Aramid paper with excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and electrical insulation properties has a wide range of applications. However, traditional aramid paper still has problems such as easy moisture absorption and high dielectric constant, which to some extent limit its application in new fields, such as 5G/6G communication and wearable flexible devices. In this work, fluorine-containing meta-aramid solution was prepared. Different concentrations of fluorine-containing meta-aramid solutions were used to coat commercial aramid paper by scraping. Finally, a series of aramid papers modified by fluorine-containing aramid solution were obtained through drying treatment. The basic parameters and performances of commercial aramid paper and modified composite paper, including the appearance, microstructure, mechanical properties, dielectric properties and moisture absorption properties, were tested and characterized in detail. The results show that, the tensile strength of the composite paper can reach more than 80 MPa, far exceeding that of the unmodified commercial aramid paper. Furthermore, the composite paper exhibited low dielectric constant (1.90) and dielectric loss (0.01). The surface hydrophobicity and moisture resistance of composite aramid paper have been significantly improved when compared with the commercial aramid paper. Based on the method proposed in this work, the composite aramid paper has excellent characteristics such as low dielectric constant, hydrophobicity and low moisture absorption, and is expected to meet the strict requirements for aramid paper materials in multiple fields in the future. Furthermore, the technological process of this paper is relatively simple and is expected to be applied in industrial production in the future.

芳纶纸具有优异的机械性能、耐热性和电绝缘性能，具有广泛的应用前景。但传统芳纶纸仍存在易吸湿、介电常数高等问题，在一定程度上限制了其在5G/6G通信、可穿戴柔性设备等新领域的应用。本文制备了含氟间位芳纶溶液。采用不同浓度的含氟间位芳纶溶液对商品芳纶纸进行刮涂。最后，对含氟芳纶溶液进行干燥处理，得到了一系列芳纶纸。对商用芳纶纸和改性复合纸的外观、微观结构、力学性能、介电性能和吸湿性能等基本参数和性能进行了测试和表征。结果表明，复合纸的抗拉强度可达80 MPa以上，远远超过未改性的商用芳纶纸。此外，复合纸具有较低的介电常数（1.90）和介电损耗（0.01）。与普通芳纶纸相比，复合芳纶纸的表面疏水性和耐湿性有了明显提高。基于本文提出的方法，复合芳纶纸具有低介电常数、疏水性、低吸湿性等优异特性，有望满足未来多个领域对芳纶纸材料的严格要求。此外，本文的工艺流程相对简单，有望在未来的工业生产中得到应用。

Modern electronic communication requires ideal electromagnetic manipulation materials urgently to guarantee the high quality of communication and the stable function of electronic devices. Thin epoxy-based composite coatings are potential candidates that are still limited by the efficiency and convenience of building functional filler networks inside. Sustainable development also calls for new techniques to prepare the waterborne epoxy coatings, especially those with multiple functions. Here, an efficient and general method was developed to fabricate multifunctional waterborne epoxy coatings based on the amphiphilic Janus particles (JPs) stabilized Pickering emulsion. JPs were used to stabilize the oil-in-water epoxy emulsions and were anchored at the interface. Thereafter, JPs remained at the interface and resulted in a characteristic bilayer JPs network. This JP's network acts as the platform for functions or assistance to build a conductive MXene nanosheet network. The conductive network is in the morphology of a coverage-adjustable cage by varying the content of fillers. Electromagnetic manipulation performance of the coatings is thus switchable between wave absorbing and interference shielding as the conductive network shifts between a defective-cage and a closed-cage structure. The minimum reflection loss at 1.8 mm reached −25 dB in the absorbing on state and the total electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness reached 23 dB in the shielding on state.

现代电子通信迫切需要理想的电磁操纵材料，以保证高质量的通信和电子设备的稳定功能。薄环氧基复合涂料是潜在的候选者，但仍然受到内部构建功能性填料网络的效率和便利性的限制。可持续发展对水性环氧涂料特别是多功能水性环氧涂料的制备提出了新的要求。本文研究了一种基于两亲性Janus颗粒（JPs）稳定皮克林乳液制备多功能水性环氧涂料的方法。JPs用于稳定水包油环氧乳液，并锚定在界面处。此后，jp一直停留在界面上，形成了具有特征的双层jp网络。该JP的网络作为功能平台或辅助平台来构建导电的MXene纳米片网络。通过改变填充物的含量，导电网络呈覆盖可调笼状。因此，当导电网络在缺陷笼和封闭笼结构之间转换时，涂层的电磁操纵性能可以在吸波和屏蔽干扰之间切换。在吸收导通状态下，1.8 mm处的最小反射损耗达到−25 dB，在屏蔽导通状态下，总电磁干扰屏蔽效能达到23 dB。

PEO-based polymer solid-state electrolytes have attracted significant traction in solid-state lithium metal batteries owing to their flexibility and preeminent lithium ions transfer capability. However, their progress has been constrained by limited ion conductivity, poor mechanical properties, and unstable interfaces. In this study, we incorporated the inorganic filler Cr₃C₂ into PEO and blended it with the plasticizer succinonitrile (SN), thereby developing PEO-based composite solid-state electrolytes (CSSEs) that exhibit superior electrochemical performance. The synergistic effect of Cr₃C₂ and PEO restricts the movement of lithium salt anions through chemical bonds, thereby creating more active space for efficient lithium-ion transport and improving the lithium transference number (t_Li+). The PCN5 CSSEs exhibits excellent room temperature lithium-ion migration of 0.96 and superior ionic conductivity over an extensive temperature range (25 °C–80 °C). Moreover, the LFP|PCN5|Li cell delivers discharge capacity of 165.3 mAh g⁻¹ and retains 70.6 % of its original capacity after 500 cycles when tested at 60 °C. Furthermore, the Li|PCN5|Li cell operates stably over 5000 h at a current density of 0.1 mA cm⁻² owing to the improved mechanical properties from hydrogen bonding between Cr₃C₂ and PEO along with lithium dendrites suppressing effect of SN, which ensures long-term cycling performance. These results may position the PCN5 CSSEs as a viable option for next-generation solid-state lithium metal batteries.

peo基聚合物固态电解质由于其灵活性和优异的锂离子传输能力，在固态锂金属电池中引起了很大的关注。然而，它们的进展受到离子电导率有限、机械性能差和界面不稳定的限制。在本研究中，我们将无机填料Cr3C2加入到PEO中，并与增塑剂丁二腈（SN）共混，从而开发出具有优异电化学性能的PEO基复合固态电解质（csse）。Cr3C2与PEO的协同作用限制了锂盐阴离子通过化学键的移动，从而为锂离子的高效传递创造了更活跃的空间，提高了锂离子转移数（tLi+）。PCN5 cses在室温下的锂离子迁移率为0.96，在广泛的温度范围内（25°C - 80°C）具有优异的离子电导率。此外，LFP|PCN5|锂电池在60°C下测试时，放电容量为165.3 mAh g - 1，在500次循环后保持其原始容量的70.6%。此外，由于Cr3C2和PEO之间的氢键作用以及SN对锂枝晶的抑制作用，Li|PCN5|锂电池在0.1 mA cm−2的电流密度下稳定运行了5000 h以上，从而保证了锂枝晶的长期循环性能。这些结果可能使PCN5 cses成为下一代固态锂金属电池的可行选择。

Polymer nanocomposites, inherently tailorable materials, are potentially capable of providing higher strength to weight ratio than conventional hard metals. However, their disordered nature makes processing control and hence tailoring properties to desired target values a challenge. Additionally, the interfacial region, also called the interphase, is a critical material phase in these heterogeneous materials and its extent depends on variety of microstructure features like particle loading and dispersion or inter-particle distances. Understanding process–structure–property (PSP) relation can provide guidelines for process and constituents’ design. Our work explores nuances of PSP relation for polymer nanocomposites with attractive pairing between particles and the bulk polymer. Past works have shown that particle functionalization can help tweak these interactions in attractive or repulsive type and can cause slow or fast decay of stiffness properties in polymer nanocomposites. In this work, we develop a material model that can represent decay for small strain elastoplastic (Young’s modulus and yield strength) properties in interfacial regions and simulate representative or statistical volume element behavior. The interfacial elastoplastic material model is devised by combining local stiffness and glass transition measurements from atomic force microscopy and fluorescence microscopy. This model is combined with a microstructural design of experiments for agglomerated nanocomposite systems. Agglomerations are particle aggregations arising from processing artifacts. Twin screw extrusion process can reduce extent of aggregation in hot pressed samples via erosion or rupture depending on screw rpms and torque. We connect this process–structure relation to structure–property relation that emerges from our study. We discover that balancing between local stress concentration zones (SCZ) and interfacial property decay governs how fast yield stress can improve by breaking down agglomeration via erosion. Erosion is relatively more effective in helping improve nanocomposite yield strength. We also observe saturation in properties where incremental increase brought on by erosion is slowed due to increasing SCZ and saturation in interphase percolation.

聚合物纳米复合材料是一种固有的可定制材料，具有比传统硬金属提供更高强度重量比的潜力。然而，它们的无序性使得处理控制和裁剪属性到期望的目标值成为一项挑战。此外，界面区域，也称为界面相，是这些非均质材料中的关键材料相，其程度取决于各种微观结构特征，如颗粒负载和分散或颗粒间距离。理解工艺-结构-性能（PSP）关系可以为工艺和部件的设计提供指导。我们的工作探讨了聚合物纳米复合材料的PSP关系的细微差别，粒子和体聚合物之间有吸引力的配对。过去的研究表明，粒子功能化可以帮助将这些相互作用调整为吸引或排斥类型，并可能导致聚合物纳米复合材料的刚度性能缓慢或快速衰减。在这项工作中，我们开发了一个材料模型，可以表示界面区域的小应变弹塑性（杨氏模量和屈服强度）特性的衰减，并模拟代表性或统计体积元行为。结合原子力显微镜和荧光显微镜的局部刚度和玻璃化转变测量，设计了界面弹塑性材料模型。该模型结合了团聚纳米复合材料体系的微观结构实验设计。聚集是由加工工件产生的粒子聚集。双螺杆挤压工艺可以减少热压样品中因螺杆转速和扭矩不同而产生的侵蚀或破裂的聚集程度。我们将这种过程-结构关系与我们研究中出现的结构-性质关系联系起来。我们发现，局部应力集中区（SCZ）和界面性能衰减之间的平衡决定了通过侵蚀破坏团聚体来提高屈服应力的速度。在提高纳米复合材料屈服强度方面，侵蚀作用相对更有效。我们还观察到，由于侵蚀带来的增量增加由于增加的SCZ和相间渗透的饱和度而减慢了性质的饱和。

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) are widely used across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and electronics, owing to their exceptional mechanical properties and superior strength-to-weight ratios. The present study endeavors to overcome the inherent electrical conductivity limitation of epoxy resin-based CFRPs by achieving direct electroplating onto the surface of CFRP laminates. This approach facilitates the development of multifunctional applications that necessitate high surface electrical or thermal conductivity. To this end, a laser ablation technique is introduced to remove the resin-rich layer on the CFRP surface. Subsequently, a conventional copper electroplating method is employed to deposit a robust and continuous coating onto the CFRP laminate surface. The impact of laser ablation parameters on both the CFRP laminate and the subsequent electroplating process is meticulously analyzed, utilizing scanning electron microscopy to assess morphology characteristics. The optimal copper coating demonstrates remarkable electrical conductivity, exhibiting an electrical resistance that is only one order of magnitude higher than that of pure copper film. Furthermore, out-of-plane thermal conductivity enhancements of

This study elucidates a multi-applicability mechanism of elastomer-toughened brittle thermoplastics polymers through experimental methods and multiscale analysis. Polyolefin elastomer (POE) and glycidyl methacrylate-modified POE (POE-GMA) were used to toughen thermoplastic polymers polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). It was found that small amounts of POE-GMA could enhance the fracture energy of PBT and PPS by 167 % and 415 %, while only sacrificing 5.3 %–11.6 % of strength or rigidity, and the lower the inherent toughness of the polymer, the better the toughening effect, whereas POE showed no significant effect. Molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the GMA groups enhance interactions between POE-GMA and polymers, promoting POE-GMA diffusion into the polymer matrix and improving dispersion. Further finite element modeling indicates that smaller and more dispersed elastomer particles can induce more microcracks, enhancing energy absorption and consequently increasing the fracture energy, thereby improving toughness. This multi-applicability mechanism provides crucial insights for designing polymer composites that balance toughness and rigidity.

本研究通过实验方法和多尺度分析，阐明了弹性体增韧脆性热塑性聚合物的多适用机理。采用聚烯烃弹性体（POE）和甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯改性POE （POE- gma）对热塑性聚合物聚苯硫醚（PPS）和聚对苯二甲酸丁二酯（PBT）进行增韧。结果表明，少量POE- gma可使PBT和PPS的断裂能分别提高167%和415%，而强度或刚度仅损失5.3% - 11.6%，聚合物的固有韧性越低，增韧效果越好，POE的增韧效果不显著。分子动力学模拟表明，GMA基团增强了POE-GMA与聚合物之间的相互作用，促进了POE-GMA向聚合物基体的扩散，改善了聚合物的分散性。进一步的有限元模拟表明，弹性体颗粒越小、越分散，产生的微裂纹越多，增强了能量吸收，从而提高了断裂能，从而提高了韧性。这种多用途机制为设计平衡韧性和刚性的聚合物复合材料提供了重要的见解。

Further finite element modeling indicates that smaller and more dispersed elastomer particles can induce more microcracks, enhancing energy absorption and consequently increasing the fracture energy, thereby improving toughness. This multi-applicability mechanism provides crucial insights for designing polymer composites that balance toughness and rigidity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":283,"journal":{"name":"Composites Science and Technology","volume":"274 ","pages":"Article 111434"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145518876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

T1000 carbon fibers are far superior to T300 fibers in tension, but the performance of bulk T1000 composites can be matched by bulk T300 composites interleaved with sparsely distributed micro-/nano- Aramid pulp (AP) fibers. In this study, we focus not only on the short-beam shear strength but also on the flexural strength of T1000 and T300-AP composites before and after impact, as these properties are critical indicators of structural performance under bending-dominated loading conditions. Maintaining the AP-epoxy interlayer thickness increase at 8 μm or less, with AP areal densities of 2, 4 and 6 g/m², leads to improvements of up to 38 % in short-beam shear strength and 55 % in flexural strength for the T300-AP composites, surpassing the performance of plain T1000 composites without such AP-interfacial toughening. These findings highlight the importance of interfacial design and quasi-Z-directional fiber bridging in CFRPs, demonstrating that resin-rich layers between carbon fiber plies as thin as 15 μm can be transformed into mechanically interlocked ply interfaces through AP-interfacial toughening, thereby bringing the structural performance of T300-AP composites to parity with that of T1000 composites.

T1000碳纤维在拉伸性能上远优于T300纤维，但块状T1000复合材料与稀疏分布的微/纳米芳纶纸浆（AP）纤维交织，其性能可以与块状T300复合材料相媲美。在本研究中，我们不仅关注了T1000和T300-AP复合材料的短梁抗剪强度，还关注了T1000和T300-AP复合材料在冲击前后的抗弯强度，因为这些性能是在弯曲主导载荷条件下结构性能的关键指标。当AP面密度分别为2、4和6 g/m2时，将AP-环氧树脂层间厚度增加在8 μm或以下，T300-AP复合材料的短束抗剪强度和抗弯强度分别提高了38%和55%，超过了未进行AP-界面增韧的普通T1000复合材料的性能。这些发现强调了界面设计和准z方向纤维桥接在cfrp中的重要性，表明薄至15 μm的碳纤维层之间的富树脂层可以通过ap -界面增韧转变为机械互锁的层界面，从而使T300-AP复合材料的结构性能与T1000复合材料相当。

This study presents a multiscale-multiphysics computational framework for modeling complex moisture absorption mechanisms and their coupling with dielectric property evolution in polymer matrix composites (PMCs). First at the microscale level, orthotropic diffusion and absorption of water molecules, distinguishing between free and bound states respectively, are modeled using non-Fickian hindered diffusion model (HDM). The approach incorporates interphase effects and fiber-matrix heterogeneity utilizing finite element (FE) analysis. Emphasis is placed on increased diffusivity and absorption properties of interphase regions and their impact on the transport and reaction kinetics through representative volumetric elements (RVEs). A homogenization scheme subsequently translates these microscale constituent properties to macroscale behavior, enabling efficient FE implementation. A novel multiphysics coupling then integrates the absorption model with Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism in order to mechanistically model moisture-induced electrical property changes, and orientational polarization effects through dipole moment redistribution. The developed models are validated using experimental gravimetric data and broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BbDS) measurements performed on unidirectional glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites subjected to hygrothermal aging. Results demonstrate that HDM successfully models moisture absorption mechanisms, e.g., diffusion, adsorption and desorption, while purely Fickian and irreversible binding models fail to match experimental trends. The coupled HDM-Maxwell model captures the correlation between experimentally observed moisture content and dielectric permittivity, where a ∼2.5 wt% of moisture content is found to result in ∼75% increase in dielectric permittivity. This coupled framework provides fundamental insights into the physics of moisture-electrical cross-property relationships in PMCs, while offering a validated analytical tool for modeling multifunctional composite performance in humid environments.

本文提出了一个多尺度、多物理场的计算框架，用于模拟聚合物基复合材料（PMCs）中复杂吸湿机制及其与介电性能演变的耦合。首先，在微观尺度上，利用非菲克阻碍扩散模型（HDM）对水分子的正交各向异性扩散和吸收进行了建模，分别区分了自由态和束缚态。该方法结合了相间效应和利用有限元分析的纤维-基体非均质性。重点放在增加的扩散率和吸收性质的相间区域及其影响的运输和反应动力学通过代表性的体积元素（RVEs）。均匀化方案随后将这些微观尺度的成分属性转换为宏观尺度的行为，从而实现高效的FE实现。然后，一种新的多物理场耦合将吸收模型与麦克斯韦电磁学方程相结合，以机械地模拟水分引起的电学性质变化，以及通过偶极矩重分配产生的定向极化效应。通过对单向玻璃纤维增强聚合物（GFRP）复合材料进行湿热老化的实验重力数据和宽带介电光谱（BbDS）测量，验证了所开发的模型。结果表明，HDM模型成功地模拟了扩散、吸附和解吸等吸湿机制，而纯粹的菲克模型和不可逆结合模型不符合实验趋势。耦合HDM-Maxwell模型捕获了实验观察到的水分含量和介电常数之间的相关性，其中发现~ 2.5 wt%的水分含量导致介电常数增加~ 75%。这种耦合框架为pmc中湿电交叉性能关系的物理特性提供了基本见解，同时为潮湿环境中多功能复合材料性能的建模提供了一种经过验证的分析工具。

The formation of ice poses serious risks to the reliable operation of equipment in cold environments. Here, we propose a novel graphene-polyetherimide icephobic surface (GPIS) that achieves fluorine-free environmental compatibility, structural robustness, and photothermal responsiveness through a one-step fabrication strategy. Unlike conventional approaches relying on fragile coatings or lubricant infusion, our method enables simultaneous structural construction and functional integration without the need for additional surface treatments. Graphene nanosheets are uniformly embedded within the PEI matrix while retaining their π-conjugated structure and crystalline integrity, which endows the surface with excellent broadband light absorption and high in-plane thermal conductivity. Upon light irradiation, the GPIS surface can rapidly reach a temperature of 140 °C, reducing the ice adhesion strength to as low as 20 kPa and enabling fast, passive de-icing without mechanical intervention. More importantly, this GPIS design maintains its superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning performance, and high photothermal responsiveness under extreme thermal, chemical, and mechanical conditions, demonstrating outstanding environmental stability. This study presents an innovative interface design that integrates material chemistry, thermal regulation, and microstructure engineering, providing a new technological foundation for the development of high-performance and durable smart anti-/de-icing systems.

This study investigates the effect of incorporating 3D printed interlayers containing continuous carbon fibres into plain weave CFRP laminates. The impact on stress distribution and the mechanical performance of bolted joints is systematically investigated. Three interlayer design strategies were developed to tailor the fibre distribution within the interlayers using filament-based 3D printing, and the resulting tailored-interlayer/woven laminates were assessed through double-shear testing to characterise the fibre load-transfer mechanisms. A filament-level multiscale finite element model was developed to capture the progressive damage evolution of the laminates. The experimental and numerical results demonstrate that incorporating 3D-printed interlayers can substantially enhance joint performance. Relative to the woven laminate baseline, enhancements were achieved across all interlayer cases. Specifically, improvements of up to 86 % in stiffness, 95 % in initial peak strength, and 59 % in ultimate bearing strength were achieved across the evaluated cases. In addition, substantial enhancements in energy absorption capacity were observed, with the initial fracture energy increasing by as much as 496 %, and the ultimate fracture energy by up to 10 %, depending on the specific architectural conditions. Among the designs, fibre steering guided by failure planes yielded most suppression of damage propagation. Together with micro-CT scans of the final failure morphologies, the simulation results provided insight into the damage progression and showed good agreement with the overall mechanical response observed experimentally. This research highlights the effectiveness of stress-adapted fibre steering in laminates and demonstrates the potential of 3D printing as a tool for locally reinforcing CFRP joints.

本研究探讨了将含有连续碳纤维的3D打印夹层纳入平纹CFRP层压板的效果。系统地研究了螺栓连接对应力分布和力学性能的影响。研究人员利用基于长丝的3D打印技术开发了三种夹层设计策略，以定制夹层内的纤维分布，并通过双剪切测试评估了定制的夹层/编织层压板，以表征纤维负载传递机制。建立了一种细丝级多尺度有限元模型，以捕捉层合板的渐进损伤演化过程。实验和数值结果表明，加入3d打印夹层可以显著提高接头性能。相对于编织层压板基线，在所有层间情况下都实现了增强。具体来说，在评估的情况下，刚度提高了86%，初始峰值强度提高了95%，极限承载强度提高了59%。此外，根据具体的建筑条件，可以观察到能量吸收能力的显著增强，初始断裂能增加496%，最终断裂能增加10%。在这些设计中，以破坏面为导向的纤维转向对损伤传播的抑制效果最好。结合最终破坏形态的微ct扫描，模拟结果提供了对损伤进展的深入了解，并与实验观察到的整体力学响应表现出良好的一致性。这项研究强调了应力适应纤维转向在层压板中的有效性，并展示了3D打印作为局部增强CFRP接头工具的潜力。
