Epoxy-impregnated aramid composites, notable for their excellent mechanical and insulation qualities, are pivotal in electrical engineering and electronics. However, their performance is severely restrained by interface issues. This research proposes an effective modification strategy for improving interface property by employing non-thermal atmospheric plasma to introduce active functional groups onto aramid paper. The modified composites demonstrated a 26 % increase in tensile strength and a 20 % enhancement in breakdown strength at best, alongside inhibited charge transport properties and reduced partial discharge under operational electric fields. Molecular simulation suggests that plasma treatment bolsters interface hydrogen bonding, restricting the chain mobility of the resin molecular, and thus augmenting inter-phase compatibility. This study offers a factual perspective on improving resin-impregnated composites, laying a theoretical foundation for advancing high-performance materials in power industries.

This paper proposes an innovative class of two-and-a-half dimensional (2.5D) hybrid continuous fiber reinforced lattice structures (CFRLSs) that rationally combine distinct lattice designs to leverage the tensile strength of fibers for achieving superior compression performance. These hybrid structures are fabricated through a self-supporting suspension printing (SSSP) method, which enables the fabrication of suspension structures across substantial gaps through continuous fiber 3D printing (CF-3DP). The compression behavior of the proposed 2.5 D hybrid CFRLSs was optimized by focusing on two key variables in hybridizing the basic lattice along the build direction: composition ratio and distribution strategy. Finite element and analytical models were developed to elucidate their three failure mechanisms and related control strategies. Compared to the conventional single-type structure, i.e., honeycomb design, the proposed hybrid structures show a substantially higher compression performance, with improvements of up to 141.3 % and 330.1 % in specific strength and modulus, respectively, even at a lower density. This hybrid lattice design method based on SSSP opens up new horizons for engineering high-performance CFRLSs with superior compression performance by fully exploiting the design freedom offered by CF-3DP.

Hydroxyapatite/polyether-ether-ketone (HA/PEEK) composites are promising prosthesis materials due to their biological activity, but they often have mechanical properties that fall short of clinical requirements, typically with HA content below 40 wt%. This study utilized a customized screw extrusion-based 3D printhead, incorporating carbon fiber (CF) to produce HA/CF/PEEK composites with enhanced mechanical properties and HA content up to 60 wt%. The investigation focused on the effects of HA and CF content on the crystallization process and mechanical properties. Results showed that HA and CF affect crystallization differently due to varying densities; a phase volume ratio above 20 % inhibits crystallization. The elongation at break for composites with 10 wt% HA was 27.9 %, a record for 3D-printed HA/PEEK composites. The tensile strength for composites with 10 wt% HA and 40 wt% CF reached 115.7 MPa, the highest among the tested three-phase composites. Data fitting indicated that the effects of HA and CF on strength are independent. The toughness decreases exponentially with increased reinforcing phase content. This study explored a new method for preparing HA/PEEK and HA/CF/PEEK composites, expanding the performance boundaries of PEEK composites, enhancing their potential applications in bone implants.
羟基磷灰石/聚醚醚酮(HA/PEEK)复合材料因其生物活性而成为前景广阔的假体材料,但其机械性能往往达不到临床要求,通常 HA 含量低于 40 wt%。本研究利用定制的螺杆挤压式三维打印头,结合碳纤维 (CF) 生产出机械性能更强、HA 含量高达 60 wt% 的 HA/CF/PEEK 复合材料。研究重点是 HA 和 CF 含量对结晶过程和机械性能的影响。结果表明,由于密度不同,HA 和 CF 对结晶的影响也不同;相体积比超过 20% 会抑制结晶。含有 10 wt% HA 的复合材料的断裂伸长率为 27.9%,创下了 3D 打印 HA/PEEK 复合材料的最高纪录。含 10 wt% HA 和 40 wt% CF 的复合材料的拉伸强度达到 115.7 MPa,是测试的三相复合材料中最高的。数据拟合表明,HA 和 CF 对强度的影响是独立的。随着增强相含量的增加,韧性呈指数下降。该研究探索了制备 HA/PEEK 和 HA/CF/PEEK 复合材料的新方法,拓展了 PEEK 复合材料的性能边界,提高了其在骨植入物中的应用潜力。

The three-dimensional failure process experimentally observed by synchrotron radiation X-ray computed tomography (SR X-CT) regarding the influence of the interfiber distance is discussed on the basis of the results of numerical experiments. Triaxial stress states in the fracture process zone of carbon fiber reinforced polymers were analyzed on the mesoscale under mode I and mixed-mode (mode I + II) loading. Yield and damage models depending on stress triaxiality were used to accurately simulate three-dimensional stress states in the damage zone around the crack tip. Owing to the heterogeneity of composites, deviatoric stress is prominent in the thin resin region where the interfiber distance is small under mode I loading. On the other hand, matrix resin is triaxially stressed in the middle point between carbon fibers in the thick resin region where the interfiber distance is large. Under mode II loading, the shapes of fiber/matrix debonding depended on the interfiber distance. Areas with stress concentration were found owing to a large debonding area in the thick resin region resulting in a matrix cracking-prone stress state. These findings explain the damage and failure processes well observed by SR X-CT and provide a fundamental understanding of the damage mechanism at a mesoscale.
在数值实验结果的基础上,讨论了通过同步辐射 X 射线计算机断层扫描(SR X-CT)实验观察到的有关纤维间距影响的三维破坏过程。在中尺度上分析了碳纤维增强聚合物在模式 I 和混合模式(模式 I + II)加载下断裂过程区的三轴应力状态。根据三轴应力的屈服和损伤模型,精确模拟了裂纹尖端周围损伤区的三维应力状态。由于复合材料的异质性,在模式 I 载荷作用下,偏离应力在纤维间距较小的薄树脂区域非常突出。另一方面,在纤维间距较大的厚树脂区域,基体树脂在碳纤维之间的中间点受到三轴应力。在模式 II 载荷下,纤维/基体脱粘的形状取决于纤维间距。由于厚树脂区域的脱粘面积较大,导致基体处于易开裂的应力状态,因此发现了应力集中区域。这些发现很好地解释了 SR X-CT 观察到的破坏和失效过程,并提供了对中尺度破坏机制的基本理解。

Multiscale models for fibre-reinforced polymer composites currently lack experimentally validated microscale damage descriptors as input parameters. This work demonstrates the occurrence of strain localisation phenomena at the fibre/matrix level using nanoscale digital image correlation. Unidirectional carbon-fibre reinforced epoxy and glass-fibre reinforced PMMA composites were loaded in transverse compression in a scanning electron microscope. Radial and shear strain maps were extracted and compared with finite element simulations based on a conventional elastoplastic model. Near the interface, an interphase layer is present in the matrix, presumably due to locally different polymerisation conditions. A skin-core structure was found in carbon fibres, corresponding to an increased transverse modulus towards the interface.

Recently, metamaterial absorbers (MAs) with a multi-layered anisotropic substrate have received significant attention due to their huge potential for application in major engineering fields like aircraft stealthing, electromagnetic sensing, and materials processing, etc. However, the working mechanism of this type of structural materials has not been well-understood yet, as the classical equivalent circuit model was only proposed to describe the conventional overall isotropic metal-substrate MAs. In this paper, for the first time, a generalized equivalent circuit model that considering the anisotropy of the multi-layered substrate is constructed, based on new findings about the unique distribution of the induced current inside the MA with a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite substrate – a typical multi-layered anisotropic laminate. The effectiveness of the generalized analytical model is validated by predicting the structure-performance relationship of the CFRP-substrate MA, which is in excellent agreement with numerical simulation results based on Maxwell's equations. Experimental cases have also been conducted to demonstrate the strong power of this model in inverse design of several tunable MAs. Through the above research, the scope of the equivalent circuit modelling has been greatly broadened, which can help to design a series of MAs with more extreme performance in future.
近年来,具有多层各向异性基底的超材料吸波材料(MAs)因其在飞机隐身、电磁传感和材料加工等重大工程领域的巨大应用潜力而备受关注。然而,由于经典的等效电路模型仅被提出来描述传统的整体各向同性金属基底 MAs,因此这类结构材料的工作机理尚未被很好地理解。本文基于对碳纤维增强聚合物(CFRP)复合基材--典型的多层各向异性层压板--MA 内部感应电流独特分布的新发现,首次构建了考虑多层基材各向异性的广义等效电路模型。通过预测碳纤维增强聚合物基材 MA 的结构性能关系,验证了广义分析模型的有效性,该模型与基于麦克斯韦方程的数值模拟结果非常吻合。此外,还通过实验案例证明了该模型在几种可调 MA 的逆向设计中的强大威力。通过上述研究,等效电路建模的范围大大拓宽,有助于将来设计出一系列性能更加卓越的 MA。

The external load angle is known to have a significant influence on the mechanical behavior of two-dimensional triaxially braided composites (2DTBCs). However, the experimental data for 2DTBCs under off-axial loading provide limited information for understanding the failure mechanisms. In this study, a comprehensive mesoscale finite element (FE) model for simulating 2DTBC specimens was established to evaluate the mechanical responses and damage characteristics when off-axial tensile loads are applied. The FE model effectively captured the mechanical response at five distinct angles (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°) and revealed the evolving patterns of failure behavior, damage morphology, and out-of-plane deformation mechanisms corresponding to the different loading angles. The findings indicate that, when the external load aligns with the axial fiber bundle direction, the primary failure mechanism involves the fracture of load-bearing fiber bundles. In contrast, deviations from the axial loading direction resulted in failure that was primarily due to the undulation of the bias fiber bundles, resulting in a loading angle–dependent warping at the edge of the specimen due to local shear stress concentration. The findings of this study provide valuable insights that can inform the design of structures with improved application.

Thermal interface material (TIM) has a great potential for efficient heat management and safety of electronic devices. However, achieving high performance polymer-based TIM is still challenging because of its intrinsic thermal conductivity and weak mechanical properties. In particular, electromagnetic interference shielding effect (EMI SE) of polymer-based composites has a great attraction according to electronic devices have become ubiquitous, playing integral roles in everyday life in our increasingly interconnected world. Herein, a porous carbon cloth (CC) for use as a continuous thermally and electrically conductive template is prepared via a freeze-casting method, after which mxene (MX) is chemically grafted onto the CC surface. Then, the as-prepared MX-CC is used along with alumina (AO) to fill a poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix in order to fabricate a thermally conductive film with electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties. The resultant composite demonstrates remarkable characteristics, including an excellent EMI shielding effect of 28 dB, substantial tensile strength of 19 MPa, and impressive out of plane thermal conductivity (3.98 W/mK). When applied to a light-emitting diode (LED), the PVA/MX-CC/AO composite effectively manages heat, thereby resulting in a 49 °C reduction in the operating temperature. Therefore, the composites developed herein hold great promise for improving thermal management in electronic devices.
热界面材料(TIM)在电子设备的高效热管理和安全方面具有巨大潜力。然而,由于其固有的导热性和较弱的机械性能,实现高性能的聚合物基 TIM 仍然具有挑战性。特别是在电子设备无处不在、相互联系日益紧密的日常生活中,聚合物基复合材料的电磁干扰屏蔽效应(EMI SE)具有很大的吸引力。本文通过冷冻铸造法制备了一种可用作连续导热导电模板的多孔碳布(CC),然后将二甲苯(MX)化学接枝到 CC 表面。然后,将制备好的 MX-CC 与氧化铝(AO)一起用于填充聚乙烯醇(PVA)基体,以制造具有电磁干扰(EMI)屏蔽特性的导热薄膜。最终制成的复合材料表现出卓越的特性,包括 28 分贝的出色 EMI 屏蔽效果、19 兆帕的超强拉伸强度和令人印象深刻的平面外导热性(3.98 W/mK)。当应用于发光二极管(LED)时,PVA/MX-CC/AO 复合材料能有效管理热量,从而使工作温度降低 49 °C。因此,本文开发的复合材料在改善电子设备的热管理方面大有可为。

The design of carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composite materials with suitable interfaces has consistently been challenging. In this study, we sulfonated poly (phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) (PPESK) and PEEK to prepare water-soluble SPPESK and SPEEK. Subsequently, we prepared a water-soluble sizing agent (SPPESK/SPEEK) via a straightforward blending process. This sizing agent tended to accumulate randomly on the surfaces of CFs, forming a thin film with a heterogeneous structure in the nanoscale. At the molding temperature of the composite material, the two components on the fiber surface exhibited different rheological behaviors, with PEEK preferentially infiltrating the SPEEK region, forming strong molecular entanglements. Meanwhile, the SPPESK region provided a rigid supportive structure, offering the potential for the mechanical interlocking of PEEK in the interface layer. The performance of the prepared composite materials was significantly enhanced, with their interlaminar shear strength and flexural strength reaching 87.1 MPa and 975.8 MPa, respectively. With respect to those of commercial fiber-reinforced PEEK composites, an 89.8 % increase in interlaminar shear strength and a 79.39 % increase in flexural strength were observed. This interface reinforcement mechanism presents a universally applicable strategy for the future development of fiber-reinforced composite materials.
