Polymer-derived ceramic (PDC) thin films are promising wear-resistant coatings for protecting metals and carbon–carbon composites from corrosion and oxidation. However, the high pyrolysis temperature hinders the applications on substrate materials with low melting points. We report a new synthesis route for PDC coatings using initiated chemical vapor deposited poly(1,3,5-trivinyl-1,3,5-trimethylcyclotrisiloxane) (pV3D3) as the precursor. We investigated the changes in siloxane moieties and the network topology, and proposed a three-stage mechanism for the thermal annealing process. The rise of the connectivity number for the structures obtained at increased annealing temperatures was found with strong correlation to the enhanced mechanical properties and thermal conductivity. Our PDC films obtained via annealing at 850 °C exhibit at least 14.6% higher hardness than prior reports for PDCs synthesized below 1100 °C. Furthermore, thermal conductivity up to 1.02 W (mK)−1 was achieved at the annealing temperature as low as 700 °C, which is on the same order of magnitude as PDCs obtained above 1100 °C. Using minimum thermal conductivity models, we found that the thermal transport is dominated by diffusons in the films below the percolation of rigidity, while ultra-short mean-free path phonons contribute to the thermal conductivity of the films above the percolation threshold. The findings of this work provide new insights for the development of wear-resistant and thermally conductive PDC thin films for durable protection coatings.
聚合物衍生陶瓷(PDC)薄膜是一种很有前途的耐磨涂层，可以保护金属和碳-碳复合材料免受腐蚀和氧化。然而，高热解温度阻碍了在低熔点基材上的应用。本文报道了以化学气相沉积聚(1,3,5-三乙烯基-1,3,5-三甲基环三硅氧烷)(pV3D3)为前驱体合成PDC涂料的新路线。我们研究了硅氧烷基团和网络拓扑结构的变化，并提出了热退火过程的三阶段机制。在提高退火温度下获得的结构的连通性数的增加与力学性能和导热性的增强有很强的相关性。我们在850°C下退火得到的PDC薄膜的硬度比之前报道的在1100°C下合成的PDC至少高14.6%。此外，在低至700℃的退火温度下，热导率高达1.02 W (mK)−1，这与在1100℃以上获得的PDCs在同一数量级上。利用最小热导率模型，我们发现热输运主要由薄膜中的扩散主导，而超短平均自由程声子则有助于薄膜的热导率高于渗透阈值。研究结果为开发耐磨性、导热性强的PDC薄膜提供了新的思路。

Ag nanowires (AgNWs) have shown great application value in the field of flexible electronics due to their excellent optical and electrical properties, and the quality of its joints of AgNWs in the thin film network directly plays a key role in its performance. In order to further improve the joint quality of AgNWs under thermal excitation, the thermal welding process and atomic evolution behavior of AgNWs were investigated through a combination of in situ experimental and molecular dynamics simulations. The influence of processing time, temperature, and stress distribution due to spatial arrangement on nanojoints was systematically explored. What is more, the failure mechanisms and their atomic interface behavior of the nanojoints were also investigated.

Tribology at cryogenic temperatures has attracted much attention since the 1950s with the acceleration of its applications in high-tech equipment such as cryogenic wind tunnels, liquid fuel rockets, space infrared telescopes, superconducting devices, and planetary exploration, which require solid lubrication for moving parts at low temperatures down to 4 K in cryogenic liquid, gaseous, or vacuum environments. Herein, the research progress regarding cryo-tribology is reviewed. The tribological properties and mechanisms of solid lubricants listed as carbon materials, molybdenum disulfide, polymers, and polymer-based composites with decreasing temperature are summarized. The friction coefficient increases with decreasing temperature induced by thermally activated processes. The mechanism of transfer film formation should be considered as a significant way to enhance the tribological properties of solid lubricants. In addition, applications of solid lubrication on moving parts under cryogenic conditions, such as spherical plain bearings and roller bearings, are introduced. The technology for tribological testing of materials and bearings at cryogenic temperatures is summarized, where the environmental control, motion and loading realization, as well as friction and wear measurement together in a low-temperature environment, result in the difficulties and challenges of the low-temperature tribotester. In particular, novel technologies and tribotesters have been developed for tribotests and tribological studies of solid lubricants, spherical plain bearings, and roller bearings, overcoming limitations regarding cooling in vacuum and resolution of friction measurement, among others, and concentrating on in-situ observation of friction interface. These not only promote a deep understanding of friction and wear mechanism at low temperatures, but also provide insights into the performance of moving parts or components in cryogenic applications.

Timbre, as one of the essential elements of sound, plays an important role in determining sound properties, whereas its manipulation has been remaining challenging for passive mechanical systems due to the intrinsic dispersion nature of resonances. Here, we present a meta-silencer supporting intensive mode density as well as highly tunable intrinsic loss and offering a fresh pathway for designable timbre in broadband. Strong global coupling is induced by intensive mode density and delicately modulated with the guidance of the theoretical model, which efficiently suppresses the resonance dispersion and provides desirable frequency-selective wave-manipulation capacity for timbre tuning. As proof-of-concept demonstrations for our design concepts, we propose three meta-silencers with the designing targets of high-efficiency broadband sound attenuation, efficiency-controlled sound attenuation and designable timbre, respectively. The proposed meta-silencers all operate in a broadband frequency range from 500 to 3200 Hz and feature deep-subwavelength sizes around 50 mm. Our work opens up a fundamental avenue to manipulate the timbre with passive resonances-controlled acoustic metamaterials and may inspire the development of novel multifunctional devices in noise-control engineering, impedance engineering, and architectural acoustics.

High-speed machining (HSM) has been studied for several decades and has potential application in various industries, including the automobile and aerospace industries. However, the underlying mechanisms of HSM have not been formally reviewed thus far. This article focuses on the solid mechanics framework of adiabatic shear band (ASB) onset and material metallurgical microstructural evolutions in HSM. The ASB onset is described using partial differential systems. Several factors in HSM were considered in the systems, and the ASB onset conditions were obtained by solving these systems or applying the perturbation method to the systems. With increasing machining speed, an ASB can be depressed and further eliminated by shock pressure. The damage observed in HSM exhibits common features. Equiaxed fine grains produced by dynamic recrystallization widely cause damage to ductile materials, and amorphization is the common microstructural evolution in brittle materials. Based on previous studies, potential mechanisms for the phenomena in HSM are proposed. These include the thickness variation of the white layer of ductile materials. These proposed mechanisms would be beneficial to deeply understanding the various phenomena in HSM.

The concept of multi-principal component has created promising opportunities for the development of novel high-entropy ceramics for extreme environments encountered in advanced turbine engines, nuclear reactors, and hypersonic vehicles, as it expands the compositional space of ceramic materials with tailored properties within a single-phase solid solution. The unique physical properties of some high-entropy carbides and borides, such as higher hardness, high-temperature strength, lower thermal conductivity, and improved irradiation resistance than the constitute ceramics, have been observed. These promising properties may be attributed to the compositional complexity, atomic-level disorder, lattice distortion, and other fundamental processes related to defect formation and phonon scattering. This manuscript serves as a critical review of the recent progress in high-entropy carbides and borides, focusing on synthesis and evaluations of their performance in extreme high-temperature, irradiation, and gaseous environments.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing provides a promising way to fabricate biodegradable scaffolds with designer architectures for the regeneration of various tissues. However, the existing 3D-printed scaffolds commonly suffer from weak cell-scaffold interactions and insufficient cell organizations due to the limited resolution of the 3D-printed features. Here, composite scaffolds with mechanically-robust frameworks and aligned nanofibrous architectures are presented and hybrid manufactured by combining techniques of 3D printing, electrospinning, and unidirectional freeze-casting. It was found that the composite scaffolds provided volume-stable environments and enabled directed cellular infiltration for tissue regeneration. In particular, the nanofibrous architectures with aligned micropores served as artificial extracellular matrix materials and improved the attachment, proliferation, and infiltration of cells. The proposed scaffolds can also support the adipogenic maturation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in vitro. Moreover, the composite scaffolds were found to guide directed tissue infiltration and promote nearby neovascularization when implanted into a subcutaneous model of rats, and the addition of ADSCs further enhanced their adipogenic potential. The presented hybrid manufacturing strategy might provide a promising way to produce additional topological cues within 3D-printed scaffolds for better tissue regeneration.

Those various cross-sectional vessels in trees transfer water to as high as 100 meters, but the traditional fabrication methods limit the manufacturing of those vessels, resulting in the non-availability of those bionic microchannels. Herein, we fabricate those bionic microchannels with various cross-sections by employing projection micro-stereolithography (PµSL) based 3D printing technique. The circumradius of bionic microchannels (pentagonal, square, triangle, and five-pointed star) can be as small as 100 μm with precisely fabricated sharp corners. What’s more, those bionic microchannels demonstrate marvelous microfluidic performance with strong precursor effects enabled by their sharp corners. Most significantly, those special properties of our bionic microchannels enable them outstanding step lifting performance to transport water to tens of millimeters, though the water can only be transported to at most 20 mm for a single bionic microchannel. The mimicked transpiration based on the step lifting of water from bionic microchannels is also achieved. Those precisely fabricated, low-cost, various cross-sectional bionic microchannels promise applications as microfluidic chips, long-distance unpowered water transportation, step lifting, mimicked transpiration, and so on.

Ultra-precision diamond cutting is a promising machining technique for realizing ultra-smooth surface of different kinds of materials. While fundamental understanding of the impact of workpiece material properties on cutting mechanisms is crucial for promoting the capability of the machining technique, numerical simulation methods at different length and time scales act as important supplements to experimental investigations. In this work, we present a compact review on recent advancements in the numerical simulations of material-oriented diamond cutting, in which representative machining phenomena are systematically summarized and discussed by multiscale simulations such as molecular dynamics simulation and finite element simulation: the anisotropy cutting behavior of polycrystalline material, the thermo-mechanical coupling tool-chip friction states, the synergetic cutting responses of individual phase in composite materials, and the impact of various external energetic fields on cutting processes. In particular, the novel physics-based numerical models, which involve the high precision constitutive law associated with heterogeneous deformation behavior, the thermo-mechanical coupling algorithm associated with tool-chip friction, the configurations of individual phases in line with real microstructural characteristics of composite materials, and the integration of external energetic fields into cutting models, are highlighted. Finally, insights into the future development of advanced numerical simulation techniques for diamond cutting of advanced structured materials are also provided. The aspects reported in this review present guidelines for the numerical simulations of ultra-precision mechanical machining responses for a variety of materials.

Ultrasensitive nanomechanical instruments, e.g. atomic force microscopy (AFM), can be used to perform delicate biomechanical measurements and reveal the complex mechanical environment of biological processes. However, these instruments are limited because of their size and complex feedback system. In this study, we demonstrate a miniature fiber optical nanomechanical probe (FONP) that can be used to detect the mechanical properties of single cells and in vivo tissue measurements. A FONP that can operate in air and in liquids was developed by programming a microcantilever probe on the end face of a single-mode fiber using femtosecond laser two-photon polymerization nanolithography. To realize stiffness matching of the FONP and sample, a strategy of customizing the microcantilever’s spring constant according to the sample was proposed based on structure-correlated mechanics. As a proof-of concept, three FONPs with spring constants varying from 0.421 N m−1 to 52.6 N m−1 by more than two orders of magnitude were prepared. The highest microforce sensitivity was 54.5 nm μN−1 and the detection limit was 2.1 nN. The Young’s modulus of heterogeneous soft materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane, muscle tissue of living mice, onion cells, and MCF-7 cells, were successfully measured, which validating the broad applicability of this method. Our strategy provides a universal protocol for directly programming fiber-optic AFMs. Moreover, this method has no special requirements for the size and shape of living biological samples, which is infeasible when using commercial AFMs. FONP has made substantial progress in realizing basic biological discoveries, which may create new biomedical applications that cannot be realized by current AFMs.
超灵敏的纳米机械仪器，如原子力显微镜(AFM)，可用于进行精密的生物力学测量，揭示生物过程的复杂机械环境。然而，这些仪器由于其尺寸和复杂的反馈系统而受到限制。在这项研究中，我们展示了一种微型光纤纳米机械探针(FONP)，可用于检测单细胞的机械特性和体内组织测量。利用飞秒激光双光子聚合纳米光刻技术，在单模光纤的端面设计了微悬臂探针，开发了一种可在空气和液体中工作的光纤激光器。为了实现微悬臂梁与试样的刚度匹配，基于结构相关力学，提出了一种根据试样定制微悬臂梁弹簧常数的策略。作为概念验证，制备了三个弹簧常数在0.421 N m−1至52.6 N m−1之间变化超过两个数量级的fonp。微力灵敏度最高为54.5 nm μN−1，检出限为2.1 nN。异质软质材料(如聚二甲基硅氧烷、活小鼠肌肉组织、洋葱细胞和MCF-7细胞)的杨氏模量成功测量，验证了该方法的广泛适用性。我们的策略为直接编程光纤afm提供了一个通用协议。此外，该方法对活体生物样品的大小和形状没有特殊要求，这在使用商用AFMs时是不可行的。FONP在实现基础生物学发现方面取得了实质性进展，这可能会创造出当前afm无法实现的新的生物医学应用。
