slow migration, and migration equilibrium. The diffusion coefficients are ranked from most significant to most minor as NG > BTTN > RDX > MNA > 2-NDPA. Three migration stages consistent with the simulation process were observed using HPLC, and the migration behavior of nitrate esters aligned with simulation patterns. Our designed full-component model can qualitatively predict component migration behavior. Additionally, a faster diffusion coefficient does not necessarily lead to a greater amount of migration. We employed MD simulations combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations to explain this phenomenon and found that intermolecular interactions may influence the diffusion coefficient. At the same time, the migration amount is highly correlated with molecular polarity. Therefore, increasing the molecular polarity difference between easily migrating components and liner materials is a beneficial strategy for slowing the migration process and enhancing the storage safety of propellants.
硝酸酯塑化聚醚(NEPE)推进剂成分的迁移行为对安全性有重大影响。对迁移过程进行实验观察既具有挑战性又耗费时间。本研究采用分子动力学(MD)方法模拟了 NEPE 推进剂/衬垫界面层的分子模型,从而能够预测组件的迁移行为。我们将所有推进剂成分的迁移过程可视化,并研究了界面层成分的迁移模式、扩散系数和浓度梯度分布。我们使用高效液相色谱法(HPLC)测定了推进剂和衬垫在 70 ℃ 下不同加速老化时间的迁移成分含量,并将模拟模式与实验观察结果进行了比较。结果表明,推进剂中迁移的成分主要包括硝酸酯类(硝化甘油,简称 NG 和丁三醇三硝酸酯,简称 BTTN)、稳定剂(甲基硝基苯胺,简称 MNA 和 2-硝基二苯胺,简称 2-NDPA)和固体成分(六氢-1,3,5-三硝基-1,3,5-三嗪,简称 RDX)。迁移过程主要以硝酸酯的大量迁移为主,这是导致推进剂在储存期间性能下降的一个关键因素。迁移过程可分为三个阶段:快速迁移、稳定缓慢迁移和迁移平衡。扩散系数从大到小依次为 NG > BTTN > RDX > MNA > 2-NDPA。使用高效液相色谱法观察到与模拟过程一致的三个迁移阶段,硝酸酯的迁移行为与模拟模式一致。我们设计的全组分模型可以定性地预测组分迁移行为。此外,扩散系数越快并不一定导致迁移量越大。我们采用 MD 模拟结合密度泛函理论(DFT)计算来解释这一现象,发现分子间的相互作用可能会影响扩散系数。同时,迁移量与分子极性高度相关。因此,增加易迁移成分与内衬材料之间的分子极性差异是减缓迁移过程和提高推进剂储存安全性的有效策略。

The mechanical robustness of structural adhesives as represented by phenol formaldehyde (PF) adhesive is vital for the safe service of engineered wood/bamboo products facing environmental aggressors. Here, fungal decay-provoked hazard towards the mechanical robustness of PF adhesive was demonstrated, which was usually overlooked in previous works. Obtained results proved that the white rot (Trametes versicolor, T. versicolor) and brown rot (Gloeophyllum trabeum, G. trabeum) fungus can both grow on the surface of cured commercial PF adhesive. An evident oxidization can only be observed on the T. versicolor-decayed PF adhesive, as along with the appearance of 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,4-benzenediol after decay. It further demonstrated the ruptured and oxidized cross-linking structures. The evident degradation of PF adhesive can be assigned to the favored activity of laccase (40.9 U mL−1) and lignin peroxidase (60.5 U mL−1) during the decay of T. versicolor. The elastic modulus and hardness of PF adhesive reduced by over 31.6 % and 50.2 %, respectively, which is also accompanied by the elevation in the creep deformation (45.4 %), after a 40-day T. versicolor decay. This work revealed the decay-sensitivity of PF adhesive, and the cleavage of cross-linking structures is the major trigger for the degraded mechanical robustness of PF adhesive after decay.
以苯酚甲醛(PF)粘合剂为代表的结构粘合剂的机械坚固性对于面对环境侵害的工程木/竹产品的安全使用至关重要。在此,我们展示了真菌腐烂对苯酚甲醛胶粘剂机械坚固性的危害,这在以往的研究中通常被忽视。研究结果证明,白腐菌(Trametes versicolor,T. versicolor)和褐腐菌(Gloeophyllum trabeum,G. trabeum)都能在固化的商用聚苯乙烯粘合剂表面生长。只有在 T. versicolor 腐烂的 PF 粘合剂上才能观察到明显的氧化现象,腐烂后还会出现 2,6-双(1,1-二甲基乙基)-1,4-苯二酚。这进一步证明了交联结构的破裂和氧化。PF 粘合剂的明显降解可归因于 T. versicolor 腐烂过程中漆酶(40.9 U mL-1)和木质素过氧化物酶(60.5 U mL-1)的活性。经过 40 天的 T. versicolor 腐化后,PF 粘合剂的弹性模量和硬度分别降低了 31.6% 和 50.2%,蠕变变形也增加了 45.4%。这项工作揭示了 PF 粘合剂对腐烂的敏感性,交联结构的裂解是 PF 粘合剂在腐烂后机械坚固性下降的主要诱因。

The objective was to evaluate the impact of repeated exposure to hyperbaric hydrogen (90 MPa; 30 °C) and pressure release on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of PA11. Samples were analyzed after 1, 2, 5 and 10 cycles, by SAXS, WAXS, DMA, DSC, and a series of mechanical tests with variable triaxiality ratio. The most visible change in the residual state after desorption was a stiffening of the amorphous phase. It mainly originated from the first cycle, especially the first pressurization. The crystalline phase was slightly affected and no evidence of nano-voiding was brought in the residual state up to 10 cycles. Similar analyses were conducted during the first cycle's desorption transient. They showed a reversible plasticizing effect and a trend of nano-voiding vanishing after desorption but might promote damage upon further triaxial loading.
目的是评估反复暴露于高压氢气(90 兆帕;30 °C)和压力释放对 PA11 的微观结构和机械行为的影响。通过 SAXS、WAXS、DMA、DSC 和一系列三轴比可变的机械测试,对 1、2、5 和 10 个循环后的样品进行了分析。解吸后残余状态最明显的变化是无定形相变硬。这主要源于第一个循环,尤其是第一次加压。结晶相受到的影响较小,在 10 个循环之前的残余状态中没有出现纳米空泡的迹象。在第一个循环的解吸瞬态期间也进行了类似的分析。结果表明,在解吸后,纳米空泡呈可逆塑化效应和消失趋势,但在进一步三轴加载时可能会造成损坏。

This experimental work presents a comparative study on the mechanical behaviour of novel infusible methylmethacrylate matrix (Elium®) composites reinforced with different types of high-performance fibres. A vacuum-assisted resin infusion process was employed to fabricate the laminates using carbon, basalt, Kevlar®, and high molecular weight polyethene (UHMWPE) fibres. Flexural and interlaminar shear properties of the composites were evaluated. Test results revealed that carbon fibre composites had superior flexural strength, stiffness and interlaminar shear stress as compared to the other composites tested. Further, composites containing Kevlar and UHMWPE fibres demonstrated significantly higher flexural strains to failure. Post-testing, specimens were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Microscopy revealed possible interfacial interaction differences based on the reinforcement fibre type, which was further confirmed by an analytical approach for analysing the flexural behaviour of various types of composites. The sequence of damage progression in specimens was also analysed.

Injection molding is widely used in the plastics manufacturing industry. However, there is a need to better understand and calculate the bonding strength between the injection-molded part and the insert, especially for semi-crystalline polymers. The weldability of semi-crystalline polymers differs from that of amorphous polymers. Semi-crystalline polymers cannot heal until they reach their glass transition temperature, unlike amorphous polymers, as the crystalline particles prevent molecule motion below this temperature. To account for this difference, we have developed a method that takes into effect the crystalline parts of semi-crystalline polymers in the calculation of healing. We used polypropylene (PP) in our experiments, and calculated healing with a new method based on the method we previously described for the healing of amorphous polymers.

注塑成型广泛应用于塑料制造业。然而,有必要更好地了解和计算注塑成型部件与镶件之间的粘接强度,尤其是半结晶聚合物的粘接强度。半结晶聚合物的可焊性不同于无定形聚合物。与无定形聚合物不同,半结晶聚合物在达到玻璃化转变温度之前无法愈合,因为结晶颗粒会阻止分子在此温度以下的运动。为了解释这种差异,我们开发了一种方法,在计算愈合时考虑到半结晶聚合物的结晶部分。我们在实验中使用了聚丙烯 (PP),并根据我们之前描述的无定形聚合物愈合方法,用一种新方法计算了愈合。

Complementary structural characterization methods are useful for studying the hierarchical cellular morphology of polymer foams. In this study, we employed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) to characterize the hierarchical cellular morphology of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) foams. The polymer foams were prepared using pure CO2 gas and CO2–chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22) gas mixtures as blowing agents. Depending on the type of polymer and HCFC-22 concentration, hierarchical cellular structures consisting of nanocells, microcells, and macrocells were obtained. The size distribution of the nanocells was determined by high-magnification SEM, while the size, shape, and spatial distribution of the microcells and macrocells in three dimensions were determined by micro-CT. Moreover, a well-designed micro-CT experiment enabled a brightness comparison between the foams and relative local density mapping of the foams based on the brightness. The results clearly showed the formation of a dense skin layer at the air interface of both PMMA and PS foams and dense matrix around the large macrocells in the PMMA foams. Thus, combining SEM and micro-CT provides a deeper understanding of the formation mechanism of the hierarchical cellular structure of polymer foams.
互补的结构表征方法有助于研究聚合物泡沫的分层细胞形态。在这项研究中,我们采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和 X 射线显微计算机断层扫描(micro-CT)表征了聚(甲基丙烯酸甲酯)(PMMA)和聚苯乙烯(PS)泡沫的分层细胞形态。聚合物泡沫是使用纯二氧化碳气体和二氧化碳-氯二氟甲烷(HCFC-22)气体混合物作为发泡剂制备的。根据聚合物类型和 HCFC-22 浓度的不同,获得了由纳米细胞、微细胞和大细胞组成的分层细胞结构。高倍扫描电子显微镜测定了纳米细胞的尺寸分布,而显微 CT 则测定了微细胞和大细胞的尺寸、形状和三维空间分布。此外,通过精心设计的显微 CT 实验,还可以比较泡沫的亮度,并根据亮度绘制泡沫的相对局部密度图。结果清楚地表明,在 PMMA 和 PS 泡沫的空气界面上都形成了致密的表皮层,而在 PMMA 泡沫中,大型大孔周围则形成了致密的基质。因此,结合 SEM 和 micro-CT 可以更深入地了解聚合物泡沫分层细胞结构的形成机制。
