聚氨酯改性TDE-85/ MeTHPA环氧树脂的力学性能研究

采用自制的聚氨酯预聚体(PUP)制备聚氨酯(PU)改性TDE-85/ MeTHPA环氧树脂体系,探讨了聚醚二元醇(PPG)分子量的大小、PUP加入量等因素对PU改性TDE-85/ MeTHPA环氧树脂体系力学性能的影响。研究结果表明,PU改性TDE-85/ MeTHPA环氧树脂的拉伸强度和冲击强度随着合成的PUP加入量的增加先呈上升趋势,达到最大值后又开始下降。采用的PPG分子量不同,得到的改性材料的力学性能相差悬殊。当PPG分子量为1 000,PUP质量分数为15%时,改性材料的拉伸强度达到69.39 MPa,冲击强度达到23.56 kJ/m2,力学综合性能显著提高。

Gamma radiation effects on mechanical properties and morphology of a polyurethane derivate from castor oil

In this study, an adhesive of a polyurethane derivate from castor oil was irradiated with gamma radiation from a ⁶⁰Co source, at doses from 0.2 to 25 kGy. This adhesive polyurethane is considered for use in hospital furniture because it does not liberate dangerous solvents. Hardness and elastic modulus were measured by instrumented indentation with a pyramidal Berkovich indenter, using loads from 0.08–40 mN with a nanoindenter XP. The instrumented indentation hardness was 110 MPa for an untreated sample, increasing to 124 MPa after irradiation with 25 kGy, at penetration depths of about 5 μm. The increases in elastic modulus induced by radiation were less pronounced. This polyurethane is naturally cross-linked and the relative modifications in the hardness are attributed to an additional cross-linking process induced by radiation. X-ray diffraction indicates a slight increase in crystallinity. The roughness measured by atomic force microscopy increases after gamma irradiation.     

Damping,thermal, and mechanical properties of polyurethane based on poly(tetramethylene glycol)/epoxy interpenetrating polymer networks: effects of composition and isocyanate index

A series of polyurethane (PU) samples based on poly(tetramethylene glycol)/epoxy resin (EP) graft interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) were prepared and their damping, thermal, and mechanical properties were systematically studied in terms of composition and the value of the PU isocyanate index (R). The damping properties and thermal stability measurements revealed that the formation of PU/EP IPN could improve not only the damping capacity but also the thermal stability. Meanwhile, mechanical tests showed that the tensile strengths of the IPNs decreased while their impact strengths increased with increasing PU content. The value of R also had significant impacts on the properties of the IPNs when the PU and EP ratio was fixed, which could be an effective means for manipulating the fabrication of PU/EP IPNs. The morphologies of the PU/EP IPNs were observed by SEM and AFM characterization and the relationship between the morphologies and properties is discussed. With the results in hand, the PU/EP IPNs hold promise for use in structural damping materials.     

Characterization of polymer electrolytes based on high molecular weight PVC and Li2SO4

The polymer–salt complex with high molecular weight poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) as the host polymer and lithium sulphate (Li₂SO₄) as the dopant salt are constructed in the form of thin film. Ionic conductivity studies in the temperature range of 303–373 K are performed for polymer complexes with 75% and 85% PVC. Arrhenius and Vogel–Tamman–Fulcher (VTF) behaviour was observed before and after the T_g of polymer, respectively. Dielectric constant and electrical modulus were analyzed and it was concluded that the films had ion conducting potential. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) study confirmed that complexation occurred between PVC and Li₂SO₄.     

The measurements of coexistence curves and critical behavior of a binary mixture with a high molecular weight polymer

The critical behavior of solutions of poly (diallydimethylammonium chloride) (PDDAC, M_w = 3.2 × 10⁵) in the critical binary mixture of isobutyric acid (I) + water (W) was studied by the refractive index measurements. The measurements were performed at three different PDDAC concentrations near and far away from the critical point. We observed that the critical temperatures increase linearly with increasing the concentration of PDDAC. As the distance from the critical point increases, the system exhibits a crossover from the renormalized Ising critical behavior to the mean-field one. For the solutions with the highest PDDAC concentration, experiments suggest a crossover to tricritical behavior.     

Fabrication of Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe2/epoxy composites: Enhanced uniform magnetostrictive and mechanical properties using a dryprocess

To improve the uniformity of the magnetostrictive properties of Terfenol-D composites along the field direction, a dry method is developed in the present study. We examined the compaction pressure, particle volume fraction, particle size and composite configuration as factors that affected the magnetostrictive properties of the composites. The experimental results indicated that the magnetostrictive properties were improved with the increase of compaction pressure and particle volume fraction. In addition, larger average particle size was shown to result in more pronounced magnetostrictive properties. The particle alignment due to the orientation field is beneficial for the promotion of the magnetostrictive properties. The largest saturation magnetostriction and the maximum piezo-magnetic coefficient in the absence of a mechanical preload was obtained at 1005 ppm and 4.08 nm/A, respectively, for the aligned composite including a particle volume fraction of 77% and an average particle size of 210 μm.

In this paper we present a novel approach to modeling AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor(HEMT) with an artificial neural network(ANN).The AlGaN/GaN HEMT device structure and its fabrication process are described.The circuit-based Neuro-space mapping(neuro-SM) technique is studied in detail.The EEHEMT model is implemented according to the measurement results of the designed device,which serves as a coarse model.An ANN is proposed to model AlGaN/GaN HEMT based on the coarse model.Its optimization is performed.The simulation results from the model are compared with the measurement results.It is shown that the simulation results obtained from the ANN model of AlGaN/GaN HEMT are more accurate than those obtained from the EEHEMT model.
