Improving the Mechanical Properties of Polycarbonate Nanocomposites with Plasma‐Modified Carbon Nanofibers

The mechanical properties of polycarbonate film embedded with carbon nanofibers were studied based on plasma surface modification of carbon nanofibers by the use of polystyrene. The nanofiber surfaces were modified by various processing conditions including plasma polymerization power, nanofiber concentration, and ultrasonication time. The tensile strength and Young's modulus of the carbon nanofiber‐polycarbonate composites were then measured. The mechanical behavior of the composite was found to be affected by dispersion of the nanofibers. Higher plasma power resulted in improved mechanical strength. A maximum strength (10% increase) was achieved at a low concentration (1 wt.%) of nanofibers. The optimization of ultrasonication time indicated that the maximum strength occurred at different times for the composites with different concentrations of the modified carbon nanofibers.     

Investigations of Pulse‐Plasma‐Polymer Coating on TiO2 Nanoparticles and Their Dispersion

An amorphous acrylic acid (AA) polymer coating was generated on TiO₂ nanoparticles through pulse radio frequency (RF) plasma polymerization. The AA plasma synthesis mechanism was studied by its optical emission spectrum. The chemical structures of AA–plasma‐polymer were carefully investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The dispersion behaviors of AA‐coated and uncoated TiO₂ nanoparticles in glycol solution were characterized by ultraviolet absorbency and particle size distribution measurements. The results showed that the aggregation of TiO₂ nanoparticles in glycol solution was effectively lowered and the dispersion was improved a lot after AA–plasma‐polymer coating. The pulse plasma coating parameters played an important role in the dispersion enhancement of TiO₂ nanoparticles. By properly regulating the pulse discharge parameters, the system could gain the highest radical–monomer reactions rate, the most compatible functional groups on the nanoparticles, and the best dispersion in the background media.

空间站快速充电事件的机理研究

空间站等大型航天器由于采用高压太阳电池阵而引发的 带电问题成为近年来航天器带电研究领域的热点问题. 近年来观测到国际空间站(ISS)在出地影瞬间产生的"快速带电"事件 (也称"异常带电") , 再度引起了对低轨道航天器充电效应的深入研究. "快速带电"事件的特征为, 集中出现在出地影的瞬间, 在几秒内快速上升到较高电位(30—70 V), 然后在几十秒时间内缓慢衰降, 相对高压电池阵本身引起的结构体带电(称为"正常带电", 一般在30 V以下)严重得多. 目前国际上对"快速带电"的研究尚不充分. 本文在Furguson等人机理研究工作的基础上, 首次建立了描述"快速带电"事件的物理模型, 定量揭示了其充电过程的主要机理. 根据该模型对国际空间站的"快速带电"进行计算, 结果与观测到的典型充电脉冲符合, 模型预测的快速带电事件的统计规律也与观测结果基本一致. 关键词： 表面充电 等离子体 空间站 高压太阳电池阵
